Chapter 2: Each has his own scheming (three)

"Yuan Chonghuan reorganized the army in Liaodong, I have to be careful!" Huang Taiji frowned.

Fan Wencheng was also helpless. He had done things that secretly built a plank road and secretly traveled to Chen Cang. If Yuan Chonghuan suddenly attacked Liaodong, Liaoyang would be in danger and might even threaten Shengjing's safety.

"Did Khan want to withdraw his troops?" Fan Wencheng asked calmly.

"Sakhalin's letter said that the Ming court's disarmament this time was nearly one million, divided into seven military regions, and the army was organized into two levels: A and B. This is a conventional army. In addition, there are also military groups in the local area. After the elderly, weak, sick and disabled were laid off, the strength of the Ming army increased greatly. This is Sakhalin's handwritten letter, please take a look at it." Huang Taiji showed a look of fatigue on his face and handed a stack of letter papers full of black words to Fan Wencheng.

Fan Wencheng looked at it one by one, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became. Until he finished the last one, the shock on his face never disappeared.

"Who is thinking of such a wonderful method?" Fan Wencheng was amazed, and asked in shock.

"Emperor Chongzhen." Huang Taiji's four words were prominent with a lonely expression.

"This is impossible!" Fan Wencheng's eyes were bulging. If these were all thought by people like Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Chonghuan, he would still believe it, but he would never believe that it would be done by the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty. The meticulous arrangements were arranged one by one, with almost no flaws. It was absolutely impossible for a young man in his early twenties to think of it.

"If I had millions of troops in my hands now, I would have already swept across the Central Plains with my army. It's a pity that I didn't!" Huang Taiji sighed to the sky with hatred.

"The Khan does not have to be so pessimistic. My Dajin now has a territory of thousands of miles, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Besides, the Ming court may not be able to achieve all the ideas above. Even if it does, it will not be a matter of a moment. The Khan still has time. As long as we work hard to strengthen our strength, the world may not belong to you." Fan Wencheng said.

"Yes, Ama raised an army with the thirteen pairs of armor left by his ancestors, and now he has built such a huge country. I have inherited the foundation left by Ama and inherited his unanimity. I will definitely regain the world belonging to our Jurchens!" Huang Taiji is a persevering person. At most, he was discouraged for a moment. He quickly regained his heroic nature and was full of fighting spirit!

"The old minister swears to follow the Khan to the death!" Seeing that Huang Taiji had recovered his fighting spirit, Fan Wencheng was very happy.

"Okay, I have received the Zhang Zifang of Han who is Fan Aiqingru!" Huang Taiji laughed and was very happy with Fan Wencheng's oath of loyalty.

Chahar Mongolia also doubted the attitude of the Ming Dynasty. After all, the tripartite talks were initiated by the Ming Dynasty. Now the three parties have got together. The Ming Dynasty has never expressed its true attitude. If the Ming Dynasty does not want a ceasefire and peace between the Chahar Mongolia and the Later Jin Dynasty, why should it take the initiative to initiate the tripartite talks? However, the tripartite talks have begun. However, the Ming Dynasty did not express its attitude and just dragged it on what exactly to do. If the Ming Dynasty really wanted peace, it would either put pressure on itself, or the Jin people, or the two sides put pressure together, but now there is no movement. What is the medicine sold in the Ming Dynasty?

In fact, the negotiation between Chaharmony and the Later Jin Dynasty was just a matter of ten or eight years of negotiation. It didn't matter to the Ming Dynasty, even if there was no result, it would be nothing. Zhu Yinglong wanted to maintain this status quo. If peace really came, it might not be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

As the current situation is, the fight can no longer be fought. Unless the Ming Dynasty leaves it alone, large-scale battles are impossible, but sporadic small-scale battles will still happen. Zhu Yinglong's purpose is to let the Chahar Mongolia and the Later Jin talk about fighting, fight and then talk about fighting. If this cycle continues, consume each other's strength, and drag the Later Jin into the quagmire of war, so that it can't escape from expansion.

So Huang Jin himself didn't know that Zhu Yinglong had given him a long-term combat mission, which was to constantly pull the Chahar Mongolian and the Jin people to the negotiating table, and then fight after their negotiations broke down and get hurt. After they were injured, they would mediate and pull them to the negotiating table again. After the negotiations were negotiated, they would fight and then talk. It would be too late to understand how vicious Zhu Yinglong was.

Perhaps Huang Taiji saw the sinister intentions of the Ming Dynasty, and left Jiergalang to lead a 100,000 army to continue confronting Chahar Mongolia and Guanning Iron Cavalry, and entrusted Jiergalang to have full power to deal with it. Then he brought half of his men and the property he received to Shengjing.

As soon as Huang Taiji left, Man Gui ordered the withdrawal of the Guanning Iron Cavalry that took over Ulanqab and led the army back to Qingcheng.

In this way, the negotiations were forced to be interrupted, but neither Chahar Mongolia nor the Later Jin proposed to suspend the negotiations alone. Huang Jin also stayed in Qingcheng for this and continued to work hard for Chahar Mongolia and the Later Jin to return to the negotiation table.

The negotiations ended up with no results, and Chahar Mongolia and the Later Jin entered a five-year war of resistance.

Chahar Mongolia lacks qualified generals, so although Jirgalang only has 100,000 troops, he repeatedly fights. If Mangui had not allowed Guanning Iron Cavalry to take care of him secretly, Chahar Mongolia might not have been able to hold on for a year.

The negotiations were still intermittent. Sometimes the talks were very happy, but they fought to the death on the battlefield. The war also made two or more precisely three armies tempered. The number of Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty Guanning was the smallest, and only 30,000 were stationed in Qingcheng, including 20,000 Mongolians and 10,000 Han people, with the smallest number, but the combat effectiveness was the strongest. Due to population constraints, the conventional military force of Chahar Mongolia was reduced to about 50,000, including 20,000 elite troops. On the side of Jierharang of the Later Jin Dynasty, Huang Taiji left behind 20,000 Eight Banners Iron Cavalry and 10,000 Iron Armored Army. The remaining were the three-tribe coalition forces of Mongolia, Han and North Korea. If the 30,000 troops of Shang Erlinchen were not included in terms of military strength, the army of the Ming and Chahar Mongolian Alliance was not as good as the Later Jin Dynasty, but its combat effectiveness was not inferior to the other side.

At the beginning, there were still some casualties when the fight came. Later, everyone got to know each other. Sometimes it seemed like an agreement. Today I came to the camp, and tomorrow you ambush my cavalry team, and the casualties will decrease. Sometimes there will be zero casualties. This is not a rare thing.

There are naturally two reasons why Huang Taiji withdrew his troops. One is the huge pressure brought by Liaodong to his base camp. Moreover, he has not been in the base camp for a long time. There are signs of instability in the country. He must go back to suppress these unstable signs. Second, according to his analysis with Fan Wencheng, unless he voluntarily gave up the city and grassland of Chahar Mongolia that he captured, he would have little hope to destroy Chahar Mongolia with the intervention of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, what the Ming Dynasty hopes most is that he and Chahar Mongolia consume their own vitality in the continuous war, and more than 200,000 troops.

After a long war, the supplies and food consumed amazingly. With the current treasury financial resources of the Great Jin Kingdom were not enough to last for too long, so he had to withdraw his troops, but he could not withdraw all of them. If he retreated all of them, it would be equivalent to returning the captured things to the other party. Therefore, he left behind a large army of 100,000 uneven, because he was confident and confident that the Ming Dynasty would not assist Chahar Mongolia in regaining their territory at this time, because the Ming Dynasty needed a Chahar Mongolia that relied on itself, rather than an independent and disobedient Chahar Mongolia.

When necessary, Daming may also secretly help him, so that Chahar Mongolia can maintain its current state.

Huang Taiji was really right, because doing so was a disguised pushing Chahar Mongolia into the embrace of the Ming Dynasty, but he himself couldn't say anything about it. First, the Later Jin did not have the ability to go to war at the same time. Second, the Later Jin needed stability and development more than the Ming Dynasty at this moment. Third, Huang Taiji needed to train more elite troops to compete with the Ming Dynasty. The game of fighting for the world was not so fun.

The news about Dorgon came again. Someone found Dorgon's sword on the edge of the northwest desert. The sword was covered with blood. He found several dry corpses not far from the sword. However, it was confirmed that it was Dorgon's bodyguard's clothing, and his death lasted for more than seven days. It was obvious that he had encountered fierce fighting here. The sword should have been dropped by Dorgon when he was fighting with the enemy. According to the clues on the death guard, Dorgon might have brought people into the desert.

It is hard to imagine that Dorgon had fled westward for less than a hundred people for thousands of kilometers and was intercepted by someone on the way. According to the clues left at the scene, the person who intercepted Dorgon might be the famous Xiangma Hongbeard in the Gobi Desert. Although Dorgon and his group were in a mess, they still carried a lot of valuable things. Perhaps this was because Xiangma was targeted by Xiangma, but it may also be that Xiangma thought Dorgon and his men were here to seize the territory. They had a disagreement and started fighting like this. But these are all speculations. Xiangma Hongbeard came and went without a trace, and there was no trace of others on this vast desert. Although he was good at tracking, he might be useless when he arrived at the desert full of yellow sand.

The climate in the desert is changing, and the temperature during the day and night is two extremes. There is no way to follow in the desert. Once you lose your direction, the consequences will be unimaginable. Moreover, the desert is short of water, so it is difficult for people to survive. Once you lack water and cannot find the water source, you can only die.

The terrifying and fierceness of the desert, even if he thinks that brother is so persistent, he doesn't frown in front of death, and he changes his expression slightly when talking. Therefore, he does not dare to easily decide to enter the desert and continue to search for Dorgon's traces. He tossed around the desert for three days, searched and found a radius of 500 miles of the sword. In the end, he did not find a trace of clue and had to return without success.
