"Go to Daming to rob?"
Everyone was a little stunned at first, and then remembered the strategy proposed by Fan Wencheng some time ago.
Avoid the Guanning Defense Line, detour through the Mongolian tribes, cross the Great Wall, and enter the interior of the Ming Dynasty.
With the strength of their cavalry and their calculations, as long as they plan well, they can plunder once.
Women, children, food, ironware, etc. are what they lack most. If they do well, they can have enough to eat.
This kind of robbery was not only a material blow, but also a psychological blow to the people, soldiers, and people in power of the Ming Dynasty.
Mang Ergutai pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Great Khan, in the early stage, we made a plan to win over the Mongolian tribes, promised supplies, and then took a detour.
Now without the support of eight companies, and there is a trend of severe drought in the country, this may not be easy to operate! "
"Then bring them together to fight and tell them to follow us to Daming. How much they can grab depends on their own abilities.
Then he told them about the possibility of severe drought. It was their choice whether to eat meat and soup or starve.
But I also told them the whole situation. They knew what they had done to Ming over the years.
Once Daming Teng gets out of his way, just wait for Daming to settle accounts with them. The new emperor of Daming is not a vegetarian. "
"What if you still don't go?"
"Still not going?"
Huang Taiji sneered: "Then we will mobilize the army to push across. In the past, we could not or did not want to rob the surrounding tribes like Chahar Lindan Khan, because we wanted to unify the entire Mongolia.
If someone is robbed, it is easy to rebel, and it is easy to be forced into the opposite side.
But if they don't know what's interesting, then we can't blame them. There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that a Taoist friend will die but a poor Taoist will not die.
Anyway, the Ming Dynasty's field troops have very poor combat effectiveness. If we don't take the initiative to attack, it's okay to stick to it.
Secondly, withdraw the army that is chasing Chaharlindan Khan. Chaharlindan Khan can do whatever he likes, and we don’t care! "
At this point, Huang Taiji stood up fiercely: "Mang Gurtai, please order Amin and Fan Wencheng, first, immediately put pressure on the surrounding tribes and give them three months to unite the tribes;
Second, the army's symbolic retreat will give the illusion to the tribes along the way that they will retreat if they don't agree with us, and put pressure on them.
Three months later, no matter what the outcome, the entire army went out to pursue Chahar Lindan Khan. Our reserves of food and grass could only last for half a year at most, and there was no time to wait. "
"Saharian, Saharin, Derge, the matter of raising food in North Korea will be left to you three. You must do it quickly. As long as there is food, nothing else matters!"
…
A series of orders were given and everyone left.
On the throne, Huang Taiji looked at the people leaving, his face instantly darkened.
When everyone was there before, they were talking freely and holding the pearls of wisdom in their hands. They were completely different.
Even his expression at this moment was a bit ferocious.
He really couldn't understand that since his father Khan established Dajin in the 44th year of Wanli, all his strategies were unfavorable, and the entire situation was tilted towards Dajin.
Why is Father Khan's reign called Tianming? I just feel like this whole situation is destiny.
Why is my reign name Tiancong? Taken from "Riding in the light of day to see, relying on Heaven's wisdom to listen, relying on Heaven's wisdom to think."
It also expresses that the fate of heaven and earth is under control.
In fact, this was the case, but since the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty came to the throne, the entire situation changed instantly, so fast that he was caught off guard.
And one link after another completely disrupted his plan.
What is the war about? The right time, the right place, the right people.
But now the three have drifted apart. The Ming Dynasty has experienced the eradication of the eunuchs, relief for the disaster in Shaanxi, and the seizure of the Qin Prince's Palace, the Jin Prince's Palace, and eight families. The morale of the people of the Ming Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have issued such an extreme order just now that was inconsistent with the overall situation.
If this strategy fails and Dajin suffers a heavy blow, he will also be driven out of his position, and death will be waiting for him.
"Chongzhen and revitalization, is this also God's will?"
Huang Taiji frowned and couldn't figure out where the problem occurred.
Compared with Huang Taiji's sorrow, Chongzhen, whom he missed, was much more relaxed.
After dealing with the eight major locust merchants and the Jin Palace, the treasury was well fed, and the mood that had been suppressed since the time travel finally relaxed a lot.
But this kind of relaxation did not last for a few days. After Luan Jia entered the border of Shaanxi, the closer he got to Baishui, the heavier his heart became.
It was late March of the lunar calendar, the season when all things revived and the grass grew and the orioles flew, but the scene that could be seen was scorched yellow.
"Hush!"
Chongzhen gave a soft drink, and the horse team slowly stopped. Before the guards could come forward, he jumped off the horse, walked a few steps quickly, and jumped down to a farmland not far from the official road.
At this moment, the farmland was cracked due to drought. Chongzhen squatted down and grabbed a piece of soil. With just a little force, it shattered. A strong wind blew through, bringing up dust all over the sky.
Standing in the ground, Chongzhen frowned. History books only record that in the first year of Chongzhen's reign, the sky in Shaanxi was as red as blood. There were five years of famine, six years of floods, and fourteen years of drought.
But it did not say that there was also drought from the first year to the fourth year of Chongzhen.
Judging from the current situation, there may be a drought, but it will not be as terrible as the drought that occurred five years after Chongzhen.
Now we can only place our hope on potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other crops from the Agricultural Research Institute with high yield and strong adaptability.
"Somebody come!"
Du Yinxi immediately stepped forward: "Your Majesty!"
"Arrange people to go to various prefectures and counties in Shaanxi to investigate how the rain and weather have been since the Chinese New Year.
Then look for local elders to judge the overall rain situation this year based on their experience, and report it immediately after summarizing it! "
"I understand!"
Du Yinxi immediately responded that he was now more and more comfortable with the emperor's arrangements.
Since Luan Jia left the capital and followed the emperor, although it didn't last long, he has been conquered by the emperor.
He holds the power of life and death, but he doesn't kill indiscriminately out of anger, and he is not too surprised when he obtains huge amounts of property. The best way to describe him is to be flattering or not surprised.
And he is more concerned about the sufferings of the people, and does not disturb the people or create a big show.
Except for Taizu, there is probably no one like this who directly goes down to the ground to grab the soil to check the drought situation.
A glimpse of one spot reveals the whole leopard. Such a wise emperor deserves his loyalty.
After walking around to learn some things, Chongzhen took the team out again.
A few days later, the team arrived at the official road at the junction of Huanglong County and Baishui County, and saw a team of hundreds of people from Baishui County waiting quietly.
At the front of the team was a young general wearing armor and with a serious face. When he saw Chongzhen's cavalry, he immediately rode forward.
When he arrived in front of Luan Jia, he jumped off his horse and immediately saluted Luan Jia.
"My Majesty, Ma Xianglin, the general of the Shaanxi Conquest and Suppression Campaign, is here to greet your Majesty!"
