Chapter 475

Capital.

At this time, Huang Taiji with a sick face began to hesitate in the face of the memorials of Dourgen and Haug.

He didn't know whether he should send more troops to Shanxi according to Haug's request and destroy Li Zicheng first. It's time to listen to Dourgen. Go south to the Central Plains first and win Kaifeng and Xuzhou.

For several days, Huang Taiji couldn't make a decision. Finally, he had to hold a court meeting to listen to the opinions of Han officials. After all, they knew the steps and order of unifying the world better than the eight banners.

"Emperor, the Qin army is powerful. It not only occupies rich places such as Huguang and Jiangnan, but also has abundant supplies of food, grass and soldiers. It is extremely united and stable internally. On the contrary, the northwest is barren and the fighting capacity of the army is low. If it is not eliminated first, the flanks will be threatened when our eight flag army goes south. Therefore, my minister thinks that we should attack the northwest first, solve the worries of the future, and then go south with all our strength."

Fan Wencheng took the lead in saying that after that, Ning Wan and a group of Han ministers such as me nodded their heads and agreed. Obviously, they all thought that we should kill Chuang Wang first.

Huang Taiji didn't know whether he could nod. In fact, he thought so, but after understanding in recent years, he knew that the real biggest enemy of the Eight Banners was in the south, so he didn't want to give Qin Huan more time to prepare, so he fell into a tangle.

Then he saw Hong Chengchou, who had been silent. He moved in his heart, slowed down and asked, "Hong Aiqing, what do you think?"

"Hong Aiqing, it's done now. Do you still want to be Xu Shu who is in caoying and has a heart in Han?"

Hong Chengchou sighed in his heart. He really didn't want to surrender to the eight banners and wanted to go on a hunger strike to commit suicide, but he failed after all. He also knew that Huang Taiji was right. Whether willing or not to accept it, the traitor's reputation was set. After a battle between heaven and man, he finally stood up.

"Your Majesty, Li Zicheng, the king of adventure, is only a man. He is short-sighted and only knows pleasure. Coupled with the barren northwest, he is not worried at all. On the other hand, Qin Huan is brilliant, knows people well, is determined to forge ahead, occupies the rich land in the South and supports millions of soldiers. In time, he will devote all his efforts to the northern expedition. It is the biggest obstacle for our eight banners to unify the world!"

"Well, Hong Aiqing is right. Does Hong Aiqing think our eight banners should attack the northwest or go all out to the south to wipe out the south of the Yangtze River?"

Hong Chengchou's words almost went to Huang Taiji's heart. He sat straight and looked forward to the Tao.

Hong Chengchou is also like a chaste martyr who has an affair. For the first time, he began to break cans and fall, just like a person. He is no longer as dead as he was just now.

"Emperor, the Qin army is good at firearm infantry, but lacks cavalry. However, Henan is flat, and our eight flag cavalry can give full play to their advantages. Therefore, the emperor can take the Central Plains first, take the Central Plains as the battlefield, continuously attract the Qin army here, surround and annihilate it, then advance westward to eliminate Li Chuang, and finally set foot in the south of the Yangtze River, which will rule the world.

At this time, the Qin army expanded soon. Although it supported millions of troops, its combat power declined. If your majesty chose to attack the northwest first and then fight the Central Plains with the Qin army, it would be difficult to predict the outcome at that time. "

"What Lord Hong said, there is some truth. Just don't solve Li Chuang first. If our eight banners army is fighting with the Qin army in the Central Plains, Chuang army suddenly attacks the back of our army, I'm afraid it's not difficult to win or lose, but inevitable to lose!"

After Hong Chengchou finished, fan Wencheng stood up and retorted.

All the Han officials nodded frequently. Even the eight banners on the other side felt that fan Wencheng's slave was reasonable.

Huang Taiji's eyebrows were also slightly wrinkled. According to the military deployment of the Qin army in the Central Plains and the follow-up army, he knew that the Eight Banners would do their best at that time.

Although the Chuang army has low combat power, there are hundreds of thousands. The key is that both Jinnan and Luoyang are in the hands of Chuang army. Once the soldiers leave Taihang Mountain, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Emperor, Li Chuang has always wanted to win the whole of Sichuan. In addition, he has been defeated by the Qin army several times. As long as the emperor sends an envoy to negotiate peace with the other party and give Taiyuan to Chuang army, Li Chuang will agree to strike the war and send troops to attack Sichuan with all his strength. At that time, our army only needs to keep cavalry all the way in Guangping area of Shunde, which can ensure no worries in the future!"

Hong Chengchou said slowly and didn't care about the people's eyes.

"Shit, Taiyuan is an important town in Shanxi. How hard did our eight flag warriors take to capture it? It's nice of you bastard to give it to Chuang Jun. "

"Yes, I don't think you have a good heart at all!"

When the generals of the Eight Banners heard that they were going to give Taiyuan to Chuang Jun for nothing, they immediately fried the pot. One by one, they looked angrily. They wanted to rush up and tear Hong Chengchou up. Fan Wencheng and other Han ministers looked on coldly and gloated.

"Presumptuous, don't give me back... Cough."

Huang Taiji shouted violently. He immediately frightened the people as quiet as a cold cicada. They shut up and retreated back one after another.

"Come on, azig roared toward the hall, pulled it down and hit the ten army staff again."

Huang Taiji calmed down his anger and stopped coughing. After a while, two big men rushed up and dragged azig down.

"Compared with unifying the world, a mere Taiyuan city is nothing to mention? Can't we give it to Chuang Jun today and our eight flag warriors won't come back someday? "

Speaking of this, Huang Taiji brush stood up, his whole body was full of an imperial breath, and said with a solemn face: "I have made a decision. First stabilize Li Chuang, go south with all my strength, and make a decisive battle with the Qin army in the Central Plains. This battle is related to the national movement of the Qing Dynasty, and I decided to drive myself!"

"The emperor is wise!"

Everyone knelt down together and shouted.

Hong Chengchou sighed in his heart. The slave chieftain really has the style of an emperor for thousands of years. For a moment, he looked forward to it. Who is the real Lord of the world?

Although the strategic direction has been decided, Huang Taiji is not a king. Instead of leading the army to the south, he begins to raise food and grass and assemble troops. First, he informs all Mongolian ministries that they will meet outside Zhangjiakou two months later, and the food and grass collected from all localities will be continuously transported to the south.

After the Eight Banners entered the pass, although their strength soared, the Han army alone reached more than 300000, but the consumption of grain and grass was also huge. Last year, they were able to smuggle some grain materials from the south of the Yangtze River, but now they are completely cut off. On the contrary, Henan has a bumper harvest after Qin Huan's governance. Therefore, Huang Taiji plans to go south on a large scale during the winter wheat harvest in Henan around June.

The Mongols in the Ming Dynasty were divided into three groups: Moxi, Mobei and Monan, among which Monan tribes located north of the great wall and south of Yinshan had the largest number.

Now, in addition to the remote Mongolian tribes in the west of the desert, all the Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert have been conquered by the eight banners, and all the tribes in the north of the desert are also frightened by the powerful force of the eight banners and nominally choose to obey.

Therefore, when the Mongolian tribes in southern desert received the imperial edict of Huang Taiji, they did not worry that the Mongolian tribes in northern desert took the opportunity to sneak attack and brought almost all the warriors of the tribe, each of whom was three war horses.

Obviously, even if these Mongols are stupid, they also know that now the eight banners have entered the pass, which is a good time to make a fortune. The more people go, the more women and things they will be assigned.
