After Dai Shan returned to Shenyang, before he could rest, Dorgon and Duoduo came to visit.

Dai Shan is very strange, he is stationed in North Korea, Dolgon is stationed in Quang Ninh, under normal circumstances, will not return to Shenyang, this time I don't know what is the matter, both of them returned to Shenyang, Dai Shan received the holy decree of Huang Taiji, hurried back, can it be said that Dolgon also received the holy decree.

Because they hadn't seen each other for a while, Dai Shan ordered a wine banquet to be prepared.

The study is a place to discuss big things, ordinary people are not allowed to approach, after Daishan and Dolgon, and Duoduo entered the study, the housekeeper arranged a special person to wait outside the study to avoid his master being disturbed.

"Second brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, Duoduo and I came to visit."

"Fourteenth brother, aren't you stationed in Guangning, why did you come back to Shenyang?"

"I also received the emperor's decree, and I will go to court tomorrow, and I learned that the second brother also returned to Shenyang, presumably the second brother also received the emperor's decree and came to visit with Duoduo."

"So that's the case, fifteenth brother, you have always been in Shenyang, but you know what is going on this time, the emperor is so excited, it seems that there may be something big."

"Second brother, I don't know exactly what it is, but according to my prediction, the second brother and the fourteenth brother have returned to the capital, presumably it may be something involving Liaodong, not only that, but the twelfth brother has also returned to the capital."

Dai Shan nodded slightly, the Great Qing Kingdom has been calm for several years, Dolgon led his troops to attack Dengzhou and Laizhou, the action was not very big, and there were not many sergeants dispatched, even if it was a big action of the Great Qing Kingdom. This is not in line with Huang Taiji's requirements, but Liaodong is very stable, I didn't hear anything abnormal, could it be that Huang Taiji is ready to launch an attack in Liaodong, you must know that the defense line of Guanning Jin in Ludao is impregnable, and it is really going to attack. That's a huge cost.

"Fourteenth brother, you have always been stationed in Guangning, responsible for confronting the Ming army in Liaodong, did you find anything abnormal, or did it mean that the army was preparing to launch an attack in Liaodong?"

Dorgon shook his head.

"Second brother, you know the way, the emperor has a decree, Liaodong must maintain the current situation, and I am stationed in Guangning. There is almost nothing to do, every day is to urge the sergeants to train, during this time, the sergeants under his command are suffocated, so this time back to the capital, I also want to suggest to the emperor, always stationed like this, the situation is not good. ”

Dai Shan stood up. Waving his hand, Dorgon and Daishan came to the front.

On the table is a map of Liaodong. Although he was stationed in North Korea, Dai Shan still did not forget and always paid attention to the situation in Liaodong.

The three of them looked at the map, and Dai Shan pointed in the direction of Dalinghe City and spoke.

"Fourteenth brother, fifteenth brother, you see. After the Qing Dynasty lost Dalinghe City, Montenegro and Quang Ninh became the most frontier places, including Yizhou, if we lost Montenegro, Yizhou and Guangning, there would basically be no stronghold to defend north of the Liao River. The remaining Xiping Fort is not enough to resist the Ming army, and there is no certainty of holding it, all these years, I have been thinking about it, when the emperor resolutely made the decision to attack Dalinghe City, it was a very wise decision, and the loss of Dalinghe City can be described as a major loss for my Qing Dynasty. ”

Dolgon and Duoduo looked at the map carefully, in fact, this map had long been engraved into their minds, and they had to look at it almost every day, Dolgon was stationed in Quang Ninh, responsible for the defense of the entire Black Mountain, Quang Ninh and Yizhou, taking into account Xiping Fort, and paying attention to the situation in Liaodong.

Dolgon and Duoduo are brothers, the relationship is extraordinary, the two control the white flag and the inlaid white flag, is also very united, plus the two brothers are brave and good at fighting, so the influence in the Qing Dynasty is very great, the power is not ordinary, not to mention Dai Shan, once one of the four great Baylors, the status is even above Dolgon and Duoduo. There was a lot of contact between them, but for such a long time, Dai Shan showed humility, because of some well-known reasons, Dai Shan rarely took the initiative to discuss the government and politics, and rarely discussed the affairs of the war.

Daizen's unusual behavior this time attracted the attention of Dorgon and Duoduo.

Daishan looked at Dorgon and Dodor, and spoke again.

"Fourteenth brother, fifteenth brother, over the years, I have paid little attention to the affairs of the DPRK, maybe it has been in the capital for a long time, after arriving in North Korea, I feel that my Great Qing Kingdom is far from being at ease, the status of Liaodong is too important, the Guanning Jin defense line established by Sun Chengzong has become a major obstacle to the progress of my Great Qing Kingdom, if my Great Qing Kingdom can break through the Guanning Jin Defense Line, the Central Plains are at your fingertips, such a big thing, we should all care about it."

"The emperor often said that there are not many Manchus in the Great Qing Dynasty, and compared with the Han people, it is insignificant, but the Great Qing Dynasty can stand for what can stand, and it is not our Manchu unity, look at those Han people, how about the large number of people, each singing their own tune, the people's hearts are not aligned, and they are accustomed to calculation, I can never be like this in the Qing Dynasty, otherwise the Great Qing Kingdom will not be able to compete with the Ming Dynasty, let alone enter the Central Plains, the situation in Mongolia has also undergone some changes, when I went to Mongolia the year before last, I have already felt this change, The Xibe tribe and the Dauria tribe have become stronger and stronger, and faintly have the strength to dominate the Mongolian tribes, the two tribes rely on the Ming Dynasty, rely on the mutual market with the Ming Dynasty, and the influence gradually expands, and some other tribes, for their own interests, choose to take refuge in the Xibe tribe and the Dauria tribe, and in the long run, there will always be a day when something happens. ”

"Now the situation in my Great Qing Kingdom is not very good, the emperor must be in a hurry, summoning us to Beijing, I am afraid it is for the sake of Liaodong, according to my prediction, the situation in Liaodong will soon undergo major changes."

As soon as Daishan finished speaking, Dolgon followed.

"What the second brother said is ah, when stationed in Guangning, the merchants on both sides of the country are constantly coming and going, I have also heard a lot of news, the place controlled by the Ming army, pay attention to the people's livelihood, it can be said that my Qing Dynasty is in Liaodong, there are not many advantages, a few years ago, a large number of Han people fled, some officers did not pay great attention to it, and now it is reflected in the drawbacks, the lack of people to cultivate the cultivated land, my children of the Eight Banners, perennial habit of hunting life, not very familiar with farming, when the spring opens, a large amount of arable land, almost no one cultivates, Fortunately, the Ming army changed its policy and no longer accepted the Han people, otherwise, how could our Eighth Banner Army hold on to Liaodong. ”

Dodor spoke.

"The emperor has always paid great attention to farming, and when he met in the court, he specifically asked that the Manchu people should also learn to farm, and the people take food as the sky, if they can't farm, lack of food, it will be difficult to maintain, but unfortunately many Manchu people have no intention of farming at all."

Dai Shan walked a few steps behind his back and slowly spoke.

"The emperor has paid attention to these problems, presumably there will be changes, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, if there is no grain and grass, there is no way to fight at all, on the way back to Shenyang, I am also thinking, what kind of changes will happen in Liaodong, is the emperor ready to attack, if so, first of all, we must take Dalinghe City, there are many Ming troops stationed in Liaodong, I really want to take Dalinghe City, but it is not as simple as before, dozens of miles around Dalinghe City, are controlled by the Ming army, I have no advantage in the Great Qing Kingdom, Fourteenth Brother, if you launch an attack this time, you must be the boss, these problems have to be considered. ”

After Dai Shan said these words, Dolgon and Duoduo both nodded, they would never have thought that this time it was the Ming army that took the initiative to attack, no matter how powerful the Jiangning battalion was said by Huang Taiji, they did not directly fight with the Jiangning battalion, let alone deal with Su Tiancheng, they would not believe that the Ming army was really strong, and they would not believe that the weak Ming army in the past dared to take the initiative to launch an attack in Liaodong.

"Second brother, in fact, I have been paying attention to the fact that after the Ming army occupied Dalinghe City, it paid great attention to the surrounding strongholds and fortresses, these strongholds and fortresses were connected with Dalinghe City, if you really want to attack Dalinghe City, you must pull out these strongholds and fortresses, at the same time, Dalinghe City is too close to Jinzhou City, if you want to trap Dalinghe City, you must prevent the reinforcements of the Ming army, according to my estimates, the sergeants that need to be dispatched are at least more than 100,000 people, of which 30,000 to 40,000 are responsible for stopping Jinzhou and Ningyuan, The reinforcement of the Ming army in Shanhaiguan, the remaining 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers, attacking Dalinghe City, we can still only take the method of trapping, so that the Ming army in Dalinghe City can not be maintained, and is forced to choose the method of going out of the city to face the battle, so that there is a chance of victory, the city of Dalinghe City is unusually strong, and the method of strong attack is adopted, the casualties are huge, and it may not be effective, and the Ming army's artillery is sharp, far from what we can bear. ”

Although Dai Shan, Dolgon and Duoduo did not expect that the Ming army might launch an active attack on the Eight Banners Army stationed in Montenegro and Guangning, they all expected that something major was likely to happen in Liaodong, which also shows that they were always paying attention to the situation in Liaodong and thinking about the future of the Qing Dynasty all the time.

There are many reasons for the problems reflected in this, Dai Shan and other Manchu magnates, as imperial relatives, have always thought that the Great Qing Kingdom is their Great Qing Kingdom, but those civil and military ministers in the Ming Dynasty think that the country is royal and they are just working hard for the emperor. I am afraid that this is the difference, although the Ming Dynasty has a lot of land and resources, it is difficult to defeat the Qing Dynasty, which is located on the border and has barren land.
