Chapter 1072 The Emperor's Plan

All kinds of flags fluttered in the wind, but it was obvious at a glance that these flags were all second-hand goods, and some flags even showed traces of patching.

However, at this moment in Shenyang City, no one cares about these things. Their faces are full of sadness, excitement, and naturally panic and fear. Many emotions are gathered, waiting for the upcoming decisive battle to decide their own destiny!

In the silence, Huang Taiji was on the top of the wall, suddenly let out a loud shout, and shouted sharply: "Sacrifice the flag!"

As soon as the words fell, a group of people were dragged by the palace guards in yellow jackets to the top of the city, where they were exposed to everyone.

Among these people, although they also wear money rat tails, they can be distinguished at a glance in front of the serious Manchurians. These are not their tribesmen, but Han people.

Everyone was curious. All of a sudden, in the originally solemn city of Shenyang, the whispers turned into quite a commotion.

"Who are these people? Why did the emperor sacrifice flags with them?"

"It should be the flag of the Han army, why use them to sacrifice the flag?"

"..."

Most of the soldiers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were suspicious and didn't know the situation.But among so many people, when Huang Taiji ordered the arrest of those people in advance, he didn't do it secretly, so no matter what, some people always knew about it.

"These are all from Fan Wencheng's villain's house, none of them are kept, and all of them are captured to sacrifice to the flag!"

"Those who are the leaders, have you seen them? It's Fan Wencheng's brother and his father. When the Fan family was wiped out last time, they happened to be away from Shenyang, so they escaped. They can't escape this time!"

"Fan Wencheng, that dog thief, is really extinct now, what a joy!"

"..."

Basically, no one wondered why their emperor would sacrifice Fan Wencheng's family to the flag?Because Fan Wencheng is not a good thing in the impression of these ordinary soldiers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.Otherwise, there would not be the last time when Fan Mansion was smashed and burned.

As for the high-level leaders of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they were more rational, but because they knew the reason why Fan Wencheng's family was used to sacrifice the flag, none of them had any objections.

Fan Wencheng is incompetent, so it's fine if he goes to the pass and never returns. The internal response he arranged made the Qing fall into the Ming army's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain!Who should be held responsible for such an unfavorable start to the national war concerning the survival of the Qing Dynasty?

It is impossible for Huang Taiji, nor for other princes Baylor, the only one who can and should be responsible is Fan Wencheng who is not here!
The crime of sacrificing the flag is very simple, colluding with the Ming army, eating inside and out, plotting against the Qing Dynasty, that's enough!
With his mouth shut, he couldn't complain, and the tears he shed couldn't be exchanged for the medicine of regret. He raised the knife and dropped it with a click sound, and the heads of the Fan family fell to the ground one by one, and the blood splashed polluted the city wall!As for whether these people will go to Fan Wencheng to cry or settle accounts after their death, that's unknown!
The Fan family in Liaodong, the Fan family that claimed to be the descendants of Fan Zhongyan, has been extinct so far!
With one order, the whole army set off.Every soldier of the Qing Dynasty, when he turned to leave, would stare deeply at Shenyang City.Whether it's determination, reluctance, or something else, you can only turn around and embark on the journey in the end!
"Report, as soon as our scout horses left the Tiger Skin Station, they fought against a large number of Ming troops overnight, and fought against them, but failed to enter!"

"Report, the Ming army appeared around the Tiger Skin Station at night, and the Tiger Skin Station is in a hurry!"

"Report..."

The situation of the battle ahead was like flowing water, continuously reporting to the Central Army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, where the imperial driver was, Huang Taiji listened to these scouting reports, his face was very gloomy.Lu Xiangsheng dispatched so many Yebushou, it seems that Liaoyang is bound to win.

"Where is Aobai?" Huang Taiji suddenly shouted sharply.

"The servant is here!" Upon hearing this, Oboi immediately went forward and knelt down on one knee, bowed his waist, bowed his head to listen to the order.

Huang Taiji stared at his braids, and said very sternly: "You choose elite scouts, and you must break into Liaoyang to find out the battle situation in Liaoyang. If you don't achieve your goal, don't come back to see me!"

"Ming dogs are a bunch of stupid pigs. The servants will come as soon as they go, and they will definitely live up to His Majesty's will!" Obai responded loudly without hesitation, stood up, turned around and left.

Seeing Ao Bai walk away with confidence, Huang Taiji's mood unexpectedly improved a little.At this time, he needs the confidence like Ao Bai the most.He looked to the left and right, and issued another strict order: "The whole army must arrive at the tiger skin station before evening today, and those who arrive late will be killed!"

With this decree, the march of the army was obviously much faster.

The tiger skin post he mentioned happened to be sixty miles away from Liaoyang, and also sixty miles away from Shenyang, located in the middle of Liaoyang and Shenyang.

This tiger skin post was built in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, and it is one of the three post cities guarding Liaoyang.There is a ten-mile-long river beside it. In terms of geographical location, it is naturally not as steep as Anshan Post Fort, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.But its important role is to connect the middle nodes of Liaoyang and Shenyang, and it is a traffic artery.

Tiger Skin Station, 130 steps around a mile, only the south gate at the beginning.After Nurhachi occupied the tiger skin post, he opened the north gate again.The city is equipped with facilities such as a delivery station, a tiger skin post camp, and a barracks. During the Wanli period, He Shixian, the general of Liaodong, and the famous general Chai Guozhu successively stationed troops in the city of tiger skin post. But it was all short-lived.

In [-], it was Huang Taiji who led [-] soldiers to attack Tiger Skin Station. Liang Zhongshan, the guard at the time, was so frightened that he abandoned the city and fled.

The reason why Huang Taiji chose to set off early the next morning was because the infantry's one-day itinerary just happened to reach the tiger skin station. In this way, it was much safer not to camp in the wild.Then relying on the tiger skin post, you can reach Liaoyang in one day if you advance, and you can use it as a defense when you retreat.

Of course, the Tiger Skin Station is definitely not as strong as Shenyang or Liaoyang. After all, it is just a post station, and its role is not to defend against the enemy, but to serve as a traffic hub.But even so, it is also the best camping place for Huang Taiji.

Regarding this point, Emperor Chongzhen was also very clear about it.At this time, he was listening to the military report from Yebubu in front: "Shenyang slave chief Taiji personally visited 2 horses, including [-] cavalry, and they are heading to Tiger Skin Station."

"Shenyang Tanma tried to go south to Liaoyang, but was repelled by our army!"

"My Yebushou has been withdrawn from the Tiger Skin Station, and the Yebushou in the northern part of the Tiger Skin Station has been hidden in the mountains."

"Sure enough, the slave chieftain sent a large number of scouts, fearless of death, to rush towards Liaoyang. Our department obeyed the order to intercept them, and when they saw the head of Liaoyang city, they repelled them."

"..."

Everything is going according to plan, giving Huang Taiji the hope of rescue, so that he will not be scared out of his guts.Emperor Chongzhen was quite satisfied with what he heard, and immediately said to the generals below: "The Shenyang reinforcements will definitely spend the night at the Tiger Skin Station tonight. According to the plan, I will lead the new army to set off, and the other armies will be led by Lu Qing and surround them. Liaoyang, wait for me to return to my teacher."

After he finished speaking, Lu Xiangsheng still couldn't bear it anymore, and went out to play: "Your Majesty is already on the imperial conquest, there is no need to go to the tiger skin station again. The army of slave chieftains in person is incomparable to others. The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, struggling to die, You have to take precautions. If you are willing to fight for His Majesty, you will bring back the head of the slave chieftain and present it to Your Majesty!"

Other generals are not qualified to advise.However, from their expressions, it can also be seen that they agree with Lu Xiangsheng's statement, and feel that it is a bit too dangerous for Emperor Chongzhen to go to the tiger skin station in person.

However, it was clear that Emperor Chongzhen had made up his mind. He looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said decisively: "Back then, the slave chieftain dared to lead the army himself and threatened me under the capital city. Now that the emperor is personally marching, with such an advantage, is it not as good as the slave chieftain?" Chieftain? I just want to go there in person and tell the slave chieftain on the head of Tiger Skin Post City that I have not broken my promise, and I am here!"

When he said this, he saw that Lu Xiangsheng seemed to want to say more, so he sped up his speech a bit, and announced loudly in a decisive tone: "I just want to let the world know that what I said is like water poured out. Really! Anyone who dares not believe it and dares to provoke me, the slave chief is an example!"

Hearing that the emperor raised this matter to the height of the king's prestige, and wanted to show it to the world, Lu Xiangsheng knew that he couldn't persuade him anymore.

So, it was settled.The new army several times before and after added up to over [-].The first batch of new troops were elites from all sides, mainly cold weapons.But the two subsequent additions were all firearms troops.

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen chose to bring only the new army to the expedition, and to eliminate Huang Taiji in the tiger skin post, was to use this to establish prestige for himself and the new army.After all, Ming's internal affairs have not yet completed a comprehensive reform, and many places, such as the salt administration, have a huge relationship.What he said to Lu Xiangsheng just now was actually said to other people in Daming. This is his oath, whoever dares to jump out and make trouble, just jump out and try!

And he only brought the new army there because he formed the new army alone. This new army is an army to wipe out the slave chieftains, and it is a powerful army in the world.With this support, it must be able to shock the minds of most people.

The reason why he did this was that he didn't want to kill a lot of people in the country.Now that the Ming Dynasty is expanding, if it wants to compete with Xiyi for global hegemony, there are definitely not too many people in the Ming Dynasty!Those who have the qualifications to ransack their homes and exterminate their clans are not ordinary people. If they are thrown out to play games with the Western Yi, they will definitely contribute a lot to the spread of Chinese civilization.

At this time, although Daming was the country with the largest population, if one looked at the whole world, this number of people was still not enough.Once the food problem is solved, it is time to vigorously encourage childbirth!

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly realized that he seemed to be thinking too far.After withdrawing his thoughts, he smiled, entered the chat group, and gave orders.

In the evening, Emperor Taiji of the Manchu Qing Dynasty arrived at the Tiger Skin Station with his troops and horses as scheduled.Immediately, the small tiger skin post was almost full of people.It is the busiest day for Hupi Station with a lot of people.

Before Huang Taiji had time to take a breath, Oboi's right arm was bandaged, blood was leaking out, but he didn't notice it, he quickly walked into the imperial camp, hit one knee with one knee, and with a trace of exhaustion, he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, The slave does not disgrace the holy order, and found out that Liaoyang is still in the hands of my Daqing."

When Huang Taiji heard this, his heart immediately relaxed.But thinking of something, he quickly asked: "The Ming army's hundred red barbarian cannons haven't knocked down the city wall yet?"

After hearing this, Aobai showed a hint of shame on his face. He lowered his head and replied, "The servant led more than a hundred scouts and fought desperately, but he could only see the head of Liaoyang city, so he had to retreat. The red barbarian cannon of the Ming army , deployed in the south of the city, the servants have not seen it!"

The elite detectives he selected all went with the determination to die in battle.The loss was more than half, and he was really unable to advance further. If he didn't retreat in time, he was afraid that no one would report to him. Therefore, seeing that the city of Liaoyang was still guarded by the Qing Dynasty, he quickly retreated.

At this time, although he thought he was the number one warrior in the Qing Dynasty, he faced the swarming Ming troops who would not accept them at night. After seeing the bravery of these Ming troops who refused to accept them at night, he had to admit that the field scouting battle was the most important thing for the Qing Dynasty. It will not be the opponent of the Ming army.Of course, if Hauge hadn't taken away the elite of the two yellow flags, he still felt that he would have the strength to fight.

After hearing Oboi's reply, Huang Taiji looked at his injury and sighed slightly in his heart.He knew that Oboi must have tried his best.So, he ordered with a little concern: "Go down, and re-bandage the injury, so as not to leave any future troubles!"

"Slave complies with the order!" After hearing this, Obai stood up, bowed and backed away.His pace is not as striding as before, obviously exhausted.

Huang Taiji was silent for a moment, then walked out of the imperial camp, climbed to the top of the tiger skin station, and looked towards the direction of Liaoyang with the last ray of the setting sun.

At this time, in his field of vision, he could still vaguely see the traces of Daqing Tanma, guarding the tiger skin station.

Although he didn't see the figure of the Ming army Ye Bushuo, Huang Taiji still sighed in his heart, the strength of the Ming army was stronger than he expected.This battle is related to the survival of the Qing Dynasty, whether he can win or not, he really has no confidence in his heart.

Today, the Ming army may not be seen at night, but it is the Daqing Tanma who used their lives to defend the tranquility of the Tiger Skin Station.But tomorrow, maybe, tomorrow morning, the Ming army will appear around the tiger skin station if they don't accept it at night!
Due to the strength of the Ming army, the situation in Liaoyang could not be grasped in real time, which made Huang Taiji very worried.Jierhalang, who was accompanying him, also understood his worry, and said: "Your Majesty, tomorrow morning, the minister will lead the way first, and your Majesty will make a decision after ascertaining the situation and reporting back!"

After hearing this, Huang Taiji turned his head and glanced at him, but shook his head and did not agree, saying: "Most of the troops of the Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner are in North Korea, and the elite of the Two Yellow Banners were taken away by Hauge. There are not many troops, and we can no longer divide the troops. Whether it is dead or alive, whether the Qing Dynasty survives or perishes, it depends on the full strength of the leader of the army. I hope that Amin can retain his strength and cooperate with me to defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop. .”

Although the Qing Dynasty took out the only food stored, there was not much food, and it did not support a long war.With few soldiers and little food, Huang Taiji didn't have many choices.

After hearing this, Jierhalang remained silent, and looked towards Liaoyang with a heavy face, not knowing what he was thinking.
