Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 202 Prince Rui Dorgon
  In the battle of Anshanyi, more than a thousand Jurchen soldiers were beheaded, and treasures and people were harvested. This was the first achievement in Liaodong. In Zu Dale's own opinion, he could already grasp it.

"All the prisoners of war were beheaded. Those Jurchens had no desire to fight. Facing my elite cavalry, they did not dare to resist at all. They just walked away and collapsed at the first touch. If Erden hadn't oiled the soles of his feet, he would have allowed his slaves and family members to do it. The human shield blocks the offensive. I have already captured Jianzhou Niulu and brought him to the Haizhou Guard."

Judging from Zu Dalue's description, the Eight Banners soldiers and horses in Liaodong have lost their fighting spirit. Facing more than a thousand enemies, the Jurchens in the nearby Liaoyang City do not dare to go out to fight. In this way, Liaoyang City Isn't it easy?
  After listening to Zu Dale's words, Zu Dashou sat on the chair, frowning and saying nothing.

He seemed to be thinking about something.

"Brother, when can we launch a formal attack on Jianzhou? We can't wait until the Jurchens mobilize their troops and set up their positions before starting the attack, right?" Zu Dale took a sip of herbal tea and said angrily.

"Do you think you're intimidated?" Zu Dashou looked at his younger brother's expression and finally spoke.

Zu Dale stared at him: "If the Duke of Lang was faced with this situation, he would definitely say that he would not be able to live with me! Nowadays, the officials are getting bigger and bigger, but they are becoming more and more courageous. Too young. I see that even the current Duke of Lang is hampered by the cautious thoughts of the civil servants in the imperial court."

"My brother, be careful what you say!" Zu Dashou glared at his younger brother, and then said: "Duke Lang is in charge, so you must not be disrespectful!"

"This battle is extremely important," Zu Dashou looked at his younger brother: "If we win this battle in Liaodong, my ancestral family will be rooted here for more than a hundred years, just like the Mu Prince's Mansion. If we lose, we will be People are uprooting, carving up and nibbling away, so we have to be careful, do you understand?"

The history of the development and rise of the ancestral family can be said to be the history of the development of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty.

Since the fifth year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, Zu Dashou's ancestors moved to Ningyuan City, Liaodong, the ancestral family has been reproducing here for generations. The ancestral family has inherited the Ningyuan Guard military position and has been continuously promoted, becoming a prominent family in Ningyuan. In the Wanli period, Zu Dashou's father began to follow Li Chengliang, the chief military officer of Liaodong and Ningyuan Bo, attacked Mongolia, North Korea and other places, and continuously awarded military honors and accumulated military merits. At that time, the ancestor family began to become one of the best families in Liaodong, and Zu Dashou also began to rise among the young generals in Liaodong. .

In general, the ancestral family struggled to absorb nutrients from the soil of war, sucked blood and knocked out the marrow, and grew rapidly.

Now, if the ancestor family wants to truly become a powerful family in the Ming Dynasty, it is bound to seize the opportunity of this decisive battle in Liaodong.

The noble person last time was Li Chengliang, this time it is Zu Dashou himself!
  Now, Zu Dashou already holds the position of chief military officer of the Jin Pioneer. Whether he can take the next step depends on how the war progresses.

So it’s not too much to be cautious.

Seeing his elder brother's serious expression, Zu Dale nodded respectfully, indicating that he had taken it to heart.

"In a few days, the Prime Minister will move to Haizhou Guard. At that time, the war will officially begin." Zu Dashou stood in front of the hall with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky in the yard, and said in a deep voice: " Don’t be anxious. At this time, the most important thing is to keep your composure!”

While the ancestral brothers of Haizhou Guard were waiting for Xiong Tingbi, the strategic minister, to enter Haizhou Guard, a fierce debate was going on in Shenyang City hundreds of miles away.

The senior officials of the Jurchen Eight Banners are discussing the upcoming war.

In the battle of Ningyuan City, the Jurchens suffered heavy casualties, especially the older generation of generals and banner holders. Hu Erhan, He Heli, Fei Yingdong and others had died along with Nurhachi, and Fan Wencheng and other Han people also died, so Daishan He ordered the rapid promotion of a group of young Jurchen generals to prepare in advance for the subsequent war.

At this time, Daishan and Jierhalang were sitting in the middle of the head. Dorgon and Duduo were younger and sat in inconspicuous positions on both sides. The other flag-bearing generals, such as Suo Hai , Duo Jili and other nobles were sitting at the bottom, while Tong Yangzhen, Li Sizhong and others with less qualifications were sitting in more peripheral positions.

"Following the early layout, all the Eight Banners tribes south of Liaoyang City have all migrated back north." Tong Yangzhen was reporting to everyone in the hall on the recent deployment of the Eight Banners in Liaodong: "Zhengbai and Xiangbai Banners are stationed in On the west side of Shenyang City, the two banners of Xianghuang and Zhenghuang are currently stationed in Fushun, while most of the Zhenglan Banner is located in Liaoyang City. The remaining three banners are all under Shenyang City." From the map, the strategic layout of the Jurchens today , but there is no sign of retreat.

As Tong Yangzhen explained, the expressions of everyone in the hall became extremely solemn.

"We want to attract all the Ming troops currently in Liaodong to the plain area north of the Taizi River and south of the Hun River, with Hupiyi as the center, and surround and annihilate them!"

"Easier said than done?" Jierhalang, the leader of the Zhengbai Banner, asked with a frown.

He is not afraid of fighting the Ming army, but how can such an easy thing happen? The Ming army was not a fool, so why did they have to engage in a cavalry duel with the Jurchens on the plains?
  Judging from past experience, the Ming army, led by Wang Qi, the Duke of Nalang Kingdom, has always fought surprise attacks and defensive battles with the Jurchens, but there has never been a history of head-on confrontation.

Hearing this, Tong Yangzhen bowed to everyone in the palace: "Returning to the prince, there is a saying in the Ming Dynasty, which is to lure the enemy deeper. As far as I know, the current strategic direction of the Ming Dynasty's war against me is extremely encroaching on it step by step, and it is planned slowly."

Jirhalang knocked on the table, obviously not understanding what this meant.

Dorgon on the side seemed to understand, and tentatively said: "What Tong Jia means is to abandon Liaoyang City, let the Ming army enter my encirclement, and then attack from all sides and annihilate them together?"

"Prince Rui is really wise! I admire you so much!" Tong Yangzhen bowed and flattered him at the same time.

Everyone in the hall listened to the conversation between Tong Yangzhen and Dorgon, and everyone was talking about it for a while.

At the time when Jianzhou's life was at stake, he had to decide whether to return to Hetuala and try to make ends meet, or to confront the Ming army head-on in order to continue to occupy the land of Liaodong in an attempt to make a comeback.

This has always been a controversial topic within the Jurchens.

The move of some Eight Banners soldiers and horses to Fushun also made everyone think that Daishan wanted to avoid the war and avoid the edge for the time being.

Now it seems that is not the case.

Everyone turned to look at Prince Li Daishan who was in the upper position.

"This battle will turn the tide and reestablish our Jurchens' dominance in Liaodong!" Daishan, who had never spoken, stood up, looked at the crowd and said, "Let the Ming army enter the urn and lead Wang Qi into Liaodong again. , surround and annihilate them!"

"twitter!"

Everyone in the hall suddenly made a promise.
