Chapter 708 Decision Making (Third Change)

After being reminded, Huang Taiji took the memorial from the servant again and read it quickly.After reading it, his fat face was very ugly.

In the memorial, Yue Tuo first made an apology, and then explained the specific situation of the battle.Then he gave his opinion.He believes that Jinzhou City is under the command of Denglai Governor Lu Xiangsheng, and the morale is very high. If they attack Jinzhou without artillery, the casualties will definitely be high.Even so, it is hard to say whether it can be won in the short term.Whether it is a strong attack, a siege, or a retreat, the emperor will decide!
Huang Taiji threw the memorial to Fan Wencheng, and shouted angrily: "Thanks to me trusting him, I gave him the credit... the heavy burden. Look, he even mentioned the retreat, this is to embarrass me Is it?"

If he really retreated, then his previous arrangement of Huang Taiji would be a joke!The family members of those who were killed because of criticism before, and the people behind them may incite again in private, and there is a high possibility that other people will be bewitched by them!Therefore, this retreat is absolutely impossible!
Fan Wencheng picked up the memorial and read it quickly, his expression was also very ugly.Facing Huang Taiji's roar, he was speechless!

The Qing Dynasty had soldiers, and they were elite soldiers. One Qing soldier fought two Ming soldiers, and ten thousand Qing soldiers were invincible.However, there is no food!Without food, even elite soldiers are useless!The problem in front of me is really answering the sentence, a clever woman can't cook without rice!

It is definitely not possible to retreat. If it is a strong attack, the siege is the shortcoming of the Qing Dynasty.Especially for cities that cannot be dispatched in advance with internal support, they have basically never been beaten down by force!And in this winter, the sky is freezing, digging tunnels is a daydream, digging down the city wall is also impossible...

After much deliberation, there is no effective way to take down the city other than taking human lives!For the first time, Fan Wencheng felt that his IQ seemed a bit insufficient!

Huang Taiji had no choice but to send his trusted ministers, such as Daishan, Jierhalang, Azig, and Prince Hauge, to discuss countermeasures.

These people were summoned to the Chongzheng Hall, and when they heard the news about Jinzhou, they were immediately dumbfounded.After Hauge came back to his senses, he was even more secretly thankful that Huang Ama had left this matter to Yue Tuo instead of himself, otherwise he would have been embarrassed!
In this imperial meeting, Huang Taiji first set the tone, that is, never withdraw troops and give up Jinzhou to the Ming army!As for the others, let's talk about it later.

"Your Majesty, if there is a siege, the food in Jinzhou City will be gone!" Daishan carefully put forward his opinion.The reason why he said this was that when Huang Taiji announced his previous decision, he hoped to capture the food of the Ming army in Jinzhou City, which would be used to supplement the Qing Dynasty with food for the winter.

With a gloomy face, Huang Taiji nodded and said, "I know!"

That is to say, besieging the city is the worst strategy. If there is a good way to attack the city, you don't need to use this method of besieging the city.

Several people had no choice, so no one spoke, and the Chongzheng Hall became very quiet.The maid in the palace even tried to slow down her breathing, for fear of making the slightest sound.There have been examples before, where someone couldn't help a fart, and ended up losing his head.

Huang Taiji waited for a while, and when he saw that no one spoke, he was a little annoyed, and immediately shouted: "This is a war in Liaodong, since there is no good way, then build as many siege equipment as possible, and use human lives to destroy Jinzhou." Pile it up for me!"

Of course, what he said about using human life is definitely not the life of the Manchurians.Everyone knows this because it's common sense.

After hearing this, Haug immediately supported: "What Huang Ama said is true, those people will die as soon as they die, and they can save more food!"

Huang Taiji glanced at him when he heard the sound, but this time he nodded, affirming Hauge's statement, which made Hauge very happy.

However, Huang Taiji finally frowned and said: "No matter who is attacking by force, there is no reason to die. At least give them a full meal, so that they can have the strength to attack the city. But, what about the food, where does the food come from? "

No matter what, the word "grain" cannot be avoided!These leaders of Jianlu, when they hear this word now, their foreheads hurt!
Daishan thought for a moment, then said again: "Why don't you ask the Mongolian tribes for some food?"

Hearing this suggestion, Azig and others nodded. They are allies. Now that the Qing Dynasty is short of food, it is only natural to ask them for some food!
After hearing this, Huang Taiji thought about it carefully for a while, but finally shook his head and said: "No, the Mongolian tribes have no food. Over the past few years, it has been a difficult problem to survive the winter. But this year, in order to establish our prestige, my Qing Dynasty has already slaughtered Ao. The Han. If you want to force them to squeeze out more food, I’m afraid they will be pushed to the Ming country! Unless it’s a last resort, don’t take this step!”

Hearing this conclusion, the Chongzheng Hall fell silent again.Only Hauge, unlike others, bowed his head and meditated. After he looked at Huang Taiji and then at other people, or because he had the courage to get Huang Taiji's approval, he suggested again: "Huang Ama, this It's nothing, the big deal is the same as before, just eat the two-legged sheep!"

The leader of Jianlu who was present listened and looked up at him, but no one objected.There is really not enough food, so that's the only way to go!
Huang Taiji looked at the others, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.After all, he had already established the country and became the emperor, and this large-scale cannibalism made him feel a little embarrassed.But there is really no other way, so that's the only way.

He was about to make a decision and just set the time, but found that Fan Wencheng's face seemed a little special, as if he was thinking about something and had an idea.

Immediately, a glimmer of hope arose in his heart, and he quickly asked by name: "Fan Qing, do you have a good plan?"

Hearing this, several people in the hall looked at him, not believing that he could come up with a better way.

Seeing that Fan Wencheng heard that he was called by Huang Taiji, after a little hesitation, he replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the slave does have a plan, which is based on the prince's idea."

"Oh, let's talk about it!" Huang Taiji asked quickly after hearing this.

When Hauge heard this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, showing a trace of disdain and dissatisfaction.This Hannu, thinking of a way, even thinking about it on his own head, is not a good thing!
I only heard Fan Wencheng say to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, the guard of Jinzhou is Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai. The servant thought that this man was born as a Jinshi, a governor of one party, and a great official of the Ming Dynasty. Although he is indeed a courageous , A person with martial arts, but in the final analysis, he is still a civil servant. Since he is a civil servant, he must care about his own reputation. Therefore, the servant thought, this is his weakness, and it is also the weakness of Jinzhou!"

　Pay off the debt!
