Ming politicians

Huang Taiji, who always pays attention to the Ming army, hardly slept a good night. On the one hand, the Ming army launched a large-scale attack. This kind of active attack has not been seen for many years. It has always been the Qing Dynasty who took the initiative to launch an attack. The Ming army As long as they are stable, they will not attack. Generally speaking, they have no fighting spirit, and now they have taken the initiative to attack. This makes Huang Taiji feel that the Ming Dynasty is slowly recovering and becoming stronger. The strategy of attrition adopted by the court will definitely not have a good ending, so this time the Ming army's active attack is a very good opportunity. As long as you firmly grasp it, you may be able to find an opportunity to fundamentally shake the Ming court. , and even entered the Central Plains, so this opportunity is very precious. As long as the invading Ming army is wiped out, and then breaks through the Guan Ningjin defense line, everything will be logical. As long as the Guan Ningjin defense line is captured, Huang Taiji He would no longer be afraid of Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying. []

However, the matter in the harem also made Huang Taiji worry. Concubine Chen's health has not been getting better, but it has become more and more serious. Although Fan Wencheng persuaded himself that he must put the country's affairs first, but people have feelings Yes, Huang Taiji is no exception. He has unusual feelings for Concubine Chen, and he always cares about Concubine Chen's body. They say that old men have unusual feelings. This is the best testimony. The 52-year-old Huang Taiji, for The 33-year-old concubine Chen Hai Lanzhu was in pain to the bone.

Although there are sufferings on both sides, the tenacious Huang Taiji can still control his emotions and pay close attention to the situation in Liaodong. He is in Guangning.Apart from showing fatigue, there is no sign of depression or anxiety.

After Chen Xinjia captured the city of Heishan.It stopped suddenly, and began to stand firmly in the city of Heishan, and gradually eliminated the threats around Heishan. The news came at the fastest speed.

Huang Taiji immediately felt the pressure, and at the same time, Fan Wencheng was suffering even more. [

Azig was very unconvinced because of his mistake in judging the fall of Montenegro.He always thinks that if he can find an opportunity to satirize or ridicule Fan Wencheng, now that such news comes, how can Azig not seize it, but Azig still knows how to measure, the most important task now.It is to annihilate the invading Ming army, and do not occupy the main position for the rest.

An argument unfolded.

It was still those people, this time, it was Azig who spoke first, and he also directly targeted Fan Wencheng.

"Lord Fan, you analyze that the Ming army's next attack will be to quickly attack Yizhou, but this is not the case now. If Chen Xinjia sticks to Montenegro, he does not intend to continue to attack. All arrangements are in vain. "

Fan Wencheng's face was a little gray.Why did Chen Xinjia do this? He was also thinking hard. Could it be that Chen Xinjia's purpose was really just to advance slowly step by step. After occupying Montenegro, he would strengthen the defense of Montenegro and stop attacking. I made a major mistake, and hundreds of thousands of troops are ready. This is no small matter.

However, after serious thinking and analysis, Fan Wencheng denied such a possibility. If the Ming army dispatched [-] troops, it would be unnecessary if it only occupied Montenegro. Such a waste of manpower and material resources is definitely not the practice and habit of the Ming army.

The reason why he was not completely sure was that Fan Wencheng was most worried about Su Tiancheng.

After many fights, Fan Wencheng has already noticed that Su Tiancheng is a very difficult opponent to deal with. It can almost be said that he is an unlikely opponent. Governor of Liao, if Su Tiancheng secretly operated this conquest, then everything is possible.

Fan Wencheng was not reconciled either. Could it be that Su Tiancheng was really so godly and so concealed? According to the information from Liaodong, Su Tiancheng had never been back to Liaodong. It had been more than a year. Besides, the most The key point is that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, how could he trust Su Tiancheng so much? Isn't he afraid that Su Tiancheng's power is too great, threatening the throne of the emperor? Then it is unlikely to leave Liaodong.

Thinking so hard that Fan Wencheng couldn't bear it anymore. Facing Azig's question, Fan Wencheng pulled himself together and answered.

"Young King Yingwu, the slaves thought that Chen Xinjia's stop of the attack was only a temporary situation. Firstly, this was the first time Chen Xinjia led an army to conquer, and he had to make sure that nothing happened, so he moved slowly. Chen Xinjia set out from Dalinghe City. Dalinghe City It is only a hundred miles away from Montenegro, but the army led by Chen Xinjia walked for three days. It can be seen that Chen Xinjia is very cautious. From this point of view, Chen Xinjia's temporary stationing in Montenegro can also be explained. The second aspect, Chen Xinjia The army led by him won the first battle, and if the slave's predictions are good, Chen Xinjia must have reported the good news to Emperor Chongzhen. After the good news was reported, Chen Xinjia was able to stabilize the command of the army, and the subsequent combat deployment can also be completely according to his own wishes. to do it."

Azig is obviously dissatisfied with Fan Wencheng's explanation. Not to mention Azig, even Haoge thinks it is a bit far-fetched. You must know that the Ming army led by Chen Xinjia has deployed around Montenegro. Prepare for a long-term stay.

"Lord Fan, you can't rely entirely on judgment when it comes to combat analysis. Your explanations are all based on your head. If the situation really changes, what should you do? Could it be that the army is attacking Montenegro?" Do you forcibly take back Montenegro? The Ming army's artillery is sharp, and I'm afraid it will not be so easy to take back Montenegro."

Fan Wencheng had some conclusions and didn't know how to continue explaining. Time was too tight, he needed time to think, and it was impossible to make more explanations in a hurry.

Hauge and Azig's identities are different. Fan Wencheng's loyalty to the Qing Dynasty and his father's loyalty is in his eyes. It should be said that many of Fan Wencheng's analyzes are indeed of great importance, but this Hauge is also aware of the importance of World War I to the Qing Dynasty.

"Lord Fan, what you said is indeed reasonable, but the situation is different now. There are still [-] warriors stationed in Xiping Fort in the Qing Dynasty, waiting for the best time to set off. The emperor is in Guangning, commanding an army of [-]. The purpose of everything is to completely annihilate the invading Ming army and break through Daming's Guan Ningjin line of defense. Under such circumstances, it is necessary to obtain accurate information, including the next move of the Ming army. If there is a deviation in these information, the consequences will be disastrous .”

Hauge's words were more tactful, but he also named the situation.

The Manchu nobles have always believed in attacking by force, and did not pay special attention to the deployment and planning of battles. Many military officers believed that once the strength reached a certain level, no matter what kind of tactics the opponent used, it would be helpful. The overall deployment and arrangements are something that the commander considers. This kind of understanding has almost become a habit. This is why Huang Taiji attaches great importance to Fan Wencheng, while the rest of the Manchu nobles are not very interested in Fan Wencheng.

Huang Taiji is also trying to change this situation. It is not enough to rely solely on force, but also to have enough wisdom, so that it is possible to truly lead the army. Unfortunately, he can't completely get rid of the rules. If the officers below, everyone They are all extraordinary, how can they maintain their own rule. [

After the Ming army captured the Heishan city, Huang Taiji also worried about the actions they made. After all, this strategy of luring the enemy into a deep place requires the cooperation of the opponent. If Chen Xinjia suddenly decides not to attack, the Ming army will be stationed in Heishan and gradually stabilized. Around Montenegro, if he chooses the right time to attack again, then Huang Taiji will face great difficulties.

The consumption of a 20 army is huge, and it is impossible to maintain it for a long time. The Qing Dynasty has never been used to long-term wars of attrition unless it is absolutely necessary. Think about the Battle of Daling River in the four years of Chongzhen. The consumption of the Qing Dynasty was also The huge battle, which lasted for several months, left the country somewhat empty.

But Huang Taiji was worthy of being a hero of the generation. He believed in his own judgment, and even more in Fan Wencheng's analysis. After all, the right to make the decision was in his own hands. No matter how Fan Wencheng analyzed it, he was the one who finally made the decision.

"Needless to say, why panic? At the beginning of the Ming army's attack, it was natural to be cautious. From Dalinghe City to Montenegro, it was only a hundred miles away. It took Chen Xinjia three days to complete the one hundred miles. Lidi, it can be seen that he is very cautious. After taking down Montenegro, he naturally needs to rest and recuperate. Wen Cheng's analysis is completely correct. You have nothing to worry about, but after a day or two, that's it. I'm so anxious, I don't even have the patience at all. Don't continue talking about how to lead the army. Let's go back and make preparations. Chen Xinjia is going to attack Yizhou next time. We still have time to make sufficient preparations. I don't want anything to happen. accident."

Huang Taiji's words settled everything, and doubts about Fan Wencheng naturally disappeared, because these were all decisions made by Huang Taiji, Haoge, Azige and others would never doubt Huang Taiji.

After everyone left, Fan Wencheng stayed behind.

"Slave, thank the emperor for his trust."

"Wen Cheng, don't say that. Your analysis is accurate. I have to reprimand some people. If there is any disturbance, I will be impatient. They are actually targeting you. I know very well."

Fan Wencheng pulled himself together.

"Your Majesty, the slave can use the head as a guarantee. Chen Xinjia will definitely continue to attack. There is another reason that the slave didn't say just now. Even if Chen Xinjia doesn't want to attack, I'm afraid the Emperor Chongzhen and the imperial court of Ming Dynasty will not agree."

Huang Taiji nodded with a smile. He also knew that Emperor Chongzhen, who had been suppressed by the Qing Dynasty for a long time, must have supervised and promoted the attack after having such an opportunity, and would never stop easily. (to be continued...)
