Huang Taiji's vomiting of blood immediately frightened everyone in Chongzheng Hall.
After being stunned for a moment, some of the chambermaids and guards quickly knelt down and knocked their heads to the ground; some panicked and shouted "royal doctor, imperial doctor"; others rushed towards Huang Taiji, wanting to go Help him or something, in short, it's a mess.
However, after Huang Taiji spit out a mouthful of blood, he felt a little better. But when he saw the chaos in the palace, he suddenly became alive again and shouted sternly: "I'm not dead yet, why are you panicking?"
After hearing his words, everyone knelt down on the ground in unison, and their movements were quite orderly.
Huang Taiji ignored them, but stared at the mouthful of old blood spat on the ground, his expression slowly becoming a little ferocious: This is my blood, how can I spit it out in vain!
He probably had a decision in his mind, but he still summoned the ministers to discuss the matter.
As soon as Daishan's report was announced, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't expect that what they thought was an easy battle would turn out to be so unexpected.
Then Lushun is not a fortified city like Jinzhou, so why is it so difficult to conquer? What's even more outrageous is the naval battle. No, they didn't even fight a naval battle, they just collapsed. This kind of situation had only happened to the Ming army before, but now, why did it happen to the Qing Dynasty?
Hearing the news, both Dorgon and other Jianlu prisoners, as well as Fan Wencheng and the traitor, were all shocked!
Looking at their faces, Huang Taiji asked solemnly: "Should we fight in Lushun?"
"Your Majesty, the cost of attacking Lushun again will be very high." After Dorgon regained his composure, he immediately reported to Huang Taiji, "But we must not let the Ming army gain a foothold in Liaodong. I think that no matter how much the Qing Dynasty pays, The price must be paid! As long as you are well prepared, it is just a small city, and you can definitely defeat it!"
He should be regarded as the representative of the Manchu people in the palace, and no one else objected. In addition to the reasons stated by Dorgon, they also felt that it was too shameful for the Qing Dynasty to be beaten to the doorstep by the Ming Dynasty and had no choice but to do anything!
After hearing this, Huang Taiji looked towards Han Chen again. Although he didn't say anything, the little eyes on his fat face seemed to be asking them to express their opinions.
After seeing Ning Wan, I glanced at Dorgon and also agreed: "I think that Prince He Shuorui's words are reasonable. How can the power of our Qing army be damaged? We must let the Ming army stain our Qing flag with blood." , Only in this way can we boost the morale of the Qing Dynasty and deter the Ming Dynasty from coming again!"
Others had the same idea, and felt that Lushun must be captured!
But in this one-sided discussion, Fan Wencheng was the last to speak, but his views were different. He told Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, I think it doesn't matter whether Lushun is in the hands of the Qing Dynasty."
His words immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.
"How do you say that?" Huang Taiji asked with a cold face.
Dorgon turned to look at him and followed up: "Are you afraid that the Qing Dynasty will lose another battle? I have already said that you should be fully prepared. If you don't believe it, you won't be able to defeat it! I can make a decision Military order!"
After hearing this, Fan Wencheng shook his head, then looked at Huang Taiji, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I believe that as long as the Qing Dynasty is determined to capture Little Lushun, it will definitely be able to capture it. However, What can the Qing Dynasty do now that they capture Lushun? Not to mention the huge naval force of the Ming Dynasty, they also captured the navy warships of the Qing Dynasty, more than 300 ships! The Ming army is entrenched on the island, transporting troops to invade the Qing Dynasty. On the coast, what difference does it make if there is or not Lushun?"
At first, some people were shocked and unconvinced by his words, but after hearing what he said, they all fell silent.
They had to admit that the key now was that the Ming army had a huge navy. The coastline of Liaodong is very long and there are many islands. The Qing Dynasty has no choice but to be attacked by the Ming army, but it will be invaded by the Ming army. It is impossible to prevent it!
Among them, Dorgon is more worried than others. Because he fought against the Ming army commander Lu Xiangsheng. Knowing that this man is quite powerful and has a tenacious will to fight, if he personally leads the Dongjiang Army, the situation that the Qing Dynasty will face will be far more serious than during Mao Wenlong's period!
However, the only way to solve this dilemma is to regain control of the sea and defeat the Ming Navy. However, this goal seems to be even more elusive than taking over the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Among other things, the Qing Dynasty did not even have the most basic ability to build warships, let alone train sailors.
If the North Korean Navy had not been mobilized before, maybe the North Korean Navy could be forcibly mobilized, and after training, they could fight with the Ming Navy.
However, the navy of the Ming Dynasty pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger from the beginning. Inadvertently, it sent all the Korean warships into the tiger's mouth, giving the Ming Dynasty an advantage in vain. Nowadays, the Qing Dynasty has nothing to do at sea!
Huang Taiji had already thought of this situation that Dorgon thought of. The same is true. He knew that the Qing Dynasty couldn't do anything, so he was so angry that he vomited blood. The situation that was originally good suddenly took a turn for the worse and became very passive.
In fact, Huang Taiji also thought of something else, which was to use the same method to deal with Mao Wenlong, to place spies in Mao Wenlong's army and bribe and win over the lieutenant general of Mao Wenlong's army. No matter how bad it is, you can also use the conflicts among Ming officials to achieve the goal of destroying Dongjiang Town.
However, all these methods are useless now.
First of all, today's Dongjiang Town was personally led by Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Baoding in the Ming Dynasty. With him in charge, those strategies that cannot be put on the table will basically be useless.
Secondly, from the fact that the Ming Emperor was able to mobilize the navy from the south to help out, we can see how much support and trust the Ming Emperor had for Lu Xiangsheng. Therefore, attempts to sow discord will not work.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Dorgon saying to Huang Taiji angrily: "Your Majesty, it's all because of the Koreans that the Qing Dynasty is so passive. Flee without a fight and throw all the warships to it." Ming Dynasty Navy, according to what Shang Kexi said, it is basically certain that the North Koreans did this on purpose!"
When he said this, his voice became louder again, and he said in an even more angry tone: "Your Majesty, the monarchs and ministers of North Korea usually treat me in the Qing Dynasty in both positive and negative ways. It's just one thing. I don't use my Qing Dynasty title, but in the Qing Dynasty." This is evident by continuing to use the Ming Dynasty title. In this naval battle, the navy commander Park Zhenyu definitely did not have the courage to do so privately. Maybe there is someone behind him who was ordered to do it!"
Huang Taiji didn't speak immediately, just frowned and listened.
"Therefore, my younger brother suggested that we, the Qing Dynasty, should send troops to the DPRK again to strictly supervise the North Korean leader. In addition, we should directly take over the North Korean shipyard and let the Qing Dynasty take charge of it to rebuild the navy." Dorgon said here, He said solemnly, "Only the Qing Dynasty has naval forces. Even if it cannot defeat the Ming army, it can still make the Ming army have some scruples at sea and not dare to act arbitrarily!"
Huang Taiji didn't respond until Dorgon said he would directly take over the North Korean shipyard, and then he saw his eyebrows move. Just now, he had made up his mind to make North Korea pay the price. Dorgon's suggestion gave him one more reason.
Therefore, after Dorgon finished speaking, Huang Taiji nodded and approved his proposal.
What others didn't expect was that Fan Wencheng reported to Huang Taiji at this time: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty suddenly crossed the sea and occupied Lushun. Its purpose was nothing more than to make the Qing Dynasty vulnerable to enemies on both sides. Before the Qing Dynasty regained control of the water, Before the division, the slave thought that it was better to follow the example of Xian Khan, withdraw troops and people along the coast, and isolate them in no-man's land. In this way, if the Lushun Ming Army wants to attack our Qing towns, they must go deep into the hinterland of Liaodong, or at least leave the coast. A day's journey. In this way, our Qing Dynasty can deploy heavy troops in various important places. Once the alarm is heard, the cavalry will be dispatched immediately. In this way, nine times out of ten, we can intercept the Ming army before they escape back to the ship. Destroy them!"
"That's right, that's right!" Huang Taiji couldn't help feeling relieved after hearing this. He nodded and said, "Although the Qing Dynasty also suffered a lot of losses by doing this, it is also the only way to deal with the Ming army now. As long as the Ming army that dares to go ashore is eliminated a few more times, the Ming army will definitely not dare to go ashore again. And if the Qing Dynasty is given time, after North Korea rebuilds its ships, it will then clear out the Ming Dynasty island by island. military!"
After hearing this, other people in the Chongzheng Hall agreed and praised the emperor for his sage!
Huang Taiji relaxed for a while, and soon his face became gloomy again, and he continued: "The Ming Dynasty wants me to fight on both sides with the Qing Dynasty. This is unthinkable. This time, Zu Dashou actually dared to cooperate with the Ming army in Lushun." , It is really a two-sided attack on the Qing Dynasty. If I don’t give you some clues, I will make further progress in the future. This time, I will defeat the Ming army in Ningjin, so I will stay in Ningjin obediently and never dare to go out again. Their turtle shells!”
When everyone heard this, they were a little surprised. Because before, Huang Taiji had sent Jierhalang to lead the army to teach Zu Dashou a lesson. However, listening to Huang Taiji's words at this time, it seems that just teaching Zu Dashou a lesson is not enough. But he wanted Ning Jin's Ming army to never dare to leave the city again.
Just as they were thinking this, they heard Huang Taiji call Dorgon's name and give him an order: "You lead the troops of the Baiqi headquarters and rush to help immediately. While the ancestral family is in Tashan, I will destroy the ancestral family. !”
He has always been trying to win over the Zu Family Army. After so many years, he actually saw clearly that Zu Dashou preferred to be sandwiched between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty as an independent entity. Of course, at the same time, he also hedged his bets. Whether it was the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, there were people from the ancestral family.
Regarding this situation, if it were the former Huang Taiji, he would increase his efforts to win over, hoping that one day, the ancestral army would surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
However, now that the Qing Dynasty is about to fall into trouble, life will be more difficult. Even if the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf ancestor lives his birthday, even if he still wants to ride on the wall, he will definitely make the Qing Dynasty pay a greater price. Maybe even seeing the Qing Dynasty in trouble, they might add insult to injury.
This kind of thing must never happen!
Thinking like this, just like what he said, this time, he is going to use the ancestral family army to establish its power and destroy the ancestral family!
Dorgon heard this and immediately took the order to go to war.
Zu Dashou still knew nothing about this matter. At this time, he had already led his three thousand men out of Tashan and headed for Haizhou.
Of course, he knew that Jianlu was not easy to mess with, so Ye Busuang was sent far away. He would rather go a little slower and let Ye Busuo check the safety of the road ahead before setting off.
The distance from Tashan to Haizhou is not that short. All in all, Zu Dashou was a bit adventurous.
However, there were many guard posts and border forts on the original road from Tashan to Haizhou. However, with the rise of Jianlu and the raging war, the Ming army and people in these places were either massacred by Jianlu or fled to the line from Ningjin to Shanhaiguan. Therefore, this road is mostly deserted.
If Zu Dashou was just wandering around these places, there would be nothing to say at all. Only if he has been to Haizhou for a while can he have something to say.
Look, my ancestor Dashou went to Haizhou to support the Ming army in Lushun. There has never been anything like this before. It can be seen that my ancestor Dashou is sincerely serving the imperial court this time!
Based on this idea, Zu Dashou kept walking. After walking for half a month, he was still more than a hundred miles away from Haizhou.
At this time, there were no reports coming at night, saying that they had encountered Jianlu on a prowl. Maybe he had been to Haizhou the night before, so he met a lot of Jianlu and Tanma this time.
This was within Zu Dashou's expectation, so he was not surprised and made corresponding arrangements.
Early the next morning, Zu Dashou ordered two thousand infantry troops to prepare to retreat, while he personally led a thousand cavalry troops and began to speed up towards Haizhou, preparing to sweep all the Jianlu Tanma encountered on the road, and go He made a show at the gate of Haizhou City, leaving a message saying "I'm here for a visit", and then quickly withdrew.
In his opinion, Jianlu would never have expected such a drama, so he was basically certain that by the time Jianlu reacted, he would have already gone home.
The next day was cloudy, which was really good weather for marching.
On the infantry side, Zu Dashou let his younger brother Zu Dacheng take command, while he himself led a thousand cavalry troops away.
Just as he expected, a thousand cavalry troops just rolled over them. The Jianlu Tanma encountered on the road could not resist them at all and fled one after another.
Just like this, they chased Jianlu Tanma all the way to the Haizhou area.
There were many Han people working in the fields near the official road. When they saw a Ming army suddenly appear, they were all surprised and stunned. The overseers who were guarding them fled in all directions.
Seeing this situation, Zu Dashou ordered to stop advancing, rest immediately and prepare to return. Of course, if you don't collect at night, you still have to be sent out.
After a long time, the Han people came to their senses. All of them were overjoyed and rushed towards the Ming army. Even if they had a bad impression of the Ming Army before, seeing the Ming Army appear at this moment makes them feel particularly friendly.
