Chapter 1051 What to Do?
The Qing Dynasty is far from the point of collapse, and the Ming Dynasty is far from being able to dominate the world, but the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen used his superb political skills to make this qiē look like the Ming Dynasty has recovered to the once invincible national strength.
"Can't surrender, the Ming Dynasty is just a temporary rebound, their country is still chaotic, and there are countless anti-people who have not been resettled, after so many years of chaos, it doesn't mean that stable dìng can stabilize dìng!" A banner lord of the Eight Banners, the prince, expressed his opinion.
Everyone agreed with this point of view, and Zierharang's expression relaxed slightly, "Yes, as long as we can still unite as one, we don't have to be afraid of the Ming Dynasty, they don't have the strength to fight Shengjing for the time being, and we don't have to touch the edge of the Ming Dynasty when its troops are in its prime." As long as the emperor can do his best, there are variables. ”
Everyone was silent for a while, and they all remembered the terrifying scene of Emperor Taiji holding Fan Wencheng's head that day, and they all turned into that nervous appearance, can they still recover?
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is actually very concerned about what Huang Taiji is like now, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has no intention of hoping that Huang Taiji will go crazy like this, although he stands in the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, he hopes that a political genius like Huang Taiji can fall, but as an opponent for a lifetime, he doesn't want Huang Taiji to die like this, and it is very decadent to feel like no opponent.
"No matter which direction Jiannu will go in the future, temporarily stop military confrontation, focus on consolidating the battlefield in Liaodong, leave 100,000 troops to hold Liaoyang City, and the rest of the army will be deployed on the front line of Jinzhou." Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen had no intention of continuing to march.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's holy decree made all the ministers present breathe a sigh of relief. They are really afraid that the emperor will go up again after waiting. It is necessary to take Shenyang in one go.
"Hong Chengchou has a different view." Hong Chengchou was not afraid at all at this time. After following the emperor for a while, although his awe of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen increased a lot, he saw that Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was a holy monarch, as long as what he said was reasonable, the emperor would adopt his opinion.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "You say." ”
At this time, Weichen thinks that it should be a blow. Don't give Jiannu a chance to breathe, Huang Taiji's life and death are unknown, this is an excellent opportunity, as long as the army is ready to attack Shenyang, the Eight Banners must revolve around the north to flee and hold on to Shenyang, these two completely different opinions have a dispute, at that time, the Ming can save the military expenses of more than 200,000 soldiers, and can recover the north in one fell swoop. Hong Chengchou did not stand, but knelt down to reply to the emperor's words.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen frowned slightly. Soldiers and horses, did not answer immediately.
The generals and ministers are all like arrows. I only hoped that this Liaoshen Battle could come to an end temporarily, but I didn't expect Hong Chengchou to make waves again.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen considered it more comprehensively, and after groaning, he said softly, "Can you tell me more about your reasons?" ”
Hong Chengchou nodded, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, one drum, and then three and three exhausted, the army hit this part, and it was not discouraged, but when the morale of my Ming army was unprecedentedly high, the minister led the troops for many years, and I have never seen the Ming army be able to break through the soldiers of Liaoyang City so combatively, this is one, and second, although Jiannu has more than 100,000 elite iron cavalry, but there is no commander to lead, seize this opportunity, forcibly force the division of Jiannu is a good opportunity, the minister guessed, The Ming army was pressing on Shenyang City at this time, which would definitely make the Jiannu army fall apart. Third, although our army's ammunition is not good, but the main force still exists, the division of troops will only reduce the victory of the occupation of Liaoyang City to a low point, 200,000 troops form a joint force, close to Shenyang City, then Jiannu does not dare to send cavalry to disturb the city of our Ming army, if the division of troops, our Ming army's temporary advantage over Jiannu will be gone. ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "The three points you said are good, but have you ever considered that the army has been fighting for days and is already tired at this time, and the Jiannu army in Shenyang has not contributed to it, so you can't help but take it into account, right?" What if the Jiannu army fights my Imperial Forest Army in a decisive battle? ”
Hong Chengchou smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, what the minister said is his own opinion, the minister believes that Jiannu's withdrawal from Shenyang City and sticking to Shenyang City is a matter of five or five years, to decide, of course, it depends on the emperor, the minister dares to take the head to vouch, this is the best time for the Ming Dynasty to slaughter Jiannu, if it takes three or five years, Jiannu must move north, in Mongolia or across Siberia, when the time comes, if you want to slaughter the main force of Jiannu, I am afraid it will be difficult." ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen stopped talking, he has been thinking about this question, if Hong Chengchou does not propose to continue to march into the army, he is ready to stick to it first, but there are too many variables, and now it has returned to the topic of whether the outside must be safe first, or the inside must be safe outside.
The ministers were silent, and Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, "You calm down first, let me think about it for a day." ”
Hong Chengchou silently kowtowed to the emperor and stood up, in fact, Hong Chengchou himself was not very sure, he was not completely out of public intentions, but he just thought that at this time he proposed to continue to march into the army, which was a godsend.
After the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen dismissed the meeting, he immediately sent a telegram to inform Zheng Yuelin of his current situation, and the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen wanted to discuss with his first think tank.
Zheng Yuelin also made a difficulty, this is indeed a dilemma, even if she is as smart as Zheng Yuelin, she can't tell whether to continue to enter the army or temporarily hold on, which is beneficial to Daming.
Even after taking Liaoyang City and killing Dolgon and Haoge, the two most likely candidates to become the heirs of Huang Taiji, the Ming Dynasty's war against Jiannu is still very unclear, Zheng Yuelin honestly said that he couldn't judge, and Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen didn't have any way.
After thinking hard all night, Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of Chongzhen, decided that the army would enter Shenyang City, not give Jiannu a chance to breathe, sit and watch the changes, and leave Hong Chengchou to coordinate the overall situation, and he returned to Tianjin City first. At present, the crux of war is no longer a head-to-head confrontation, but a contest of national strength.
Da Ming and Jiannu are like two giants who are about to be exhausted, although Da Ming is bigger, but also more fat, although Jiannu is short, but more lean.
The military supply of the Ming Dynasty has reached the maximum limit, and what Emperor Zhu Youzhen of Chongzhen has to do now is to let the original strategic supply quickly keep up, and use 200,000 people to fight the more than 100,000 elite iron cavalry of Jiannu, and press Jiannu in Shenyang City, unable to make the next decision
