Chapter 1014: Confidants' Secret Meeting


In Shengjing City, Huang Taiji paced anxiously in his imperial study, looking up from time to time to look up at the huge map hanging on the wall, on it, there was a dazzling red arrow, starting from the northern suburbs of Shengjing, bypassing the original Lin Dan Khan territory, directly attacking the defense line of the Great Wall in the north of the Ming Dynasty, passing through Da'ankou and Longjing Pass.

Then the arrow made a big red cross in Zunhua and went straight to the Ming Jingshi.

This is a very grand and ambitious plan, and this huge plan has been brewing in Huang Taiji's mind for a long time.

At the same time, this time Huang Taiji also learned the lesson of the last time, when he launched a palace coup d'état arbitrarily, and his intimate courtier Fan Wencheng and that very smart brother Duo Xue had nowhere to go to secretly negotiate, and constantly perfected his grand plan.

The plan is almost perfect.

At the beginning, a large amount of grain, gold and silver, as well as countless military equipment were seized in the battle with Shi Kefa, which made the Qing Dynasty, which was already materially scarce, take a breath of relief and turned over.

But Huang Taiji knew that this was a stupid move by Chongzhen and Donglin, removed Lu Hanqiang, and gave himself this opportunity, under the general trend, Chongzhen would definitely revive Lu Hanqiang again and continue to let Lu Hanqiang attack him.

As expected, Shi Kefa was defeated, Chongzhen did not hesitate to put down his face, used Lu Hanqiang again, and completely delegated power to him, agreed to almost all of his conditions, and temporarily suppressed those pig teammates for Lu Hanqiang.

Someone is dragging his feet Lu Hanqiang is already extremely difficult to deal with, no one is dragging his feet, this Lu Hanqiang is simply getting worse for himself, this time, simply come to an army of 200,000 in three ways, and come to a war of annihilation for himself, and it is really difficult for himself to parry.

Therefore, we must think of a way to solve this Lu Hanqiang once and for all, otherwise the Qing Empire will perish in his hands sooner or later.

Since Emperor Chongzhen is already wary of Lu Hanqiang, then he might as well add another force between this mustard and the rift, how to add this force is very simple, that is to learn the original means of overthrowing Yuan Chonghuan, and he raided the Ming Jingshi again, so that the great tomorrow will shake, and the whole country will be dissatisfied with Lu Hanqiang, in this way, he will properly send Chongzhen a suitable excuse to overthrow Lu Hanqiang, judging by the previous situation, Chongzhen is absolutely happy to accept this excuse, and then send an envoy himself, personally rushed to Jingshi and Chongzhen to start peace talks.

In this peace talks, Huang Taiji made the biggest concession, that is, he removed the country name, removed the emperor name, and implored Chongzhen to make himself king, and then, in order to strengthen Chongzhen's trust, he decided to send his third son to Beijing as a hostage, and then promised to pay tribute every year.

Since he is no longer just a king of the Ming Dynasty, then there is no reality that the great cause of recovering Liao will exist, and as soon as the foreign enemy goes, Lu Hanqiang's position will be embarrassing.

This is actually the most fun thing in the Central Plains Dynasty, in fact, the monarch of the Central Plains Dynasty, sometimes even the cunning rabbit kills the dog and eats meat before he dies, and the enemy army presses the border, which can make the strategists die, Chongzhen will definitely follow this routine.

Once Lu Hanqiang is removed, none of the Wenchen generals in the future will be his opponent, and in the time of his own recovery for three or five years, a brilliant Qing Dynasty will rise again, as for the son who is a hostage, he can make sacrifices for the great cause of the Qing Empire for thousands of generations, it should also be his duty, and as for the loss of a son, it doesn't matter, as long as the country is there, can he regenerate calmly.

The Han people have said that there is no family affection in the heavenly family, and this is also their duty.

As soon as this plan was decided, Huang Taiji immediately used the captured materials to rebuild the blue flag and inlay the blue flag, and did not hesitate to dig out all the men who could be used to supplement and expand the Eight Banners, so that almost all the people were soldiers.

And the defense tasks of various cities were all handed over to the Han Eight Banners, which can be regarded as a way to give full play to the defensive strengths of the Han people.

The reorganized Eight Banners of Manchuria were all in their own hands, and they claimed to be their own mobile troops.

In order to strengthen Lu Hanqiang's determination to attack him, Huang Taiji launched a war of extermination against Lin Dan Khan, and then when the border army of the Ming Dynasty poured over, he immediately retreated, which confused the entire Ming Dynasty and made them think that they were just to clear their worries for the future decisive battle.

This step was quite successful, and from the whole situation, Lu Hanqiang was deceived, and the entire Ming Dynasty seemed to have forgotten the huge gap in Lin Dan Khan's original territory.

At this time, Huang Taiji held his Manchurian Eight Banners and did not move, allowing the Han Eight Banners to continue to be consumed in three places, even if the three towns asked for reinforcements from him, and let the three gateway cities be in danger, Huang Taiji was still unmoved, and he was still nervous to observe whether Lu Hanqiang had moved his full strength.

Now, it is necessary to let Lu Hanqiang put all his troops into it, so that his Han Eight Banners cannon fodder can completely attract Lu Hanqiang's attention, attract all Lu Hanqiang's horses, and let him have no time to take care of him.

As a result, as Fan Wencheng said, the more he stood still, the more he touched Lu Hanqiang's rebellious psychology, and he did not hesitate to bet all his men and horses to start a decisive battle with himself.

In the end, judging from the information transmitted by the entire Fan Wendou, Lu Hanqiang was fooled, and the Ming Dynasty was fooled.

Now that the time was ripe, Huang Taiji decided to implement his plan to attack the Jingshi.

But this time Huang Taiji also learned to be obedient, through the last coup d'état he launched, Huang Taiji found the strong strength of Lu Hanqiang's spies in Shengjing City, so he did not completely clean up the spies in Shengjing City, he took Fan Wencheng's golden cicada out of his shell, every day he sent several troops of the Eight Banners, left the barracks in the name of training, went out a thousand and came back to a hundred, so that the four about to go out of the battle with white flags, red flags with red flags, slowly withdrew to the depths of the grassland, and in the northern military camp of Shengjing City, The flags of these four flags are still flying high, and every day, according to the original number of men and horses, they continue to bury pots and cook.

This deception succeeded again, and just when Lu Hanqiang's whole army pressed to Niuzhuang in Xinmin Liaozhong, Huang Taiji personally ordered Du Du to be the main commander, with four strengthened banners, a total of 40,000 horses, through the almost undefended Mongolian region, to raid the Ming Dynasty. t1706231537:
