Chapter 101: The Calm Before the Storm

This protracted war, which is destined to break out with a high possibility, is not an opportunity for Huang Taiji himself, and he also wants to reproduce the glory of the Battle of Salhu that year.

After all, in Huang Taiji's view, even if the Ming army can take advantage of firearms, as long as the strategy and tactics are used properly, he is also confident that he can reproduce the brilliant achievements of the year.

For Houjin to win thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, maybe it can also make the road to Daming smoother.

If he wins, Huang Taiji will undoubtedly be able to obtain an offensive path from Houjin to Jingshi in a very short period of time, which will weaken the war strength of the Ming Dynasty to a large extent.

But is this really going to happen?

However, Huang Taiji was thinking about how to take advantage of the opportunity to defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop, laying a certain foundation for the next plot against the Central Plains.

Therefore, Huang Taiji not only did not fear, but reduced the worry in his heart when he attacked Korea at the beginning, and the disappearance of this worry was a very illusory feeling.

When you can't judge the direction of something in your heart, you feel fear and anxiety about it, but if it is a problem that you may find difficult, you already know that it is destined to happen.

Then you won't feel impatient and anxious, because you know that this thing will happen no matter how you decide and how you affect it.

As Huang Taiji expected, the current Tianhu Army is full of troops, and the comprehensive and gradual deployment of new firearms has given Zhu Youzhen great confidence and encouragement.

So although he was a little surprised, he was more calm inside.

Huang Taiji also quickly made arrangements and deployments within the Later Jin, trying his best to delay the pace of the Ming army's attack, and at the same time actively mobilizing the Mongols to participate in this war.

For this reason, Huang Taiji once again exerted his natural skills of being good at painting cakes, and wantonly circled cakes for the Mongols.

What to build a capital for the Mongols..

What after this battle, there will be no more Ming in Liaodong..

Divide the land and divide it....

Anyway, there are no conditions that cannot be opened.

All the good things that could be said were finished by Huang Taiji, and the Mongolian envoy, who was like being poured with ecstasy soup, returned to his tribe and was on the grassland.

Such news is spreading in a wide and wide way.

More and more herders are picking out scimitars from their tents made of wool felt that have not been used for many years, and pulling out their horses from the stables that they have not ridden in many years.

Polishing the saddle that has accumulated a thick layer of dust, say goodbye to your family and go out with the tribe.

Trying to justify the Mongols in this war.

Huang Taiji's fake generosity is far more than that, he waved the land close to the Ming Dynasty to many Mongolian tribes, and for a time there were many small tribes moved.

Stupidly, he got on the thief ship of Huang Taiji.

"You can rest assured, my Hou Jin Great Khan Emperor Tai Chi Wenzhi martial arts are not far better than the little emperor of the Ming Kingdom, all the leaders only need to gather soldiers and horses, and follow me Hou Jin Eight Banner warriors to go along, this future Ming land is not all your Mongolians?"

The rhetoric of the Houjin envoy has to be said to be quite tempting, which makes many tribal leaders choose to follow Huang Taiji to Daming to "eat meat" in hesitation.

However, most of the tribes close to the Ming Dynasty who had deep trade contacts with the Ming Dynasty were still relatively sober, and the tribal leaders were only pretending to be polite to the envoys of the Later Jin.

The trade with the Ming Dynasty has inadvertently allowed them to live a good life that they did not dare to imagine before, and more and more Ming goods have appeared on the grassland.

What's more, they can keenly feel that this time the Ming Dynasty went out to clean up Houjin, and whether the partition of Liaodong in Huang Taiji's mouth can be achieved depends on the final result of the war.

Once they are on the wrong team, they cannot afford to lose.

"Now no one on the grassland knows that the Ming Kingdom has carried out unprecedented reforms, and the Ming Emperor has gathered nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, holding new firearms, if we use human flesh to shake the musket..."

"Chiefs, don't worry... Haven't you heard of this Ming man's firearms before? Before the battle began, you will suffer heavy casualties by blowing up your own chamber, and you all have the advantage of cavalry, and when the time comes, you only need to break through the formation, and there is no difference between the so-called firearms and burning sticks..."

In order to encourage more Mongolian tribes to send troops, Huang Taiji directly asked all the Houjin envoys to bring the map of Liaodong, and even more exaggerated to bring the map of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as they are willing to send troops, they can carve up a large area of Daming land after the victory of the war in the future according to the number of troops they send.

Almost in a short period of time.

Huang Taiji "borrowed" more than 20,000 Mongolian cavalry from the Mongols, drove to Liaodong, and was placed in the closest place to Guanning Pass, preparing to resist the first wave of attacks from the Ming Dynasty.

However, these Mongolian soldiers suddenly did not know that Huang Taiji was just using himself and regarded him as cannon fodder.

Many of these tribal leaders really followed Huang Taiji to dream of carving up Liaodong.

And in the Beijing Division.

Zhu Youzhen's side is also urgently carrying out the deployment and simulation of the war.

At this moment, Mao Wenlong's invitation to fight was sent to the dragon case almost at the same time.

Yes, Mao Wenlong can't wait.

The offensive edge of the Houjin army on the Korean battlefield made Mao Wenlong, who was just stuck in the neck of Houjin, deeply feel the truth of the cold lips and teeth.

So he couldn't wait for Zhu Youzhen to order the attack on Houjin, so he submitted an application to Zhu Youzhen early.

Zhu Youzhen opened the fold and saw that it was written: The minister observed the trend of the Houjin Tatar in Phi Island day and night, and found that he not only colluded with a large number of Mongolian tribes to try to garrison cities in Liaodong one by one, but also tried to quickly end the Korean War, if he could not capture Pyongyang for a long time...

The minister is worried that Huang Taiji will end this battle ahead of schedule and draw out his troops to meet my Ming Dynasty's Pingliao battle, so the minister wants to persuade His Majesty to send troops as soon as possible and take the initiative in his own hands.

Mao Wenlong couldn't wait, and things had already entered the final countdown.

Zhu Youzhen turned around and learned from Wang Chengen, and found that a large amount of military supplies and the Tianhu Army had actually reached Liaodong, and they already had the necessary conditions to go out of the customs and attack Houjin at any time.

As an encouragement to Mao Wenlong, Zhu Youzhen replied to Mao Wenlong: "The soldiers of Phi Island are all my Ming soldiers, when the war begins, the Tiger Army of the Great Tomorrow will also be interspersed in the direction of Lushun for the first time, but the large army will be as far away from North Korea as possible.. It will go straight to Huanglong and march in the direction of Shengjing in Houjin.."
