Chapter 863 Rich Chongzhen

In the Chongzheng Hall in Shenyang, Liaodong Province, a messenger just left the hall. Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked very ugly. After being silent for a long time, he ordered Tong Yangxing, who was kneeling below, "You go ahead. Remember, to reward those who are good at farming, this year's food must be improved. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, my slaves will sleep in the fields and won't leave. We will let them cultivate more fertile fields and provide more grains to solve the food problem of our Qing Dynasty." After Tong Yangxing immediately answered decisively, he saw that Huang Taiji was no longer confused. He slowly walked back out of the palace before leaving in a hurry.

Today's Chongzheng Palace is not easy to treat. Bad news comes one after another. Huang Taiji has already killed several palace maids and chamberlains because of trivial matters.

Looking at Huang Taiji, who is just forty, he already has a head full of white hair. In other words, Huang Taiji's hair turned all white in just one year last year. It can be seen that Huang Taiji will not be in a good mood. Anyone who makes a mistake in front of him will probably be severely punished. No, before Amin went to Liaoyang, he was yelled at by Huang Taiji in Chongzheng Hall, which had never happened before.

Seeing Tong Yangxing leaving in a hurry, Huang Taiji sat on the dragon chair, feeling really bad. The messenger just came to report that the country has transported a lot of materials and troops from the sea to Gaizhou. It can be seen that these materials and troops will definitely be transferred to Haizhou. If these supplies were traveling overland from Jinzhou, the Qing Dynasty could still send troops to intercept them, but there was nothing they could do at sea. Moreover, on the section from Gaizhou to Haizhou, it is okay to send some exploration horses, but if you want to send a large army, you will not be able to bypass Haizhou, nor can you cross Haizhou. You can only watch the Ming Dynasty go to Haizhou to hoard supplies. , increased troop strength.

Of course, it would be best if we could capture Haizhou. But even Gaizhou, which is smaller than Haizhou, cannot be conquered, let alone a big city like Haizhou. Huang Taiji felt really sad when he thought of this!

In the siege battle, the Qing Dynasty knew a few tricks, such as sending troops inside in advance to cooperate with the outside, such as luring the Ming army out of the city and then ambushing all the troops to annihilate them, and then cooperating with the outside to capture the city, such as secretly bribed the garrisoned Ming generals. , and then the inside and outside cooperated to capture the city, etc. After the Ming army's targeted prevention, none of the tricks were useful.

Apart from this, the Qing Dynasty was not good at siege, and in fact, it was not good at defending cities either. On the other hand, the Ming army was good at defending cities, and they were also good at attacking cities. With the powerful siege weapon of the Hongyi Cannon, no matter how strong the city is, even if the city gate is blocked, even the city walls will be destroyed by the continuous bombardment of the Hongyi Cannon. Anshan Posthouse was not big, and Liaoyang followed. Huang Taiji really had no confidence in how long these cities could be defended when the Ming army attacked.

After thinking silently for a long time, Huang Taiji finally made up his mind and decided to accept Daishan's proposal. He immediately sent an order to withdraw the troops from Fuzhou, evacuate all materials and manpower, destroy the city, and leave nothing for the Ming army.

There is nothing that can be done about this. Haizhou and Jinzhou are all in the hands of the Ming army, and Fuzhou in the middle is Linhai. Once the Ming army launches an attack, there is no way to defend it. Anyway, Jinzhou has already evacuated once, so what if they try to move to Fuzhou again?

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji thought of internal matters again. It can be said that in the war with the Ming Dynasty last year, among the eight banners, except Dorgon's white-trimmed flag, almost the other seven banners suffered losses. Unknowingly, North Korea's military strength actually had the potential to surpass the other banners. The two flags of Dorgon and Duoduo combined are at least as strong as half-mast flag. Ever since Dorgon arrived in North Korea, he has been shrinking in North Korea.

Duduo led the army to Xinjin before and fled back to North Korea. Huang Taiji was very angry about this matter, but found that there was nothing he could do. Because the decree reached North Korea, Dorgon found reasons for not executing it.

Dorgon's behavior of constantly finding various reasons not to carry out the imperial edict made Huang Taiji finally realize that the two flags, Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner, seemed to be out of control.

To be honest, Huang Taiji has always been on guard against Dorgon and Duoduo. This situation now made him a little uneasy, and then he decided to send someone to North Korea to learn the real situation.

After finishing these tasks, Huang Taiji turned his head and looked in the direction of the capital of the Ming Dynasty, feeling sad in his heart! Now the Ming Dynasty has strengthened supervision and strictly investigated the communication with the Qing Dynasty, so that it is difficult for news from there to reach Shenyang. In one year, Ning Wan and I only sent news once. There is also Bai Yangcui, who went to buy the Hongyi cannon, but it was like nothing happened, with no news at all! Alas, if you cannot know yourself and the enemy, this battle will be difficult to fight!

At this time, Huang Taiji missed those Shanxi merchants extraordinarily!

He also tried to find some Shanxi merchants and restore the original supplies and information channels. However, at the beginning of last year, the Ming Emperor, who was so young, actually dared to be ruthless and killed the big businessmen and military and political officials in the Jin region. Or those who provided protection to those Shanxi merchants and collected money, all acted with deadly intent, so that the current affairs of Shanxi and the Qing Dynasty were a taboo topic, and no one dared to do it. Otherwise, you can make money but lose your life! There is no need to think about such a large-scale killing, at least in the short term. It is said that there is a proverb circulating among the people in Jin: Clearing up Jin will make Chongzhen rich!

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji's mind flashed back to the young emperor he saw from a distance in the capital city the year before last. He couldn't help but sigh, he still underestimated him! But I will not lose. I know the advantages of the Qing Dynasty. I will definitely pay attention to you in the future and will definitely use my own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. Xianhan conquered such a huge empire by raising an army with thirteen pieces of armor. I will never be defeated again!

While Huang Taiji secretly swore, the deposed prince Hauge went berserk in his own mansion. Anyway, since he returned to Shenyang from Horqin, he has always had a very bad temper. He even killed many Han slaves in Guang Mansion.

Today, the news in Shenyang City said that Huang Taiji might want to appoint Amin as the emperor's brother, and Hauge lost his temper; tomorrow, the news in Shenyang City said that Huang Taiji might want to appoint Jierharang as the emperor's younger brother. Hauge lost his temper again; Daishan, Yue Tuo, Azige, etc. all had similar rumors, which made Hauge lose his temper no matter how many times he lost his temper.

These days, money and wealth are not having a good time either. He still has lingering fears. He did not expect that after Hauge returned from Horqin, he called him and first asked Hailanzhu if he was still in the group. He flatly denied it because he had received instructions from Emperor Chongzhen. Unexpectedly, Hauge actually asked him if he had tipped off the Ming Dynasty? Because Hauge remembered that the group leader had connections in the court!
