"How sure are you?"
Huang Taiji chuckled: "This is an interesting question. I say it's 100%, do you believe it?"
"You can't, because you are Huang Taiji!"
"Hahaha... interesting!"
Huang Taiji laughed loudly, took a deep look at Yagyu Munomi, and said calmly: "The right time, the right place, and the right people, so far, the three are only good!"
Having said this, Huang Taiji stood up and picked up a pen to circle several cities on the map on the side, namely Guangning, Panshan, Taian, Liaozhong, and Xinmin County, and then connected these cities together to form a lock up.
Yagyu Munenomi and others who were watching this circle were puzzled and confused.
Without waiting for them to think about it, Huang Taiji continued: "The geographical advantage has been taken advantage of. Generally speaking, the weather is not something that can be done by humans. It would be better if it can rain a few times. If it doesn't rain, Benhan has other ways to deal with it. At this stage, …”
Before he could finish his words, Masayuki Hoshina interrupted, with a puzzled look on his face: "Tian Conghan, this matter is related to the lives and future development of hundreds of thousands of soldiers from our three parties. It is not a trivial matter!"
"It's okay if Ben Khan says it's okay. If we, Daikin, are the first to suffer the failure, will Ben Khan make fun of Daikin's future?"
Huang Taiji smiled faintly, with an expression of wisdom: "The only thing we are missing now is people. At present, we have 260,000 troops. This Khan has issued a recruitment order throughout the territory of Dajin to recruit all those who can fight. soldiers,
To be on the safe side, it is best for both of you to increase your troops by more than 50,000 and more than 400,000. Even if we face the Ming army head-on, we will definitely win.
As long as we exhaust the Ming Dynasty's northern army, the Ming Dynasty will not have any elites that can compete with us in a short time, and we will be able to control the Guanning defense line and invade the Ming Dynasty.
The vast territory, rich products, endless resources, money, beautiful women, etc. are all ours.
If you increase your troops again, this Khan promises to give us 10 million taels of silver or equivalent supplies after we enter the customs!
If you can increase your troops, I am 80% sure to defeat the Ming army! "
"Twenty million taels!"
Hoshina Masayuki thought for a while and then said a piece of data: "If you agree, I can go back and explain the situation to the general!"
"We also need 20 million taels of supplies and 50,000 troops!"
After Masayuki Hoshina finished speaking, Turubaihu Khan also spoke up.
One of the reasons why they agreed was because Huang Taiji said that they were 80% sure that they would have territory only after entering the pass. After defeating the Ming Dynasty, they would have an easier time in the future.
Secondly, the two of them have signed an offensive and defensive alliance and are ready to fish in troubled waters. Even if Huang Taiji does not mention increasing troops, they will find reasons to increase troops.
Unexpectedly, Huang Taiji actually offered to increase the number of troops and also offered to pay him. At this time, if you don't open your mouth, why are you waiting?
"This Khan agreed. You only have one month. The Ming Dynasty's northern army will set off at any time. The sooner the better!"
"Farewell!"
"Farewell!"
Masayuki Hoshina and Tulu Baihuhan clasped their fists and walked outside, coming and going like the wind.
After Mongolia and Fusang's people left, Huang Taiji watched and called a group of generals.
"Hauge, Saharian, you two will lead the yellow flag to station in Xinmin City, waiting for this Khan's order!"
"Shuotuo, you can recruit two elite soldiers from Xianghongqi, and then gather troops from surrounding towns to guard Kangping City. Luo Xiujin will assist!"
"You are not allowed to evacuate without this Khan's military order. Violators will be punished according to military law!"
"The last general takes command!"
The four of them saluted in unison.
But Shuotuo said doubtfully: "Great Khan, I am a little confused. We are defending the Liao River with all our strength, so we should guard it with heavy troops. Now we should divide the troops to garrison the two cities on the other side of the Liao River to spread out the troops?"
Listening to Shuotuo's doubts and looking at Hauge, Huang Taiji said softly: "The third chapter of "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, "Planning and Attack", says: First plan to defeat and then to win. Do you know this sentence? the meaning of?"
“First think of ways not to lose, and then think of ways to make yourself win.”
"This is the correct answer, but you are too obsessed with the art of war. This sentence has another meaning: first think about what you will do if you fail, and then think of ways to win. If things don't work out, there are ways to recover. There is room for preparation for a rainy day,
Although we are a little timid, do not dare to give it a go, and lack the determination to fight and survive, we have not yet reached that step.
Moreover, we have gathered the forces of Mongolia and Fusang, and we do not lack this force. "
"Understood!"
Hao Ge and Shuo Tuo were thoughtful and understood Huang Taiji's intention for such an arrangement.
Huang Taiji nodded with satisfaction and then looked at Bao Chengxian: "Mr. Bao, according to the predetermined plan, prepare defensive objects. In this battle, we will focus on delaying, exhausting the Ming Dynasty's energy, supplementing by attacking and harassing, and kill the sergeant!"
After another explanation, everyone took the order and left.
In the lobby, Huang Taiji stared at the circle he had just drawn on the map, his eyes flashing with cold light: "Even though he is suffering from infamy, for the sake of Daikin's future, I have no choice but to act cold-bloodedly!"
For a time, every city, every Niulu, and every banner in the entire Dajin territory was recruiting combat-ready soldiers, and they were assembled around Shenyang for temporary training, while the Eight Banners troops began to be deployed along the Liao River to repair official roads.
Every fishing boat on the Liao River and Hun River was confiscated, and anyone who entered the river to fish, wash clothes, etc. was strictly ordered. Violators would be punished accordingly.
Carloads of stones and wood were transported from the mountains to the city and then onto the city wall;
One trench after another was dug outside cities such as Liaoyang, Anshan, and Shenyang;
The Mongolian and Fusang armies in North Korea escorted countless supplies across the Yalu River and headed towards Liaoyang, Shenyang and other cities.
The entire Liaodong was shrouded in dark clouds, swords were drawn, the wind was roaring, and every tree and plant was under attack.
Compared with their tense situation, although the territory of Ming Dynasty was also very lively, it was relatively peaceful. The people were discussing when to send troops.
If laborers hadn't gathered from all over the city every day to transport grain and grass to Shanhaiguan, they would have wanted to make a fuss in the Yamen and ask if the imperial court was taking the opportunity to 'make money'.
This wait lasted another half month, and it was also the end of March.
In Dongnuan Pavilion, Wang Zheng from the Industrial Research Institute was finally welcomed.
After some salutes, Wang Zheng presented a box and continued: "Your Majesty, the three-wheeled field artillery vehicle has been completely completed and has been fired by the Hongyi cannon. It is relatively stable now."
"Wang Aiqing, I have finally waited for you!"
Chongzhen looked at the foot-long model he took out of the box, his eyes full of smiles. Only with the field artillery carriage can the true power of the Hongyi cannon be unleashed.
This time in the northern expedition to build slaves, the casualties will be smaller.
"Wang Aiqing, how long does it take to build a three-wheeled field artillery vehicle?"
