"Yuan Chonghuan sent someone to discuss peace again?" Huang Taiji shook the letter in his hand, and the person was already smiling angrily. The original anger on Fang Zheng's big face had decreased a lot.

The people around him did not laugh. They started their troops on May 6 and crossed the Xiaoling River. The army was originally supposed to go south from Guangning, but now the Thirteen Mountains to Guangning line is controlled by Hutchison. The Later Jin, which is less than 60,000 people, can only take a detour, which is very unfavorable for the war.

The forward fight is not good either...

On the ninth day of the fifth month of the seventh year of the Tianqi period, Huang Taiji led his troops to the old border of Guangning and ordered Beledegele, Jiergalang, Ajige, Yuetuo, Sahalian and Haoge to lead the elite cavalry of the guards as the front team, and the siege generals led the Mianjia Army and others to carry cloud ladders, shields and other equipment to the back team. Huang Taiji personally led the army to the center with the Great Beile Daishan, the Second Beile Amin, and the Third Beile Mangurtai.

The Eight Banners were divided into three teams, walking in sequence.

When the Later Jin army marched, it was divided into three front, middle and back teams; when the battle was carried out, it was listed as three left, middle and right.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, Huang Taiji arrived in the southwest of Guangning, looking at the Thirteen Mountains without saying a word.

Later, the soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty captured the Ming army's mailbasses. After interrogation, they learned that the Right Tun Guard was defending with 100 people. Although the construction of Xiaolinghe and Dalinghe had not been completed, they were also stationed.

The renovation of Jinzhou City has been completed, with 30,000 horses and infantrymen.

Huang Taiji ordered to march at night, easily take the Youtun Weicheng and head straight for Dalinghe City.

On May 11, the Later Jin army adjusted from the front, middle and back three teams in the vertical direction to the left, middle and right three routes in the horizontal direction - Huang Taiji led the two yellow flags and two white flags into the middle and went straight to Dalinghe City; Da Beile Daishan, Er Beile Amin, Beile Shuotuo and general officers, Gushan Ezhen and others led the two red flags and the blue flags into the right wing and went straight to Jinzhou City; San Beile Mangurtai led the soldiers of Zhenglan flag to the left wing and took the Right Guard.

The Huang Taiji army approached Dalinghe City. At that time, the city had not been built yet, and the defenders retreated to Jinzhou. The left-wing Mangguertai army approached Youtunwei. At that time, the city had not been built yet, and the defenders fled and rushed to Jinzhou. The Later Jin army easily obtained the Dalinghe River. After the two cities of Youtunwei, three armies met in Jinzhou, one mile away from the city and camped on all sides.

At this time when the war began, Yuan Chonghuan began to transfer troops from Jizhen, Xuanfu, Datong and other places to go out to meet the enemy.

After the fierce battle in Jinzhou, the Jin army advanced outside the city of Jinzhou, camped troops from all sides, and surrounded Jinzhou City closely. At that time, the eunuch Ji Yong of Ming Dynasty, General Zhao led the sect to Jinzhou, responsible for building the city and defending the city. When the Later Jin army was about to arrive, Zuo Fu and others retreated into Jinzhou, defended the city with the city, prepared to resist. The small forts along the border also withdrew troops, merged with the big city, strengthened the walls and cleared the fields, and worked together to defend the enemy.

On May 12, Ji Yong and Zhao led the sect to the camp of the Later Jin army to discuss peace. This was of course a delaying plan. While proposing peace talks, the Ming army invaded the Later Jin army, repaired the city and consolidated the army, and managed the machinery and stored grain.

The Jin army of the Later Jin suddenly besieged the city, and the Ming army was not prepared enough. Therefore, Ji Yong and Zhao led the scholars to Huang Taiji camp to discuss peace, delaying time to wait for reinforcements. Huang Taiji was tough on Jinzhou and wrote a reply to Ji Yong and Zhao Shujiao. However, there was no reply later. Huang Taiji ordered the attack and fierce battle in Jinzhou broke out. On the same day, at noon, fierce battles in Jinzhou began. Later, Jin army failed to capture the city and suffered heavy losses. They retreated five miles to build camps. In the city and outside the city, peace and military battles were discussed and fought with the troops. You went and went on alternately. Huang Taiji failed in the initial battle and sent people to Shenyang to dispatch troops to reinforce.

On May 17, Huang Taiji contracted his siege of Jinzhou City and gathered troops to set up camps two miles west of the city to prevent the Ming Dynasty's troops from coming to reinforce. On May 18, Huang Taiji was impatient and shot a letter into Jinzhou to persuade him to surrender again. Ji Yong and Zhao Shujiao in Jinzhou City ignored him and ignored him. From May 19 to 20, the Later Jin army continued to besiege the city. On May 25, Ezhen Borjin, Gushan of the Later Jin, Turge led reinforcements from Chenyang to Jinzhou, strengthening the strength of the Later Jin army to attack the city.

By May 26, the Later Jin army had been besieged for fifteen days. It was early summer. The officers and soldiers of the Later Jin were exposed to the wilderness, with food and supplies scarce, and their troops were exhausted, and their morale was low. On May 27, Huang Taiji led three major Beile, all Taiji, one deputy general of each banner, and a total of 3,000 soldiers to the Ningyuan area to fight against the Ming army. The Later Jin army was divided into two units: one continued to stay in Jinzhou, and dug three moats outside Jinzhou City to surround them; the other unit was led by Huang Taiji and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers to attack Ningyuan.

When Jinzhou City could not be captured, he sent envoys to persuade people to rebel and refused to surrender. Huang Taiji moved westward and attacked Ningyuan City.

Huang Taiji led the Eight Banners officers and soldiers including the Great Beile Daishan, the Two Beile Amin, the Three Beile Mangurtai, Jiergalang, Ajige, Sahalian and other Eight Banners to attack Ningyuan. At that time, Yuan Chonghuan and the eunuchs in the Nei Town were stationed together. Yuan Chonghuan commanded the Ming army to withdraw into the trenches. General Sun Zushou and Deputy General Xu Dingguo led the army to the west, Man Gui ordered the deputy generals Zu Dashou and You Shiwei to lead the army to the east, and the rest were around, and they were all trustworthy, preparing for the battle. Outside the city, train camps were set up, and deep trenches were dug in front as barriers, and the Ming army retreated to the inside of the trenches to set up camp. Yuan Chonghuan defended Ningyuan this time, in addition to "using the strong city to use cannons", he also arranged troops outside the city to compete with the Later Jin cavalry.

On the morning of May 28, the Later Jin army arrived in Ningyuan and launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle. Sahalian, Wakda and other troops were severely damaged by the Ming army. At the same time, the Ming army in Jinzhou left the city, and the Later Jin army fought and defeated the Ming army who came to aid. Huang Taiji personally led Bele Ajige and the generals, guards, and escorts to attack the Ming army. Zhu Beile did not have time to wear armor and helmets, so he rushed to fight. Ming general Man Gui and Deputy General You Shiwei led the army to fight, and they fought each other in close combat. The Ming army was in the city, and the artillery fire and arrows were fired at the same time. Huang Taiji's tent was blown up, Jiergalang and others were seriously injured, and the Later Jin army was killed and injured...

"Old Eighth, I think you are far from your father's khan!"

From a distance, you can hear the rude and wild cry of Mangourtai. This three Beile did not have any profound malice, but purely vented his dissatisfaction.

Since Huang Taiji ascended the throne, six ministries were established first, Sakhalian was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and Yue Tui was in charge of the Ministry of War. Regardless of whether it was a short seller or not, he first put on the airs.

The Sixth Ministry and the Han Army were directly under the control of Huang Taiji, and the Sixth Ministry of the Banner Affairs gradually intervened in some of the Sixth Ministry of the Banner Affairs.

This is feminine kung fu, and everyone cannot say that it is not good to establish six divisions... The Han people have six divisions, the Jurchen predecessor, the Great Jin Kingdom, and the Later Jin Dynasty established six divisions, and the Three Great Beilees were not easy to object, which did not involve their authority. Such things were all proposed when the Great Khan and the Three Great Beilees were sitting together, and they were passed together on the surface by the four.

After the establishment of the Six Ministry, Huang Taiji gradually seized power and established a literary museum, which pushed Fan Wen, Cheng Ningwan and others out.

Then he trained Han soldiers, sent firearms, and sent Ma Guangyuan and others to learn how to cast cannons.

Mangourtai did not agree with these things, but the four major bellies and the big belles are more transcendent, the two are the same lineage, and the three belles and the three belles and the two are the closest. The two are considered one. In many things, in addition to taking care of his two yellow flags, Huang Taiji's most inclination is to go to the Zhenglan Banner. The four major belles, the fifth and the eighth brothers are like wearing a pair of pants, so that they can suppress the eldest son Daishan and shake the second son Amin.

The situation in the Later Jin Dynasty was too complicated, and the Eight Banners were in conflict with each other, and the old system could not adapt to the new situation. There were also the troubles of grand strategies, the harsh situation of being surrounded by enemies, and the problems of Han army and Baoyi in the territory. Nurhaci killed too ruthlessly in his later years, and was too harsh to the Han officials and generals, and they should be slowly recovered. The coats of the various officials and villages should be loosened as much as possible. The newly plundered Han people should try to incorporate the strong men into the Han army as much as possible. Huang Taiji was determined to re-establish the Han army, but he was also anxious and needed to do so.

There are also those Mongolian nobles living in Shenyang and Liaoyang. Since Chahar was finished and the road information on both sides was not available, these people rushed to jump. Every day, people asked for the Khan to meet the Korqin army. They were anxious to invite the Later Jin soldiers to move troops to Korqin, and to fight the Korqin tribe back and connect them back into a whole.

However, Huang Taiji didn't even dare to touch Guangning and Shisanshan. That was a tough battle. The national strength of the Later Jin Kingdom was too weak now. If it weren't for the large amount of supplies that were harvested last year, with the current national strength of the Later Jin Kingdom, this battle of Ningjin would not be able to fight... There was no money or food to come out to bite the tough bones, which was obviously a loss-making business. The major beneficiaries and the banner owners would not be willing to send troops at all. Huang Taiji's prestige was not enough...

This time, the attack on Jinzhou failed and Ningyuan was frustrated. What is even more shocking is that the Guanning soldiers dared to fight in the field!

Zu Dashou and You Shilu each led more than a thousand Need Dings, accompanied by several thousand battalions, with armored soldiers and good training. The Later Jin soldiers sent cavalry to test and encircle on both wings several times, but the Ming army was not panicked. If there were cavalry running on both wings in previous years, the Ming army would have been in chaos, and the generals surrounded Need Dings and quickly fled. A large number of battalions were massacred, just like harvesting wheat.

This time, the Ming army's performance surprised Huang Taiji, and an unprecedented depression stung his heart.

The Ming army not only had powerful artillery, but also had the determination and ability to fight against the field, which made him very unwilling and depressed. If the Ming army in western Liaoning became stronger and stronger, they would not be worried that they would dare to fight within a few years, but instead made people worry that there would never be any place to fight Caogu in the future, which would cut off the idea of ​​breaking through from western Liaoning to the inner pass.

Western Liaoning is strong in soldiers and horses, and there are sufficient wages and equipment. Once the army dares to fight and fight, the generals will also have the belief in winning. This is a very terrible thing.

In western Liaoning, Guangning, and the Kuandian entrenched in the Dongjiang River, the previous several wars proved that Kuandian and Hutchison's strong soldiers, and in addition to the North Korea behind it, a large net has been formed. Huang Taiji could predict that even if he rushes left and right, he will have no way to break through this large net.

Dongjiang and North Korea are the weakest two rings, but both sides are quite poor and cannot grab anything at all. In addition, there are also Hutchison troops on the Dongjiang side, which makes Huang Taiji afraid of being attacked. In any case, Huang Taiji has regarded Hutchison as the strongest opponent. Before he has determined a certain advantage, Hutchison is an opponent he is unwilling to touch.

Manguertai complained and walked over. In fact, Zhenglan Banner suffered a small loss. This time in Ningyuan, the biggest loss was Niu Lu under Sahalian. Zu Dashou and You Shilu fought very steadily. Both sides had been on a small scale. The main force of the Ming army had been trying to rely on the help of the city and artillery, but they also dared to take the initiative. This caused quite a lot of trap for the Later Jin army. The weather was hot and the teacher was on an expedition. The Ming army was determined to fight with unprecedented determination and steady. When dispatching the generals obeyed the orders. It was obvious that the superior Liaodong governor had absolute authority...

"Fifth brother, don't be angry." Huang Taiji pressed his unhappiness and went forward to him, saying to Manguertai: "The Ming army fought well this time. If you lost Dingkou, my own Niulu will not be replenished. I will replenish you first. The war horses will also be replenished first, and then each flag will be replenished."

Manguertai grinned and smiled. This was not the Dingkou where he focused on a few war horses and a few losses, but the Ba's usual respect and care for him.

This psychological feeling is very subtle, so a few years later, when Huang Taiji scolded him for his exhausted horses and hunting, Mangguertai's psychological imbalance was inevitable.

First, I would like to praise San Beile and be a firm allies. Then I would suppress it and defeat it one by one. This is the goal and strategy set by Huang Taiji for himself.
