Opportunities in the 939 Crisis
As long as they are not blind, they can see that Huang Taiji's enthusiasm for Hai Lanzhu and his eyes were simply naked. In this case, no matter how close they are, they would not have any good feelings.
Therefore, when Hai Lanzhu tried to persuade her aunt and sister to return to the Korqin grassland, she did not receive any reply and her attitude became a little colder. Even her aunt even revealed a vague meaning in her words: The Qing Dynasty is very poor at the moment, so it is better to go back to the grassland early if she wants to be poor.
This result made Hai Lanzhu very sad and disappointed. She was helpless and knew that she could not stay for a long time and that a major event was about to happen, so she had to turn back to the grassland early. Of course, she didn't say hello to Huang Taiji at all, otherwise she wouldn't know what would happen.
Hai Lanzhu was actually worried about this. At this time, Huang Taiji had long put aside his love for his children, and was in a state of great anxiety. He was summoning a group of his ministers to urgently discuss the military situation in the front.
Originally, he wanted Dai Shan to consume the Ming army in Haizhou. But unexpectedly, the Ming army was gathered together with three large armies, led by Governor Denglai himself, and brought more than a dozen red cannons. With the powerful cannons, what city can be called strong?
At this moment, they all realized that the future war form will change, and it will no longer be the war model that used to be a three-fold force to siege the city, and how many lives it would cost under the city.
For the Qing Dynasty, it was far less than that of the Ming Dynasty in terms of firearms. Most of the firearms owned by the Ming army that was captured when Liaodong was captured.
"Your Majesty is right in Liaoyang. If you want to defeat the current Ming army, you cannot rely on resisting the city and defending!" Jiergalang said with a serious expression, "When the army gathered its troops on the way to Liaoyang, they looked for an opportunity to fight to defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop."
At this time, Jianlu still had confidence in the field battle of the army. After all, they were all people who had been through battle for a long time. Afterwards, they thought that the battle under the city of Gaizhou was mostly because they were too anxious and they committed various taboos and were defeated.
Therefore, after hearing Jirgalang's suggestion, many Jianlu nodded and agreed with this resolution. Huang Taiji also felt that this was the only way, but he was still very regretful. Now that it is really time to recuperate, the army will be greatly damaged once it is mobilized. If it weren't for being too close to Shenyang, he might have considered it and given up some places.
Just when Huang Taiji was about to nod and issue an order, Fan Wencheng said, "Your Majesty, I think that you can paralyze the Ming army and make it smoothly advance to the city of Liaoyang. When it attacks the city, our army attacks and intercepts the retreat route, and then cooperates with Liaoyang City inside and outside. In this way, we can eliminate the Ming army with minimal loss, and go south to seize Anshan Yibao. It is even possible to use the captured red cannons to bring back Haizhou, Gaizhou and Jinzhou..."
His words made Jianlu's eyes lit up.
"...If there are really no red barbarian cannons on the Guanning line, and only the Qing Dynasty has captured red barbarian cannons, they should attack Ning Jin with lightning speed, and before the Ming army transported red barbarian cannons from the pass, they would use red barbarian cannons to bombard these cities with red barbarian cannons!"
After Fan Wencheng finished speaking, he stood there respectfully, lowered his head, waiting for Huang Taiji's opinion. However, he was very proud, because judging from the presence, he was the only one who saw the good opportunity to exist in the current crisis.
After he finished speaking, the Chongzheng Hall was very quiet for a while. The Jianli present could not help but be shocked by Fan Wencheng's suggestion to turn defeat into victory, which was likely to recover the disadvantages in the past two years and further expand the Qing power.
"Okay, Your Majesty, this is indeed an opportunity!" Dai Shan, as the head of all his ministers, was the first to discuss.
Even Jirgalang, who is known for his wisdom, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, this battle is to defeat the invading Ming army in one fell swoop, and complete the next battle as quickly as possible. Preparation must be sufficient!"
Yue Tuo also looked excited and interrupted, "It is necessary to defeat the invading Ming army as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Guanning Ming army transported the red barbarian cannons from the Guanning, the hope of capturing Ning Jin would be small."
The other leaders of Jianlu, such as Ajige and others, were all excited and spoke, hoping to have their own place in this battle to turn the world. Even the deposed prince Haoge and Huang Taiji stipulated that he could only listen, and could not help but interrupt. The atmosphere in Chongzheng Hall became hot without realizing it.
Huang Taiji was still calm. Although his face was already filled with excitement, he still didn't speak immediately, just listening to the "buzzing" sound of the minister below. At the same time, he was naturally measuring in his heart.
If you really want to fight as Fan Wencheng said, you must call all the troops of the Qing Dynasty and concentrate all the materials. In order to win the battle, and react quickly, you will go to attack Haizhou, Gaizhou, Jinzhou, Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and even Shanhaiguan. Jinzhou and Gaizhou can be put on another place, but the line between Haizhou and Jinzhou and Ningyuan must be hit as quickly as possible.
If this battle is really won as planned, the temptation of huge results will be hard to refuse. But if you do this, it will be equivalent to betting on the fate of the Qing Dynasty. All the troops and all the materials are concentrated in this battle. If there is any change, it will be absolutely doomed!
In Chongzheng Hall, he discussed it vigorously for a while, but Fan Wencheng kept pretending to be modest. Because he knew that he was the first to promote his achievements, and as long as he won this battle, he would not be able to escape his merits. If he was too show-off at this time, he would be hated by these Manchu nobles and would not be able to do so.
Finally, when everyone in the hall expressed their opinions, they became a little quiet and looked at their emperor with their eyes, Huang Taiji finally made a decision. No matter what, Huang Taiji was a hero with great talent and ambitious in this era. After measuring, he said with a serious face: "This war is related to the destiny of the Qing Dynasty. I decided to lead the army in person. I passed my will and mobilized the whole country. The Korqin tribes will also join forces as soon as possible to defeat the Ming army and capture Guanning!"
"Long live long!" Everyone in Chongzheng Hall shouted in unison, as if they had achieved the victory they wanted.
After the meeting, the mobilization orders were mobilized to all Jianlu who were over 15 years old to go to war. For a moment, Jianlu began to jump up with Shenyang as the center. After the meeting, Haoge returned to the mansion excitedly and happily announced the order to the whole mansion. This audience naturally included Qian Fugui.
