Chapter 861: Huang Taiji's Perception
When Huang Taiji led the army from Dalinghe City, he was full of confidence, and through careful analysis, combined with the suggestions put forward by everyone, he finally found the best way to attack, as long as he directly attacked Shanhaiguan, causing the shock of the Guanning Jin defense line, forcing the Ming army stationed in Dalinghe City, Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City to come to reinforcements, in this case, he can lead the absolute superiority of the army, exterminate the Ming army, occupy Dalinghe City, Jinzhou City and even Ningyuan City, the Guanning Jin defense line that the Ming Dynasty painstakingly managed, It's going to be a complete meltdown.
However, the attack on Shanhaiguan is not simple, the army can only attack from the front, the Shanhaiguan city wall is high, the sergeants must pay a lot of casualties, but compared with the possible results, the casualties are worth it.
From Dalinghe City to Shanhaiguan, there are more than 440 miles, and the army needs at least three days or more to be able to rush over, because there are many soldiers under his leadership, Huang Taiji does not have so many worries, and wants to set up an ambush for hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Qing Dynasty, Daming does not have such strength, he does not have to worry about being attacked at all, and he can rest assured that he will march boldly.
Starting from Dalinghe City, it was already May 24th, in a blink of an eye, it was almost a month since I left Shenyang, but this victory was enough to make up for the regret and depression over the years, and the huge victory achieved this time was also many years old, Huang Taiji's mood was very good, and even felt that Su Tiancheng was like that, if he expected the situation in Liaodong, he didn't make corresponding arrangements for what to do, and watched the Ming border army being wiped out.
Huang Taiji has been thinking about this problem all the time, looking at the court of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that Su Tiancheng is his opponent, and the rest is not a problem. This time the Ming Dynasty failed in Liaodong, Huang Taiji also didn't understand very well, he wanted to ask Fan Wencheng. See what Fan Wencheng will think.
On the first day of the march, after dark, the army set up camp.
Fan Wencheng entered the Chinese military tent.
"Wen Cheng, sit down, I've been thinking about a question these days, let's see how Wen Cheng thinks about it."
"I don't know what problem the emperor has in mind. The minions must know everything. ”
"Su Tiancheng and Jiangning Ying have always been the most worried about me, you also know that Su Tiancheng is the Ji Liao Governor, this defense of Liaodong, Su Tiancheng is still responsible, now that there is such a big situation in Liaodong, can it be said that Su Tiancheng did not expect it, no matter what I think, I think it is unlikely."
Fan Wencheng quickly spoke.
"Your Majesty. The slave was also thinking about this matter, but there was one thing, the slave thought that it must have been arranged by Su Tiancheng, that is, the sergeants guarding Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, the information detected by the minions, Chen Xinjia arranged for the border army to wait for Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, and there were not many troops. And the coach in charge of Guan Ningjin's defense line is Qian Qianyi, but judging from the current situation. This arrangement has undergone great changes, which once caused difficulties for the movement of the army, and Prince Rui encountered stubborn resistance, and from this aspect, it was impossible for Su Tiancheng not to meddle in the affairs of Liaodong. ”
"Well, that makes sense. What can Su Tiancheng not make other arrangements. ”
"The slave thinks that the problem is still with the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who has always been very wary of the minister, and the power to prevent the minister from being too great. So much so that it threatens the imperial power, in such a situation, if Su Tiancheng wants to meddle in the affairs of Liaodong, not only Chongzhen is unhappy, Chen Xinjia will also have opinions, what does Su Tiancheng think, but he is helpless. ”
Huang Taiji let out a long sigh.
"Wen Cheng, over the years, you have told me a lot of truths, especially about the matter of imperial power, I have thought a lot, some things, it is indeed necessary to pay attention to, but you can't care too much, otherwise what is the difference between me and Chongzhen, I will not be like Chongzhen, always be high, keep a certain distance from the minister, prevent the power in the minister's hands from being too much, and try my best to deal with it, which leads to the minister's words and everything, you have to look at the emperor's face and see if the emperor is in a good mood, If you decide whether to say these words or not, in such a situation, what kind of situation will it lead to, between the emperor and the ministers, you have to rely on speculation to guess what the other party thinks, what to do, and rely on guessing to grasp the situation, isn't it a big joke, such a guess, there will definitely be problems, each other don't know each other, and mistakes will definitely appear. ”
"If you want to say that this is the case, there will not be too many problems, the most terrible thing is that some villains take advantage of this opportunity to tell right and wrong, harm the dynasty, and even bring down the dynasty, for thousands of years, for what will there be so many traitorous ministers, I think that those emperors are high, unwilling to communicate with the ministers, regard the ministers as flood beasts, and always be on guard, in this case, it is strange to be able to lead the country."
"I won't do this, my ministers, they can talk to me face to face, and they can even quarrel with me, they can say whatever they want, even if they want to be officials and power, as long as they say the right reasons, I can also agree, so that my ministers understand me, and I also understand them, there will be no estrangement between them, and there will be no room for traitors around me, Wen Cheng, don't you say."
Fan Wencheng's forehead, there were already drops of sweat, Huang Taiji's words, the meaning is too profound, for him, it is not a kind of alertness, in fact, Huang Taiji knows a lot of things, but he didn't say it, Huang Taiji has the thoughts of many ministers, and also knows the character of most of the ministers, it is no wonder that after so many ups and downs, Huang Taiji can't understand anything.
"The emperor is so right, the slave has been taught, the slave knows the Dao, the Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, he doesn't know the situation under the Dao at all, this attack in Liaodong, Chongzhen actually doesn't understand, he listened to the minister's boasting, made a decision, and caused a fiasco, the slave thinks that this situation in the Ming court will continue, there are many ministers in the Ming Dynasty, not many people can see Chongzhen, and those who really know the situation of the Dao can not see Chongzhen, for example, these generals in Liaodong, as long as this situation lasts for a long time, The Ming Dynasty is naturally about to decay and collapse. ”
"That's right, Chongzhen often feels that there are no ministers around him, there are no capable people, isn't this a strange thing, Daming has a lot more talents than my Qing Kingdom, this is Chongzhen will not use people. Wen Cheng, you are my humerus, I value you very much, and I hope you will give me more advice in the future. ”
"The slave obeys the order, the slave is full of liver and brain, and serves the emperor."
"Okay, I just said so many things, let's talk about this Su Tiancheng, after so many years, I have always been annoyed with this Su Tiancheng, and I have thought of a lot of ways, dealing with this Su Tiancheng, it always has no great effect, this time if I take Dalinghe City, Jinzhou City, and even Ningyuan City, I am afraid I will have to think about how to deal with this Su Tiancheng, suffered such a fiasco, presumably Chongzhen wants to use Su Tiancheng."
"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that the opportunity has come."
"Oh, tell me, what kind of opportunity has come."
"The emperor destroyed the Guanning Jin defense line of the Ming Dynasty, Su Tiancheng has great ability, I am afraid that he will not be able to change the situation in Liaodong in a short period of time, but Chongzhen will not see it this way, Su Tiancheng has achieved so many victories, Chongzhen must think that as long as Su Tiancheng comes forward, all the problems are solved, in this case, Chongzhen and the Ming court will urge Su Tiancheng to change the situation in Liaodong as soon as possible, Su Tiancheng is impossible to fight against Chongzhen and the court, and he will inevitably risk his life to attack the city, and my Qing warriors will defend the city, Send a large army to start a decisive battle with Su Tiancheng, so that Su Tiancheng can not change the situation in Liaodong, after a long time, Chongzhen will definitely blame Su Tiancheng, in that case, Su Tiancheng lost his support and encountered the suspicion of the imperial court, wouldn't it be a catastrophe. ”
"Well said, Chongzhen's own bitter wine, need Su Tiancheng to drink, Su Tiancheng can't show his teeth, otherwise there will be a big disaster, before I always think, what to use to deal with Su Tiancheng, in fact, I think too much, wait and see, every once in a while, Chongzhen will have big and small mistakes, these mistakes, almost all of them have to be solved by Su Tiancheng, some problems, Su Tiancheng can solve, naturally Chongzhen's trust, some problems, Su Tiancheng can't solve them, I'm afraid I won't be trusted, With so many opportunities, I don't need to deal with Su Tiancheng specifically. ”
"The slave thinks that this is indeed the case, Chongzhen is very talented, and he wants to change the situation of the decline of the Ming Dynasty, but he can't fully trust the ministers below, and the problem will inevitably arise."
After coming out of the Chinese military tent, Fan Wencheng breathed a sigh of relief, Huang Taiji's meaning, he has already understood, Huang Taiji is worthy of a generation of kings, he has long known his own thoughts, he has always instilled in Huang Taiji the idea of strengthening imperial power, Huang Taiji accepts these views, otherwise he would not abolish the four major Baylors to jointly act in the affairs of the government, but Huang Taiji is much smarter than Chongzhen, on the one hand, strengthen and stabilize the imperial power, on the other hand, trust his ministers, use people without suspicion, such a mind, so wise, How could the Great Qing Kingdom not become strong quickly.
Fan Wencheng also knows that he needs to pay attention to it all the time, because he has always wanted to be loyal to Huang Taiji, it can be said that he has worked hard, these Huang Taiji are all in his eyes, but he can't provoke the relationship between Huang Taiji and his brothers and nephews too much, and he can't take some abnormal means to deal with some princes and county kings because of consolidating imperial power.
