Chapter 901: Decision-making and deployment
Chongzheng Palace.
Huang Taiji's face still looks a little pale, after a serious illness, it is impossible to jump around in a short period of time, let alone ruddy, but Huang Taiji can sit in the Chongzheng Palace, which is not ordinary, which also shows that Huang Taiji's body has basically recovered.
No one knows what this is for, could it be that Huang Taiji was in a coma for three days, there is a mystery in it, could it be that Huang Taiji has nothing to do, just thinking about a good rest, of course, it doesn't make much sense to guess these at this time, there are many things to deal with in the Qing Kingdom.
The hall is very quiet, many Manchurian nobles are here, everyone also knows that Huang Taiji's body has not fully recovered, so he came directly to Chongde Palace, also because of the urgency of the situation.
In the main hall, there was also this uneasy mood, Dolgon, Duoduo and Azig all lowered their heads, the three of them had a lot of things on their minds, Zilharang's mood was much better, as for Tony and Aobai and others, they all held their heads high.
Everyone is waiting, see what Huang Taiji says, if you want to deal with internal contradictions, it is completely okay, Huang Taiji has only been in a coma for three days, and some people are thinking about the succession to the throne, although it is not explicitly stated, but the restoration of the abolished system of sitting facing south, isn't this a big disrespect, no matter what your identity is, it is not okay to say such things.
In the entire hall, the most calm expressions are Hao Ge and Fan Wencheng, both of whom have seen Huang Taiji, but Hao Ge's calmness is to know that even if Huang Taiji is to blame today, it has nothing to do with him.
Huang Taiji looked at everyone, glanced at them one by one, and didn't speak for a long time.
The atmosphere inside the hall was even more depressing. Everyone didn't know what Huang Taiji was thinking and what kind of decision he was going to make, Huang Taiji didn't speak, everyone wouldn't speak, and they didn't dare to speak.
Huang Taiji was very satisfied with the atmosphere in the hall, and it seemed that his authority was still not ordinary. Although it is said that when he was unconscious, someone secretly made movements, but as long as he was awake, no one dared to mess around, Fan Wencheng's suggestion, Huang Taiji listened to it, and understood more matters.
"I want to tell you about the battles of Xuanzhou and Fuzhou."
Huang Taiji opened his mouth to say this, and the atmosphere in the hall was a little better, and everyone quickly understood. What happened in the past two days, Huang Taiji will not pursue it, or even mention it, so that the Great Qing Kingdom can quickly stabilize.
Fan Wencheng's face also changed slightly, although he said that he gave Huang Taiji advice, but he encountered such a thing, especially after seeing some people. Huang Taiji's anger will erupt quickly, even if he is not held accountable. It is also possible to say a few words and reprimand some people, but I didn't expect Huang Taiji to mention it at all, and he talked about Xuanzhou and Fuzhou as soon as he opened his mouth, it seems that Huang Taiji really figured it out. Without extraordinary perseverance and the understanding that the Qing Dynasty was dedicated to thinking about the Qing Dynasty and putting the interests of the country first, it would not have been possible to make such a choice.
Hauge was a little surprised, he didn't expect that his father didn't mention what he said at all, Hauge looked at Fan Wencheng. I lowered my head and figured it out alone.
Dolgon, Dordor, and Azig and the others were relieved, and they were also prepared for the worst, being reprimanded by Huang Taiji, and even accepting punishment, but Huang Taiji didn't say a word about the events of the past two days.
What appeared on Zilharang's face was admiration, Huang Taiji's arrogance, ordinary people can't do it at all.
Tony and Ao Bai and the others were obviously a little disappointed, they didn't think so much, they just felt that Huang Taiji should punish those who had the idea of not knowing the sky, no matter who this person was.
Huang Taiji ignored everyone's expressions and continued.
"The second brother was captured by the Ming army, and the red flag was annihilated by the Jiangning battalion, such a heavy loss is something that I have never had in the Qing Dynasty, maybe many of you are still thinking about how to hold you accountable, but my thinking is different, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, if I lose every time the Qing Dynasty loses, I must hold some people accountable, and some civil and military ministers must be punished, just imagine who will dare to lead the army to fight in the future, so this time, I don't want to hold anyone responsible, I can only remind you again, Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying are the henchmen of my Great Qing Kingdom, if we can't think of a good way to deal with it, I'm afraid Su Tiancheng will shake the foundation of my Great Qing Kingdom. ”
In the past, Huang Taiji admired Su Tiancheng so much, everyone must be dissatisfied, but this time, everyone did not speak, including the arrogant Dolgon, also shut up, annihilated the Zhenghongqi at one time, and captured Dai Shan, such a feats are not blown out, the Zhenghongqi soldiers who returned to Shenyang sporadically, less than twenty people, the descriptions of these people are true, not false, the Jiangning battalion sergeant and the Eight Banners sergeant face to face, and they are not left behind, and even occupy a certain advantage, this is the most terrible thing, The capital that the Qing Kingdom is proud of is its personal bravery.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Huang Taiji spoke again.
"The focus now is the next step of the arrangement, I have thought about it carefully, I have lost Xuanzhou, Fuzhou, including Zhenjiang, Phoenix, Xiuyan and other places, and even including North Korea, you are not satisfied, unconvinced, and even want to recapture it again, don't hide it from you, I also have such thoughts, but the actual situation now is that Xuanzhou, Fuzhou and other places, there are no less than 80,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers, and Su Tiancheng completely controls the sea area, 20,000 warriors of the Red Banner died in Xuanzhou, do I have unrealistic ideas, Abandon Shenyang and go to recapture Xuanzhou and Fuzhou? ”
Huang Taiji's voice was not loud, but it was very clear, and there was not even a sound of discussion in the main hall.
Huang Taiji seemed a little tired and looked at everyone.
"Fourteenth brother, what decision do you think I should make next?"
Dolgon was stunned for a moment, looked at Huang Taiji, and quickly spoke.
"Your Majesty, my courtiers think that the focus now is to stick to Yaozhou, Gaizhou and Haizhou, which are the barriers of Shenyang, and at the same time, in the direction of Liaodong, increase the pressure on the Ming Dynasty and force Su Tiancheng to preside over the affairs of Liaodong."
Huang Taiji looked at the others, but no one spoke.
"What the fourteenth brother said, there is some truth, but I want to remind you that Lu Xiangsheng, who is stationed in Liaodong, is also a fierce general, and his ability is outstanding. I want to remind you that you are all the elite of my Manchurians, you all thought that the Han people were cowardly and would only fight for power and profit, the so-called civil war insider, foreign war outsider, this understanding, ten years ago, may have some truth, but now the situation has changed, if you still can't realize this, then my Great Qing Kingdom is really in danger, I want to remind you once again that Su Tiancheng's ability is not something you can compare, and even I can't reach it. ”
Huang Taiji's words caused everyone's surprise, and everyone raised their heads and looked at Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji's eyes were cold.
"It makes sense for me to say this, this expedition to Fuzhou and Xuanzhou, my Great Qing Kingdom dispatched 100,000 soldiers, and Su Tiancheng had 80,000 people in his hands, it is said that he should take the defensive, and it is impossible to take the initiative to attack, but Su Tiancheng can find the weaknesses in our deployment, concentrate superior forces, attack me all the way, and change it for you, dare to leave 30,000 people to hold Fuzhou and resist the attack of 60,000 troops, for you, you must have personally commanded, but Su Tiancheng was not in Fuzhou, but appeared in Xuanzhou, such a decision, Ordinary people will not do it, Su Tiancheng can know that the focus of the attack of my Great Qing Kingdom warriors is Xuanzhou, and there are a few people who can understand this kind of judgment. ”
Huang Taiji sighed, he didn't want to say more, he had already said enough.
Inside the main hall, it was quiet again, and everyone pondered the words of this emperor Taiji, and had all kinds of thoughts.
"I have made a decision, the most important thing now is to stabilize the defense, so many years, this defense matter, I have never considered it, speaking of this defense, I am also very sad, but I have to make this decision, I have to face the reality, I am afraid you have not thought that the Qing Dynasty has faced the danger of being attacked from both sides, Su Tiancheng's Jiangning battalion is in the Xuanzhou and Fuzhou area, Lu Xiangsheng is in the Liaodong area, and Zhang Fengyi in Datong, these have become real threats, Because Su Tiancheng exerted his power in Xuanzhou, he drove the Liaodong area, the reality is so cruel, we must abandon unrealistic ideas and devote ourselves to defense. ”
Speaking of this, Huang Taiji tried to stand up, his body shook slightly, and the guards next to him were about to help him, but he was pushed away by Huang Taiji.
"I decided to transfer the defense, the Han Eight Banners stationed in Montenegro, Yizhou and Guangning, all of them were transferred to Haizhou, Yaozhou, and Gaizhou to garrison, and the Han army stationed in Haizhou left 10,000 people, and the remaining 30,000 people were all transferred to Montenegro, Yizhou and Guangning to garrison, Dolgon continued to garrison in Ningyuan, and controlled the soldiers of Montenegro and Yizhou, Duoduo was stationed in Haizhou, and the soldiers of Haizhou, Yaozhou and Gaizhou were controlled, Haoge was stationed in Liaoyang, and Zierharang stayed in Shenyang, and the soldiers with red flags were under my direct jurisdiction."
"Okay, I hope you can do your best to get through this most difficult time, the Great Qing Kingdom is our Great Qing Kingdom, as long as you do your best, you will definitely be able to be brilliant again."
Huang Taiji did not mention what happened in the past two days, nor did he pursue the failure of the Xuanzhou and Fuzhou expeditions, which was beyond the imagination of most people, Dolgon, Duoduo and Haoge all left Shenyang, but Jierharang stayed in Shenyang, which is also a little strange to everyone, at least Haoge should stay in Shenyang, such an arrangement can only explain one thing, the future emperor of the Qing Dynasty is not Haoge.
