Chapter 111: The Trouble of the Heart

"Ma Guangyuan, the chief officer of the Blue Flag, played with the destiny of heaven, and only virtue is with ...... His Royal Highness the Emperor Gongwei is beautiful, wise, resolute, and benevolent, since the whole Liao came, and in one fell swoop and shocked Yanjing, and then moved to capture the ancestors, and the sweat was looking to conquer and go away, King Li knew the situation and sought peace, Dengzhou Kong Youde Li Jiucheng broke through the siege and took the risk to vote, if it was not the emperor of heaven's will, how could it be human. Today, I have a large gold and a whole Liao, only Denglai Chen's general army stole Jinzhou Lushun, Dongjiang Island Kou Xiao gathered on the island, and my army came out, ambushed Liaonan and Liaodong, disturbed my Dajin people, if the thorn is in the back. When the Central Plains was in full swing, the emperor was creating a foundation in the autumn, and for this two southerners were detained, and they were guarding a corner, and they missed the opportunity to win the championship, which is a pity. Among them, the city of Lushun in Jinzhou is deep in trenches, according to the narrow and concise rush, stealing that the general army of Denglai Chen is based on the Jin Brigade is really a problem in the heart, and the ministers ambush the emperor to make a large-scale expedition, and will remove it to determine the foundation of eternity. ”

In the Shenyang Dazheng Palace, a Han official knelt on the ground and said loudly, he is Ma Guangyuan, the general of the Ming army who surrendered in Yongping in the third year of Chongzhen, and now he is Wuzhen Chaoha's elite soldier Ezhen, Wuzhen Chaoha's Gushan Ezhen Tong died of illness, and a new chief military officer has not been appointed for the time being, and Ma Guangyuan is also one of the contenders. In the original history, Shi Tingzhu took over, but Shi Tingzhu was defeated by dozens of Ming troops in the First Battle of Fuzhou, losing the face of the Houjin army, and now he has been demoted to a guerrilla, and he is not even qualified to participate in the conference.

There were many people around the hall, in addition to the Eight Banners, there were also Bagu Mountain's Ezhen and ministers, as well as Mongolia's left and right wings Gushan who did not speak at the meeting. They thought about it and didn't come out to speak.

Huang Taiji scanned the hall, and in mid-May he received a tip from Dengzhou, and learned that Chen Xin had personally led the army to Henan, with about 5,000 men. Of course, Huang Taiji would not think that Chen Xin would be beaten to death by the exiles, and Liaodong was also in the agricultural slack period in June and July, so he thought it was a good opportunity. Uproot Golden State and Lushun.

He privately consulted with various Baylors and Gushan, and most of them were unwilling to go to southern Liaoning, and they all hoped to go to western Liaoning this year and harvest quickly. Therefore, Huang Taiji has not been able to make the trip, and it has only been until now that he has persuaded most of the flag owners, and today he put it forward at the political conference, so that everyone can reach a consensus, this Ma Guangyuan is just the gunman he is looking for.

The two stools beside Huang Taiji still haven't been taken away. Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai were still sitting side by side with him, Huang Taiji asked Dai Shan first, Dai Shan has not been in good health recently, and he said a little listlessly: "It's time to fight, that place in Jinzhou." Falling into the hands of that Chen novice, it was even more annoying than Mao Long, and he went back and forth to Fuzhou twice in three days to fight the autumn wind. However, if you want to fight Jinzhou Lushun, it is impossible to go with fewer people, and this grain and grass is indeed a problem. I went to suppress Fuzhou back then, and I killed no one alive for a hundred miles, and last year I restored some station forts. There are still not many people, and they were burned by Chen Xinyitong, and there was almost no grain harvest in Fuzhou, and not much was planted this year. As soon as our army goes, there is nowhere to rob it, and it will be like Da Ling River again. ”

The people below whispered, these banner owners and ministers actually have their own Niu Lu. They are all caught by the military and the government, so every time they fight, they have to calculate whether it is cost-effective or not.

Huang Taiji looked at the ground and said lightly: "That second brother means that he agrees to fight." Just worried about grain and grass, what does Three-Belle say? ”

Mang Gurtai coughed and cleared his throat, but stopped talking. In the past, when Huang Taiji first ascended the throne, he was called the fifth brother, and his attitude was very respectful, after last year's incident, the contradiction between the two surfaced, Mang Gurtai is now relatively low-key, trying not to give Huang Taiji braids, but when he can make Huang Taiji uncomfortable, he is not ambiguous.

He didn't speak until the entire hall looked up at her, and Mang Gurtai said expressionlessly: "The second brother said that he should fight, let's also say that this is the reason, whoever wants to say that he will not fight, then he will have to defend Fuzhou in the second half of the year." Last year, I and the fourteenth guarded Fuzhou, it can be said that I know the harm of Jinzhou, the Dengzhou soldiers are not as good as Guanning, and the field battle has not fallen behind, but the little fourteen have been beaten badly, if they are in the city, we have to go out of the country. However, our blue flag and the white flag of Xiao Fourteen were both beaten to the ground, and this soldier can't produce much. ”

Both of them are in favor of fighting, but one does not want to give food, the other does not want to send soldiers, and by the way, he also wants to pull a Dolgon, here is the Three Banners. Dolgon lowered his head below, unable to see his true thoughts for the time being, Huang Taiji was still calm, after all, there were more than thirty people here, not eight when the Eight Kings were in power.

Huang Taiji pointed to Yue Tuo's name and said: "Yue Tuobeile, you are the secretary of the military department, and you should be in charge of this military matter, what do you mean?" ”

Yue Tuo stood up and said, "Back to the Great Khan, the minions think it's time to attack Jinzhou. When Mao Long was in Dongjiang, I never dared to stay away for a long time, since Dongjiang Town was ruined, we could enter the customs or go on an expedition to Chahar. Since the great Linghe Chen Xin suddenly captured Jinzhou, he will not stop disturbing Fuzhou with light cavalry stragglers on weekdays, and when my army is far away, he will bully my soldiers with few soldiers, and come to Fuzhou with heavy troops, but Fuzhou must not be defended, if Fuzhou is abandoned, then the south of Gaizhou is the enemy, and then will it abandon Gaizhou? Now Fuzhou is not defending, and it is not abandoned, all because of the Dengzhou soldiers in Lushun, Jinzhou, according to the Fuzhou sentinel, its cavalry has exceeded 2,000, if it is not destroyed early, if the cavalry is getting stronger and stronger, how to deal with it at that time. I heard that the soldiers and horses of Dengzhou Town went to Henan to disrupt the people, and there must be not many soldiers in Denglai, which is a God-given opportunity, and it is a pity to abandon it. ”

The youngest Duoduo suddenly asked, "Yue Tobel, how about we also learn from the barbarians of Guan Ning and only stay in Fuzhou City?" They don't necessarily dare to bypass Fuzhou. ”

"You can keep it last time, and you can keep it every time?" Yue Tuo replied, "When the Dengzhou soldiers were waiting for us to attack Yanjing, they still used arquebuses and tiger squat cannons, and the cavalry was only one or two hundred. As soon as they attack Fuzhou, they don't know what they will come up with next time, and it is still unknown whether Fuzhou can defend it. ”

Duoduo frowned, then shook his head and said, "That's right, this barbarian is weird, but I really want to go and see it, and since everyone said to change it, then I also agree to go." ”

Zilharang said loudly: "The slave also agrees to go to Jinzhou, this guy Nikan takes my big money every time, and he comes up to take a bite, and now they are entrenched in Jinzhou, and they will pounce on it when they are empty, and there will be more cavalry in the future." Take a bite this year, take a bite next year, if everyone wants to hide, no one can hide after all, and in the end, he will damage my prestige. ”

Some of the young cadres below began to nod in agreement, and Huang Taiji also nodded again and again, as soon as these doglegs came out, they were not at all like the twilight of the two old Baylors, and the voice of the main battle prevailed.

Mang Gurtai stood up and pointed at Sakhalian and said, "Sakhalian." What should you do with the grain and grass that you are in charge of the household? ”

Sakhalian took a step forward, but he was facing Huang Taiji, and he waited until Huang Taiji nodded before he replied. "Back to the Great Khan, last year, Liaodong was flooded and drought, and the grain was indeed tighter, and now the sellers in the market need three taels and five dollars of silver for one stone, but it is much better than the most difficult years."

Mang Gurtai interrupted: "Don't talk about those, how much can the household take out?" ”

Saharan ignored him. Standing in the middle and not speaking, Mang Gurtai had a hot temper, and at this time he was furious, and he took two steps. was about to go over and beat Sakhalian, but Dai Shan suddenly coughed, and Mang Gurtai suddenly stopped and glared at Sakhalian fiercely. Turned back to his seat.

Mang Gurtai sat down and glared at his younger brother Derger below. Derger looked at the others cautiously, took half a step out and hesitated, and immediately retreated.

Huang Taiji noticed the movements of the Derge class, and asked lightly: "What is the opinion of the Derge class, it can be said, why do you cherish the words like gold and swallow them back." ”

Derge stammered: "Slave, the slave didn't think about it for a while, so he retreated again." ”

Huang Taiji said coldly: "If you don't think about it in the future, don't come out, for the sake of the generals, you should have a plan in your chest, otherwise how can you serve the public." ”

Mang Gurtai didn't want to discuss whether to go or not at this time, but to deliberately embarrass Huang Taiji, he saw that the Derge class was useless, so he asked Yue Tuo himself: "Dare to ask Yue Tuobeile, you said that there are four or five thousand soldiers in Dengzhou who went to Henan, how many soldiers are there in Dengzhou, and how many soldiers are there in Lushun Jinzhou?" How many soldiers are we going to go? ”

Yue Tuo respectfully said to Mang Gurtai: "Back to Sanbeile, there are 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers in Nikan in Dengzhou, but not every battalion leader is as capable of fighting as Lushun. There were about 2,000 people in Jinzhou, most of them cavalry, half of whom were horseback and foot soldiers, called dragoons, who intercepted the 14 Belle at the Fuzhou River crossing last year. Lushun has a battalion head, about 4,000 people, and 5,000 people. According to the news we inquired in Dengzhou, there are several battalion leaders in each battalion in Guandeng Prefecture whose uniforms are very different from those of other battalions, and their methods are also different. You should know that when Kong Youde was in Dengzhou, the camp was only 4,000, and in just one and a half years, it was already around 20,000, and it should be mentioned here that Chen Xin's mind is unpredictable, and he privately trained troops in various Tunbao in Denglai, and his number is incalculable, when it is between 20,000 and 30,000, the number of troops in southern Liaoning is not much at present, and if he is allowed to train in Jinzhou Tuntian, it will not be advisable in Jinzhou in less than two years. ”

There was a buzz in the venue, many of them only knew that Dengzhou Town could fight before, but it was the first time to hear the expansion rate of Dengzhou Town, in comparison, the growth rate of the Houjin army was far inferior to that of Dengzhou soldiers, and after being plotted by Dengzhou in the past two years, Zhenyi still had a downward trend. Many people began to put down their little Jiujiu and listen carefully to Yue Tuo.

Dai Shan frowned and asked, "Yue Tuo, you have this news to be accurate, he is a chief military officer in Chenxin District, where did he get so many silver taels to raise soldiers?" He looked at Ma Guangyuan again, "Mr. Ma, when you were in the Ming Kingdom before, did anyone dare to raise troops like this?" ”

Ma Guangyuan thought for a while, and shook his head, "According to what Yue Tobeile said, Chen Xinzheng has 20,000 soldiers, and ordinary soldiers can't afford to raise this number of soldiers, and the military salary he gets is only a battalion of the main barracks, and the servants are puzzled." Or perhaps, those who hit Fuzhou are all his family members? But that's a little too much. ”

After listening to this, Yue Tuo said to Dai Shan: "Amma, the news of Dengzhou comes from a reliable person, and has been verified by some smuggling ships, these things are not difficult to inquire about in Dengzhou, no matter where his money comes from, his number of soldiers is indeed so large. ”

Now even Mang Gurtai gasped, he didn't care about going to the emperor Taiji anymore, and asked Yue Tuo seriously: "In this case, the situation around Jinzhou and Lushun has been investigated clearly?" It's good to say that we can often go to the sentry horse, so what does Lushun look like now? ”

Yue Tuo shook his head and said: "Lushun is really a little difficult, Jinzhou and Nanguan have two Nikan defense lines, and the cavalry is more than 2,000, so we can't pass through the sentry horses." According to the smuggling vessels, no other vessels were allowed to enter Port Arthur except for military vessels. They only heard some scattered news in Dengzhou, it is said that those Nikan expanded the city of Arthur, and built a moat along the mountain, and there are many kinds of firearms, and the rest is not very clear. ”

After listening to Mang Gurtai, he remembered the men and horses he saw in Fuzhou, and suddenly felt a big headache, when he went to see the position of the landing ground of Niangniang Palace, which was only built in two days, he already felt that it was difficult to deal with, and now this group of men and horses hid in a position that had been prepared for a long time, and he didn't know how to fight.

There was a lot of discussion below, and Dolgon also shook his head lightly, he was hit the hardest by Dengzhou Town, and no one knew the combat strength of this army better than him, they just lined up in a battle formation, which made Dolgon have a feeling that it was difficult to shake, if a wall was added, it would be difficult for Dolgon to raise the courage to attack.

In the midst of a buzz, Huang Taiji slowly stood up, and everyone noticed it one after another, and immediately stopped talking, and all looked at this Houjin Khan quietly, waiting for his decision.
