Chapter 82: Houjin's Plan
There are ten bright money rat tails in the room, you look at me, I look at you, and my eyes are full of ambition and desire.
Nurhachi said to Anfeiyangu: "Shuowen Korobaturu, please introduce the latest situation in the Ming Kingdom."
"Two emperors have died in succession in the Ming Kingdom, and now a fifteen-year-old doll reigns, assisted by a group of radical scholars. They removed the bear barbarian and replaced it with Yuan Yingtai. ”
"Yuan Yingtai?! Hahahaha! It's just a scholar who hasn't fought before~" Sanbeile Mang Gurtai was overjoyed, with a greedy smile on his face.
Nurhachi signaled Mang Gurtai to be calm: "Don't underestimate the enemy, do you still remember the matter of Lu Xun's scholar worshipping the general in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" Nurhachi.
"Yes." The Houjin generals liked to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms very much, and these Baylors and auxiliary ministers read it dozens of times, and as soon as the Great Khan reminded them, they quickly put away their contempt.
Fei Yingdong, the head of the five ministers, introduced: "The emperor of the Ming Kingdom sent millions of taels of silver in one go, and Yuan Yingtai planned to change the cunning strategy of the Xiong barbarians and send a large army to attack us."
"What about the soldiers and horses? Are there any new soldiers and horses out of the customs? Dai Shan asked.
"Back to Da Baylor, it is still the Nine Sides and the Southern Army drawn by Xiong Manzi, but this time it is out of Shanhaiguan, and it can be regarded as assembled in place."
Everyone present had a number in their hearts, and estimated that the Ming army's combat strength would not be stronger than the Liao army in Fushun Pass, Juniper's Jizhen and the trilateral army, and Liu Ling's Sichuan army.
Fei Yingdong and Eyi both introduced the current famine in Liaodong: at present, the Jurchens in Jianzhou and the Mongol tribes are suffering from famine, and a large number of refugees are pouring into Liaoyang and Shenyang. Xiong Tingbi was strict and refused to allow refugees to enter the area controlled by the Ming army, and now Yuan Yingtai took office, directly changed his strategy, collected refugees on a large scale, and expanded the army by tens of thousands......
Huang Taiji, who had not spoken, smiled after hearing this.
Acute Zimang Gurtai saw it and asked, "Why is the fourth child laughing?"
"Yuan Yingtai collected Mongolian refugees, but he didn't know that the grassland has always respected the strong, our army is strong and the army is weak, as long as the news of the defeat comes out, most of the Mongolian refugees are willing to be the vanguard of our army."
Huang Taiji was confident, and his expression looked very confident.
Amin questioned: "I heard that this Yuan Yingtai is deeply popular with the people, don't think too simple about Sibeile."
It seems that he had long thought that someone would question it like this, and Huang Taiji said eloquently:
"Yuan Yingtai is a famous Confucian scholar, he leads by example, benevolence, righteousness and morality. For example, as long as the generals are not seriously wrong, they will be treated leniently, they will care about the clothing, food, shelter and transportation of the soldiers, and absorb Mongolian refugees to relieve the sad and poor, but they will win the hearts of the army and accumulate abundant logistics. These are aspects that we should be vigilant and careful about.
In the face of such an opponent, if this person stands firm and fights steadily, our army will not be able to fight well, and second, it will not be able to pull the Liao people to our side. Therefore, it is necessary to gather forces with the momentum of thunder to break through its army in one fell swoop, so that the neutrals can clearly see how weak benevolence and righteousness are in the face of the strength of our army. ”
Among the people present, Amin was not very optimistic about Huang Taiji's suggestion. Mang Gurtai basically didn't understand too much, and the five auxiliary ministers didn't speak for the time being.
However, Nurhachi and Daishan had a glint in their eyes, and they heard from Huang Taiji's words that they had to send troops.
Dai Shan said: "It's been almost a year since the last big victory, and now we are also suffering from famine in various places, and if we don't go out to rob it, we will sit on the mountain."
Huang Taiji replied with a tacit understanding: "That's right, after Salhu, more than 80,000 sets of armor were captured, all of them had heavy armor, and there were two sets of heavy armor for one dead soldier. Weapons are even more abundant, even women and children have a handful, only food has not been replenished since Tieling. ”
Fei Yingdong added: "Our army is fully armoured, the main force of the Ming army has been folded to Fushun Pass and Salhu, this time it is the last remaining main force, defeat them, no Ming army can stop us."
"That's right, our army can't rest longer, after a long rest, they have to go to the plough by themselves, can they still fight when they go to plow the land!?"
Everyone knew that the Great Khan had taken a stand.
Mang Gurtai saw his father's attitude, and hurriedly said: "Now is the time for the farmers of the Ming Kingdom to harvest, and when they finish harvesting, it will be time for us to grab, so that we don't need our elite soldiers to cultivate by themselves!"
Among the five ministers, Anferyangu, who was subordinate to the blue flag, also said: "That's right! The peasants are weak and humble, the grain is in their hands, and in the end it is not to be exploited by those dog officials of the Ming Kingdom, we will not take it, and in the end we will not feed the Ming dogs! ”
"Wait." Huang Taiji, who was halfway through his words just now, interrupted Mang Gurtai and An Feiyanggu, who were gaining momentum.
"Since ancient times, the grasslands have been going south in late autumn to rob farmers of their food, and we know that the Ming Kingdom also knows it. At present, Yuan Yingtai has just taken office, and Xiong Tingbi, a barbarian, is still there, and I am afraid that he is still waiting for him this autumn. ”
He glanced at everyone, and after satisfying everyone's appetite, he said: "If Yuan Yingtai wants to take the initiative to attack, he can first show weakness to the other, let them misjudge the situation, and then destroy his army in one fell swoop and completely occupy Shenyang and Liaoyang."
"Good, good, good!" Wild boar skin said three good in a row.
He stood up and raised his head proudly to look south, and after a moment of silence, he said: "In the first battle of Fushun Pass, Ben Khan lured the enemy deep and destroyed the elite of the Liao army in one fell swoop. There are many menacing armies of the Sarhu Ming army, Ben Khan broke his three-way army in four days, Juniper and Liu Wei ambushed and executed, and captured as many as 100,000 armor and blades.
The two styles of play are not the same, but they are both defense-oriented. This time, the main force of the Ming army is coming again...... Our army is no longer the same, and it already has the strength to take the initiative to attack the main force of the Ming army and wipe them out! ”
"Long live the Great Khan!" And all the people bowed down.
"Adopt the proposal of Sibeiler, show weakness to the other in this autumn, and attack in the early spring of next year, level the Ming army, and capture Liaoshen!"
"Long live the Great Khan! Kim Kook wins! ”
Houjin had made a war plan at the end of September, and for now it is temporarily weak, and in a few months it will suddenly attack with the whole army.
……
Wang Hongyu clearly remembered that the bloody battle of the Hunhe River took place in March 1621, that is, five months later.
The bloody battle of the Hunhe River was a sudden attack by the Houjin, suppressing Fengji Fort, and taking the city of Shenyang, as the main force supporting Shenyang, the southern army broke out in an encounter with the main force of the Houjin Eight Banners on the side of the Hunhe River.
Calculating the time, Houjin will attack at the end of February next year at the earliest, and now it is nearly 5 months, so you can make good use of it.
Historically, the gunpowder carried was insufficient during the bloody war, and the Zhejiang soldiers ran out of gunpowder before they were rushed up by Jiannu to eliminate it.
Then you can reserve gunpowder in advance, and when the time comes, it will blow up Jiannu in the dark.
One of the plans in my mind gradually came true, that is, to collect intelligence, calculate the enemy's attack location, and reserve supplies in the nearby area in advance.
This is not a rush to the battle.
