Dazheng Hall.

Huang Taiji, who had been traveling all the way, showed no sign of fatigue.

Daishan, Dorgon, Duduo, Jierhalang, Hauge, Yuetuo, Azig, Dudu, Abatai and others were all in the Dazheng Hall, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo and Ma Guozhu and others

, also in Dazheng Hall.

The atmosphere in the Dazheng Hall was a bit depressing, and everyone had no joy at all after winning the battle.

During the second expedition to Monan Mongolia, Huang Taiji completely surrendered the Chahar tribe. The two princes of his tribe had followed them to Shengjing and became hostages. This means that from now on, the Chahar tribe will forever surrender.

Later gold.

The harvest from entering the pass was also good. The army launched attacks from Xuanfu and Datong, captured many cities, and plundered a large amount of money, food and population. It once threatened the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and during the battle

, nearly five thousand Ming soldiers surrendered and became the Han army directly controlled by Hou Jin.

It is a pity that these glorious victories of the army were completely dashed by Ming Dynasty's Denglai New Army.

Fuzhou, Yongning and Gaizhou have all become empty cities. The grain, grass, ordnance, and population have all been relocated. The city is in good condition and has not suffered any damage. The city is even extremely clean. In Daishan

From the perspective of He Duduo and others, the empty city is the greatest irony to them.

The three cities that were completely evacuated suffered greater losses compared with the plunder caused by the large army entering the pass.

The two cities of Yongning and Fuzhou were two important military towns built by Huang Taiji. They had always been used to deal with the Ming army originally stationed on Pi Island. At that time, Mao Wenlong was still stationed on Pi Island. Mao Wenlong was the man who fought

Fierce, fearless and erratic in their march, they sometimes launched attacks from Fuzhou and Yongning, sometimes took boats to Linjiang, launched attacks from Xingjing and Sarhu, and sometimes even launched attacks on Fushun and Liaoyang.

attack.

Although Mao Wenlong's sneak attacks repeatedly failed, Huang Taiji was unable to live in peace. As a last resort, after Huang Taiji completely controlled Fuzhou and Yongning, he stationed many sergeants here. If Mao Wenlong of Pi Island launched an attack on Xingjing or Sa

As for the attacks in Erhu and other places, the armies stationed in Fuzhou and Yongning quickly dispatched to launch an attack on Pidao, threatening Mao Wenlong's base area, which made Mao Wenlong quite afraid.

Afterwards, the Ming army stationed in Pi Island was completely annihilated, which was launched by the army stationed in Fuzhou, Yongning and other places.

As for Gaizhou, because it is close to Lianyun Island, its geographical location is superior. Some merchants have taken a fancy to this place, setting up shops here and transporting goods, including Shengjing and other places. Many of the commodities traded are from Gaizhou.

Huang Taiji naturally noticed it and sent sergeants from Zhenghongqi to garrison Gaizhou to ensure the smooth flow of trade routes. Later, Gaizhou also became the rear area of ​​Fuzhou and Yongning. Under normal circumstances,

Many orders to sergeants in Fuzhou and Yongning were issued by Zhenghongqi officers stationed in Gaizhou.

It can be said that after several years of accumulation, Gaizhou has become a quite prosperous city in the Later Jin Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, these three cities were all captured by Denglai's new army of the Ming Dynasty. They emptied all the money and people.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji felt very painful in his heart.

The Eight Banners soldiers of Hou Jin Dynasty were indeed brave and fearless in fighting, but they also had a weakness, that is, they were generally poor. Whenever they went to fight in Mongolia or entered the customs, it was the best opportunity for them to plunder wealth. Because of poverty,

Due to the lack of production and living materials, the birth rate of the Eight Banners was not very high, and the survival rate of children was also not very high. After the capital was established in Shengjing, the situation improved somewhat, but compared with the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, the financial support was still very poor.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners Army had no military pay. Neither the imperial court of the Later Jin Dynasty nor the many flag owners could afford so much military pay. The soldiers of the Eight Banners also prepared their own war horses, bows and arrows, etc., and the court also had no control over them.

On the surface, it seems that many banner owners are very wealthy. After all, in every battle, 30% of the money, food and population looted belong to the banner owner personally, 30% belongs to the court, and the remaining 40% is owned by the sergeant personally. But

If the flag owners are required to bear the military salaries of the Eight Banners Army sergeants, they will not be able to sustain it for long.

Denglai's new army captured Gaizhou, Yongning, Fuzhou and other places, evacuated all money, grain, war horses, ordnance, and moved away almost all the population. This was the heaviest blow to Huang Taiji, who wanted to let Gaizhou go.

We don’t know how long it will take for the state and other places to return to their previous state.

After looking around and everyone, Huang Taiji finally spoke.

"In the Monan Expedition, we completely surrendered the Chahar tribe and entered the Pass. We defeated the Ming army and once threatened the capital of the Ming Dynasty. This was originally a great victory worthy of celebration, but unexpectedly, the Ming Dynasty's new Denglai army

We were stabbed in the back. We originally wanted to hold back the Denglai New Army. When the large group of troops returned, we completely wiped out the Denglai New Army who made a sneak attack. We didn't want them to run faster than rabbits. The second brother and the fifteenth brother

I led the troops in pursuit, but still couldn't intercept them."

"Gaizhou, Yongning and Fuzhou have become empty cities. Denglai's new army has plundered too much of our wealth and it is intolerable. Please tell us what we should do."

Just as Huang Taiji finished speaking, Dorgon stood up, clasped his fists and spoke.

"Great Khan, my brother feels that it is necessary to completely wipe out the Denglai New Army, just like we did with Mao Wenlong. The Denglai New Army stationed on Lushun Island, Jinzhou and Pi Island has become a serious problem for us. If we cannot

Completely annihilate it. From now on, when my army goes out to conquer, we will be attacked by Denglai’s new army behind us..."

Dorgon's suggestion was approved by almost everyone.

Only Daishan did not speak.

Of course Huang Taiji noticed that this time Denglai's new army of the Ming Dynasty raided Gaizhou, Yongning, Fuzhou and other places. The biggest loss was Zhenghongqi under Daishan's command.

Huang Taiji thought for a moment, then looked at Dai Shan and spoke.

"Second brother, what do you think?"

Daishan stood up, looked at everyone, clasped his fists and spoke to Huang Taiji.

"Great Khan, if we are going to conquer Lushun, Pi Island, Jinzhou, and even Denglai's new army in Dengzhou and Laizhou, we need to take warships, have a strong navy, and be prepared to fight on the sea."

Having said this, Daishan looked at Dorgon and Duduo brothers.

"When Mao Wenlong occupied Pi Island, he became a trouble for us. Later, Mao Wenlong was beheaded by the Ming court. The Ming army stationed on Pi Island had severe internal strife. They almost lost their combat effectiveness and no longer posed a threat to us. Under such circumstances

, we can completely wipe out the Ming army stationed on Pi Island."

"This time, the Ming Dynasty's Denglai New Army came and went without a trace. They took over Fuzhou, Yongning, Gaizhou and other places without anyone noticing. It wasn't until Gaizhou fell that we learned the news. From this

It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Denglai New Army is good, even surpassing that of the Liaodong Frontier Army. If we want to completely annihilate them, we must use all our strength."

"Great Khan, I believe that in the next step, we need to strengthen the navy. On the basis of stabilizing Liaodong, we will use the Denglai area as the focus of the next attack, and try every means to get rid of the Ming army stationed on Pi Island.

, a tight defense line has been built, and only when Fuzhou, Yongning, Gaizhou and other places are stable can we safely launch more attacks on the Ming court."

...

Huang Taiji nodded frequently. It must be said that Jiang was very experienced and the suggestions put forward by Daishan were practical.

It is a pity that Huang Taiji could not implement the suggestions put forward by Daishan. The Eight Banners Army must break through from the direction of Guanningjin, which can directly threaten the Ming Dynasty's capital. If it breaks through from Denglai, the Ming Dynasty court can mobilize more troops to attack the Ming Dynasty.

North Zhili, Henan and even South Zhili have built a strong defense line. If a war breaks out, the Eight Banners Army, backed by the sea, may be slightly careless, which may lead to an unbearable defeat.

Besides, Hou Jin has invested too much manpower and material resources in Liaodong, and almost controls the entire Liaodong region. Except for cities such as Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou, Hou Jin controls the rest.

It is inappropriate to change Houjin's overall deployment because of Denglai's new army.

"What the second brother and the fourteenth brother said are reasonable. I think we must pay close attention to Wu Zongrui next. I remember that Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others rebelled. The Denglai New Army at that time suffered all losses. Denglai

The land is thousands of miles away, and in just a few years, Denglai's new army has re-emerged, and its combat effectiveness is extraordinary."

"Wu Zongrui was very smart. He did not occupy Gaizhou, Yongning, Fuzhou and other places, plundered all the wealth in the cities, and left quickly, waiting for us to invest a lot of money to rebuild these places."

"If we invest money and people in these places, we don't know when the Denglai New Army under Wu Zongrui will attack again and plunder money and people again."

"I think Wu Zongrui and his new Denglai army will become a serious problem for us."

"You are anxious to hate the Denglai New Army of the Ming Dynasty, but it is useless. My second brother said it well. If we want to conquer the Denglai New Army, we must have a strong navy and send a large number of troops. We even need to mobilize

There are large armies stationed in Liaodong and other places. If the defense power of Liaodong is empty, the Ming Dynasty will definitely take advantage of it. We cannot bear the consequences."

Having said this, Huang Taiji stood up.

"I think we need to take a long-term approach to deal with Wu Zongrui and his new Denglai army. Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty might become our ally. Don't forget that Mao Wenlong was also an imperial minister sent by Emperor Chongzhen.

Just behead him directly."

"Fuzhou, Yongning, Gaizhou and other places should maintain their status quo and don't touch them for the time being. We will strengthen our attack on Liaodong and threaten Jinzhou, Ningyuan, Shanhaiguan and other places. If these places are in emergency, Emperor Chongzhen will definitely not be able to sit still.
