Chapter 1161: Jurchen Camp
The capital, outside the Bali Bridge, the Jurchen camp.
At this time, it had been two days since the Jurchen army besieged the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the Jurchens looked a little unhurried, as if there was no sign of attacking at all.
In fact, the Jurchens also understood that for this capital city of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for them to conquer it in a short time. And there is no way for them to entrench themselves under the city for too long, because this will bring a series of unpredictable changes to the Jurchens who have the advantage.
And the leader of this invasion, Huang Taiji, is in the camp.
"Your Majesty, we have been besieging the Ming Jingshi for two days, but why did you not order the army to attack the city?"
In the Jurchen camp, a group of Jurchen generals were deliberating, and one of them, a middle-aged man with a thin face, looked at the fat man sitting in the middle, dressed in bright yellow clothes, very puzzled.
Yes, that fat man is the current co-lord of the Jurchen people, Huang Taiji.
In another time and space, Huang Taiji is also a fat man.
But the film and television dramas of that time and space like to talk about Huang Taiji's description and interpretation are very handsome, but in fact, this is completely wrong.
And the Emperor Taiji of this time and space is the same as himself in another time and space.
Moreover, he, like Zhu Shangwu, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is a fat man.
This is, Huang Taiji is relatively old, and he looks like he is already thirty years old.
At that time, Zhu Shangwu will be much younger.
Huang Taiji's white and chubby face, a pair of squinted eyes looked a little narrow, making him look like he knew that this guy was definitely not the kind of stupid fat man, but a shrewd existence.
In the big tent, the cotton armor on the bodies of the Jurchen generals is far less sophisticated than that performed in those film and television dramas in another time and space.
In fact, the Jurchens were only in the later period. Only then did he have excellent armor.
In the early days and at this time, they were far from having the skills and strength to equip their armies with these armors.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone crazy to loot Daming.
To put it bluntly, they are too poor.
The crown prince sat there and looked around, and then slowly spoke: "Akdor asked well, why is it two days for our army to attack the Ming Dynasty Jingshi. I don't think it's just him, but even you have doubts about it. “
Huang Taiji's tone was very polite, which was different from what he imagined.
Anyway, this guy has now taken over Nurhachi's place. sat on the imperial seat of Houjin.
However, when facing a group of subordinates, why did he speak so politely.
In fact, it is not surprising at all, because there are very deep and complex reasons behind Huang Taiji's ascension.
The Manchu Eight Banners, he only controls two now, and he can't control all of them.
In order to stabilize the Houjin Kingdom, everyone did not give the Ming Kingdom a chance, so they reluctantly let Huang Taiji ascend the throne.
But. In many major matters, Huang Taiji does not have the power to make decisions. He had to consult with the other six banner lords before he could decide.
In such a situation, how could Huang Taiji be unkind.
If you annoy the six bannermen. Then your position is not stable.
Huang Taiji is not stupid, he knows that only by sitting in this position can he slowly solve this problem.
If he falls out of this position, then the end is probably not good.
So, ah. Huang Taiji adopted a strategy that seemed to outsiders to be very low-key and humble to confuse the big guys.
I have to say that this strategy is quite good.
At least. Now everyone is not very wary of him.
"Your Majesty, we have all worked hard to get here, and we see that this city full of wealth is right in front of us, but we can't eat it, this taste is very uncomfortable. The soldiers below have long had a problem with this. “
As soon as Huang Taiji spoke, someone immediately answered.
Huang Taiji looked in the direction where the sound came from, and then quickly withdrew his gaze.
It was Nurhachi's eldest son who spoke, and Dai Shan, who was also Huang Taiji's elder brother.
At this time, Dai Shan's face was full of mockery, and his eyes were also full of contempt.
Yes, it is the contempt for Huang Taiji.
For this kind of look, Huang Taiji has seen too much.
However, the fat man Huang Taiji, as if he didn't see it, actually showed a smile on his face.
"It turned out to be the eldest brother, I didn't expect that the military spirit below had floated."
Dai Shan pursed his lips: "Your Majesty, now our army is stationed here, and it costs a lot of money to eat and chew every day, but you don't let us attack the Jingshi, is it possible that we have been spending it here all the time?" “
After Nurhachi's death, Dai Shan was supposed to be the emperor.
However, because of complex factors, the entanglement of various interests, and Huang Taiji's actions, Dai Shan did not ascend the throne in the end, but the fat man Huang Taiji sat on it.
Therefore, Dai Shanxin has always been very dissatisfied with Huang Taiji in his heart.
However, the Eight Banners only controlled the Zhengbai Banner, and the other flag owners also had their own small abacus. And in order to stabilize the stability of the Jin Kingdom in the future, this dumb person lost the Zihong swallow into his stomach.
It is precisely because of this that Dai Shan will always find a little trouble for Huang Taiji from time to time.
As for Huang Taiji, in fact, he also hated Dai Shan's hatred to death, and he wished that Dai Shan would die immediately. But in front of everyone, Huang Taiji had to show humility, and only Huang Taiji himself knew how uncomfortable it was.
Now, Dai Shan looks like he's going to find fault again.
However, what Dai Shan said just now was not wrong at all, and people couldn't find the slightest fault.
This time they invaded the Ming Dynasty, and they gathered half of the soldiers and horses in the Houjin Kingdom, and also went deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty and came to the Jingshi.
The danger and hardship in this can be seen by anyone with eyes.
Earlier, the march of the army along the way was very smooth.
In the first battle of Yehuling, the elite of Liaodong was almost wiped out, and the guards in all parts of Liaodong were also closed. This gave them a great opportunity to enter the Jingshi side and loot more wealth.
But as time went by, and as the army deepened, they also felt a little uneasy.
Yes, after all, now they are too far away from the rear, and this belongs to the hinterland of the Ming army. Once the Ming army reacted, it would not be difficult to surround them.
Although they have 60,000 soldiers and horses here at the moment, compared to the Ming Dynasty, which has an army of one million, they are still far from enough.
A waste of time now is simply a waste of their lives.
Although it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to gather millions of troops in a short period of time, it is still possible to have hundreds of thousands and two hundred thousand.
It is very close to the border, and it is not difficult to mobilize border troops at all.
The interior of the Ming Dynasty was rotten, but the combat effectiveness of the border army was still okay.
At least, didn't the Liaodong Army fight with their Jurchens for decades?
Now there are actually two choices, or take the capital and loot it, and then return with a full load.
Otherwise, they will quickly get out of here and return to Houjin from Liaodong.
Anyway, they have already robbed a lot of good things by burning and looting along the way.
Even if they retreat now, their Jurchens will be worth it.
But the problem is that Huang Taiji doesn't know what Lu Dao thinks, and he actually spent two days in the Ming Dynasty under the Jingshi City in vain, which is really incomprehensible.
Could it be that this guy is a dumb trick?
Dai Shan thought secretly in his heart.
In fact, not only Dai Shan has such thoughts, but also the banner owners who went out with the army.
It's just that the big guys couldn't help but ask, but now Dai Shan asked.
Since Dai Shan is willing to come forward now, everyone is also happy to watch the excitement, and at the same time listen to what explanation Huang Taiji can give.
In the face of Dai Shan's questioning, Huang Taiji still kept smiling.
"Big brother, we haven't stayed here for nothing in the past two days. The reason why I wasted these two days is because I want to touch the hole cards of Da Ming. ”
Huang Taiji pretended to be 13 with a face of 'everything is under control', which made Dai Shan's heart quite unhappy.
"Oh, the emperor might as well talk about it, so that we people can feel at ease."
All the flag owners at the meeting nodded their heads in agreement.
Although they are willing to watch the excitement, this matter is related to the safety of themselves and the army, so it is impossible for them to continue to watch the excitement.
Seeing that everyone was revealing this meaning, Huang Taiji stopped playing tricks with his tone, and then explained it to the big guy.
After listening to Huang Taiji's explanation, Dai Shan fell silent.
At the same time, I snorted coldly in my heart: Hmph! Count you fat and smart, otherwise you will be embarrassed and thrown home this time!
In Huang Taiji's explanation, in the past two days, he kept receiving letters from officials of the Ming court, many of whom said that they wanted to negotiate peace or something.
And Huang Taiji also judged from this that Daming now seems to be powerful, but in fact, it is completely rotten inside.
These people didn't even have the courage to fight with themselves, which had to make Huang Taiji's heart have some ideas and ambitions.
Of course, Huang Taiji also understands that with the strength of Houjin now, he wants to kill the Ming Dynasty without objection to the foolish dream.
However, Huang Taiji believes that with the passage of time and the slow decay of the Ming Dynasty, such an opportunity will definitely come.
Therefore, in the past two days, he continued to send spies to infiltrate the city to contact those Ming officials, and it was precisely because of this relationship that he did not attack the city.
Of course, this is only one of the factors, and the main thing is that the high walls of Jingshi City are thick, which is not conducive to the siege of the Jurchen army at all...... (To be continued......)
