Ming politicians

Chapter 1043 Looking Ahead

While everyone was waiting silently, Su Tiancheng finally turned around.

There was a relaxed expression on Su Tiancheng's face. Seeing such an expression, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. This shows that Su Tiancheng has already thought about the countermeasures, or figured out the problem. As for what the problem is, as long as Su Tiancheng Once Tian Cheng opened his mouth, everyone would know.

"Two days ago, the North Korean envoy Li Xuanji came to see me. I didn't pay attention to it. I almost overlooked a major event. Fortunately, Qu Qingze got the information from Li Xuanji. As for the adjustment of the post-Gold Tartars, all of you Now that I know it, I won’t repeat it, after a whole day of analysis, I finally figured out some things.”

"Dorgon was transferred to Haizhou, and Jierhalang was transferred to Liaodong. This shows that Huang Taiji's overall deployment has not changed. The Liaodong direction will not launch an offensive. It is still defensive. This is understandable, and it also shows that Huang Taiji is very serious. Sober, so many years have passed, whether it is Nurhachi or Huang Taiji, they have stumbled in front of the Guanning Jin defense line in Liaodong. Today, in Liaodong, our Daming frontier army is even stronger, and Huang Taiji will not be so stupid Hit an egg with a rock."

"As for the fact that I don't think a large-scale attack will be launched in the direction of Haizhou, this is due to the judgment of the strength of the troops. The Houjin Tatars want to defend Liaodong and also plan to launch an attack in Haizhou. They are not that big yet. However, Huang Taiji arranged for Dorgon to come to Haizhou. Obviously, he has not changed his original intention. When the time is right in the future, the attack will still be launched from Haizhou. Dorgon is brave and good at fighting. , is good at attacking, and will not be transferred to Haizhou in vain."

"I've always wondered why Huang Taiji made such an adjustment. You all know that Daishan went to Mongolia. Obviously, he is going to launch an attack from Mongolia. From this point of view, the focus of Huang Taiji's attack must be Mongolia. The direction is right, but I thought about it for a long time and denied this possibility. The Mongolian tribes live scattered, and the Mongolian Eight Banners are also scattered in various places, and the Mongolian grassland lacks food. To feed so many troops, it depends on the supply of various tribes. It’s going to Mongolia, thinking that it’s impossible to hold the Eight Banners of Mongolia in a short period of time. Unless Daishan rushes to Mongolia with a lot of food and grass.”

"The grassland is vast and sparsely populated. The influence of the Later Jin Dynasty on the grassland has long been destroyed. On the surface, the Mongolian Eight Banners are the most powerful army on the grassland. In fact, the armies of the Xibe and Daur tribes are not Weaker than the Mongolian Eight Banners. It can completely resist the attack of the Mongolian Eight Banners, even if it is assisted by the soldiers of the Zhenghong Banner and the Bordered Red Banner led by Daishan. The Datong Frontier Army is not vegetarian, and the biggest shortcoming of the Manchu Eight Banners and the Mongolian Eight Banners is that they are not good at attacking the city. Pulling out the stronghold, since they want to launch an attack, they will inevitably attack the city, using their own weaknesses to counter each other's strengths. Huang Taiji is not so stupid."

"Thinking of this, I was very confused. I even thought that my judgment was wrong. I should have made persistent efforts and attacked Yaozhou directly. Taking Yaozhou City will give us greater confidence, even if the post-Golden Tartars all come together." We will be able to deal with it more calmly.”

"However, I still insisted on my own ideas. I know Huang Taiji well. At this time, Huang Taiji will definitely find a way, and he will never sit still. That way, the rich and powerful will not agree. Thinking of this, I started Now let’s analyze other possibilities, since Dorgon has come to Haizhou, there is always something to do, so when is the timing?"

"So I thought of what Li Xuanji said. The number of Japanese people going to North Korea suddenly increased, and there was no warning. But at this time, Li Xuanji rushed to the court, representing the stupid king of North Korea, and asked the emperor to withdraw from Pyongyang. The Ming army, the Japanese in North Korea must know about such an important matter. What would they think? The Japanese invaded North Korea more than 40 years ago and were defeated by our Ming army. Will they be unconvinced now? Woolen cloth."

"Yesterday I analyzed several outstanding Japanese generals with you, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Although they are said to be dead, do you know an allusion about them? If the cuckoo wants to sing the cuckoo, the methods of the three are different. What Oda Nobunaga said is that if the cuckoo does not speak, he will be killed. Toyotomi Hideyoshi said that if the cuckoo does not speak, he will find a way to make it Open your mouth, what Tokugawa Ieyasu said is that if the cuckoo bird does not open its mouth, it will wait for it to speak, and there is too much mystery in it.”

"Oda Nobunaga is a samurai, brave and resourceful. He is a reckless hero that we often recognize. He despised the powerful and fearless, but was eventually killed by his subordinates. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was ambitious and defeated all heroes. The end Japan was divided, but it made many enemies, and dared to covet our Ming Dynasty, and then look at Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was scheming and late blooming, unified Japan, and created the era of the shogunate."

Hong Chengchou and the others were dumbfounded. They didn't know how Su Tiancheng knew these things. The little Japan was far away in the ocean, but what Su Tiancheng said gave them a lot of insight.

"It is said that the current Japanese shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu should not have much aggressiveness. I also considered this aspect, so I was negligent. But in the past two days, I thought of many things, and I also thought of Oda Nobu. Chang, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu and others suddenly understood that some things can be achieved through their own efforts, and some things may need to rely on external forces to achieve."

"If the Houjin Tartars contact the Japanese and launch an attack from North Korea, you can all think about what will happen. Is this the opportunity for the Houjin Tartars I mentioned earlier? If such a situation occurs The thing is, has Dorgon found a breakthrough and can launch an attack from the direction of Haizhou?"

Only at this time, everyone finally understood why Su Tiancheng made so many marks on the map, and why he connected Japan and North Korea with a red line.

But this is not a good thing. North Korea asked the Ming army to withdraw from Pyongyang. Under such circumstances, if the Japanese pirates attacked North Korea, wouldn't there be a big problem? Why would there be a smile on Su Tiancheng's face?

Hong Chengchou couldn't bear it, and spoke first.

"The commander-in-chief's analysis, my subordinates think it is far-sighted. It seems that the focus of the Houjin Tartar's attack is still in the direction of Haizhou. The purpose is to target our Jiangning camp. But if the Japanese pirates attack North Korea, wouldn't it increase the huge threat?" Trouble, Xuanzhou and other places will inevitably be affected and distract the commander-in-chief's attention."

Why there is a smile on Su Tiancheng's face is not something that Hong Chengchou and others can understand. In this era, the Ming Dynasty is still one of the centers of the world, and Little Japan is nothing at all, but it is also from this era that Little Japan From the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, Japan admired the Han culture and surrendered to the Han nation. However, after the Yuan Dynasty overthrew the Song Dynasty, the Japanese mentality began to change. They believed that the Han culture no longer existed. Because he defeated Kublai Khan's army that conquered Japan, he became arrogant. In the Ming Dynasty, Toyotomi Hideyoshi even thought of ruling the Central Plains, and chose North Korea as a breakthrough point, and was defeated by the Ming army.

But this ambition has continued until hundreds of years later.

Su Tiancheng has always had a knot in his heart. He wanted to punish the Japanese severely, but unfortunately he couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Now that the opportunity is coming, he must be happy. Su Tiancheng is very rational. If you think that you can easily conquer or destroy a nation, don’t think about doing that. You will never be able to succeed. No matter how powerful you are, you can’t completely conquer a nation, but you can teach a nation a lesson and let this nation Fearing you and admiring you is completely possible. Facing a nation like Japan, it is necessary to use iron and blood methods to make them fear and fear.

Of course, this is Su Tiancheng's inner thoughts, no one can know, even Hong Chengchou, Qu Qingze and others who have been by Su Tiancheng's side for many years, it is impossible to know such thoughts.

"Hong Chengchou is right. From the current point of view, this kind of thing is indeed a big trouble, but it can be confirmed that the Jin Tartars colluded with other races and invaded my Huaxia. I remember Han Wudi said a word, offend me. Those who are far away will be punished, but this sentence can't be more appropriate when applied to Japanese pirates."

Hong Chengchou and the others gasped. They never imagined that Su Tiancheng had such far-reaching thoughts and plans.

"Marshal, this subordinate thinks that this sentence is the same for Houjin Tartars."

Su Tiancheng looked at Qu Qingze, smiled and spoke.

"It's not the same. Hou Jin used to be my Ming's subjects, but they chose the road of rebellion. We conquered the Hou Jin Tartars to recover the lost territory, to make the Manchus obey the leadership of the court, and to make the Manchus obey the imperial court's leadership. Completely surrender, speaking of it, the Manchus are also my Ming people, but they have forgotten their roots, you must know that Lord Lu Shanji, Minister of the Ministry of War, is a Mongol, and he is also an official of our dynasty."

Everyone's concern quickly shifted to how to deal with the Japanese. Although it is said that the Japanese invaded North Korea, it may not happen. At this time, Su Tiancheng once again put forward a different understanding. He believed that Japan might invade Korea. North Korea is just a prediction. If such a situation really happens, it will not be too late to deal with it.

Qu Qingze vaguely understood what Su Tiancheng was thinking. The Japanese invasion of North Korea was not necessarily a bad thing. It's a pot with Japan, let these two peoples submit to the Ming Dynasty, and let them dare not have different opinions from generation to generation. (to be continued..)
