Chapter Ninety-Nine: Huang Taiji's Plan
If Li Kuiqi knew the outcome of the war, he would not have come to kill him.
He was captured alive.
The dignified sea lord was captured alive.
Heaven and earth conscience, I really don't want to rebel. I just want to put pressure on the imperial court, and it's best to give me a privateer card.
The news of Li Kuiqi's arrest spread throughout the pirate circle.
Everyone doesn't dare to act rashly.
Zheng Zhilong has the big tree of the imperial court behind him, which can be said to be windy and rainy.
Compared with Li Kuiqi, Liu Xiang is much smarter. No matter what path Zheng Zhilong has taken, he has obtained this privateer license, and he wants to take a trip. It doesn't matter if there is no way, there is no road in this world, and if you spend more money, won't you fix the road?
So he inquired in many ways, and cast his net widely, and took out a large amount of silver.
Finally, through a fellow villager with vast magical powers, he set up a big Buddha:
Wang Zunde, the governor of Liangguang.
When Liu Xiang said his intention with a lot of money, Wang Zunde was silent for a while and agreed.
"Zheng Zhilong wantonly plundered maritime merchants, I am afraid that he will become big alone, and the tail will not be lost."
Zhu Youzhen looked at the song and laughed.
That's the beauty of language.
Asking people to do things looks like thinking about people.
Sure enough, it's an old fritter in officialdom.
If you want a privateer license, you can.
Performers.
Those who do not have the courage and courage to do so do not deserve a privateer license.
Zhu Youzhen's attitude followed the edict all the way to Wang Zunde's table.
Wang Zunde didn't say a word, and sent someone to find Liu Xiang overnight. Spread the edict out in front of him.
You can do it yourself, my task is complete, and your money is not in vain.
Liu Xiang didn't say anything, and left Wang Zunde's mansion after giving a generous gift and thanking him repeatedly.
"Xianglao, shall we enter Beijing?" Liu Dadong, who spoke, Liu Xiang's fellow villagers, was vigorous, brave and resourceful, and won Liu Xiang's trust.
"Dadong, if you go, do you dare to accompany me into Beijing?" Liu Xiang smiled and asked Liu Dadong rhetorically.
"Dare!" Liu Dadong's answer was concise and affirmative.
"Haha!" Liu Xiang laughed and replied expectedly.
Then Liu Xiang fell silent, listening to the sound of the carriage moving forward, and fell into deep thought.
He was unwilling to defect to the imperial court, and his parents were killed by the Ming army.
This is also the reason why Zheng Zhilong accepted the appeasement of the imperial court, and he would rather break with him than submit to him.
But now he has reached a dilemma, his relationship with Zheng Zhilong has deteriorated, and Zheng Zhilong regards him as a big trouble. If you don't make changes, I'm afraid that the power you have worked so hard to build will fall apart.
He didn't worry about his life when he entered Beijing, and he expected that Wang Zunde's words also played a certain role. An emperor would not watch a seaman grow into a prince who sits on a sea area.
After going back to make arrangements, Liu Xiang set out on the road to Beijing the next morning.
As long as people live in this world, they have to face all kinds of problems.
Whether in a high position or as an ordinary person.
Huang Taiji has a problem now, a big problem.
By this time, the autumn harvest had arrived, and he found that they did not have enough food to eat.
He was once again angry at Nurhachi's policy towards the Han Chinese. If it weren't for the ruthless killing at the beginning, how could Liaodong become the current field. But what can be done about it?
Inside the Daisei Hall
"Second brother, how much grain do you still have in your banner?" Huang Taiji frowned and asked Dai Shan.
"I'm afraid it's going to last up to four months."
"We're three months."
"We're five months."
Although it was Daishan who asked, Mang Gurtai and Amin also spoke one after another.
Everyone's situation is similar.
It's been four or five months, and it's just spring. Could it be that a large number of people will starve to death like the year before?
"Go to North Korea to borrow some food?" Amin said. He had fought North Korea, and he knew it well. What's more, he still has some ideas of his own.
"I can't go, I will definitely encounter extremely fierce resistance when I go again this time! If the losses are heavy, it will not be able to be drawn. Huang Taiji vetoed Amin's proposal.
"What then? You can't go back to Nanming. The Ningjin defense line is the same as a hedgehog, and we can't fight at all. Amin's tone became a little unceremoniously. What a bullshit life these two years.
You can't win a war, and you don't have enough food to eat.
It's so embarrassing.
"I'm going to go, you're going! I'm not going. Manggultai muttered.
Only Dai Shan did not speak.
Huang Taiji sighed silently in his heart, and his prestige was hit hard by repeated defeats. His great sweat is getting more and more uncomfortable. As for the right to eliminate a few big Baylors, he can't even think of it now. Now some people outside have begun to talk about him forcing Abahai to death in the first place.
"I have a solution, my brothers can listen to it." After a pause, Huang Taiji continued. "The Ming people's Ningjin defense line is strong, and it is difficult for us to overcome, not to mention that even if we defeat Ningjin, we will not be able to grab anything, not to mention Shanhaiguan. It's better to bypass this place and enter from somewhere else. It is impossible to have such a strong defense anywhere else. ”
"Oh? Where? "Dai Shan and a few people are interested.
Their thinking has entered a misunderstanding, that is, they feel that they must lay down the Shanhaiguan Pass in order to enter the customs. But right now, Huang Taiji's words made them suddenly brightened.
Huang Taiji took out the map, spread it out on the table, pointed to a place and said aloud.
"This!"
Several people gathered around and looked in the direction of Huang Taiji's finger.
Longjing Pass?
"We can send a small number of soldiers to attack the Ningjin defense line, and the large army will bypass Ningjin, and then the troops will be divided into three routes, directly raiding Longjing Pass, Hongshankou, and Da'ankou, and joining forces after entering the pass. Capture Zunhua and go straight to the Beijing Division! ”
"Good!" Mang Gurtai gave a high-five of excitement!
This wave of excitement!
He loves it!
Dai Shan was more steady, and after listening to it, he didn't rush to praise, but thought about it for a while.
"Right now, Hudun Rabbit is entrenched in this area, will it hinder our entry into the customs?"
"Second brother! Just like a tiger and a rabbit, dare to fight with us? I'm afraid that when they see us coming, they will run far away. Mang Gurtai shouted disdainfully.
Amin also nodded in agreement:
"Hudun Rabbit's subordinates have been beaten by us, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
Dai Shan nodded and looked at Huang Taiji.
In the end, it was up to him to make up his mind.
"This battle is very risky, but we have no choice, if we don't fight, our people will not survive this winter. When the time comes, the territory of the Ming people is tantamount to a flat river for me, not only can I grab money and food, but also sweep away the decadence of the first two defeats. When the time comes, we will take the Ming people out of the customs and farm for us. It's a lot of money! Huang Taiji came directly to an impassioned speech, drawing the cake round.
When several people heard this, they also fell into the fantasy of galloping horses and killing people and setting fire in the Guannai.
But there were some things that Huang Taiji didn't say.
This is a battle of national fortunes, and if he wins this battle, his queen will get a respite.
If it fails......
No, this battle can only be won!
"Three brothers, this time we must work together to kill him upside down!" Huangtai auspicious sound like a bell!
"Good!"
