Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku really have connections!

Under the arrangement of the two of them, Fan Wencheng rushed out of the Guangning Gate in the west of the outer city of Beijing before the city gates closed, and then went straight to Zunhua County. Finally, he found a wall on the edge of Ji Town in the north of Zunhua County. With a very inconspicuous opening and a large sum of money, Fan Wencheng was able to get out of the border wall and enter the territory of the Karaqin Mongolia.

Because of Zhu Youjian's grain ban policy, the thirty-six Karaqin Mongolian tribes at this time were completely on the side of the Later Jin Dynasty. Fan Wencheng was a slave in Shenyang, but when he arrived at the Karaqin outside the border wall of Jizhen The Qin Mongolian tribe is the master above them.

Fan Wencheng found the camp of one of the thirty troops and took out the token of Hou Jin Kingdom. How could the other side dare to neglect him? He immediately prepared fast horses and guards, and escorted Fan Wencheng on June 25th. Arrive at Shenyang City.

At this time, Huang Taiji had just returned in triumph and had only been in Shenyang for two days. At the same time that Zhu Youjian was personally conquering Datong Town, Huang Taiji also came for a personal expedition. The targets he wanted to deal with were the same as Zhu Youjian. It was the Chahan tribe. However, he did not confront Hutu Dun Khan himself. Instead, he attacked the remaining Mongolian troops on the left flank of the Chahan tribe, which was the Dorot tribe that Huang Taiji had defeated once before. The last incident happened on the banks of the Daling River. The fighting did not completely eliminate this Mongolian group. Instead, it forced them to the grasslands south of the Greater Khingan Mountains. Between March and May, some Mongolians who broke away from the Naiman and Aohan tribes went to fight with them. The Dorot tribe converged (still cannot underestimate the appeal of the Mongolian Khan), so the power of the Dorot tribe was revived for a time. In order to completely suppress the left-wing Mongolia, Huang Taiji sent troops to the grasslands in June and fought another battle. Of course It was a great victory!

After completely expelling the forces of Hutu Dun Khan from Left-wing Mongolia, Huang Taiji returned to Shenyang and began to prepare for a general alliance attended by Harqin Mongolia, Inner Kalkha Mongolia, and Horqin Mongolia. Thus, he established himself as the leader of Left-wing Mongolia. Dominance!

In addition to this dominant position, Tiancong Khan also had another purpose in forming such an alliance, which was to get some more food from the Mongols.

Everything is fine in the Great Jin Kingdom now, but there is no food to eat!

Although the masters of the Eight Banners are not hungry yet, many Han people and Mongolian coats have starved to death...With fewer coats, the power of the Jin Kingdom will be weakened!

Because the production of the Great Jin Kingdom and the logistics supply of the Eight Banners soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty all depend on the coated slaves. If there were not so many coated slaves, it would be impossible for the Great Jin Kingdom to maintain its current combat effectiveness for a long time simply by relying on tens of thousands of bannermen. .

So Tian Conghan still has to find a way to get some food to feed the coated slaves of the Great Jin Kingdom... But the problem is that it is really not easy to get food these days!

First of all, although the Kingdom of Jin occupies a lot of fertile land, it has never had the intention to cultivate the land properly. Especially after Huang Taiji came to the throne, he attacked North Korea, Ningjin, Dongjiang, Inner Khalkha, and Haraqin. , inserting troops into the Han tribe...the surrounding forces have attacked them all over! Every time they send out troops, they have to delay a little bit of farm work, which adds up to a lot, and they can no longer cultivate the land well.

Secondly, all areas attacked by the Jin Kingdom were unable to farm and herd properly, especially in Mongolia. Due to the westward migration of Hutu Dun Khan from the Han tribe, there was a power vacuum and multi-party melee.

With this situation coupled with drought and cold weather, it is only natural for famine to occur!

After the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian, adopted the policy of strengthening the blockade after taking power, it aggravated the famine in the Jin Kingdom. Originally, Huang Taiji wanted to buy grain from the Ming Dynasty through the Karaqin tribes that had tributary relations with the Ming Dynasty.

, but I didn’t expect that this Zhu Youjian was a hard-hearted and insufferable master. No matter what the Mongolians said, good or bad, he would not agree to sell grain.

In addition to strictly guarding against food issues, the Ming emperor's shrinkage in western Liaoning and strengthening in southern Liaoning also caught Huang Taiji a little unexpectedly.

In early June this year, the Ming army actually completely abandoned a series of forts in the Jinzhou area, including Jinzhou, Dalinghe Fort, Xiaolinghe Fort, Songshan Fort, etc., and made great strides to retreat.

Now the Ming army's frontier in western Liaoning has retreated to Ningyuan Fortress!

At the same time, in southern Liaoning, the Ming army became very active. In the few months when Huang Taiji focused his attention on the left-wing Mongolia, Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of the Ping-Liao army of the Ming Dynasty, launched a massive attack on the Jinzhou Guard.

Action. The Ping Liao Army first rebuilt the Jinzhou Acropolis, then dug the Nanguan Canal and built the Nanguan Border Wall. Finally, they built forts and farmed in the south of the Nanguan Canal, which greatly transformed the Jinzhou Acropolis into a peaceful one.

The meaning of a large stronghold of the Liao Army.

Jinzhou Acropolis is much larger than Pidao. Although it is not an island, with the protection of Jinzhou Acropolis and Nanguan Canal, the long wall has become a hard nut for Nanguan to gnaw on.

Although the strength of the Pingliao army is limited and the threat to the Jin Kingdom is not too big, it is always very uncomfortable to have such a thorn in the back.

However, it was not easy for the Jin Dynasty to remove the thorn in the side of the Ping Liao Army... So before Fan Wencheng returned to Shenyang, Huang Taiji was thinking that if it didn't work, he would go back to Korea again.

By the way, the Ping Liao Army's Pidao stronghold was removed.

Although the oil and water in North Korea cannot be compared with that of the Ming Dynasty, it can still dig out some food.

Just when Huang Taiji was preparing to conquer North Korea, Fan Wencheng, who was sent to buy grain by him, returned to Shenyang after a long journey, and brought a piece of good news that Huang Taiji could not even dream of - the Ming Dynasty was about to end!

"What? What did you say? The little emperor of the Ming Dynasty was captured by the Mongols just like Ming Yingzong?" Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng, who looked gray and seemed to have suffered a lot on the road. He really felt like he was dreaming.

.

"This little emperor underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, and was surrounded by the Mongols on the Yuhe River outside Datong City!" Fan Wencheng said, "Even if he was not captured, he must have suffered heavy losses... and the situation in Datong must also be

It is very dangerous. When I was in the Karaqin tribe, I asked people to inquire about it. Shortly after I passed through, the border wall of Jizhen was completely under martial law. Great Khan, this is not an ordinary move!"

Although the border wall of Ji Town is located at the forefront, it is not always on the highest alert... After all, the Karaqin Mongolia outside the mouth does not have much strength. Unless there is news about Donglu ordering troops to gather, Ji Town is generally

There won't be a big martial law.

"Great Khan, this opportunity must not be missed, it will never come back!" Fan Wencheng said, "Whether the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty was captured or killed, the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Han tribe will definitely not be ended so easily.

Once the war in Datong becomes tense, the Ming army in Liaoxi and Ji Town will definitely decrease. Won't our opportunity come?"

Huang Taiji frowned, still a little unbelievable. Because all the policies adopted by Zhu Youjian in the ten months since he ascended the throne seem to be quite sophisticated and really difficult to deal with. He does not look like a hot-headed young king.

What he does is like a cunning old fox ruling.

Would such an old fox really underestimate the enemy and rush in, leaving the trash like Hutu Dunhan to be cleaned up?

"Fan Wencheng, you mean...bypassing Western Liaoning and breaking through the wall from Ji Town?"

"The Great Khan is wise!" Fan Wencheng, who was kneeling on the ground, suggested, "When the slave passed by the border wall of Ji Town, he found that the Mongolians there were very hungry, and everyone wanted to break into the border wall to plunder.

It's just that we can't get in! If the Great Khan can send troops to attack Ji Town, there will definitely be many Karaqin and Nekalkha Mongols following...With them charging in front, we, the warriors of the Great Jin Kingdom, can only

If you need to supervise the battle from behind, you can break through the side wall. If the Great Khan doesn't take them to eat from the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid they will all be disappointed with the Great Khan and join the Ming Dynasty to become servants!"

Huang Taiji frowned, seemed to be persuaded, and thought: "Fan Wencheng, what you said makes sense, I understand... I will discuss it with the Beiles later. If everyone supports it, then

I will take advantage of the alliance meeting in July to lead the Mongolian tribes to attack the border wall of Ji Town!"

He looked at Fan Wencheng and said, "When the time comes, give your brothers a chance to pioneer and earn a future!"
