The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 267 Another good news
After returning to the original county magistrate's custody room in Liaoyang County, Bai Mu reported the news he got from the captives to Jiang Chuan one by one.

Jiang Chuan tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, pondered for a moment and said, "No wonder there are no big fish in Liaoyang City. It turns out that Huang Taiji was seriously ill, and they all ran back to grab the throne. This is interesting."

Bai Mu said: "Those captives said so. In order to confirm the news, the final interrogated several Tartar generals among the captives, and they all said the same thing."

Jiang Chuan pondered over the news, and suddenly thought of some historical materials he had read in his previous life.After Huang Taiji became seriously ill, he died without making a will to pass on the throne to anyone.After his death, Hauge, Dorgon and others, who were eligible to inherit the throne, were on the verge of fighting for the throne and almost went to war.

Later, because of his personal relationship with Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace or because of political compromise considerations, Dorgon proposed to make Concubine Zhuang's son, the ninth son of Huang Taiji, six-year-old Fulin as emperor.

This proposal was not only in line with the original intention of the ministers who supported Hauge's two yellow flags to support the prince, but also showed that Dorgon himself would not participate in the fight for the throne. In the end, both parties compromised and accepted the proposal.

Moreover, Dorgon also suggested that Prince Zheng Jierhalang would assist the government with him, and he did not have the power to monopolize, so in the end the Manchu nobles were forced to accept this proposal, and Dorgon became the actual power controller of the Manchu Dynasty. .

Of course, this is what happened in the original history.But in this specious time and space, I don't know if history will develop like this. After all, many things have changed.

Not to mention anything else, Oboi, the Minister of the Two Yellow Banners who strongly supported Hauge's succession in history, has died under his own hands, and Dorgon's brother Doduo has also been defeated by him. Will these factors affect Is the strength of the two sides competing for the throne so strong that it affects the direction of the throne?
However, Jiang Chuan didn't care who came to sit on the throne. It didn't make much difference to him whether Dorgon, Hauge, or the little boy Fulin came to be the emperor.

Because Man Qing was destined to be crushed into the dust of history by the iron hooves of his Jiang family army.

The question he is thinking now is that if the news that those captives said is true, then the attention of the entire Manchu nobles is now focused on the ownership of the throne, which has led to the gathering of troops in Shengjing, so the periphery must be empty.

That being the case, now is a good opportunity to capture Gaizhou and Guangning.Otherwise, once this opportunity is missed, once the ownership of the throne is clarified and the internal stability of the Qing Dynasty is stabilized, the defenses of Gaizhou and Guangning will inevitably be strengthened, and it will not be so easy to attack at that time.

It's just that I just won Liaoyang, and if I want to continue to attack Gaizhou and Guangning, my troops are a bit weak.Because on the one hand, a part of the troops had to be allocated to defend Liaoyang, guard the captives, and those restless people who were still loyal to the Tartars, which resulted in not too many troops available for expedition.

Secondly, when attacking Liaoyang, the shells of the red-clothed cannons were almost consumed, so if you want to attack Guangning and Liaoyang, you must use the traditional siege method. How long does it take to affect the morale of the soldiers of the Ming army, and what's more, it will weaken one's own strength. Once the Tatars launch a counterattack, it will be a bit troublesome.

But if such an excellent opportunity is not seized, Jiang Chuan will not be reconciled.

He needs to discuss with someone, and the best candidate is naturally Liu Ji.It's just that Liu Ji is currently in the Erlong Valley base.

Jiang Chuan raised his head and said to Bai Mu: "You personally bring someone back to Erlong Valley to pick up the military division to Liaoyang, and then you stay and guard the Erlong Valley, and let others send the military division over. Hurry up. If you have something on hand, go to Ran Wu Hand over, and leave immediately after the handover is completed."

Bai Mu cupped his fists to accept the order, turned around and strode away.

Now that Liaoyang is already in hand, many strategic arrangements in the future will be carried out around Liaoyang, and the various centers of gravity will gradually shift from Erlonggu to Liaoyang.

So many things need to be discussed with Liu Ji, and all civil matters need to be handled by Liu Ji. These are not what Jiang Chuan is good at, and he is too lazy to do them.

After thinking about it, it's still because there are too few talents at hand, otherwise, I wouldn't pick up one and would go back one.

Moreover, conquering Liaoyang does not mean that the entire region has been conquered.There are many villages and even tribal settlements around Liaoyang City, and even some earthen cities built by local people. These places have not yet been naturalized, and they need to be conquered one by one.

How to conquer, conquer by force or use the method of appeasement to stabilize temporarily.

In addition, it is spring now, which is the time for plowing and sowing. How to arrange farming?These all need someone to discuss and then formulate the charter.

It is easy to take down a place by force, but it is really difficult to govern it well and win the hearts of the local people for a long time.

Thinking of these, Jiang Chuan felt dizzy.

So he suddenly understood why there were so many foolish emperors in ancient times. It was really because being a wise emperor was not an ordinary hardship.Speaking of myself now, the real city is only Liaoyang, and the emperor is in charge of hundreds of thousands of cities in the world, so there are not many big and small things.

Although it is said that there are officials at all levels to help share the burden, but the big idea has to be taken by yourself.One mistake, the people below read the scriptures wrongly, and the kindness and kindness of the emperor and the court eventually turned into a tyranny at the bottom.

So this is also the main reason why many emperors still look like a Daoming monarch at the beginning of their accession to the throne, but after a few years they start to slack off and gradually become faint emperors. Being a good emperor is really tiring.

But now that he has embarked on this path, no matter how tired he is, he has to bite the bullet and hold on.

After sitting and thinking for a while, Jiang Chuan got up and walked out of the signing room, looked at the blue sky, took a breath of pure natural and pollution-free absolutely fresh air, and felt much better.

With the sound of steady and rhythmic footsteps, Jiang Chuan didn't need to turn his head to know that it was Li Jian, the military commander. When he turned around, Li Jian was walking towards him.

"Look at you, but there is good news? Is there another good news from Baishan?" Jiang Chuan looked at the beaming Li Jian and asked with a smile.

"My lord is wise, it is General Baishan who sent the victory report." Li Jian said with a smile, and then handed a battle report in his hand to Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan opened it and saw that it was the battle report written by Bai Shan himself. After a quick scan, he was in a good mood.

It turned out that after Baishan took the right army to Gaizhou City, he found that Gaizhou was also heavily fortified and could not attack, so he had an idea after sending people to reconnaissance around Gaizhou.

There are many Mongolian or Manchu villages near Gaizhou, and these villages are far away from Gaizhou city.Of course, there are Manchu or Mongolian Baochang in every village who rule hundreds of Han slaves of varying degrees. These Han slaves are assigned to each Manchu or Mongolian home as slaves for them. No food, no clothes, no one to care about after death.

Moreover, these Manchus or Mongols who were able to obtain Han slaves were all fighters who had fought hard on the battlefield, so they were eligible to be assigned slaves.

Once these Manchu or Mongolian slave owners have a large-scale war, they will gather their own weapons and armor to go out.If there is no war, they will farm at home. This is the principle of the Eight Banners system in Manchuria.

After Baishan learned about this situation, he sent several cavalry to look like horse bandits, looted more than a dozen Manchu villages, looted all the property and food of these Manchus, and then killed some Manchus and let them go on purpose. Some full people.

For a time, the Manchu villages in the entire Gaizhou area were full of grass and trees, and people were in panic.

Those Manchus who were "fortunately" escaped with their lives naturally went to Gaizhou to cry for help.

Adali, who guarded Gaizhou, naturally couldn't let it go, and sent a cavalry of 3000 people out of the city to suppress the bandits.

Naturally, Baishan had expected this to happen a long time ago, set up a pocket, let the three thousand Qing soldiers get into the pocket, and then suddenly launched a siege, almost wiped out the three thousand Qing soldiers, and the remaining hundreds of Qing soldiers fled in panic Back to Gaizhou City.

Therefore, Baishan means that he will continue to operate around Gaizhou. On the one hand, he will continue to loot Manchu villages for military use, and on the other hand, he will continue to use this to force the Tartars to send troops out of the city, and then attack them one by one to weaken the strength of the Qing army in Gaizhou.

　The third one arrives.The brothers are very helpful, the old cat decided to write two more updates at night, and continue to start at the fifth watch.
