Chapter 221: Fan Wencheng

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Fan Wencheng set his eyes on Huang Taiji's body, and said with some hesitation: "Lord Belle, if my idea succeeds, it will be a great achievement, and it will be able to lay the foundation for Lord Belle to inherit the throne in the future." But if it fails, or if something goes wrong, Lord Belle may have no chance to be in the Khan position. ”

Fan Wencheng's words were very light and his tone was very indifferent, but what he said was very important. Gently picking up the teacup, Huang Taiji slowly fell into contemplation, his father Khan Nurhachi has many sons, but there are few who can inherit the throne. Among the four major Baylors, the Great Baylor is brave and resourceful, and the old man is respectful, and he is the only one to inherit the Khan's throne. Erbel Amin, who can fight well, but his personality is very reckless and impulsive, and his temper is also very hot, and it is impossible for him to inherit the throne.

The three Belle Manggultai, in order to enter the unruly, can also be good at fighting. However, in the last battle of Shenyang City, Mang Gurtai lost an arm, and it is not certain whether he can go to the battlefield in the future, and he is naturally not competitive with the Khan position.

At this time, there were only two people who were qualified to inherit the throne of Khan, the Great Belle Daishan and the Four Beyler Emperor Taiji. At this time, when Fan Wencheng made such remarks, Huang Taiji had to think about it carefully.

After pondering for a long time, Huang Taiji said in a deep voice: "Sir, let's talk about the way first!" Let me think about it! ”

Nodding slowly, Fan Wencheng said in a deep voice: "Fighting a war is not only about the army, but also about the national strength. Relatively speaking, the Ming Dynasty has a lot of land and resources, and there are many troops, so we have no chance of winning. Since the Battle of Salhu, the court party struggle in the Ming Dynasty has been very serious, and they have no views on right and wrong, only different interests. Maybe they firmly believe that they are right, but many of them have harmed the Ming Dynasty. ”

Glancing at Huang Taiji, Fan Wencheng said in a deep voice: "Lord Belle, the land of Liaodong is a piece of land in the Ming Dynasty, and you can't separate him from the Ming Dynasty, but look at it as a whole." The party struggle in the Ming Dynasty directly affected Liaodong, but now it is different, and we must see the changes in the court of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Looking at Fan Wencheng's indifferent appearance, Huang Taiji asked quite urgently, "Sir, is there anything different?" ”

After taking a sip of tea, Fan Wencheng said in a deep voice: "Emperor Yaoqi has been on the throne for less than a year, but a lot of things have happened in the Ming Dynasty in this year. The rotten Donglin Party in the court was reprimanded, although it failed to completely smash those in Jiangnan, but it made these people have no right to speak in the court. On the other hand, these members of the Donglin Party are our Daikin supporters. Our food, salt, weapons and equipment all come from these sources, and Emperor Yaoqi defeating them is a much greater threat to us than winning a battle. ”

Sighing softly, Fan Wencheng said helplessly: "Even if we fight the battle of Shenyang again, if we lose once, there will be nothing." The cavalry of the Ming army is weak, and we can't fight a decisive battle in the field, and if we die, we will be able to recover after a while, and we will not be able to hurt our vitality. But now? The line on the Liaodong side was strangled, and we could only rely on the smuggling on the Shaanxi side. ”

Huang Taiji pondered slightly, and said quite seriously: "I'm also thinking about this, if we don't do something, I'm afraid there will be problems in Shaanxi soon." According to Emperor Yaoqi's practice, this matter will happen sooner or later, which is why I came to Mr. today. ”

Nodding slowly, Fan Wencheng said in a deep voice: "Emperor Yaoqi here in Liaodong reuses Sun Chengzong, judging from the last battle of Shenyang City, Sun Chengzong is a very capable entry. Emperor Yaoqi trusted him a lot, and there was no way to shake him in the party struggle in the court, so Sun Chengzong would not leave Liaodong in a short time. ”

Nodding approvingly, Huang Taiji said worriedly: "Sun Chengzong has just arrived in Liaodong, and he has made us suffer a big loss, which shows that this ability to enter is very good." Needless to say, if he is allowed to stay in Liaodong for a year, we will not be thinking about conquering Shenyang City. If he is allowed to operate here for three years, I am afraid that the offense and defense will be displaced. ”

After a slight sigh, Fan Wencheng nodded cautiously, and said with a calm face: "That's the case, so we must do something, we can't watch this kind of thing happen." ”

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Huang Taiji said helplessly: "Then what should I do?" We can't help it! At this time, if you are going to attack Shenyang, let's not talk about whether you can fight it for the time being, I am afraid that there will be no more support. ”

"Lord Belle, I said that the Ming Dynasty has a lot of land and resources, and the strength is strong, and then look at our Dajin, the power comparison is too great. Once there is no civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, it will be difficult for us to take advantage of it! Fan Wencheng looked at Huang Taiji and said indifferently, but there was a faint joy in his voice, obviously he had thought of a very good way.

"What can you do, sir? Please! "Huang Taiji has always felt that Fan Wencheng in front of him is a talent, and there are many people who can fight in Dajin, but there are almost no people who can give advice.

"There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that iron must be hard by itself. If you want to attack the Ming Dynasty, survive, and even enter the Central Plains like the Mongols did back then, what Dajin has to do is one thing, that is, to continue to grow himself. Fan Wencheng said as he slowly stood up and opened a huge map on the wall.

Looking at Huang Taiji, Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "This is what I bought from a merchant, a copy of the map drawn by the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty, which very clearly draws the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Stretching out his hand and pointing to the map, Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "The Ming Dynasty is so big, but my Dajin is so big, and it is very difficult to compete with the Ming Dynasty." Saying that, Fan Wencheng pointed his hand to the east side, and said in a deep voice: "This is North Korea, and I, Dajin, must find a way to take down North Korea, so that we can have a port by the sea." As soon as the DPRK comes in to us to grow grain, we will be able to get rid of the dilemma of insufficient grain and grass. In addition, we can build our own ships, which can engage the Ming army at sea and attack the Ming army's supplies at sea. Now the grain, grass and ordnance of the Ming army are hidden on the island, and we have no way to do it, but if we have a ship, it will be different. ””

Nodding with satisfaction, Huang Taiji said in a deep voice: "Sir is really talented, he always went to North Korea to rob it before, but he never wanted to occupy this place. After listening to Mr.'s words, it was really a surprise! ”

"Lord Belle, there are differences in our thoughts, Lord Belle, who has lived a nomadic life since he was a child, is naturally different from what I thought. In my opinion, if Dajin wants to be strong, it must establish a country, and only as a country can it have the ability to compete with the Ming Dynasty. We can learn from the Mongols, who had pacified the entire north by the time they conquered the Song Dynasty. If we conquer Korea in the east and Mongolia in the west, and do not absorb Mongolia into us, we will form a tendency to encircle the Ming Dynasty. If that's the case, if we attack the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to go through the well-defended Liaodong. From the original Tubo to a large area of grassland in eastern Liaodong, you can let Dajin's cavalry run away. We can choose any place where the Ming Dynasty's defense is weak and break into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and at that time, whether it is plundering or capturing, we will have the initiative. Stretching out his hand to draw on the map, Fan Wencheng said excitedly.

After pondering for a long time, Huang Taiji said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, we can turn Mongolia into the Mongolian Eight Banners and establish a cavalry team of 300,000. We have the ability to start a large-scale battle with the Ming army, establish a naval division in Korea, and be able to attack and harass the coastal defense of the Ming Dynasty. If it goes well, we will still be able to trade with the Japanese and overseas foreign races, and our materials will be very rich, and at that time we will have the strength to fight a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty. ”

Frowning slightly, Huang Taiji said in a deep voice: "But the Ming Dynasty can't let us grow, if we attack Korea, it is difficult to guarantee that the Ming Dynasty will not attack us in the back." If Lin Dan Khan marches westward, it will be difficult to ensure that the Ming Dynasty will not send troops in advance, and it is difficult for Mr. to do it! ”

Smiling indifferently, Fan Wencheng said in a deep voice: "This is not an overnight thing, we must operate Dajin as a country, and in the next few years, this is the goal of Dajin Country." As for the present, what we have to do is to try our best to provoke the disputes of the Ming Dynasty and let the Ming Dynasty take care of itself, so that we have a chance to realize our ideas. ”

"Sir's arrangement is very good, but what should we do now? The recent situation in the Dajin Kingdom is very difficult, there is no food, and half of the income is hungry. "Although Huang Taiji hopes that Fan Wencheng's idea can succeed, with Dajin's current ability, it is difficult to do this!

"There is only one thing that can be done to alleviate Daikin's situation at the moment, and that is to loot. We have two targets for plundering, one is North Korea and the other is the Ming Dynasty. The difficulty of plundering North Korea is relatively small, although the Ming army occupied the Shenyang avant-garde, but if you want to rescue North Korea, I am afraid that you do not have that strength. We only need to put 20,000 cavalry in the direction of Korea, and the army of the Ming Dynasty will definitely not dare to act rashly. Looking at Huang Taiji, Fan Wencheng said in a deep voice.

After pondering for a moment, Huang Taiji hesitated and said, "Can we take North Korea in one fell swoop?" Realize Mr.'s plan? ”

Shaking his head slowly, Fan Wencheng said in a deep voice: "There is only one reason why Dajin needs to annex Mongolia, we have less money. Although Daikin's cavalry combat effectiveness is quite high, but now there are 80,000, how many troops can we get from North Korea? Time has been held for too long, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely not let go of such an opportunity! If I want to realize my plan, I want to conquer the Mongol tribes, specifically to unite the Yeh tribe and conquer Lin Dan Khan! Once successful, we will have troops and horses to attack Korea. ”
