Chapter 434
In the spring of the 14th year of the Apocalypse, as soon as the earth warmed up, Zhu Youxiao immediately issued an order to order Lu Xiangsheng, a scholar of the Wuying Temple and Minister of the Ministry of War, to return to Beijing to discuss the war against the Qing Dynasty.

At the same time, Yang Sichang, the left servant of the Ministry of War, has begun to draft the mobilization of the imperial guards scattered in various places for recruitment and expansion training to gather outside the customs.

Moreover, in addition to the Imperial Guards, the Beihai Fleet also began to be transferred from Jinmen, and its main force was transferred to the front line of Lushun and Dandong, ready to transport the Imperial Guards and all kinds of luggage to the outside of the customs by sea at any time.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao also issued a decree to Sun Chuanting, who had been promoted to the trilateral system, and Wang Zaijin, the governor of Jiliao, to strengthen the defense of the nine sides, and to be ready to deal with the dishonesty of the Mongolian Lindan Khan when the Ming Dynasty dealt with Jiannu. move.

The Ordnance Division and the Royal Industries Company were also ordered to continue to increase the production of steam-powered chariots and carriages, as well as the production of new percussion guns.

In short, according to Zhu Youxiao's request, after all his achievements have been completed in one battle, the slavery forces must be completely resolved this time, and there must be no mistakes in terms of the number of soldiers and the number of military supplies.

Jin Yiwei also strengthened intelligence activities against the Jiannu forces, and increased the frequency of sending all intelligence information about Jiannu back to Daming, so that the imperial military department could determine the best time to start the war.

On the other hand, after Huang Taiji returned to Shengjing, he hated Zhu Youxiao for taking away his beloved woman, and he also increased the speed of armament. In one expansion, it even equipped a firearms force with a population of [-].

Through this trip to Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji also felt that the war between himself and Ming Dynasty would be inevitable and would happen in the near future.

It's just that the strategic situation here has changed. The former Jiannu has changed from a strategic offensive to a strategic defensive, and the Ming Dynasty, which entered the strategic defensive due to the failure of the Battle of Salhu, has now switched to a strategic offensive.

However, Huang Taiji did not lose his determination to fight Daming because of the change in strategic situation.

On the contrary, now his desire to fight against Daming is even stronger. This is not only because his hatred for Zhu Youxiao has deepened now, and it is not only because his desire for the Lord of the Central Plains has deepened. However, if he wants to continue to gain the support of the major forces within Jiannu, he must prove the legitimacy of his rule through foreign wars.

In addition, Huang Taiji doesn't think that if Daming is stronger than before, he will definitely lose.

From Huang Taiji's point of view, his father Nurhachi raised an army with the thirteen armors, and was able to defeat Daming in the end, and he even took down dozens of cities in Liaodong, but now he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Is it possible that he can't fight Daming?

Although many of these 20 miles are the remnants of the Mongolian forces collected from the Horqin, Khalkha, and Tumote tribes in the past, as well as the Han population looted when they occupied Liaodong in the past.

But Huang Taiji believed that after such a long training, his Manchurian and Han banners would not be afraid to fight against Ming Dynasty!

What's more, there are Mongolian Lindan Khan and Luocha Kingdom as foreign aid, and the main force on my side is still cavalry, which is highly mobile and can still conduct roundabout operations at any time.

Naturally, Zhu Youxiao also knew that Jiannu still had the power to fight a war at this time. As historical figures such as Huang Taiji and Dorgon, they might really have talents different from ordinary people in military command, so he also had to prepare this time. Comprehensive, mobilize the power of the whole country to launch a war against slavery.

"Your Majesty, now the slave-building forces are mainly concentrated in the two important towns of Shengjing and Hetuala. However, the Qing factory and grain and grass are mainly stored in Hetuala. In a sense, Hetuala is more important than Shengjing. The capital city is more important. Although it is politically meaningful for me to take back Shengjing, from the perspective of destroying the slaves, occupying Hetuala first will do more damage to the slaves, which can make the If the supplies that Jiannu had accumulated for several years were destroyed, the Jiannu forces would become a tree without roots, a water without roots."

Facing the map, Lu Xiangsheng explained to Zhu Youxiao how it would be more beneficial to attack Jiannu at present, and Yang Sichang who was on the side also suggested at the same time: "Your Majesty, I think what Lu Ge said is very true, but we can come and attack the west." According to the plan, we can first gather part of our troops in the area of ​​Guangning City, pretending to encircle Shengjing City, and at the same time transport most of our troops to North Korea by sea, and use North Korea as a springboard to directly attack Hetuala and fight against Huang Taiji. One caught off guard!"

Now because of the arrival of Zhu Youxiao, a time traveler, the political fates of Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang have changed. They have been directly swapped.

But what Zhu Youxiao has to admit is that these two people are one of the few handsome talents who can be used to great advantage in this era in the late Ming Dynasty. There is a comparison between the outstanding figures of the two Tartars, Dorgon.

But in Zhu Youxiao's view, even if they may be worse than Huang Taiji and Dorgon, after accepting the advanced military theoretical knowledge training provided by him and then adding new military branches, it should allow them to have A wiser vision than Huang Taiji and Dorgon.

Moreover, in addition to paying attention to the right time and place in combat, there is harmony between people. The current Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang are not the original Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng in history. There is basically no contradiction between the two. There are contradictions and rifts, so this can be regarded as beneficial to Daming.

What's more, the current fact is that even if it is not as good as Huang Taiji and Dorgon in terms of military ability, the current military strength of Ming Dynasty alone can completely crush the 20 army of Jiannu.

The real strength of Jiannu is his Eight Banners cavalry, but the experience of the Imperial Guards after fighting with the Mongolian Horqin and Khalkha cavalry and Cossack cavalry shows that the current Imperial Guards' infantry coordination, flying battalions and chemical weapons Thanks to the blessing, it is completely possible not to be afraid of any cavalry force.

Therefore, in Zhu Youxiao's view, he has absolute confidence to win this battle. The key now is how to completely eradicate the slavery forces, so as not to break out of the siege, and then revive in the future.

"This proposal is good, but Huang Taiji and Dorgon are not simple people. Have the two lovers thought about what to do if these two guys are not fooled or even give us a plan." Zhu You Although the colonel is not as talented as these historical figures in military strategy, he can also see different places under the influence of his ears and eyes, and his understanding of these historical figures through later history.

"What Your Majesty said is very true. If Huang Taiji can really defeat our motives, or if he insists on protecting his Hetuala no matter how the battle situation changes, then it's nothing. It's just a battle in Hetuala It just turned from a light capture to a fierce battle, and our army just took advantage of this to wipe out its main force in one fell swoop, saving trouble."

When Yang Sichang said this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing to himself. This is exactly the fact that in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is useless.

"On the whole, no matter what Huang Taiji and others think, the focus of our march is on Hetuala. The second cavalry army and the third infantry mixed army leave Shanhaiguan, go from Monan to Guangning City, and go to Sheng They marched in the direction of Beijing, and then took a detour around Shiyazi and took a shortcut towards Hetuala. Hetuala!"

Yang Sichang took one last look at Zhu Youxiao and Lu Xiangsheng, then picked up the wooden pole in his hand, and pointed to several geographical coordinates in the sand table.

Zhu Youxiao has to admit that this Yang Sichang is indeed a very good staff officer, with an amazing memory, strong comprehension and coordination skills, and can quickly sort out the discussed matters into the final battle plan. Sun Chuanting, the right servant of the Ministry of War, and Lu Xiangsheng, the minister of the Ministry of War, are different from leading troops outside all the year round. Although they are civil servants, they are the commander-in-chief of one party.

……

Troops began to be transferred to the north one after another, and supplies, food and grass, as well as temporary field medical rescue teams trained by the Royal Academy of Medicine, also began to rush outside the customs.

At this time, outside the pass, the battle clouds were already densely covered. Wang Zaijin of Liaodong immediately summoned the major military officers under his command, and began to withdraw troops from the field, conduct pre-war training, and strengthen the defense of the border towns, so as to guard the rear at any time. It makes the guards who undertake the main task of combat have no worries.

Sun Chuanting also transferred Taiyuan, Yuncheng, Xi'an and other troops to the Datong area one after another, and strictly guarded against Mongolian Lindan Khan.

Not only the border towns, but royal capitals such as the Royal Industrial Company and the Royal Weaving Bureau also began to gradually reduce or directly cancel their trade with Jian slaves, and many orders were directly called back.

The Ministry of Household Affairs also officially issued a stricter restriction order. Not only salt, iron and firearms were strictly prohibited from being exported and sold, but also grain, cloth and even tea that can promote the digestion of meat eaters were also prohibited.

Moreover, the Ministry of Household Affairs also issued a notice that all major private businessmen should stop all transactions with outside the customs within two months. Once this time has passed, martial law will be imposed at Shanhaiguan and other major passes and customs, and any commercial activities will be prohibited at that time. The court will not be responsible for any losses caused by exchanges, etc.

Before the start of the war, there was already a blow. Daming's suspension of trade with outside the customs led to a decline in treasury revenue, but the establishment of slaves directly entered the severe winter period ahead of schedule.

Many commodities have become unsalable, but the Engel coefficient has increased significantly, and the price of grain for slavery has risen sharply. If it weren't for Huang Taiji's foresight, he hoarded a large amount of grain and reclaimed a lot of wasteland. Otherwise, Daming stopped trading activities. It can make him fail directly.

"This battle has to be fought. This is a war in which you die or I live. Zhu Youxiao never thought of letting us live. If I want to gain a foothold in this world, I can only use us. With the sword and arrow in his hand to plunder, no matter whether he is a tiger, leopard, jackal or a giant beast, only by defeating him can we have a chance to survive!"

Huang Taiji's eyes radiated hatred and unyielding fighting spirit, and he tried his best to encourage Baylor of all banners to continue to obey his command.

And Baylor, the flag master of each banner, also understood that the current situation had reached a situation where it had to be fought, so he didn't argue with Huang Taiji any more. They all said that it was all under Huang Taiji's command, and they also actively discussed with Huang Taiji how to deal with this situation. Daming's upcoming attack.

"Long Live Lord, according to my slaves, the Ming court may be the first to attack Shengjing City. In the eyes of Minggou people, the loss of Shengjing City, which was originally called Shenyang, has always been their shame. It is said that now Zhu Youxiao deliberately In the deceptive words, the shame of Shenyang being occupied has been emphasized countless times. Many officers of the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty took it as their mission to recover Shenyang. Many literati articles have also mentioned Shenyang countless times. We will attack Shengjing City first."

After Jierhalang said, Dorgon stood up, shook his head and said, "Prince Zheng, don't underestimate that man named Zhu Youxiao. This man might not have seen how powerful he was a few years ago. He was able to stabilize the court, but he was not farsighted enough, but now, for some reason, he seemed to have been completely reborn, or he got some chance to pull him back from a declining empire that was hard to return and the people were struggling to survive. conquered Monan, regained Hamiwei, and returned Nanping to the people of Zheng Zhilong, a giant bandit who had not been pacified for many years;
Therefore, from the point of view of the slave, Zhu Youxiao will definitely not be ignorant of Hetuala, our real important stronghold, not to mention that he has the all-pervasive Jinyiwei, so if he wants to fight, I am afraid that he will fight directly like he did back then. My Hetuala. "

Although Huang Taiji was very displeased with Dorgon's high evaluation of Zhu Youxiao, he had to admit that Dorgon was right, and he dared not take Zhu Youxiao lightly. What's more, even if Zhu Youxiao doesn't understand the truth, Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang are not simple people.

"As for how to deal with it, I seem to follow the late emperor's strategy, let him come a few ways, I will only go all the way!

No matter whether Zhu Youxiao wants to hit Shengjing City first or Hetuala first, we can't sit still. Don't forget, what kind of soldiers are we? Fight with these smart dogs whose firearm is more powerful.

According to my decree, except for the infantry of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty who stayed in the two cities of Shengjing and Hetuala, the rest of the armies immediately assembled to attack Xilin Gol in Monan. I heard that since the man named Yang Tinglin came, Xilin Gol has become a land of good harvest. There are already too many sheep to count, so it is just right for us to fight the tooth sacrifice. After the tooth sacrifice, we will directly take a detour to find an opportunity or enter the pass along the Xuanhua or Datong line. Zhu Youxiao wants to beat me outside the pass, but I will continue to beat him inside the pass ! "

Huang Taiji stood up after speaking, and said: "As for the two cities of Shengjing City and Hetuala, if you lose it, you will lose it. I, the Qing cavalry, have never given up because of the loss of a city and a pool. As for the hoarding, Now that the war is over, no matter how much you hoard, it’s useless, it’s better to ask for food directly from the people of Ming Dynasty, and then wait for them to occupy Hetuala or Shengjing City, and then attack and destroy them from the rear!”

 I watched the interview about Pu Shu all night, and also played "The Year of Innocence" all night; I felt a lot of emotion, thinking that I had mastered the routine, but found that I was even more confused after mastering the routine. This book can be regarded as writing It has reached 100 million, and there are too many flaws. I don’t know how I survived until now, and I haven’t expressed anything. As a young man in his twenties, I may not be able to express anything.The only thing that can be done is to rule out delusions.
