I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 551: North then South (first update)
Early the next morning, the three cabinet ministers Liu Yishen, as well as the Minister of Hubu Wang Yingjiao, the Minister of Personnel Zhao Nanxing, the Minister of War Wang Zaijin and others arrived at the Qianqing Palace early to wait for the emperor's summons.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Everyone loves to be flat."

Zhu Youxiao immediately asked Zhang Chang to take a seat.

"You must have read Xiong Tingbi's title book. Now Chen Liangbi has won the first battle and captured Mang Gurtai, the leader of the Jianlu banner, which has really boosted the momentum of our army. Now Lin Danhan and Aer Zhai have sent a message to Xiong Tingbi, wanting to Send troops to help.

When the time comes, when they send out troops, our army will advance in two directions, so that the Jianlu people cannot see each other.Therefore, Xiong Tingbi discussed with Chen Liangbi and others and formulated a new plan to deal with Jianlu. I believe you all know it. "

Liu Yishen and others nodded slowly. They came here today to discuss this matter.However, when the cabinet, the Military Aircraft Department and others discussed the matter yesterday, there were great differences on this matter.

After Chen Liangbi captured Fushun last month, he did not choose to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly. Instead, he chose to station troops in Fushun. While repairing the Fushun Great Wall and planning to defend it for a long time, he sent cavalry to harass the captives and contain the main force of the captives.

He Shixian, the commander-in-chief of Shenyang, led his troops northward, leaving Puhesuo and marching towards Tieling.Now it has conquered the forts around Tieling and stationed troops under Tieling City, looking to take advantage of the situation to capture Tieling.

It's just that Amin's blue-inlaid flag is stationed in Tieling City. Its combat power is indeed quite powerful, so it may not be easy to conquer it easily.Therefore, Xiong Tingbi ordered Chen Liangbi to send Zhejiang Camp to support, hoping to use the power of Zhejiang Camp to conquer Tieling.

From this, Xiong Tingbi's combat plan is clear at a glance, which is to pursue the strategy of north first and then south.

On the one hand, Chen Liangbi was asked to guard Fushun and contain the main force of Jianlu.At the same time, He Shixian was asked to lead people to capture Tieling and Kaiyuan.He Shixian and Chen Liangbi then combined to attack Sarhu, waiting for an opportunity to fight Nurhaci.

Such a plan was repeatedly planned by Xiong Tingbi, Chen Liangbi and others, and it was also the safest. First north and then south, first easy and then difficult, and it was easier to do.

But there are two key points in this plan.

One is that the Beijing camp must stabilize in Fushun and work hard to contain Nurhachi's main force. He must not be allowed to leave or be defeated by the Jianlu.If the Beijing camp cannot defend Fushun, He Shixian, who goes north to attack Tieling, will easily be cut off. He will not be able to leave even if he wants to. What awaits him is disaster.

But Tingbi, Chen Liangbi and others also understood this very well, so they made up their minds to prevent the Beijing camp from leaving. The Beijing camp army stationed troops in Fushun and dragged Nurhachi away without fighting.

Xiong Tingbi and Yang Lian will also do their best to ensure the logistical supplies of the Beijing camp and reduce Chen Liangbi's worries.

Regarding this matter, Zhu Youxiao was not worried. The firearms of the Beijing camp were very elite. They relied on the Fushun Great Wall as a defense. As long as they did not take the initiative to attack, Nurhaci would have no chance.

What he was worried about was He Shixian and others. After all, he was facing Huang Taiji and Amin's Zhengbai Qi and Xianglan Qi. Although Zhengbai Qi suffered from a rough and rough situation, Xianglan Qi was both elite and capable.

According to reports from Xiong Tingbi and others, there were 5000 troops in Jianlu Tieling and Kaiyuan.They relied on Tieling's defense, and it was still difficult for He Shixian to conquer it.

What's more important is that Huang Taiji is in Kaiyuan. Although his Zhengbai Banner was severely damaged by the Beijing camp and suffered countless casualties, Zhu Youxiao still did not dare to underestimate him.

After all, history has proven that Huang Taiji's strategic vision and ability are superb. His ability far exceeds that of his father Nurhaci, especially his overall strategic outlook.

Historically, when he succeeded to the throne, the political environment of Jianlu was at the level of hell, extremely bad.

Jianlu was riddled with problems and internal crises.The external situation was isolated, surrounded by the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia, and North Korea.Due to the internal conflicts between the decentralized forces of the aristocracy, the conflicts between the Manchu and Han Dynasties were numerous and could not be resolved.

However, after he succeeded to the throne, he eased the internal conflicts between the Manchu and Han Dynasties, learned from the Ming Dynasty's bureaucratic reform, and also opened the imperial examination to recruit scholars, established the Eight Banners of the Han people, and at the same time reemployed the Han people to build artillery.

Later, there were two Eastern Expeditions, forcing North Korea to sever diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty and declare vassalage to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It forced North Korea to import rice, cloth and other annual tribute to the Jin Dynasty every year, which gave the Manchu Qing Dynasty's fragile economy a blood transfusion.

Subsequently, he launched many Western Expeditions, wooing those who followed and suppressing those who rebelled. He destroyed Chahar, subdued Tumote, and completed control of Monan Mongolia. Then he took the risk of launching the "Ji Si Change" to break the Ming Dynasty blockade.

It can be said that without Huang Taiji, Jianlu under the leadership of Nurhachi would be at best the level of Dayan Khan or Ada Khan before. Once Nurhaci died, he would be dead and fall apart.But who would have thought that Huang Taiji was so capable that he could single-handedly reverse the situation of Jianlu and transform Jianlu from a tribal state into a centralized feudal country with military and political integration. It also played a decisive role in the Manchu Qing's eventual entry into the Pass. His talents and achievements are far superior to those of the later saint ancestor Kangxi, so there is no other Shiquan Dabu Pill.

Therefore, even if Huang Taiji is now single and weak, and even if there are only more than 1 Jianlu troops in the Tieling and Kaiyuan directions, Zhu Youxiao still feels vaguely uneasy, always feeling that something unexpected will happen.

"Your Majesty, I think this plan is very good. It is step by step and carefully considered. What's more important is that now the situation has reversed, it is easier to form an encirclement against the Jianlu. In the past, the only tribes that united with the Jianlu were the Horqin and the Bahrain tribe of Inner Khalkha. . But since the victory at Niuzhuangbao, the Bahrain and Horqin tribes have also lost troops and generals.

So after they captured Fushun in the capital camp and captured Mang Gurtai, the two groups even sent envoys to Liaoyang to request their surrender.Now Lin Dan Khan and Alzhai Taiji have sent troops to help. When the time comes, they will station troops in Tieling and the west of Kaiyuan.Huang Taiji, Amin and others cannot escape. "

Seeing the emperor's inquiry, Liu Yishen was the first to stand up and express his position. This was the safest thing for Xiong Tingbi to do.

But as soon as he said this, Ye Xianggao stood up immediately. Obviously he had different opinions.

"Your Majesty, although Lin Dan Khan and the Weng Jishit tribe have been supported by the imperial court, and although they seem to be favored by the emperor, they have always shied away from sending troops. Now that our Ming army is becoming more powerful, Horqin and the Bahrain tribe have also sent envoys After surrendering, they all want to get a share of the pie. But the more this happens, the more vigilant you have to be. Lin Danhan and Alzhai are so impatient. If there is a fraud in this, it will be troublesome. "

"Mr. Ye Ge is really worried. The current situation is like this. If Horqin and the Bahrain tribe dare to collude with Jianlu Han again, then they will wait until my army approaches and clear out their holes. We will see if they dare to fight against each other."

Seeing Ye Xianggao's doubts, Sun Chengzong stood up and felt that Ye Xianggao was overly worried. This was also the disagreement between their cabinets. Liu Yishui also saw the situation and refuted.

"Indeed, Lin Dan Khan sent [-] troops this time, plus the [-] elites of the Ongjishit tribe, neither the Bahrain tribe nor Horqin can stop it."

But the more they talked about Zhu Youxiao, the more they felt that what Ye Xianggao said made sense. The reason was that historically Huang Taiji had suppressed Lin Danhan to fight. From Chahar to Qinghai, Lin Danhan had never fought. This is enough. It shows how far it can stretch the crotch.

So now that he heard Ye Xianggao's worries, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but nod.

"Has Lin Dan Khan sent troops?"

"Your Majesty, I, the Ming Dynasty, had an alliance with Lin Dan Khan before. Last year, Xiong Tingbi also sent an envoy to Chahar, hoping to finalize the dispatch of troops. However, Lin Dan Khan kept prevaricating and pretending to be a snake. Now that I, the Ming Dynasty, have become more powerful, Only then did we decide to send troops. According to Xiong Tingbi’s report, it was agreed to send troops on April [-]th, and the same was true for Wengjishit’s tribe.”

Upon seeing this, Liu Yishen and others quickly handed over their hands and replied. Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but become confused after hearing this.

"I have always known Lin Dan Khan. This man succeeded to the throne in the 32nd year of Wanli. He was only 13 years old at the time. However, after he succeeded to the throne, he became very ambitious. After taking the throne, he raided our borders of the Ming Dynasty several times. He was especially known as unruly, and then even more The capital city of Chahanhot (meaning "White City", located in today's Arukorqin Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia) was established, and the "Tumen Khan Code" was promulgated to bind the tribes, allowing the tribes in Monan to return to the Great Khan.

In my opinion, he can be regarded as a hero for a while, but since Nurhachi rebelled, he attracted Horqin and attacked Inner Khalkha, causing Inner Khalkha to fall apart.But he, the Mongol Khan, sat back and watched this matter, turning a blind eye to all this. Even if the Ming Dynasty spent money, he was unwilling to send troops. What exactly did this mean? How could other Mongolian tribes believe in him. "

This is actually a long-standing doubt in Zhu Youxiao's heart.

This Lin Danhan is very young, only over [-] years old now, but his ability is not small.

When he first succeeded to the throne, Mongolia was declining day by day, and the tribes of Horqin, Inner Khalkha, Tumed, and Ordos in Monan were in charge of their own affairs. As the Mongolian Great Khan, he could only control the Chahar tribe in Liaohetao.Even Mosi Oirat was still an enemy of the Mongol Empire, and even the Ming Dynasty despised it. It felt that Lin Dan Khan was "a naive heir, cowardly and not powerful" and ignored him.

However, after he came to the throne, he worked hard and sent troops several times to conquer the country, which resulted in the Horqin, Nekalka, Tumote and other tribes returning to their territory, thus consolidating his position as the Great Khan of Mongolia.But why has he become so cowardly now? Jianlu is riding on his head, and he can bear it.

Everyone present looked at each other in shock when they heard the words. Then King Zai Jin, the Minister of War, coughed slightly when he heard the words, and then slowly walked out of the queue.As Minister of War, he still knows something about Mongolia.

"Your Majesty, there is a saying among the people that the outside world does not know what is going on inside, and it can be applied here. Chahar originally had a strong military force, and Lin Dan Khan was also considered a hero for a while, and he had always been majestic.

It's just that he was young and energetic, acted too hastily, and made big mistakes, which caused chaos among the people of Chahar. Many Taiji nobles also had second thoughts about him and no longer surrendered. This is probably the reason why he was unwilling to start a war. . "
