Chapter 585: Fighting with strong horses and strong soldiers!

Zhang Haogu fell silent.

Yes, the worst impact of Huang Taiji proclaiming himself emperor would be to force Ming Dynasty to take action in advance.

Otherwise, not to mention the surrounding small countries, the disloyal people in the court, and the scholars who are jumping around outside the court, they will definitely think that the court is broken!

Then the Ming Dynasty was really in trouble!

Don't think that there are many smart people in the world. The most numerous people in the world are just idiots who look smart but are actually stupid!

Today Huang Taiji said that the Ming Dynasty was unruly and that the orthodoxy of the Central Plains was in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. He called on the people of the world to go to Shengjing. As long as the court did not take action, the so-called smart people in the world would have to start thinking: Is the Ming Dynasty really going to die?

Could it be that my Central Plains orthodoxy really lies in the Manchu Qing Dynasty?

If they really went to the Northeast, it would be easy to say that they would be the Manchus who brought disaster to Huang Taiji.

But if they think that the Ming Dynasty is nothing more than this, and they dare not deal with even a single foreign barbarian, then can we also enjoy the pleasure of proclaiming ourselves an emperor and establishing a country, and then proclaim ourselves the emperor within the Ming Dynasty? Then the chaos will be really big!

Moreover, Zhang Haogu believes that there is definitely more than one such smart person!

Therefore, it is most important to show the court’s attitude at present!

But how to attack Huang Taiji?

Relying on the so-called Guan and Liao cavalry?

Are you kidding me? Can they be trusted?

Zhu Youxiao really doesn't care so much now. He must show the world and the world the attitude of the court and the attitude of his emperor.

"Pass my message to Master Sun and ask him to immediately send out troops to conquer the traitor Huang Taiji who dares to arrogantly proclaim himself emperor!"

Upon hearing that Zhu Youxiao asked Sun Chengzong to send troops, Zhang Haogu quickly said: "Your Majesty, the Liaodong soldiers lack food, pay and armaments, and their morale is disorganized. They cannot be used."

Zhu Youxiao sighed: "Besides Liaodong, what other troops can I use?"

This made Zhang Haogu helpless. Now that the Ming Dynasty has soldiers, there is really no shortage of them.

But when it comes to usable soldiers, the Ming Dynasty is in short supply.

Originally there were only 30,000 new troops, but Yuan Chonghuan took 20,000 to Gansu and Shaanxi to control the three sides.

The remaining 10,000 are now divided into two parts, with 5,000 each from the northern and southern capitals to reorganize the three battalions and restore their combat strength.

As for the remaining new troops, there are only 20,000 people in the four towns in southern Liaoning.

However, the four towns in southern Liaoning are led by infantry, and there is no shortage of firearms. However, field battles cannot rely entirely on firearms. Southern Liaoning lacks cavalry.

Currently the only ones that can be used are the so-called Guan-Liao Iron Cavalry from Liaodong, but can they really be used?

Zhang Haogu expressed doubts.

But now, it seems that they can only be used.

After returning to the cabinet, Zhang Ruitu, Lu Xiangsheng, Qiao Yunsheng, Huang Liji, and Wei Guangwei came over to inquire about the situation. Zhang Haogu did not hide anything: "The emperor was furious when he learned that Huang Taiji had arrogated the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. He had already ordered Governor Sun to lead Liaodong.

The soldiers and horses went to conquer Huang Taiji."

Neither Huang Liji nor Wei Guangwei knew how to fight, but Lu Xiangsheng still understood. After all, he was one of the last ruthless men in the Ming Dynasty.

Lu Xiangsheng, who was stroking his beard, frowned and said: "Liaodong is different from southern Liaoning. The general soldiers in Liaodong are embezzling food and pay one by one. The soldiers and horses in Liaodong are short of food and clothing, and there is insufficient food and pay. How can we expect the soldiers to work hard?"

"I'm afraid it won't work if Governor Sun leads the Liaodong troops to go on an expedition."

Zhang Haogu nodded, he thought so too, but at present, we can only hope that the warlords in Liaodong still have some conscience and know how to pay some money and food to their soldiers, otherwise, the Liaodong Army will be defeated!

Sun Chengzong, who received the imperial edict, also sighed. Doesn't he still know whether the Liaodong Army can be used?

Those warlords who only know how to eat empty pay and drink the blood of their soldiers are too lazy to train their soldiers and horses. How long has it been since their soldiers have seen military pay and food?

All the money and food allocated to them by the imperial court every year were completely misappropriated by these warlord generals, leaving only a little bit for their soldiers to barely prevent their soldiers from starving to death.

But can such soldiers and horses, who lack food, clothing, and training, be able to fight a war?

Defending the city can still rely on the general cannon to kill the enemy, and when going out of the city to fight in the field, it takes two or three thousand kilograms of general cannon. Not to mention the difficulty of maneuvering, these people can pull the cannon and dig trenches and lay barbed wire according to the standards of the new army.

, trap a horse in a trap to lay out regular field tactics?

They don't have the ability, right?

They can't even fight a tough battle even if they maintain a stronghold!

But with this holy decree, it was worthwhile for Sun Chengzong to order Zu Dashou to lead his troops to attack.

Zu Dashou had nothing to worry about. On the contrary, he was full of confidence: since those mud-legged people in southern Liaoning could defeat Huang Taiji's tens of thousands of cavalry with barbed wire and general cannons, Zu Dashou could defeat Huang Taiji's tens of thousands of cavalry with the help of Guan Liao cavalry, barbed wire and general cannons.

A victory is not a problem!

Our Guan Liao cavalry is now the strongest elite cavalry in the Ming Dynasty. With the barbed wire fence and the general cannon, I am afraid that I will not be able to defeat Huang Taiji?!

If he couldn't beat him, my ancestor Dashou would eat the barbed wire as noodles on the spot!

Zu Dashou, who was full of expectations of a great victory and returned to be a marquis and a general, led his troops to dispatch from Guangningwei. And the moment they dispatched troops, Huang Taiji had already received the news!

In Shenyang Palace in Shengjing today, Huang Taiji, who is wearing a dragon robe, is holding a meeting: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was afraid. He was afraid that I would prove the destiny and let the world see the weakness of the Ming Dynasty, so he asked the general of Guangning to live a long life."

The army is coming to attack our Qing Dynasty!"

Daishan, Dorgon, Hauge, and now the three new bele are all looking at Huang Taiji. Although Huang Taiji has lost tens of thousands of people, he still holds the power, and he has regained his power by proclaiming himself an emperor and establishing a country, and enfeoffing various nobles.

Having firmly grasped the power, Daishan now leads the two red flags, and Huang Taiji leads the two yellow flags. Dorgon's two white flags also support him. In addition, by letting his son Hauge lead the two blue flags, Huang Taiji now holds the Eight Banners Soldiers.

Horse, but ambitious, just waiting to show his ambition.

"Now that Zu Dashou's troops are coming with great force, we cannot be trapped. We, the Manchus, are good at riding and shooting. We should give full play to our advantages and eat Zu Dashou's soldiers and horses in motion!"

Dorgon asked: "Brother Emperor, what should we do if Zu Dashou imitates those people in southern Liaoning to dig trenches and pull barbed wire?"

Dorgon's words made Huang Taiji's face twitch, but Huang Taiji also knew that Dorgon's problem was not just his own, Daishan was probably thinking about this issue as well.

In order to reassure them, Huang Taiji laughed deliberately: "Have you forgotten who Zu Dashou is?"

"The soldiers and horses he leads don't have that ability!"

"I just need to lead my elite troops to move quickly and attack them directly when they haven't set up camp. Are you afraid that I won't be able to deal with them?"

"We, the Manchurian cavalry, are invincible in the world!"

After listening to Huang Taiji's words, Dorgon and Daishan were relieved. Indeed, our Qing cavalry is invincible in the world. There are less than ten thousand people in Manchuria, but ten thousand people are invincible!

Nowadays, can anyone really defeat tens of thousands of Manchu cavalry in a field battle?

Really?
