Chapter 496: What is an agreement?
More than half a year has passed, and there has been no change in the Ming court, which makes Huang Taiji can't help it, although he understands that the plan to have internal strife and chaos in the Ming court is not something that can be realized overnight, but if it waits like this, in case a few years later, there is no change in the Ming court, it will not be a waste of time.
It was also at this time that the news of the Ming Dynasty's northern Liukou growing again reached Shenyang.
The keen Huang Taiji soon found an opportunity.
Chongzhen nine years into the pass looting, the result is that the Qing Dynasty suffered a failure, Chongzhen eleven years ago, Zheng Jiajun took advantage of the Qing Dynasty warriors to attack North Korea, suddenly occupied Fuzhou and other places, so that Huang Taiji's plan in vain, it can be said that after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, in the face of the battle of the Ming Dynasty, did not get the previous glory, which Huang Taiji could not bear.
The soldiers of the Great Qing Dynasty, everything relies on force to speak, Huang Taiji ascended the throne to become the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, most of the reason is still fighting on the battlefield, of course, there are many internal competitions, but ascending the throne as an emperor does not mean that the position is very firm, if there is nothing to do for a long time, there will still be other voices inside.
The Qing Dynasty is located in the north, but in September, it is already cold, such a place, want to develop on a large scale, the possibility is not very large, the real purpose of the Qing Dynasty is still in the south and the Central Plains, only by overthrowing the Ming Dynasty and completely occupying the south and the Central Plains, the Qing Dynasty can really develop.
The agreement was not signed for a long time, and the Great Qing Kingdom did not really pay anything, on the contrary, because of the mutual market in Liaodong, the Great Qing Kingdom was supplemented by grain, salt and iron. It can be said that it is recharged.
At this time, entering the customs to show the power of the Great Qing Kingdom, the opportunity is appropriate, and it is possible to loot a large amount of money, food and population.
As for the agreement signed, it is nothing at all in Huang Taiji's opinion. There is also no need to comply.
Daishan, Hauge, Dolgon, Dordor, Zilharang, Azig, Yueto, Abatai, Abai, Adali, Dudu and others were all concentrated on the left side of the main hall.
Fan Wencheng, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and others were concentrated on the right side of the Great Palace.
Between these two groups of people, the status cannot be the same, Dai Shan and the others are looking up, and they will not take the initiative to talk to Fan Wencheng and others, and when they talk to each other. is also spoken in Manchu, Duoduo is even more disdainful of Fan Wencheng, once for snatching Fan Wencheng's wife was reprimanded and punished by Huang Taiji, Duoduo has a great opinion of Fan Wencheng in his heart, according to the rules of the Eight Banners. The banner owner looks at the wives and concubines of his subordinates, and they can marry directly.
It is impossible to reconcile between these two groups, Fan Wencheng and others are Han people, with average status, according to reason, when they see Dai Shan and others, they must lower their eyebrows and be pleasing to the eyes, but it is a pity that the Manchu nobles really do not regard them Han people as people, so it is impossible to have a fairly harmonious relationship.
Huang Taiji is in the Zhenghuang Banner Jialazhang Jing Yang Guli, the first class Melle Zhangjing Tulai. and the first-class guard Sonny and others, surrounded by others, came to the main hall.
Looking at this formation, everyone knows that it is necessary to discuss big things. But it can't be a very confidential matter, and the confidential matter of the Qing Dynasty, except for Fan Wencheng, the rest of the Han people are not qualified to participate.
After sitting on the throne of Jinluan, Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng and spoke.
"Wen Cheng, let's talk about the situation of Daming."
After Fan Wencheng clasped his fists and saluted. I walked to the middle and spoke.
"The Ming court was not calm, and the rogues in Henan, Shanxi, Huguang and other places plundered. This is all because the Ming government collects taxes, making it impossible for farmers to live. As a result, more people participated in the rebellion, and Zheng Xunrui, the governor of Caoyun, was stationed in Huai'an, and although he was far from the capital, he was also impeached and calculated......"
Fan Wencheng can't know so much information, but he can make accurate analysis according to the information he has, which is his strength, so this introduction to the situation in the capital of Daming and various places is also able to grasp the key points, Fan Wencheng reported in the process, everyone listened very carefully, they need to get information from these intelligence, of course, not to obtain information from the Ming court, but to know from it, whether they have to undertake any tasks.
After Fan Wencheng finished reporting, Huang Taiji immediately spoke.
"I am most concerned about the situation of the Ming Liukou, I know that you look down on the Liukou and think that they are all rabble, but why don't you want to think about it, the Ming Dynasty is bent on dealing with the harassment of the Liukou, isn't it not taking care of the situation in Liaodong and the border passes, if the Ming Dynasty really completely exterminates the Liukou and stabilizes the interior, the Qing Kingdom will not encounter greater trouble."
Dolgon and the others, who were still talking in a whisper, immediately quieted down.
"The internal instability of the Ming Dynasty is the opportunity of my Great Qing Kingdom, I will not sit back and wait for the opportunity to lose, once my Great Qing Kingdom warriors enter the customs at this moment, then the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will send a large number of troops to defend the capital, the Ming army does not dare to fight with the warriors of my Great Qing Kingdom, but they also dare not leave, in this case, the Liukou has not been given a chance to breathe, as long as the Liukou continue to make trouble in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will not think that it can be stable."
"The Han people are accustomed to strategy, and the Manchus of the Great Qing Kingdom should also learn more in this regard."
"As for Zheng Xunrui, the governor of Caoyun in the Ming Dynasty, and the Zheng family army under his command, I don't think it's a big deal, Zheng Jiajun occupied Fuzhou and Lushun and other places, which did cause a lot of trouble to my Qing Dynasty, but this is not a fatal threat, Zheng Xunrui is different from Mao Wenlong, I analyze that the purpose is to occupy the territory and hold on, Mao Wenlong does things in an orderly manner, I will have a headache, Zheng Xunrui is different, doing things is fully analyzed and predicted."
"Gaizhou, Yaozhou, Haizhou and other places, we must hold on, don't take the initiative to provoke, as long as we can hold on, there will be no problems, as for Liaodong and border passes, I think it has been calm for too long."
Huang Taiji's words were a little contradictory, but there was no way to say them.
"I have decided that the 150,000 army led by Prince Rui Dolgon will attack the Ming Dynasty, and the three people who will follow Prince Rui to fight, including Kong Youde, the king of Gongshun, Shang Kexi, the king of Zhishun, and Geng Zhongming, the king of Huaishun, will follow the command of Prince Rui, and the 50,000 Han troops under the command of the three will all obey the command of Prince Rui......"
The hall is very quiet, this kind of combat deployment is the first time, Huang Taiji actually asked the Han army to follow the battle, which was impossible in the past, although Huang Taiji trusted Kong Youde and others on the surface, but the heart was guarded, the Han army led by the three of them was basically stationed in Shenyang and Liaoyang and other places, it seemed that they were responsible for everyone, but in fact they were under the supervision of the Eight Banners.
This time, Dolgon led 100,000 Manchurian Eight Banners and 50,000 Han troops to fight, the scale was grand, and the Manchurian Eight Banners and the Han army fought together, and there were too many things that needed to be coordinated, which should not be conducive to combat.
Fan Wencheng lowered his head, unable to see the expression on his face clearly.
Huang Taiji was arranged, leaving behind several princes such as Daishan, Dolgon, Duoduo and Zilharang, and of course, Fan Wencheng.
"Fourteenth brother, this battle is very important, and it must be dealt a heavy blow to the Ming court, as the commander-in-chief, you must coordinate the relationship between the Eight Banners warriors and the Han army, and remember that there can be no internal strife."
Dolgon was very excited, he was already known as the most courageous prince of the Qing Dynasty, and his combat ability was second to none, and he must have to show himself well when he led an army of 150,000 to fight this time.
"The emperor can rest assured, his younger brother will definitely turn the Ming court upside down."
Huang Taiji nodded slightly and looked at Fan Wencheng.
"Wen Cheng, what do you suggest?"
Fan Wencheng stubbornly spoke.
"The slave thinks that it is still necessary to pay more attention to the Zheng family's army, the Zheng family's army is stationed in Fuzhou and Lushun and other places, if you hear that my Qing warriors are fighting, it is very likely to take advantage of the weakness and attack Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou and other places, so while attacking the Ming Dynasty, we must strengthen the defense of Gaizhou and other places."
Huang Taiji glanced at Fan Wencheng with a smile on his face, he knew that Fan Wencheng had something to say.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Huang Taiji left behind four people: Daishan, Hauge, Dolgon, and Zilharang.
At this time, Huang Taiji will tell the truth.
"What I'm worried about is Zheng Xunrui, such a large-scale expedition, if you want Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun to have no movement, it's impossible, Fan Wencheng is right, the defense of Gaizhou, Haizhou and Yaozhou is very important, if these places are lost, Liaoyang and Shenyang will encounter a huge threat, then this expedition will outweigh the losses, so the matter of garrisoning Gaizhou and Haizhou, Haoge, you must pay special attention, and you can't have the slightest negligence."
"This time, the fourteenth brother led 50,000 Han troops to the expedition, which requires careful scheduling, the combat effectiveness of the Han army is average, but using them to resist the attack of the Zheng family army still has a great effect, if there is danger, or at a critical moment, send the Han army to resist the attack, and the Eight Banners warriors can be evacuated smoothly."
"Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, the three of them have different personalities, Kong Youde is rebellious, and the other two have stable personalities, fourteenth brother, as long as you control Kong Youde, you can control 50,000 Han troops."
Speaking of this, Huang Taiji's face became grim and cold.
"The Han army has repeatedly surrendered, there have been a lot of such things, especially in recent years, the sudden rise of the Zheng family's army, so that some officers of the Han army, repeatedly, such a situation, I was resigned to it before, but when the conquest is absolutely not able to occur such a situation, if in the battle to attack the Ming Dynasty, there is a surrendered Han army, fourteenth brother, you have to make a decision immediately, and there is no mercy."
"This expedition is very important, as long as you can grasp it well, it will definitely be able to disturb the peaceful situation of the Ming Dynasty, I have long said that you should not look down on the rogues of the Ming Dynasty, maybe these rogues can help me very well in the Qing Dynasty."
"I await your good news." (To be continued)
