Chapter 684: It's all counted
Dolgon successfully entered Dengzhou and Laizhou, this news, made Huang Taiji ecstatic, and the news quickly spread in the Qing Kingdom, at this time, many people finally understood that the eloquent Huang Taiji had other arrangements, and it was so clever that he deceived everyone.
After Su Tiancheng and the Jiangning battalion were stationed in Liaodong, the situation underwent some subtle changes, Huang Taiji is not an arrogant person, admitting the existence of these changes, it was the Eight Banners Army of the Great Qing State that entered the customs and plundered, and now, he also has to guard against the attack of the Ming soldiers, such a thing, Su Tiancheng and the Jiangning battalion are done, especially the many Han people who learned that Su Tiancheng will enter the Guanning Jin defense line, arranged on the spot, and asked these people to start cultivating the land. It's about to enter a new phase, a phase that has never been seen before.
Dalinghe City is more than 400 miles away from Shenyang and about 100 miles away from Montenegro, if Su Tiancheng launches an attack, he must pass through Montenegro, thinking about bypassing Montenegro to attack, the danger is too great, it is almost impossible, the courage of the Eight Banners Army, Su Tiancheng is also clear, so this possibility is ruled out by Huang Taiji, that is, even if Su Tiancheng wants to attack Shenyang, he must first take Montenegro.
After Dolgon's intelligence that he had won a great victory in the Dengzhou raid returned, Huang Taiji quickly summoned the civil and military ministers such as Zilharang and Fan Wencheng to discuss the next move, that is, to predict what reaction Su Tiancheng would make, which was also necessary.
Huang Taiji, who was in a good mood, stood in front of the map, and Jierharang, Fan Wencheng and others stood on both sides.
"The fourteenth brother has achieved a major victory in Dengzhou, and I estimate that Su Tiancheng will definitely have to come up with countermeasures. Tell me what measures Su Tiancheng will take. ”
According to his identity, it should be Zierharang who answered first, but Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng, and Fan Wencheng always participated in the planning of the army's actions. It should be said that he has mature thinking.
Sure enough, it was Fan Wencheng who spoke first.
"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that the greatest possibility is that Su Tiancheng sent troops to reinforce Dengzhou and Laizhou, Dengzhou and Laizhou are not far from the Ming Jingshi, and throughout the Ming army, those with a certain combat effectiveness are all distributed in the Guanning Jin defense line. Datong, Ningxia and other places, the guards in the interior are vulnerable, so it is impossible to resist our Eight Banners Army, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, after learning the news. It must be panicked, and there will be an uproar in the court. Even if Su Tiancheng understands that sending troops to reinforce Dengzhou and Laizhou will not have much effect, but he must do so, the slave thinks that the emperor's arrangement this time. hit Su Tiancheng's soft underbelly, and the next possibility is that Su Tiancheng must divide his troops and send a part of his sergeants to garrison Dengzhou and Laizhou. Including Tianjin and other places. ”
Fan Wencheng's analysis is very reasonable, and it has also been carefully considered.
Huang Taiji nodded and looked at Zilharang.
Jierharang's heart was a little unhappy, the emperor arranged such a big action, he didn't know the way, no matter what, he was a prince, such a big action, he knew the way, and he wouldn't reveal it, judging from the tone and attitude of Fan Wencheng's words just now, Fan Wencheng knew about the action.
Perhaps seeing through Zilharang's thoughts, Huang Taiji spoke.
"Prince Zheng, the fourteenth brother's attack on Dengzhou and Laizhou, I didn't tell you, but also considered, this time to attack Dengzhou and Laizhou, mainly rely on warships, over the years, I secretly built warships, looking forward to building a sailor of my Great Qing Kingdom, Su Tiancheng and Jiangning Battalion stationed in Guanningjin Defense Line, Datong and Ningxia and other border passes, caused a great threat to my Great Qing State, the plan to attack Da Ming was frustrated, I thought of opening up other ways, building a great Qing country's sailors, is one of the best ways to Lu, This time the fourteenth brother took a warship to attack Dengzhou and Laizhou, it was just a tentative move, and now it seems that the effect is very good, but this Su Tiancheng and Jiangning camp are powerful, I am also clear, so such news cannot be leaked, otherwise it will not achieve the unexpected effect, I didn't tell you, and I also considered it from this aspect. ”
"The emperor is painstaking, and the minister understands."
"It's good to understand, then tell me what you think."
Zilharang thought for a moment and spoke slowly.
"The minister thinks that what Lord Fan said is some truth, in the past, my Eight Banners Army entered the customs, Chongzhen was to gather the military horses everywhere Qin Wang, this time, Prince Rui led the army, attacked Dengzhou and Laizhou, and achieved success, but threatened Jinan, Qingzhou and other places, and went further, directly into the North Zhili, even if it is not able to attack the Ming Dynasty's Jingshi, it can also cause a huge threat, so that Chongzhen is in a hurry, after retreating, calmly board the ship and leave, it can be said that it is foolproof, even if Su Tiancheng sent the Jiangning battalion to reinforcements, Ningyuan is far away from Dengzhou, and the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion rushed to Dengzhou, which is also a tired division, and Prince Rui can lead the army and give the Jiangning battalion a heavy blow, so that the effect is the best. ”
Fan Wencheng and Zierharang's analysis made Huang Taiji very happy.
In his opinion, Su Tiancheng should be going to reinforce Dengzhou and Laizhou, Dolgon's time in Dengzhou and Laizhou is about ten days, according to the time calculation, when Su Tiancheng and Jiangning Ying arrived in Dengzhou or Laizhou, it is equivalent to seeing Dolgon off, at this time, Dolgon has completed all the tasks and evacuated Penglai City.
Of course, as a generation of heroes, Dolgon's consideration is very comprehensive.
After Fan Wencheng and Ji'er Harang both spoke, the rest of the people didn't say anything, Huang Taiji looked at everyone and slowly spoke.
"What you said is reasonable, according to the mind of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, at this time, I am afraid that I can't sit still, thinking about making an order to ask Su Tiancheng to go to King Qin's escort, hehe, if such a situation occurs, then we will continue to stimulate Chongzhen and Su Tiancheng, and ask the Eighth Banner Army led by the second brother to carry out operations in the grassland, which will make Su Tiancheng tired and difficult to take care of both sides."
Speaking of this, Huang Taiji's words changed.
"But there is a situation that I have considered, that is, Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying Battalion attacked Montenegro, if such a situation occurs, how do you think we should deal with it."
This time it was Zilharang who spoke first.
"Your Majesty, the minister thought that there would be no such situation, judging from the intelligence some time ago, the more than 100,000 Han people who entered the Guanning Jin defense line have not been able to be completely settled, these people need huge consumption, spread all over the Guanning Jin defense line more than 400 miles of land, it should be said that Su Tiancheng's focus is in this regard, not to mention that it is now the autumn harvest season, Su Tiancheng's control of Anning Fort and Jingbian's mutual market, is also the time when things are the most, on the other hand, Su Tiancheng is starting to consolidate the construction of Dalinghe City, Some of the strongholds and fortresses on the periphery are still under construction, and at such a time, the possibility of attacking Montenegro is very small. ”
As soon as Zilharang finished speaking, Fan Wencheng also spoke.
"The slave seconded Prince Zheng's statement, the slave thought that it was impossible for Su Tiancheng to attack Montenegro, Prince Rui was attacking Dengzhou and Laizhou, the Ming court thought of solving the problem of Dengzhou and Laizhou, and the order they issued must be asking Su Tiancheng to reinforce Dengzhou and Laizhou, not to mention that if Prince Rui made a posture of attacking Zhili to the north, Chongzhen would not be able to sit still, and the Ming court would also panic, in this case, unless Su Tiancheng was disrespectful, such a situation really occurred, and the slave would congratulate the emperor."
The smile on Huang Taiji's face became more obvious, the depression that has been going on for several years now finally has a place to vent, according to normal analysis, Su Tiancheng and Jiangning Battalion must go to Dengzhou and Laizhou to reinforce, but the deployment must be in front, just in case, if Su Tiancheng really attacks Montenegro, this is his weak link.
"I look at the direction of Montenegro, but I still can't be careless, so Hauge led 10,000 soldiers with the Blue Banner to be stationed near Montenegro to strengthen Montenegro's defenses, and if something goes wrong in Montenegro, they will rush to help at any time."
There are 5,000 soldiers of the Blue Banner stationed in Montenegro, in addition to 20,000 Han troops, this time the garrison force is far stronger than Dalinghe City, the Eight Banners Army of the 5,000 Blue Banner is the elite army of Houjin, Haoge is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and was awarded the title of Prince Su for his military merits, serving as the owner of the Blue Banner, and he is also a hot figure, able to compete with Dolgon.
In fact, in the interior of the Great Qing Dynasty, there are also many factions, wherever power is concentrated, there are such problems, to say that the factions of the Great Qing Kingdom, according to the Eight Banners Army in charge, Huang Taiji is personally in charge of the Yellow Flag and the Yellow Flag, the Dolgon brothers are in charge of the White Flag and the White Flag, Daishan is in charge of the Red Flag and the Red Flag, Haoge is in charge of the Blue Flag, and Zierharang is in charge of the Blue Banner, these people are the people who really hold the power of the Great Qing Dynasty.
Fortunately, Huang Taiji is in good health and full of energy, and has not yet considered the issue of the heir, if the matter of the heir is really mentioned, there will inevitably be some battles in the Qing Kingdom, if Huang Taiji dies suddenly, Dai Shan, Dolgon, Hauge and others are all qualified to inherit the emperor's throne.
It's a pity that Huang Taiji didn't think too much about this issue, so that he buried the biggest bane for the fall of the Qing Dynasty, which is a later story.
Huang Taiji's arrangement does have a deep meaning, strengthening the defense in the direction of Montenegro, launching a substantial attack from Dengzhou and Laizhou, and planting a team from the direction of Mongolia, which can attack at any time, this is an attack from two directions, so that Su Tiancheng takes care of one and loses the other, and Su Tiancheng also has to bear the huge pressure from the Ming Emperor and the imperial court, and if he is not careful, he may suffer a loss.
