Ming politicians

Wang Daozhi has always been very pessimistic. He thinks that the Jiangning camp is too brave and the Ming army can't resist at all. Moreover, Su Tiancheng is already the emperor of the Jin Dynasty. The army, together with the three guards in charge of Tianjin, has a total strength of more than 30, but Wang Daozhi does not have enough confidence.

Drawing on the experience of fighting in Southern Zhili, Wang Daozhi did not disperse the army too much. He led a 15 Datong frontier army and stationed in Xincheng. The temporarily assembled 12 guard troops were stationed in Gaoyang. Near Fucheng, there are Datong Zhongtunwei and Shenyang Zhongtunwei. It is most convenient to station troops there, but Wang Daozhi believes that the place where the army is stationed cannot be too far from the capital. Being able to retreat in time to protect the capital, so stationed in Xincheng and Gaoyang is enough to control the situation.

According to Wang Daozhi's analysis, the Jiangning Battalion is very likely to directly attack Tianjin. After taking Tianjin, they can directly attack the capital. The Ming court will be completely destroyed, and the rest of the army will lose the meaning of fighting. They will either be reduced to bandits and rogues, fight against the Jiangning camp, or submit to the Jin court. There is no other way out. According to the bravery of the Jiangning camp, If you want to separate yourself from one side, unless you don't want to live anymore.

Wang Daozhi had known about the news of Su Tiancheng's imperial conquest for a long time, and of course the court also knew about it. You must know that the court has been highly nervous during this period of time, trying every means to collect information on the Jin court. He must have known it immediately, when he learned the news of Su Tiancheng's imperial conquest.Wang Daozhi couldn't help shivering at the time, he knew what this meant, but the imperial decree was hard to disobey, no matter what the situation was, he had to grit his teeth and persist.

Wang Daozhi also had a glimmer of hope in his heart, since the court knew that Su Tiancheng had personally conscripted.There will definitely be relevant countermeasures. Regardless of how powerful the Jin Dynasty is now, all its future and destiny are tied to Su Tiancheng. If something goes wrong with Su Tiancheng, the Jin Dynasty will collapse in an instant Yes, so the court and the emperor should understand this truth and will do whatever it takes.Even if it is temporarily ignoring the capital, it is still possible to put Su Tiancheng to death.

As for why Su Tiancheng would personally conquer, and what kind of method the court could think of to put Su Tiancheng in danger, these are not issues that Wang Daozhi needs to consider.

When Su Tiancheng came to Dezhou, Wang Daozhi became excited instead.

In Shenyang, Liaodong, Huang Taiji was also very excited, because of the things he had considered.Of course, it is more profound than Wang Daozhi.

Huang Taiji soon knew about the news of Su Tiancheng's imperial conquest.At that moment, he felt that an opportunity had come. As long as he could find a way to deal with Su Tiancheng, or even take Su Tiancheng's life directly, the time for the Qing Dynasty to feel proud would come quickly. At that time, the warriors of the Qing Dynasty would come.It is possible to launch an attack from Gaizhou and Liaodong at the same time. On the one hand, it will completely defeat the Ming court, and on the other hand, it will usurp the victory of the Jin Dynasty.

Of course, he wanted to deal with Su Tiancheng.It is not such a simple matter, Huang Taiji also deeply understands the reason behind this. In the past, Su Tiancheng also led the army to fight many times, but the situation was different at that time. Now Su Tiancheng is the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, directly attacking Northern Zhili is a direct threat to the Ming Dynasty. Presumably the Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty will deal with Su Tiancheng desperately, otherwise he will face the end of the country's subjugation.

In a very short period of time, Huang Taiji made a decision to dispatch soldiers from the Eight Banners to join forces with the Ming army. No matter how much sacrifice he had to make, he would defeat the Jiangning battalion. Moreover, Su Tiancheng went deep into Beizhili this time. In order to fight jointly with the Ming army, the Manchu Banners must make detailed deployments. On the one hand, they must face the Jiangning battalion head-on, and on the other hand, they must block the Jiangning battalion's retreat, so that the Jiangning battalion cannot easily return to Shandong.

Huang Taiji is a very decisive person. Once an idea comes up and he thinks it is really feasible, he will put it into practice. The Manchu Eight Banners and the Ming Army will jointly fight. This is unimaginable and impossible to achieve in the eyes of ordinary people. , but Huang Taiji is to make this impossible possible.

When discussing with everyone, Tan Tai came up with a strategy of attacking Guo by false ways. The so-called attack on Guo by false ways was actually using Daming as a springboard to defeat Su Tiancheng and the Jiangning camp, and then turned around and wiped out the Ming army, thereby directly capturing The capital occupies the Central Plains.Huang Taiji was very strange, thinking that it was impossible for Tan Tai to think of such a scheme. Sure enough, Tan Tai said that this scheme was proposed by Jia Jihan.

Huang Taiji immediately asked Jia Jihan to participate in this important discussion.

The opinions were finally unified. Although the suggestion of falsely attacking Guo was not adopted, the strategy of plundering along the way was completely brought out. Huang Taiji was clear about the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. , won the battle, and when they return to Liaodong, they can take the opportunity to plunder. At that time, it is no big deal to turn against the Ming army and the Ming court. They can even take the opportunity to covet the Guanning Jin defense line in Liaodong .

In such a battle, the most important thing is to make an impromptu decision.

Dorgon was entrusted to the crowd, and led the soldiers of Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner into Beizhili to fight jointly with the Ming army.

Everyone knows that this battle means cruel fighting, a great loss of strength, and even a possible defeat, but war is a gamble, and no one can guarantee victory. Rich.

Dorgon is the most valiant Gu Shan Ezhen in the Qing Dynasty, and he is also the most tenacious in combat, and he is able to assess the situation. Such an important task belongs to him.As for the defense tasks of Haizhou and Yaozhou, Jierhalang is naturally in charge. State and Yaozhou, responsible for the defense mission there.

Once the discussion was settled, Huang Taiji immediately ordered the news to be passed on to Jierhalang who was negotiating in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and asked Jierhalang to negotiate with the Ming court.

Although everyone's opinions are unified, Huang Taiji is still worried. He is very clear that many of the decisions he has made during this period of time are difficult for everyone to understand, including Hauge. It is not a big problem to understand, but as the crown prince, Hauge must understand the truth, which is very important for the future control of the Qing Dynasty.

In Chongzheng Hall, Huang Taiji looked at Hauge, and spoke earnestly.

"Haug, recently, I see that you have been a little restless. I think that you probably don't understand the decisions I made."

Hauge nodded, but did not speak.

Seeing Hauge's attitude, Huang Taiji sighed secretly. In fact, Hauge is not the best heir. Unfortunately, under the current circumstances, no one else is suitable. Huang Taiji still has to do his best to make the foundation of the Qing Dynasty more Otherwise, if Hauge really became the emperor, he may not be able to keep this foundation. Several years have passed, and Huang Taiji has taught Hauge many times to let Hauge handle many things in the court. It should be said Hauge's progress is rapid, but there is still a distance from a wise monarch.

But the Qing Dynasty needs a wise monarch.

"Haoge, I know you don't understand. I have said a lot about the truth in this. There is a saying in the Han people, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. I once asked you to understand the meaning of this sentence carefully. I leave it to you. No matter how much wealth you have, leaving behind the most powerful army, these are all necessary, but I think that what is more important is your growth."

Hearing what Huang Taiji said, Hauge was a little flustered. This kind of criticism, coming from Huang Taiji's mouth, was very serious. Hauge didn't want to be identified as an unqualified heir.

"Your Majesty, I just don't understand, but after discussing these words, I also understand the truth."

"Haug, what I hope will happen is that you come up with such a suggestion, such as cooperating with the Ming army, fighting with the Ming army, including the suggestion of falsely attacking Guo, if you can think of these, you can come up with these Suggestion, it shows that you have extraordinary foresight."

"I say this, not to force you. You are the future emperor of the Qing Dynasty. My health is not good. Although I have regained some physical strength this year, I know that it is impossible to last for a long time. Therefore, I thought, let You have worked hard, in fact, you are already very mature in handling daily government affairs, but in terms of foresight, I think you still need to think a lot and practice a lot. In the future, you will lead the Qing Dynasty to prosperity, if you don’t have a certain foresight , that was very difficult.”

Hauge lowered his head and didn't speak.

Huang Taiji also knew that it was untenable and unrealistic to think that Hauge had extraordinary foresight and insight based on one or two lectures, but he thought that reminding Hauge a few more times would force Hauge to If you think more about problems, you will naturally increase your knowledge and foresight.

The conversation continued, and at the end, Huang Taiji mentioned Dorgon again. This time, sending Dorgon to carry out such an important task, Huang Taiji hesitated for a long time, because the time was urgent and there was no time to do it. From other comparisons, secondly, everyone is clear about the combat effectiveness of Zhengbai Qi and Xiangbai Qi, so in a hurry, it was determined that Dorgon would take on the heavy responsibility.Huang Taiji's inner worries will not diminish. Although Hauge has been crown prince for several years, Dorgon's attitude has not changed. The fighting power of Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner is getting stronger and stronger. Whether there will be conflicts between Hauge and Dorgon is critical to the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, so Huang Taiji must remind Hauge. (To be continued..)
