Chapter 471: Confrontation

Hearing Hong Chengchou's words, everyone stopped eating and drinking and began to think about military affairs. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But everyone didn't have a clue, and after thinking about it for a long time, no one spoke. After a long time, Yang Guozhu said: "The Tartars have come to attack the whole country, and all the people who are not good at fighting are in battle, and they look powerful, but the actual combat power is not as terrible as it seems." As long as we deal with it properly, there is still a chance to fight! ”

When they heard this, they all nodded.

After a while, Li Zhi smiled and said, "Ben Hou has a plan. ”

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard and said, "What did the Marquis of Xingguo teach us? ”

Li Zhi said: "The national mobilization of the Tartars is costly, and it is not so simple. The tartars shall also eat, and plough the fields. Now all the strong men of Dongnu have gathered in Yizhou, not to mention the soldiers' salaries, grain and grass, and I don't know how much the barren fields in Dongnu's family are. ”

"The tartar is so desperate that it is like a mad dog biting a man, and it looks terrible, but in fact it is terminally ill and cannot last. As long as he is dragged for three or four months, I am afraid that Dongnu will run out of ammunition and food, and order will collapse. ”

Everyone listened to Li Zhi's words and was silent for a while.

After thinking about it, everyone felt that what Li Zhi said was very reasonable. The Tartars also have to plow the land to eat grain, and now that all the strong men are recruited to the battlefield, who will plow the fields? How can a tartar withstand months of no one plowing the field? If no one ploughs the fields, what will they eat in the coming year?

Li Zhi said: "We dug trenches outside the city of Jinzhou, built low walls, and turned Jinzhou into a big fortress, and the Tartars were consumed here. In the last few battles, the Tartars' cannons have been almost completely destroyed by us, what are the Tartars using to attack our camp? What to consume with us? ”

When everyone heard Li Zhi's words, their eyes lit up.

The so-called military strategy, what Li Zhi said was a strategic plan from a high position, and every word was fine. Everyone secretly said that the prestige of Xingguohou's victory in a hundred battles was not only obtained by the strength of soldiers and horses, but also by Li Zhi's strategic calculations, which were far stronger than other old and rough soldiers who did not know a single word.

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard and thought for a while, the more he thought about Li Zhi's strategy, the happier he became, and his face became happy.

The other generals had been worried about fighting hundreds of thousands of Tartars, fearing that they would be outnumbered. At this time, when he heard Li Zhi's strategy, he seemed to see a clear way to win the war, and he was very happy.

Yang Guozhu bowed his hand and said: "The Marquis of Xingguo has become a country, I admire it!" ”

Cao Bianjiao said: "Xingguohou said it word for word, I think we will operate according to Xingguohou's words!" ”

Wang Tingchen, Wang Pu and other general soldiers also nodded their heads, highly appreciating Li Zhi's suggestion. Wang Pu patted the table and said with a smile: "I have already seen Huang Taiji begging for war and jumping in Yizhou City!" ”

The crowd laughed and laughed.

After laughing for a while, the general soldiers all looked at Hong Chengchou, waiting for him to make a final decision.

Hong Chengchou nodded and said: "Going to the army to fight and plotting, the plan of rejuvenating the country is indeed clever!" The Governor will report to the court tomorrow, drag him for a few months, and drag the Tartars down! ”

On March 15, in the richly decorated garrison of the Yiju Acropolis, Huang Taiji couldn't help coughing a few times while listening to the reports of soldiers and horses from all walks of life.

Huang Taiji was very anxious.

Since the defeat of Dabi Mountain, Huang Taiji issued a general mobilization order in the Qing Dynasty. The edict ordered all men in Manchuria and Mongolia who had reached the age of 16 to rush to Yizhou and serve as soldiers.

Huang Taiji's paper order is to fight with the Ming Kingdom. There are more than 200 cattle in Manchuria in the Eight Banners, and each cattle has 300 households. Based on an average of two or three males per household, this is estimated to be 200,000 people. There are also a lot of people in the various tribes of Mongolia, although the Mongols will be discounted in carrying out the orders of Huang Taiji, but it is estimated that 100,000 people will still be pulled out. That's 300,000 people.

Although these newly recruited strong men are not armor-clad people, their combat power is not high. But Manchuria was born as a fishing and hunting people, and everyone practiced martial arts. Mongolia is a nomadic people, everyone rides and shoots, and these strong men can go into battle and kill. Removing the old and weak who were deployed to transport heavy grain and grass in the rear, Huang Taiji could pull out more than 200,000 horses and horses to fight the Ming army.

That's a staggering amount. This time, Huang Taiji mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized in the Qing Dynasty to launch a thunderous blow to crush the Ming army in one fell swoop.

These days, the soldiers and horses of Manchuria have responded to the call and have arrived in the city of Yiju one after another. The joint operation outside the city of Yizhou is dozens of miles, and the amount of grain and grass consumed in a day is staggering.

But what Huang Taiji couldn't accept was that after the Ming army found out that the Qing Dynasty had increased its troops, they actually retreated outside Jinzhou City to dig trenches and build walled walls.

The Ming army is trying to drag me down in the Qing Dynasty!

In the past two months, almost all the artillery of the Qing army has been destroyed by Li Zhi. Today, the Qing army lacked long-range firearms. In the face of the camp of the Ming army, the Qing army had no choice but to attack to the death. How can those earthen walls and ditches be attacked by human flesh tactics? How many people will die in a hard attack? Not to mention that Li Zhi's more than 100 cannons will continue to bombard the Qing soldiers who are attacking the village.

As soon as the Ming army put on a posture of not fighting, it made it difficult for Huang Taiji to mobilize the tiger.

In the second hall of the Yiju Garrison Mansion, Huang Taiji summoned the princes of the Eight Banners of Manchuria to discuss the matter. The nobles of the Manchu Qing Dynasty looked at Huang Taiji sitting on the dragon chair with sad faces, at a loss.

The owner of the blue flag, Prince Zheng Jierharang, said: "Your Majesty, now that the Ming army can't avoid the war, our national mobilization is a little more than worth the loss!" ”

Zilharang's words aroused the approval of all the nobles, and for a while all the beylers said: "Your Majesty, why don't you withdraw the general mobilization order!" ”

"Your Majesty, fighting to the death with the Ming army like this, it's my flesh and blood of the Qing Dynasty!"

"The emperor thinks twice!"

Huang Taiji heard the noisy discussion of the belles, and frowned silently.

Few of these dragon sons and grandsons have great talents. If there is a benefit, he will rush up, and if there is no benefit, he will run away in a noisy manner, and he will always regard himself as a bandit in Liaodong. In the eyes of these Baylors, Daming is just a good place to plunder. They didn't realize at all what it would mean to the Qing Dynasty if they lost the Songjin War.

Huang Taiji looked at Dolgon and asked, "What is the plan of King Ruijun?" ”

When Dolgon heard Huang Taiji ask him, he stood up and said to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, I think that the Ming army's strategy of avoiding war will not last. The 170,000 troops of the Ming army gathered in Jinzhou, which cost a huge amount, and the Ming court was full of short-sighted officials. I have heard that the Ming army's avoidance of the war this time was Li Zhi's strategy. However, even if Li Zhi had a foresight, the Ming court would not let Li Zhi's plan be carried out. ”

Hearing Dorgon's words, all Baylor was stunned.

Considering the temple calculations of the Ming Dynasty like Dolgon, the Baylors couldn't have thought of it anyway.

Huang Taiji sighed when he saw that Dorgon was so resourceful. The eldest son, Hauge, can be mediocre, and he can't suppress Dolgon no matter what.

"What King Ruijun said won my heart. Let's face up to Li Zhi and see who can't hold his breath first! ”
