Chapter 2546 The black tiger in Guizi scroll takes out his heart and makes a desperate move
"My son is so worried. The Great Zhou Dynasty cannot tolerate this situation for too long. Once the North Zhili side is wiped out, even if we can get Lin Dan Batur to act with us, my son is still worried about Chahar. People may not be able to pose a substantial threat to the Great Zhou, and the Chahar people and the Inner Khalkha people are holding them back, unless we can persuade the Inner Khalkha people."
Abai hesitated briefly, but still answered firmly.
"How can the Nei Khalkha people be so persuasive?" Daishan interjected disapprovingly: "That fellow Zasai is short-sighted and has a close collusion with Da Zhou. He has benefited a lot. It would be nice if he doesn't light the fire for us in the back. What else can he do? Do you expect him to cooperate with us?"
"Not necessarily." Anfeiyanggu shook his head: "Zaisai is not a fool. He will not fail to see the purpose of Da Zhou's deliberate win over him. If he really wants to wait for Da Zhou to defeat us, is there still him? good?"
"That's not what I mean. As long as the Chahar people still suppress the Inner Khalkha people, the Inner Khalkha people will not cooperate with us. For them, competing for the dominance of the grassland is the first priority." He Heli I don’t agree with Amferyancourt’s point of view.
"Well, the Chahar people are insignificant to us. It is good to have them to contain them, but it will not affect the overall situation if they are not there. Our focus is still on Liaodong, Tieling, Shenyang, and even Zizhou and Guangning. These are our Target."
Nurhaci interrupted the argument among the ministers below with a deep look.
"In the past two years, we have worked hard and accumulated strength just to wait for such an opportunity. As Abai said, if we wait any longer and wait until the big week is over, then we will face greater pressure. Jiulian Town Jiangbao and The Great Zhou Dynasty in Phoenix City, led by Mao Wenlong, formed Dongjiang Town just for us. It seems that Kuandian Six Forts also realized that they had made a mistake, so if they want to take it back,..."
Everyone here was aware of Mao Wenlong's little moves in Jiulian City and Phoenix City, but Mao Wenlong was very cunning and guarded the line from Phoenix City to Jiulian City very tightly. Basically, his newly formed troops came from Shandong and northwest. It comes by sea, and we can't interfere at all.
But if Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town has been allowed to grow, the Jianzhou Jurchen's rear will be in danger.
If the Six Kuandian Forts were recaptured by the Zhou Dynasty, Hetuala would not be stable, and there would be endless troubles. This is something Jianzhou Jurchen can never allow.
“Yongfang, you understand what I mean when I come to you this time, what do you think?” Nurhachi handed over the topic to Li Yongfang.
"What Abeibele and the other adults said just now all have some truth, but I still feel that I really don't dare to wait any longer. Once the White Lotus Sect is completely wiped out, all the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be used to deal with us. , Chahar people are suffering from ringworm and scabies, Dazhou does not take it seriously, we will definitely bear the main attack."
Li Yongfang said slowly: "I don't have much to do here in Dongjiang Town. Mao Wenlong's department has its own system and is incompatible with Zhao Shujiao and them. Moreover, Liu Wei has also been transferred. In the end, Zhao Shujiao teaches them There are also some acquaintances among my subordinates who have been contacted during this period, and many of them are willing to serve the Great Khan."
This is what Nurhachi values most. Without the countless hidden pieces pulled out by Li Yongfang, placed in Liaodong Town, which can play a special role at critical moments, Nurhaci would not have much confidence.
“Well, Yongfang, thank you for your hard work.” Nurhaci’s words were heartfelt and deeply affectionate.
"The Khan's words are serious. Since Yongfang's heart belongs to Da Jin, he should serve Da Jin. Da Zhou seems to be a giant, but in Liaodong, most of them are just people who live on empty meals, drink soldiers' blood, are greedy and violent, and fear the enemy. There are people like tigers everywhere. These fertile fields and fertile soil should be inhabited by virtuous people. The Great Khan is destined by destiny and should own the land..."
Li Yongfang's words made everyone in Nurhachi Province understand. It was as if he had eaten the fruit of human life. All his pores were stretched and he felt extremely comfortable. Look at the ministers and sons around him, who can tell? What do you mean?
You must know that Li Yongfang is not a flatterer, he is a real hard-working official, and several consecutive battles have proven his great role.
"Okay, very good. If I can capture Liaodong in the future, Yongfang, you will do the most great work. I will never forget it and I will definitely get a generous reward."
The Great Khan rarely expressed such clear words of appreciation and commitment, even to his most trusted ministers. Li Yongfang was the first to receive this honor.
“Yongfang’s great love will be remembered in his heart.” Li Yongfang was also deeply moved.
"Well, Yongfang, I will go say hello to the Chahar people. They, including the Tumut people, Su Nang have been eager to try. I think these are all things we can contact. As for the Inner Khalkha people, I will Send someone to talk to Zaisai. Even if he wants to dominate Mongolia, he shouldn't drag the Chahar people to consume each other with Dazhou. Just let him be quiet for a while and wait and see whether he succeeds or fails..."
Nurhaci paused: "The key is still in Liaodong. We can't wait until Dongjiang Town is really established. Now Mao Wenlong's few troops are not enough. Liu Wei is gone, leaving only Zhao Lejiao and Du Song, and The Zu brothers are somewhat capable of fighting, so I intend this battle to be between Dongning Guard and Zizai Prefecture (Liaoyang), and no matter what happens, I will take down the Shenyang Central Guard."
Everyone here couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The last battle was so brutal that even Tieling Guard failed to be captured in the end. Now the Great Khan actually proposed to attack Dongning Guard and Shenyang Central Guard. This appetite is too much. A little bit.
Seeing that everyone looked timid and solemn, Nurhachi could understand.
The last war left a deep shadow on the Eight Banners. Almost every household wore mourning, which also attracted a lot of complaints.
But he also knew that once the Great Zhou Dynasty resolved the White Lotus Rebellion in North Zhili, the situation for the Jianzhou Jurchens would be even more difficult. If this opportunity was lost, the Jianzhou Jurchens might have to switch from offensive to defensive in the future, and they could only place their hopes on Will there be another civil strife within Dazhou?
The feeling of completely placing your fate on others is unpleasant. Nurhachi is unwilling to accept this result, so he must launch this war.
"I know everyone is thinking about how much hope we have of winning, or what kind of result we can get in the end. But when we set up our troops with thirteen armors, will it be easy? Is it easier than now? But we still take one step. We have come here in one step, and you all know the situation we are in now. If we drag it on, we will suffer nothing, and finally wait until the Great Zhou has solved all the internal and external troubles before attacking us, what will be our outcome? No one knows. "
"So we can only take this desperate step, just to take advantage of the time when Da Zhou has no time to be distracted, to bite another piece of meat. As long as we capture Dongning Wei and Zi Zaizhou, the population under our rule can increase by at least 500,000. By capturing Shenyang Zhongwei and Tielingwei, we can at least increase the population by 200,000. Perhaps this population is insignificant to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but for us, the nourishment of these 200,000 to 300,000 people will be enough in three to five years. We will have the confidence to annex the entire Liaodong! "
I have to say that Nurhaci is very good at deceiving people. Several important ministers, Daishan, Mang Gurtai and others are eager to try and win great achievements in this battle.
Capturing Shenyang can increase at least 200,000 troops and civilians. Capturing Liaoyang will basically swallow up the essence of the entire Liaodong town by Jianzhou Jurchens. The population of 500,000 is not a lie. In the entire Liaodong, only Guangning in Liaoxi is left. , but at that time Liaoxi was completely on the defensive and at a disadvantage, with little power to counterattack.
But Nurhachi knew in his heart that it was unrealistic to capture Liaoyang, as it involved the threat that a large flank like Liaonan and Dongjiang Town might face. However, he felt that he was sure of capturing Shenyang, especially since Li Yongfang gave him He wrote several secret documents detailing his secret activities in Shenyang.
After Fushun Fort and Fushun Pass were repeatedly broken through by the Jianzhou Army, Zhao led the army to strengthen the defenses from Fushun Pass to Chaihe Fort to prevent the Jianzhou Army from breaking through from this line and inserting into the rear of Panhe.
At the same time, troops were also added to the lines south of Fushun Pass such as Crow Falcon Pass and Weizi Valley, as well as Dongzhou Fort, Magendan Fort, Sanyangyu Fort and Qinghe Fort, but they were slightly less than those on the northern line because Jianzhou The army broke through from here. Firstly, it was not far from Liaoyang Dongning Guards. Secondly, there was Weining Battalion stationed in this open area, with a total of 15,000 troops stationed here.
Zhao Lijiao probably never thought that the Jianzhou Jurchens would dare to be so crazy and launch an attack directly from here to Liaoyang. Even if they could break through this section of the road for hundreds of miles, Weining Camp had heavy troops stationed, and it was not just anyone who wanted to come.
Li Yongfang mentioned in his secret compromise that he had bribed many generals, such as Jin Yuhe who was guarding Sanyangyu Fort, and the three brothers Shi Tingzhu, Shi Tianzhu and Shi Guozhu who were guarding Qinghe Fort were still hesitant, but the most important thing was that he got through Yao. The pass of General Sun Degong at Falcon Pass can be said to be the most important breakthrough.
Once Crow Falcon Pass is opened, Qinghe Fort and Sanyangyu Fort will be completely open. The Jianzhou Army can drive straight in to attack Weining Camp, or they can turn around and head north to attack Fengji Fort, Baitapu, and Hupiyi, and intercept them. Shenyang central defender's back line.
Fengji Fort is the most important supply station in the rear of Shenyang Zhongwei, while Baitapu is the choke point from Shenyang Zhongwei to Liaoyang Dongningwei, and Hupiyi is the material transfer station between Shenyang Zhongwei and Liaoyang Dongningwei. .
These three places are almost impossible to protect. As long as Qinghe Fort and Sanyangyu Fort are broken through, the entire Shenyang Central Guard's rear will be open, and they can be taken at will, and the guards of Qinghe Fort and Sanyangyu Fort are already under control. .
