Chongzhen Chat Group

As far as the entire Liaodong is concerned, no matter how the wild boar Pinurhachi is slaughtered, in terms of population composition, the majority are still Han people. What Huang Taiji meant by this was to show that only by including the Han people among the ordinary people of the Qing Dynasty could the Qing Dynasty's national power be greater than before.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Yue Tuo said first.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Others saw this and agreed.

Huang Taiji smiled and nodded, feeling proud in his heart. He is confident that in today's Daqing country, his vision is absolutely the first, and no one else can see this level.

After accepting the compliments from his courtiers, Huang Taiji smiled again and said: "It is gratifying that our Qing Dynasty is so strong now. But there is one thing that we still have to take seriously..."

Having said this, he paused, glanced at all the courtiers below and said: "The autumn harvest is coming, and all places must do a good job in harvesting food. I have estimated that the population of our Qing Dynasty has increased again, and this food is a problem. All food Harvesting and warehousing, and then making up the difference from North Korea, we can survive this winter."

Food issues have also been restricting the Manchu Qing Dynasty. At least for Liaodong, food has never been enough. Last time, a lot of food was shipped from North Korea, which somewhat alleviated the food crisis in Liaodong. As for how many people in North Korea have starved to death for this, that is not Huang Taiji's concern, and he will naturally not care about it.

When he said this, he stopped smiling, frowned slightly and said: "There is still no news about the situation in Guihua City, but I estimate that the Ming Dynasty will not give up Guihua City readily and is very likely to occupy it. There. This will be a great disadvantage to our Qing Dynasty. The longer it is delayed, the greater the threat will be. Therefore, after the grain is harvested and stored in the warehouse, I think that the country should still do a good job as in previous years. For food control, we must first squeeze out part of the food for military use, and then send troops to attack Guihua City directly."

Hearing this, Daishan, the eldest man, hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the population of our Qing Dynasty has increased this year, and we no longer have the sources from Shanxi merchants in previous years. If we rely solely on North Korea, I'm afraid there won't be enough food. Use it. I think... I think the expedition against Guihua City can be postponed until next year, or another source of food can be found?"

Before anyone else had time to comment on this, Huang Taiji categorically objected: "No, if it drags on for a year or two, the Ming army will gain even more benefits in Guihua City. We, the Qing Dynasty, really can't afford to delay." !”

At this point, he pondered for a moment, then softened his tone, and said to Daishan, who looked a little ugly: "In this case, how about I issue an order to Ying Erdai and ask him to collect more grain? As for the King of Korea, Just let him endure it for the sake of the Qing Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty is wise, this veteran will feel relieved!" Dai Shan heard this, hesitated for a moment, and then bowed and responded.

Even Daishan didn't object, and no one else would object, so the matter was settled.

Huang Taiji began to discuss the autumn harvest. There were routines to follow, so there was no need to worry too much. However, he still had a bit of a headache regarding the 800 cavalry troops of the new governor of Denglai. After some deliberation, it was decided to issue an order to ask the coastal states and counties to send out early warnings. If they find out that the Ming Army cavalry has landed, they will immediately seize food.

In fact, the best way is to harvest food in advance. After all, the coastline is so long, what if the cavalry is not monitored and landed? But in this case, there will be a lot less food. After weighing the situation, Huang Taiji felt that the cavalry army would have to rest and recuperate from Guanning to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and then back to Denglai. It would take some time to cross the sea to Liaodong, and it would be impossible to arrive before the autumn harvest. Therefore, he thought about asking for more food.

After the second day, he held another imperial meeting to continue discussing important matters. That is, after the autumn harvest, how many men and horses will be sent to the grassland, which banners will be sent in what proportion, which Mongolian tribes will be united, what benefits will be promised to them, etc. This matter is very complicated and involves many parties at home and abroad, so it is necessary to weigh the interests of all parties. It took a long time to discuss before it was finalized.

At the end of the meeting, Huang Taiji explained seriously: "This matter is of great importance. All banners should start preparations from now on. Once the food is in storage, the army will set off!"

Little did he know that his biggest rival, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had actually been replaced at the end of last year. He is still using old experience to do things, and he is destined to be taught a lesson.

What he didn't even know was that one day later, Qian Fugui learned the content of his imperial meeting from the prince he appointed, Hauge, and immediately sent it to the group leader through the chat group.

After Emperor Chongzhen saw the general content of the meeting, he reconfirmed his new battle plan and smiled happily. Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji, how can you fight with me?

The content of the meeting was also passed to Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chengzong through the chat group, and then the decree was issued to officially start the autumn raid code-named "Autumn Harvest Operation" before Jianlu harvested grain. In the history of later generations, the beginning of this war and the end of the war the following year were regarded as a key battle in the transformation of the Qing Dynasty's national power.

On the Ningjin front line, in the lobby of the Jinzhou Marshal's Mansion, the person in charge was not the Marshal He Kegang, but Sun Chengzong of Ji Liao, the assistant minister and supervisor, and all the generals gathered below.

Sun Chengzong's beard curled up as he spoke. After talking for a long time, he shouted in a deep voice: "This war is of great importance. The emperor personally ordered that the combat goal must be achieved. Therefore, I’ve said it before, if anyone dares to hold back on this matter, I won’t let you go easy!”

"The last general will obey your orders!" He Kegang, leading his generals, loudly responded with clasped fists.

"Okay!" Sun Chengzong shouted, and then immediately announced: "Each general will send out their elite servants, and the deputy general Cao Wenzhao will select them to form a thousand cavalry troops to go on the expedition. After the incident, they will return each servant!"

When he said this, he raised his voice again and shouted coldly: "I reiterate once again, I will never give mercy to anyone who dares to make small moves to affect this war!"

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Cao Wenzhao and told him: "If there is anyone who neglects military orders, there is no need to worry about whose servant it is. If this battle cannot be completed as planned, I will not let you off lightly!"

"The general will obey the order!" Although Cao Wenzhao did not know the specific war plan, since Sun Chengzong assigned it, he answered without fear.

If you don't work hard, you will be overtaken by that little brat who turns into a dragon, and you, an old uncle, will put your face there! Cao Wenzhao thought so in his heart.

He is already a general at the level of deputy general, and above him is the commander-in-chief of one side. Naturally, he knows the general situation of his nephew's side. Thinking back to the time when he wanted to persuade his nephew to stay in Guan Ning's army, but his nephew insisted on joining the New Army, he felt a sense of crisis in his heart that Cao Bianjiao had come from behind.
