Chongzhen Chat Group

Chapter 614 Foresight

Therefore, it was all the Jianlu who robbed Guan Ningming's army of grain, but Guan Ningming's army did not take the initiative to rob the Jianlu's grain. This is why Guan Ningming's army harvested food in advance, and only the food near the city will remain. Because when Jianlu came to attack, he had the warning time, which was enough to plunder the grain around the city.

In the past, the Dongjiang Ming army was so hungry that they had no choice but to snatch the food of the captives, but they often suffered severe injuries.

Taking these two situations into account, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt that Lu Xiangsheng's battle plan needed to be changed. After thinking for a while, he privately chatted with Jinyiwei commander Liu Xingzuo and asked about the situation in Liaodong in detail.

Later, Emperor Chongzhen also chatted with Wei Mulan privately and asked her to tell Lu Xiangsheng to collect as much as possible the distribution of grain fields in Liaodong. Not only that, he also privately chatted with all the people in the chat group who knew something about Liaodong. Of course, he also asked some people in real life, such as Zu Dashou.

By the evening of the next day, the most detailed map of the distribution of grain fields in Liaodong during this period was placed in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

On this map, most places indicate that the strength of the troops is unknown, or approximately how many men and horses there are. Only a few places have a clear number of garrison troops.

After Emperor Chongzhen looked at the map for a long time, he took a photo and entered it into the chat group, giving permission to Liu Wang, Gao Yingyuan and Wei Mulan. At this time, he suddenly discovered helplessly that neither Liu Wang nor Gao Yingyuan could draw. There is no way that like Wei Mulan, he can copy the map as it is and put it in front of Sun Chengzong.

Fortunately, this is not a drawing competition and the requirements are not particularly demanding. He asked Gao Yingyuan and Liu Wang to draw the gourd in the same way, and drew two copies for Sun Chengzong to refer to.

It only took less than an hour for the map in the hands of Emperor Chongzhen in the capital to appear in front of Sun Chengzong in Ningyuan and in front of Lu Xiangsheng in Lushun.

In the temporary group of Gao Yingyuan, Liu Wangshi and Wei Mulan, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "I have thought about it, and since I want to do it, I have to do it in a big way. I have decided to launch an attack on Jianlu!"

"Your Majesty, do you want to steal more food from the Jianlu people?" Wei Mulan spoke quickly, obviously asking on Lu Xiangsheng's behalf.

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help feeling a little emotional after hearing this. Even an outstanding commander like Lu Xiangsheng didn't react for a moment and couldn't understand his intentions.

Thinking like this, he explained in detail: "Writing a war is actually about logistics. From another perspective, it is also about comprehensive national strength. As far as our Ming and Jianlu are concerned, the comprehensive national strength of our Ming is far better than that of Jianlu. This is our Ming Dynasty's advantage. If it can be reflected on the battlefield in Liaodong, we can defeat the Jianlu more quickly."

After he finished saying this, no one in the group spoke. Apparently after relaying it, neither Sun Chengzong nor Lu Xiangsheng spoke, but just listened.

"If Ming Dynasty goes to rob Jianlu's food, although we can get some supplies, how much can we rob? As far as the current combat power of the enemy and ourselves in Liaodong is concerned, it is undeniable that Jianlu still has an advantage. If Jianlu reacts, , is there still a chance to grab food?"

After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Wei Mulan finally spoke: "Your Majesty's intention is not to seize food, but to seize time, and try to destroy the grain fields before Jianlu can react?"

Obviously, this matter was what Lu Xiangsheng wanted to mention. After hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, he was the first to react and finally understood what Emperor Chongzhen meant.

Emperor Chongzhen was finally a little relieved and immediately affirmed: "Yes, that's what I mean. Just grabbing those grains is just a drop in the bucket for my Ming Dynasty. Although it is regrettable to miss this part, it is not fatal. And if I, the Ming Dynasty, Destroying as much of Jianlu's grain harvest as possible will be fatal to Jianlu during this Little Ice Age. Coupled with the upcoming Korean War and so on, Jianlu's national strength will definitely be weakened again!"

"Your Majesty, it is your good opinion that the struggle between countries does not necessarily only involve swords and guns on the battlefield!" Sun Chengzong, the representative of the Liu family, bubbled.

When Wei Mulan saw it, she also said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Emperor Chongzhen didn't know that this sentence was actually said by Wei Mulan herself. When she was sending messages back and forth, she clearly felt that Emperor Chongzhen was more far-sighted and seemed to have a higher level of vision than Lu Zhongcheng, so she said it sincerely and was not trying to flatter him.

Emperor Chongzhen was naturally a little proud, and he immediately continued: "Now that we have reached an agreement, let's figure out how the Hussars Battalion and Guan Ning Cavalry should act, what route they should take, and what means of destruction they should use. Only in this way can we achieve the strategic goal of destroying as many Jianlu grain fields as possible! Remember, this war is not about killing the enemy, but destroying grain fields!"

For these, frontline generals need to consider. Emperor Chongzhen has already said everything that needs to be said. It is impossible to cover everything in every detail.

At the same time, far away in the Shenyang Palace in Liaodong, the Manchu Qing Emperor Huang Taiji was also holding an imperial meeting. From the slight smile on his fat face, you could tell that he was in a good mood.

I saw him nodding to Dorgon who had just finished his report and retreated to his position, then glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "I am very pleased that all the banners are working hard. The population that has been plundered now is enough to make up for the loss of our Manchu tribe earlier." The population loss is even slightly exceeded. As long as after a period of assimilation, the strength of our Qing Dynasty can be restored to its previous state or even further."

In some respects, although there were overt and covert fights within the Jianlu, even to the point of life and death, when the Jianlu faced a crisis, they were able to work together to overcome the difficulties. This was something that the officials of the late Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty could not do.

Therefore, when the Manchurian population suffered a large loss, all the banners realized the crisis, so they tried their best in the war to plunder the real girls in the north, and the harvest became abundant.

After the comprehensive praise, Huang Taiji turned to look at Jierhalang and said: "As for the Mongolian tribes, since the strong suppression of the Aohan tribe, the Eight Mongolian Banners have been successfully established. Now, in addition to the original Eight Banners, I have cleared out the With the addition of the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the Eight Banners of the Mongolia, the number of armies will be greater than ever before. As long as it is tempered by war, the elite of our Qing Dynasty will reach its peak. By then, when we conquer the Ming Dynasty, we will not need to mobilize the whole country. Got it!"

This means that even if there is a thorn in the back of the Dongjiang Ming Army, with enough troops, there is no need to worry about the stabbing causing the Qing Dynasty to vomit blood.

When Huang Taiji said this, he seemed a little proud. He smiled slightly, and the small eyes on his fat face narrowed into slits and said: "Now, you should understand my painstaking efforts and why I have to give favors to the Han slaves, right?"
