Chapter 517: Tartar! The third time in the Kou!

In other words, as long as the death is worthwhile, but if the dead person has no value and does not get substantial benefits, Huang Taiji will scold his mother. Not only did Huang Taiji scold his mother, but the entire Dajin Kingdom had to scold his mother. Dajin will never waste the lives of its warriors for no reason, this is the most basic principle of the founding of the country. Otherwise, with such a small population of the Manchus, how can they afford casualties?

On the other hand, Mingguo is different. The population of the Ming Kingdom is simply unlimited. The population of any province may be equal to that of the Manchus. Even, some of the larger prefectures had more people than the entire population of the Manchus. And there are at least a few hundred prefectures in the Ming Kingdom. In other words, the population is at least a few hundred times that of the Manchus. After the Ming army died in battle, there could be another batch, and there was never a shortage of soldiers.

Although the current Ming Kingdom has weakened a lot and has no ability to take the initiative to attack, there is still no problem in terms of human resources. As long as there is enough money and food, as long as there are enough weapons, it can still arm hundreds of thousands, even millions, of troops. The problem of the Ming army was not in the strength of the troops, but in the training and command. Once a genius hero appeared in the Ming Kingdom and was able to raise the combat effectiveness of the army, the Dajin Kingdom would immediately feel the heavy pressure.

In the past, Nurhachi adopted the strategy of fighting head-on with the Ming State, although he annihilated a large number of Ming troops, but his own losses were also a lot. Perhaps, purely judging from the casualty figures, the average casualties of the Dajin Army are only less than one percent of the Ming army, and even, the casualties of one Dajin Army can be exchanged for twenty or thirty casualties of the Ming army. However, even so, such a consumption is not affordable for Dajinguo.

The population of Dajin increased very slowly, and in a short period of time, the number of warriors was basically constant. The Eight Banners structure has incorporated all the strong men into the army. No one is exempt. This means that if the Dajin army dies for one, there will be one less, and if it dies two, it will be two less. To make up for the losses, wait until the children are adults. During the battle of Sarhu, Nurhachi ordered all men over the age of eleven to participate in the battle, which can be imagined the shortage of manpower.

However, Dajin is located in a bitter cold land, and its science and technology, culture, and health are not developed, and the birth rate of children is not high, and the survival rate is not high. Of the 100 children who were born, there may be less than 50 who will eventually grow up. Even if everything goes well, the number of strong men who can be replenished to the Dajin Army every year will not exceed 3,000.

On the other hand, in the Ming Kingdom, in addition to the army, there are a large number of strong men, as long as they pay money and food, they can be recruited into the army. The Ming army in Liaodong has been annihilated by the Dajin army several times, and still maintains about 300,000 troops. It can be seen that the manpower of the Ming Kingdom has never been lacking. From this point of view, even fifty Ming troops, for one Tartar, are very cost-effective. Dajin Guo can't afford to hurt!

Since serving as the Great Khan of the Dajin Kingdom, Huang Taiji has changed Nurhachi's previous practices, no longer attacking the Ming army's strong Shanhaiguan defense line, but adopting the strategy of avoiding the real and attacking the false, plundering the population and materials of the Ming State as much as possible, and constantly enhancing the strength of the Dajin Kingdom. There are two benefits to doing so. The first is to be able to reduce the population loss of Dajin as much as possible. The second is that a larger Han Chinese population can be plundered. Especially the women of the Han Chinese.

Huang Taiji actively encouraged Manchu and Han Chinese women to have children in order to increase the population of the Dajin Kingdom, however, in order to maintain the purity of the Manchus, the Manchus were not allowed to intermarry with the Han Chinese. The status of the children born to the Manchus and the Han is higher than that of the pure Han slaves, but it is not much higher. They are the reserve force of the Dajin Kingdom and the main force of production.

At the same time, Huang Taiji also changed the previous practice of Nurhachi blindly mobilizing troops, increased political games, and increased the use of stratagems. Killing Yuan Chonghuan with Chongzhen's hand is one of the manifestations of Huang Taiji's conspiracy. A simple counter-plot will cost Yuan Chonghuan's life, and the effect is much better than using the army.

In addition, Huang Taiji also paid great attention to the strength of the Han people. He began to realize that in order to save the loss of troops of the Dajin army, he must borrow the strength of the Han people to deal with the Han people. The Han people have too many people, and while fully meeting the needs of the army, they have also produced too many factions and too many mountains. The Han people were full of internal contradictions, fighting for power and profit, and some people had no way out in the Ming Kingdom, so they ran to the Dajin Kingdom.

His important advisor Fan Wencheng was one of them. Kong Youde, who came to vote later, was also one of them. In the past, Nurhachi didn't pay attention to Fan Wencheng and others, but asked them to be responsible for writing articles and doing pen-post work. After Huang Taiji came to power, he regarded them as advisers and constantly gained knowledge and strategies from them. The Han people know the Han people best, and Huang Taiji has always thought so.

For Kong Youde's investment, Huang Taiji also attaches great importance to it. Kong Youde brought with him the long-awaited Hongyi cannon, as well as the Portuguese craftsmen who knew how to cast the Hongyi cannon. In addition to the lack of people in Dajin Country, what is most lacking is the Hongyi cannon. Without Hongyi artillery, it would be impossible to overcome the Shanhaiguan defense line simply by relying on the current equipment of the Dajin Army.

Now, Kong Youde has helped him solve this problem. Therefore, when Kong Youde came to Shenyang, Huang Taiji personally went out of the city to greet him and gave Kong Youde an unprecedented hug. In the etiquette of the Manchurians, the hug ceremony is quite high-standard, not to mention the hug ceremony of Huang Taiji. Later facts showed that Kong Youde was indeed moved, and since then he has been dead set on Dajin Kingdom.

In terms of practical results, Huang Taiji has achieved more results than Nurhachi. The results that Nurhachi could not achieve militarily were all achieved by Huang Taiji by political means. Huang Taiji conquered Korea, conquered the Mongolian steppes, and extended the power of the Dajin Kingdom to every corner of Liaodong. In Liaodong, except for the Shanhaiguan line, there is no longer any Ming army to be seen.

The Eight Banners system of the Dajin Kingdom is more perfect, the number of cattle is more, the equipment is better, and the combat effectiveness is stronger. Huang Taiji also formed the Han Army Banner, and incorporated those Han armies who were willing to serve the Dajin Kingdom into the Han Army Banner. At the same time, he also planned to organize the Mongols according to the Eight Banners system, and further integrate the Mongols into the Dajin Kingdom. Even, the Han Army Banner is ready to be split into eight banners. In this way, the Dajin Kingdom will have three huge forces: the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

Under the leadership of Huang Taiji, the national strength of the Dajin Kingdom has been continuously enhanced, and the number of troops is also increasing. After entering the Kou twice, the national strength of the Dajin Kingdom has reached a peak. Huang Taiji is deeply proud of his ability. He firmly believed that under his leadership, the Dajin Kingdom would definitely be made stronger by the Ming Kingdom. He's even planning a third intake.

However, just when he was full of ambition, Zhang Zhun suddenly appeared, and the Tiger Benjun suddenly appeared. For Dajin Guo, Zhang Zhun and Hu Benjun are simply freaks. In the past, Huang Taiji didn't know about Zhang Zhun at all, and he didn't know about the existence of the Tiger Ben Army at all. After receiving the information sent from time to time, Huang Taiji couldn't believe that the Dajin Kingdom would lose so many people in Shandong.

If some other fool led the Dajin army into the trap of the enemy and suffered such heavy losses, Huang Taiji would not be surprised at all. The problem is that the one who led the Dajin army into Shandong was definitely not a fool. This man is Dolgon! Although there is a deep contradiction between the two, which is quite incompatible, Huang Taiji definitely admires Dorgon's military talent.

In terms of purely military talent, Huang Taiji thought that Dorgon was superior to himself. However, it was this Dolgon who actually folded his wings in Shandong! Dolgon's broken wings, no matter from any point of view, are enough to deal a heavy blow to the Dajin Kingdom. The loss of more than 4,000 people has never been seen in the history of the Dajin Kingdom.

If it weren't for Dolgon being besieged in Dengzhou City, the angry Huang Taiji would definitely have imprisoned him as soon as possible and interrogated him slowly. Dolgon has caused the Great Golden Kingdom to suffer such a great loss, and I believe that no other Baylor will sympathize with him. Even Azig did not dare to publicly excuse Dorgon. If Dorgon survived, Azig was satisfied.

Dolgon's defeat has already put the Golden Kingdom under heavy pressure. There is an endless debate within Dajin Kingdom, studying how to retaliate against the Tiger Ben Army and how to arrest Zhang Zhun and hang him. However, it's not over yet. The defeat of Huangxian brought the shadow of the Great Jin Kingdom, which had not completely subsided, and Zhang Zhun began to attack the coast of Liaodong with the Tiger Ben army again.

No one could have imagined that just a small attack would cause more than 2,000 losses to the Dajin Army! No one knows how Zhang Zhun did it. At the same time, no one knows why the Dajin Army along the coast is so stupid and sends itself alive to the guns of the Tiger Army, so that the Tiger Army can inflict a lot of casualties on the Dajin Army.

Those "stupid" Niu Lu Zhangjing were all dismissed by Huang Taiji after the war, for the simple reason that they were too stupid. Whether it is Changsheng Island, Jinzhou Wei, or Zhongzuo City, the local leaders of the Dajin Army are really stupid, and they are all hot-headed, and they jump directly into the pit dug by the Tiger Army. If they were a little smarter, they wouldn't fall for the Tiger Army.

After receiving the accurate casualty figures of the Dajin army sent by Abatai, not only Huang Taiji felt very surprised, but the other slave chieftains also felt very surprised. Daishan, Abai, Tanggu, Manggultai, Tabai, Babutai, Dege, Babuhai, Laimubu, etc., expressed their views on this matter. They unanimously agreed that this behavior of the Tiger Ben Army was very dangerous and must be countered immediately.

"We must not let the Tiger Army continue to wreak havoc!"

"Zhang Zhun must not be allowed to wreak havoc anymore!"

Many slave chiefs spoke.

The current Ming Kingdom, there is not much power to resist, and a Zhang Zhun suddenly appeared, if the Dajin Kingdom does not do its best to suppress this Zhang Zhun, it will definitely make Zhang Zhun sit big. Zhang Zhun is so difficult to deal with now, after he grows up, then he still has to do it?

The Great Beledesian was not very good at military affairs, but he was very proficient in internal structures. He was deeply jealous that the current Ming Kingdom was a huge mud pond, and although it was very chaotic, it had a rich population and resources. If Zhang Zhun integrates these populations and resources, and even, changes to a new dynasty, the Dajin Kingdom will be in trouble.

In all fairness, the current Dajin Kingdom is far worse than the original Mongol Empire. When Genghis Khan was rampant, the combat effectiveness of the Mongol cavalry reached its peak. The cavalry of the Mongols even attacked tens of thousands of miles away. Even so, under the leadership of Zhu Yuanzhang and others, the Han people still succeeded in driving the Mongols out of the Central Plains. Even, several pursuits by Lan Yu, Zhu Di and others beat the Mongols to the point of being miserable, and the Golden Family has since fallen.

If such a situation really arises, it will be impossible for Dajin Guo to gain a foothold outside the customs. Because, between the Han and the Manchus, too much hatred has accumulated. Nurhachi has seven hatreds, why doesn't the Ming Kingdom have seven hatreds? Even, with the writing skills of the Han people, even if it is 70 hatreds and 700 hatreds, they can be listed.

"Zhang Zhun must be eliminated militarily!"

"The Tiger Army must be eliminated militarily!"

This was the unanimous consensus of all the slave chiefs.

They decided to give Huang Taiji more power and worked hard to eliminate Zhang Zhun and the Tiger Ben army. At this time, all the high-level leaders of the Dajin country must unite.

"Order Su Erdai to immediately lead the troops south!"

"Order Saibi to immediately lead the troops south!"

"Order Rothhan, immediately lead his troops south!"

……

After receiving the support of the various slave chiefs, Huang Taiji immediately issued an order to transfer troops.

However, Huang Taiji still wondered whether the Tiger Ben army was going to land on the southeastern coast of Liaodong, for the sake of safety, Huang Taiji ordered Zhenghuang Qi to dispatch ten Niu Lu again to reinforce Abatai. The rest of Niu Lu is in Shenyang. The Zhenghuang Flag was originally the last strength in Huang Taiji's hands, and it could not be used easily. But now, Huang Taiji has decided to use the Zhenghuang Flag.

Receiving elite reinforcements from the Zhenghuang Banner, Abatai's heart was settled. He took quite effective measures and quickly retreated the Dajin Army along the coast, so as not to be subjected to further attacks by the naval artillery of the Tiger Army. He concentrated the main forces of the Dajin Army in the triangular area between Deliyingcheng, Pangu Fort, and Luanguguan in the interior, and waited for it. At the same time, a large number of scouts were sent to reconnoiter the movements of the Tiger Army.

According to Abatai's meaning, after accurately reconnoitering the landing position of the Tiger Ben Army, he immediately led the main force of the Dajin Army to pounce on the Tiger Ben Army, and re-drove the Tiger Ben Army into the sea with lightning speed. Hauge is fully in favor of Abatai's deployment. If the Tiger Army lands, he will personally act as the counterattack vanguard. Therefore, Haoge took the initiative to apply and stationed at Luangu Pass, which is closest to the sea. As soon as the large force of the Tiger Ben Army appeared, Hauge immediately led the main force of the Blue Banner to pounce on it.

Strangely, however, after Abatai retreated from the Tartars along the coast, the Tiger Army was nowhere to be seen. Tartar scouts roam the coast every day, keeping a watchful eye on the sea. As a result, as the days passed, the Tiger Ben Army did not appear.

"What the hell is Zhang Zhun going to do?"

"What the hell is the Tiger Army going to do?"

This is the question that the slave chiefs are most puzzled about.

To say that Zhang Zhun took the Tiger Army, he just attacked and harassed the southern coast, and then retreated in a gray manner, which didn't look like it. The losses of the Dajin army were too great, and the Tiger Ben army could never be an easy attack. However, to say that the Tiger Army was preparing for a large-scale landing, the intelligence sent by the scouts showed that the large fleet of the Tiger Army had not been found. It's a strange thing. Moreover, after the attack on the center left of Jinzhou, the Tiger Army was nowhere to be found.

After a few days, Huang Taiji finally figured out that this was nothing more than a harassing attack by the Tiger Army. After throwing a mess to Dajin Kingdom, Zhang Zhun and his fleet quickly fled. The deployment of Abatai and Hauge after that was of no use at all.

"Bastard!"

"This Zhang Zhun!"

Huang Taiji, who was angry and angry, kept squeezing his hands hard.

Once upon a time, the Liaodong region was completely under the control of the Dajin Kingdom. The dominance of the Dajin Kingdom here is absolutely unprecedentedly stable. Who would have thought that the Tiger Ben Army would have the ability to harass the coastline of Liaodong? For a while, the slave chiefs, including Huang Taiji, didn't know how to deal with it. This attack by the Tiger Ben Army seems to be a bit of a prank. However, no one can guarantee whether the arrival of the Tiger Ben Army next time is really a prank.

In desperation, Huang Taiji had no choice but to order Abatai to step up the defense of the Liaodong Peninsula. In order to enhance Abatai's strength, he decided to transfer part of the main force with the yellow flag to Fuzhou Wei and Jinzhou Wei and other places to garrison for a long time. At the same time, strengthen control in the North Korean direction. In addition, he also ordered the requisition of 10,000 Mongol cavalry to assemble in Liaoyang and stand by.

Passive beating, obviously Huang Taiji is unacceptable. Therefore, after strengthening the defensive forces in various parts of Liaodong, Huang Taiji began to mobilize more troops and prepare to plan large-scale retaliatory actions. He couldn't beat Zhang Zhun for the time being, but he could hit Chongzhen. Huang Taiji decided that he wanted to recover the losses caused by Zhang Zhun to Dajin Guo. The third entry into the Koukou, which was originally launched next year, was determined to advance to this year.

Having the experience of entering the Kou twice, Dajin Jun is already very familiar with the Invader, and all the preparations are familiar with the road. The first two invasions were plundered in the northern part of the Ming Kingdom. Relatively speaking, the northern part of the Ming Kingdom was sparsely populated and did not have much wealth. After the first two lootings, there is not much left to loot in this area. Therefore, Huang Taiji's gaze quickly moved south...... Yellow River, Shandong, Jinan Province.

The banks of the Yellow River are the earliest birthplaces of Han culture, which the Han people call the mother river. On both sides of the Yellow River, a large number of people and a large amount of wealth are concentrated. As long as the cavalry of the Dajin Army can enter here, they will definitely be able to obtain unprecedented wealth and population. Intelligence shows that the strength of the Ming army on both sides of the Yellow River is very empty. Because the Ming army in the Central Plains went to chase a group of rebels who launched a rebellion from Shaanxi. With the arrival of winter, the flow of water was greatly reduced, and it was not difficult for the cavalry of the Dajin Army to cross the Yellow River.

"This is it!"

Huang Taiji knocked on the location of Jinan Mansion on the map and said gloomily.
