Text Chapter 1162 Huang Taiji¡¯s Ambition

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Since the initial invasion, Huang Taiji had never thought that he could lead his army to the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

    It can be said that the results they have achieved now have exceeded his expectations.

    Originally, Huang Taiji should be happy about this.

    However, when he saw the thick defenses of the Ming Dynasty capital, he could no longer be happy.

    Yes, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the city defense here is extremely thick.

    "Compared with the city walls in other places in the Ming Dynasty, they were more than twice as thick.

    Facing such a tall and thick city wall, even the Jurchens who are good at riding and shooting have nothing to do.

    After all, they can¡¯t attack the city on war horses.

    Therefore, when Huang Taiji saw the city walls of the capital, he knew that his army was powerless against the city.

    "However, he is not so willing.

    After all, they are already here, right?

    If you just retreat like this, wouldn't it look a bit weak?

    When the time comes, what will Ming people think and what will our own people think?

    Based on the above, Huang Taiji stood still and watched the development of the situation.

    In fact, he himself had no intention of staying here longer, just to intimidate the Ming court.

    ??In other words, Huang Taiji wanted to scare the Ming court and tell them that Houjin was not that weak. Now that they could lead their troops to the capital, they could do the same in the future.

    With such a deterrent, the Ming court's attitude towards Hou Jin will probably change in the future.

    Of course, this is Huang Taiji¡¯s own consideration. As for what the Ming court thought, it is not clear what Emperor Zhu Shangwu thought about Huang Taiji.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out???????????

    ¡°At least, you have to show some sincerity, that is, some benefits to make you retreat.

    As long as the Ming Emperor can be frightened and takes this step, his reputation in the Jin Dynasty will definitely rise greatly.

    By then, if you make any decisions, you won¡¯t have so many obstacles.

    ??Besides, if the Ming court really offers benefits to allow him to retreat, then according to Jurchen rules, he will take the lion's share.

    With these benefits, after returning to Houjin, you can buy off your cronies on a large scale, right?

    I have to say that Huang Taiji¡¯s idea was very good.

    ¡°And after observing the Ming troops along the way, as well as being stationed in the capital for two days, Huang Taiji had already seen the nature of the Ming Dynasty¡¯s power on the outside and the power on the inside.

    So, Huang Taiji decided to take a gamble!

    Moreover, in this situation, it is obvious that he has a great chance of winning.

    The Jurchen generals and flag leaders below all listened to Huang Taiji's explanation. Although Huang Taiji did not express all his true thoughts, everyone felt that it made sense.

    Yes, after fighting all the way, the Ming army fled and did not dare to fight the army at all. This is what they have experienced personally.

    If the Ming Dynasty¡¯s army is like this, then there is nothing to worry about here in the capital.

    Of course, if there are too many ants, the elephant will die. This worry is still somewhat necessary.

    It¡¯s just that we can¡¯t think about this matter so pessimistically.

    "Then what do you mean, Your Majesty?"

    Badarze, the leader of the Zhenglan Banner, came out and asked.

    "Let's just surround them like this. Since there is a large population in Ming Capital City, there won't be a lot of food. We consume a lot every day, but the food consumption in the city is also a lot. After we surrounded them, it won't be long before they come.  You have to negotiate terms with us. When the time comes, we can offer a satisfactory price, and then it won¡¯t be too late to withdraw our troops.¡±

    A sinister smile appeared on Huang Taiji's face, and the Jurchen generals also laughed loudly after hearing this.

    "But the Ming army will not sit back and watch us siege the city. After all, this is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. If all the surrounding Ming armies come to attack King Qin, we will be in a very disadvantageous situation."

    When everyone forgot about it, Daishan opened his mouth and poured cold water on everyone.

    As soon as Daishan said these words, the tent suddenly became quiet.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:That makes sense.

    They Jurchens can besiege the city, but the Ming army cannot just sit idly by and ignore it.

    Although the Ming Dynasty¡¯s army was corrupt and the generals and military attach¨¦s did not dare to fight, it is impossible for all the Ming Dynasty¡¯s court to be filled with such people.

    Therefore, when they besieged the city, they had already sent people to the capital to move reinforcements.

    If you do some calculations, it may not take long for a large number of rescue troops from the Ming court to arrive here.

    By then, as Daishan said, they will be very passive.

    ¡°Maybe, they may be completely wiped out here.

    "Brother, you and I both know that Ming people are weak. I think the emperor must be right. We don't have to worry about those weak guys. Even if their reinforcements arrive, we can just kill them. I don't believe it.  Is there anyone who can resist my Jurchen cavalry?"

    The person who spoke was Arda, the commander of the two yellow flags controlled by Huang Taiji.

    As a member of Xianghuangqi, of course he is from Huang Taiji.

    Faced with Daishan¡¯s provocation, he must stand up and support his master.

    Daishan glanced at him with contempt on his face.

    "Your Majesty! Do you think what I said is wrong?"

    Daishan ignored Alda and directly questioned Huang Taiji.

    Huang Taiji was filled with hatred in his heart, but he kept a smile on his face, showing no mood swings at all.

    His grandmother¡¯s Daishan is always at odds with me from time to time!  If killing you wouldn't have an impact on other flag owners, I would have killed you long ago, and I wouldn't have let you live comfortably until now.

    Huang Taiji cursed secretly in his heart and kept cursing.

    "Yes! Brother is right. There is indeed a need to worry about this. But I have already made arrangements for this, so we don't have to be too nervous."

    Huang Taiji looked confident, raised his right hand and danced slightly.

    "Oh, in that case, we would like to hear what the emperor's arrangements are."

    Daishan continued to ask questions unceremoniously.

    At this time, the Jurchens of Houjin, although they had already established a country, did not pay too much attention to some rules and so on.

    After all, they are just country bumpkins who have just stepped out from the black mountains and white waters.

    Therefore, performances like Daishan were often seen in the court of the Later Jin Dynasty.

    That is to say, because Hou Jin founded the country and captured many literati from Liaodong, it was only after those literati took refuge that there was a little bit of etiquette.

    ¡°If this were placed in Nurhachi¡¯s era, it would be even more unruly.

    So, everyone is not surprised.

    However, no one could have imagined that Huang Taiji would attach great importance to this.

    Although Huang Taiji was a Jurchen, he highly respected the etiquette and culture of the Central Plains.

    So, he hates many things that are against the rules among the Jurchens.

    "It's a pity that although he is the emperor now, his power is still limited.

    Therefore, he is still powerless in this regard and has no way to change it.

    But one thing is certain, as long as Huang Taiji solves all the troubles and takes control, this situation will definitely change.

    In another time and space, the abnormal rules of the Qing Dynasty came from this.

    "I have dispatched reconnaissance cavalry around, but it is impossible to hide the slightest movement of the Ming army. As long as we can grasp their movement, we can control the initiative."

    Huang Taiji endured the resentment in his heart and began to explain to everyone again.

    "Our army is all cavalry, and the Ming army has few horses. If there is really any danger then, are we still afraid that we can't outrun those Ming troops?"

    Huang Taiji looked around at everyone.

    The generals are thoughtful.

    "What's more, don't forget that the Ming Dynasty officials in the capital have begun to have ulterior motives. We can take advantage of this and let them put pressure on the Ming Dynasty court. I heard that the emperor of Ming Dynasty was just a  Young man, I don't think he can withstand it."

    In this regard, Huang Taiji already had an idea in his mind.

    ¡°It¡¯s just that I just said it today.

    "Of course, we can't just wait like this." Huang Taiji continued.  "Every day?Kill some Ming people outside the city, and at the same time select the surrendered troops among the generals and let them attack the city"

    ?According to Huang Taiji, a two-pronged approach of intimidation and siege will definitely be effective by then.

    At the same time, Jurchen soldiers were not used to attack the city, but surrendered troops from the army were used.

    "It's like these cannon fodder are used to attack the city. He won't feel bad about how many people die."

    Faced with such pressure, how long can the people in the city withstand it?

    I haven¡¯t even attacked the city yet, but people have already begun to write letters and contact me.

    It can be seen from this that once you really attack the city, there will definitely be more people like this.

    And importantly, the people who wrote letters and contacted me privately were all Ming Dynasty officials with status.  If I don't make good use of it, I'd be really sorry for myself.

    Hearing that Huang Taiji said that the surrendered army should attack the city to put pressure on the Ming court, none of the Jurchen banner leaders and generals present raised their objections.

    To them, these surrendered troops are just cannon fodder, sent to die.

    No one cares about their life or death at all.

    Daishan really couldn¡¯t find any flaws in Huang Taiji¡¯s plan, which made him very uncomfortable.

    But he couldn¡¯t choose anything, so he had no choice but to retreat.

    "This matter has been settled. Now you go back and select all the surrendered troops among the generals, and let them begin to attack the city in the evening!"

    After seeing Daishan retreat, Huang Taiji felt a little proud, and then ordered.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
