Chapter 1035: Meticulous Planning
Huang Taiji was really a little unsupportable this time, and the bad news that followed made it difficult for him to bear, but Huang Taiji, who was tenacious by nature, was still full of energy in front of everyone, and his spirit was better than some time ago.
The 30,000 army led by Duoduo was wiped out by the Jiangning battalion, few soldiers fled back, Duoduo was also killed, and the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Eight Banners was captured alive, and then Gaizhou was also lost, and all the Han troops stationed in Gaizhou surrendered.
Each of these news is terrifying, and it is difficult for ordinary people to bear, even Hauge has lost his temper a few times, and even directly taught his subordinates, obviously unable to control his anger.
Huang Taiji is very calm, the matter has come to this point, losing his temper is useless, it is a sign of cowardice, what needs to be done now is how to make up for it, how to stabilize the defense in the direction of Haizhou, or launch an attack from the direction of Haizhou, and start a decisive battle with Su Tiancheng.
Huang Taiji couldn't wait to tear Su Tiancheng apart, but unfortunately he could only think about it like this, launching an attack from the direction of Haizhou was obviously extremely difficult, with the sergeants now stationed in Haizhou, he couldn't fight Su Tiancheng at all, even if he mobilized the yellow flag and the blue flag in the Manchu Eight Banners stationed in Liaoyang, it may not be able to guarantee the defeat of Su Tiancheng, only by mobilizing the army stationed in Liaodong can he guarantee the defeat of Su Tiancheng, but is there so much time, the Ming army in Liaodong and Datong will be indifferent to the fight, when the time comes, the Ming army attacked Shenyang from Liaodong, and the Qing Kingdom would fall into a place of no return.
The consequence of making a wrong move is that you need to bear everything, but the consequence is too tragic, and Duoduo loses his life, which is an unbearable loss.
In private, Huang Taiji thought about Duoduo's past. After all, it is his younger brother, after all, he is a warrior of the Aixin Jueluo family, Huang Taiji burst into tears several times, and this is because of his error in judgment, which led to such a situation. In spite of all his shortcomings, the man was dead. Saying that doesn't do anything anymore.
The next campaign deployment established by Huang Taiji is still the idea he talked about with Haoge, that is, to find a breakthrough from the grassland, use the Mengbaqi to contain the Ming army in Liaodong and Datong, and the main force of the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Baqi will be transferred to Haizhou to start a decisive battle with Su Tiancheng, as long as Su Tiancheng and Jiangning Camp are defeated, everything will be easy to say. As for attacking from the direction of Liaodong, it is unrealistic, the army of the Great Qing State has never been able to break through the Guanningjin defensive line, it was not possible to do it before, and now it is not to be whimsical.
There are also the Japanese who Fan Wencheng is contacting, and the agreement has already been signed, signed by Fan Wencheng on behalf of the Great Qing Kingdom and the representatives of Japan. In September, Japan will send troops to attack Korea. Huang Taiji was not sure that the Japanese would really do that. In recent decades, the Japanese have fought against the Ming court several times, in exchange for a disastrous defeat, during the Jiajing period, the Japanese invaders rebelled in Zhejiang and other coastal areas, and were defeated by the Qi army led by Qi Jiguang, during the Wanli period. The Japanese invaded Korea, only to be defeated by the Ming army, suffered heavy losses, and had to flee back to Japan, that is, since then. The Japanese did not cross the sea to provoke.
The deployment of Huang Taiji is three-dimensional, except for the deployment on the grassland, the deployment of Liaodong, and the rest is the adjustment of the deployment in the direction of Haizhou, and on the Japanese side, Huang Taiji did not think that it was a separate deployment.
In the direction of Haizhou, after Su Tiancheng occupied Gaizhou, he temporarily stopped the offensive. Su Tiancheng's decision made Huang Taiji feel annoyed again, after the news of Duoduo's sacrifice and Jin Li's capture reached Shenyang, there were huge waves among the Manchurian nobles, and many people asked to launch an attack from the direction of Haizhou, conduct a decisive battle with Su Tiancheng, and completely defeat Su Tiancheng, this kind of call occupied the vast majority, but there were also calm people, including Dolgon, who could not be imagined by everyone.
Dolgon, Dordor and Azig are brothers born to the same mother, Azig is the oldest, Dorgon is the second, and Dorgon is the youngest, among which Dorgon and Dorgon have the deepest relationship, and the two are also politically absolutely allied, it is said that such a thing happened, Dorgon absolutely demanded revenge for Dord.
A direct conflict arose between Dolgon and Azig over how to deal with the deployment of the campaign in the Haizhou direction.
Azig resolutely supported launching a general attack from the direction of Haizhou, defeated Su Tiancheng, and avenged Duoduo, and also took the initiative to ask Ying, rushed to Haizhou to fight, and resolutely wanted to kill Su Tiancheng.
But Dorgon disagreed, believing that such an approach would not work.
After Duoduo was defeated and killed, except for Jierharang, who was stationed in Haizhou, almost all the rest of the Manchu nobles returned to Shenyang, and everyone knew that Huang Taiji would definitely make a new deployment.
Therefore, Dolgon and Azig and others, including Daishan, are all in Shenyang.
Dolgon's opinion is very clear, can not because of a failure, without scruples to press the entire Qing Dynasty, this is a gambling approach, not a wise choice, stationed in Liaodong army, all transferred to Haizhou, Liaodong Guangning and Xipingbao, I am afraid in the shortest possible time, will be lost, so that the Ming army can cross the Liao River, launch an attack on Shenyang, when the time comes, the Haizhou direction of the army, and have to be transferred back to protect Shenyang, this is completely self-tossing.
Dolgon also believes that when things come to this point, the situation in Haizhou is even more important in Liaodong, and it is necessary to properly dispatch a large army to Haizhou, Gaizhou has been lost, and Yaozhou and Haizhou must not be lost, so Liaoyang is also dangerous, if Liaoyang is lost, Shenyang will definitely not be able to hold it.
In Dorgon's suggestion, the Eight Banners of Mongolia are also mentioned, and the strength of the Mongols is mentioned.
This made Huang Taiji once again impressed with Dolgon, Huang Taiji clearly knew that Dolgon's ability is stronger than Hauge, if he left, entrusting the Qing Kingdom to Dolgon, there must be no problem, but Huang Taiji can't do this, Dolgon's ability is needless to say, but the desire for power is too strong, ruthless, it can be predicted that once Dolgon has mastered the power, Hauge and others will not be able to die, including his many sons, as well as Daishan and Zilharang and others, Once Dorgon has stabilized the situation, there will be a purge of dissent.
Huang Taiji thought of allowing Hauge to be able to entrap Dorgon, although it was very difficult to do so.
It has to be said that the death of Dordor made Dorgon's strength even thinner, and he lost the opportunity to compete with Hauge, Dordor is the banner owner of the white flag, holds the power of the army, has a great right to speak, and is also Dorgon's most powerful supporter, and now that Dordor is dead, Dorgon's political alliance does not exist.
But there is another thing that Huang Taiji has a headache for, that is, the flag owner with a white flag.
Duoduo still has no older son, in this case, the best person who can control the inlaid white flag is Dorgon, which is also the practice of the Qing Dynasty, for example, the red flag and the inlaid red flag, are directly in charge of Dai Shan, but Huang Taiji thought of some ways to temporarily manage the inlaid red flag, and later Dai Shan completely returned to his heart, and Huang Taiji handed over the inlaid red flag to Dai Shan.
If Dorgon were in charge of the White Banner and the White Banner, the power would be even stronger.
The eight flags are divided into three flags and five flags, the three flags are the yellow flag, the yellow flag and the blue flag, and the five flags are the white flag, the white flag, the red flag, the red flag, the blue flag, the difference between the three flags and the five flags is that the emperor directly serves as the flag owner, and the guards in the palace are selected from the three flags, and the prince and the county king serve as the flag owner of the lower five flags. Later, the upper three flags were the positive yellow flag, the inlaid yellow flag and the positive white flag, that is, after Dolgon took power, the positive blue flag was squeezed out of the Lang, so that the positive white flag became the upper three flags.
That is to say, after Hauge inherited the throne, he was directly in charge of the positive yellow flag, the yellow flag and the positive blue flag, and the strength was good, but the white flag and the inlaid white flag in charge of Dolgon belonged to the most capable army in battle, and in terms of combat ability, it even exceeded the upper three flags.
This is what Huang Taiji is most worried about, in the past, Huang Taiji even had an extreme idea, that is, to kill Dolgon, but judging from the development of the state, the Great Qing Kingdom may not be able to do without Dolgon.
Huang Taiji, who was in a dilemma, struggled to find a way out, that is, to let Hauge and Dolgon have as much contact as possible, so that Hauge could encircle Dolgon, and after a period of time, the progress was not very good.
Huang Taiji also made up his mind, many things are destined by the sky, manpower can not be completely changed, set up Haoge as Huang Taiji, will Haoge on the horse and send it again, Huang Taiji can only do this step, the rest depends on Haoge himself to grasp, Dolgon is a rare general of the Qing Dynasty, calm, brave and strategic, Huang Taiji will not do things in the same room, as for whether Haoge will do it in the future, Huang Taiji can't think of so much.
Regarding the next deployment of the Great Qing Kingdom, it must be decided, and after careful consideration, Huang Taiji is ready to consult with the Manchurian nobles in a hurry, and there are no Han people who participate in the discussion this time.
Before the discussion, Huang Taiji consulted with Haoge again, and made a lot of explanations, he thought about it, some things, let Haoge explain, let Haoge say it, so that many Manchurian nobles admired Haoge.
Huang Taiji wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to improve the relationship between Hauge and Dolgon, so that the two could unite, even temporarily, to deal with the crisis of the Great Qing Kingdom.
Huang Taiji knows that under the current situation, only by doing so can it be conducive to the stable development of the Qing Dynasty, and if there is internal strife, it will be an opportunity for the Ming Dynasty. (To be continued......)
