"We can hide from the greenskins, but why can't they come to us? Lushun, Fuzhou we have to cover our eyes and pretend we didn't see things that have clearly happened? The bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty did this, and we You laugh at them for being stupid, but when it's your turn, are you also the same stupid people?"
Huang Taiji angrily pulled out his riding whip, and everyone around him immediately knelt on the ground and curled up their backs - the old Khan King Nurhachi loved to whip people with a whip in his later years, which made the Queen's heart break apart. But Huang Taiji did not suffer from this problem. He would kill anyone he was dissatisfied with without leaving any chance for revenge.
He would not do such a stupid thing as beating someone with a horse whip but not taking precautions afterwards - so Huang Taiji just whipped in the air a few times to vent the anger in his chest. Then he regained his temper and continued to teach:
"The key is that those people are also growing stronger. We are getting stronger day by day, and so are they! And they are constantly affecting the people of the Ming Dynasty, attracting more and more people to have the courage to fight us - Kong Youde!”
With this shout, Kong Youde, who had been waiting diligently in the distance for a long time, immediately ran over, knelt down and kowtowed from a distance:
"The slave is bowing to his master."
——Nowadays, Kong Youde does not have a glorious title such as King Dingnan, the King of Obedience. Although he has been awarded the title of third-class general soldier, he is still just a slave under the banner of Dajin. After several failures, Huang Taiji no longer valued him as much as before, and said in a very impatient tone:
"You have contacted Shang Kexi several times. What was the result?"
Kong Youde looked embarrassed and kowtowed first, then replied in a low voice:
"The slave is incompetent. He was willing to see the slave's envoys a few times before, but other than exchanging gold and silver for big wood, he refused to accept anything else. The last few times, he even refused to see the envoys."
"You won't even return the pile of heads outside Fuzhou City to us?"
"He said he didn't dare. The greenskin leader personally told him not to move it. Unless we send people to snatch it back ourselves. He can give up Fuzhou and retreat to the island."
"Hmm"
Huang Taiji breathed a few times in a depressed voice. That's a good thing. He's really a bachelor. He admits directly that I can't beat you, and I won't fight you. But my Dongjiang Army has ships. I can just run away to the sea and hide. Go to the island, can you catch me?
Although it cannot be said that all the Hou Jin soldiers were landlubbers, crossing the river was fine, but they really had no idea about crossing the sea. Not to mention that the Dongjiang Army is now backed by greens. Huang Taiji has seen those green cannon ships. A ship is equivalent to a small castle, or a castle full of artillery. Who can carry it?
So even though Fuzhou was within easy reach, he had no intention of taking it back - there was no point in taking it back, stationing hundreds of soldiers there, and then waiting for the greenskins to suddenly appear again one day, and then let them go Cut off a bunch of heads and pile them up in Beijing?
Therefore, Hou Jin has almost abandoned all the fortresses along the coast and does not waste any troops on defense. As for the Jingguan at the gate of Fuzhou, Huang Taiji actually didn't care much at all - there were a lot of fratricide in Houjin, so did he really care about the remains of hundreds of his fellow clan members? The purpose of negotiating in this name was mainly to test the thoughts of Shang Kexi, Dongjiang's successor as commander-in-chief, and see what his attitude was toward Hou Jin. Whether it is possible to force him to surrender is the key.
But now it seems that he is a slippery guy. He doesn't say harsh words, and may even give in, but his actions are not soft at all. Kong Youde negotiated many times, but no substantial progress was made. Relying on the support of the greenskins, they have no intention of surrendering. It is troublesome to just stay in Liaonan.
But today is not to discuss this matter - Huang Taiji waved his hand angrily and told Kong Youde to get out. Then he looked at his brothers and ministers:
"——You know, those people will not stop. As long as they are around, I, Dajin, will never be at peace. And those greenskins not only dare to fight themselves, but also incite others to fight with us, even The dead tigers of the Dongjiang Army can be pulled back to life by them. The monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably not be affected by it. "
"So Father Khan specially added that sentence in his message. Even if the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty were not affected by it, there was still no guarantee that those green-skinned rebels who were originally rebels would not be suspicious This gentle and clever sentence made them They are suspicious of each other. It would be better if they could kill each other - Father Khan is wise!"
Hauge boasted loudly from the side, but Huang Taiji's face turned ugly - this stupid son didn't seem to understand the original intention of his hard work in teaching them, and just flattering them here was useless.
If it had been any other Baylor, he would have been forked out long ago, but this happened to be his own son. I have no choice but to dial one or two after all. So Huang Taiji endured his temper and continued what his son said.The title says:
"The thoughts of the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty have always been weird. What they will think and do is beyond our control. We can only throw out a pretext as an introduction. It is difficult for us to interfere with the subsequent development. If you want to gain something, It’s up to us.”
However, Hauge was a crude person and did not hear the displeasure in Huang Taiji's tone, and still laughed loudly:
"Last time, Father Khan just lost a lead, and the Ming Dynasty emperor killed his Ji Liao governor. As soon as Yuan Manzi died, Liao Town immediately lost its fighting spirit, and even cowered when fighting us again. This I heard once that they also sent people over, but they haven’t shown up yet, so it’s obvious that they are scared out of their wits! Those idiotshahaha!”
Hauge laughed a lot, but no one around him responded. When he turned around, he saw Dorgon looking at him with a half-smile, just like when he wanted to see his joke. Only then did Hauge wake up, trembled, and quickly went to observe his father's face.
Fortunately, Huang Taiji was not angry, at least not on the surface. There was no expression in his slender eyes. It wasn't until Hauge shut up that he continued:
"They are not stupid, Hauge. Don't underestimate them. The ministers of the Ming Dynasty are actually smarter than the other. Fortunately, their generals are also very smart And above this group of smart people, there is still a self-defeating person. Thought to be the wisest emperor."
Everyone around him burst into laughter, but Hauge didn't move this time. It wasn't until he saw Huang Taiji smiling that he giggled twice.
After adjusting the atmosphere a little, Huang Taiji brought the topic back to his main enemy:
"According to what Fushun's prince-in-law found, most of the green-skinned people still stayed in the south and stayed on the island. It can be seen that not all of them trust the Ming Dynasty. Those who came to the north must be among them. A part of the friendship with the Ming Kingdom. As long as there are injuries among these people, the Green Skin's attitude towards the Ming Kingdom will definitely change. Even if they don't rebel again, they will not be as dedicated to the Ming Kingdom as they are now."
"The Great Khan is wise. I heard that in the Ming Dynasty, the greenskins were originally one of the 'Four Bandits'. Although they have been recruited now, many people in the Ming Kingdom still regard them as thieves and bandits. In one word of the Great Khan, both sides of them No one can feel at ease Only when people are not united can we take advantage of the situation."
Dorgon next to him suddenly interjected, and his meaning was similar to what Hauge said just now, but Huang Taiji looked at him, nodded and praised:
"Mergen Daiqing said it very well, attack the heart first. The Han people's art of war is still worth a look."
Next to him, Hauge curled his lips in dissatisfaction and asked angrily:
"So, Father Khan, if the Ming Dynasty really sends a real green-skinned head, will we retreat?"
Huang Taiji chuckled and narrowed his eyes:
"Retreat, why don't you retreat. Anyway, you have made enough this time. Let's find a reason to come here next time. Moreover, by then, we can contact the greenskins to work together, attack from the north and the south, and seize the power of the Ming Kingdom. ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, as if they were still not able to adapt to the level of their own thinking. Only Dorgon's eyes shone brightly and he looked at Huang Taiji with great admiration.
——This spirit of treating the country as a chess game, which the world's heroes can use regardless of whether it is the enemy or ourselves, and who can advance and retreat calmly and calmly, is exactly what he has been trying to imitate, but he has never been able to learn it.
But after Huang Taiji only showed a little bit of his "king's aura", he quickly returned to his status as a thoughtful tribal leader:
"Of course, the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty were not so stupid as to think about it, and we cannot expect that good things like those of Governor Ji Liao will come to nothing again Han people always like to exaggerate this kind of wonderful thing in letting others do their work and getting something for nothing. "Policy', but anyone who has really done something should understand: if you want good results, you still have to do it yourself."
"To deal with the greenskins, just relying on a few gossips will not work. If you want to make them fearful and fearful, and make them dare not be hostile to me, Dajin, we have to rely on our Manchurian athletes' own swords. In the dense forests of Liaodong We failed to do this, so let’s try it on the northern plains to see if their fire rifle soldiers can stop the thousands of cavalry charging into the formation."
"However, their fire cannons are not incapable of reaching far, and the rate of fire is fast. Even if they use cavalry to charge into the formation, the casualties will probably not be small. Kong Youde and the others tried it before, but the outcome was not good."
Abatai, who had been silent next to him, couldn't help but speak. Although he is also the son of Nurhaci, he was born to a slave woman. His mother's family has no status at all, and he has always been looked down upon among the Beile.
"It's natural that the status is so embarrassing. Good things can't come around, and hard work can't be escaped. - Shorthair's surprise attack on Fuzhou."?, Abatai was assigned to be responsible for the defense of southern Liaoning. Responsible for the first line of defense against short-haired dogs, serving as a human shield.
So some time ago Abatai has been studying short-haired equipment and tactics, trying to find a way to deal with it. However, the more in-depth the study became, the more frightened the person became - the gap between the two sides was so huge that it could no longer be bridged by bravery or strategy.
