It is precisely because the Northeast is vast and sparsely populated, and the wilderness is thousands of miles, that Houjin has not found that the back of his family's holy land has been nailed by others until now.

Fan Wencheng's face was full of filtered color, and for the first time, he felt the horror of that Haonan. Quietly deployed military forces in their large rear, coupled with the occupation of North Korea this time, so that Houjin from the southwest to the northeast, the whole introduction. Under the military siege of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's going to trap us."

Dai Shan took the initiative to ask for help, and said: "Great Khan, North Korea must not lose, please give me a strong team, I am willing to conquer North Korea twice!" ”

Dai Shan invited Ying to fight, and other fierce generals such as Mang Gurtai, Azig, and Amin followed suit, and the atmosphere of asking for battle was strong.

Huang Taiji also believes that the blockade must be broken, otherwise they will have to return to the primitive society. It's just that Huang Taiji is not a reckless person, he still looks at Fan Wencheng to see what he means.

Fan Wencheng then said: "Knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, the Liaodong Army is currently stationed on the banks of the Yalu River in North Korea with a strong front-line force, 20,000 black armor elite cavalry, 1,000 artillery pieces, and 10,000 musket teams. ”

Dai Shan and the others were suddenly shocked, they had never cared about intelligence, and suddenly learned that the black-armored elite cavalry of the Liaodong Army had turned into a terrifying heavy cavalry, which made everyone gasp. Azig said suddenly: "20,000 heavy cavalry, where did he get so many Western war horses."

Fan Wencheng replied: "I heard that it was purchased from the Spanish colonies of the Philippines and Mexico, and the two places provided 10,000 war horses to the Liaodong Governorate every year. This kind of western war horse, both in terms of body and endurance, far exceeds the war horse we use, so that the heavy armor of the black armor elite cavalry is no longer chicken ribs, but a veritable heavy cavalry! ”

Huang Taiji nodded and said: "What Aiqing said is true, the light cavalry and the heavy cavalry are in a duel, and the odds of winning are too low, two or three catties." Light cavalry for a heavy cavalry can be regarded as an advantage. ”

Fan Wencheng said: "Now Deng Haonan has no intention of fighting with us, because his heavy cavalry still has a fatal flaw. ”

"What flaw?"

Everyone asked, Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "Although Deng Haonan's heavy cavalry has reached 20,000 horses, it is a pity that he does not have his own horse farm, and he imports 10,000 war horses to Western countries every year. This is his biggest weakness! ”

Everyone nodded, and Dai Shan suddenly asked: "You said that Deng Haonan will not take the initiative to attack us, which means that he is still waiting, waiting for his heavy cavalry to continue to grow!" ”

"Yes!" Fan Wencheng said: "That Haonan only has 20,000 heavy cavalry at the moment, and it has formed a huge threat to us. But he did not dare to engage in a cavalry duel with us, for his heavy cavalry did not have much combat experience. I think he is preparing to blockade us, keep accumulating horses and soldiers, and when his heavy cavalry reaches 80,000 or more than 100,000, I think then he will take the initiative to attack us!

Amin pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "You're talking big!" How can Deng Haonan have that ability? You must know that our Dajin Kingdom has been saving for decades, and now it is only 200,000 cavalry, how easy is it for him to get 100,000 cavalry? ”

Azig nodded and said, "Amin is right! A horse only has a lifespan of more than 20 years, even if he can get 10,000 war horses a year, but you must know that war horses can only last for three to five years, and when he has gathered enough 100,000 war horses, the previous war horses have exceeded the service age, and they are not a group of wastes on the battlefield? ”

"Here's the problem!" Fan Wencheng said: "Deng Haonan is not a fool, he spends a lot of money every year to buy expensive Western war horses, at best, he can only maintain a standing force of 30,000 heavy cavalry. To pose a mortal threat to us, he must have his own horse farm, and develop it to a scale that can supply 50,000 to 100,000 horses a year, so that he can maintain a standing size of 100,000 heavy cavalry

Huang Taiji nodded and said, "Aiqing is right! We can't look at Di Haonan in the way we look at ourselves. We have a small population, which is why we have developed so slowly, accumulating 200,000 warriors in a few decades. But Deng Haonan is different, he is now the feudal official of the Ming Dynasty, as long as there are enough war horses, he can recruit 100,000 or 1 million people to participate in the war at any time! ”

After stopping Huang Taiji's words, everyone suddenly realized the huge gap between them and Daming.

Fan Wencheng said: "At present, we have not received the information that Nahao Tu has established a horse farm, first of all, because the Taiwan Province and the Ryukyu Province are not suitable for raising war horses, and the Jinzhou Prefecture in Liaodong controlled by Deng Haonan is also unable to establish a large horse farm. And Deng Haonan obviously would not build the horse farm in the Ming Dynasty, because he couldn't trust the Ming court. And now that Deng Haonan occupies North Korea, he can completely establish a horse farm in North Korea. ”

"I have to guard against it!" Huang Taiji nodded and said: "Only in the cold areas can raise war horses that can fight well, otherwise no matter how good the horse breed is, it will not be able to breed war horses." The weather and places in North Korea are enough to build a horse farm! ”

Fan Wencheng shook his head and said: "North Korea is hilly and mountainous, and war horses are not suitable for running and training, and there is no fat forage for small-scale breeding, which is not enough for large-scale breeding. ”

Dai Shan asked suspiciously, "Then what do you mean?"

Fan Wencheng looked at Huang Taiji and said, "Great Khan can remember that our holy land, and even the north of the holy land, is a vast and fertile grassland, and it is a good place to raise war horses!" ”

Azig said dissatisfiedly: "You are a horse. and the horse farm. It seems that they are all saying that Deng Haonan and we have a stupid department? Now what we have to discuss is how to drive out the Liaodong Army in North Korea, what are you doing with all the boundless things? ”

"yes!" Dai Shan also said dissatisfiedly: "I thought you were very big, but I didn't expect it to be like this!" ”

Huang Taiji's face was displeased, but he couldn't say anything, after all, Fan Wencheng was Han, he couldn't turn his face with his brother for the sake of a minion!

On the other hand, Fan Wencheng did not laugh angrily, and said: "Big Baylor, listen to me!" What does Da Baylor think of Daming officialdom? ”

Dai Shan said unhappily: "Lord only knows how to fight, where do you know what Ming officialdom?" Besides, the Ming officialdom knows that the mouse moves the knife nest in the nest. ”

Fan Wencheng smiled: "What Big Baylor said is extremely true! thinks that Deng Haonan is now the biggest real power figure in the Ming military, but why didn't the dark Ming officialdom exclude him? Instead, let him enter the cabinet and serve as an important post in the Criminal Department, which is not in line with their officialdom habits! ”

Dai Shan glared at Fan Wencheng and said dissatisfiedly: "How do I know this?" ”

Fan Wencheng smiled slightly and turned to everyone. said: "Those cabinet elders in the central government of the Ming Dynasty will never allow a powerful figure who controls military power to meddle in the affairs of the central government. And Deng Haonan was not excluded by them, which shows that first, Di Haonan did not threaten their personal interests, and second, the Ming court is still using Na Haonan to help the court. ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Mang Gurtai obviously didn't like Fan Wencheng, a Han official, not only him, but several other Baylors knew that Fan Wencheng was Huang Taiji's staff, so they didn't have a good face.

Fan Wencheng had a good temper and said with a smile: "Deng Haonan did not threaten the vital interests of the Ming Imperial Court, the most important thing is that the Ming Imperial Court hopes to use Deng Haonan's army to help them relieve the border troubles, that is, to use Di Haonan to deal with us."

Amin said in an unkind tone: "What do you have to say, hurry up, don't beat around the bush, are you bothered?" You're not annoying, but you're very annoying! ”

Huang Taiji coughed lightly and said unhappily: "Amin, don't be rude!" ”

Seeing Huang Taiji speak, Amin had no choice but to swallow the words that followed.

Fan Wencheng said to Huang Taiji: "Great Khan! It is no accident that the first Khan Nurhachi was able to start with thirteen soldiers. God's favor is one thing, the first Khan is smart and brave on the other hand, and the most important thing is that the Ming court has always been indulgent

At this point, Dai Shan and the others suddenly jumped like thunder, and they were about to get angry. Huang Taiji was full of smiles, calmed Dai Shan and the others, and asked, "Go on!" ”

"Xie Da Khan!" Fan Wencheng continued: "It is precisely because of the fighting in the nest of the Ming court. In order to seek greater bargaining chips, they did not hesitate to sit back and watch my big gold continue to grow stronger. As long as we are here, the Ming Dynasty is threatened, and it is bound to concentrate its financial and military resources in Liaodong. In this way, Liaodong has become the biggest political bargaining chip, and it has also become a place for corrupt officials to swallow money. As long as we save zài for one day, they will accumulate wealth for one more day. Over time, it has contributed to the strength of Daikin today. Now that the Ming court can't control the situation, and the direct balance with us has been broken, they can't restore the balance, so they regret it, but because of Deng Haonan's sudden rise, they have hope again. ”

Huang Taiji understood what Fan Wencheng meant, and asked, "Are you saying that the Ming Imperial Court still wants to maintain this balance, or does it want to eliminate us?" "The former, of course!" Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "Otherwise, Yuan Chonghuan privately negotiated peace with us, can the Ming Imperial Court ignore it?" But it is Deng Haonan who wants to maintain a balance with us! ”

Dai Shan suddenly asked, "You make your words clearer!" ”

Fan Wencheng replied: "The cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks, Deng Haonan couldn't understand it better!" If he destroys us, he will even be king! However, once this happens, the enemy of the Ming Dynasty will become Deng Haonan, and we will be enemies or the entire Ming Dynasty, this abacus Deng Haonan himself calculated

Yao Taiji asked in surprise: "So that Hao Nan will not fight us to the death!" ”

Fan Wencheng nodded and said, "That's the case!" However, it is only three or five years that he will not have a decisive battle with us, and that Hao Nan is accumulating strength, and when the strength reaches the point that the entire Ming Dynasty and we cannot compete with him, he will take the initiative to have a showdown! ”

Dai Shan and the others finally understood, and it was really not easy for them to understand the illiterate guys.

"Then you talk about the war horse and the horse farm, does it have anything to do with the showdown time of Na Haonan?

Fan Wencheng smiled: "It's very simple! We have seen Deng Haonan's firearms and warships, and now he has established a large number of factories in Liaodong, Ryukyu and Taiwan, producing firearms and building warships in large quantities. ”

Everyone nodded, and Fan Wencheng continued: "But Deng Haonan needs a lot of manpower if he wants to develop and grow, and the population he controls overseas is obviously not able to meet the requirements. As a result, if he wants to grow further, he must put his roots on the mainland and gain more population

Huang Taiji said: "According to Deng Haonan's overseas expansion process, it seems that it has reached the limit, and if he expands again, it will touch the core interests of the Western powers Spain and the Netherlands

Fan Wencheng nodded and said, "What the Great Khan said is right! With Na Haonan's personality, he compromised with the Dutch. It is tantamount to showing weakness. Hearing that his major shipyards were working on the construction of larger warships, thus indicating that he was preparing for a large-scale war against the Netherlands and Spain.

And Deng Haonan's economic sources are all obtained by foreign trade, once there is a war with these two countries, then Haonan's finances will collapse. Therefore, this qiē shows that Deng Haonan's existing few broken islands are simply not enough to support his military expansion. ”

Huang Taiji suddenly realized, and then Fan Wencheng's words said: "So he compromised with the Dutch, first stabilized the Dutch, and then shifted the target to the mainland, using the mainland as the foundation, and then expanding externally in turn!" ”

Fan Wencheng nodded and said, "That's right! Deng Haonan's finances were strictly dependent on overseas trade. He has reached a dead end, and he must find another stable source of income before he can expand externally. Therefore, at present, Deng Haonan's main goal is to accumulate strength and prepare to win the artifact. ”

Huang Taiji nodded and said, "Ben Khan understands!" If Hao Nan wants to get a stable economic source, he has to win the artifact, and the winning artifact has to accumulate land power, that is, as you said, his current land strength is not enough to win the artifact, so he will be very honest in the past few years to accumulate strength. I won't meet us lightly

"He won't wait indefinitely!" Fan Wencheng said: "Land war is nothing more than infantry, cavalry and artillery, now Di Haonan's infantry and artillery are not difficult to solve, the only thing lacking is cavalry, so Weichen judged that once Deng Haonan's military horse farm reaches the time when it can supply 50,000 war horses a year, it will be his showdown."

Dai Shan said: "The annual supply of 50,000 war horses, according to Deng Haonan's financial resources, is three or four years fast, and seven or eight years is slow, which means that this balance can only be three or four years, or even shorter!" ”

Mang Gurtai asked, "But what does this have to do with our current situation?" Now that Deng Haonan is in control of North Korea, even if he doesn't take the initiative to attack us, then we will be trapped by him sooner or later! ”

Huang Taiji also asked worriedly: "Yes! Fan Wencheng, do you have any good solutions? ”

Fan Wencheng thought for a while and said, "If my prediction is correct, the Liaodong Army is only stationed on the Yalu River to prevent us from going east to Korea for the second time, and will not take the initiative to cross the river to attack us." Therefore, if the Great Khan wants to maintain balance, or surpass Deng Haonan, he must take the opportunity to conquer Mongolia as long as he has the Mongolian desert as a strategic column, he will have the capital to fight against Di Haonan. Otherwise, with our current situation of being attacked on three sides, it will be quite unfavorable! ”

Huang Taiji frowned and asked, "Do you mean to let Korea go alone and conquer Mongolia as much as possible?" ”

Fan Wencheng nodded, noncommittal.

At this time, Dolxiang asked: "But we need to open a market with North Korea, otherwise domestic prices will be in short supply, and the price of salt will skyrocket, so what's the use of getting Mongolia?" ”

Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "The Mongolian Desert stretches thousands of miles, and if we get Mongolia, not only will our Dajin Country strategy expand, but Deng Haonan will not be able to swallow us at once." At the same time, the nine towns of the Great Wall, the army was empty, and the rebellion in the Ming Dynasty was strict. We can not only take advantage of the opportunity of the opening of the market between the Mongolian ministries and the Ming Dynasty to transfer the goods we need, but also directly lead the troops to invade the customs and loot the supplies, so that Deng Haonan's blockade is useless. ”

Huang Taiji nodded and said, "That's a good idea!" ”

Dai Shan said at this time: "Lord Fan's words are certainly reasonable, but Deng Haonan has always been cunning, and it is hard to guarantee that he will not take the opportunity to disturb our rear!" Once so. Haven't we lost all the family business we have been operating in Shenyang in the past few years! ”

"It's easy!" Fan Wencheng said with a smile: "The Great Khan only needs to mobilize tens of thousands of troops, plus the firearms of the Han army flag, to make a posture of the Eastern Expedition to Korea. In this way, the Liaodong Army will guard the Yalu River and will not know our true intentions

Huang Taiji nodded and asked, "What do you Aiqing think?" ”

Dai Shan said: "At present, the Liaodong Army is heavily garrisoned on the east bank of the Yalu River, and even if we attack strongly, we will have to pay a great price. In particular, Na Haonan deployed a river defense fleet on the Yalu River, and we had to learn how to swim and fight in the water before we wanted to go over. In short, it is difficult for us to take advantage, and if we don't do it, we will suffer a big loss. ”

Then Dai Shan thought about it and said, "I agree with Lord Fan Wencheng's plan!" ”

Everyone saw that Dai Shan had lost his temper, and it was not easy to object.

"The ministers seconded it!"

Yan Taiji looked at Dai Shan gratefully, in terms of right and wrong, Dai Shan is still towards their family business.

"In that case! Then our plan to go west to Mongolia remains unchanged! Huang Taiji said: "It's just that we want to send people and horses to contain the Liaodong Army, who of you wants to go!" ”

Amin and Mang Gurtai came out and replied, "My brother is willing to go!" ”

Seeing the two of them coming out, Huang Taiji was a little worried, and Dai Shan said: "Let the Mongolian military banner stay!" This expedition to Mongolia is not good for hurting the feelings of Mongolian brothers! ”

Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng, who nodded, and then said: "Okay, Gurusi Shibu, Omubu Chuhuer, Geng Ge and Danjiao, the four of you will stay and lead the four banners of the Mongolian army to the west bank of the Yalu River to contain the Liaodong Army." ”

The four men of Gulus, Ombu, Chuhuer, Genger and Shan went out to receive the order.

Then Huang Taiji ordered the Han Army Banner to lead the Han Army Banner to assist, and at the same time brought the only twenty artillery pieces of the Han Army Banner and installed them in full shape.

After some arrangements, Huang Taiji began to march west to Mongolia. ,If you want to know what happened next,Please log in,More chapters,Support the author,Support genuine reading D
