In late autumn, the howling autumn wind blew, and people and horses neighed everywhere in Shengjing.

Off to war again!

In the past few days, the Eight Banners army garrisoned in the Qing Dynasty gathered in Shengjing from all over the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty is about to march south again!

Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, who had been working hard all day, climbed up to the city tower and was overlooking the distance. The delicate evening breeze brought a slight warmth to his face, brushing away the fatigue and irritability of the day. The sunset was billowing on the horizon.

, greets the return of the sunset with its incomparable splendor.

Huang Taiji felt extremely relaxed and happy at the moment.

Looking to the west, the road leading to the Central Plains seemed to have become a thoroughfare, and there were no obstacles behind him on the left or right. He seemed to feel that he could leap into Yanjing Industrial City with just a flick of his whip, and just a little stretch of his arms.

You can hold the world in your arms. He said with a proud smile.

"No wonder people say that if you climb high, you will have ambitions for the country. I even have ambitions for the Southern Dynasties."

However, for Huang Taiji, what he wants now is peace talks with the Ming Dynasty. As long as he can become a country of brothers, or even a country of father and son, as long as the Southern Dynasty agrees, he can have more than ten years to recuperate.

By then, perhaps, we can really have ambitions for the Southern Dynasty!

After all, compared to the Southern Dynasties, the Qing Dynasty was too weak. Especially the population was very small. The population of Manchuria was only a few hundred thousand... But what about the Southern Dynasties? With a population of hundreds of millions, hundreds of thousands could be used at every turn.

, even hundreds of thousands of troops!

The Southern Dynasties had a prosperous population, which was really beyond the reach of the current Qing Dynasty!

As long as I have twenty years to live together!

Staring at the Baoyi Aha working in the fields far outside the city, in twenty years, these Han Chinese captured Aha will be the real Baoyi under the banner. By then, the Qing Dynasty will also be able to compete with the Southern Dynasty.

Got it!

At this moment, the guard approached:

"Your Majesty, I would like to see Xizuo who has returned from the Central Plains."

Huang Taiji said.

"I was thinking about the matter in the Central Plains, so I came from the Central Plains to summon all the princes, Baylor, and the great scholars from the three academies to Qingning Palace."

Even though the Fan family and others took the initiative to provide information about the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji still sent spies to the Ming Dynasty. They were all Han Chinese abducted a few years ago, but they took the initiative to surrender to their masters, and now they took the initiative to sneak into the Central Plains to collect information for the Qing Dynasty.

of.

One of them is named Wang Yiannian and the other is Sun Qixian. They are both members of the Ming Dynasty. They are waiting outside the Qingning Palace to be received. Huang Taiji saw that everyone had arrived and said to the guards:

"Call them in."

After the two came in, they kowtowed to the emperor and everyone else. Huang Taiji asked eagerly:

"How is the situation in the Southern Dynasties recently?"

Wang Niannian said quickly:

"Your Majesty, since Zhang Xianzhong raised the rebel flag again in Huguang Gucheng in May, rebels from all walks of life have gone to join him. When the slaves returned to the court, the rebels were divided into east and west. At this point, the Southern Dynasty can be called the "Fu Bureau"

Bankruptcy, the mainland of the Ming Dynasty once again fell into war and turmoil. Now the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Sichang, has received the emperor's order to go south to supervise the division. At present, various armies of the Southern Dynasty have gathered in Huguang and other places to suppress the rebels..."

Huang Taiji nodded slightly and said with a smile:

"So, Beizhili is indeed empty?"

"Back to the emperor, not only is Beizhili empty, Shandong and other places are also extremely empty. According to the information controlled by the slaves, except for the border troops, Beizhili is extremely empty internally. As for Shandong, although there are guard posts and new training officers,

The soldiers from Yuxiang are also unfit for use."

"Mr. Fan, do you think it's time for my army to enter the customs now?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that this opportunity cannot be missed and will never come back. Now is the perfect time. The Ming Dynasty would never have imagined that our Qing Dynasty would enter the pass one after another. This time, I will certainly be able to catch you off guard. In my opinion,

We can bypass Northern Zhili and Shandong, go all the way south to Huai'an, and then destroy Southern Zhili. In this way, we will definitely be able to achieve the emperor's plan to retain his Ming Dynasty."

The strategy of Can Ming was formulated last year. It was to invade the Ming Dynasty and kill and capture the people and corrupt the place to achieve the purpose of crippling the Ming Dynasty. Eventually, it forced the northern Ming Dynasty to collapse its economy and then choose peace talks.

Fan Wencheng's words made Huang Taiji think for a long time:

"Mr. Fan has seen clearly that last year during the Zhengming Dynasty, we helped the Western bandits to rebel. It seems that the help was not enough, and our blow to the Ming Dynasty was not severe. My eight-character strategy for governing the country last year: Can Ming, Lian Meng,

Youhan, Yisu, this year is also the case. Since we want to be enlightened, we might as well take greater action. I want to launch a larger-scale expedition."

Everyone was excited after hearing this. Dorgon immediately stood up and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to war and wash away the shame of last year."

Seeing Dorgon volunteering, Huang Taiji smiled and said:

"Prince Rui, this expedition is different from usual. I ask you to go deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains. You have to cross the Yellow River. Moreover, after Prince Rui's attack last year, Beizhili was already a red land. According to Ming Chen, "Since Beijing

The suburbs of Qingdu, Xinle, Zhending, Luancheng, Baixiang, Neiqiu, and Shunde are thousands of miles away. When you look at Jingbang, you can see the rubble in the surrounding suburbs. Nineteen people died in the entire Jinan county. This time, Beizhi

I don’t necessarily have anyone to take care of your food! And this time is to prepare for the future battle in the Central Plains. The Yellow River is easy to live with, but if the Ming army attacks, how will Prince Rui escape? Listen to me.

After all, do you have the courage?"

Faced with the emperor's question, Dorgon smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, are we, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, not as good as the common people of the Southern Dynasties? What's the point of crossing the Yangtze River, let alone the Yellow River?"

The reason why Dorgon is so eager is because he just lost a few Niulu at the beginning of the year, and now he is eager to regain his power by entering the pass - the key is to capture more Han people. After all, he has already

I heard that the emperor was preparing to form the Eight Banners of the Han Army. Naturally, the Han Army was selected from among the Baoyi Aha. The slaughtered Niu Lu could not come back, but the Han Army Niu Lu were also soldiers!

Huang Taiji, who knew why Dorgon was so active, certainly did not refuse his request. This was also an opportunity to attack Dorgon, so he laughed and said:

"With Prince Rui here, there is no need to worry about our Qing Dynasty not being prosperous. This year is the same as last year. Our army is divided into left and right wings and still detours through Mongolia. It enters the capital first and then the Central Plains. After the two armies meet, Prince Tingrui has full authority to dispatch."

Then Huang Taiji said loudly:

"The purpose of going deep into the hinterland of the Southern Dynasty is to plunder and kill as many people as possible in the Southern Dynasty and corrupt the Southern Dynasty. Only in this way will the Southern Dynasty take the initiative to negotiate peace with me. However, we can also try to absorb those who take the initiative to surrender."

"I will remember it."

After Dorgon and others responded, Huang Taiji said again.
Chapter completed!
