Huang Taiji has indeed arrived in Pyongyang!

This was not only beyond the Ming Dynasty's expectations, but even beyond the expectations of all the Manchu dignitaries. After all, they never expected that the emperor would choose to defend the enemy in Pyongyang.

When Huang Taiji's pro-government troops arrived in Pyongyang, it was when the first snow fell this winter. When he looked at the snowflakes coming one after another, he laughed loudly.

"We, the Qing Dynasty, will win this battle!"

It is not a must-win, but a must-win!

Afterwards, he began to make preparations to face the Ming army. Although the walls had been fortified and the fields cleared before that, the real preparations came after Huang Taiji arrived in Pyongyang. Not only did he order people to dig long trenches, but he also used fort baskets to make temporary

He built multiple bastions and fortresses. In fact, his long trench was built with a bastion made of earthen baskets as the core. When he was making preparations, he scouted the horse and reported that the Ming army had arrived!

When they were more than thirty miles away from Pyongyang, the Ming army stopped attacking. Afterwards, they set up camps and strongholds close to the mountains and rivers, and defended them extremely tightly.

Huang Taiji is not surprised by this. After all, his opponent is also an expert in using troops. They may all like to take risks with their troops, but in fact they use risks and prudence, trying not to leave any loopholes for the opponent. After all, anyone

Vulnerabilities mean a very heavy price to pay.

"Prince Tak is here!"

After carefully examining the map in the big tent, Huang Taiji took a long time to utter these words. Several ministers in front of him stood behind him without saying a word. In the big tent, it was surprisingly quiet, which showed the tension before the war.

atmosphere.

Huang Taiji finally raised his head:

"Jilharang, I ask you, if the Ming army wants to attack Changhao, how sure are you that you can stop them? This is the place where our army and the Ming army will face off. If there is a mistake, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty will be destroyed."

There is really no place to die!”

"Back to the emperor, I have built a long trench here. There are antlers made of tree crowns in front of the trench, and there are also 38,000 elite new troops of our banner. Even if Zhu Ciying leads the entire army to attack, our army will be as stable as Mount Tai."

Kui Yi, who was standing aside, said confidently.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, please believe that no one can conquer your line of defense. This line of defense is definitely the strongest line of defense in history. Even if the Ming army attacks with the latest howitzers, it will not bring any harm to the heroic Eight Banners soldiers.

How many casualties have there been, and there are many cannons on the forts we built with forts, and they can fire the latest grenades, so there is no need to worry about the Ming army at all!"

Since coming to Korea, Kui Yi has been working hard to expand trade with the Manchus, and helping them train their army is one of them. In addition to selling gunpowder, artillery and muskets to the Manchus in exchange for gold and silver, he also expanded other people's trade.

Many businesses, and the success of the business has allowed him to receive awards from the company many times, which is why he appears here - to maintain relations with the Manchus as much as possible, to help them train their troops and build fortresses.

"Um……"

Huang Taiji nodded slightly and then said.

"Well, having said that, we must not underestimate the enemy. We have invested 30,000 people, but the Ming army has a hundred thousand troops. Only 30,000 people are not enough. I will bring hundreds of thousands of horses here to face the enemy directly.

, how can we only release 30,000 people? This time we are not trying to draw a tie with Zhu Ciying, but we are trying to inflict heavy losses on him, or even eliminate them! Let’s do this, we will allocate another 20,000 people and put them all under your control."

After that, he looked at Jierhalang and said.

"Prince Zheng, this is a rare opportunity. The Ming army attacks and we defend. As long as we hold the long trench and make Zhu Ciying pay a heavy price, he will definitely negotiate peace with us,"

Promote peace with fighting!

This is exactly why Huang Taiji is here!

Huang Taiji, who knew that no matter what, the Ming army would go all the way south and would never leave a way for him to survive, he knew clearly that the only way for the Qing Dynasty to survive was to defeat Zhu Ciying. Only by defeating him would his teeth collapse and he would suffer.

, he will no longer have any ideas about the Qing Dynasty.

In order to chip out Zhu Ciying's teeth, Huang Taiji personally led the troops to Pyongyang. At this moment, Huang Taiji was focused on how to use the troops. He only had eyes for the Ming army dozens of miles away. How would the Ming army respond?

"Well, Your Majesty, this is indeed the truth. However, we still have to guard against the Fangbao and Zhengfang Mountain City. There are more than 10,000 Ming troops there. If we let them cut off our retreat, it will be all over.

!”

Jirhalang reminded again. This was also what he was worried about. If the way back was cut off, everything would be completely lost.

Nodding, Huang Taiji then said:

"Well, we do need to be careful, but right now we have no other choice. Let's put it to death and survive! There is no hidden danger of being attacked from both sides in Seoul, but if the Ming army breaks through Pyongyang, the North Koreans will definitely start revolts.

At that time, we will be defeated and defeated. Don’t forget, there are still 100,000 green soldiers in our army, and they are Koreans..."

Going north to Pyongyang to defend the enemy was out of necessity. After all, North Korea was not the Qing Dynasty. If the Ming army was allowed to go south to Seoul to defend the enemy, Huang Taiji was worried about the unrest of the Green Camp troops.

"Your Majesty, although those Green Camp soldiers are Koreans, they are incompetent bitches. Your Majesty treats them as soldiers, gives them food and salary, and promises that they will be included in the Eight Banners of Goryeo for their military exploits in the future. Such a favor

, how could they be ungrateful? From the slave’s point of view, no matter what, they will never betray me, the Qing Dynasty!”

As the leader of the Eight Banners of Goryeo, Jin Xindali hurriedly defended himself. He was also a Korean, and a member of the second class of Korean nobles. He fled to the Manchus more than ten years ago. As a Korean, although he despised those untouchables in his heart, of course he

You know, for untouchables, what it means to join the Green Camp - it means a new life!

If an untouchable in North Korea wants to get rid of his "untouchable" status, he can only get an official position by taking the civil service examination in miscellaneous subjects and martial arts. At that time, his status will become a middle-class person! However, only men can take the exam.

Women can only be untouchables for the rest of their lives. But how many untouchables have the opportunity to take exams in miscellaneous subjects and martial arts?

However, any untouchable can join the Green Camp and become a soldier of the Green Camp. If he achieves military merit and joins the Eight Banners, his wife and children can also become bannermen. For those untouchables who are inferior to pigs and dogs, this is indeed a great opportunity.

They chose. Because of this, they will not betray.

"Jin Xindali, of course I know that there are loyal slaves in the Green Camp, but some of them will inevitably be deceived by others! So, we have to be on guard! What's more, if civil unrest breaks out in North Korea, then I will

What will the 160,000 troops eat? What will they use? So, if we fight this battle in Pyongyang, the North Koreans will wait and see, but if it is in Seoul, they will immediately side with the Ming Dynasty. The North Koreans..."

With a long sigh, Huang Taiji said helplessly.

"In their eyes, the Ming Dynasty is everything to them! A few years ago, King Li surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but he did not surrender in words. Everyone in North Korea was ashamed of this, but the strength was not as good as the Qing Dynasty, so that was all.

Now that Ming Dynasty has sent troops to rescue them, how can they sit back and watch?"

As an occupier, Huang Taiji, after experiencing the resistance of the Liao people when he first entered Liaodong, knew clearly what would happen if the Qing Dynasty could not use force to suppress others.

By that time, not only will no one be left at the mercy of the Qing Dynasty, they will even rise up one after another and attack them from all directions.

At that time, there were chasing troops in front and chaos behind. At that time, it would really be a dead end. The best option for the Qing Dynasty was to defeat the Ming army in Pyongyang. Only in this way can the rebellious intentions of the Koreans be dispelled.

Let them be willing to be slaves of the Qing Dynasty.

This was even the only option for the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty cannot lose now, and it cannot afford to lose either. This battle must be won no matter what. Otherwise, there will really be no place to die.

"That's it. I will go to the front line in person to see the situation there soon."

The reason why he did this was because he was uneasy! Huang Taiji really couldn't bear to leave such an important matter to those slaves. After all, slaves were slaves. Maybe they could work hard for their masters, but leaving the future of the Qing Dynasty to them would
