Jiannu went to the mountains to attack several times, but few people were ambushed and raided, and many people touched the elephant in the mountains blindly.

Nurhachi had no choice but to let the Eight Banners turn the Tieling Kaiyuan into a no-man's land, and in the end, there was no one to guide them.

Although the ability to march in the mountains is strong, the veterans of the Sichuan army and the refugees in the original area are no worse than them.

In addition, the losses in the Liaoyang and Shenyang Wars were so big, no one wanted to gnaw on this hard bone, and they were busy whipping slaves to work and plundering barbarian tribes as soldiers.

Whoever fights, who suffers, if they don't fight, they can still grow.

There was a big loss in one mile and one outside, so Zhang Shenwu completely stood on his feet.

If it was just like that, Nurhachi wouldn't be so worried.

However, the captivity of more than 100,000 people in Shenyang, Liaoyang and more than a dozen surrounding counties made it impossible for the Eight Banners to eat at once.

With the previous false slogan of "fighting for the Liaodong people", the slaves who became a reality were not fed and clothed, and many of them risked their lives to escape.

In the past six months, 20,000 people have been killed by iron-blooded means, and 30,000 people have died of starvation and exhaustion, but nearly 10,000 people have escaped.

Some of them ran to Zhang Shenwu's command.

If it was just Zhang Shenwu making trouble, Nurhachi would not be too worried, because the Eight Banners had recently absorbed tens of thousands of savages, Jurchens and Saurons.

As long as it takes another half a year, dispatch 6 flags, and then call Kormi together, Zhang Shenwu's people can destroy him even if they are brave and good at fighting.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes.

Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong stationed in Quang Ninh, took action quietly.

He sent Mao Wenlong and directly stabbed Jiannu's ass.

occupied a large area of Phi Island in the rear of Jiannu in Liaodong, and took advantage of the fact that Daishan and Amin were attracted by Zhang Shenwu, and Huang Taiji incorporated the Sauron people in the north.

Mao Wenlong launched a surprise attack, which was echoed by the Han people, and recaptured Zhenjiang, Kuandian and other towns on the banks of the Yalu River in one fell swoop.

For a time, the Eight Banners were shocked, the rule of Jiannu was threatened, and another group of clothed slaves escaped and went to Mao Wenlong's men.

There is Zhang Shenwu in the mountainous area of the hinterland, and there is Mao Wenlong next to the island and the Yalu River.

The old opponent Xiong Tingbi was staring at him, and Wang Huazhen recruited a large army.

Nurhachi, who had just broken the game and captured the two largest cities in Liaodong and the surrounding areas, fell into passivity again.

Nurhachi is in a difficult situation both internally and externally.

Although the strength of the eight banners of Jiannu has caught up with the number of 56,000 before the war after the year, more than half of them are new soldiers, and even the two yellow flags and the positive white flags have exceeded the number before the war, which is just the number.

Those clumsy stupid big Saurons, as well as those savage Jurchens who have not yet fully evolved, still need to practice together in actual combat.

Even Nurhachi, who thinks he is the best in the world in terms of military talent, is at a loss for this.

By the way, the four Baylor Emperor Taiji have great talents, why am I afraid of Xiong Tingbi, Wang Huazhen, Zhang Shenwu, Mao Wenlong and others?

"Pass the order, let the Four Baylor Emperor Taiji come back quickly!"

Huang Taiji, who was training his troops, hurried back, and he was very clear about the changes that had taken place around Jiannu.

Now neither the Ming army nor the Eight Banners have the ability to fight, if they use their energy to encircle and suppress Zhang Shenwu and Mao Wenlong, they will fall into Xiong Tingbi's arms.

He sent Fan Wencheng's subordinates to keep an eye on Wang Hongyu's whereabouts and progress, and he already knew that Wang Hongyu had put down the rebellion in Lu'an.

If Wang Hongyu returned to Liaodong with tens of thousands of troops within two years, he would have enough food at that time, Shenyang and Liaoyang were the front lines, and the Ming army would be able to destroy the grain production of the Eight Banners at will, and when the wheat was ripe, it would be possible to set fire everywhere to make us have no harvest.

Huang Taiji gave Nurhachi a strategy, suggesting that he should first find a suitable rear base area, a place with both food and soldiers, and relying on plundering the current number of troops is already the limit.

Huang Taiji has found that the method of relying on the coating to cultivate the land to fight the war is never a long-term solution, and this status quo needs to be changed, but it is indeed difficult to change it all at once.

At the same time, they continued to stabilize the smuggling trade of the Jurchens in Jianzhou, bribing smugglers who purchased luxury goods from Liaodong, asking them to bribe the clans of Shandong and Jiangnan, and exerting pressure to cut off Mao Wenlong's supply.

It is necessary to restrict Mao Wenlong's development, but also not to use too much manpower and material resources. If you really want to eliminate Mao Wenlong, it is estimated that you will be hungry after the battle.

Without the arrival of Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi's army, the clothed slaves rebelled.

Fan Wencheng had long held back his bad idea: "Where there are both military resources and food, you can also build your own large rear, of course, North Korea is very suitable." ”

"There? It seems that it can indeed be considered. ”

He flattered: "Sweating three or four flags, and a lot of coating, you don't need to bring food after crossing the Yalu River, and if you save a lot of food, you won't be afraid of famine next spring and summer." It can also allow North Korea to provide food and military supplies for a long time. ”

Nurhachi pointed out that the troops were insufficient, and the Li dynasty of Korea had a lot of troops, and if it could not defeat Korea, it would become a protracted war, so it would not be cost-effective.

Fan Wencheng thought that he could unite with the Japanese and prepare to attack the weakest North Korea in all directions. The south of Korea is rich, and the Japanese have long coveted it.

"Isn't that a cheap Japanese for nothing?" Nurhachi questioned.

Fan Wencheng explained: "Now there is a Great Khan between the Ming State and Korea, and the Great Khan and the Japanese State divide Korea, and the Ming army cannot directly send troops. In order to defeat the Japanese from the sea, the Ming Dynasty had to temporarily stop the war in Liaodong, and the Great Khan also avoided the danger of two-way warfare. ”

"When the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese are both defeated, Korea will become the territory of the Great Khan, and in the future, it will be possible to attack Yanyun and seize the Japanese state across the sea." Fan Wencheng has already thought about the next few steps.

The information sent back by his informant proved that Wang Hongyu wiped out 100,000 troops of Yu Chongming in two months, and 130,000 troops of An Bangyan in less than half a month, and Huang Taiji also knew this.

Therefore, Huang Taiji affirmed Fan Wencheng's poisonous plan: "This plan is feasible, during this period, the most Ming army will develop forces in southern Liaoning, and cross the sea to transport troops and materials. At present, the life of the Ming Dynasty is not easy, and there are no big tricks to toss in a year. ”

There is also a second poison scheme.

Because the firearms of the Ming army are good, and the firearms of the Eight Banners are very weak, it is better to follow the example of the Japanese State to import them from Hongmaoyi, and use the opportunity of cooperating with the Japanese to let the Japanese match us.

Fan Wencheng also knew from another channel that An Bangyan's 3,000 guns and many Fulong machine guns were easily wiped out by Wang Hongyu.

He had heard from the smugglers that the most powerful people were no longer the Francos, but the newcomers. The Red Hairy maintained trade with the Wa kingdom, and it would be nice if the Great Khan could cooperate with them.

Huang Taiji saw that this was a good opportunity.

Nurhachi also felt the need for foreign help.

Since then, there has been an attempt to unite the Japanese and the Netherlands to deal with the Ming Dynasty.
