I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 139 The old slave makes a plan (please subscribe)

Zhu Youxiao got the answer he wanted. Seeing that Zou Yi was still insisting, he didn't want to talk to him.

"Okay, that's it. It's getting late, so please kneel down."

After saying that, they walked towards the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace without looking back. He Ning and Zhang Chang knew that they had offended the two bosses of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, so they had no choice but to look at them and follow Zhu Youxiao. After entering, only Wei Zhongxian and Wei Zhongxian were left looking at each other.

Seeing the emperor entering Qianqing Palace, Zou Yi stood up with the support of others. He looked at Wei Zhongxian coldly, very dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian's surrender just now.

"Eunuch Wei, if there is no result in this matter, it will be difficult in the future. The old man is about to retire anyway, so I will leave such troublesome matters to you in the future."

Wei Zhongxian's heart was calm. He didn't know why he became the admiral of Dongchang. As long as his sword was sharp and useful to the emperor, he would be fine.

It's just that He Ning and Zhang Chang, who he didn't care about before, now have to pay attention to them.

In the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.

As soon as Zhu Youxiao entered, He Ning and Zhang Chang knelt down on the ground to apologize.

"Thank you, Lord Long Live, for your kindness. The two of us have wronged Lord Long Live."

"Okay, okay, you are my people, of course I have to protect you, you can just do your job well from now on."

He and Ning felt very warm in their hearts after hearing this. They thought that their master was really considerate, and they kowtowed in emotion.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said he shouldn't be too harsh on the people around him, because even a dog would still develop feelings after being together for a long time, let alone a human being.

To put it in perspective, they take care of your food and daily life, and they also know your secrets. If you mistreat them, it is possible for them to be resentful and attack you. There are many such examples in history.

"It's Chinese New Year, have you guys gone to Wang An's house to see if they're sick or not?"

Zhu Youxiao suddenly remembered that Wang An was here. After he was ordered to recuperate, there was no news from him.

"My ancestor is in much better health, and he has been thinking about His Majesty. If our ancestor knew that Long Live Lord still cares about him, he would be very happy."

Zhang Chang was an honest man. He took He Ning to see Wang An during the Chinese New Year. Now when he heard Zhu Youxiao asked about Wang An, his eyes suddenly became moist.

"Wang An is a nice person, and he is still loyal to me, but he has used it wrongly. In the past few days, you have picked out a few old wild ginseng and given them to him so that he can take good care of himself. You should also take this as a warning and know what to do and what not to do. .”

Zhu Youxiao said with a subtle expression and pointed at the two of them with his hands.

Hearing that Wang An was in good health, Zhu Youxiao nodded and asked them to retreat.He was tired after playing all day today, so he took a shower and changed clothes under the service of the palace maid, and took a rest early.

Zhu Youxiao slept comfortably here, but Zhang Anning couldn't sleep all night in the past few days.

After the failed sneak attack on Shenyang on New Year's Eve, Zhang Anning and Zhang Hong pulled Yue Tuan, who was covered in blood, withdrew. Although the Ming army had not yet pursued them, they set out lightly for the sneak attack and carried very little supplies and medicine, so they could only rush. Load the wounded onto ice trucks and retreat, hoping to meet up with Nurhachi's army.

Fortunately, this time they were all the elites of the Three Banners, and the retreat was in an orderly manner. The Ming army did not dare to block it rashly, and they quickly met Nurhachi's army the next day.

In the past few days, Zhang Anning had to take care of Yue Tuan and pull the ice truck on the road. He was not allowed to rest all day long, which made him really tortured.Thanks to his care, Yue Tuo was able to turn the corner and his wounds healed a lot, otherwise he would have been crying without tears.

In the main tent of the Qing army, the atmosphere was solemn and silent.

Nurhachi was bound to win this expedition, so he brought over Eyidu, Anfeiyanggu (in charge of military affairs), and Huerhan (chief of the bodyguard) among the five ministers.There are also two bele Amin, three bele Mang Gurtai, and four bele Huang Taiji who are also brought out. It can be said that the elite must come out, and they can only succeed and cannot fail.

And in order to be able to meet Daishan, they marched day and night, just to provide early support to Daishan who captured Shenyang.

But he never expected to hear the bad news that Daishan's sneak attack failed on the way here.

"I ask my father to punish me. It is because my son and ministers were not well prepared, and the Ming army discovered the elaborate work in the city, which led to this great defeat."

Seeing Daishan's defeat, Huang Taiji was heartbroken. He must know that his Zhengbai Banner elites were also among the losers. However, as the proposer of the plan, he had to stand up and accept the blame immediately, and then knelt down to wait for Nurhachi's disposal.

Looking at Daishan and Huang Taiji kneeling on the ground, Nurhachi felt full of regret. He had never been a dangerous soldier. Every time, he would let the enemy troops divide their forces, and he would assemble heavy troops to surround and annihilate them.

Maybe the previous victories in Fushun and Tieling made him feel lucky. He felt that the Ming army's defenses were very lax and they would succeed in every sneak attack. Unexpectedly, he relaxed his mind and led to this disaster.

Now he knew that the matter had reached this point and was irreversible. He thought that now was not the time to punish him. Seeing that the two of them could not afford to apologize, he said:
"Daishan, how is Yue Tuan doing now?"

"Father Khan, Yue Tuo was brave in this battle. He led [-] vanguards and was almost attacked at the city gate. It was a pity that he met that bastard from Wula tribe, otherwise he would have been able to break through the city gate. However, Yue Tuo was also seriously injured. Fortunately, he was attacked The eighth brother was saved by his Han dressing, and he is no longer seriously injured."

Nurhachi was immediately relieved when he heard that Yue Tuo was fine. He still liked his grandson Yue Tuan, so he naturally didn't want anything to happen to him.

"It's Ulanala Heshun. I heard him running to the Ming court a long time ago. If I had known, I would have killed them all." He said and looked at Huang Taiji.

"We must be rewarded for our merits. Since that Han Baoyi saved my grandson, then Huang Taiji, please watch and reward that Baoyi well, and don't let the people below feel cold."

Huang Taiji felt happy and nodded in agreement.

"Get up. When I employ people now, I won't punish you for the time being. I will ask you to serve your crimes and make a decision after the war."

Mang Gurtai had long been dissatisfied with Daishan and Huang Taiji. Now seeing that Nurhachi did not blame him, he immediately stood up to speak. However, when Nurhaci glared at him, he immediately shrank and did not dare to get up with a drooped face.

This matter is settled, the next step is to discuss what to do now.

Nurhachi glanced at everyone and asked with a serious expression.

"The Shenyang raid did not succeed, and now we have deployed all our main forces. In Han Chinese terms, we are now in a dilemma, so let's discuss what to do now."

Everyone looked at each other, Eyidu, Anfeiyanggu and Huerhan were all silent. They were only responsible for fighting, and they only had to listen to Nurhachi on what to do.As for opinions, just listen to the four Baylors.

Daishan had just finished fighting and knew Shenyang's defense best, so he spoke first.

"Father Khan, after this battle in Shenyang, most of the fences outside the city were burned down by flames. The Ming army was suddenly attacked and their morale plummeted. At this time, we will lead a large army to attack Shenyang and we will definitely defeat it in one fell swoop."

"My son, please lead the two flags of Zhenghong and Xianghong as the vanguard again to capture Shenyang to avenge yesterday's revenge."

Daishan originally wanted to make meritorious deeds during this sneak attack, but now that he had lost everything, he became even more eager to make meritorious deeds.

"Dabeile's words are inappropriate. The Ming army is now on guard. Shenyang is a day's journey from Fengji Fort and Hupiyi. I must have known by now that the army is being prepared for war. Tomorrow, that old thief Xiong Tingbi will know , will also lead a large army to defend, I'm afraid it won't be possible to fight then."

Mang Gurtai actually didn't want to fight. Although he was not afraid of Houjin's field battle, he couldn't hold back the Ming army in the city and fought a decisive battle. What if they lost.

"Mang Gurtai, you are afraid of a mere defeat. You are still not a man."

When Dai Shan saw that Mang Gurtai was unwilling to go, he was immediately furious. This man was usually at odds with him, and he was even more rude to his brother. Now that he saw that he had failed, he was probably secretly happy.

As soon as this statement came out, Mang Gurtai immediately wanted to refute.

"Okay, how can the noisy discussions in the army be inappropriate? In fact, what Mang Gurtai said is right. The Ming army has now realized that it is not easy for me to attack the enemy's defenders."

Nurhaci's words made sense. Eyidu, Anfeiyanggu and others also nodded their heads. Daishan was silent after hearing this.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Nurhachi looked at Huang Taiji.

"Among my sons, you are the most thoughtful and have the best ideas. Please tell me what to do now."

Huang Taiji already had an idea in his mind. He thought for a moment and then stepped out of the queue to look at Nurhachi.

"Amma, if my son is still the same, this battle must be fought. There was a severe drought in Liaodong last year, and our food rations could only last until June. In the east, Nei Khalkha, where we live for water and grass, is difficult to plunder. To the north, there are deep mountains and dense forests. It's also bitterly cold and difficult to walk, even more so.

Although the land in North Korea to the west is fertile, there is also plenty of food.But for one thing, we have just made peace with Lord Gwanghae of North Korea. He has agreed not to help the Ming Dynasty attack us. If we plunder now, wouldn’t it push North Korea towards the Ming Dynasty? Furthermore, even if we are not afraid of North Korea falling to the Ming Dynasty, we will not be afraid of it. Once troops were sent to plunder North Korea, what would happen if the Ming Dynasty saw the situation and attacked. "

Huang Taiji did not object outright, but directly analyzed the situation for Nurhachi. This in-depth analysis made everyone nod their heads, and they had to accept Huang Taiji's strategic vision.

"Therefore, this is not a question of whether to fight, but a question of whether we must fight and how to fight. Although we, Dajin, are on the offensive, we are still constrained everywhere. The Ming Dynasty still has the strength to fight. We can only capture Shenyang in one battle. Even if we win Liaoyang, my situation in Dajin will be brighter and brighter, allowing me to do whatever I want."

Daishan secretly applauded after hearing this. As expected, this eighth brother had read a lot of Chinese books and spoke eloquently.

Huang Taiji is not finished yet and continues to analyze.

"As for what you said, Ama, I will defend and I will attack. Actually, there is no need to worry. Because I am attacking, we have the final say on where to attack.

The Shenyang garrison could only fight with 5000 servants such as He Shixian, and the rest were not of concern.

As long as we hold back the reinforcements from Fengji Fort and Hupiyi, prevent them from entering Shenyang City, and induce them to fight in the field, the Ming army will definitely not be a match for our Eight Banners soldiers. Field battles will determine the world, and then Shenyang will not be a concern. "

Huang Taiji spoke eloquently, and Nurhachi kept nodding. It is true. It is not a question of whether to fight, but a question of whether to fight or how to fight.

After taking Huang Taiji's reassurance, Nurhachi immediately ordered the entire army to attack and set up camp at Limu City on the north bank of the Hun River, seven miles east of Shenyang City tomorrow, to test Shenyang first.
