Chapter 4: Forced to move the capital (II)

When Dorgon came out of Chongzheng Hall, Leng Yan, the nominal guard, naturally met him, turned around and asked in a low voice: "How is it?"

Dorgon looked at Daishan and the other two who were summoned by him behind him and hurriedly said, "Let's talk about it when you go back!"

The two of them rode back to the palace and entered the study room, and then told no one to get close. Dorgon then carefully told Leng Yan about the situation in Chongzheng Hall.

"So Huang Taiji has long been determined to attack my Ming Dynasty? It will be half a year later?" Leng Yan frowned.

Dorgon nodded and said, "From this point, it may be delayed longer in the spring and summer next year. The starling's mind is not easy to figure out, and I can't say it."

The two discussed for a long time and felt that they should send Huang Taiji's attitude and decision news back to China as soon as possible.

However, it was already three days later when the news reached Zhu Yinglong's hands. Moreover, the army of several Liaodong cities such as Jinzhou, Daninghe and Ningyuan frequently changed defenses, and the main troops were all transferred to Jinzhou. The front line of Dalinghe handover with the Qing Dynasty. For a moment, the border relations suddenly became tense.

Because Huang Taiji issued a ban order, not many people knew about Bumubutai and Hai Lanzhu. However, the movement of these soldiers in the Liaodong Military Region of the Ming Dynasty attracted Huang Taiji's close attention. However, they soon received news from Sakhalin, indicating that the emperor was infected with wind and cold and would not recover in the short term. They also said that the embassy was closely monitored by the Ming court, which was like house arrest.

This series of news is dazzling and difficult to judge.

"Your Majesty, I don't think that the Liaodong Army's recent mobilizations do not seem to be about sending troops to attack our Qing Dynasty. It seems to be strengthening the defense of Jinzhou, Daling River and the fortress of the Right Guard. However, our Qing Dynasty has no intention of attacking the Ming Dynasty. The Liaodong Army's move is quite inexplicable." Prince Zheng Jiergalang is a famous general in the army. His vision and experience will not be wrong.

Others don’t know, but Huang Taiji himself made it clear that the Ming Dynasty was afraid that he would retaliate against the border after Bumubutai and Hai Lanzhu were leaked. This was a very normal move and it also indirectly confirmed that the news that Sahalin ordered people to bring back was indeed true. How could Huang Taiji not hate him in his heart!

The matter was a bit strange. Fan Wencheng, the leader of the Han civil servants, glanced at Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the dragon throne, and found that his face was gloomy and terrible. He knew that there might be something else in this matter. One night a few days ago, the emperor summoned four princes Heshuo to the palace to discuss matters overnight, but no one knew why. The four princes Heshuo kept silent. Could it be that there was any connection between them?

"Your Majesty, do you want to mobilize troops?" Dai Shan's heart moved and he said.

"No need. Although the Liaodong Army recruited some young and strong people, the Liaodong Army itself did not add one soldier or one soldier, nor did it add one soldier from the pass. We do not need to add more troops, we just need to be more vigilant." Huang Taiji waved.

"Although my Eight Banners soldiers don't say that they can always do it with one against ten, and one against three. In the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming army was 200,000 to 300,000, but we still beaten them up, hahaha..." The Inner Minister Turge laughed arrogantly.

"Yuan Chonghuan relied on the strong city and the sharp artillery. He dared to try fighting with us in the field?" Another general shouted.

Seeing that the generals were not afraid of the war, they all expressed bold words, Huang Taiji showed a smile on his face. With such elite soldiers and generals, why worry about the big things going on? Didn’t Genghis Khan also kidnapped his wife by the enemy back then? I, Huang Taiji, want to be the master of this world, and be an emperor greater than Genghis Khan. What can he do? I, Huang Taiji, can still do it. Women, at that time, all the beauties in the world are allowed to ask for. What is the only one or two Hailanzhus, Bumu Butai?

"Okay, the First Emperor attacked the Ming Dynasty with seven great hatreds. I adhered to the will of the First Emperor and was determined to attack the Southern Ming Dynasty, and took over the flowers and mountains of the Han people in the Central Plains. The world should be for me to sit down!" Huang Taiji stood up and shouted.

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the Huang Taiji, long live the Huang Taiji!"

The sound of long live like a mountain cry came. Amid this "Long live" sound, two flusheds appeared on Huang Taiji's sallow face, greatly satisfying the little vanity in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is a little worried. The Ming army is good at hiding its true intentions in this seemingly normal military mobilization. The Ming army's abnormal movement may have any shameful purpose." After the court meeting, Fan Wencheng took the initiative to stay and asked to see Huang Taiji.

It has to be admitted that Fan Wencheng's sense of smell is very sensitive, but his master Huang Taiji is a very independent person. His family's shamelessness should not be made public. His wife was robbed and he was still ashamed to speak up. The Ming army was afraid of revenge after receiving the news and increased its troops' defense. This is normal. If it were him, he would do it the same. After all, if it were a monarch who was not good at forbearance, the possibility of the two countries fighting was very high, so it was not wrong for the Ming army to take the initiative to defend.

"If we talk about national strength, my wealth is not as good as that of the Ming Emperor's child, but in terms of military strength, my Ming Emperor's child is not as good as that of me. Although the national strength of the Southern Ming Dynasty is getting stronger, the Ming Emperor's child is greedy for the benefits of firearms, but he does not know that fighting on the battlefield is based on the passion of warriors. Heroic soldiers are the foundation for victory, and weapons are just helping you!" Huang Taiji said.

"Emperor, my Qing Dynasty has been defeated several times, but it was defeated by the Ming army weapons. The Ming army weapons are so sharp that they are unparalleled in the world. In particular, the Ming Emperor strongly encouraged the Ming Dynasty's strange skills and tricks. There are many kinds of fire weapons, all of which are powerful weapons for fighting and killing people. Although my Qing Dynasty started on the back and established a country with martial arts, we must not forget the wisdom of the Han people. Now our Qing Dynasty cannot always stay in the era of golden swords and iron horses, and force can only gain temporary benefits. If we want to last long, if the emperor wants to win the world, he must vigorously develop fire weapons and establish a navy. Otherwise, he will not be able to win the world. Instead, he will be eroded by the Southern Ming step by step and eventually perish!" Fan Wencheng said loyally.

"What Fan Aiqing said is a bit reasonable, I have neglected it." Huang Taiji was ambitious and had not achieved great achievements now, so he could still tell whether he was loyal or flattery.

"Why don't the emperor set up a "recruitment hall" to recruit private talents to serve the country? As long as you have a skill and make contributions, you can be granted certain official positions. This will not only gain talents, but also show the emperor's desire to seek talent." Fan Wencheng took the opportunity to suggest.

"Okay, my dear, please do this. It would be great if you can find a few special talents." Huang Taiji nodded and agreed to the matter.

The movements of the Qing court were basically as expected by Zhu Yinglong, but this "recruitment hall" did not expect, but it was no longer important.

"Emperor, news came from the inside that Huang Taiji frequently changed generals and did not make any big moves. The defender Ajige, who guarded Liaoyang, was replaced overnight with Daishan's eldest son Yue Tuo. Yue Tuo was brave and good at fighting, which may put some pressure on our army." Although Yan Peiwei was not from the Military Intelligence Department, Zhu Yinglong could not expose himself at the moment, so Yan Peiwei naturally became the intelligence liaison officer around Zhu Yinglong.

"Very good, order Yuan Chonghuan to convene the main generals to convene a secret military meeting, and I will attend in person!" Zhu Yinglong ordered.

Yuan Chonghuan's generals were also very confused about the sudden recruitment of the Liaodong Production and Construction Corps to participate in the Liaodong line deployment a while ago. However, everyone was used to the provisions in the confidentiality regulations. They knew that they should not ask, and they must not ask what they should not know, and they did not need to know. Unless Yuan Chonghuan rebelled, all military orders would be implemented without fail.

The secret military conference was held in a specially built conference room in an empty mountain. Many core secrets of the Liaodong Military Region were not stored in Jinzhou City, but in this cave, it was impossible for non-high-ranking generals in the military to know this secret.

General Man Gui, Lieutenant General Zu Dashou, Lieutenant General Zhao Rujiao, Lieutenant General Sun Zushou, Lieutenant General You Shilu, Lieutenant General You Shiwei, Major General Zuo Fu, Major General Zhu Mei, Major General Xie Shangzheng, Major General Jin Qicong, etc., are all the generals shining with generals. Of course, it is only a part of it. There are dozens of generals who must stay in their troops and cannot be unattended in the army.

After receiving the order, these generals came secretly, and no noise was allowed in the secret conference room, so no one dared to speak loudly. They all waited calmly for Yuan Chonghuan to arrive.

"Everyone stands up!"

In a flash, the twenty-eight generals quickly stood up.

Yuan Chonghuan walked into the conference room, but not many people noticed that a young colonel was following him, and the generals only thought that he was the adjutant of the commander-in-chief, and they didn't have much idea.

Yuan Chonghuan walked to his position, saluted a military salute, then raised his hands and pressed down and said, "Okay, sit down!"

"The General of the Supervisor suddenly summoned us. I guess there must be something important to announce, right?" Zhao Rujiao asked as an old name.

Yuan Chonghuan smiled faintly and said, "Yes, there is indeed a major announcement, but it is not announced by this commander, but-"

"Everyone stands up and welcomes the emperor!" Yuan Chonghuan suddenly turned his body and knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly at Zhu Yinglong, who was wearing the uniform of an army officer behind him.

All the generals were shocked, but when they saw the commander kneeling down at a young colonel officer, they naturally did not dare to stand. They knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "The last general welcomes the Lord, the Lord will be in peace!"

Zhu Yinglong raised his head and laughed, "I'm flat, all the generals didn't expect that I would meet you in such an identity, right?"

"Master, the last general really didn't expect that the Master would suddenly come to our Liaodong." Man Gui said with an excited expression.

Zhu Yinglong looked upright and said loudly: "I came this time to make the Northern Expedition!"

A stone caused a thousand waves. As soon as the words were finished, the generals who came to attend the secret military meeting suddenly felt like they were blown up, with a look of surprise and joy on their faces. Everyone was looking forward to the Northern Expedition, because many soldiers, including themselves, had relatives living under the rule of the Qing people, and the people were looking forward to fighting back to their hometowns for more than a day or two.

"I can tell you that the order you received today to recruit young and strong soldiers to join the army and strengthen front-line defense is to prepare for the Northern Expedition. The purpose of this series of actions is to confuse Huang Taiji and make him mistakenly think that we are actually taking the initiative to defend, but in fact we must take the initiative to attack!" Zhu Yinglong explained loudly.

"Master, what's going to be unknown?" Zhao Rujiao asked.

"You are Lieutenant General of Zhao Ruo Sect, I recognize you. In the past, I like to use cleverness in wars and like to hide behind people. Now I am desperate to fight. I am known as "Zhao Sanlang for the Desperate"?" Zhu Yinglong asked with a smile.

"The Lord still remembers the nickname of the last one?" Zhao Rujiao was very excited.

"I remember, although I have only seen you generals for a few times, I remember everyone very clearly. When I awarded you a title, I once said to you that you should be brave by knowing shame and being brave. You have not only done it, but also done it very well." Zhu Yinglong patted Zhao Lujiao on the shoulder affectionately and said solemnly.

"The Lord still remembers the general, and the general wishes to repay the emperor's kindness." Zhao Shu taught a man who was seven feet tall, and his eyes turned red in an instant.

"Look, I forgot to answer your question." Zhu Yinglong smiled heartily and revealed the topic.

"What I am puzzled is that our Liaodong army is mobilizing its troops to recruit young and strong people today. Although we are trying to strengthen our defenses on the front line of the border, we will definitely be prepared for the Jin people when they fall into the eyes of the Jin people. Wouldn't it be the Jin people's wishes if they attack the main attack?" Zhao Rujiao asked questioned.

"I naturally know General Zhao's doubts, but something happened in the court. General Zhao and all the generals will soon understand that Huang Taiji will naturally be on guard against our attack, but I would never expect that we would take the initiative to attack. This comes from Huang Taiji's confidence, because the Ming Dynasty's active attack failed, but this time it is different. We will surprise Huang Taiji well. In the field, our Ming Dynasty will not lose to those barbaric Eight Banners Whip soldiers!" Zhu Yinglong answered Zhao Lujiao's question confidently.

Although the answer is not very satisfactory and even a little obscure, the emperor must believe the words, and Yuan Chonghuan did not object. Obviously, he knew some of the inside story. The coach did not object, and there was no need for them to object.
