Chapter 701: Huang Taiji's Scheme
The development of Liaodong, Huang Taiji saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
After Dai Shan and Dolgon returned to Shenyang, Huang Taiji held a feast and entertained them warmly, which was a high degree of affirmation of the two, especially Dolgon, who plundered Dengzhou and Laizhou, got a large amount of wealth, plundered tens of thousands of young men of the Ming Dynasty, and caused a devastating blow to Dengzhou and Laizhou, which is something worth celebrating, as for Dai Shan, he went deep into Mongolia and restrained Su Tiancheng's attention, so that Dolgon won a complete victory in Dengzhou and Laizhou, and one point is very critical, that is, the warships of the Qing Dynasty, in the middle of the actual battle, After getting the exercise, all that remains is the matter of training sailors, which is nothing worth keeping secret, the warships of the Great Qing Kingdom appeared, and the Ming Dynasty faced even greater pressure.
Huang Taiji had a long talk with Dai Shan and Dolgon, the purpose was to stabilize the two, and they could not have grievances, Dai Shan led more than 20,000 people to go deep into Mongolia, but they didn't do anything, they must be uncomfortable, Dolgon was in full swing in Dengzhou and Laizhou, and he saw that he could attack Qingzhou, and even threatened the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty, but he was forced to return to Lushun, and ended the fight and looting prematurely, and there was also resentment, Huang Taiji had to explain and tell the two that this was based on the overall interests of the Qing Dynasty, Decisions must be made.
Dai Shan and Dolgon were also shocked when they learned that Su Tiancheng led an army of 100,000 and took the city of Montenegro, they knew very well that in addition to Montenegro could be defended, after Montenegro, Su Tiancheng could lead the army and approach Shenyang, at this time, they finally understood, it turned out that this was an exchange, if they continued to attack, the capital division of the Great Qing Kingdom would probably be dealt a fatal blow.
The two finally understood Huang Taiji's approach, but they also thought about it more. It is good to gather strength, and at the right time, start a decisive battle with Su Tiancheng's Jiangning battalion.
The interior of the Great Qing Kingdom has finally stabilized, and doing these things well is not a very difficult thing for Huang Taiji. However, the development of Liaodong made Huang Taiji restless and had nothing to do.
Su Tiancheng is so powerful, what he thinks of is not conquest, but the development of Liaodong, which is the most deadly thing. You must know that if Liaodong develops, it will be more stable and form an insurmountable obstacle for the Qing Dynasty. A detour to Mongolia and relying on the naval division to attack are not the best way, and the conquest of the Ming Dynasty will ultimately need to rely on the Eight Banners Army.
The elite troops of the Ming Dynasty were stationed in Liaodong, and the Eight Banners Army that penetrated into the Ming Dynasty must have been terrified, afraid that the retreat would be cut off. Fear of being ambushed, fear of annihilation. You must know that the Jiangning camp is waiting all the time.
The more this is the case, the more Huang Taiji thinks about dealing with Su Tiancheng, and it seems that the task of conquering the Ming Dynasty has been implemented as a battle to frame Su Tiancheng and make Su Tiancheng lose power. It's a pity that in such a battle, Huang Taiji didn't get any benefits, and there was not even any hope of success.
Su Tiancheng is too young, and there is still too much time, and it is impossible for the Great Qing Kingdom to wait for such a long time. Moreover, with the development of Liaodong, with the strength of the Jiangning battalion and the border army, how things will develop in the future, Huang Taiji cannot predict.
Discussing this kind of thing, Huang Taiji could only find Fan Wencheng.
In fact, Fan Wencheng's focus is also on this matter, the people sent to the capital last time did not have any feedback, Su Tiancheng did not have anything, this has already shown that the people sent must have been killed by the Ming court.
Fan Wencheng racked his brains, in his opinion, there must be no problem with these schemes, the situation of the Ming Dynasty, including the situation of the Han people, Fan Wencheng is confident that he is in control, Su Tiancheng has such great merit and has mastered such great power, the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty cannot be so relieved, and those ministers of the Ming Dynasty are very jealous, especially those who give the matter and the imperial history, a little bit of small things, are to make a big fuss, can it be said that ministers like Su Tiancheng, will they not attack, This is impossible, and the more powerful the minister, the more likely he is to be impeached.
In dealing with Su Tiancheng, Huang Taiji invested a lot of gold and silver, and was not able to attack Su Tiancheng, but established a complete intelligence network, which is also a huge gain, a lot of information from the Ming Dynasty, through this intelligence network, was continuously sent to Huang Taiji's hands, this is Fan Wencheng's gratifying thing, but in his heart, there is always a knot, that is, how to deal with Su Tiancheng, we must continue to think of ways.
This thing can only be planned and implemented by Fan Wencheng, if this matter cannot be successful, or it cannot be effective, he will not be at ease for the rest of his life.
When Huang Taiji came to the mansion, Fan Wencheng was still in the study.
Knowing that the emperor was coming, Fan Wencheng hurriedly arrived at the gate of the mansion and knelt down to greet the emperor.
Huang Taiji helped Fan Wencheng up, and the two came to the study together.
In the study, there are a lot of maps, which are densely marked with a lot of marks, take a closer look, most of them are the situation in Liaodong, between Dalinghe City and Montenegro, there are a lot of marks, these marks must be marked by Fan Wencheng.
After reading it for a while, Huang Taiji understood that all the marks were related to Su Tiancheng.
On another map, the Jingshi and Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty are highlighted, and the names of Zhu Youzhen and Su Tiancheng are written on it.
After looking at these maps, Huang Taiji was very emotional.
"Wen Cheng, I can't imagine that you always pay attention to Su Tiancheng's affairs, always pay attention to the situation in Liaodong, all the ministers in the court, if you are like this, I will feel at ease."
"Your Majesty, this is the duty of the slave, the slave has never been able to find a way to deal with Su Tiancheng, and he has betrayed the emperor's trust, and the slave is ashamed of the emperor."
"Don't say that, I know that the Manchus of the Qing Dynasty are still very powerful, Wen Cheng is afraid that he has suffered some unfair treatment, I look very uncomfortable, those Manchu nobles, always think that I want to do things for them, to protect their interests, but I don't know that they have forgotten, where does this kind of wealth and power come from, forgetting this fundamental, blindly playing with authority, it will be a bad thing."
"Your Majesty, the servants think that the Manchurians are brave and good at fighting, conquering the world, making a lot of contributions, and enjoying glory and wealth, which is also a thing that should be done, and the emperor doesn't have to work hard for this."
"Wen Cheng, don't speak for them, if this situation develops, what will happen after two generations, what if there is no fight and fighting, wouldn't you know that you will have fun and become a bunch of waste, these things, you must think of ah, there are many lessons in history, before my father raised his army, the army of the Ming Dynasty was so powerful, and then it was only a few years, and it was not like it, except for the border army, it was able to fight, the army of the inland guard, what kind of army is it, I once conquered the Guannei, The guards and soldiers who met Lu didn't know how to describe it. ”
"The emperor is far-sighted, and the servants admire him so much."
Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng and spoke.
"Wen Cheng, I regard you as a humerus, I don't like to hear you say these words, these words, presumably the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, may like to listen, I don't like to listen, in front of me, say whatever you want, don't worry too much, Dolgon, Azig and others, short-sighted, can't tolerate Han people, this is definitely not good, I also want to reprimand them, but there are some things, I can't do it."
Fan Wencheng's eyes were a little red, and he was choked and speechless, Huang Taiji said such a thing, which showed that he was in his heart.
"Wen Cheng, I have also thought about it, how to deal with that Su Tiancheng, this guy has become my henchman, if I don't get rid of it, my Great Qing Kingdom will not be at peace, but a few years have passed, and I can't think of a good way, as a last resort, I will see if I will send someone to assassinate it."
"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that this method may not work, Su Tiancheng is the Jiliao Governor, the security must be extremely tight, and the assassination is difficult to have an effect, if this is done, I am afraid that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty will trust and rely on Su Tiancheng more, and the opposite effect may occur."
"I used everything, but it didn't work, I'm really in a hurry."
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks, it's better to take your time, don't worry, the slave concludes that the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty does not have such a broad mind, Su Tiancheng holds a lot of power, and can even threaten the imperial power, can Emperor Chongzhen really turn a blind eye, the slave thinks that it must be effective to think of a way from this aspect."
"What Wen Cheng said makes sense, but I think that Su Tiancheng is not an ordinary person and can think of ways to avoid these situations, so it is not okay to sit back and wait for such situations to appear."
"Your Majesty, the meaning of the slave is not to sit and wait, the slave suggests, or use the previous method, didn't Su Tiancheng write a letter to the emperor, the emperor continued to write a letter to Su Tiancheng, focusing on the matter of peace between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, every time in a while, he wrote a letter, so that it accumulated, Chongzhen must be suspicious, and the slave firmly believes that the effect will appear."
"Well, this is a way, I wrote a letter and sent it over, there is nothing to lose, even if that Chongzhen doesn't believe it, it's not a big deal, you can think of other ways."
"Your Majesty, the slave also has to suggest that my Great Qing Kingdom should train sailors, so the threat to the Ming Dynasty is greater, the coastline of the Ming Dynasty is long, if my Great Qing Kingdom develops a powerful water division, it will inevitably make Chongzhen restless, and also think about the development of the water division, the development of the Ming Dynasty, unlike my Great Qing Kingdom, their consumption will be greater, and the officers of the Ming Dynasty are accustomed to greedy ink, so they can also consume a large amount of silver in the Ming Dynasty."
"Not bad, Wen Cheng will take a look, who will be sent to train the sailor."
Fan Wencheng was silent for a moment.
"The slave thinks that Prince Su is the most suitable."
Huang Taiji nodded, a smile on his face again. (To be continued......)
