Ming politicians

(Thanks to Nanying Yu for casting a valuable evaluation vote, thank you.)

Huang Taiji has arrived in Guangning.

When the Ming army set off from Dalinghe City, Huang Taiji had already led many generals to Guangning, and Dorgon, who was stationed in Guangning, took an army of [-] to station in Xipingbao, waiting for the best time. Directly kill Daling River City.

In order to completely annihilate the invading Ming army, Huang Taiji mobilized all the troops around Shenyang, and even mobilized part of the troops waiting in Liaoyang, Haizhou and Gaizhou to form an army of 20. The army around Ning is close to 10 people, and these are waiting in full formation, waiting for the Ming army to come.

According to the pre-arrangement, Huang Taiji voluntarily gave up Heishan, Yizhou and other places. This move also took great risks. If the opponent was Su Tiancheng, Huang Taiji would never do this. He gave up Heishan, Yizhou and other places. To prevent the Ming army from resorting to another trick, that is, not to continue to attack, but to garrison on the spot, stabilize the defense line, and take measures to attack slowly. Lost his wife and lost his army.

But Huang Taiji's opponent was Chen Xinjia, and Fan Wencheng's accurate analysis gave Huang Taiji great confidence.

The scouts dressed up as ordinary people were active in Heishan and Yizhou. Information on the Guanning Jin defense line was still being sent in a steady stream, but after the expedition began, most of the information was about the [-] Ming army led by Chen Xinjia .

Fan Wencheng is still the most important minister of Huang Taiji. On this point, the Manchu dignitaries also recognize it. Dorgon, Haoge, Duoduo, Jierhalang and others all think that Fan Wencheng is indeed extraordinary. Fan Wencheng didn't have much interest in Azig.He didn't dare to open his mouth to belittle Fan Wencheng casually. Fan Wencheng used hard facts to prove that accurate analysis and precise thinking played a decisive role in the conquest of the army.

Haoge, Azige and others entered the room and saw Huang Taiji discussing something with Fan Wencheng.On the sand table in the middle of the room, there are various flags.

After everyone came in, Huang Taiji nodded to show that he understood.

A few minutes later, Huang Taiji looked at the sand table and spoke.

"There are [-] soldiers stationed in Heishan City, how long will they be able to wait, Hauge, Azig, please tell me."

Hauge spoke first.

"My son expects to be able to wait for half a day."

Huang Taiji looked at Azige, although he was really annoyed with Azige, but Azige on the battlefield was still very brave.

When Azige spoke, it really made Huang Taiji even more annoyed.

"I estimate that the city of Heishan can be defended for at least two days. The Ming army doesn't have much fighting power. It will take a lot of effort to break through the city of Heishan."

Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng and sighed. If only the brothers and nephews around him could analyze things seriously like Fan Wencheng did.How good it would be to come up with convincing opinions. Judging from the current situation, Daishan and Dorgon have such potential, and Daishan is getting old.You don't need to think about it, Dorgon is in his prime and has become the middle of the Qing Dynasty, why his son didn't behave like this.

"Okay, let's listen to Wen Cheng's analysis."

All eyes were on Fan Wencheng.

Fan Wencheng twirled his goatee and spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, the slave's prediction is similar to Prince Su's analysis, but the slave's prediction is shorter, no more than two hours, and the Ming army can take the city of Heishan."

Both Hauge and Azig opened their eyes wide. To be honest, Hauge’s estimated half-day time was very conservative. His understanding in his bones was similar to that of Azig. It may not be that simple to easily take down the city of Heishan. Who knew that Fan Wencheng said that it would only take more than an hour.

"The slave said this for three reasons. The first reason is that the Ming army's artillery is sharp, and the soldiers stationed in the city cannot resist the Ming army's artillery attack. The second reason is that the Ming army must have tried their best in the first battle. With the slightest reservation, winning Heishan City was a huge encouragement for the Ming army, which could boost morale to the maximum and stabilize the morale of the army. The third reason is that most of the sergeants guarding Heishan City are old and weak. Or the logistics troops in the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, when the plan to lure the enemy into depth was first decided, Gu Shan Ezhen of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty would never take out elite guards in the city of Heishan. Sergeant, you don't have much fighting spirit."

"Considering these three aspects, the sergeants stationed in Heishan City can hardly last for two hours. Once the Ming army launches an attack, the combination of sharp artillery and fearless determination will face the sergeants who have no fighting spirit. Being able to stick to it for more than an hour is considered pretty good.”

After Fan Wencheng's analysis, Huang Taiji nodded frequently.

Hauge, Azig and the others were obviously not convinced. Even if those guarding the city of Montenegro were old and weak, the Eight Banners of Man and Eight Banners of Han were the elite troops of the Qing Dynasty. A thin camel was bigger than a horse, and the fighting power of the Ming army could How strong is it? Besides, Jin's Ming army after this conquest did not have Jiangning battalion or Yulin battalion, so it is impossible to be so strong in combat effectiveness.

Seeing the eyes of everyone, Huang Taiji sighed again. Fan Wencheng's analysis is reasonable, and this is also the goal that the campaign deployment needs to achieve, but Hauge just can't understand that any battle is responsible for the entire campaign , Every battle is planned for the ultimate victory.

"Wen Cheng's analysis is reasonable, and I see it in the same way. We cannot underestimate the fighting power of the Ming army. You must remember that we are adopting a strategy of luring the enemy deep. If the Ming army cannot win in the early stage, If you can’t pay some price, how can you win the next victory, and how can you annihilate the invading Ming army.”

Huang Taiji didn't expect that just after he said this sentence, Azige followed suit.

"Your Majesty, what is a 5 Ming army? I think that even if you stick to the city of Heishan, as long as you give me [-] people, you can still wipe out the [-] Ming army."

Huang Taiji turned pale with anger, and was thinking of losing his temper when Fan Wencheng on the side spoke.

"Perhaps what King Yingwu said is true. From the perspective of field battles, the Ming army is no match for the warriors of the Qing Dynasty. But there is one situation, the king should not forget, that is, Heishan is only a hundred miles away from Dalinghe City. Within this distance, if there is any turmoil, the Ming army can completely withdraw to Dalinghe City, and such a plan to wipe out the Ming army will definitely be frustrated."

Azige did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Huang Taiji, but it was different when facing Fan Wencheng. Just after Fan Wencheng finished speaking, Azige spoke again.

"Master Fan said so, then let me ask you, if the Ming army occupied Heishan City and left behind heavy soldiers, what should we do, and then occupied Yizhou and left heavy soldiers again, should we go to attack the city?"

The expression on Fan Wencheng's face didn't change at all, obviously he was confident.

"This is in line with the emperor's wishes. The 1 Ming army led by Chen Xinjia has a large number of people. It is too difficult to wipe them all out in one go. Chen Xinjia won the Heishan City, and at least 2 people were assigned to garrison, or even 2. People, after taking Yizhou, the city of Yizhou is not small, at least 7 people are needed to garrison, plus the casualties caused during the attack on the city, that is to say, the Ming army that can attack Guangning will not exceed 2 people If the division is more detailed, there are at least 5 personal soldiers and logistics sergeants guarding Chen Xinjia and others. In this way, the maximum number of people participating in the attack is [-], one hundred thousand versus fifty thousand. Our Qing Dynasty occupies an absolute advantage, once the main force of the Ming army's attack is destroyed, victory is within reach."

"In addition, the Ming army stationed in Yizhou and Heishan also had no chance of escape. The [-] troops led by Prince Rui blocked the retreat route of the Ming army while besieging Dalinghe City. Under such circumstances, The battle line of the Ming army is very long, and it is impossible to take care of both ends, and it will be a matter of time before they are wiped out."

"The Ming army guarding the Guanning Jin line of defense focused on ensuring the safety of Dalinghe City, Jinzhou City, Ningyuan City, and Shanhaiguan. They would never dare to let go of the attack. The Ming army chose to stick to the city, which is beneficial to our Qing Dynasty. The warriors beat each other."

"Heishan and Yizhou are the territory of our Qing Dynasty. The Ming army does not have any advantages and foundations in these places, and cannot receive any support. The emperor has already made deployments. The Ming army is in Heishan and Yizhou. Without a grain of food, under such circumstances, the Ming army is always passive."

"Based on the analysis of the above situation, it is expected that our Qing warriors will wipe out the invading Ming army."

Fan Wencheng's analysis is well-founded, but Hauge is still not convinced.

"If Chen Xinjia sticks to Montenegro, what should he do?"

A smile appeared on Fan Wencheng's face.

"The servant has already analyzed it. Chen Xinjia is very happy. He was entrusted with the important task of Chongzhen. He led an army of [-]. How can he be satisfied with occupying the city of Montenegro? If so, Chen Xinjia does not need to mobilize the army. It is a great move to lead [-] soldiers. .”

Hauge's attitude was much better. Although Fan Wencheng's analysis was also mentioned in Chongzheng Palace, what he said today is more clear and it is indeed credible.

So after Fan Wencheng finished speaking, Hauge spoke.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Master Fan's analysis is reasonable."

Hauge and Azig called Fan Wencheng Master Fan at the same time, which was actually a change. When Manchu nobles called Han people, no matter what their identity was, they always called them by their first names.

Before Azig could speak again, Aobai, who was in charge of reporting the military situation, had already entered.

"Your Majesty, Heishan fell, and the Ming army took an hour and a half to take down the city of Heishan."

Azige, who was dumbfounded, looked at Fan Wencheng and was speechless. (To be continued..)
