Borrow the day to change the day

In Shengjing, Liaodong, slave chieftain Huang Taiji was having a meeting with a group of cronies in Chongzheng Hall.

I saw Huang Taiji said with a smile on his face: "That's the matter of establishing the Six Departments. Next, we will discuss how to reply to Jinzhou."

It turned out that under Fan Wencheng's secret performance, Huang Taiji agreed to Fan Wencheng's suggestion, taking advantage of the fact that He Shuobile was basically not in Shengjing.

That is to say, imitating the official system of the Ming Dynasty, the departments of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers were established. The ministers of each department were appointed by Huang Taiji's cronies or young leaders of Jianlu who were close to Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji reckoned that Mang Gurtai might be the only one who opposed this so far.Therefore, he was not afraid of Mang Gurtai's objection after returning from North Korea.

Jianlu's centralized power, under Fan Wencheng's suggestion, was more and more concentrated in the hands of Huang Taiji.

Everyone in the hall heard Huang Taiji say another meeting topic, and they all thought about how to give Dahan a suggestion.

They all knew that the answer to Jinzhou's side was affirmative, that is, they would not send troops.But what reason should be used to evade, so that the Horqin people feel that they really have no way to send troops is the focus of this issue.

Ji Erhalang, one of Heshuo Baylor, first played to Huang Taiji: "Khan, why don't you tell Jinzhou directly that Dajin's lack of food supports them to take Jinzhou down."

It is not a short-term thing to take down Jinzhou. First, it is necessary to cut off the Ming army who came to rescue Jinzhou from the direction of Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan. Second, how to break through the high-walled Jinzhou City is also a difficult point.

But no matter which one, there is a process, which requires Daikin to continuously transport food and materials to the country.

During the war, the consumption of food and materials was several times that of usual times.Originally, Dajin was short of food, if they did this, the food shortage would only be worse, and even if Jinzhou was captured, it might not be able to make up for it.

This was the main reason why Huang Taiji considered not fighting the Jinzhou War. Of course, Jinzhou City was too strong, and it was not worthwhile to fill it with the lives of Dajin or Mongols.

Huang Taiji had long regarded the Horqin army as the meat of his mouth. When he heard the Ming army attacking the Horqin Darhan king, he really looked up to the sky and laughed. Even the Ming army came to help him recruit the Mongols.

When he heard Jierhalang's suggestion, he shook his head without thinking, and said, "This method is not appropriate. If Horqin knows that we are in such a dire situation of food, there will be unnecessary troubles when we recruit them in the future."

Fan Wencheng nodded and agreed with Huang Taiji's statement.He also has a suggestion, but he has been waiting for others to say it first, so as not to be too outstanding and cause the jealousy of the Jurchen nobles in the palace.

Now that he saw that Jierhalang had already offered advice, he offered advice to Huang Taiji: "Master, can you say that Jinzhou City is strong, and my Dajin has no cannons, so it is not suitable to attack the city. In addition, he also told them that the master I really can't bear to let the Horqin people die in vain by attacking a strong city like Jinzhou."

As soon as Huang Taiji heard it, it made sense, so he said to Fan Wencheng: "It makes sense, let's continue."

Hearing this, Fan Wencheng showed a charming smile on his face after being praised, and continued: "The Mongols should know that I am not good at attacking cities, so they can understand the reason just now. As long as we promise to lure the Ming army to fight in the future, in the future If we avenge them in the field, we may agree to withdraw our troops."

Huang Taiji nodded, but shook his head again, thinking that the Horqin people now have two leaders, namely the two sons of King Darhan.In order to seize power, will they insist on taking back King Darhan, or will they immediately avenge their clansmen who were killed by the Ming army?

Huang Taiji said this, and then added: "It's better to have another reason, so that they can no longer insist on staying in Jinzhou."

The hall fell silent, everyone was thinking of a solution.

In the end, it was Fan Wencheng who said, "Master, why don't you tell Jinzhou at the same time that the Ming army on the front line of Denglai has invaded the Dajin border, so we have to call back Jinzhou's soldiers and horses."

Another Heshuo Beile Abata heard this, and before Huang Taiji could reply, he directly denied Fan Wencheng's suggestion and said, "On the front line of Denglai, only Dongjiang has the combat power. But everyone knows that since Mao Wenlong's death, Denglai has Not to worry about. If I, Dajin, said that I was beaten by Denglai and had to be transferred back to the Jinzhou Bingma for such absurd reasons, it would really damage Dajin's prestige."

Abatai's statement is also reasonable. If the Ming army on the front line of Denglai was strong, they would not have used their main force last year to bypass Mongolia and attack the pass.

The hall was quiet again, and there was no other way for a while.Seeing that no one responded, Huang Taiji thought he might as well do so.

Ask Daishan to communicate with the two sons of King Darhan in private, and use his power to overwhelm them. He is not afraid that they will disagree, and after withdrawing, he will use some means to directly recruit them.

Just when Huang Taiji was about to announce this decision, the military information from the front was sent, saying that the Ming army on the front line of Denglai attacked and harassed the Dajin border.

When everyone in the hall heard this, they all looked at each other in blank dismay. Denglai's Ming army really came to harass the Dajin border.This is not a fabricated reason, can it be used to withdraw troops from Jinzhou?

Huang Taiji was more thoughtful than these people in the hall, and immediately asked about the specific situation.

After learning that the Ming army was really just harassment and retreated at the touch of a finger, he smiled and waved the messenger to retreat.

Denglai's combat power is indeed scumbag. It is estimated that under the pressure of the Ming court, he sent troops to make a show to respond to the Jinzhou war.

Therefore, Huang Taiji decided to reply to Jinzhou based on several reasons previously discussed and the fact that Denglai had indeed sent troops, and asked them to withdraw troops as soon as possible, so as not to waste money and food.

But before the order came out of the palace, there was an emergency military situation.Seeing the nervous and flustered expression of the messenger, everyone in the hall felt their hearts sink.

"Reporting profusely, five hundred Zhenglan Banner armored soldiers and a thousand North Korean infantry transporting food were attacked by the Ming army 56 miles east of Phoenix City. Except for [-] Zhenglan Banner armored soldiers who escaped, the rest of the army All the food was burned."

Huang Taiji stood up immediately when he heard it, and said in shock, "What? Say it again."

The people in the hall also looked at the messenger with a look of shock on their faces. The news was too appalling.

The messenger had no choice but to say it again, and this time he added: "Jia Laer, who led the team, was killed by the Ming army and failed to escape."

Abatai didn't believe this news. The five hundred golden warriors had all casually killed the two thousand Ming troops in the field, not to mention the one thousand North Korean infantry, how could they have been defeated so badly.

Huang Taiji knew that the messenger would not lie, he asked in surprise, "Where did the Ming army attack?"

"Back to the Great Khan, more than 3000 cavalry troops from the Ming Dynasty made a surprise attack, and the banner was a Lu character."

The Jianlu and the traitors in the Chongzheng Palace looked at each other in dismay. In their minds, a name they had heard before but had been ignored was recalled to them again.

Soon, Jianlu's messenger was sent to Jinzhou immediately, asking Daishan and others to return to the teacher.In addition, they explored the horses and made all the details, and began to investigate the real situation of Denglaiming's army.
