Chapter eight hundred and seventy-fifth Zier Harang's confusion

When Jiergalang led the army from Chenyang, he was still a little depressed. It was because of Daishan's self-esteem. He led the Inlaid Blue Flag to fight against the army's morale. In fact, the army rushed to Xuanzhou to deal with the soldiers of Jiangning Camp stationed in Xuanzhou. This was a regular combat mission. The soldiers of the Inlaid Blue Flag set off from Chenyang, passed through Liaoyang, Tianshui Station, and went straight to Xiuyan. The Jiangning Camp, which wanted to station in Xuanzhou, launched an attack and undertake the main combat mission. Daishan, who set out from Pyongyang, led the soldiers of Zhenghongqi to attack Jiangning Camp through the direction of Sumeru Island, and attacked Jiangning Camp in Xuanzhou from the side. This was a task determined by Huang Taiji. Judging from the current situation, there were only 20,000 soldiers in Jiangning Camp stationed in Xuanzhou, and a 40,000 army was used to deal with 20,000 people. It was a sure victory.

Jiergalang always puts the overall situation first, and because of his special status, Jiergalang takes into account the overall situation and would rather suffer some things. Daishan was one of the four major belles in the past, and was the elder brother of Huang Taiji. When the Qing Dynasty was founded in the first year of Chongde, it was also named the first prince. Jiergalang would not argue with Daishan. Anyway, the main task of the army was to defeat the Jiangning Camp stationed in Xuanzhou. If possible, more vitality will be wiped out, but the difficulties are also great. The key is that the Jiangning Camp's naval army is powerful. The Qing Dynasty has no naval army. Once the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp flee to the sea, they will have no choice.

Huang Taiji sent Fan Wencheng to follow the army, which made Jirgalang even more annoyed.

Jirgalang saw everything that happened in the court for a long time in Shenyang. He knew Fan Wencheng's thoughts and knew that Fan Wencheng was devoted to the Qing Dynasty. However, some of Fan Wencheng's concepts and practices were different from those of the Manchus. Manchus valued family affection. Although Huang Taiji was the emperor, at some times, Daishan, Dorgon and others were relatively casual in front of Huang Taiji. They dared to say anything when they thought of it. No matter what different understandings they had, everyone was for the Qing Dynasty and for the Qing Dynasty to defeat the Ming Dynasty and enter the Central Plains. It was precisely because of this atmosphere that the Qing Dynasty developed rapidly.

Of course, Jirgalang also understood that if someone's actions threatened Huang Taiji's authority or even threatened the imperial power, Huang Taiji would not be polite. There are many examples above, including his father and brother, who were all falling into such matters. Jirgalang was very careful in this regard and worked hard to maintain Huang Taiji's prestige. No matter what he did, he could not touch the imperial power. It was precisely because of such efforts that Jirgalang received the attention of Huang Taiji.

However, in the past two years, Huang Taiji's mind has changed slightly, and may have been influenced by Fan Wencheng. Although Huang Taiji and Manchu people seem to be close, everyone has the opportunity to have a meal together, drink together, and discuss the major decisions of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji began to slowly pay attention to the cultivation of his children and gradually began to establish the power of Haoge, Ye Bushu and others. This is probably a preparatory plan. He made preparations for the next emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji's prestige was still unshakable. Some Manchu and powerful people may have some complaints because of their own interests. Huang Taiji was also trying to maintain balance. On the one hand, he tried to improve the status of the Han people and restrict the Manchu people's power, and on the other hand, he was also paying attention to Manchu people. In fact, the important ministers in the court, the ministers holding actual power were basically Manchu people. Although Fan Wencheng was highly trusted by Huang Taiji, his power in the court was still limited, and he mainly had an impact on Huang Taiji in decision-making.

It was not easy for the Qing Dynasty to have such a situation. After many efforts, Nurhaci and Huang Taiji, one generation after another, were working tirelessly. Compared with the Han people, there were very few Manchus and the number of people was insignificant. If Manchus could not unite unprecedentedly, it would not be possible to compete with the huge Han people.

After years of observation, Jiergalang also noticed that although there are many Han people, they are basically a mess, all for their own interests. Huang Taiji once summarized that in terms of personal qualities, Han people are obviously stronger, well-educated and knowledgeable, but the Han people are not united, they are all for their own interests. The things they do are even more unsatisfactory. For their own interests, they can discard the interests of the country. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty is already shaky, the Han people in the court still consider themselves, and they never thought about what they should do if the Ming Dynasty perishes. Perhaps some people, like Fan Wencheng, can surrender to the Qing Dynasty, as long as they can preserve their own glory and wealth.

Huang Taiji had long mastered this characteristic of the Han people. Over the years, Huang Taiji used Fan Wencheng to repeatedly alienate the relationship between the Han people, allowing some Han people to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, including Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, to win over the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, Huang Taiji was very concerned about the Han people who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The reason for this attitude was to enable more Han people to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

To be honest, Jiergalang learned a lot of things with Huang Taiji.

At least this time, Jiergalang would pay special attention to the battle. No matter what, Fan Wencheng is still capable. Moreover, Fan Wencheng has the intelligence network of the Qing Dynasty and can analyze many situations based on the intelligence. Last time he won a huge victory in Liaodong, and intelligence played a great role.

Among the Manchus, no one is willing to specialize in intelligence work, and it is not suitable to do such things. Many Manchus think of fighting on the battlefield and killing enemies face to face. Besides, doing intelligence work requires sitting and spending a lot of brain power. This is probably not the specialty of those Manchus.

The army arrived in Liaoyang and settled outside Liaoyang City, Jirgalang and Duoduo entered Liaoyang.

The officials in Liaoyang had already arranged the mansion, but the two would not move in. They were with their own troops. The next day, they would march in different directions, Duoduo headed to Haizhou and Jiergalang headed to Tianshui Station.

When I entered the restaurant, Duoduo spoke as soon as he sat down.

"Prince Zheng, why didn't you invite Lord Fan to come?"

Jiergalang was a little surprised. He did not have such awareness at all. Fan Wencheng was the Han minister who Huang Taiji trusted the most. In the future battles, Jiergalang would unconsciously avoid it. As for some of the opinions and suggestions put forward by Fan Wencheng, he would clarify whether it would be adopted based on the actual situation. The Han ministers that Huang Taiji believed in should not be too close to him, otherwise what would Huang Taiji think? Jiergalang had long noticed these situations in Shenyang for a long time.

Jirgalang has always been very cautious, and has an average relationship with many Manchu and powerful people. He never engages in gangs. When facing Daishan, Dorgon, Dodo, Ajige and others, he pays special attention. Dodo suddenly said such words, and he didn't know what it meant.

"Prince Yu was joking. Lord Fan was very busy. He kept analyzing information all the way. In order for the army to successfully conquer, Lord Fan was forgetting to eat and sleep. I was much more relaxed. I could have dinner and drink with Prince Yu. If I had the chance, I would also like to ask Lord Fan to give advice to Prince Yu."

Duoduo had a smile on his face.

"I have already felt that Xuanzhou is the focus of the emperor's attention. Prince Zheng and Prince Li jointly attacked Xuanzhou. The Jiangning Camp soldiers stationed in Xuanzhou were only 20,000. How could they resist my 40,000 army? My attack on Fuzhou is the main task to stabilize the Jiangning Camp soldiers in Fuzhou, so that they cannot reinforce Xuanzhou. Once Prince Zheng and Prince Li win, three armies will attack the Jiangning Camp soldiers stationed in Fuzhou, making them unable to gain a foothold."

Jiergalang nodded. He also noticed Huang Taiji's arrangement. This may be the reason why Huang Taiji asked Fan Wencheng to follow him to Xuanzhou. It is very likely that Fan Wencheng would also talk about these things the next day.

"Prince Yu said, this conquest, you and I have both missions from both sides. The emperor has always emphasized that the Jiangning Camp is the biggest opponent of my Qing Dynasty. This time you and I have to face the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp directly, but we still cannot be neglected. If we can win a complete victory, that's great. If we cannot win a complete victory, at least we need to drive them away."

When Jirgalang said this, Duoduo also sighed deeply.

"Prince Zheng, I'm going to tell you that during this period of time in the capital, I have seen a lot of experience. I used to be stationed in North Korea, and I thought about the things over there, and I don't need to worry about so many things. The situation is different now. Just say that if the Jiangning Camp cannot destroy the vitality of the Jiangning Camp, they are stationed in Dengzhou, how can the emperor be peaceful? They can fight across the sea at all times, and the coverage is wide, making it difficult for me to defend the national defense of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, I think that the emperor's request this time is to destroy the vitality of the Jiangning Camp, otherwise he would not have sent a hundred thousand troops."

Jirgalang looked at Dodo, but did not continue to talk about the conquest, and changed the subject. He didn't know why Dodo understood so many things and thought of so far away things. This is a rare situation. It would be nothing special if Dorgon thought of these. After all, Dorgon's knowledge was far stronger than Dodo.
