Chapter 1062: The Decisive Battle in Liaodong (4)

Completely different from the situation in the capital is Shenyang, which is also in the palace.

Huang Taiji has clearly known that the focus of the Ming army's attack is Liaodong, and it is the joint attack of the Jiangning battalion and the Liaodong border army, the news has been completely confirmed, after learning this news, Huang Taiji first thought of Fan Wencheng and Jia Jihan.

In fact, Fan Wencheng also made such an analysis, that was when Fan Wencheng once told Haoge about such a possibility in order to redeem his mistakes, but at that time, Haoge already knew that Fan Wencheng was about to be purged, so he did not pay attention to Fan Wencheng's opinion.

This makes Huang Taiji very emotional, it seems that the wisdom of the Han people can not be erased, it must be admitted that to a certain extent, the unity of the Han people is not as good as the Manchurians, which is also one of the reasons for the gradual decline of the Ming Dynasty, but the bigger or more important reason is not here, lies in how the Ming Emperor used the wisdom and strength of the Han people, and promoted the strengths and avoided the weaknesses.

Emperor Taiji didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was almost desperate to do anything to Su Tiancheng, if he knew such a top-secret news as Lu Dao, he would definitely immediately call off the troops and send people to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to express his submission, so that Chongzhen could free up his hands to deal with Su Tiancheng, which was a great thing for the Qing Dynasty.

Su Tiancheng led the Ming army to attack Liaodong, preparing to take Guangning and Xiping Fort, and then he could directly threaten Shenyang, even if Su Tiancheng captured Guangning and Xiping Fort, and did not launch an attack for the time being, the Qing Dynasty also encountered a major threat, Shenyang was almost at the forefront, and a large number of troops must be deployed around to guard against the attack of the Ming army at any time.

Huang Taiji was well aware of this, and he had to find a way to hold Quang Ninh and Xiping Fort. But it is not enough to just say it on the lips, so at this time, Huang Taiji actually had a plan to drive the expedition in person.

Huang Taiji's plan met with resolute opposition from Haoge.

A debate took place in the Chongzheng Palace, and there was no one else, inside the huge Chongzheng Palace. It is Huang Taiji and Haoge.

Huang Taiji had just finished interrupting when Hauge immediately spoke.

"Erchen does not agree with his father's imperial expedition, Erchen knows his father's wishes, his father has fought countless battles, and there is no problem in commanding the army.

"Hauge. Are you worried about my body? ”

"That's one of the most important reasons, but it's not the whole story."

"Oh, what else is the reason, say it all."

"Father, the son is bold, if the Ming army captures Ningyuan City and Xiping Fort, it will directly threaten Shenyang, which is the capital of my Great Qing Kingdom. It must be ensured that nothing goes wrong, and there is a father in Shenyang. It must be safe and sound, as for the body of the father, under such conditions, it is impossible to charge into battle, and the son implores the father not to have a plan for the expedition. ”

"Hauge, the battle of Liaodong. It is of great significance, I decided to go to the expedition because I was worried about failure, and as for the affairs of Shenyang, you can be directly responsible. I'm relieved. ”

Haoge glared, in fact, there were some words, he was not easy to say, Huang Taiji's body was extremely weak, he knew the Tao from the imperial doctor, at this time, if Huang Taiji went out in person, his body would definitely not be able to bear it, from the interests of the Great Qing Dynasty, if Huang Taiji was in the process of pro-conquest, if something went wrong, it would be a major blow, even more serious than losing Ning Yuan and Xiping Fort.

In the past, Haoge would not have such concerns, thinking that Huang Taiji personally went out to fight, it was a matter of course, the Qing Kingdom encountered a real threat, Huang Taiji had been a handsome man all his life, how could he sit idly by, it could be called Huang Taiji, Haoge considered the problem much more comprehensively.

"The father's body is not allowed to be conscripted, and the sons will not agree with the father's decision, not only the sons, but also many princes, county kings, Baylor, Beizi and ministers of the court, will not agree to the emperor's personal conquest, and the sons can replace their fathers and lead the army to conquer in person, and they will definitely defeat the Ming army."

Huang Taiji sighed softly, he was just a little unbearable and unconvinced in his heart, when the Great Qing Kingdom encountered danger, as the emperor, he could not avoid the contradictions, and he must be the first to meet it, this is the rule of the Great Qing Kingdom, and his father Nurhachi has always done this. But Huang Taiji knows better that his body is not allowed to be personally recruited, and the horse leather shroud is the destination of the soldiers, but not the emperor's destination.

"Haoge, I know your worries, I don't insist on the personal conquest, you don't want to supervise the war, Zierharang can deal with it, I am worried about the situation in Liaodong."

Huang Taiji's words are contradictory, on the one hand, he thinks that Zierharang can deal with it, and on the other hand, he is worried about the situation in Liaodong, which fully shows that Huang Taiji has no confidence in the defense of Liaodong. In the past, such worries could not have been possible, after all, the soldiers of the Great Qing Kingdom were brave, and over the years, even when it was extremely dangerous, when less was more, they had also achieved victory, but in the face of Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying, the Great Qing Kingdom did not take any advantage, but mostly failed.

Haoge's idea is similar to that of Huang Taiji, but he is more confident, there are more than 100,000 troops in Liaodong, and it is more than enough to deal with the attack of the Ming army, not to mention that the focus of the Ming army's attack is in the direction of Liaodong and Haizhou, which is completely capable of making a fuss.

"Father, the son thinks there is no problem, the son has just learned, the Japanese are ready, and they will launch an attack on Korea at the beginning of next month, so that Fuzhou and Xuanzhou and other places must be affected, Prince Rui can take advantage of the situation to launch an attack, directly threaten Fuzhou and Xuanzhou, and then threaten Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, there is such a situation, Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying cannot sit idly by."

Huang Taiji nodded slightly, Haoge considered it quite comprehensively, and the best way now is to let Jierharang resolutely resist the attack of the Ming army, delay time, and wait for the changes in Fuzhou and Xuanzhou.

However, for the Japanese, Huang Taiji also has his own opinions.

"Haoge, the Japanese are only used by my Great Qing Kingdom, you have to remember that any object can only be used in the same situation, and must not have a dependence mentality, so that their own interests will be greatly infringed, there are some things I didn't want to say, more than ten years ago, the Manchurian Eight Banners fought against the Mongolian steppe tribes, and later they were still attached to my Great Qing Kingdom, you also have to have such an understanding, the Manchus are the most able to rely on, in addition, they are all used."

"Erchen remembered."

"The battle in Liaodong is about to begin, I see, in order to prevent accidents, the Zhenglan Banner stationed in Liaoyang will leave Liaoyang and be stationed by the Liaohe River, leaving the Yellow Flag to be stationed in Liaoyang, so that it can give Jierharang greater confidence, if the battle situation changes, the Zhenglan Banner can directly join the battle."

"In addition, I have one more thing, I want to ask you in particular, the so-called general will be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, at such a critical moment, you should not easily meddle in the war in Liaodong, lest Jierharang do not know how to choose, the series of defensive measures taken by Jierharang, I think it is extremely thoughtful, even if I am stationed in Liaodong, I may not be able to think of this, I and you must not be like the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, directly command the battle."

Hauge nodded, he has a personal experience in this regard, he has led the army to fight many times, and he is very disgusted with unrealistic intervention, and he does not easily interfere in the operations of Liaodong and Haizhou, not that he does not care, in terms of major decisions, including what should be adhered to, it is still necessary to make and emphasize, as for how to fight, it is the commander's own business, and he does not need to arrange it, and he cannot manage it too carefully.

Huang Taiji's holy decree soon arrived in Ningyuan City.

When he received the holy decree, Zierharang was a little worried, all his thoughts were on the defense of Liaodong, and all his thoughts were about how to deal with the attack of the Ming army.

Huang Taiji's holy decree reassured Jierharang, and the holy decree affirmed all the deployments made by Jierharang, requiring Jierharang to lead the army, and must hold Ningyuan and Xiping Fort, and there can be no mistakes, and the blue flag is stationed on the Liao River, which is a reassuring pill for Jierharang, in case there is a problem in the battle situation in Liaodong, he still has a large army that can be mobilized and can be used to deal with the Ming army, which can be described as the greatest support.

With the Holy Decree, Zilharang had greater confidence in the task of holding Quang Ninh and Si Binh Fort.

Dolgon, who was in Haizhou, also received the holy decree of Huang Taiji, the focus of the Ming army's attack was in the direction of Liaodong, which made Dolgon a little depressed, he led the army to Haizhou, that is, to fight to the death with Su Tiancheng, who knew that Su Tiancheng led the army to Liaodong, but Dolgon also knew that the attack in the direction of Haizhou was also very important, if the army could threaten Xuanzhou and Fuzhou, it would also affect the decisive battle in Liaodong.

After receiving the holy decree, Dolgon did not waste time, and quickly began to deploy the offensive matters, his focus was on the 30,000 Ming troops stationed in Xuanzhou, Fuzhou and Xuanzhou Ming troops are still a lot, the attack also needs an opportunity, and it is necessary to grasp the opportunity, but in the holy decree of Huang Taiji, it is recommended not to attack for the time being, and wait for the best reality, which makes Dolgon a little puzzled, when is the best time.

Da Ming and Hou Jin, in this life-and-death decisive battle in Liaodong, the attitude is obviously different, Hou Jin is full support, Da Ming is completely uneasy, and even looks forward to weakening the strength of Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ning Ying through fighting, the existence of this situation has too much irony.
