Huang Taiji is really desperate this time.

The failure of two successive raids and plundering, as well as the occupation of Jinzhou and Fuzhou by the Zheng army, has made the Qing Dynasty generally feel the crisis, but also made the position of Huang Taiji shaken, this time Huang Taiji personally led the army to conquer Liaoxi, not only to occupy a large number of land, but also to hit the Ming court, for the future Qing Dynasty to dominate the Central Plains to lay a strong foundation.

The Eight Banners Army set off from Shenyang and arrived in Liaoxi, Huang Taiji did not adopt the suggestion of Dolgon, Duoduo and others to immediately start attacking the city of Jinzhou, and asked the Eight Banners Army to surround the two cities of Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and at the same time gradually conquer the military forts around the city, so that Jinzhou and Ningyuan were in a state of isolation and helplessness, until the Ming army was on high alert. Huang Taiji began to order the Han Eight Banners to attack the city of Jinzhou.

On the one hand, he asked Zu Zerun, the owner of the Han Eight Banners with Red Flags, to write a letter to Zu Dashou, the chief soldier of the Ming army guarding the city, to persuade him to surrender, and on the other hand, he ordered a small number of Han Eight Banner soldiers to attack Jinzhou City every day, but the scale of the attack was very small.

However, after Huang Taiji ordered the Eight Banners Army to start attacking the city of Jinzhou, he tightly blocked all communication between Jinzhou and the outside world.

Dolgon and Duoduo did not understand Huang Taiji's intentions very well at first, and it was not until the battle to attack Jinzhou City began, that the two suddenly realized that Huang Taiji had adopted the tactics of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, attracting a large number of Ming troops to come to the aid of Jinzhou City, and using the main force of the Eight Banners Army to encircle and suppress the Ming army that came to help, and its fundamental purpose was to exterminate the living force of the Ming army to the greatest extent.

Once the Ming army that rushed to the aid was completely defeated, then the Ming army stationed in Jinzhou City would definitely waver, and when the time came, Jinzhou and Ningyuan and other cities would be taken. Occupy almost the entire western part of Liaoning, and it is no problem.

If you are not convinced, Huang Taiji's arrangement this time is indeed far-reaching and well-deployed.

If the Eight Banners Army arrived in Liaoxi, it would launch a fierce attack on Jinzhou City or Ningyuan City. Must pay a huge price, and the Ming army will also defend the city, many years ago the Eight Banners Army attacked Jinzhou and Ningyuan lessons vividly, this time again to attack Liaoxi, Huang Taiji learned the lesson, using their own favorable conditions, to attract the Ming army to fight outside the city, heavy damage and defeat of the Ming army, fundamentally consume the strength of the Ming army. This is the best policy.

However, there is also one of the most critical points in this arrangement, that is, whether the Ming army will rush to the aid of Jinzhou City.

Of course, if the Ming army retreats in the city, it just doesn't come out to reinforce, then the Eight Banners Army can rest assured that it can boldly attack Jinzhou and Ningyuan and other cities, and break through each one. In the end, it successfully occupied most of the western part of Liaoning.

The Chinese military tent, Dolgon, Duoduo, Fan Wencheng and others are all here. They looked at Huang Taiji with serious faces, obviously thinking about something important.

There is a huge sand table in the middle, and the sand table impressively covers Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Songshan in western Liaoning, among which the position of Songshan is particularly highlighted.

Songshan is forty miles away from Jinzhou and more than eighty miles away from Ningyuan. It is between Jinzhou and Ningyuan, if the Ming army stationed in Ningyuan rushes to the aid of Jinzhou City, Songshan is a must-pass place.

Songshan also has a unique advantage, that is, the situation is vast, and the Ming army rushing to the aid of Jinzhou can rely on Songshan as a base. The fighting has an advantage, the Ming army can attack in one go, if it is rude, you can evacuate to Songshan to rest, of course, the premise of this is to control Songshan in your hands.

"I expect that the Ming army will definitely rush to the aid of Jinzhou, Wen Cheng, you can analyze the reason for everyone."

Fan Wencheng coughed softly and spoke word by word.

"The slave got the most important information from Duan Zongkui, and Emperor Chongzhen sent Chen Xinjia, the second assistant of the cabinet and the secretary of the military department, to rush to Liaoxi to supervise the war, which shows that the Ming court wants to end the war in Liaoxi as soon as possible."

The information that Fan Wencheng said surprised Dolgon, Duoduo and others, they have always looked down on the so-called intelligence methods used by Fan Wencheng, etc., but the information provided by Duan Zongkui this time is too important, it can be said that this information is related to the final layout of the Eight Banners Army and how to carry out the next move.

"The emperor decided to attack the city of Jinzhou, and Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao stationed in Ningyuan, must ask the chief soldier Zu Dashou to resolutely resist and will not easily reinforce him, but when Chen Xinjia comes to Liaoxi, everything will change."

"Slave analysis, the reason for this situation, the key is that the Ming court can not deal with the rebellion of the Liukou, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong two Liukou, respectively in the Ming Dynasty Henan, Shanxi, Huguang and Sichuan and other places raging, the Ming Dynasty can not be indifferent, if these places are completely chaotic, then the Central Plains will also fall into complete chaos, the consequences are unbearable for the Ming court."

"The Zheng army of the Ming Dynasty will not participate in this battle, Emperor Chongzhen has hated Zheng Xunrui, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and he can't wait to get rid of it quickly, in this case, Zheng Xunrui will naturally not participate in the battle, Li Zicheng captured Kaifeng Fucheng, and the Zheng family army has never participated in the battle, which proves this."

"Looking back, Emperor Chongzhen sent Chen Xinjia to Liaoxi to supervise the battle, I'm afraid he just wanted to end the battle in Liaoxi as soon as possible, so as to concentrate on dealing with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and stabilize the interior, Hong Chengchou has no ability to resist, even if he is unwilling to rush to the aid of Jinzhou City, he must send troops according to the above meaning." ……

Fan Wencheng's analysis, the head of the way, convinced Dolgon, Duoduo and others, they looked at Fan Wencheng as equals for the first time, it can be said that if the Great Qing Kingdom can win the battle in Liaoxi, Fan Wencheng has a huge credit.

After Fan Wencheng finished speaking, Dolgon, who had been thinking for a while, spoke.

"Lord Fan, doesn't Emperor Chongzhen know that he asked Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun for help at a critical moment."

The question raised by Dolgon is very critical, once the Zheng Jiajun is involved in the battle, the situation is likely to change dramatically, and the Zheng Jiajun stationed in Jinzhou and Fuzhou has always been the biggest heart disease of the Qing Dynasty.

Fan Wencheng looked at Huang Taiji and spoke again.

"What Prince Rui said is very reasonable, the slave sees it this way, maybe at the critical moment, Emperor Chongzhen will turn to Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun for help, but this also gives Zheng Xunrui a chance, Zheng Xunrui will definitely put forward a lot of requirements, including justifiably controlling more places, and these requirements Emperor Chongzhen and the Ming Dynasty are impossible to agree, so the two sides will form a stalemate, and when Emperor Chongzhen really realizes the seriousness of the problem and takes concession measures, my Qing Dynasty has already occupied Jinzhou and Ningyuan and other places, The conquest in western Liaoning was ended. ”

"Taking a step back, the emperor's decision is to consume the living force of the Ming court as much as possible, and the current situation is developing in this direction.

"No matter what, the emperor's arrangement is foolproof."

Dorgon nodded frequently, but Dorgon did not speak.

After Fan Wencheng finished speaking, Huang Taiji spoke.

"Wen Cheng's explanation, you have all heard, for a period of time, I have been thinking about whether to attack the city of Jinzhou with all my might, or to consume the living power of the Ming Dynasty to the greatest extent, after thinking about it repeatedly, I think that the living force of the Ming Dynasty should be weakened, and the number of cities and chassis occupied is secondary."

Having said this, Huang Taiji's thoughts and thoughts were basically revealed.

Next, Huang Taiji's expression became more serious.

"Fourteenth brother, send scouts to monitor the movements of Ning Yuan and Shanhaiguan Ming army day and night, be sure to accurately grasp their movements, this move is related to the deployment and planning of the battle in western Liaoning, fifteenth brother, the battle to attack Jinzhou City, we need to increase our efforts, from tomorrow, the attack will be more violent, don't think that Hong Chengchou is sleeping in Ningyuan, he will also send scouts to investigate."

"The siege of Ningyuan City, to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, the tactics I decided to adopt to besiege the city and send reinforcements, we must seize the opportunity, and the best place for decisive battles and battles is in Songshan."

"In this battle, there can't be any mistakes, whoever delays the fighter plane, I will kill whose head."

After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he hit the sand table hard, his action, so that Dolgon and Duoduo surprised, since ascending the throne, Huang Taiji's performance is gentle and elegant, never lost his temper, this is the expression of his true temperament.

Huang Taiji thought more, Zheng Jiajun occupied Fuzhou and Jinzhou and other places, always threatening Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou and other places, and even threatened Liaoyang, the Eight Banners Army won the victory of the battle in western Liaoning, which could lay the foundation for marching into the Central Plains, even if there was danger in Gaizhou and other places in the future, there would be places in western Liaoning as a buffer.

The Qing Dynasty and Huang Taiji have no way out, they can only move forward, to occupy the Central Plains, overthrow the Ming Dynasty as their own responsibility, to revitalize the Qing Dynasty for the purpose, in order to achieve this goal, Huang Taiji has made too many efforts.

Favorable and unfavorable conditions are in front of you, the favorable thing is that the Ming court is in a situation of internal and external difficulties, those civil and military ministers in the court, for their own interests, regardless of the imperial court, Emperor Chongzhen has no ability, he knows that he takes measures such as co-opting and suppressing to control the government, and the power of the Ming Dynasty is gradually stronger, so that the Ming court can not cope.

The unfavorable factor is Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun, in Huang Taiji's view, Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun have become the biggest threat to the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Xunrui is not an ordinary person, and will never be satisfied with just being the king and hegemonic in Nanzhili and other places, Zheng Xunrui's purpose should be to ascend to the throne and truly control the entire Ming Dynasty, including the Qing Dynasty.

Time is running out, Huang Taiji must seize every opportunity to strengthen the strength of the Great Qing Kingdom, and finally face off with Zheng Xunrui at the peak. (To be continued......)
