Chapter 1056: Unpredictable
Jia Jihan's analysis has aroused Huang Taiji's great attention, and for a whole day, Huang Taiji has been looking at the map, thinking seriously, and at the same time asking Hao Ge to also think, which is a great test for Huang Taiji, who is not in good health, but Jia Jihan's analysis is too important.
In fact, after Huang Taiji made deployment adjustments, he has always been uneasy in his heart, although the Jiangning battalion occupied Gaizhou, from the surface situation, it must have launched an attack on Yaozhou, but Jia Jihan's analysis is very reasonable, if the Ming army launched an attack from Liaodong and took Guangning and Xiping Fort, Shenyang would be dangerous, and at that time, Dolgon, who was stationed in Haizhou, even if it was a large-scale attack on Gaizhou, Fuzhou and Xuanzhou, would be useless.
In terms of the importance of location, Liaodong is far stronger than Haizhou.
Could it be that Su Tiancheng can't think of this, Huang Taiji, who has a sufficient understanding of Su Tiancheng, believes that Su Tiancheng will definitely consider this problem, just like eating steamed buns analyzed by Jia Jihan, eating two steamed buns in one go, everyone will make such a choice, and if you are yourself, I am afraid you will also have to consider this.
As for saying that the focus of Su Tiancheng's first attack was in the direction of Haizhou, I am afraid that it was expected, mainly to eliminate the vitality of the Great Qing Kingdom, and now both sides are fully prepared, in this case, Su Tiancheng still chose the difficult Haizhou direction to attack, no matter how you look at it, it is a little inappropriate.
Huang Taiji was a little annoyed, because of Duoduo's death, and because of the mistake in judging the focus of the attack, he was also a little hesitant, and he couldn't think of more possibilities.
Stationed in Quang Ninh and Xiping Fort are the blue flag of Zierharang, as well as the positive yellow flag, the yellow flag and the blue flag of the Han Eight Banners, of which the Zheng Red Flag and the Yellow Flag of the Han Eight Banners are stationed in Xiping Fort. All of them are mainly defensive, but those who entered Haizhou, the white flag and the white flag of Dolgon, as well as the red flag, the red flag, the white flag, and the white flag in the eight banners of the Han Dynasty, the contrast between the strength and strength is far stronger than that of Liaodong. Huang Taiji still thought that when the opportunity came, he would be able to launch an attack from the direction of Haizhou.
As for the offensive of Liaodong, I haven't considered it for the time being, the Guanningjin defense line is unusually strong, unless there is civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, don't think about being able to take the Guanningjin defense line at present.
From such a way of thinking, it is said that a heavy army was deployed in the direction of Haizhou. The focus is still on the offense, and there is also the meaning of a decisive battle with Su Tiancheng.
After thinking about it for most of the day, Huang Taiji broke out in a cold sweat.
If Su Tiancheng launched an attack from the direction of Liaodong and took Guangning and Xiping Fort, Shenyang would encounter great danger, and the army stationed in Haizhou must retreat quickly to ensure that Shenyang can be defended first. Secondly, considering the recapture of Quang Ninh, such a situation is really going to occur. It is almost impossible to recapture Quang Ninh, so the defense line of the Great Qing State may collapse completely.
The strong stimulation made Huang Taiji particularly excited, he thought of all kinds of possibilities, and carefully read the analysis made by Jia Jihan. I feel the problem more and more.
When Hauge entered the Chongzheng Palace, it was already dark.
Huang Taiji didn't hesitate and spoke straight.
"Hauge, what do you think of the intelligence analyzed by Jia Jihan."
"Father. Erchen thought that there was indeed such a possibility, if the main force of the Ming army chose to attack from the direction of Liaodong, our defensive strength would be insufficient, and once the Ming army took Guangning or Xiping Fort, Shenyang would be threatened. ”
Huang Taiji nodded, very relieved, Hauge was able to analyze these problems, slightly beyond his expectations.
Hauge said relatively simply, such a major adjustment, Huang Taiji needs to think clearly, he pointed to the map and spoke.
"Haoge, you see, Xiping Fort is more than 100 miles away from Guangning, Haizhou is more than 200 miles away from Xiping Fort, in peacetime, any place is in trouble, there is no big problem with the reinforcement of the army, if Xiping Fort is captured by the Ming army, the focus of the Ming army's attack is in Liaodong, Haizhou's Dolgon can rush to help, so that the Ming army is in a disadvantageous position, but now the trouble is that the Ming army's offensive focus, even in Liaodong, Gaizhou will definitely leave a sergeant stationed, once Dolgon galloped to Xiping Fort, There will be problems in the defense of Haizhou direction, and the loss of Xiping Fort will directly affect Quang Ninh, once the Ming army is stubbornly defended in Xiping Fort and Jierharang, who is stationed in Quang Ninh, will encounter huge trouble. ”
"What my father means is that it is possible for the Ming army to shift the focus of its attack to Liaodong, and first of all, Xiping Fort."
"That's true, I thought about it for a whole day, and I felt that this possibility was very great, but it was not so simple to really make a decision, Haizhou and Liaodong had to take care of it, it was obvious that the possibility of launching an attack from the direction of Liaodong was not large, and there was no ability to take the Guanningjin defense line at present, so it was not too big to put too many troops in Liaodong, but if the focus of the Ming army's attack shifted to Liaodong, Jierharang in Liaodong would encounter a major test."
"What my father meant, my sons understood, my father was thinking, let Prince Zheng support him, Prince Rui launched an attack from the direction of Haizhou, once he took Gaizhou and threatened Fuzhou and Xuanzhou and other places, the situation in Liaodong may change."
Huang Taiji nodded, did not speak, he has never liked complete defense, in his opinion, the initiative to attack is the best defense, if the focus of the Ming army's attack is Liaodong, Dorgon can quickly attack from the direction of Haizhou, and from the time calculation, the Japanese should be ready for everything, will attack Korea, at that time, Dolgon can occupy an absolute advantage, echo with the Japanese, from both sides to attack the Jiangning battalion.
Hauge's face turned serious.
"Father, the sons do not agree to such a deployment."
"Well, tell me your reasoning."
"The position of Liaodong is too important, can not have the slightest mistake, if the Ming army takes Guangning and Xiping Fort, Shenyang will encounter a direct threat, if Erchen is in command of this battle, will ignore the attack in the direction of Haizhou, as long as Guangning and Xiping Fort are taken, you can point to the Liaohe River, directly threaten Shenyang, in terms of importance, Gaizhou, Fuzhou and Xuanzhou and other places, far less than Guangning and Xipingbao, Erchen means that Su Tiancheng can give up Gaizhou, Xuanzhou, or even Fuzhou, attack from the direction of Liaodong, As long as Su Tiancheng wins in Liaodong, our Great Qing Kingdom will suffer a heavy blow. ”
Huang Taiji nodded, what Haoge said made a lot of sense.
"Hauge, I listened to what you said, and you continue to talk about what kind of adjustments should be made."
"Father, the son has thought about it, Prince Rui is still stationed in Haizhou, the white flag and the inlaid white flag are not moving, and the red flag and the inlaid red flag among the eight banners of the Han Dynasty are transferred to Liaodong and stationed in Guangning and Xiping Fort respectively."
Seeing the look of surprise on Huang Taiji's face, Haoge explained again.
"This is the result of Erchen's careful thinking, on the surface, the defense in the direction of Haizhou has been greatly weakened, but it is still close to 80,000 people, there will not be much problem in garrisoning Haizhou and Yaozhou, as long as you don't want to attack for the time being, when will the Japanese attack, or noncommittal, it can't be relied on, even if there is trouble in the direction of Haizhou, the army stationed in Liaoyang can rush to the aid in the fastest time."
"With this arrangement, the situation in Liaodong is different, the number of guards has reached more than 130,000, even if the main force of the Ming army attacks Liaodong, it is completely able to resist."
After Hauge explained, he pointed his finger in the direction of Gaizhou.
"Father, if the direction of the Ming army's attack is in Liaodong, there must not be many soldiers left in Gaizhou, Prince Rui can still launch an attack to test the strength of Gaizhou, according to the opinion of the sons, Su Tiancheng will focus on the place that needs to be guarded, or Fuzhou, not Gaizhou, after the start, the Ming army will definitely take the initiative to give up Gaizhou and focus on guarding Fuzhou."
Huang Taiji didn't speak for a while, mobilizing the army of the two flags into Liaodong, this is not a trivial matter, you need to think seriously, the battle is a game of chess, you lose all the games if you are not careful, there is already a profound lesson in front, the blue flag in the eight banners of the Han Dynasty, the whole army is annihilated, the white flag in the eight banners, the loss is not small, as for the Han army, it is equivalent to the annihilation of the whole army, if there is a mistake in judgment this time, it will threaten the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.
"I ask you the last question, the direction of the Ming army's attack, if it is Haizhou, how to deal with it."
Huang Taiji actually thought about it, but he was a little uneasy, so he threw out this question.
"Father, son-in-law thinks, the problem is not very big, in case the focus of the Ming army's attack is Haizhou, the Han Eight Banners in Liaodong can be transferred back, there are more than 40,000 soldiers in the red flag and the red flag, presumably the Ming army does not have the ability to deal with both sides, the Ming army originally intended to attack Yaozhou and Haizhou, if they start to attack, the reinforced red flag and the red flag can directly attack Gaizhou, blocking the retreat of the Ming army."
A smile finally appeared on Huang Taiji's face.
"Okay, if such a situation occurs, my Great Qing Kingdom will start a decisive battle with Su Tiancheng, right here in Haizhou, either you die or I die, I don't believe it, the Jiangning Battalion can destroy all the elite troops of my Great Qing Kingdom."
When Huang Taiji said these words, he slapped the map.
"Haoge, Jia Jihan has made a contribution this time, I see that this Jia Jihan is no worse than Fan Wencheng, he has some ambitions, and he can be reused, how to do it, I won't say much."
Haoge nodded, did not speak, once Huang Taiji determined his thoughts, he would start to be busy, the recruitment of the army is not as simple as words, and the time is very tight, it is necessary to requisition several large armies in place in the shortest possible time, in order to ensure that the deployment of the campaign is truly completed.
