Chongzhen Chat Group

"What? The Ming army attacked at night and Gaizhou fell?" Fan Wencheng couldn't believe it. It was winter and the sea was about to freeze. Didn't the Ming army plan to retreat?

Subconsciously, he turned his head and looked in the direction of Shenyang, as if he saw Huang Taiji being stabbed hard in the heart again! Ming army, since when did you become so good at seizing fighter opportunities? At this time, the Qing Dynasty least wanted to fight!

When he was distracted after hearing the news, he didn't notice that some Han slaves walking behind the team had obviously heard the conversation between him and the messenger. Their faces suddenly showed a look of ecstasy. But they also understand that they are surrounded by Jianlu, and if they are happy, they may be killed. As a result, their smiles immediately disappeared. But the seeds of hope are buried in their hearts.

After Fan Wencheng came to his senses, he stared blankly at the team of Han slaves in front. He had a hunch that these Han slaves would be useless, at least not in Jinzhou. The Ming army captured Gaizhou, but we still don't know what its strength is and what its intentions are. Will it be a large-scale attack, will it capture other cities, or will it just occupy Gaizhou? Relatively speaking, Golden State's gains and losses are insignificant!

With this in mind, he immediately ordered to drive these Han slaves back to Xinjin City. At the same time, he went to see the Xinjincheng garrison and suggested that he immediately send out detective horses to alert him, and at the same time report the situation to Yue Tobeile. He estimated that Shenyang's new decree would arrive soon.

As he expected, when the messenger conveyed the news to Shenyang, Huang Taiji fell down and sat on the throne, silent for a long time. The war in Jinzhou is not over yet, Gaizhou is lost again, what about Haizhou? Why didn't the Ming army stop and calm down in this winter, but they wanted to make the Qing Dynasty even worse? It's like playing chess, one general after another, and I can't handle it anymore!

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji seemed to go crazy, showing a very unwilling expression: No, it's not that he can't cope with it, but he has too few cards in his hand! The foundation of the Qing Dynasty is still too weak. If there is a problem, it will not be able to deal with it! If he were like the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, even if he lost the entire Liaodong and killed so many Ming troops, he would only lose a drop in the bucket! If I were the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I would definitely do better than that young emperor!

Thinking this, he quickly cheered up. At this point, he actually had no choice. Immediately send an order to the military. When the other Jianlu leaders heard the news, they were all shocked. Even Amin had no intention of laughing at Huang Taiji's joke.

After all, Jinzhou is far away. For the Qing Dynasty, whether it is lost or not, the impact is relatively small; but Gaizhou is different. This is the hinterland of Liaodong. If Gaizhou is lost, Haizhou will be in danger. To the north of Haizhou is Liaoyang, the gateway to Shenyang and the important town in Liaodong!

If Gaizhou is not recaptured, the Qing Dynasty will not be able to use troops against Guan Ning in the future, otherwise it will be attacked from both sides! Shenyang is no longer very safe. The number of places captured by the Ming army will increase sharply. At least Fuzhou will be very dangerous!

After a military discussion, the supplies of all tribesmen, including the food at the palace of Baylor, were reduced by half. Jierhalang led five thousand elite soldiers and immediately rushed to Haizhou to find out the situation of the Ming army and make preliminary preparations for the army's expedition.

After making this decision, Huang Taiji said coldly: "Send envoys to the allies of the Mongolian tribes and ask them to send troops and bring their own food and grass! If you cannot send troops, or if your troops are small, you must not lack food!"

Upon hearing this, Daishan quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, don't the Mongolian tribes have no food? If we force them to demand it, I'm afraid they will be dissatisfied with our Qing Dynasty and may secretly defect to the Ming Dynasty!"

This was actually said by Huang Taiji before. Therefore, the Qing Dynasty tightened its belt and did not ask the Mongolian tribes for anything.

Amin listened and nodded in agreement: "Yes, if we do this, the Mongolian tribes will know that the situation in our Qing Dynasty is not good now. We are not as strong as before. I am afraid that the deterrent force against them will not be enough, so that some of them will Those with different intentions will..."

When Huang Taiji heard this, he had a cold face, but he still explained patiently: "This time, that time! Jinzhou is too far away from the grassland, but Gaizhou was captured by the Ming army. I don't know how big this war will be. Yes, do you think the Mongolian tribe won’t know about it?”

Having said this, he paused and then said with a trace of cruelty on his face: "At this time, the Ming army actually started fighting. We, the Qing Dynasty, cannot handle it alone. In this case, we, the Qing Dynasty, are the most important thing." , try to preserve the strength of our Qing Dynasty, and let the Mongolian tribes also let out blood! At this time, it is time to see how loyal their tribes are to our Qing Dynasty. If anyone dares to disobey, it means that they have different intentions, and I will not be able to deal with them. Will the Ming army hiding in the city still be unable to deal with the herdsmen on the grassland?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Azig echoed loudly, "If those Mongolians dare to disobey, we will snatch their cattle, horses and sheep and destroy them, so that we, the Qing Dynasty, can all eat!"

He suffered a big defeat at the end of last year. After he was demoted, because he always hugged Huang Taiji and refused to go with Dorgon and Duduo, who share the same father and mother, Huang Taiji found another reason and restored his status as Baylor. Because of this, he has always been Huang Taiji's loyal lackey.

Upon hearing his words, Huang Taiji suddenly came back to his senses. Every time during the wars this year, it seems that we have been unable to make ends meet. It's no longer like before, every time you fight, you can get a lot of loot. Therefore, everyone in the Qing Dynasty likes to fight, and only in war can you get things!

If you think about it carefully, every time the Ming army fought a war, they gained something. At the beginning of the year, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, attacked the North Korean food protection team twice and took away all the food. Then, while the army was on an expedition to North Korea, Lu Xiangsheng raided the hinterland of Liaodong again, using the same tactics as before the Qing Dynasty to support war with war. He did not pay much, but caused the Qing Dynasty to suffer huge losses!

Also, the battle at Jinpu Town in North Korea caused huge losses to the Qing Dynasty, while the Ming army gained a large amount of food...

An incident from the past year flashed through Huang Taiji's mind. He found that after fighting for this year, it seemed that the Ming army did not consume much strength or pay much price!

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He understood in his heart that the Qing Dynasty could not continue like this, otherwise even if it would no longer lose the war, if it could not make ends meet in each war, the Qing Dynasty's national power would not be able to help but be consumed in this way, and it must find a way to change it!

But at this time, he obviously did not have time to consider or change the situation. The most important thing now is to deal with the Ming army in Gaizhou first!

As a result, the military meeting ended quickly, Jianlu quickly completed the assembly, and the cavalry roared out.

This news was immediately passed on to the chat group, and had already been passed on to Emperor Chongzhen by Qian Fugui when the Jianlu Cavalry Army had just left the gates of Shenyang City.
