The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 210 Huang Taiji's Plan
Rewind time to May.

In May of the third year of Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong ordered the eastern and western battalions to march together.Ming generals Zhang Chun, Zu Dashou and others attacked Luanzhou. Amin and Shuo Tuo, who were in Yongping, heard the news, but only sent Baduli and hundreds of troops to support them.

Namutai, the defender of Luanzhou, was overwhelmed by the Ming soldiers' Hongyi cannons, so he had to abandon the city and flee to Yongping.

Knowing Namutai's disastrous defeat, Amin refused to accept Shuotuo's persuasion, and made his own decision. He killed all the officials who returned to the Han Dynasty, such as the governor of the Ming Dynasty, Bai Yangcui, and the prefect Zhang Yangchu. He also slaughtered all the Ming people in the city and confiscated all the money , Abandoning Yongping at night and exiting the fortress through Lengkou. So far, all the four cities in the pass occupied by the Houjin soldiers have been lost. This is the "Battle of Yongping" in history.

The defeat in the Battle of Yongping greatly shocked Huang Taiji.

Originally, losing troops and losing territory was a common thing for military strategists. Ming and Jin fought battles, and later Jin won more and lost less. But this time, what shocked Huang Taiji was that there were different orders in the army, and the princes acted according to their will. I don't know how important the population of the people is to a rising empire, and it has developed to the point where it seriously endangers state affairs.

Fan Wencheng personally experienced the whole process of the Battle of Yongping. After analyzing the situation at that time in a suggestion, he said: "Those who have abandoned Zunhua, Tu Yongping, and returned after going deep twice, must treat me as nothing." Great ambitions, but the children of gold and silk are plots. I doubt it, and I have it. Now we should strictly enforce the discipline, and no one will commit any crimes. It should be ordered to use the reasons for not guarding the inland in the past, and the intention to enter the Central Plains today, but the officials still Its job, the people restore their careers, record the talents, but there is no report, the rumors are undisturbed, and the north of the river can be passed down."

On June [-], the third year of Chongzhen (the fourth year of Tiancong), Amin's army finally returned to Shengjing, but Huang Taiji only ordered the soldiers to enter the city, not Zhubeile and ministers.

On June [-]th, Huang Taiji sent someone to ask Amin why he withdrew his troops: "Luanzhou City fell, did the Minister of Luanzhou City bring all the troops back? Amin, Shuotuo and other generals stationed in Yongping were with the Ming army. Did you lose the city after the battle? Did you fight the Ming army? You didn’t shoot an arrow at the Ming army, and you didn’t send anyone to kill the army, but you brought back all your belongings and even the lame women. Could it be that our soldiers Is it worthless to abandon them?"

Huang Taiji ordered all the generals below the commander-in-chief and above the imperial guard to be bound to Shengjing. He also called the families of the fallen soldiers to participate. He wept sadly and talked about the crimes of these people.

Three days later, Huang Taiji announced Amin's crimes in the main hall: betrayal, arbitrariness, arrogance, personal relationship with foreign countries, illegality, illegal deviance, deviance, negligence, overreach, disability, corruption of state affairs, alienation , Suffering, and loss of defense.A specific analysis of these crimes can be seen that in addition to the abandonment of the four cities this time, there are also sixteen crimes such as having different ambitions and seeking self-reliance in North Korea.

The court discussed Amin's death penalty, and Huang Taiji changed it to confinement, leaving only the sixth house, the second garden house, and [-] servants, and the rest of the property belonged to Jierhalang.Put him under house arrest.

After Huang Taiji took the Khan throne, he was in charge of the government together with Amin, Daishan, and Mang Gurtai, and was called the "Four Great Baylors".But when dealing with military affairs, Huang Taiji was in an embarrassing position of "nothing to say".

With the increasing consolidation of the Houjin regime, he just took advantage of the Yongping massacre to get rid of the most powerful Amin first.

After getting rid of Amin, Huang Taiji recruited Azig.

Ask about the last time Golden State lost.

"I heard last time that Ding Yi, the guard of Lushun Ming, said he was willing to surrender, but he wanted me to marry my daughter to him, and I would give him 20 cattle and sheep, [-] weapons and armor, and [-] taels of silver. Wan, he will raise Lushun soldiers and horses, and return together."

Azige thought to himself, this is my nonsense, but of course it cannot be denied right now, he said loudly: "Ming people are shameless and dishonest, and they are all virtues like Liu Xingzuo. Don't believe it in the big sweat, when you send troops , break Lushun, and take his life."

Huang Taiji nodded: "I didn't touch him before because Liu Xingzhi promised to help me get rid of him."

"Unexpectedly, Liu Xingzhi failed and was killed by Ding Yi on Phi Island."

"This Ding Yi is indeed a good general of the Ming army."

"..." Azig didn't know what to say for a moment.

"In your opinion, how many soldiers and horses are needed to defeat Lushun?"

Azig thought for a while: "At least eight thousand."

"Eight thousand?" Huang Taiji frowned. After that year, the Jin army attacked Lushun for the third time. Mang Gurtai led six thousand troops and broke through Lushunkou.

Now it costs eight thousand.

Azig said: "The famous general Ding Yi is very cunning, especially good at defense."

"We have not attacked during this time, giving him time to build the fort wall."

"I heard that he has [-] elite soldiers in his hands, all of whom are as elite as the Sichuan Army and the Zhejiang Army."

"If it's eight thousand, it's better to say less. In my opinion, at least 1 people must be mobilized."

"Ming people often say that when a lion fights against a rabbit, he will do his best. Of course, we must go down with a drum and don't give him a chance to stand up."

Huang Taiji nodded slowly, what you said is reasonable, but there was really no time to attack some time ago.

He returned to Shengjing from the Ming Dynasty in March. Because he won the First World War and obtained a large amount of food and population, he attracted the attention of various Mongolian tribes. Many Mongolian tribes chose to draw a line with the Ming Dynasty and seek refuge in Dajin.

In late March, the Aru tribe came to Shengjing and expressed their intention to seek refuge, and the two sides concluded an alliance.

At that time, Huang Taiji also sent Azig to look at the South Pass. Zaba and Li Shutai both demanded to attack Lushun in front of him. But at this moment, he just received a secret letter from Liu Xingzhi, and he replied, asking Liu Xingzhi to kill Ding Yi. After all, everyone had just returned from victory in the Ming Dynasty and wanted to recuperate.

Liu Xingzhi wrote back and promised to be very good, and said that he would do it in April.

Huang Taiji waited until April, but he did not expect the bad news that Liu Xingzhi failed to kill Ding Yi, but Ding Yi did it instead.

Then Hou Jin was defeated in Siping and returned home. Huang Taiji waited until June, and finally waited for Amin to come back, and found an excuse to clean up Amin.

And on the [-]th of this month, the Mongolian Huerba tribe will come to Shengjing to join Dajin.

So basically it is impossible to send troops in June.

Han Chen Fan Wencheng said at this time: "The summer harvest is just around the corner. If you really want to send troops, it's best to wait until after the summer harvest when there is enough food and grass before sending troops."

Finally, Huang Taiji and Azige agreed to send troops in July.

Three thousand Mongolian cavalry, three thousand Han soldiers, one Jiala Dajin warrior (9000 Niu recorded [-] people.) Zhengming slaves were [-], a total of [-] people, known as [-] soldiers and horses, and attacked Lushun in the Ming Dynasty.

In this battle, Azige led the team, with Dorgon and Duoduo as deputy, and they used soldiers and horses from the two white flags.

Azig was a little unhappy when he heard that.

He couldn't help but think of what Ding Yi said when he met Ding Yi that day, if Huang Taiji wins the world, will he be the first to kill you or Dorgon?
