The news that the Ming army began to assemble on a large scale and prepared to exterminate the Qing Dynasty soon reached Shenyang, this time the Ming court did not hide any news, and even the news of the Ming Emperor's Zheng Xunrui's personal expedition came.

The Great Qing Kingdom has finally reached the point of life and death.

Huang Taiji quickly cheered up, he knew that this day was going to come sooner or later, as Huang Taiji, who had participated in the battle all his life and experienced countless life and death, the conquest and killing was not a big deal, although he was already in his fifties, he could still go to the battlefield to fight, and what flowed in his bones was the hot and aggressive blood, which used to fight with wild beasts in the mountains, and now he fought with his opponents.

Huang Taiji has full confidence, he even hopes that such a life-and-death battle will come as soon as possible, so that all the Manchu nobles can unite together, burst out the greatest energy, and fight with the Ming army, maybe such a life-and-death battle can make the Qing Kingdom out of the trough and create glory again.

The Qing Dynasty is already in a difficult situation at home and abroad, it is difficult to continue to maintain, the Manchu nobles are in a state of complete hostility, the vast majority of the Mongols have also chosen to leave, as for those Koreans, the critical moment is simply unreliable, if this situation lasts for two to three years, the Qing Dynasty will be difficult to continue, to that situation, Huang Taiji is also powerless.

But the actual situation was far from as smooth as Huang Taiji thought.

Upon hearing the news that the Ming army was about to cross the Liao River and launch a large-scale attack, there were different opinions among the Manchu nobles, the most important of which was that the capital of the Great Qing Dynasty was relocated to the area of Tieling or Kaiyuan, and even after passing the Zhenbei Pass, returning to the white mountains and black waters where they used to live.

The Manchu nobles who supported the Ming army fighting around Shenyang. The few are pitiful, except for the support of Zilharang and Hauge among the princes, almost all of the rest are the idea of taking the initiative to evacuate.

Huang Taiji could not tolerate such a situation, he summoned all the Manchu nobles to discuss the matter in the Dazheng Palace, and did not expect that Azig, the king of Wuying County, would stand up against it first. It is the best choice to think that under the current situation, the Qing Dynasty avoided the edge of the Ming army, and temporarily relocated the capital to the Kaiyuan area, which is the best choice, the north has entered the winter, and the climate in the Kaiyuan area is cold, and the Ming army is difficult to adapt, and the Eight Banners Army does not have such difficulties, if the Ming army pursues in the direction of Kaiyuan. Then the Eight Banners Army can take advantage of its familiarity with the environment and climate to strike at the Ming army.

Dolgon, Daishan, and others all supported Azig's opinion.

Zierharang and Haoge proposed to meet the Ming army east of the Liao River, and they must not retreat, Shenyang is the capital of the Qing Dynasty, and they must defend it desperately, and they cannot give up easily, once the Qing Kingdom gives up the capital of Shenyang. Then the people's hearts will be completely dispersed, and the Eight Banners Army will not be able to fight the Ming army at all. Even if it is to retreat to Kaiyuan, or even to the north of Zhenbei Pass, it will have no substantive effect.

It is a pity that the opinions of Zilharang and Hauge have not been echoed much.

Huang Taiji was furious, severely reprimanded Azig, and incidentally also said Daishan and Dolgon.

But most of the Manchurians were noble. Or support the proposal to relocate the capital.

Huang Taiji, who was furious, fainted again, but Jierharang and others hurriedly ordered the imperial doctor to give first aid, and Huang Taiji woke up leisurely.

Huang Taiji, who woke up, was reluctant to leave the Great Palace. He had to arrange for the deployment to be completed.

Huang Taiji is not unable to suffer a blow, he also made up his mind, and the Ming army to fight to the death, since the Ming Emperor Zheng Xunrui drove the expedition in person, he thought that he would meet this opponent, to see how magical this young opponent is, what he looks like, but his ambition can not be echoed by the Manchurian nobles.

Huang Taiji knew very well that this was the best sign of the sharp decline of his influence, and many Manchu nobles no longer believed him, believing that he could not take on the heavy responsibility of resisting the Ming army, and that the Eight Banners Army was not able to resist the Ming army at all.

This is the saddest and deadliest thing of all.

Huang Taiji ascended the throne and called the emperor for ten years, the Qing Dynasty has also gone through ten years, Huang Taiji's prestige, once in the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, reached its peak, he let the grassland tribes submit, he personally led the army, defeated the Ming army several times, occupied almost all places in Liaodong, he even personally led the Eight Banners Army into the pass, the Ming army lost its armor.

But all this has passed, and now the Eight Banners Army, incomplete, and has been defeated by the Ming Army several times, and the failures in the Battle of Liaodong and the Battle of Fengzhen have destroyed most of the ambitions of the Eight Banners Army, and also made the Manchurian nobles not believe in him as the emperor.

At this time, Huang Taiji really understood the power of Zheng Xunrui, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Xunrui ascended the throne for four years and more than three years, and it is said that a large-scale attack on the Great Qing State should have been launched a long time ago, but the people just did not move, and successively adopted the strategy of stabilizing and recovering many places in Liaodong, blockading Liaodong and southern Liaoning, and prohibiting mutual markets. The Qing Dynasty suffered an even heavier blow.

Huang Taiji has always been a little puzzled, why Zheng Xunrui didn't order the army to attack the Qing Kingdom earlier, but now he understands, Zheng Xunrui is waiting for the best time, hoping to exchange the smallest loss for the greatest victory.

Zheng Xunrui even hoped that without paying any price, he would easily destroy the Great Qing Kingdom.

This is wisdom, the wisdom that Huang Taiji is ashamed of.

Huang Taiji struggled for decades, and when he was very young, he followed his father Nurhachi's side to conquer, relying on his own wisdom and ability to stand out.

It's a pity that there is a Zheng Xunrui, and there is a Zheng Jiajun created by Zheng Xunrui himself.

Huang Taiji's nightmare began at this time, after so many years of fighting, Huang Taiji finally admitted that he really couldn't fight Zheng Xunrui, whether it was in terms of scheming or fighting.

The deliberations of the Great Political Palace, failed to reach any consensus, Huang Taiji finally made a decision in anger, issued a will, the Eight Banners Army must start to resist the Ming army from the east of the Liao River, no matter how difficult it encountered, but also to protect Shenyang, Shenyang is the capital of the Great Qing State, but also a symbol of the existence of the Great Qing State, and will not be easily discarded.

Huang Taiji's words still showed weakness, he did not say that he swore to defend Shenyang to the death, but said that he would do his best to protect it, and he would still give up Shenyang as a last resort.

In the past, Huang Taiji would never say such words.

Next, Huang Taiji did not consult anyone's opinion, and immediately began to arrange the deployment.

Prince Zheng Jierharang and Prince Rui Dolgon, as well as King Azig of Wuying County, led the white flag, blue flag and red flag sergeants in the Eight Banners to guard the east of the Liao River, focusing on the security of Shenyang, Prince Dai Shan and Prince Su Haoge, leading the soldiers of the Blue Flag, White Flag and Red Flag in the Eight Banners, guarding Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou in southern Liaoning, focusing on the security of Liaoyang and other places, and Huang Taiji led the Yellow Flag and Yellow Flag in the Eight Banners to garrison Shenyang.

The rest of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty were appropriately matched and stationed east of the Liao River and south of Liao, respectively.

Huang Taiji's arrangement and deployment is already a decisive battle posture, the Manchu Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners all participate in the battle, all the princes participate in the battle, even the first prince of the Great Qing Kingdom who is over 60 years old Dai Shan is no exception, this can be said to be the strength of the Great Qing State and the Ming Army desperately fighting.

Nominally, the Qing Dynasty still has an army of more than 200,000 people, including more than 90,000 people in the Eight Banners, which is the foundation of the Qing Dynasty and the most elite army, with more than 80,000 people in the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and more than 20,000 people in the Eight Banners of Mongolia.

Except for the Manchurian Eight Banners, which can be completely relied on, the rest of the Han Eight Banners and the Mengba Banners, I am afraid that they cannot do too much to expect, especially the Han Eight Banners of more than 80,000 people, and their morale is extremely low.

However, the situation has reached this point, and Huang Taiji is also going to let it out.

After the arrangements were completed, Huang Taiji left behind Daishan, Zilharang, Dolgon, and Azig and other banner owners of the Eight Banners.

Huang Taiji knows whether his own arrangements and deployments can be implemented, the focus is still on these flag owners, although Huang Taiji has tried his best to rectify the Eight Banners, but in the eyes of the Eight Banner Sergeants, there are only flag owners, and there is no emperor There are still varying degrees of existence, if these flag owners can't make up their minds, then this battle will not be able to continue.

Huang Taiji unexpected situation appeared again, although Huang Taiji had made arrangements and deployments, but Azig still proposed to move the capital, the reason is to avoid the edge of the Ming army, Azig believes that it is unwise for the Eight Banners Army to fight with the Ming army east of the Liao River, if the battle east of the Liao River fails, then Shenyang will be in a situation where it cannot be defended, and the deployment of the Eight Banners Army is scattered, so that the Ming army can be broken individually.

Daishan and Dorgon still supported Azig's opinion.

Huang Taiji's dizziness was dizzy, and his face was already iron-blue.

After holding back his anger, Huang Taiji said a few simple words, that is, it must be implemented according to the deployment just now.

When Huang Taiji turned to leave the main hall, there was no expression on the faces of Daishan, Dolgon, and Azig, while Zilharang and Haug showed anger.

The contradictions of the Great Qing State finally broke out at a critical moment, which is a very fatal thing, after all, the Great Qing Kingdom is already in great danger, what is needed at this time is to unite and work hard externally, as for the internal contradictions, they can be slowly resolved after the crisis has passed.

It's a pity that Huang Taiji has struggled to do this. (To be continued.) )
