I have to admit that in the era of cold weapons, the mobilization of war is really a protracted thing. As the so-called soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, just when Huang Taiji, the Great Khan of the Jin Kingdom, was preparing to raise troops to attack the Ming Dynasty, he encountered the problem of shortage of grain and grass.

Originally, Huang Taiji's plan was to march with an army of 100,000 in five directions, and he had always prepared grain with "100,000 people".

However, there were 80,000 Mongolian tribes alone, plus the Jurchen Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners, and the total number of troops gathered under Shenyang City was unprecedentedly more than 150,000!

This was indeed something that Huang Taiji did not expect, so early in the morning, he summoned Fan Wencheng and Kong Youde to the imperial study to discuss matters.

In the imperial study, Huang Taiji sat on the main seat in a yellow robe, while Fan Wencheng, who claimed to be "Jurchen Zhuge Liang", stood below him and stood with his hands bowed.

Kong Youde stood a little further outward, after all, the Ming Dynasty's long-standing way of thinking of "noble and martial" made him a little afraid of Fan Wencheng, the largest Han civil official in the Jurchens.

Kong Youde's body bent more fiercely than Fan Wencheng, and it seemed that only in this way could he show his respect.

Huang Taiji was very satisfied with Kong Youde's attitude, and after coughing dryly, he said, "Mr. Fan, Kong Aiqing." Ben Khan did not expect that more than 80,000 Mongol tribes would come, and the current food and grass were not enough to support the 150,000 army. ”

Fan Wencheng secretly glanced at Kong Youde, and was secretly a little unhappy in his heart. When he was the old Khan king Nuer Hachi, he took refuge in the Dajin Kingdom, and his qualifications were much older than Kong Youde's - and when he took refuge in the old Khan, Kong Youde also "aided and abused". Help Mao Wenlong fight the old Khan King!

But after this period of observation, the Great Khan Huang Taiji's courtesy to Kong Youde has reached the point of no return. We just picked up soap together, ah. No, we slept together......

The reason, hum, it's not that Kong Youde brought 10,000 firearms troops, and there are a lot of 1,000 pounds of Furlong machine guns in his 10,000-person army!

Fan Wencheng was very sour in his heart, he made suggestions for the Dajin Kingdom with all his heart, and in the end, he couldn't compare to a martial artist?

At this moment, Fan Wencheng is "possessed by a showman in the Ming Dynasty", as if he was born as a showman, and the cliff looks down on Kong Youde's vulgar martial artist - is it a noble and martial artist......

Fan Wencheng sneered in his heart. At the moment, I see how you Kong Youde can solve this problem?!

As soon as he thought of this, Fan Wencheng pretended to bow his head and ponder......

Huang Taiji saw that Mr. Fan was pondering, and it was inconvenient to disturb, so he opened his mouth and asked Kong Youde: "Kong Qing's family, in your opinion, the army of food shortage cannot be mobilized at the moment, how should we deal with it?" ”

Kong Youde was slightly excited, he didn't know the twists and turns in Fan Wencheng's heart. After all, it was a military general who was born, so he said directly: "Qi Great Khan, use me in the first battle, and I will win!" This time. Only 30,000 Jurchen Eight Banner warriors, 50,000 Han Army Banners, and 20,000 Mongolian tribes are needed! Those Mongols rode and shot far less than they did in the days of Genghis Khan. Moreover, the attack on the Ming Kingdom is mainly based on siege, and the cavalry is of little use—"

Huang Taiji bowed slightly. began to groan, obviously Kong Youde made a point. He needed to weigh it up.

In fact, there is an illusion in later generations, including Kangxi Xiao Mazi, who said that their Jurchens are "immediately winning the world", which is a big fallacy.

The war between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols, starting with Zhu Yuanzhang, reached its peak during the Zhu Di period, and then the Ming Dynasty suffered a loss, and the Orthodox Dynasty and the Jiajing Dynasty were beaten by the Mongols, but-

Whether it was the first Taishi or the Altan Khan of Jiajing's long period, they were all cavalry-based, and there was no way to encounter a fortified fortress like Beijing City.

The Ming army fought against the Jurchens, and finally fought "the Jurchens are less than 10,000, and they are invincible" - this is the Jurchen heavy infantry.

The most terrifying type of Jurchen troops, the troops that beat the Ming army, were not cavalry at all, but heavy infantry -- the so-called "white tooth soldiers" wearing three layers of armor.

Of course, it is accurate to say that the "white swing tooth soldiers" should be mounted infantry, and the mobility is based on horses, and the combat is dismounted and infancied.

The white tooth soldiers are quite similar to the Ming army's family members, they are all strong people, and often they also have a group of soldiers who do not want to die to charge into battle together.

The cavalry did not have much advantage in the face of firearms, because the target was too big, and the firearms of the Ming army were not only firearms, but also grenades, thunderbolts, three-hundred-pound furlong machines, etc., and the cavalry was so big that the target really couldn't take too much advantage.

The "white swing tooth soldiers" wearing three layers of armor are different, they wear heavy armor, completely ignore lead shot ammunition, and are naturally invincible when they charge.

Huang Taiji saw Kong Youde's words, and he was also a little hesitant in his heart. The Mongols don't look at the large number of people, almost all of them are "playing soy sauce", is it possible that the cavalry can still attack the city?

Seeing that Huang Taiji was about to make a decision, Fan Wencheng coughed dryly, and said lightly: "King Qi Khan, the outer vassal Mongolia is really a servant of my Dajin Kingdom, let's eat meat, how can we not give them soup to drink?!" ”

Huang Taiji slapped his thigh violently, yes!

This time I went to the Ming Kingdom to loot the material population, and the Mongols also knew it, so there were so many people here!

That Ming Guo is like a half-open kiln sister, only allowing Lao Tzu to be happy, and not letting the Mongols go up and nibble a few bites, can they do it?

To put it bluntly, the Mongols are not good birds, and the matter of Nima sending them to death - for example, filling in the lives of people in Liaodong, and now there are good things to plunder in the hinterland of the Ming Kingdom, so you don't bring "good brothers" with you?

There is no such reason for being a person and doing things!

If Huang Taiji "persuaded the Mongolian tribes" who were "eager to wear" and wanted to go to the Ming Kingdom to rob their homes and houses, wouldn't it give Lin Dan Khan of Chahar an opportunity?

As soon as Kong Youde heard what Fan Wencheng said, it involved "friendly countries", which was a matter of diplomacy, and this was not something that he could discuss as a small general. Therefore, Kong Youde frowned and fell silent.

After a long time, Huang Taiji finally turned his attention to Fan Wencheng for help......

Fan Wencheng felt a great chill in his heart: Hmph, what kind of national affairs do vulgar martial artists know? Let's see how the old man means!

Fan Wencheng took two steps forward, walked up to Huang Taiji, and beat a thousand children - this is the etiquette of the Jurchens, and said loudly: "King Qi Han, the 150,000 army is the heavenly help of the Great Golden Kingdom!" ”

Huang Taiji is also a scheming person, since Mr. Fan said so, there must be a solution. Perhaps, as long as there are 150,000 troops for two or three months of grain and grass, once they enter the hinterland of the Ming Kingdom, is it not what they want? (To be continued.) )
