Chapter 4 The Emperor Taiji who predicts everything

Dolgon had already found out the news that Zhang Biwu had led his army to help, unlike others who only knew about it now. So Dorgon had time to think, and naturally he thought about it better than anyone else.

So Dolgon said: "If Zhang Biwu takes the waterway, he will definitely travel on the Liaodong Peninsula!" Although news keeps coming, Zhang Biwu's men and horses are still marching towards Shanhaiguan! If this is his strategy - secretly crossing Chen Cang, as the emperor said, there will definitely be changes in the Songjin war! ”

Dolgon pointed his hand at the map and said, "Although it is said that Zhang Biwu can reach Juehua Island, Songshan, Xingshan, and Tashan by water, and the road is close to Songjin!" But our ships are patrolling here, and not only that, but we have to set up batteries along the coast, as long as we find that the enemy is delusional to come to the rescue from the waterway, then the red-coated cannons can blow up all the ships of the Ming army! The Ming army did not dare to forcibly land on the coast in this area of Songshan! But the other one is different! ”

Dolgon pointed to the area of Changsheng Island and Shuangdao, and said, "We don't have many troops here, although there are more than 1,000 people stationed there, but there are not many forts. It is impossible to stop the enemy army, which is known for its bravery! If the coastline is too long, the defense line is destined to be too long, and it cannot be prevented. Zhang Biwu's landing here is inevitable! Then you can drive all the way to Fuzhou, Yongning, and Gaizhou to Liaoyang, Tokyo, which was moved as the capital by the original grandfather, Tokyo Liaoyang is lost, and Shengjing is shaking, and the whole country is shaking! Shengjing is close at hand! The soldiers of Wai Songjin will definitely lose their morale! At that time, the Ming army was given an opportunity! ”

The Qing army was the first to break through Shenyang, and then Liaoyang, which was more than twice the size of Shenyang City, and its population, economy, and wealth were much larger than Shenyang's. **The capital of Hachiding is Liaoyang, which is called Tokyo. Moreover, Hachi also operated in Liaoyang for four years, but in the end he moved the capital to Shenyang.

Because the legend saw a phoenix appear, so ** Hachi let people follow the phoenix, and finally the phoenix fell on the head of Shenyang City, so this thought that it was an auspicious omen from heaven and a providence, so it was decided to move the capital to Shenyang. It is also said that it is because Shenyang is a treasure land of feng shui, far better than Liaoyang.

In fact, Hachi considered that Shenyang has a good geographical location, is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is conducive to the cavalry shooting of the Eight Banners. In addition, unlike the Han people in Liaoyang, the Eight Banners constantly coped with the counterattacks of the Han people and moved the capital to Shenyang, which was conducive to alleviating the contradictions and building a base camp without any constraints.

Because Liaoyang is a big city in eastern Liaodong, it is also an important military town, even after the Manchu Qing Dynasty moved the capital to Shenyang, Liaoyang's status is also very important. The loss of Liaoyang was a huge blow to the Manchus, so what Dolgon said made the princes and Baylor constantly nod their heads yes, and a look of fear appeared on their faces. They don't want Liaoyang to fall!

Huang Taiji was very appreciative, and he loved and hated Dorgon, and said, "Yes! Prince Rui is right! Zhang Biwu can be said to be in danger! If he fails, then his fate will be worse than Hong Chengchou and the others! ”

Huang Taiji straightened his face: "In front of me, he has no chance of winning at all!" In my estimation, he will definitely follow Xiang Yu's example, after all, if he wants to leave the ship, he will have to send troops to garrison it, and his troops will be small, and if he divides them, his strength will be even thinner. Moreover, the retreat is not broken, and the soldiers will not fight to the death, this is the way to defeat! Only the only way out is to break the cauldron and sink the boat! ”

Huang Taiji pointed his finger to Gaizhou again and said: "We can't guard Fuzhou and Yongning!" Only Gaizhou can be guarded! Zhang Biwu was determined not to be able to break through Gaizhou. Even if Gaizhou is broken, as well as Yaozhou, Haizhou, etc., after he breaks these places, we will definitely be able to solve the Songjin war, so that the army will move to close the door and fight the dogs, and annihilate this stubborn army! ”

The princes and Baylor were all overjoyed, and they couldn't help but rejoice in the emperor's clever plan.

But Huang Taiji's face turned serious and said, "Don't be too happy, everyone! Zhang Biwu has another possibility, just like our Qing army went deep into the Ming Land, he will bypass the fortified city without attacking, so that he will march quickly. It's just one thing, his men and horses are not cavalry, even if they are deep, they lack mobility! ”

"After all, our Qing Dynasty is not a Ming Dynasty, cowardly, cowardly, allowing the enemy to gallop back and forth in the territory but dare not fight! If everyone in our Qing Dynasty rises up, it will be difficult for them to follow our example! ”

"And whether he attacks Liaoyang, or passes through Gaizhou, Yaozhou, and Haizhou to reach the land of Songjin, he will also fall into the predicament of being attacked by the enemy! Even if Zhang Biwu divides his troops into two parts, one to besiege Jiancheng as a suspicious soldier, and the other to advance quickly, then his troops are already very small! If he disperses his forces again, he will be even more incompetent! The division of troops is weak, and it is better to clean up, which is conducive to our various breakthroughs! ”

When he said this, the princes and Baylor rejoiced again. Huang Taiji also smiled and said, "His strange tricks have become a failure after being seen through by our army!" I think the best way for him to do this is to quickly return to Mingjing by boat after conquering Fuzhou and Yongning, so that he can still save his entire army! It's just his net worth! Hum! Zhang Biwu, if this is the case, Chongzhen will not let you go! How did you get through this? ”

No, a chorus of praise sounded: "Emperor Shengming! The emperor is wise! ”

Huang Taiji shouted: "Fei Yangguo! Fei Yangguo immediately came out, he saluted to the emperor Taiji, waiting for the will: "Your Majesty! ”

Huang Taiji looked at him and said, "Fei Yangguo, you immediately lead the troops to the Gaizhou area to defend it!" As long as you hold on for three months, even if you lose the place south of Tokyo, I will remember you a great achievement! Do you want to show me Zhang Biwu, do you know the way? See what he'll do! After all, the opponent can't be underestimated! ”

"Yes!" Fei Yangguo immediately clenched his fists, he was going to fight Zhang Biwu again, of course he knew that Huang Taiji sent him to better stumble Zhang Biwu and not let Zhang Biwu take a step forward.

Fei Yangguo didn't say a word, he rushed to Gaizhou quickly, and set off overnight. Huang Taiji was very satisfied with this, but he knew that Fei Yangguo's affection for Zhang Biwu had not weakened.

Huang Taiji said with a solemn face: "Everyone, listen to my orders, from today onwards, Zhang Biwu will lead the army to help, and the matter of attacking Liaoyang in Tokyo is not allowed to spread the news, if anyone spreads the news, he will be executed on the spot!" No light! It's top secret! Do you know the way? ”

Of course, the princes, Beile, and Beizi knew the seriousness of the matter, and they quickly told Huang Taiji that they all understood and would not let this matter leak out.

Huang Taiji then said, "Everyone, now let's go to Songshan Fort immediately!" I will personally supervise the battle in front of the battle! I'm going to risk the arrows myself! ”

"Ahh All the people were shocked, because they heard that Huang Taiji was physically unbearable because of Hai Lanzhu's death, and it was very uncomfortable, if he appeared at the forefront of the arrow, this would be a huge encouragement to the soldiers! It can also break the morale of the Ming army even more.

Huang Taiji appeared at the forefront with the prince, Baylor, and the ministers, and he sat in front of Songshan Castle, he looked arrogant.

As soon as the Qing soldiers heard that their emperor had appeared, they wanted to fight alongside them to win the victory. They couldn't help but be excited.

One of the generals shouted loudly: "The emperor will fight with all the soldiers!" to claim victory in this battle! Rejoice, everyone! ”

First of all, the person with the two yellow flags: "Good! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Qing Dynasty! Daqing Longteng! The Qing Dynasty will win! Then the other Qing soldiers of the Six Banners also shouted together.

The sound moves the entire Songshan and Xingshan. The Ming troops of Matsuyama and Xingshan were all holding their breath, they were watching, and everyone's faces were full of fear.

Hong Chengchou came out, he knew that it would be difficult for the imperial court to send reinforcements to save him, even if he could send them, but who could lead the troops without fear of death? Hong Chengchou knew that all the generals in the Ming army were thinking about themselves, and they were all cowards, and if they really let them fight against a strong enemy, they would definitely be defeated.

Hong Chengchou knew that the shells had run out now, otherwise, if he fired a cannon at the enemy chieftain, he would not say anything, at least it would deter the enemy!

And Cao Bianjiao hit it with his fist and said, "Damn! If I hadn't been injured or fallen off my horse when I had broken through the enemy chief's tent, I would have been able to catch the enemy chief! Once we capture the enemy chieftain, we can turn defeat into victory! ”

Hong Chengchou looked at Cao Bianjiao, couldn't help sighing, and said, "General, I don't blame you for this matter!" Lives! The enemy chieftain will not die! Alas! ”

Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong next to him, said, "Your Excellency, don't you think it's strange? The enemy chief's beloved concubine died, and I heard that the enemy chief was still immersed in grief and couldn't extricate himself, but now why did he suddenly come? ”

Hong Chengchou couldn't help pinching his beard when he heard this, and said, "That's right! What a strangeness! It stands to reason that the overall situation of the battle between Songshan and Jinzhou has been decided, so there is no need for the enemy chieftain to drag the sick body to supervise the battle? He's obviously in a hurry to break through my Matsuyama! As soon as Songshan is broken, Jinzhou will surrender without a fight! ”

Hong Chengchou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he blurted out: "Could it be that the imperial court has not given up on us!" The emperor is working hard to collect reinforcements! Right! It must be so! And this support army is very strong! Looking at the court, who can win more than defeat in the battle against the Tartars? ”

"Ahh Hong Chengchou's eyes widened and said, "Could it be Zhang Biwu who killed Yue Tuo and Ma Zhan?" When Cao Bianjiao heard this, he also said: "Yes! It could be him! Maybe the imperial court can't put together an army of 100,000, but tens of thousands of horses can still be given to him! He is a tiger general, and he personally led his troops to help! You'll be able to rescue us! Isn't it proof that the enemy chieftain himself has come to supervise the battle? ”
