"Ahem, let's all go down, it doesn't matter to me. "www.biquge.info Huang Taiji held back his cough, waved his hand to rebuke the concubines such as Zhezhe and Bumu Butai, who were waiting on the side, compared with the high spirits when he broke through and occupied Zunhua, Huang Taiji at this time was obviously much more depressed, and even his body, which had been obese, gradually lost weight.

The previous two defeats in Zunhua and in Liaodong brought him a huge blow, if it weren't for the death of Mang Gurtai, Zilharang, Duoduo and other banner lords who held real power, maybe his position as Great Khan would be at risk of being lost, but even if he barely kept this position, the future of the Jurchens was still bleak.

First of all, almost all the Mongol tribes were cut off from them, except for the Horqin tribe, which had been firmly tied to the Jurchens, almost all the Mongol tribes were reattached to Lin Dan Khan, and they had even begun to attack the Jurchen territory continuously, although their attacks were repelled by the Jurchens, but this also added a lot of trouble to them; The former friendly army has become the opponent of today, and Huang Taiji feels a headache.

Not only the Mongols, but even the always timid Koreans began to move on the banks of the Yalu River, they were in fear of the Ming Dynasty and the mind of robbery, and continued to increase their forces on the border, saying that many of Huang Tianji's current territory were their territory; For these people, Huang Taiji didn't even know what to say, not to mention that their weak forces were not the opponents of the Jurchens at all, even if they were completely defeated by the Ming Dynasty in the future, would the Ming Kingdom allow them to occupy their Liaodong homeland? They will definitely pay a huge price for today's recklessness, the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not a few good words can be perfunctory, when he thinks of the tragic fate that the Koreans may encounter, Huang Taiji's mood is inexplicably much better.

However, neither the Mongols nor the Koreans can become Huang Taiji's henchmen, and now another crisis is spreading in his territory, that is, the problem of food, the Jurchens were originally fishing and hunting people, and they were not good at farming, and in the past, they were generally grateful to the Han people who had taken captive to farm the land, and the Jurchens were responsible for fighting in battle, but the previous plan to invade the Ming Dynasty and plunder the clothes fell through, and they failed miserably, so there were so many people who farmed for them? In addition, in the previous two defeats, too many young people have been lost, and there is a lot less labor to farm, and in recent years, Liaodong has become colder and colder, and the land output has become increasingly scarce, and the output of Liaodong alone can no longer support the people of the Eight Banners.

If in the past, they could still get food through the Jin merchants or even from the Guanning army, but now that the eight Jin merchants have been uprooted by the Ming Emperor, the heads of Wang Dengku and others are still placed outside Zhangjiakou to warn those merchants that no one dares to take the risk of raiding their homes and exterminating their families to transport food to them; And the Guanning army has long been recovered by the Ming Emperor, Zu Dashou and others were beheaded for public display, and their cronies and families were also exiled to distant exiles, Huang Taiji could only send soldiers to North Korea to plunder, but North Korea is also a poor clanging country, and the little food that was robbed was just a drop in the bucket.

As for the southward raid, it is even more impossible, now the Mongols will definitely not let them pass through their own territory, and Lu Xiangsheng, who is stationed in Ningyuan and Jinzhou, they can't beat them, Lu Xiangsheng can't attack them, Huang Taiji is already very happy, how dare Huang Taiji take the initiative to provoke them? If you can't hold it firmly, you are waiting for death, but if you take the initiative to attack, you are looking for death.

The consequence of the lack of food was that countless heroic Jurchen soldiers did not die at the hands of the enemy, but died of starvation. Now the number of Dingkou of the Eight Banners is not even half compared to the heyday, and if this continues, the Jurchens are afraid that they will really perish, even if Huang Taiji is unwilling in his heart, but in the face of the current situation, he is at a loss, and there is no way.

Maybe I'm afraid that it will be after the death of this Ming Emperor that the Jurchens may rise again? But now that the Ming Emperor is so young, and he has a good martial arts, Huang Taiji secretly thinks, I'm afraid that even if he dies, he may not be able to wait for that day, right?

"Great Khan, news has come from the capital, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has summoned Lu Xiangsheng, Chen Jisheng, Man Gui and others to enter Beijing, and has reorganized his troops and horses to prepare to attack Shengjing in the north!" These headaches have not been solved, and Dai Shan hurried to deliver another bad news.

"What!" Huang Taiji immediately stood up, this news shook him like a thunderbolt from the sky, with the strength of the Jurchens now, where can he stop the army of the Ming Dynasty, he hurriedly asked, "But the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is personally driving?" How many people are there this time? When to make the move? ”

"This time, the Ming Emperor did not go out of Beijing, but Lu Xiangsheng served as the commander, Man Gui was the deputy, Chen Jisheng, Cao Wenzhao and others were administered, and the army was commanded in total... A total of 100,000, now that they have sworn to leave Beijing, the army is rushing to Ningyuan. "Daishan Khan is like rain, even if the Ming Emperor did not drive the imperial expedition, then Lu Xiangsheng, Man Gui, Chen Jisheng and Cao Wenzhao and others are not easy to get along, last time in the Liaodong War, they have had enough of Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao's suffering, Man Gui and Chen Jisheng did not cause them less trouble when their strength was weak before, and this time with an army of 100,000, I am afraid it is even more powerful.

"It seems that this Shengjing City can't be defended." Huang Taiji collapsed weakly on the chair, and now he may not be able to find 100,000 armor ding after searching the entire Eight Banners, what will he use to confront Lu Xiangsheng? Lu Xiangsheng is not the mediocre and incompetent Ming generals in the past, and now these 100,000 soldiers and horses are not the weak Ming army in the past, "What else is the news?" ”

"Jingzhong's fine work can only inquire about so much." Dai Shan shook his head helplessly, since the rise of Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing, the search and arrest of the fine work in Beijing has become more and more strict, and the little people they hid in the capital have been almost cleaned up, and it is already their limit to be able to inquire about this news.

"Great Khan, how should I deal with it at this time? I have to make a decision early. Seeing that Huang Taiji was stunned for a long time and didn't speak, Dai Shan anxiously urged.

What else can I do? Huang Taiji was at a loss, it was still smooth sailing a few years ago, how could he fall into a desperate situation so quickly? He forced himself to calm down, and then slowly spoke, "Big Belle, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold Shengjing this time, so let's pack up and prepare to go north!" I don't believe that those Han people can chase between the white mountains and black waters. ”
