Chapter 664: Overture to the East


In the face of blocking the door and bullying his own enemies, Huang Taiji must take action.

In the early morning of this day, in the Dazheng Hall of the Shenyang Imperial Palace, Huang Taiji, who was sitting high on the jade steps, faced the dull ministers, and after a long time, he opened his mouth and said: "Suo Etu." ” Suo Etu came out of class and knelt down and kowtowed, and replied, "The minister is here." ” Huang Taiji frowned and said: "Now that the war is about to start, there is a lot of material needs, what strategy do you have for this household secretary?"

This upcoming war is very different from the past, whether it is facing the Ming Dynasty, Korea or even Mongolia, since the time of Nurhachi, every battle is to loot, there is no need to prepare any materials by yourself, but every battle will be a lot of income.

This time, however, it is a passive defense, which requires a large amount of supplies and money to supply the army, which is the essential difference.

This is the first time since the old Khan raised an army that everyone feels that war is about money.

Suo Etu said: "Your Majesty, although my Qing Dynasty is vast, there is a serious shortage of cultivating population, resulting in a large amount of barren land, and this year's harvest is simply not enough to feed our soldiers, so the only way is to ask the emperor to send troops to North Korea, oppress the king of Korea, and then offer no less than one million quintals of grain and iron to my Qing Dynasty, otherwise we" As soon as Suo Etu said this, Fan Wencheng immediately went out of class and knelt down, "Long live the slave Qiyu, this matter must not be allowed, North Korea has been exhausted by the oppression of our Qing Dynasty, as far as the slaves know, now North Korea has starved to death on a large scale in order to raise annual food and grass materials for my Qing Dynasty, if the oppression continues, our most stable rear of the Qing Dynasty North Korea will become our most chaotic place, and we will be attacked on three sides, and then our Qing Dynasty will really be in danger." ” Fan Wencheng is right, now on the one hand, it is the Mongolian tribes under the control of Lin Dan Khan that are oppressing step by step, and on the other hand, Lu Hanqiang came to Liaoxi, ready to press himself step by step to the east, if there is a rebellion in Korea in his firm rear, then he is really embattled, and the Qing Dynasty will finish playing by itself.

Huang Taiji nodded with a heavy face and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday, I have received accurate news, Lu Hanqiang has begun to march eastward, killing the Daling River, and now it has reached the point of life and death in the Qing Dynasty, we must face our mortal enemy Lu Hanqiang, and now the first thing we must obtain is the food and materials that can supply the army to fight."

Then he raised his face and looked at Fan Wendou who was standing in the corner of the main hall.

As soon as Fan Wendou heard Huang Taiji call himself, he trembled all over his body, and he could still stand here now in fact, he was still a little useful on his own, that is to say, when he was in the Central Plains, he still had a little foundation, and he could provide some use for this Qing Emperor, but now all he can provide is the contribution of intelligence, and now Huang Taiji calls himself, definitely not because of the problem of intelligence, but since he has called himself, as a minion, he can't help but stand up, so he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down: "Slave Fan Wendou, Knock to the master. ” Huang Taiji asked with a dark face: "Fan Aiqing, can you still use your original relationship in the Central Plains to bring in another 1 million loads of grain for me?"

Fan Wendou trembled again, wanting to prevaricate, but knew that Huang Taiji was very shrewd, and he couldn't be fooled at all, and after thinking about it again, he still answered truthfully: "Master Qiqi, now transporting grain from inside the customs to outside the customs is simply an impossible thing, originally we had three channels to transport grain outside the customs, the first is Yanmen Pass, the second is Zhangjiakou, and the third is Shandong, and now, although the guard of Yanmen Pass, Jin Hengguang, was emphasized by Lu Han to the front of the army, but just like Zhangjiakou, The guards were transferred to the front of the army, but they all left some of the most descendant troops in the local area, so it was simply impossible for the grain to come out of it, and at the same time, even if the grain was transported from these two places and transported to our Qing Dynasty through Mongolia by the original route, it has now become impossible, because the land of Mongolia has become the de facto jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, that is to say, this road has been blocked, and Shandong, now it is even more impossible, because Sun Yuanhua became the governor of Denglai, trained the sailors, and strengthened the garrison, Especially at the beginning, Chongzhen sent Wang Dazhuang, who Lu Hanqiang relied on the most, to Shandong as the chief soldier in order to break up Lu Hanqiang's descendants, and this Wang Dazhuang thoroughly implemented Lu Hanqiang's line of thought, and resolutely strangled all the sea routes leading to my Dajin, so that this road can no longer be transported, therefore, long live Qiyu, the slaves are really powerless.

After Fan Wendou finished speaking, he buckled his head deeply to the ground.

Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wendou with disgust, and didn't say a word for a long, long time, this is simply a waste, but now is not the time to deal with this waste, because he is an example for himself to those businessmen who have the intention to obtain huge benefits in the Ming and Qing Dynasty, and if he is killed now, it will give people a feeling of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and the evil consequences will be very far-reaching.

But in such a situation, Huang Taiji was not depressed, and thought about a decisive decision, "Okay, since this is the case, we can only temporarily avoid its edge, shrink our strength, and then accumulate strength, I decided to let Da Ling He out, let Lu Hanqiang occupy it, Da Ling River is just an outpost in Jinzhou, and it has long been dilapidated, so I will leave it to Lu Hanqiang to toss this time." ” For Huang Taiji's decision, a group of generals have stood up to oppose loudly, because in the eyes of the generals, although the Da Ling River has long been broken after several battles, but discarding the Da Ling River is equivalent to showing weakness to Lu Hanqiang, and now everyone is still angry about the defeat of the Battle of Gyeonggi, and showing weakness to Lu Hanqiang who hit his own doorstep, everyone must not agree.

At this time, Fan Wencheng immediately stood up and praised Huang Taiji's wisdom loudly: "Giving up the Dalinghe, a place that we can take down at any time, to Lu Hanqiang is equivalent to dragging Lu Hanqiang's hind legs, and then building Dalinghe City, even if there are enough manpower, it is absolutely impossible to complete it without countless money and food for a year, as long as we drag Lu Hanqiang for a year, our situation will be reversed." ” Huang Taiji nodded, agreeing with Fan Wendou's strategic gaze, "As Fan Aiqing said, what we threw to Lu Hanqiang was not the Daling River, but a huge burden, because as long as the city is built in the Daling River, Lu Hanqiang will no longer be able to move forward, and once the city construction is successful, hundreds of people will enter, and when we recover our strength and surround the Daling River, Guan Ning will definitely not dare to save it, and these tens of thousands of people will eat Lu Hanqiang to death.

I decided to retreat the defensive line, but what we can only throw away to Lu Hanqiang is Dalinghe, and Lu Hanqiang's Yizhou and Quang Ninh Wei must not be lost, and Panshanwei must be strengthened, and Lu Hanqiang's second-step plan must not be realized.

Now, the first thing we have to face is the Ming Dynasty, I want to resist the Ming Dynasty's eastward expansion plan at all costs, and then when Lu Hanqiang is exhausted from building three cities, I will launch a resolute counterattack against him, I must be in the western Liaoning region, annihilate Lu Hanqiang, annihilate this Qing Dynasty rare opponent in a century. ” t1706231537:
