Chapter 753: Huang Taiji's Choice
The successive defeats of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and Huang Taiji, who was also far away outside the Guan, raised the reconnaissance of the Tiger and Leopard Army to the strategic height of the Houjin State.
Therefore, the Haw Par Army's every move in Beijing City almost did not escape the eyes of Hou Jin Xizuo.
When Emperor Chongzhen received the news of the expansion of the Tiger and Leopard Army by 300,000, Huang Taiji, who was far away outside the pass, also received the news, and immediately found the military Fan Wencheng to discuss the huge impact that this news might have on the Houjin Kingdom......
"The 300,000 elite of the Haw Par Army, all armed with muskets and artillery...... Great Khan, are you sure that the content on the intelligence is true......." After reading the content of the intelligence, Fan Wencheng's first reaction was shock. Facing Huang Taiji, he asked rhetorically with an incredible face.
As a military advisor, the first thing to do is to give your master ideas and solve difficulties......
Therefore, after the Haw Par Army rose to become the number one enemy of the Houjin Army, Fan Wencheng made a very detailed study of the Haw Par Army.
It's okay not to study, but as soon as he researched, Fan Wencheng was shocked by the strong strength of the Haw Par Army.
Of all the studies on the Haw Par Army, what shocked Fan Wencheng the most was not the muskets and artillery equipped by the Haw Par Army, nor the food and salary of the Haw Par Army, which far exceeded that of the Houjin Army...... It's the huge consumption of the Haw Par Army every month......
10,000 tigers and leopards, one of the salaries of the light army, 1.5 million taels of silver every year. If you include the consumption of equipment and ammunition in ordinary training, it is two million taels. You must know that these two million taels of silver do not count the logistics supply of an army of 10,000 for a year......
Through Guò's meticulous reconnaissance and his own inference, a 10,000-strong Haw Par Army has all the consumption in a year. If converted into silver. That's three million taels of silver......
Ten thousand people will be three million taels of silver. 300,000 people don't ask for 90,000,000 taels of silver......
And with the current battle situation of the Tiger and Leopard Army, half of the Ming Dynasty can take out 90 million taels of silver every year to raise the army......
Therefore, after reading the information, just at a glance, Fan Wencheng had deep doubts about the content of the intelligence......
However, Huang Taiji is obviously convinced of the content of the intelligence......
As soon as Fan Wencheng's words fell, Huang Taiji opened his mouth and affirmed: "300,000 elite tigers and leopards. There are absolutely no problems...... This is the news that the warriors got from the Haw Par Army Staff Headquarters......"
When he first saw this information, Ben Khan didn't believe it either. However, after thinking carefully about the trajectory of the Haw Par Army, Ben Khan found that there was nothing that the Haw Par Army could not do......
In addition, the General Staff Headquarters of the Haw Par Army has issued an order to expand the army, and a large-scale selection of troops has been carried out within the northern provinces of Daming...... Therefore, Ben Khan believed that the content of this information must be true......"
Huang Taiji believed it. Then my next questioning becomes meaningless......
So. As soon as Huang Taiji finished speaking, Fan Wencheng's brows furrowed.
Facing Huang Taiji, he said with a solemn face: "Great Khan, tens of thousands of elites of the Tiger and Leopard Army, can beat me and the Jin Army has no strength to fight back." Once the 300,000 elites of the Haw Par Army are formed, the Haw Par Army can at least transfer 100,000 elites to launch an attack on our Houjin. When the time comes, no matter how much I struggle, I won't be able to get rid of the end of being wiped out by the Tiger and Leopard Army......"
"Therefore, the minion thinks that my Houjin must think of a specific way to break the situation before the expansion of the Tiger and Par Army is completed......"
Although military officer Fan Wencheng's analysis sounds very uncomfortable, he is telling the truth.
Therefore, Huang Taiji not only did not get angry because of this, but his face was full of solemnity, but also showed a very approving expression.
After taking a deep breath, he looked at Fan Wencheng and asked with a look of embarrassment: "Breaking the game is easy to say, but it is difficult to do......"
"Strategist, Ben Khan has seen that you have analyzed so thoroughly, do you already have a specific solution......
Fan Wencheng first shook his head, then nodded, and finally replied with an embarrassed face: "Great Khan, in the face of the strong military strength of the Tiger and Leopard Army, any conspiracy will be easily dismantled and become useless...... Therefore, in the face of the strong enemy of the Haw Par Army, the minions have no solution......"
Just when a look of disappointment quickly flashed on Huang Taiji's face, Fan Wencheng changed his words and continued: "However, the minion here has an idea after analyzing the situation, I don't know if it is feasible......
At this time, Huang Taiji seemed to suddenly grasp a life-saving straw in despair, and subconsciously asked......
"What's the idea...... Strategist, if your thoughts can solve Houjin's crisis...... Ben Khan decided that no matter how much everyone objected, Ben Khan would give you a prince with a different surname......"
Fan Wencheng, who has been a Jin slave for more than ten years, is very aware of the status and identity of the prince in the Houjin Kingdom.
Therefore, as soon as Huang Taiji's words were finished, a fine light flashed from Fan Wencheng's eyes.
Then, he analyzed to Fan Wencheng: "Great Khan, what the slave wants to say is that no matter whether the Tiger and Leopard Army expands or not, there is no way to shake him with the strength of my Houjin State alone...... Therefore, the slave thought that my Houjin State must take the initiative to abandon the grassland outside the Guanwai and retreat to the mountains at a critical moment...... When the time is ripe, I will go out of the mountain to counterattack......"
"As for the timing that the slave said, it is that one day in the future, there will be a bloody battle between the Tiger and Par Army and the imperial court......"
Hearing himself mention the imperial court in Nanjing, Huang Taiji's face flashed with a trace of disdain very obviously.
It is obvious that the Ming court has imprinted the adjectives of cowardice and incompetence in Huang Taiji's heart.
Faced with this situation, Fan Wencheng hurriedly explained: "Great Khan, don't underestimate the current Ming court. Since being driven to Nanjing, the imperial court has changed from what it used to be...... Not only is there silver, but more than 100,000 new troops have been trained...... "The minions just got a message here...... In the battle to capture the two provinces of Gansu and Ning, the total strength of the Haw Par Army lost in the hands of the new army of the imperial court, reaching more than 7,000 people in four regiments, which can be described as a heavy loss......
Because of this, the minions are sure that sooner or later, an unprecedented Armageddon will break out between the Haw Par Army and the imperial court...... And the opportunity for the re-emergence of the Jin Kingdom after me is in this decisive battle......"
Huang Taiji, who was still dignified just now, and his eyes were gloomy. At this moment, a pair of eyes shot out two rays of light directly.
Obviously, this Huang Taiji once again saw the hope of the post-Jin country from Fan Wencheng's analysis.
However, this hope did not last long on Huang Taiji's face, and it was replaced by gloom again.
Temporarily avoiding the edge, for the Houjin country at this moment, it is indeed the best way to avoid extinguishing the fire.
However, for Huang Taiji, the Great Khan, to avoid the edge for the time being, there must also be capital to avoid the edge for the time being...... And now I obviously don't have this capital...... (To be continued......)
