782 Shooting yourself in the foot

Do you think I don’t know this best strategy? You still use it as an example?

Huang Taiji suffered a deep scheming and did not reveal his inner thoughts at once. Then he thought, and then he thought, could Fan Wencheng have a good idea to win a battle, right?

Thinking of this, he was happy again and asked with some hope: "Does Fan Qing have a way to wipe out the Ming army in Gaizhou?"

"I am still thinking about it, and I have no good plans yet!" Fan Wencheng was slightly stunned when he heard it. Thinking of the power of the Ming army in Gaizhou, he replied in a low voice.

When Huang Taiji heard this, he was very disappointed, but he asked again according to his temperament: "Did Fan Qing think of a way to conquer Jinzhou and destroy the Dongjiang Army?"

If this is true, it will be a great victory, and you can also fight back against the rumors!

After hearing this, Fan Wencheng replied: "Your Majesty, I think that the enemy of Jinzhou is about maneuvering. It is better to take advantage of the ice of the sea to surround Jinzhou first, so he will not have the chance to escape back to the island next year. In this way, when the Qing Dynasty is fully prepared, he can go to Jinzhou!"

This makes sense, but Jinzhou still has a certain combat effectiveness under the leadership of the Governor Denglai. The troops sent to Jinzhou cannot be too few or too weak. But after the Qing Dynasty fought in Gaizhou, where did so many supplies come from to siege for a long time?

So he asked again: "Who should Fan Qing send, how many soldiers should he use to surround the enemy in Jinzhou?"

Fan Wencheng was not a fool. He felt a little dissatisfied from Huang Taiji's continuous questions. After all, Huang Taiji asked a lot of questions, but he could not give him a satisfactory answer.

With this understanding, Fan Wencheng felt a little anxious. However, he also knew Huang Taiji and made a teaser, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I think that the two flags of North Korea can take on this responsibility. As long as they surround Jinzhou, North Korea will no longer have to send large troops to guard it. In addition, encircling and suppressing the Ming army in Jinzhou is also for the sake of North Korea's good. Since this is the case, it is reasonable to let them pay money and food, or even send people to work in Jinzhou!"

He had a key point that he had not stated, that is, if this strategy was used, the strength of Huang Taiji would not be consumed. It would be best if the two brothers Dorgon and Duoduo could conquer Jinzhou, which would also be able to counter the rumors. If they could not conquer Jinzhou, then Huang Taiji could also take the initiative and punish Dorgon and Duoduo. The two flags had a war with the Dongjiang Army in Jinzhou. If they were consumed, it would be a good thing for Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji was also a smart person. After hearing Fan Wencheng Xian’s plan, he immediately understood the benefits. He couldn’t help but nodded to the strategy and responded: “Fan Qing’s plan is in line with my wishes! He is worthy of my sir!”

"Your Majesty Miao Zan, I am so ashamed of you!" Fan Wencheng was happy when he heard this, but he still said modestly on the surface.

Huang Taiji did not discuss this matter with him. After thinking for a moment, he asked again: "There is a result for this matter and it will take some time to come. However, there are rumors in Shenyang City. I am afraid that this rumor will not take root in people's hearts after a long time. Since Fan Qing has three strategies, why not tell them together and let me take a closer look!"

When Fan Wencheng heard this, he understood that the rumor was too threatening to Huang Taiji. He was a little anxious and had to answer: "The clerk of the servants is to send someone to announce the news and tell us about the great victory this year, just like the Qing Dynasty has taken control of North Korea!"

Speaking of this, his voice slightly raised a little, and he immediately added: "This is something that Khan had never done before. Thinking back then, the Ming Dynasty made great efforts to save North Korea from the Japanese pirates, but now, the Ming Dynasty cannot do anything to my Qing Dynasty. Let my Qing Dynasty completely take control of North Korea. This is Your Majesty's great contribution!"

When Huang Taiji heard this, his brow frowned slightly. Looking back now, Huang Taiji had a vague feeling that the Ming Dynasty did not seem to value North Korea as it used to, otherwise the Qing Dynasty would not have allowed it to control North Korea.

But the key to the problem is that this happened before he ascended the throne and became emperor. Of course, if he insisted on speaking, it would be fine, at least he could fight back some of the contents of the rumor. But overall, Huang Taiji was not very satisfied with this strategy, no wonder Fan Wencheng just set this strategy as the middle strategy.

Huang Taiji thought so and asked again: "What's the worst way?"

When Fan Wencheng heard the question of the worst, he hesitated a little, but under Huang Taiji's gaze, he finally looked at the eunuchs and palace maids serving on both sides first.

Seeing him, Huang Taiji understood what he meant, and immediately shut down everyone and then looked at him.

"When you go back to your Majesty, the best strategy is to find out the source, find the rumor-monger, and use thunder to suppress it. In this way, the rumor will not become more and more serious at least in the short term." Fan Wencheng replied carefully, "When my Qing Dynasty survives this material crisis and wins one battle after another, no one will remember this rumor again. Even if you remember, others naturally know that this is a slander of Your Majesty!"

No wonder it is a bad strategy. This method not only wants to kill each other within the Qing Dynasty, but also can only suppress it for a while. But if there is really no way, this method is indeed a way to choose.

Huang Taiji thought so in his heart that he was not a good man and a trustworthy man. In order to grab the position of Khan, he could force his father's concubine to live and buried him alive. Family affection and other things were nonsense to him. He considered that it was just that it would be the most beneficial for him to do so.

After recalling the three strategies offered by Fan Wencheng, Huang Taiji made a decision in his mind and said to Fan Wencheng: "Fan Qing keeps an eye on the rumors. If it is absolutely necessary, Fan Qing needs to do his best!"

When Fan Wencheng heard this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart. If this is the case, the other Jianlu would not hate him to the bone in the future. At this time, he felt as if he had raised a stone and shot himself in the foot. However, Huang Taiji had already spoken and he could not refuse, so he had to respond.

Huang Taiji then instructed him: "You should first follow the best policy and draw up a decree. The Dongjiang Army in Jinzhou should indeed be eliminated!"

This is nothing. Fan Wencheng immediately agreed and prepared to conceive the content of the imperial edict, and wrote a draft for Huang Taiji to see.

But at this moment, an eunuch came outside the hall to report that a messenger from North Korea had arrived.

This is really about Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. Huang Taiji immediately called a messenger and read Dorgon's memorial.

It would be fine if he didn't look at it, but he couldn't help but get furious when he saw it. He held the letter and slapped it directly on the imperial desk, making a "pop" sound, and the expression on his face seemed to be about to eat people.
