On the outskirts of Shengjing, a camp with yellow flags.

When Huang Taiji dismounted and walked towards the military tent in the camp, Fan Wencheng followed not far behind with his waist hunched over, his body trembling slightly.

In the Qing Dynasty, the bordered yellow flag and the straight yellow flag represented supreme dignity, and only the emperor of the Qing Dynasty could command them.

Fan Wencheng had the highest status among the Han people in the Qing Dynasty, but he was just a slave with a white flag, belonging to Prince Duduo of Yu.

The palace guards around Huang Taiji all held their heads high. They were all bannermen with yellow flags or straight yellow flags. Even when facing many princes and princes of the Qing Dynasty, they did not need to kneel.

Along the way, there were countless bannermen and sergeants, kneeling on the ground, muttering words, and some even had tears in their eyes. Huang Taiji walked slowly, while lifting up the older bannermen and talking to them softly.

.

The distance of just over two hundred meters took a full quarter of an hour to walk.

The group finally arrived in front of the Chinese military tent.

Huang Taiji has too many things to do, and he doesn't have much time to go to the Xianghuang Banner and Zhenghuang Banner camps, but every time he comes to the banner, it can arouse the excitement of the sergeants and bannermen.

The bannermen and sergeants of Xianghuang Banner and Zhenghuang Banner also had the supreme status in the Qing Dynasty. Because of Huang Taiji, they received too many benefits, and they were naturally grateful to Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji stopped, looked back at the many bannermen and sergeants following him, and spoke loudly.

"I came to Qizhong today specifically to visit you. I am relieved to see that you are living a prosperous life and in good health. You all should go back. I still have things to discuss here..."

Huang Taiji's voice was not loud, but his voice was full of energy, and his royal prestige was fully demonstrated.

Seeing many bannermen and soldiers disperse with his own eyes, Huang Taiji spoke to the palace guards beside him.

"I have something to discuss, please stay at the door and don't allow anyone to disturb me."

When he turned around and walked into the Zhongjun tent, Huang Taiji's eyes glanced at Fan Wencheng.

Fan Wencheng hunched his back and followed Huang Taiji with broken steps towards the central military tent.

The palace guards were very familiar with Fan Wencheng. Although they looked down on the Han people, they knew very well that Huang Taiji valued Fan Wencheng. At that time, Prince Duduo of Yu once planned to rob Fan Wencheng's wives and concubines, but was punished by Huang Taiji. This was the first time in the Qing Dynasty that he was punished by Huang Taiji.

Once, after all, the rules of the Manchu Eight Banners are clear. If the flag owner likes the family of a bannerman or servant in the banner, he can take it as his own at any time. Huang Taiji, a Han, came out to punish the prince of the Qing Dynasty. For many

The palace guards were quite shocked.

The furnishings in the Chinese military tent are very simple, surrounded by white walls. The center of the room is an earthen kang, with a small square table placed on it. The earthen kang is covered with a thick layer of animal skins. If you look closely, you can see

It's tiger skin.

There is a sand table on the right side of the room, and a bow and arrow hanging on the wall on the right.

There is a furry carpet about one meter wide spread in the middle of the room.

Huang Taiji stepped on the carpet, walked straight to the front of the Tukang, raised his feet and sat down on the Tukang.

Fan Wencheng walked on the right side of the carpet, watched Huang Taiji get on the earthen bed, and stood carefully.

There are many rules in the Qing Dynasty. For example, in the Chinese military tent with yellow flags, the carpet is a red line. No matter how much trust Fan Wencheng has gained from Huang Taiji, he cannot walk on the left side of the carpet. Only Manchu nobles can walk on that side.

Qualified to walk and stand.

Strictly speaking, Fan Wencheng is not qualified to enter the military tent in the Yellow Banner. All the people who come here are Manchu nobles. Generally speaking, those standing on the left side of the carpet are the princes and princes of the Qing Dynasty, and those standing on the right side of the carpet are

Among all the generals at all levels of the Eight Banners, Huang Taiji was the only one who could sit on the Tukang.

Recently, there has been a lot of discussion in the Qing Dynasty, mainly about Wu Zongrui, the governor of Jiliao of the Ming Dynasty stationed in Liaodong, and the Denglai New Army. The mutual trade between Xipingbao, Yizhou and Guangning allowed the Qing Dynasty to obtain enough

Food, with this food, the flag owners of each banner have enough confidence, but spending a lot of money to buy these food makes many Manchu nobles uncomfortable. In the past, they relied on robbery to obtain a lot of money.

.

Therefore, when discussing government affairs, many Manchu nobles were furious and demanded to attack Xipingbao, Yizhou, Guangning and other cities to seize the wealth of the Han people.

Huang Taiji did not comment or discuss the matter specifically, but the sergeants of the Manchu Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners stationed in Liaoyang and other places have already gathered west of the Liao River.

I came to Xianghuangqi Camp specifically for this matter today.

"Wen Cheng, I brought you to the Xianghuang Banner Camp today. You should know why. I have thought about it for a long time. If the Denglai New Army of the Ming Dynasty is allowed to control all places east of the Liaohe River, let them

The unscrupulous farming and business had a great influence on our Qing Dynasty."

"The combat effectiveness of the Denglai New Army of the Ming Dynasty is not comparable to that of other armies of the Ming Dynasty. Our Eight Banners Army fought with the Denglai New Army of the Ming Dynasty several times, but failed to win. However, those princes, commanders and princes of the Qing Dynasty, Beile Beizi, just looked at

Until this point, I always think of launching an attack on Xiping Fort and other places."

"Okay, tell me what you think."

Huang Taiji's words revealed a dilemma. On the one hand, the Denglai New Army of the Ming Dynasty continued to grow and develop west of the Liao River, seriously threatening the security of the Qing Dynasty. On the other hand, the Denglai New Army of the Ming Dynasty had strong combat effectiveness and sufficient confidence. The Eight Banners

If the army launches a comprehensive attack, it may not be able to win.

Fan Wencheng thought for a moment and spoke carefully.

"Your Majesty, this servant feels that we should launch an attack on Liaodong. There are three main reasons."

"The first reason is that the Denglai New Army of the Ming Dynasty is stationed east of the Liao River. Its strength continues to grow, which may pose a threat to the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty cannot allow it to grow in strength."

"The second reason is that the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty has fallen into chaos. The Han people who had not enough to eat have united to rebel and are attacking many cities in the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor and the court of the Ming Dynasty are deeply trapped in it and cannot extricate themselves, let alone

To resolve the chaotic situation in the Central Plains, our Eight Banners Army attacked Liaodong, but the Ming emperor and the court were unable to provide any assistance."

"The third reason is that after more than a year of mutual trade, our Qing Dynasty has stored enough food to fully meet the expenses required for the expedition. Moreover, our Qing Dynasty controls all the places west of the Liao River, and the army launches an attack east of the Liao River.

, can get enough support.”

...

Huang Taiji nodded slightly and watched Fan Wencheng speak again.

"Wen Cheng, your analysis is well-founded and I can listen to it. The Qing Dynasty has obtained intelligence from Jinzhou, Ningyuan, Dalinghecheng, Guangning, Yizhou and Xipingbao, etc., which all show that the Han people in these places

The number of people has increased significantly. Last year they had a good harvest of grain. This year the weather is good and the grain is growing very well. They are about to have a good harvest again. If our Eight Banners Army launches an attack at this time, it can completely disrupt the situation in Jinzhou and other places.

Not bad.”

Fan Wencheng quickly clasped his fists and saluted.

"The emperor has foresight and foresight, and I admire him very much. I think that our Eight Banners Army does not need to launch a large-scale attack. As long as we can enter the east of the Liao River and fight, let the Han people there feel fear and make the merchants aware of the danger. The Governor of Ji Liao in the Ming Dynasty

Master Wu Zongrui cannot control many places in Liaodong well..."

A smile appeared on Huang Taiji's face.

He has already firmed up his determination to launch an attack on Xipingbao and other places. As for what kind of attack, he is still considering it. If he launches the largest attack on Xipingbao and other places and has a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty Denglai New Army in Liaodong, this is not consistent.

In the interests of the Qing Dynasty, after all, the Ming Dynasty not only had the Denglai New Army, but also had a large number of other armies. If the Eight Banners Army and the Ming Dynasty Denglai New Army were both defeated, the Ming Emperor and the court could take advantage of the situation and launch an attack on the Qing Dynasty.

All-out attack.

Although the Qing Dynasty has developed rapidly over the years, compared with the huge Ming Dynasty, its strength is still too weak. Whether it is the base it occupies or the population wealth it possesses, the Qing Dynasty cannot compare with the Ming Dynasty, so the Qing Dynasty still needs to gradually

With the development of the Ming Dynasty, they would enter the pass and attack when necessary, completely disrupting the situation of the Ming Dynasty and causing peace to all parts of the Ming Dynasty.

The Denglai New Army of the Ming Dynasty was like a dark horse that emerged from nowhere and stretched across the east of the Liao River. It made Huang Taiji feel like a stuck in his throat and made it difficult to rest. This thorn must be completely pulled out, at least to completely attack Wu Zongrui, the governor of Ji Liao in the Ming Dynasty.

Arrogance.

"Wen Cheng, let's stop saying complimentary words. I'm not used to this. It's the autumn harvest season soon. I think the effect of launching an attack during the autumn harvest season should be the best. I don't plan to launch a large-scale attack, unlike the Eight Banners Army in the past.

Just like the Guan campaign, as long as the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army can completely disrupt the stable situation east of the Liao River, it will be the greatest victory achieved."

...

When Prince Li Daishan entered the military tent in the Xianghuang Banner camp, there was no expression on his face.

After the death of his eldest son, Prince Yuetuo of Dorokeqin County, Daishan lived in seclusion and rarely participated in court affairs. He also distanced himself from many Manchu nobles in the Qing Dynasty. Huang Taiji was very wise and wise, and Daishan knew that as long as

By being honest and honest, you can preserve your family and have a good old age.

Daishan knew Huang Taiji's ambition very well. Huang Taiji wanted to take over the Central Plains. However, in Daishan's view, the current Qing Dynasty did not have that kind of strength. The Ming Dynasty was too big and could not be controlled by the current Qing Dynasty.

, maybe after one or two generations of hard work, the Qing Dynasty can completely destroy the Ming Dynasty, but not now.

Huang Taiji's sudden summons caused a stir in Daishan's heart. He could guess what was going on and could understand Huang Taiji's thoughts, but he just didn't understand why Huang Taiji came to him, a prince who had almost retired.

Arriving at the door of the Zhongjun Tent, Daishan paused for a moment. The palace guards waiting at the door quickly bowed their knees to salute Daishan. A palace guard came out and walked to Daishan, preparing to lead Daishan in.
