Ming politicians

Jia Jihan's analysis attracted Huang Taiji's great attention. For a whole day, Huang Taiji was looking at the map, thinking seriously, and at the same time asked Hauge to think too. It is a great test, but Jia Jihan's analysis is too important.

In fact, after Huang Taiji made deployment adjustments, he had always been uneasy in his heart. Although the Jiangning Battalion occupied Gaizhou, judging from the superficial situation, it must have launched an attack on Yaozhou, but Jia Jihan's analysis was very instructive. Reasonably, if the Ming army launched an attack from Liaodong, Shenyang would be in danger after taking Guangning and Xiping Fort. Land, launching a large-scale offensive will not help.

In terms of the importance of location, Liaodong is far stronger than Haizhou.

Could it be that Su Tiancheng didn't think of this? Huang Taiji, who has a good understanding of Su Tiancheng, believes that Su Tiancheng will definitely consider this issue, just like Jia Jihan's analysis of eating steamed buns, eating two steamed buns in one go will be enough , anyone would make such a choice, and if I were myself, I'm afraid I would have to think about it too.

As for the focus of Su Tiancheng's first attack in the direction of Haizhou, I'm afraid it was unexpected and focused on destroying the vital forces of the Qing Dynasty. Now both sides have made sufficient preparations. Under such circumstances, Su Tiancheng It is still a bit inappropriate to choose the difficult Haizhou direction to attack.

Huang Taiji was a little annoyed, because of Duoduo's death in battle, and because of the mistake in judging the focus of the attack, he was also a little hesitant, and he couldn't think of more possibilities.

Stationed in Guangning and Xiping Fort are the Xianglan Banner of Jierhalang, as well as the Zhenghuang Banner, Xianghuang Banner and Xianglan Banner of the Han Eight Banners, among which the Zhenghong Banner and Xianghuang Banner of the Han Eight Banners are stationed in Xipingbao .All of them are mainly defensive, but those who entered Haizhou, Dorgon's Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner, and the Zhenghong Banner, Xianghong Banner, Zhengbai Banner, and Xiangbai Banner among the Han Eight Banners, the comparison of power is far from overwhelming. Far stronger than Liaodong.Huang Taiji still thought that when the opportunity came, he could launch an attack from the direction of Haizhou.

As for Liaodong's attack, I haven't thought about it for the time being. Guan Ningjin's defense line is extremely strong. Unless there is civil strife in Ming Dynasty, don't think about being able to win Guan Ningjin's defense line right now.

From this way of thinking, it is reasonable to deploy heavy troops in the direction of Haizhou.The point is still to consider the offense, and it also means to have a decisive battle with Su Tiancheng.

After thinking for a long time, Huang Taiji broke out in a cold sweat.

If Su Tiancheng launches an attack from the east of Liaodong, after taking Guangning and Xiping Fort, Shenyang will be in great danger. The army stationed in Haizhou must retreat quickly, and first of all, it must be able to protect Shenyang.The second thing is to consider the recapture of Guangning. Such a situation is really going to happen.It is almost impossible to regain Guangning, so the defense line of the Qing Dynasty may collapse completely.

The strong stimulation made Huang Taiji very excited. He thought of all kinds of possibilities and carefully read Jia Jihan's analysis.It's becoming more and more problematic.

When Hauge entered the Chongzheng Hall, it was already dark.

Huang Taiji didn't hesitate and spoke directly.

"Haug, what do you think of the intelligence analyzed by Jia Jihan?"

"Father, my son thinks that there is such a possibility. If the main force of the Ming army chooses to attack from the east of Liaodong, our defense strength is insufficient. Once the Ming army takes Guangning or Xiping Fort, Shenyang will encounter threatened."

Huang Taiji nodded, very pleased that Hauge was able to analyze these problems, slightly beyond his expectations.

What Hauge said was relatively simple. For such a major adjustment, Huang Taiji needed to think clearly. He pointed to the map and spoke.

"Haug, look at it. Xiping Fort is more than [-] miles away from Guangning, and Haizhou is more than [-] miles away from Xiping Fort. In normal times, if there is trouble anywhere, it is not a big problem for the army to reinforce it. If Xiping Fort It was captured by the Ming army. The focus of the Ming army's attack was in Liaodong. Dorgon in Haizhou could rush to help, putting the Ming army at a disadvantage. But the trouble now is that the focus of the Ming army's attack is in Liaodong. There must also be soldiers stationed in the state. Once Dorgon rushes to help Xiping Fort, there will be problems in the defense of Haizhou, and the loss of Xiping Fort will directly affect Guangning. Jierhalang, will encounter great trouble."

"Father means that the Ming army may shift the focus of their attack to Liaodong, and the first is Xiping Fort."

"That's true. I've been thinking about it for a whole day, and I feel that this possibility is very high, but it's not that simple to make a real decision. Both Haizhou and Liaodong have to be taken into account. It's obvious. , the possibility of launching an attack from the direction of Liaodong is very small. At present, there is no ability to take down the Guanning Jin line of defense. Therefore, placing too many troops in Liaodong will not be of great effect. However, if the focus of the Ming army's attack is shifted to Liaodong, Jierhalang in Liaodong will face a major test."

"My son understands the meaning of the father. The father is thinking that Prince Zheng will support him. Prince Rui will launch an attack from the direction of Haizhou. Once Gaizhou is captured, Fuzhou and Xuanzhou will be threatened. The situation in Liaodong may change."

Huang Taiji nodded and did not speak. He has never liked complete defense. In his opinion, active offense is the best defense. If the Ming army's offensive focus is on Liaodong, then Dorgon can quickly escape from Haizhou. From the perspective of time, the Japanese should have made all preparations and are about to attack North Korea. At that time, Dorgon can occupy an absolute advantage, echoing the Japanese from afar, and attacking the Jiangning camp from both sides.

Hauge's face became serious.

"Father, my son does not agree with such an arrangement."

"Well, tell me your reason."

"The location of Liaodong is too important to allow for the slightest mistake. If the Ming army takes Guangning and Xiping Fort, Shenyang will face a direct threat. If my son leads this battle, he will ignore the direction of Haizhou Offensively, as long as Guangning and Xiping Fort are captured, you can point your sword at Liaohe and directly threaten Shenyang. In terms of importance, Gaizhou, Fuzhou and Xuanzhou are far inferior to Guangning and Xiping Fort What I mean is that Su Tiancheng can give up Gaizhou, Xuanzhou, or even Fuzhou and attack from the direction of Liaodong, as long as Su Tiancheng wins in Liaodong, our Qing Dynasty will suffer heavy losses."

Huang Taiji nodded, what Hauge said made sense.

"Haug, I have listened to what you said, and you continue to talk about what adjustments should be made."

"Father, my son has thought about it. Prince Rui is still stationed in Haizhou. The Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner are not moving. The Zhenghong Banner and Xianghong Banner among the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty are transferred to Liaodong and stationed in Guangning and Xiping Fort respectively."

Seeing the surprised look on Huang Taiji's face, Hauge explained again.

"This is the result of my son's serious thinking. On the surface, the defense force in the direction of Haizhou has been greatly weakened, but it is still close to 8 people. It will not be a big problem to station in Haizhou and Yaozhou. As long as you don't think about it for the time being As for the attack, when the Japanese will launch the attack is still a non-committal matter, and it cannot be relied on. Even if there is trouble in the direction of Haizhou, the army stationed in Liaoyang can rush to help as soon as possible."

"With this arrangement, the situation in Liaodong is different. The guard strength has reached more than 13. Even if the main force of the Ming army attacks Liaodong, it is completely able to resist."

After Hauge explained, he pointed in the direction of Gaizhou.

"Father, if the direction of the Ming army's attack is in Liaodong, there must not be many soldiers staying in Gaizhou. Prince Rui can still launch an attack to test the strength of Gaizhou. According to my son, the most important place for Su Tiancheng to guard is Fuzhou will not be Gaizhou, after the start, the Ming army will definitely give up Gaizhou and focus on guarding Fuzhou."

Huang Taiji did not speak for a while, mobilizing the troops of the two banners to enter Liaodong, this is not a trivial matter, it needs to be seriously thought out, the game is a game of chess, if one is not careful, the whole game will be lost, and a profound lesson has been learned before. The Zhenglan Banner among the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty was completely wiped out, and the Xiangbai Banner among the Eight Banners was full of losses. As for the Han Army, it was equivalent to annihilation of the entire army. The foundation of the Qing Dynasty.

"I want to ask you one last question. If the direction of the Ming army's attack is Haizhou, how should we deal with it?"

Huang Taiji actually thought about it, but he was a little restless, so he raised this question.

"Father, my son thinks that the problem is not too big. In case the focus of the Ming army's attack is Haizhou, the Han Eight Banners in Liaodong can also be transferred back. There are more than 4 soldiers in Zhenghong Banner and Xianghong Banner. Presumably the Ming army did not With such a great capability, the Ming army intends to attack Yaozhou and Haizhou, if they start to attack, the reinforcements Zhenghongqi and Xianghongqi can directly attack Gaizhou, blocking the Ming army’s retreat.”

A smile finally appeared on Huang Taiji's face.

"Okay, if such a situation occurs, our Qing Dynasty will start a decisive battle with Su Tiancheng, right here in Haizhou, either you die or I die, I don't believe it, Jiang Ningying can destroy everything in our Qing Dynasty Elite troops."

When Huang Taiji said these few words, he slapped the map hard.

"Haoge, this time Jia Jihan made a contribution. I think this Jia Jihan is no less capable than Fan Wencheng. He is somewhat ambitious and can be reused. I won't say much about how to do it."

Hauge nodded and did not speak. Once Huang Taiji had settled on his train of thought, he would start to get busy. Calling up the army is not as simple as talking about it, and the time is very tight. It must be within the shortest possible time. Only when Lu Dajun is recruited in place can the deployment of the campaign be truly completed. (To be continued..)
