The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 782 Fan Wencheng

Hauge thought in his heart, he really came to dispatch troops, luckily I was well prepared.

The main force of Jianzhou under him has a total of less than 3 people, and these [-] Mongolian soldiers are an indispensable combat force.He immediately staggered a few steps away from Sonomu, and whispered to Wakda: "'Escort' Sonomu to Shengjing, strictly guard him, and never let him come into contact with anyone."

"Whoo."

Soon, amidst bursts of protests, Sonomu and his guards were "invited" to Shenyang.

Hauge looked at their backs and sighed secretly, "For the safety of Jianzhou, I have to wrong the Horqin tribes..."

a few days later.

A fast horse galloped from the north like crazy, and the rider waved the small red flag along the way, shouting, "Shengjing is in a hurry! Shengjing is in a hurry!"

The man ran all the way into the Qing army camp, handed a letter box sealed with wax paint to Hauge's guards, and said anxiously: "Four thousand southern troops came from the direction of Tongliao, and broke through more than ten cities and villages along the way. It's less than two hundred miles away!"

There was a sudden silence all around, almost all the main forces of the Qing Dynasty were in Jinzhou, and there were only [-] defenders in Shengjing City, could it be that the Qing Dynasty was about to perish? !
Hauge pretended to read the urgent report, glanced around secretly, suddenly crumpled the paper in his hand, pointed at the messenger soldier and shouted angrily, "Bastard, it's just four hundred barbarians who sneaked over the winding mountain, how dare you shout nonsense, Mess with my army?! Come on, cut it off for me."

"Whoo!"

Before the messenger could figure out what was going on, his head fell to the ground.

Hauge shouted to the surroundings: "Anyone who dares to spread rumors will be dealt with by military law."

When he returned to the tent, he hurriedly ordered all the main generals among his confidant generals to come to the big tent for discussion.

Before all the people arrived, another messenger came from the east.The person who came was clever and didn't shout along the way, but only handed the urgent report to Hauge.

The latter opened it to look, and his face immediately became paler. He grabbed the messenger and asked in a low voice: "Didn't it mean that there were less than [-] Korean soldiers in the rebellion, how could even Ye Keshu be defeated?!"

The 2000 troops under Ye Keshu's troops are the only remaining strength of Zhenghongqi. With the addition of more than 2000 green battalions, it should be easy to deal with [-] North Korean soldiers.

The messenger hurriedly said: "Back to the prison country, the enemy army seems to be nearly five thousand."

"Then Ye Keshu is not the whole army..."

"According to the news sent back from Kuandian, it seems that the Ming army is still here."

Hauge only felt that the world was spinning. Kuandian is the southeast hub of Liaodong, and it is only two hundred miles away from Xingjing.

After a while, a group of Manchu and Han officials gathered in the Hauge tent.

The latter just said that the Ming army appeared on both the east and west sides, and immediately aroused exclamations.

"Why did the southerners come from the direction of Horqin? Could it be that they flew across the desert for thousands of miles?!"

"Even the North Koreans dare to act wildly, it's really deceiving!"

"What's the use of defending Jinzhou if Shengjing is lost?"

"Xingjing is the land of Longxing, so I can't lose it..."

But more people bowed their heads in despair.

Hauge forced himself to calm down, and said loudly: "The Qing Dynasty is now at a time of life and death, and there are only two roads ahead."

He looked around for a week, "The first one is to negotiate a peace and keep the foundation of my Qing Dynasty."

All the generals and officials of Jianlu looked at each other in blank dismay, but no one answered.

They all knew how many people were killed and how many things were robbed after the Qing army entered the customs.surrender?How could the deep hatred of Nanming be exposed so easily and let him go?
Even if Ming Ting was really dizzy and lenient to them, but they have already seen the colorful world of the Central Plains, how can they wish that the future generations will always shrink in the bitter cold land of Liaodong?

"Okay." Hauge nodded and continued, "The second way is to fight to the death!
"I plan to keep Prince Zheng and Wakda to lead 1 troops to continue to defend Jinzhou. I personally lead 5000 horses to kill the Southern Army in the direction of Shengjing. Aobai led [-] people to help Xingjing.

"As long as we can make a quick decision on the east and west sides, and then return to Jinzhou immediately, the situation can be stabilized again!"

Immediately, three people stood up, "The last general takes orders!"

Most of the others were in a state of confusion. Seeing Hauge bring out the charter, they immediately nodded without thinking, "Jianguo has far-sighted plans..."

"However, thousands of barbarians have come from afar, and they will surely be wiped out in one battle!"

"As long as you move fast enough, it shouldn't be a problem."

Hauge was about to order the troops to be dispatched according to the plan, when Fan Wencheng cupped his hands and said, "Report to the Supervisory State, if we act like this, I'm afraid our Qing Dynasty will be in danger!"

Fan Wencheng was known as the number one counselor in the Qing Dynasty, although Hauge frowned in his heart, he still tried his best to calm down and said, "Why did the scholar say that?"

"Please think about it," Fan Wencheng said solemnly, "Since Boluo's defeat in Fujian, the repeated defeats of Prince Shuncheng and Prince Yu were all due to the division of troops.

"Since Zhu Linmi led the southern army, the southerners have excellent firearms, strict military discipline, high morale, and many tricks. Not to mention the closeness of troops, even if there are only half of our army, it is extremely difficult to win a frontal confrontation. If you divide the troops If you fight against the enemy, you will be defeated by each of them..."

Hauge was about to get angry when he heard the words, but then he thought that what he said was indeed true.The reason why I had to lead 1 troops to deal with the [-] Ming troops in the direction of Shengjing was because I unconsciously believed that it would be difficult to win without so many soldiers.

He let out a long breath, and said, "Then the grand scholar thinks that he should go out of Songshan and fight the Nanren with all his strength?"

Fan Wencheng lowered his eyes and said, "Based on what I have seen, the chance of winning a decisive battle in the south is no more than [-]%..."

"Dividing the troops won't work, and the decisive battle won't work either! Do you think the Qing Dynasty can't do it anymore?!"

"Jianguo calm down." Fan Wencheng hurriedly said, "I do have a note, but I don't know if His Highness can make up his mind."

"You said."

"Abandon Shengjing."

Everyone in the tent was stunned on the spot.After a long time, Hauge gritted his teeth and said, "Go on."

"Reporting to Jianguo, apart from Shengjing, we must abandon the Songjin line of defense and let the southern army go north." Fan Wencheng walked to the map, "but only loosen the roads on the north side of Shanxi, and keep the forts in other places. Houjian Guo made great fanfare and led a large group of weak soldiers to pretend to save Shengjing. The southern army was eager to capture Shengjing and would attack the city with its main force northward.

"The elite of our army is lying on the east side of Jinzhou. This Liaodong is the land of our Qing Dynasty. Tens of thousands of soldiers ambushing in the mountains and villages will never be detected by the Southern Army.

"When the main force of the Southerners arrives in Shengjing, I will immediately fight out the ambush and regain the forts on the front line of Jinzhou and Songshan, which will cut off the southern army's food road. With the severe cold in Liaodong, even if the southerners capture Shengjing, it will be difficult for them to run out of food. Lasted more than a month.

"At that time, our army will only have to stick to the line of Songjin and wait for the main force of Nanming to freeze to death or starve to death."

Hauge stared at the map for a long time, and finally slapped it hard on the wall, "Shengjing can be rebuilt after it's gone. So according to the strategy of the Great Scholars, the main purpose is to destroy the main force of the barbarians!"
