Ming politicians

(Thanks to Quiet Youth, Yufei 001 for voting for the precious monthly ticket, and thank you for choosing to take the middle route, thank you.)

During this time, Fan Wencheng was too busy to touch the ground. As long as it was information about Liaodong, no matter what it involved, he would analyze it carefully, even including the prices of grain and salt in Liaodong. All of them need to be carefully analyzed. Through these information, he constantly adjusts his thinking. He has paid special attention to the information he received recently about the mobilization of the Liaodong Frontier Army, although it is impossible for the person who provided the information to say it. How many troops were mobilized, but Fan Wencheng naturally had a way. He integrated information from various sources, including the consumption of goods around Dalinghe City and the consumption of Jinzhou City after the sergeants were mobilized, and finally analyzed the sergeants mobilized in Liaodong this time. How many.

All this information must be reported to Huang Taiji in time.

As for Huang Taiji, he has been concentrating on this battle for a long time. Except for Daishan who returned to North Korea, and the officers of the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty who returned to Montenegro, the rest stayed. They did one thing every day, specifically discussing how to deal with the border wars. The army's attack this time, if we talk about the general combat deployment, it doesn't need to expend so much energy, but this time Huang Taiji's thinking is different, he has a big appetite, and his purpose is to wipe out all the invading frontier troops.

According to the intelligence analyzed by Fan Wencheng, there were at least 10 frontier troops participating in the attack this time. After getting this number, Huang Taiji couldn't restrain his excitement, and immediately asked everyone to come to the Chongzheng Hall.

The outside of the Chongzheng Hall was closely guarded, and no mosquito would even think about flying in without permission.

"Wen Cheng, tell me about the intelligence you analyzed."

"Yes, according to the intelligence from Liaodong. According to the analysis of the Ming army that participated in the attack on our Qing Dynasty, the number is more than 10. The time of the Ming army's attack is around the beginning of May. The Ming army will start from Dalinghe City. Launch an attack directly on Montenegro. The first step is to occupy Heishan, and then attack Yizhou and Guangning. There is one thing that I have never figured out. Regarding the guarding of Jinzhou City, it is said that Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City are the rear bases of the Ming army, and they need heavy guards. The information from Jinzhou and Dalinghe City shows that these two places. The remaining Ming army is not Many, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, there are quite a few Ming soldiers guarding these places, how many Ming soldiers guard these places, and the slaves are still collecting information..."

During Fan Wencheng's analysis of the situation, the hall was very quiet, and no one spoke, facing the active attack of the Ming army.There has been no unanimous opinion on what method to take to face the war.After a few days of debate, two completely different opinions have been formed. One opinion believes that it should be confronted head-on and deal a devastating blow to the Ming army in the wild, and the other opinion believes that it should be confronted head-on.The Ming army should be lured to the place where the ambush was set up, and the Ming army should be wiped out by taking the opportunity.Both analyzes are reasonable, and neither side can convince the other, so I say.The information provided by Fan Wencheng is crucial.

After Fan Wencheng finished speaking, Huang Taiji spoke.

"Wen Cheng, I want to thank you. You have worked hard in this battle. Although you can't be on the front line in person, your contribution is no less than that of any general who went to battle. Everyone, you have heard the analysis of Wen Cheng's situation. Yes, I also understand the two sets of combat plans you proposed, and now the situation is gradually clear, what do you think, Hauge, you insist on confronting the enemy head-on, Jierhalang, you insist on setting up an ambush, how much Ergun, you have always made it clear that today I want to listen to you, and the rest of you will stop talking for the time being, and wait until the three of them finish speaking and see if there is anything to add."

After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he glanced at Azig casually, he had to emphasize this, otherwise Azige would fire again, and open his mouth to talk nonsense.

Hauge spoke first.

"Father, my son thinks that we should face the Ming army head-on, so as to show the might of our Qing warriors. My son has fought against the Ming army many times, and they will collapse at the first touch. They are no match for my Qing warriors. Once, the Ming army dispatched [-] soldiers, which was the opportunity for my Qing Dynasty. I was able to wipe out [-] Ming troops in one fell swoop. I thought that I could even capture Dalinghe City, Jinzhou City, and Ningyuan, and approach Shanhaiguan... "

After Hauge finished speaking, Huang Taiji looked at Jierhalang.

"Your Majesty, I think it's better to set up an ambush. The warriors of my Qing Dynasty have not fought against the Ming army for many years. I don't know if the Ming army has changed. Under such circumstances, the method of setting up an ambush can be used to maximize Annihilating the Ming army, if it is a face-to-face confrontation, even if the Ming army has failed, they can directly retreat to Dalinghe City or Jinzhou City, which will increase the difficulty of our Qing warriors' attack..."

Before Dorgon could speak, Huang Taiji spoke first.

"Haoge, I'm here to ask you, what should you do if the Ming army retreats to Dalinghe City on the verge of collapse?"

"I have thought about it, and divided the troops into two groups. After the Ming army left Dalinghe City, they set up an ambush at a place about fifty miles away from Dalinghe City, cutting off the Ming army's retreat route. There is no way of life."

"It seems reasonable, but if the Ming army from Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City came to rescue, what should we do?"

"Just block them, what ability does the Ming army have?"

"Tell me again, how many troops need to be deployed for attack, and how many troops need to be deployed for ambush."

"The safest way is to attack 10 people and set up an ambush for 5 people. This will ensure a complete victory."

"Bastard, as the deputy commander, how can you say these words? If the Jiangning battalion comes to attack, the ambushing sergeant can't resist, what should we do? Could it be that the ambushing sergeant was flanked by the Ming army? Wouldn't the deployment be completely disrupted? Besides, how do you know that the Ming army has no combat power at all? If the Ming army dared to take the initiative to launch an attack, wouldn't it consider such a method of pinching back and forth? Let’s talk about how light it is, mobilizing 15 troops, do you think the commander of the Ming army is blind and can’t see anything? The Ming army stationed in Liaodong has hundreds of thousands. If they see through our arrangement and move out in full force, that At that time, who was wiped out, do you know? Set up an ambush fifty miles away from Dalinghe City. Have you calculated how long it takes for the cavalry to reach it? About half an hour is enough. Are the Ming troops stationed in Liaodong all fools? , Okay, don’t say any more, listen carefully to other people’s opinions.”

Hauge was a little resentful.

"Prince Zheng, I'm asking you, what do you think is the best place to set up an ambush?"

"I think it's best to be near Guangning."

"According to what you mean, we have to give up the cities of Heishan and Yizhou. Can you tell me why this arrangement is made?"

Jierharang spoke calmly and dissatisfied.

"Choosing to abandon Heishan and Yizhou is to make the Ming army have the idea of ​​underestimating the enemy. The Ming army has not taken the initiative to attack for many years. I remember that the last time was the battle of Saarhu. After so many years, the Ming army was able to take the initiative. We have attacked the Qing Dynasty. The Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty must have high hopes and hopes to win a huge victory. If an ambush is set up in Montenegro, too close to Dalinghe City, and the Ming army reinforces it, it will increase the difficulty of setting up an ambush. At the same time, Ming The morale of the army must not be weak. If they set up an ambush in Montenegro, the Ming army will definitely resist desperately. It is not certain who will win and who will lose. In this way, continue to attack, and Guangning is far away from Dalinghe City, and it is an area controlled by our Qing Dynasty for a long time. Here, it is completely possible to attack back and forth, so that the Ming army cannot reinforce them, and there is no possibility of escape. Use this tactic , and one more point, that is, after the Ming army occupied Yizhou, it was necessary to send surprise soldiers to control the main roads from Heishan and Yizhou to Guangning to prevent the Ming army from reinforcing..."

A smile appeared on Huang Taiji's face, and he nodded frequently.

"Twelve brothers, what do you think?"

"Your brother agrees with Prince Zheng's tactical arrangement, but I have something to add. While ambushing the Ming army, you can consider attacking Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City. If you can win, you will gain a lot. If you can't win, it will also make Ming The army cannot be reinforced, so they can use a two-pronged approach. The most important thing is to seize the right time. After the Ming army occupies Yizhou, they can take action. The advantage of this is that the Ming army occupying Yizhou and Montenegro will not be able to escape being wiped out. destiny."

Huang Taiji raised his head and laughed loudly.

"Very good, I think it is very good, but there is one thing that you have not considered carefully. Why are the defense forces of Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City weak? My eyes will be fixed on Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City. With such a good opportunity, I will mobilize and occupy Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City, and then plot Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, and even point my sword at the capital. Ming army, by that time, Shenyang will definitely be empty, if the Ming army can attack Shenyang, wouldn't it mean that they said they won a complete victory, wouldn't our Qing Dynasty be in chaos."

Everyone was stunned, no one thought of this.

Huang Taiji restrained his smile.

"Because of this, I asked you to discuss carefully. How can I lose such a good opportunity? It is disrespectful for Da Ming to entertain the warriors of our Great Qing Kingdom with a feast."

Everyone laughed. This is indeed an excellent opportunity. After analyzing this point, Huang Taiji must have thought of countermeasures. The corresponding tactical deployment is also clearly targeted.

"I will lead the army to march, Shenyang's defense, Prince Zheng Jierhalang and Duoduo are in charge, we must absolutely guarantee the safety of Shenyang, Dorgon, Hauge, and Azig will follow me on the expedition, this time, we will not only wipe out all The [-] Ming army still wants to take down Dalinghe City and Jinzhou City. The commander of the Ming army is Chen Xinjia. Isn’t this Chen Xinjia very happy, so let him make a good contribution.” (To be continued..)
