Chapter 467 The situation in Liaodong

The people of Ming Dynasty had a hard time, and the days of Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty were even more sad.

Huang Taiji, who started his business by looting, has suffered several defeats in the Ming Dynasty. Although it is not a serious injury to his vitality, the lives of the people are difficult.

The Little Ice Age caused not only the reduction in grain production in the Ming Dynasty. Their days of the Qing Dynasty were twice as sad as they were.

In the Qing Dynasty, which was dominated by safari people, animals in the entire Northeast began to decrease due to the Little Ice Age.

Without animals, they could hunt, and their tribe began to worry about food. Moreover, even Shengjingdu could not bear it anymore.

Today, Beile Ye Duoduo came to report that there had been frozen animals in the Eight Banners, as well as many people from the Eight Banners. As for the 200,000 Han slaves they stolen from the Ming Dynasty, countless casualties were killed or injured. The good days of the Qing Dynasty were over.

Huang Taiji, who finally recovered from his health, was really a big deal in the situation in China. What should I do? Since I can’t live anymore, the only way is to rely on one word - grab it.

Who to steal is naturally the Ming Dynasty of the farming nation. As long as you defeat the Ming army in Liaodong, you will open your door to Beijing. Huang Taiji can drive straight in and robbed it in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

But this person has memories. Huang Taiji had done this before. If he did this, Daming would not be a fool, so they would definitely find a way to deal with it.

First of all, there was Liaodong. The Ming army in the entire Liaodong region had an iron barrel that was defending was also like that. It was cold and could not be defeated at all.

But if you don’t rob, how can you live your life?

So, Huang Taiji, who could not sit still, summoned the princes of the Eight Banners Banners to discuss major events together.

"We are in the Qing Dynasty, and you guys, what are the best solutions?"

In the main hall of Shengjing Palace, Huang Taiji sat upright on the dragon throne and discussed major military affairs with the ministers. It is no exaggeration to say that the Qing Dynasty is now at the moment of life and death.

How to survive this cold winter is a problem they are about to face.

King Wuying Ajige stood up: "Your Majesty, I think we should send troops to Liaodong. We should start a battle with the Ming army. Only by winning a battle can we regain our morale!"

Prince Rui Dorgon was much more rational: "How to fight a war? Just in our current situation, can we fight?"

Prince Zheng Jirhalang was furious: "Dorgon, what do you mean? To strengthen others' ambitions and destroy your own might, what does it mean to be unable to defeat? What's so great about them? We have never set up a battle to do a big fight, how can you know that you can't beat it? The emperor, I ask us to send troops and do a big fight in the Ming army's defense line."

Jirgalang's words seem to make some sense. Although the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty had fought several times, the situation where both sides launched a battle on the battlefield did not appear.

It seemed that the Ming army had been afraid of the main force's decisive battle. Before, they just took the lead and let Huang Taiji retreat due to the difficulties.

Now, Huang Taiji is no longer allowed to continue waiting for the opportunity. What he has to do is to solve the food problems faced by the Qing Dynasty first.

"Dorgon, do you think if you don't fight the Ming army, how can we solve the problem of food?" Huang Taiji looked at him.

Dorgon stood up and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, we are not sure of victory at the moment, so it is really not appropriate to send troops. There is no good way to solve the problem of food. I can only continue to collect food from North Korea and collect cattle and sheep from Mongolia."

When Jirgalang heard this, he was even more angry: "I will fight again, but I will fight against North Korea again. Mongolia has long been quite dissatisfied with us. I heard that in the winter of 2008, many cattle and sheep were frozen to death. I asked them again, I think Mongolia is going to fall to the Ming Dynasty. The emperor, I will still say the same thing! I send troops and fight to the death with the Ming army. Some people are afraid that they want to be turtles, so let me take the lead!"

Faced with Jirgalang's sarcasm, Dorgon did not get angry, but continued: "Your Majesty, I do not agree to the decisive battle with the Ming army on the Liaodong defense line. If we really want to fight, we can only take a detour to Mongolia."

Huang Taiji was stunned: "Take a detour to Mongolia?"

Dorgon nodded: "Ming State suppressed Mongolia very much. Unless it was absolutely necessary, the Mongols would not turn to Ming State. The Mongolians are not having a good time now. Let's talk about using the same trick again. Join Mongolia to bypass Hong Chengchou's Guanning Jin defense line and head south. However, this time we can't go to Beijing. Instead, we will go to Shanxi and Shaanxi."

Huang Taiji frowned: "Shanxi and Shaanxi?"

"Yes, my master, I heard that Zhu Youjian's three major camps in Beijing are of great significance. If he attacks Beijing again, the first thing he has to do is to defend Beijing is strong, so we can't catch it. If Hong Chengchou turns around and makes dumplings, our 100,000 Eight Banners soldiers will probably be ruined. Shaanxi and Shanxi are their weak defenses, and there are many local rich people in these two places. If the plan is appropriate, it will be enough for us to survive this winter."

The intelligence agencies of the Qing Dynasty were not vegetarians. The eight royal merchants killed only one Fan Yongdou, and other merchants continued to transfusion blood for the Qing Dynasty. Huang Taiji actually knew very well about the situation of the Ming Dynasty.

Beijing City has long been different from the past, especially the rectification of the three major battalions, which has caused their combat effectiveness to soar. If the battle is final in the plains, Huang Taiji of the ten three major battalions will not take it seriously.

However, the Ming Dynasty had been defending Beijing for more than 200 years. The strong city wall could not be conquered no matter what, and even if the troops were at the city, they would not be able to gain any benefits.

It is not as Dorgon said that he continued to travel to Mongolia this time. However, their target was not to the capital, but Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Huang Taiji nodded: "I have thought about this method, but I am still a little worried. Sun Chuanting, who is in Tongguan, heard that this person is very good. I am a little worried about whether this person will become our biggest enemy."

Dorgon was silent and said for a while: "The emperor, if he follows his wishes, he does not want to start a war. If he really wants to start a war with the Ming people, this is the only way."

Huang Taiji is a smart man. He also knows the power of the Ming army, but the situation in the country is no longer tolerant of his intentions.

The Qing Dynasty was in a sharp shortage of food in front of him. Although they conquered North Korea, North Korea only surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, which was eating raw and drinking blood. In secret, North Korea was still quietly implementing the Ming Dynasty's reign. After all, in the eyes of the Koreans, the Ming Dynasty was the orthodox of the Celestial Empire.

Back then, the three major battles of the Ming Dynasty in Wanli helped North Korea to retreat to its homeland step by step. At that time, the Ming army fought the mighty of the Ming Dynasty. To this day, many Koreans are still loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

But after all, North Korea's own grain production is limited, so if they collect grain from them, they will have no rice. Mongolia is not having a good time, and the only way now is to go to war with the Ming Dynasty.

However, Huang Taiji also knew that the risk of going to war with the Ming Dynasty was huge. Maybe, as Dorgon said, the Eight Banners' children would be destroyed in the pass.
