769 The bad luck of the Qing Dynasty
Dorgon naturally knew his younger brother's thoughts. He was thinking of a way to relieve Duoduo of his crimes, so he would definitely not miss this opportunity, not to mention that this opportunity was found by himself. Therefore, he also ordered: "Just do what your master said!"
After hearing this, Ying'erdai didn't dare to disobey it, so he quickly agreed, but he was a little surprised. He didn't know what was going on in Liaodong, how could the emperor be so full of his head?
In fact, Duoduo was indeed right. Huang Taiji was really full of things and had just returned to Chenyang. At this time, he had no intention of pretending to make a move and turn bad things into good things. It’s not that he didn’t want to, but in the Battle of Gaizhou, not only did Jianlu suffer heavy losses, but all the allies of the Mongolian tribes ran away. With such consequences, he could not turn bad things into good things for him.
Seeing him leading the defeated generals and returning with a group of wounded soldiers, the prince Haoge and the important minister Amin who came out of Chenyang City were both shocked. He wanted to ask clearly, how could this happen, but Huang Taiji had a gloomy face and didn't say anything at all, so they didn't dare to ask in person.
However, the fire cannot be kept in the paper. When so many people go back, the situation of the Gaizhou war inevitably spread in Shenyang City.
When he heard that Huang Taiji personally led his troops to attack Gaizhou, he not only did not capture Gaizhou, but instead suffered losses and generals, and returned in a panic. Everyone was shocked.
Originally, when they saw Huang Taiji come back, they thought that although the loss was a bit heavy, they must have defeated Gaizhou. Now they realized that Gaizhou was still the Ming army's Gaizhou, but they came back without being defeated!
At this moment, there were a lot of noises in Chenyang City in private.
Gaizhou City is not big, far from comparable to a strong city like Ningyuan Jinzhou. The Qing emperor personally led the army to fight and took away so much food and elite troops, but he could not defeat Gaizhou. What's going on?
Many people found this battle a bit incredible based on Jianlu’s previous record! According to their ideas, this battle must have been won! But in the end, it was defeated so miserably, and Gaizhou was still in the hands of the Ming army. So, what exactly happened in the middle that led to such a miserable defeat in the Qing Dynasty?
"I want me to tell you that the Ming army is good at defending the city. This Ming army has many firearms, so it is not surprising that it can be defended!"
"So what if there are too many firearms? Our Qing soldiers are fighting many Ming soldiers. How could they lose such a battle? I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out!"
"Yes, I don't think I can just let it go. So what if Mingjun has firearms? We can completely consume their firearms according to the previous method!"
“What’s the way?”
"We used to fight against the Ming army, didn't they all have bird guns? We pretended to attack, which attracted them to shoot, consume the installed gunpowder, and then we could start a charge and win in one battle! That's what I said, what do you think?"
"By the way, there is that, where the Ming army formed a formation, so why do you have to break their formation first before attacking? There are no other things, we, the Qing Dynasty and the Mongolians, have a lot of archers? If you press them up and shoot for a few rounds, you don't believe that the Ming army formed a formation can continue to stand there. It is probably already scattered and fled!"
“…”
Among the private discussions, most people felt that the reason why the Ming army was able to defend the city was because of their improper command. They took on command roles and used their past experience to put forward their own opinions, feeling that the battle was very cowardly.
Amin heard the specific situation of the war in his mansion and learned about the discussions of people outside, and was in a good mood. He privately ignored Huang Taiji's ban and set up a large table of wine and food to enjoy.
Before, he was suppressed by Huang Taiji and had no temper. Seeing the end of Manguertai being imprisoned, he felt that he had to surrender to Huang Taiji in the future. Unexpectedly, so many things happened this year, and his unwilling heart began to move again.
Based on the news he received, now that this time he lost, many people have doubts about Huang Taiji's ability, and they feel that no matter how the Qing Dynasty is, it is impossible for him to lose so badly!
As for Amin himself, he could see the fundamental reason for the final failure. It was that Huang Taiji was too impatient and wanted to fight and decide quickly, but the result was that one tactical mistake after another, which led to the current result.
After he was happy for a while, Amin ordered the butler who stood up with his hands, "You go and spread the news quietly, don't let people know that it was spread by us."
"I understand!" The butler quickly agreed, and then listened quietly to what news! He thought to himself, is the master trying to make up rumors and take advantage of the troubled waters?
Amin sorted out his thoughts and then slowly said: "After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, the Qing Dynasty suffered one after another, the defeat of Korea, the defeat of autumn harvest, the defeat of Jinzhou, and the defeat of Gaizhou, one by one, the losses of the Qing Dynasty were greater and more. This is God's warning that the Qing Dynasty violated the rules passed down by the sweat first, and damaged the foundation for our Qing Dynasty to win many battles. Without the Eight Kings' discussions on politics, Huang Taiji was dictatorial, so this result was achieved."
Speaking of this, he stopped, thought for a while and added: "If this situation does not change, my Qing Dynasty will still be defeated, which will be very dangerous! Even the stupid Mongolians saw this clearly, and knew that my Qing Dynasty would be very dangerous if it continued like this. They didn't agree with it and ran away! Any bloody and responsible Jurchens must stand up and change this situation and save the national destiny of Dajin!"
The housekeeper was shocked, as if the master was very reasonable this time. Since Huang Taiji ascended the throne, changed the Jurchens to Manchuria, and changed the country's name to the Jin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, a series of defeats occurred. When the Khan was there, he won one battle and finally won the entire Liaodong!
The more ignorant and uncivilized a nation, the more they believe in things like gods, ghosts, fortune and other things. In fact, not only Jianlu, but in this era, even if such things happened in the Ming Dynasty, people would think so! It can be said that this is the limitation of the times.
Therefore, Amin's statement made the housekeeper think it was right, and he also felt that so many bad things happened in the Qing Dynasty one after another, and this is probably the reason.
So, seeing that Amin had no other explanation, he immediately bowed to take the order and went to handle the matter. This time, he did not think that his master was fighting for power and profit, but was devoted to the Qing Dynasty and wanted to change the bad luck of the Qing Dynasty!
In the palace, Bumubutai was a little scared when he heard the news that Huang Taiji vomited blood in Gaizhou and hurried to visit her. For her, it didn’t matter much to her defeat, but if there was something wrong with Huang Taiji’s health, it would have a great impact on her!
Thanks for the endless rewards!
