I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 85 To fight or not to fight

Huang Taiji also looked troubled, and he didn't understand Xiong Tingbi's series of actions.News came some time ago that an imperial envoy named Yang had arrived. He was very powerful. He started fighting corruption as soon as he arrived. Many people were arrested by him, which made the Zhang family start to be cautious.

But then, for some reason, the fight against corruption suddenly turned into ransacking homes and arresting spies, which left him confused. It wasn't until he received a tip from Liaoyang Xizuo yesterday that he knew the whole story.

"Ama, nothing happened at first, but the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty got the news from nowhere, and actually sent the Jin Yiwei to Liaodong to investigate. The Zhang family was not careful in doing things, and the Jin Yiwei caught them when they missed a flaw, and that's why the house was ransacked. ."

"I have also heard that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not depose Xiong Tingbi because of other people's opinions. Instead, he trusted him more and allocated a lot of food and salary to Xiong Tingbi. Xiong Tingbi also took this opportunity to ask some wealthy families in Liaodong to donate land for Farm the fields and lower the price of food.”

Nurhachi had already known this news, and he couldn't help but sneered:
"It seems that the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty is much better than his father and grandfather. This kid still has some abilities, but now I think this Liao man is unreliable. Xiong Tingbi has not been dismissed. I am afraid of attacking the Ming Dynasty next year. , He Shixian and others will continue to be unable to escape."

Nurhachi talked about today's topic. The original plan was to attack the Ming Dynasty after Xiong Tingbi left office and the new governor had an unstable foothold and had Liao people as support, and captured Shenyang in one fell swoop. It would be best to capture Liaoyang and break through. deadlock.

It's just that now this situation has been broken because of Zhu Youxiao's layout, causing Nurhachi to wonder whether to fight next year or not.

He turned his attention to everyone, and finally stopped at Li Yongfang. He was a surrendered general and was very familiar with the situation in the Ming Dynasty. Nurhachi also wanted to hear his opinion.

Li Yongfang saw Nurhaci looking at him, so he raised his hands and said:
"Great Khan, it has become a fact that the Zhang family has been captured. In my opinion, although the current situation is like this, the Ming Dynasty's strength and deployment are already clear to me. The generals and soldiers have not changed, and their strength has not increased much. It is completely Don't worry.

As for being unable to get out, don't worry. The Shenyang commander He Shixian is a heavy drinker. He likes to lead his troops to attack every time he drinks. This was the case during the siege of Puhe last time. Xiong Tingbi also had a headache for this. This is something we can do. Take advantage of the opportunity.

Now Xiong Tingbi's behavior will only make the Liaodong clan hate him even more. Besides, it is not the Zhang family who delivered the information to me, Dai Jin. If I write to them again, there will definitely be someone willing to contact me, Dai Jin. "

Now anyone can persuade Nurhachi to think twice about attacking the Ming Dynasty, except Li Yongfang. His identity as a Han Chinese is too sensitive.But if there is anyone who is most willing to let Hou Jin win, it is none other than Li Yongfang. He was the first side general of Hou Jin to surrender in the Ming Dynasty. He knew very well that he had already registered with the court and wanted to go back. I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult.

Li Yongfang's words made Nurhachi feel a little relieved. There were many people in the Ming Dynasty, and there was no shortage of people who wanted to eat in and out. If the Zhang family was gone, it would be okay to find a few more small families.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."

"Amma, I feel that Xiong Tingbi has not left his post, but if the Ming Dynasty has been holding on and cannot come out, Liaoyang Fengji Fortress has high walls and thick walls, and now there is no internal response, so it will be difficult to attack.

I think it is better to go north to attack Inner Khalkha Mongolia than to do this. Zasai Taiji has been captured by us for so long, and he is still dissatisfied with us. Although Inner Khalkha has formed an alliance with us, the Zalut tribe still often They robbed our country’s envoys and robbed their property and livestock.

Only by attacking Inner Khalkha and completely defeating them can we connect with Horqin and invade the Western Liaoning Corridor through Inner Khalkha, so that Xiong Tingbi can't see each other. "

Unexpectedly, as soon as Huang Taiji's idea came up, he was immediately opposed by Erbel Amin, the leader of the Xianglan Banner. "Don't sweat. It's not that we can't defeat Inner Khalkha. It's easy to defeat them. But Xiong Tingbi also knows their importance, so he treats them very well. If we attack, Xiong Tingbi will send people to attack Fushun and even harass Sarhu. Not a bad idea.

They are at the opposite ends of the spectrum, and they are nomadic, living in pursuit of water and grass. If we can't defeat them, they can escape far away. I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money and push them into the arms of the Ming Dynasty. "

This made Huang Taiji a little confused, and he cursed A Min for being confused.

His relationship with Amin was not good to begin with. Amin was the second son of Nurhachi's brother Shuerhaqi, because his biological father Shuerhaqi had betrayed Nurhaci, which led to his brother Altong'a and his brother Zhasaktu He was killed, and his father Shuerhaqi was imprisoned until death. Only Amin escaped death and was raised in Nurhachi.

But before he could refute, he heard that Sanbeile Mang Gurtai also came out to support Amin.The two of them didn't know what Huang Taiji was thinking. It was not because the Eight Banners soldiers had no pay and had to provide their own weapons and food.Attacking the Ming Dynasty has a population and wealth that can be plundered, and the benefits are huge.Inner Khalkha is a group of poor people who have little to gain from, so they naturally don't want to.

This idea also exposed the problems of Houjin's war. What they were good at was fighting to support war. Only by continuous looting could they strengthen themselves. The most feared was a war of attrition without oil and water.

In the past attacks on Tieling and Fushun, they took advantage of the Ming army's lack of preparation and their own intelligence advantage. However, recently the Ming army has also slowed down under Xiong Tingbi's arrangements. This year's siege of Puhe caused some losses to it. Now if Then attack Fengjibao and Shenyang. There are many Ming troops stationed in these places, so I am afraid it will be difficult to fight.

"Amma, if we don't attack Inner Khalkha, I, Dajin, will be like a tethered tiger, and will be slowly trapped by the Ming Dynasty. This is also Xiong Tingbi's clever plan. Only by going north to open a gap can we survive. "

Nurhaci deeply agreed with Huang Taiji's words, but as a khan, he must think from the overall perspective and not just look at one side, so he turned his attention to the chief minister He Heli. Couldn't understand more.

He Heli also knew what Nurhachi meant, and replied:
"Khan, there is a severe drought this year. Since the autumn harvest and the plundering proceeds, excluding the seeds for next spring's plowing, my Dajin grain can still be used for six months."

"Six months. It's November now, so it can last until April next year. Water plants are rare in winter now. If we attack at this time, we will definitely succeed."

Huang Taiji was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately offered words of persuasion. However, He Heli's words immediately extinguished his hopes.

"Khan, don't forget that the handsome Ubashi is still in the hands of Lin Dan Khan."

As soon as these words came out, Huang Taiji was alert and looked embarrassed.

For Hou Jin, attacking Inner Khalkha was a small matter because there was a larger force behind Inner Khalkha, and that was Lindan Khan, the last great Khan of Mongolia.
