Inside the Chongzheng Hall.
Fan Wencheng looked at the contents of the notice, his expression changing rapidly.
He read hundreds of words for a full quarter of an hour.
In the end, his expression hardened, and Huang Taiji, who had been observing, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great Khan, are these available in the whole city?"
"It's all over the city. Overnight, everyone in the streets knows about it. The news can't be blocked."
After Huang Taiji finished speaking, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he added: "According to rumors, the Ming court also wants to imitate the death order in Jianghu and pursue the three of them.
For surrendering alone, if you have a first-class official position, you will be rewarded with one hundred thousand taels of silver. "
Fan Wencheng's already gloomy expression worsened again. He didn't expect Daming to be so cruel.
Both are killing, but he naturally understands the mystery.
“Great Khan, the three targeted policies have directly blocked our space for development and growth.
Especially the third item, the territory we occupy now is large or small, and there are many kinds of minerals, but we are extremely lacking in technology.
Such as mining, smelting, manufacturing, cultivation, etc.,
If the craftsmen return to the Ming Dynasty, the impact on us will be huge, ranging from being unable to expand in eight or ten years to being direct..."
Fan Wencheng didn't finish his words, but his meaning was clear.
Huang Taiji naturally knew it in his heart and said softly: "Mr. Fan, does he have any countermeasures?"
Fan Wencheng pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Internally, we will once again increase the rewards for those who surrender. There are always people who like high-ranking officials and generous salaries.
Secondly, giving heavy profits to craftsmen will not only increase the amount of money, but also reward them heavily if they develop new things, such as officials, land, money, beautiful women, whatever they want,
As for businessmen, businessmen pursue profits, and they probably only want to avoid the limelight for a short period of time. It will be fine once they pass the limelight.
Externally, we also want to spread the word. If one person dares to kill me, we will kill hundreds of people from the other side.
Anyone who dares to accept the reward will be hunted to the ends of the earth until they die! "
When Fan Wencheng said this, his face was full of sternness.
Since you don’t want us to have an easy time, then everyone shouldn’t have an easy time.
A hint of surprise flashed in Huang Taiji's eyes, and even Daishan and others looked at Fan Wencheng with a hint of madness.
"Okay, it's settled!"
Huang Taiji was very happy and had no other choice.
After deciding on this matter, Huang Taiji asked again: "What about the coalition forces?"
"The Great Khan seems to have made a decision in his heart."
Fan Wencheng whispered: "According to the current speed of the coalition forces, it is estimated that they will enter the Karaqin tribe in about twenty days.
If the Great Khan has thought it through, the army will quickly turn around from there, divide the troops into three groups and break through the three passes, and then join forces together to march directly to Zunhua and Ji Town, which are only eighty or ninety miles away from Ji Town.
With our speed and combat power, we can completely take Jizhen and Zunhua by surprise.
It is okay to leave quickly after a day or two of robbery, or to advance directly towards Beijing. "
Huang Taiji was silent, but he was making quick calculations in his heart.
Taking a detour to attack was a very dangerous and unexpected decision.
Once the news is leaked and the escape route is blocked by the Ming Dynasty, what awaits them will be a brutal bloody massacre.
On the opposite side of Liaodong, there is only a Guanning cavalry that can fight, but their numbers are completely incomparable. If they attack them, Hongyi's cannons will not be able to use them.
As for Mao Wenlong on Pi Island, he is even more unafraid. Let’s not talk about Mao Wenlong’s passiveness and sabotage in work and his self-respect.
A few years ago, I was a little afraid of their harassment, but now they can be driven into the sea even if they go ashore together.
"Great Khan, I think it's time to make a decision now.
First, after nearly a year of reorganization, the Ming Dynasty has sufficient treasury, no shortage of food and grass, and many capable ministers and famous generals.
The three towns of Xuanfu, Datong, and Taiyuan could already see the Ming Emperor's intention, and they were ready to march on the royal court;
Secondly, the Firearms Research Institute of the Ming Dynasty can now imitate twenty Hongyi cannons. The longer they go, the more they can produce.
By then, with a hundred or so aircraft at Shanhaiguan, we will be able to push back the Guanning defense line, but facing the world's first barrier, there is absolutely no hope of success.
Thirdly, some of Ming's strategies are directly aimed at our most fundamental strategies. Even the few suggestions just given below will still make craftsmen fearful.
It only takes a few assassinations to make craftsmen reconsider;
Fourthly, as I was returning west from Guihua City, droughts occurred in many places along the way. Based on the previous situation, there will definitely be droughts from this year to next year.
Now only the Haraqin tribe is asking for help. In a few months, the autumn and winter season will begin, and there will be no reserves. If various ministries ask for help again, unrest will easily occur. "
…
Fan Wencheng gave nine consecutive reasons why he must take a detour to attack Ming Dynasty.
Every one of them hit the point directly, and everyone in Huang Taiji and Chongzheng Hall looked solemn.
Whether it is from military, economic, people's livelihood, prestige, etc. considerations, it is necessary to enter the customs, which will give the Ming Dynasty a psychological and morale blow to both the high-level officials and the people.
"Great Khan, if one day the Hongyi cannon can be moved, and hundreds of Hongyi cannons are escorted by a hundred thousand troops,
Once outside Shengjing City, the consequences..."
"Mr. Fan, Mr. Fan, this is unlikely."
Fan Wencheng suddenly turned his head and looked at the person who made the noise, his eyes full of burning meaning: "Do you think the Ming Dynasty can't raise an army of 100,000, or that it can't build Bai'er and 80 Hongyi cannons?
Still can't move? So how did so many artillery pieces appear in Ningyuan City?
Didn't Ming Dynasty think of mobile artillery?
They must have thought about it and they must be studying it. "
"Then why can't we develop steadily, unify all the Mongolian tribes, and strengthen ourselves?
If we have 400,000 people, what does Ming Dynasty mean?
If we also develop firearms, wouldn't we also be able to attack cities? "
"Do you think Ming is a fool? Facing Lin Danhan and us, will Ming win over other tribes and give them daily necessities, and they will follow Ming?
Furthermore, after unification, will these tribes be concentrated or stationed in their own grazing areas?
Gather together, 400,000, do you know how much a person consumes by eating horse chews in a day? Can we afford it?
Scattered, Ming Dynasty only needs an elite team to enter the grassland to stir up trouble and rain. Think of Huo Qubing! "
Everyone wanted to refute, but they didn't know where to refute.
Huang Taiji looked at everyone: "What do you mean?"
Dai Shan said in a deep voice: "According to what Mr. Fan said now, there are reasons for fighting. Although the risk is high, it is not impossible as long as the plan is careful!"
"In that case, let's take the risk,"
"Khan, fight!"
"Kill them all, steal them all!"
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another. Fan Wencheng made the matter so clear. If they still held objections, they would be really stupid.
