Chapter 192 The situation has changed
After capturing Fushun and Qinghe, they defeated Zhang Chengyin, the general of Guangning of Ming Dynasty, and led more than 10,000 troops and horses by the deputy general of Liaoyang, Poting Xiang, the Jin army successively captured Fu'an Fort east of Fushun, Hua Bao Chong, Sancha Fort, Cuisant Fort and other eleven places.
Nurhaci, who had won successive victories, was ambitious and wanted to directly attack Chenyang and Liaoyang. However, because the two white flags had just been severely damaged, although the surrendered general Li Yongfang helped him, his strength was still insufficient compared to Chenyang, and the Liaoyang Ming army was still lacking.
After all, Chenyang and Liaoyang were the two largest important towns outside the pass of the Ming Dynasty. With the Shenyang Metropolitan Office and the Liaodong Governor, the Ming army could not give up easily.
Although they won one after another, facing such two important towns, the Jin army lacked siege equipment really wanted to conquer the casualties that Nurhaci could not accept.
At this time, news came from Ye He's troops sent troops to assist the Ming Dynasty, and the detailed works in the pass also reported that the Ming Dynasty was mobilizing troops from various towns to reinforce Liaodong. After thinking about it, Nurhaci decided to retreat voluntarily.
First, we can digest the spoils obtained from previous battles and the captured Han people; second, we can use the period before the Ming Dynasty reinforcements arrived to rest and recuperate so that the Eight Banners Erlang could maintain their physical strength and combat effectiveness.
Gong Zhengliu, who was in charge of the detailed work of the Jin Dynasty, obtained the Ming Dynasty's military transfer plan, and even he spent a lot of money to buy a copy of the memorial of "restoring Liao and destroying the barbarians" by Huang Jiashan, the new Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty.
In terms of intelligence work, in Gong Zhengliu's words, the capital of the Ming Dynasty was like a sieve that leaked everywhere. No matter how big the matter was, it could be bought with money.
Sometimes there was no need to spend money, and the censors of the Ming Dynasty could make it themselves to seek discussions on people's feelings.
Even winning battles was exciting, but it was obvious that the court dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops to Liaodong, and the Eight Banners' ministers could not sit still. Even the prince of the Crown Prince Qiying, who had disappeared due to the battle of Dadian in the previous period, urgently asked to see his father Khan.
Qian Ying was advising his father Khan to stop when he was about to get better and take the initiative to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty before the future of the Ming army. If the Ming Dynasty could accept Fushun and transfer the Qinghe line to the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom might not have to go to the Central Plains to find wealth as the father Khan said that he had raised an army.
"I have already raised my army, like an arrow on the string, how can I not make any mistakes? Besides, in the current situation, I want to withdraw my troops, and he can stop the army in the Ming Dynasty!"
Nurhaci was very upset that his eldest son suddenly became cowardly and accused Qian Ying of being so brave and good at fighting in the past, so he was given the title of Feng Guangluobeile and called him the prince of Dajin Jun. Unexpectedly, he became so timid, which really disappointed him.
"Look at the Ming army, what's the fear? Zhang Chengyin from Guangning and Poting Xiang from Liaoyang are not powerful generals of the Ming army, but I called Ama and I easily lured them in. A strong wind killed them cleanly. Everyone's heads were hung on the abandoned Fushun city. My Eight Banners's Erlang is so good at fighting. Even if he sent a million troops to the Ming Dynasty, my Eight Banners can also destroy them!"
"If there are too many people in the war, the other side will win, why should we fight in this world? In which of the amazing wars in the Three Kingdoms will win!"
"Ama knows what you think, but Ama wants to warn you that once you are bitten by a snake, you should not be afraid of the rope for ten years!"
Nurhaci's words revealed his unhappiness with the Battle of Dadian in the previous battle of Chuying. He had previously thought that the Ming Dynasty's army was really powerful, and Chuying and Abai had both been defeated, but the battle over the past two months told him that the Ming army was actually strong outside and was not a strong enemy at all.
As long as everyone in the Eight Banners and everyone dares to fight, it won’t take long for the men to build confidence in the Ming army to win every battle!
"You are honestly supravaged."
Nurhaci ordered people to tell the people that the banner masters and ministers came to discuss matters, but he did not let Chu Ying go back, because Chu Ying was his heir after all, and the Zhengbai Banner Lord, how could he not participate in the discussion?
But this time he would not let Feng Ying lead the army to the war again. He knew that Feng Ying had a shadow on the Ming army now. If he was asked to lead the army again, he would probably repeat the battle of Dadian.
Seeing that his father Khan did not listen to his advice, he had prejudice against him. He thought that his second brother Dai Shan and his friends followed him to win battles one after another. After returning to Heituala, the people of Zhenghong Banner looked different, which made the people of Zhengbai Banner, including Ju Ying, feel very disappointed.
After a while, the banner owners, including Eyidu, Fei Yingdong, He Heli, Hu Erhan and other important officials rushed to the Khan Palace. Fan Wencheng, a Han scholar who had recently surrendered to the Jin Kingdom in Fushun, was also here. This person is now being woven under the Inlaid Red Banner as a slave.
Because Fan Wencheng and his brother took the initiative to surrender, and it was rare to be a scholar, Nurhaci attached great importance to him and asked him to listen to the marquis under the tent.
"The news that Mr. Gong found that the Ming Dynasty's army was coming, and their commander was our old acquaintance Yang Hao."
Nurhaci told everyone straight to the point about the Ming Dynasty mobilizing the army to Liaodong.
"Yang Hao had a prejudice against his father Khan back then. Now he is the commander of the Ming army. He must have wanted his father Khan to have a good life." The second Beile Daishan spoke before he looked at his brother Jun Ying.
Nurhaci nodded and said, "It is reasonable for Yang Hao to be the governor of Liaodong. Since Li Chengliang passed away, who is more familiar with this pass in the Ming Dynasty except Yang Hao?"
"King Khan, Yang Hao has nothing to fear. He is just a civil servant. How capable can he have?" Nurhaci's son-in-law He Heli, who is the same age, smiled.
Nurhaci shook his head and said, "Don't take it lightly. I'll find out that the Ming Dynasty has transferred hundreds of thousands of troops this time."
When everyone heard this, they looked solemn.
"What are hundreds of thousands, at most, and at most, there are not even hundreds of thousands. According to my opinion, the generals of the Ming army have always liked to eat empty wages. Who knows how many soldiers he has?" The person who spoke was Yarhazi, the fourth brother of the Lan Banner Lord, Nurhaci.
After hearing the fourth uncle's words, the leader of the Zhenghuang Banner, Manguertai, echoed: "What the fourth uncle said is, the Ming Dynasty's troops were transferred from all over the pass, thousands of miles apart, can all these soldiers arrive on schedule? I think it would be great if they can get halfway."
"Even if you arrive, you will be far away and you will be exhausted. How can you fight?"
"So, the Ming Dynasty was just a loud thunder and a small raindrop this time. I think it would be a big threat to us who could have 30,000 or 50,000 soldiers."
“…”
Everyone said something, and I said it. Du Fengying remained silent from beginning to end, standing by and watching his younger brother and ministers.
The silence of Chu Ying also made no one of the generals of the Zhengbai Banner talk. The newly built white banner was drawn from the various banners. The banner owner Ajige was still young. Although he came to discuss matters, he definitely had no choice but to speak.
The atmosphere of discussion was very active. Seeing that his son and ministers and generals were not afraid of the Ming army, Nurhaci was very satisfied.
This is all due to a series of great victory in Fushun, Qinghe and other battles.
In the past, there were still many officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners who were afraid of it. Especially after the two White Banners were defeated last year, the Eight Banners once had the saying that the Ming army was invincible.
Now, the situation has changed a lot.
