At that moment, Yue Tuo stood up and said: "Your Majesty, at that time, at that time, Lushun had the support of the Dengzhou Naval Division, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus the Ming army's firearms were sharp, and it was the best policy to retreat, but now the Tiemoda army has been wiped out, and Jinzhou has been lost, this is a fiasco that has not been seen since we started the army, and now the people of the banners are uncertain, and rumors are spreading, if the arrogance of the Ming army is not beaten down, the islands of the Dongjiang River will land if they want to land, and they will hit which city if they want to hit that city, how can we explain to the banner people?" ”

Seeing that everyone was thinking deeply, Yue Tuo continued: "Uncles, Yue Tuo is a junior, originally there were some things that were inconvenient to say, but now that Tiemoda has died in battle, everyone doesn't think about revenge, but looks at the joke in a weird way, what can we rely on to suppress the Ming army?" If we can't be consistent with the outside world, what is the difference between us and those Ming troops? ”

After Yue Tuo finished speaking, everyone in the hall did not speak, even if they had any ideas, it was difficult to say at this time, so as not to become a target.

"The various departments of the Dongjiang River are making a fuss again, although they are all small fights, but after all, they will pull our hands and feet, distract our minds, so that we can't go all out to look west, today everyone will discuss, how to deal with it?" After a while, Huang Taiji slowly spoke.

The rebel generals of the Ming Army and the generals of the Han Banner Army in the hall did not dare to make a sound, they knew their identities, and it was already a great grace to be able to participate in this kind of court meeting, and what to decide, it was a matter for His Majesty and Lord Baylor.

Sure enough, after a while, Dai Shan said leisurely: "The various departments of the Dongjiang River are not worried, they are scattered on the island, as long as they send a team of soldiers and horses, and ask the DPRK to provide food and ships, we can defeat them one by one, but now the focus is not on the Dongjiang River......"

Huang Taiji also nodded and said: "Second brother is right, after Mao Wenlong's death, the Dongjiang River was a plate of scattered sand, and now it is just a dying struggle, but this guerrilla battalion has already thwarted our prestige twice, if we can't take revenge, how can we deter Dongjiang and North Korea?" ”

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Huang Taiji said again: "I mean, I still have to give this guerrilla battalion a good look, and the Ming general named Yang Bo, I look at this person with some rules and regulations, this battle to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, the sound of the east and the west and other means emerge in endlessly, Lushun was just a small thousand households, and now he has been promoted to a guerrilla general, An Zhi said that he will be promoted to a general and a general officer?" If this son is not removed, it will become a trouble for me in the future. ”

After speaking, Huang Taiji looked at Dolgon, Dolgon knew Huang Taiji's thoughts, the two white flags are the second strongest of the eight banners, Huang Taiji means himself, and he may not have the opportunity to weaken the strength of the two white flags, thinking of Yue Tuo's past when he lost troops under Lushun City, Dolgon said stiffly: "Jinzhou is strong, if the Ming army is based on the city, there will be more losses in eagerness, plus the Ming soldiers are not afraid of death, and there are many firearms, I am afraid that Jinzhou will be another Lushun"

The confrontation between these two people with ghosts in their hearts, but they didn't expect to annoy Azig, he stood up and said loudly: "I have been invincible since the Qing Dynasty started the army, attacking the city, killing the Ming garrison, hundreds of generals and officers above the thousands, Mao Wenlong claimed to have 150,000 soldiers, what in the end?" Haven't you been driven into the sea by us to survive? Now a guerrilla is afraid to say that it is a joke in vain, Azig is willing to lead the army to the battle, destroy the Ming general, and level the Golden State Lushun! ”

Seeing Azig's angry face, Dolgon sneered in his heart: "Idiot! ”

Huang Taiji smiled, looked at Yue Tuo and said, "You have fought with the guerrilla battalion, you see, if you capture Jinzhou, how to start?" ”

Yue Tuo thought for a while and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the firearms of Yang Bo's department are extremely sharp, which is quite different from the Ming army elsewhere, others who defend the city and hate to block us all under the city wall, Yang Bo's department will deliberately release a gap, or left or right, and after we attack it, the firearms are all released, the number of soldiers on the head of the city is originally limited, and there is no way to retreat, in the face of their firearms volley, they can't force the battle within dozens of steps, and they often suffer heavy casualties, this is one of them." ”

A solid mountain with a blue flag also said boldly: "Indeed, Yang Bobu's firearms have a long range and great power, especially the strict discipline, they can face the impact of our cavalry to within the range before firing, but our strong bows and crossbows have no room to play." The artillery fired by their artillery team would burst again, and the cavalry would not be able to line up in dense formation. ”

Yue Tuo saw that everyone was listening attentively, even Azig was no exception, and said: "This Ming army is not only sharp in firearms, but also extremely brave in spearmen and sword and shield soldiers, and it is not the same as other Ming soldiers. ”

It was the first time for everyone to hear such a comprehensive analysis of Yang Bo's combat effectiveness, and after listening to it, they couldn't help but take a breath, and Hao Ge said with some resentment: "In this way, the Ming general will be invulnerable with his troops?" I am invincible in the Qing Dynasty, invincible in the world, am I going to write upside down in front of Yang Bobu? ”

Dai Shan turned his wrench and said, "He has sharp firearms, are we gone?" Since I entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty, I have captured a lot of Ming artillery, why don't you get up to attack the formation of the Ming army? As long as the formation can be broken up, the Ming army will not let me slaughter it? ”

Huang Taiji nodded and said: "Yes, the second brother is very true, in this way, I will ask Ruitu to transfer the artillery of the Han Banner Army for you to use."

Dai Shan said again: "The way of leading soldiers is ever-changing, can firearms be kings?" There are so many firearms in the Ming army, what is the result? Can't you ride lightly? Can't we cut off their food routes? It's like Jinzhou, if the Ming army is stubbornly defending, I will be trapped, and when the morale of the defenders has been discharged, I will storm it......"

Huang Taiji nodded, suddenly stood up and said: "Yang Bo must be removed, sooner rather than later, in addition to political means, sending troops to recruit is the best policy, I have made a decision, each department of the Eight Banners selects a few divisions that can conquer and are accustomed to war, choose the right time, and use tens of thousands of elite soldiers to wipe out the Ming army of Jinzhou, Lushun, and Dongjiang provinces, what do you think?" ”

After Huang Taiji finished speaking, his sharp eyes swept in front of everyone one by one, and Dai Shan, Yue Tuo, Haoge, Duoduo, Azig and others all stood up and bowed slightly, agreeing with the plan of sending troops to clear up.

Anyway, it wasn't them who sent troops, and they were happy to sit back and watch it, but they didn't expect Huang Taiji to say again: "There is nothing to do on the Western Front, and the rampant of the Dongjiang departments can't sit idly by, Haoge?" ”

Hauge hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Yes"

"You led the Blue Banner soldiers and horses out of the Yizhou area, stationed in Tieshan, forced the Li Dynasty to send warships and food, and completely wiped out the Ming army on Phi Dao."

Hauge looked excited: "Yes, Amma"

Huang Taiji said again: "Zhenghongqi and the Han Banner Army sent troops to Zhenjiang to monitor the Phidao Naval Division, and was responsible for clearing the coastal area, not allowing a single Ming army to go ashore, Azig sent troops to Jinzhou, and the Fuzhou Dolgon Department was responsible for monitoring the movement of the Lushun Ming Army and preventing the Dengzhou Naval Division from landing on the flank. ”

Dolgon was a little hesitant in his heart, but he still got up and nodded when he saw Huang Taiji's gaze sweeping.

Dai Shan saw that Huang Taiji was so fanfare for a Jinzhou, so he persuaded: "This year's drought, Liaodong is not good for grain and grass, if the army from all walks of life comes out, it will cost countless people, and the Jinzhou Lushun area is far away, and the supply is inconvenient, in my opinion, Your Majesty is still waiting for two months, and the coast is icing everywhere, then my soldiers and horses can directly cross the sea to attack Phi Island, and there is no need to allocate ships to transport them, isn't it convenient?" ”

Huang Taiji pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Second brother is right, but in this case, you need to fight quickly, otherwise the sea water will freeze after more than a month, and it will be our turn to be passive at that time." ”

In addition to military strikes, Huang Taiji also sent the Han Banner Army to the islands of the Dongjiang River, with the purpose of recruiting Dongjiang soldiers and plotting against the Dongjiang generals, and sending envoys to Korea, or intimidation, perhaps to take advantage of it, to ask North Korea to send troops to assist, and to provide food and warships at the worst, just to join forces to deal with the Dongjiang.

Since October 25, the imperial court began to receive good news from all walks of life, and the successes continued for several days, which made Emperor Chongzhen happy.

First of all, the deputy commander-in-chief of Dengzhou Shang Kexi reported that Shang Kexi led 3,000 soldiers and horses to land on Lianyun Island, and none of the more than 800 Tartars on the island escaped the net, and all of them were annihilated......

Then the guerrilla battalion landed on Changsheng Island, surrounded and annihilated more than 1,200 Tartars and Baoyi on the island, and sent sentry cavalry to harass Fuzhou and other places.

Then Guanglu's report document arrived, saying that the eighteenth Guanglu Tan Yinghua Department landed in Wanghai Fort, cleared the fortress occupied by the Tartars in the coastal area, and killed it......

That night, Emperor Chongzhen made an exception and drank a few glasses, and had a long day with Concubine Tian, and was about to drive back to the palace to deal with the recital, when a lieutenant official reported urgently, saying that Wen Tiren and Zhang Fengyi of the military department asked to see him, saying that there was an urgent report from the military department.

At that time, Emperor Chongzhen's heart jumped suddenly, the good news has been continuous in the past few days, Wen Tiren is in person, and there is obviously a big event.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen said, "Please! ”

Sure enough, the two of them rushed in with joy on their faces, knelt directly on the ground and said: "Great joy, Your Majesty, Yan Kunzhi, the squire of the military department and the governor of Denglai, has reported the good news."

Emperor Chongzhen asked with some eagerness in his heart: "Say!" ”

Wen Tiren kowtowed heavily: "Thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, the soldiers will use their lives to recover Jinzhou!" Your Majesty, Jinzhou has been restored! ”

Hearing Wen Tiren's words, Concubine Tian, who didn't have time to evade, also led the palace maid and the eunuch to kneel on the ground, praising her mouth.

Emperor Chongzhen said in ecstasy: "Quick, quick, quickly show me the report, sir, you continue!" ”

Wen Tiren glanced at Zhang Fengyi, Zhang Fengyi cleared his throat and said loudly: "After clearing Changsheng and the Tatar slaves on Lianyun Island, Yan Kunzhi, the governor of Denglai, designed to transfer out the Jinzhou defenders, and when he saw the emptiness of Jinzhou, he sent a guerrilla battalion and Dengzhou General Li Weiluan, Guanglu General Tan Yinghua, and the three soldiers and horses worked together, thundered and captured Jinzhou, and turned around and annihilated the main force of the Tatar slaves who went out of the city, beheaded nearly a thousand people, and captured a number of ......."

After Emperor Chongzhen read the chapter, he already had a preliminary understanding of the specific details of this battle, he stood up and slapped his palm heavily and said: "Okay, good, this Yan Kunzhi is still a person who knows the soldiers, and Mr. Nuo insists on mentioning him as the squire of the military department!" ”

Wen Tiren nodded, smiling without saying a word.

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Jinzhou is restored, and southern Liaoning is promising......" (to be continued.) )
