Chapter 4, 27 Moments in Four Years of Chongzhen ([-])

The Fourth Moment: The Nightmare of the Beloved of the Times

In November of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Liaoxi, Daling River, the frontier of the war between the Later Jin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty

The bitter cold wind howled incomparably sternly in the wilderness, sweeping across this desolate and bitterly cold land like a sharp razor.The sky was leaden gray, presenting a chaotic atmosphere.The sun also seems to be a poor man, stingyly converging light and heat.

At this time when everything was in a state of depression and people were supposed to be rare, the Daling River was full of hustle and bustle—groups of Jurchen and Mongolian sentinels roared back and forth two hundred paces away from the city wall, defiantly provoking the defenders. The Guanning Army of the Ming Dynasty attracted the roar of artillery from time to time.

And three miles away from the city wall, there are countless banners and tents covering the ground like a colorful carpet. Ant-like coated slaves are busy between the camps, and they were not whipped to the ground by the overseer.As for the east of the Hou Jin army, there are still endless streams of baggage vehicles on the avenues leading to Liaoyang and Shenyang.On the flagpole in front of the Houjin army camp, the imperial flag of Huang Taiji Khan was flying high.

All the signs fully show that this is another huge battle related to the success or failure of the national destiny.

——After Yuan Chonghuan, the collaborator and treason, was sentenced to death in prison, after the frightened cabinet ministers kicked the ball, the old coach Sun Chengzong once again took over as the governor of Jiliao.After Sun Chengzong took office, he first regained several strongholds occupied by Hou Jin in the interior, superficially restored the Great Wall defense line, and managed to persuade the once rebellious Zu Dashou to return to the Ming camp. It can be said that he has made outstanding achievements.

But then, for the crucial Liaodong War, Sun Chengzong repeated the same old tune. Regardless of the domestic civil unrest and the plight of extremely exhausted financial, material and human resources, he began to spend huge sums of money on large-scale construction projects, trying to make his favorite The fortress battle was carried out to the end-although the famous official in the late Ming Dynasty had some talents, he really trusted the fortress battle too much, thinking that as long as he hid in the castle and became a ninja turtle, the enemy would not be able to do anything to him.But in fact, when Hou Jin had enough food and cannons in red, the Ming army hiding in the castle was no longer a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, but a turtle in an urn!

In any case, as the situation in the rear stabilized slightly, Sun Chengzong ordered Zu Dashou to build a city on the Daling River and counterattack Houjin with fortress tactics.

——Dalinghe City is located on the west bank of Daling River, more than 42 miles away from Jinzhou, and also more than [-] miles away from Youtunwei in Guangning. There are large hills and mountains between Daling River and Jinzhou.The city was first built in the third year of Xuande, and the city is twelve paces on Wednesday, one foot wide.It was rebuilt in the [-]nd year of Jiajing, with a height of two feet and five feet. It has been destroyed twice since the rise of the army in Liaodong.Zu Dashou led the elite Guanning army to build the city this time, building walls on the original city foundation, and the stones demolished by the Houjin army were all nearby, and the speed was much faster than building a new city.

In this way, even though Huang Taiji tried his best to mobilize [-] troops after learning the information, he launched an attack on Dalinghe City.However, it was delayed until the Ming army finished building Dalinghe City, and the main force of the later Jin army arrived at the front line after the military equipment and supplies were also robbed and transported into the city.

In Dalinghe City on the eve of the war, there were about 3000 elite soldiers of the Guanning Army from Zu Dashou, He Kegang, and Zu Kefa, and about [-] auxiliary soldiers from Shandong and Henan, plus merchants who accompanied the army. There are about ten thousand husbands.There are tens of thousands of grains stored in Daling River City, as well as countless gunpowder, arrows, and swords, which are enough to withstand long-term consumption.Facing such a tough bone, even with the fighting power of the Jurchen Eight Banners, it would be difficult to chew it off for a while.

Therefore, Huang Taiji, who had lost the upper hand, put on a siege posture and ordered to dig a moat along the periphery of Daling River City, which stretched for dozens of miles, which was almost equivalent to building an outer city around Daling River. All have trenches, and camps are set up behind the trenches, preparing for a protracted battle.

By November, the barren countryside outside Dalinghe City had completely changed compared to before the war. A majestic earthen city rose from the ground. In front of the earthen city were three ditches, the first two were slightly smaller, deeper and deeper. The width was less than eight feet. Behind these two small ditches were more than a dozen Houjin army barracks, which were used as the first layer of barriers to encircle the Daling River, led by Gushan Ezhen of each banner.After the first layer, there is the main trench with a depth and width of more than one foot. At the crenel, the height reaches one zhang five feet. Behind the Tucheng is the camp where the owners of the flags are located. Outside the camp, small moats are also dug to prevent horses, forming a second barrier for the siege of the city. Most of the banner guards are led by the banner owners. , ready to support the first line of defense at any time.There are various blue flags fluttering on the earth city, and many soldiers and soldiers are walking between the winding trenches. If you add some barbed wire, it can make people think that it is somewhere on the western front of the First World War. battlefield!

——Obviously, the Hou Jin army wanted to besiege the city at the Daling River and fight for reinforcements. This was not some unfathomable strategy and tactics. The Guan Ning army understood from top to bottom that Huang Taiji wanted to lure the elite of the Ming army to die.Sun Chengzong, the supervisor of Ji Liao, also understood, and also knew that there would be another big defeat...

However, under the repeated pressure from the censors in the court and the important cabinet ministers, as well as the various blind instructions of the scholars in the Ministry of War, Sun Chengzong had no choice but to piece together soldiers and horses very reluctantly, and repeatedly attacked Dalinghe City to break the siege.However, most of these reinforcements themselves are miscellaneous brands that have been in arrears of payment for several years, and the generals leading the troops have no courage to fight. As a result, no matter how many times they attacked, they were quickly driven back by the Jurchen iron cavalry every time, and every time they were chased all the way to the city of Jinzhou by the Hou Jin army.

After repeated defeats, not only the morale of the Ming army in Jinzhou and Ningyuan was depressed, but even the city of Beijing was full of rumors and panic.

However, Huang Taiji's attack on Dalinghe City also repeatedly hit his head with bloodshed—although Zu Dashou was famous for running away from generals in later generations, and his body was so stained that it was impossible to wash it away, but it was an experience after all. Once a rich veteran ruffian is forced to show his true skills, he should not be underestimated: this person will never defend the city, he will go out of the city every day, and there are endless plots and tricks. After killing him in just one month There were two lieutenants Jin, three guerrillas, and Niu Luerzhen several people. After killing and wounding more than five hundred Jin soldiers, the entire Eight Banners army was made highly nervous by him.In addition, there is still a lot of food in Dalinghe City, and the morale of the army is also very stable. The Guanning Army defending the city is also a veteran. It's just a slight loss, and Jiannu also suffered a lot of losses, and the entire Dalinghe City is still full of fighting spirit.

Fortunately, the red-clothed cannon that Huang Taiji spared no expense this year made a grand appearance soon, knocked down the outer fortresses of Dalinghe City one by one, and then began to shoot at the Ming Army artillery in the city, and finally regained his strength again situation.It's a pity that Zu Dashou in the city was still struggling, and the Jin army attacked the city several times, but he led his servants to beat them back.In the artillery battle, the Hou Jin army also did not have much upper hand.

Seeing that the military operations have reached a stalemate, and the frontline soldiers and horses are consuming huge amounts of food and supplies every day, it is really difficult for Jin to support such a protracted war due to the lack of national power at this time, and the severe drought in Liaodong and the thousands of miles of barren land. General mobilization to fight.As a result, Huang Taiji, who was in a dilemma, had to use political means instead, continuously shooting books at Dalinghe City or sending captured Ming generals to persuade him to surrender, but unfortunately there has been no progress so far.

Outside the city of Daling River, the King Khan’s big tent of the Houjin Army was completely silent, and the two sides were filled with the bannermen of the Eight Banners, as well as the generals of Gushan Ezhen and the commander-in-chief of each banner. There is a money mouse tail hanging on the back, and only some beards on the upper lip are left on their faces. Many of them have scars on their faces. When they occasionally raise their heads, their eyes always reveal ferocity, filling the whole big tent with a terrifying feeling. Cold brutality.

In the middle of the top of the tent is naturally sitting Huang Taiji, and on the left and right are Mang Gurtai and Dai Shan.Huang Taiji's face was quite gloomy, Mang Gurtai's fat and wide face had a rebellious look, and Dai Shan on the other side was looking down and fiddled with his fingers, seemingly in deep thought.

On a stool in the center of the big tent, there was a reply letter from Zu Dashou refusing to surrender... Zu Dashou's refusal to surrender was nothing in itself. Huang Taiji knew very well that from the perspective of interests, Hou Jin could not benefit Zu Dashou.Now the Guanning army has Liao pay and land, Zu Dashou himself owns a large number of fields in Ningyuan area, tens of thousands of tenants, Zu Dashou is the Supreme Emperor of Liaodong, even Sun Chengzong did not dare to force him.

And if the Guan Ning army surrendered, no matter how generous Huang Taiji said, in fact, he would definitely be taken back to Liaodong by the Hou Jin army, and at most he could get some fields, and then he had to be attached to each banner and completely reduced to the Eight Banners The vassal of the vassal, how can it be as comfortable as it is now?

Therefore, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, Zu Dashou is absolutely unwilling to surrender to Houjin... But what is more special is that Zu Dashou's letter of refusal was actually written on a fox fur, and this fox fur Nine tails were deliberately sewn onto it——When he saw this fox fur with nine tails, Mangurtai's face became very strange, the corners of his mouth twitched non-stop, as if he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh appearance.And Daishan kept his head down and remained silent, but from Huang Taiji's perspective, it was obvious that his shoulders were shaking slightly.As for the generals under the tent, quite a few of them couldn't help but burst into laughter, and then quickly covered their mouths with both hands, showing a look of fear...

Looking at the appearance of all beings in the tent, Huang Taiji's face naturally turned blue and white, but it was not easy to get angry, so he could only hold back his hatred in his heart.

Alas, I think back to when my father Khan Nurhachi raised his troops with thirteen sets of armor and announced the "seven great hatreds" against the Ming Dynasty, how powerful it was, and how powerful it was, and swept Liaodong like a rolling mat. Cutting down Tieling, breaking Shenyang, seizing Liaoyang, and going down to Guangning...the Ming army was frightened by the news, won a series of brilliant victories, and confidently shouted the rhetoric of "Jurchen is dissatisfied with ten thousand, ten thousand is invincible".

However, after winning the Battle of Guangning, the Jurchens' good luck, which seemed to be destiny since they started their army, seems to have gradually disappeared. Like gangrene, it has always threatened the hinterland of Jurchen in southern Liaoning.With the birth of Dongjiang Town, Mao Wenlong would come out to rob the Jurchen's rear hinterland at any time when the Later Jin regime sent troops on an expedition. On the islands and peninsulas, the Hou Jin army without a navy can only sigh across the sea.

For this kind of enemy who is as tough as brown sugar, the Hou Jin army undoubtedly hates it very much, and sent troops to attack Mao Wenlong again and again.However, the result of a series of crusades and battles gave birth to the real nemesis and nightmare of the post-Gold Army - the Battle of Lushun, the Battle of Jinzhou, the Battle of Gaizhou, the Battle of Nanguan... one after another unexpected The defeat of the Jurchens almost ruined the Jurchen's reputation for bravery.Stepping on the bones of many Jurchen warriors, Huang Shi, this unknown pawn who had met Huang Taiji once, actually started from a desolate island and embarked on the road of a famous general step by step!
After being defeated repeatedly by Huangshi, Huang Taiji, who learned from the pain, managed to gather [-] Niulu's heavy troops, set up a net during the Battle of Fuzhou, and led Huangshi's [-] soldiers into the ambush circle.But even in the desperate situation of being completely unprepared and suddenly ambushed, Huangshi just let the infantry spear formation launch a full charge, and the entire encirclement circle designed by Huang Taiji fell apart and collapsed...

When the Battle of Juehua Island broke out, no one in the entire Houjin Army dared to confront Huangshi head-on.Seeing that he could not win against this opponent on the battlefield, Huang Taiji had no choice but to use his brains on intrigues and tricks, but in the end he achieved Huangshi's legendary reputation of "entering Liaoyang with a horse and beheading slave chieftains alone"!Although Huang Taiji knew very well that his father was not assassinated by Huangshi, the problem is that no one would believe him even if he told it!

Fortunately, at this juncture of repeated battles and defeats, panic, and internal and external troubles in the post-Jin Kingdom, Huang Taiji, who came to the throne in danger, finally showed that he shoulders the favor of fate, and as the darling of the times, he is destined to be full of luck in everything he does. , suddenly blessings descended from the sky, and received great help from an international friend Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, and a group of fatuous civil servants in the Ming Dynasty. With a huge amount of food and fodder, he thoughtfully helped him kill Mao Wenlong, starved the Dongjiang army to death, avenged countless Jurchen warriors, and then managed to mobilize troops to send them to Huang Taiji to wipe them out, destroying Ming's border defense forces little by little, and finally almost even cooperated with the outside world Opening the city of Beijing, forcing Emperor Chongzhen to sign an alliance under the city, repeating the scene of "the shame of Jingkang" in the mouth of the Han people... Unfortunately, the success fell short after all.

Next, Huang Taiji's luck began to change from ups and downs. There were not only the awe-inspiring prestige of sweeping the capital of the Ming Dynasty and smashing the Ming army from all walks of life, the rich harvest of plundering Hebei and Shanxi, but also the battle of Luanzhou and several encounters. In the battle of war, Chen Xin, a freshman general from the Ming Dynasty, led the Wen Dengying Camp in Huju Dengzhou, and was depressed repeatedly.When the Jin army broke through Xuanda and swept Shanxi after last year, they lost another battle in front of a guy named Wang Dou.

Not long ago, the Eight Banners force was still on Shenmi Island in Liaodong, and was hit hard again by Chen Xin's Dengzhou Army, killing and injuring thousands of people, somewhat losing face... Although compared with Huangshi's threat to Jurchen in the past It is still far away, but some people have already started to compare Chen Xin with Huangshi.

However, the above-mentioned loss of troops is just a minor problem for the Houjin Army, which has a great family and business. What really makes Huang Taiji feel heartbroken is that the Jianzhou Jurchen has made the largest sum since its rise. Intangible assets, that is, the battlefield myth of "Jurchen is less than [-] and invincible" has finally been completely bankrupt under the repeated attacks of Huang Shi, Chen Xin and others, and the refutation of Yuan Chonghuan's treasonous conspiracy!
——As Jiannu fell to the sand again and again on the battlefield, the invincible prestige of the Jurchen iron cavalry was greatly discounted one after another, and finally completely collapsed. Even the Jurchens themselves dared not continue to brag , but the morale of the Ming army from all walks of life in the world has all been raised.

By the fourth year of Chongzhen, all scholars in the Ming Dynasty had unanimously recognized that the combat effectiveness of the Jurchen iron cavalry was actually the same, and they could be defeated with a little effort.And the reason why the Jiannu Tartars have been able to sweep Liaodong, sweep the capital, and make such a fuss over the years is not that the Jurchen cavalry are too good at fighting—in fact, these Tartars who use the Romance of the Three Kingdoms as a military book are very inexperienced, often Even the cavalry could not defeat the infantry, and it was entirely because the Ming court had always been full of treacherous officials, there was no sky, and there were constant internal traitors who betrayed the country and framed Zhongliang, which led to such an unmanageable corruption and defeat.

As for why so many civil servants and military generals have been fascinated, they actually gave up their fame and fortune in Ming Dynasty, lost their reputation and reputation, and went to the Jurchen as traitors one after another, and even lurked in court as ghosts, even if they destroyed their families. I don't hesitate to... um... this, it must be that there are masters of demons among Jiannu who are good at deceiving people's hearts, just like the Yellow Turban Taoism in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, they can hook people's souls away .

Therefore, the image of Huang Taiji in the minds of scholars in the Ming Dynasty also changed from a muscular, fierce barbarian with a mace in his hand and excellent martial arts to a cult master with disheveled hair, burning incense, and offering sacrifices to gods with virgins. Priest...or even worse...

According to the libretto of some storytellers in Beijing, this Jurchen thief chief Taiji is a nine-tailed male vixen who was reincarnated from Daji of the Shang Dynasty. A chaste and strong girl, as long as Huang Taiji takes a look at her, her muscles and bones will become weak and she will be dazzled. From then on, she will be willing to be lowly and serve him as his slave and handmaiden... Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Dushi, accidentally caught him Since then, he has been obedient to Huang Taiji, not hesitating to ruin his reputation, steal his family, and send food and money to support the establishment of slaves. He also ordered to kill Mao Wenlong to paralyze Dongjiang Town, and actively weakened the defenses of the Great Wall. In the end, he helped Huang Taiji Breaking through the customs and entering Beijing, the inside and the outside should cooperate to seize the 300-year-old kingdom of Ming Dynasty.

And after Huang Taiji entered Beijing, the reason why Yuan Chonghuan repeatedly asked His Majesty the Son of Heaven to discuss peace with Houjin was also Huang Taiji's trick: as long as Yuan Chonghuan fooled the emperor to shout and answer on the city wall, he accidentally glanced at Huang Taiji, With Huang Taiji's seductive art fully activated, Emperor Chongzhen would be fascinated by the sorcery, obediently take off his dragon robe and give Huang Taiji his throne, causing the Ming Dynasty to fall overnight...

In addition to the above-mentioned conjectures, some people also cited empirical evidence: in the year when Huang Taiji led the Jin army to ravage Gyeonggi, several crazy beauties with outstanding looks but not very bright minds appeared in various places in the suburbs of Beijing.Not only did they not hide from the Houjin soldiers, but they actively inquired about the location of the Jurchens' camp, and they kept saying that they were going to be the fourth elder brother's woman.God knows when there was the fourth elder brother they mentioned in the Houjin country?Who is Yinzhen?
However, the above-mentioned crazy women who defected to the Tartars came a step too late. At this time, Huang Taiji had already returned with a full load of Jurchen soldiers.So in the end, some of them were sold into brothels to pick up customers, and some were treated as lunatics and kept in temples. However, even if these women entered the temple, they were restless. In the end, they had to put them in wooden cages and sink them into tents... Now that I think about it, these crazy and poor women probably became so insane, insane and immoral because of Huang Taiji's misfortune during the marching practice of charming skills. Bar……

Because the story was so eloquent, even some Jurchen and Mongolian dignitaries were dubious after it was spread to Liaodong through various channels.For example, one night, Huang Taiji was very depressed to find that Chu Fujin Bumbutai (later Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang) stretched out his hand to touch his buttocks while he was asleep, as if wanting to Find out if you really have nine tails...

Huang Taiji, who should have been the darling of this era and blessed with the aura of "Mandate of Heaven", was naturally very annoyed by this hateful rumor that denied his human identity. He also tried to clarify and defend himself, but unfortunately it didn't work at all. .On the contrary, the leader of the White Lotus Sect in the Central Plains actually sent a secret envoy to the outside of the customs, trying to draw Huang Taiji into the sect in a whimsical way, and named him "Supreme Nine-Tails Great Guardian"... This made Huang Taiji dumbfounded: Wait for these monsters from the Ming Dynasty, I really think Ben Khan is a fox!
Closer to home, after receiving Zu Dashou's ingenious letter of rejection from the nine-tailed fox fur, Comrade Huang Taiji, recognized as the world's number one vixen by the ruling and opposition parties of the Ming Dynasty, had no choice but to announce the end of the military discussion depressingly, no matter how angry his heart was. Return to the camp, pay attention to night patrols and curfew, and beware of night attacks by the defenders in the city and the Jinzhou Ming army... In short, this dull siege battle will continue for a long time.

As a result, many Jurchen generals couldn't help laughing just a few steps out of the big tent, which made Huang Taiji's face as black as the bottom of a pot, and he became more and more depressed.

However, just as the vixen Huang Taiji, who was full of anger, went back to his dormitory sullenly, and was about to rest and go to bed with some wine and food, he was again devastated by an unimaginable bad news, and even lost his temper Kicked the messenger out.

"...What? The city of Ninggu Pagoda was burned down by a group of big iron birds? What the hell are you talking about?"

"... I am profusely profuse! Everything this slave says is the truth!"

Looking at the enraged Huang Taiji, Sagali, the guard of Ninggu Pagoda who had just been kicked over, reluctantly got up from the ground and replied tremblingly.

Under the dim candlelight, one could see that this guy was covered in tattered clothes, his expression panicked and haggard, and a short section of hair grew on the top of his head—according to the custom of the Jurchens, he had to shave once every five to seven days, apparently Sagali I haven't shaved my head on time lately.

But what Huang Taiji cares about now is of course not the length of Sagali's hair, but what is going on in Ningguta (modern Jiuguta Village, Changting Town, Hailin City, Heilongjiang Province).

"...Back to the Great Khan, as far as the slave knows, things are probably like this..."

As the rear of the Houjin regime, since Nurhaci sent troops to defeat the Woji tribe in 1610, conquered both sides of the Suifen River, captured more than [-] tribes, and moved a large number of tribes to the Liaodong area, the area around Ningguta has been very calm.

But just two months ago, a person who claimed to be from the Urgu tribe under the Warka tribe suddenly came to Ningguta and met with the guard Sagali, saying that a group of pirates had occupied Vladivostok in the east.

For this sudden enemy situation, Ningguta guard Sagali certainly had to pay attention to it, and he hurriedly sent someone to Vladivostok to inquire about the news.But this inquiry was good, and he almost didn't scare him to death—according to the reports from his subordinates, this group of pirates was very powerful. Suddenly wiped out the powerful Urgu tribe there.

Moreover, those pirates were very rich. The spies who had seen those pirates said that the pirates' clothes and accessories were very exquisite.And they also have firearms that can be fired in succession, throwing explosive fire mines at will...

Sagali instinctively felt threatened by this group of pirates who appeared suddenly.But whether to attack Vladivostok next, Sagali was very hesitant—because Ningguta was located in the rear and there was no war all year round, he only had a few hundred soldiers in his hands.

Although he could recruit a group of young and strong Jurchen tribes near Ninggu Tower, the equipment of these tribe fighters is really poor, and none of them have been trained in the army formation. .How can you beat these powerful pirates?

After thinking about it, he finally brought more than 300 people to Vladivostok. Under the banner of Hou Jin Da Khan, he pulled up a group of mobs from nearby tribes and used them as cannon fodder to launch a tentative sneak attack on the pirate stronghold in Vladivostok... Anyway, the dead are not For one's own people, no matter how bad the loss is, there is no need to feel sad.

As a result, this chaotic attack failed unexpectedly.The bullets and shells fired by the pirates wiped down the Jurchen warriors with bone arrows and stone axes.Not to mention that the cannon fodder from the nearby tribes was almost wiped out, and even most of the real tartars brought by Sagali died.

In the end, Sagali escaped from the battlefield with only more than 30 people, avoided the pursuers, and successfully sneaked into the vast mountains. After several days, he returned to Ninggu Tower in a state of embarrassment.But the scene that appeared in front of them made them dumbfounded - Ninggu Tower had been burned into a pitch-black ruin!Sagali and the family members of his subordinates, as well as many bannermen, young and old, were all burnt to charcoal in the city!
Therefore, the desperate Sagali saw that he was homeless, so he had to go all the way south to find Da Khan to report the matter.

"... I heard from the survivors at Ninggu Tower that several huge iron birds flew from the east that day. They were very terrifying. They could drop iron eggs that could explode and catch fire. These iron birds Burned down the city of Ningguta. And when I led people to attack Vladivostok, I saw with my own eyes a few iron birds flying in the air, rushing down from the sky and throwing explosive iron eggs, attacking us The team was blown away..."

Sagali stared at his red eyes and cried, "...profusely! I beg you to avenge us! Kill those bastards!"

But Huang Taiji didn't agree immediately, but comforted Sagali with gentle words, and asked someone to take him down to rest.

Then, when he turned his head, Huang Taiji ordered his personal guards to imprison Sagali and the few entourages he brought with him. The news of the burning of Ninggu Pagoda must not be spread, causing the morale of the soldiers on the front line of the Daling River to be imprisoned. Was shaken—although judging from the way Sagali came all the way from Shenyang and Liaoyang, it is estimated that this bad news will not be kept for a long time. This guy has never been a tight-lipped guy...but he can still hide it for a while Bar!

In the back, looking at the map of Liaodong on the bedroom table, Huang Taiji frowned and drew a circle on the position of Vladivostok, and then felt even worse - although Sagali's words may be exaggerated, but Vladivostok A new hostile force has emerged there, I am afraid it is absolutely true.

In this way, the Hou Jin regime, which was originally sandwiched between Ming, North Korea, and Mongolia, and faced enemies from three sides, and even the last stable rear area, would no longer exist.Although Vladivostok is still far away from the core area of ​​Houjin's rule, if the gang of sturdy pirates follow the Tumen River waterway and go all the way to Jianzhou Zuowei, they can cause ten times or even more damage to Houjin than in the past. Mao Wenlong's threat...

Oh, what the hell, you pirates are obviously so powerful, why don't you plunder the colorful world of Korea, Japan, and Ming Dynasty in the south? What's wrong?Huang Taiji was rubbing his temples with a splitting headache, feeling that his mind was full of messes—out of the instinct of a military strategist, he certainly wanted to nip the disaster in Vladivostok in the bud, but the current situation in the whole country The military and material resources have already been suppressed in the west of Liaoning and filled in the Daling River. It is impossible to have spare power to go to Vladivostok.

More importantly, since Huang Taiji had bet too much money on the Dalinghe battlefield, he could not allow him to put away his chips and leave the field halfway.If they return from the front line of Daling River without success, it will severely damage the morale of the Houjin Eight Banners and deal a heavy blow to Huang Taiji's prestige and prestige.Even the position of Khan King under his ass may not be very secure-even if he is not defeated, as long as he does not gain anything, it is a loss.

"... Oh, it's really difficult for the country!" Huang Taiji almost moaned in pain, he didn't know what to do.However, just when he was in such a bad mood by successive bad news that he was about to lose sleep at night, finally another messenger sent him a piece of good news thoughtfully.

"...Ming Ting Piao didn't withhold food and salaries, which led to a riot in Dongjiang Town, and the islands were starved to death? It's really great! Please open your eyes, the gang of untouchables who are enemies of my Dajin must starve to death! This is great, at least the Liaonan side no longer has to worry about being taken advantage of by the Dongjiang Army!"

Putting away the letter paper contentedly, with a very rare good mood, Huang Taiji got into bed, and closed his eyes in a drowsy state.

However, what Huang Taiji, who was immersed in his sleep, didn't know was that even the last piece of good news he received was now outdated...
