Chapter 681 put a long line to catch big fish
The entire southern part of the Qing Dynasty is near the sea, which means it is within the attack range of the Ming army.In the past, although these places were also harassed by the Ming army, the strength of the Dongjiang army was average, and as long as the cavalry was dispatched, they could be defeated.In fact, those Ming troops did not dare to confront the Qing army at all.

But if there is that Ming army, it will be different.If there are fewer people going, they may be defeated by them like Zhengbaiqi this time and suffer heavy losses. If there are too many people going, the mobilization of troops will definitely affect the national economy and people's livelihood!Unless the enemy is discovered, it depends on the first battle, and this Ming army has disappeared since then. I believe that it is impossible for Ming to have such an army for riots.

Just as he was thinking, he heard a commotion from outside the hall. It was an urgent letter from [-] Li.

As soon as he heard this, Huang Taiji felt a "boom" in his head, don't you suffer another big defeat, right?Can the Qing Dynasty still be tossed like this?

"Your Majesty, Jinzhou has found traces of the Ming army. It is suspected that Lushun has fallen, and there are signs of attacking Jinzhou. Please send reinforcements as soon as possible." After the report, he handed over a chicken feather letter, which made Huang Taiji heave a sigh of relief.

You haven't lost a big battle yet, but you just discovered the enemy's situation, that's okay!Thinking about it, Huang Taiji unfolded the letter forwarded by the servant and quickly read it.

After reading it, he had a determined face, and while showing the letter to Fan Wencheng, he ordered to the servant: "Decree, summon Gebeile to the palace for discussion!"

"Zha!" The servant responded, not daring to be negligent, and hurried out of the hall to deliver the decree.

At this moment, Fan Wencheng finished reading the letter, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly raised his head to look at Huang Taiji and asked, "Master, are you going to send troops?"

"Yes!" Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and shouted coldly, "I don't have to doubt that Lushun must have fallen. The Ming army must have used Lushun as a transit point for their navy. Maybe the new Ming army will also be there. Only the Ming army has the guts to attack Jinzhou blatantly!"

"Master, what if my army is dispatched and the Ming army escapes by boat?" Fan Wencheng followed Huang Taiji's thoughts and asked patiently.

Upon hearing this, Huang Taiji was taken aback for a moment, and then his face became very ugly.Jinzhou is on the sharp corner of Liaodong Bay. If the Ming army really wanted to slip away from the sea, it would be very easy, as long as there were enough ships.Since they can appear in Jinpu Town, North Korea, it means that they must have enough ships to transport them. Could it be that the army is dispatched and they are busy in the end?
Seeing that he was hesitant, Fan Wencheng continued to analyze patiently: "Master, if my army is dispatched, it would be good if we can annihilate the invading Ming army in one fell swoop. But if the Ming army runs away, the money spent by the army will be exhausted." There is a little too much food!"

Hearing this, Huang Taiji finally calmed down. He knew that Fan Wencheng must have a better idea when he said this, so he asked him, "Is there any trick Fan Qing can use?"

Sure enough, Fan Wencheng seemed to have a plan in mind, and immediately replied: "Master, the slave thinks that since the Ming army intends to plot Jinzhou, it's just right, let them give up Jinzhou, and all the Qing troops over there will return. North of Xiaoheishan..."

"What?" Huang Taiji couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard Fan Wencheng's idea of ​​retreating without a fight. The small eyes on his fat face blinked, as if he wanted to see through Fan Wencheng's heart. What's the meaning?
In fact, he didn't need to see through it, Fan Wencheng immediately explained: "Master, this is what the slave thinks. If we give up Jinzhou, my Qing Dynasty will shrink back its military power, just like retracting its fist, so that we can fight hard." Get out, that's one of them."

When Huang Taiji heard this, he suppressed his temper, pondered in his mind, and listened to Fan Wencheng's continued explanation.

"Secondly, if the Ming Kingdom captures Jinzhou, for them, this is the first time they have won the big city of Liaodong. It is a great achievement. The Ming Kingdom will definitely be excited about it, and may send more troops to garrison it. At the same time , Our Qing retreat before the war can also make them think that our Qing Dynasty is no good, and breed their arrogance."

This is an analysis from the perspective of people's hearts, and it really makes sense, Huang Taiji weighed it in his heart, and continued to listen to Fan Wencheng's words.

"Thirdly, after the deep winter, the sea freezes. At that time, my Qing Dynasty will gather heavy troops and sweep the Jinzhou area again. In this way, the sea will freeze and the navy will not be there. Those Ming troops will be turtles in the urn. Don't worry about them escaping!"

Hearing this, Huang Taiji finally understood what Fan Wencheng meant, and couldn't help being overjoyed, this is a good idea!When he was about to praise Fan Wencheng, he heard him say something else: "Besides, since the Ming army occupied such a large area of ​​Jinzhou, it can be said that the entire Liaodong Bay stretched out to be occupied by the Ming army. They must hoard supplies for the winter. If my Qing Dynasty takes advantage of the winter to take it back, it will not only wipe out the vitality of the Ming army, but also obtain a batch of food and supplies. Give up Golden State."

"Good, good, good!" Huang Taiji said three good words in a row, even stood up, walked quickly to Fan Wencheng's side, and said with a happy face, "What a slave, I didn't misread you!"

"Master Liao praised it. The slave is just thinking of a way. Everything is up to the master's wise decision." Fan Wencheng was happy in his heart, but on the surface he replied modestly.

"Good is good!" Huang Taiji said loudly, with excitement in his tone, instead of the seriousness just now, "This is called fishing for big fish with a long line, but I want to see how the bait of Jinzhou can catch it." How big is the fish, will the new fish swallow the hook?"

Based on his understanding of Ming officials and emperors, he must be overjoyed to have such a large area restored by them, and he must be reluctant to give up.Just like Mao Wenlong back then, from an unknown soldier, because he stole Zhenjiang, he was directly named the general soldier of one side, and opened a government office and a mansion.

Judging from the current movements of the Ming army, it is very likely that the Ming Dynasty will allow the Dongjiang Army and the new army to occupy Jinzhou and other places.Hehe, let them occupy it. Anyway, for the Qing Dynasty, Jinzhou is the farthest frontier land from Shenyang. Even if it is occupied, the public opinion in the country can be suppressed. Wait until the cold winter to close the net , those people in the country who jumped out to attack themselves can also take the opportunity to deal with them!
He obviously thought more than Fan Wencheng, and wanted to use this incident to punish his political opponents.Thinking of this, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and immediately discussed the specific details with Fan Wencheng.For example, when the Qing Dynasty withdrew, it had to take away everything that could be taken away, so that the Ming army could not get anything, but the Han slaves and the like were left to them, increasing their logistical burden and so on...
