Since Zhu Youxiao appointed Wang Zaizhen to supervise Liaodong, he began to adopt the suggestion of Wang Xianggan, the governor of Ji Liao, to abandon the land outside the pass and gather heavy troops to enrich the austerity strategy within the pass.

This is contrary to Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan's construction of a castle outside the pass, and it is best to build a tight and slight Guanjin defense strategy that is to violate.

It also means giving up all the territory outside the pass, and Wang Zaijin was impeached by many censors.

But Zhu Youxiao still insisted on letting Wang Zaijin govern the Liaodong army. Zhu Youxiao knew that the so-called Guanjin defense line could not resist the cavalry with strong mobility in the Later Jin Dynasty, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty had such a long strategic defense line, can you guarantee that the Tatars of the Later Jin came only from Liaodong?

Moreover, Wang Zaijin's measures saved Zhu Youxiao a lot of money and food. Although the famine in Qin and Jin areas is still intensifying, the court can temporarily use money and food to suppress it, so that the natural disasters will not cause human disasters. Of course, the food this time robbery has to be said to be a huge loss, which makes the eight years of Tianqi that could have been through smoothly have to face the danger of facing a large-scale military mutiny, peasant uprisings and the multi-faceted attacks of the Tartars at the beginning of Chongzhen.

In fact, the reason why this crisis occurred when Zhu Youxiao was still the emperor was not that Wang Zaijin's strategy was bad, but that this strategy itself violated the interests of the military landlord class in Liaodong, especially the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

All the places outside the pass of Liaodong were abandoned, which meant that these people gave up their territory and greatly weakened their vested interests, which forced Zu Dashou and others to collude with the Tartars to make the matter worse, causing the court to blame Wang Zaijin and completely deny his strategy of abandoning Liao territory to defend Shanhaiguan first.

In addition, although the land of Liaodong has been abandoned, it is not very beneficial to the Later Jin Dynasty. They are so scarce that they are unable to occupy these territory. They are also short of food and clothing due to the influence of the small glacier climate, and they are more eager for food and clothing. Moreover, after Wang Zaijin took the initiative to retreat to Shanhaiguan, he implemented a policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields outside the territory, so the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty became even less interested in this territory.

What they were still interested in were countless Han people and endless wealth within Shanhaiguan who could be captured and enslaved.

Zhu Youxiao eliminated all the eight major Shanxi merchants and abandoned the land outside the pass, causing almost complete interruption of trade between the Later Jin and the Ming Dynasty, and also made their production and life increasingly difficult. In order to break the deadlock, Huang Taiji had to launch an attack on the Ming Dynasty in advance.

Since Ajige and Ningwan were killed by Zhu Youxiao last year, Huang Taiji hated Zhu Youxiao deeply. One was his younger brother and the other was his important counselor. However, after being good at forbearing, he did not immediately take revenge. Instead, he first sent Amin to attack North Korea to make North Korea pay tribute to him to the Later Jin Dynasty, eliminating the worries. At the same time, he also had a good relationship with Mongolia. Due to the civil strife in Mongolia, the Khalkha tribe and others had surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty, and reached the conditions for the Later Jin Dynasty to attack the Ming Dynasty through Mongolia.

Now that he secretly colluded with the Guanning Iron Cavalry to obtain a large number of scarce food and iron resources, Huang Taiji began to attack the Ming Dynasty with all the troops in the Later Jin Dynasty.

"Amin, Yue Tuo, for a side division, you will lead 1,000 armored soldiers, 3,000 armored soldiers, and auxiliary soldiers, including 10,000 people, first attacked by Sanshan Camp Fort, and then according to our prior agreement with Zu Dashou, you can dive through Shanhaiguan with his help. Remember not to fight with the enemy, and immediately advance to Yongping, forcing the Ming court to mobilize troops to Yongping. At the same time, Ben Khan personally led the main forces of each banner from Xifengkou to directly attack him in the capital!"

"yes!"

These eight banners, whose money rats were in mind, shouted in unison and sat back.

As Huang Taiji said, he said to Jirhalang behind him: "You stay at Chen 0yang to guard against Mao Wenning and other bandits, and be sure to ensure that the rear is not taken advantage of."

"I understand!" Jirgalang was a little unhappy. Everyone knew that this time he entered the pass was to make a fortune, but Jirgalang was the only one who wanted to stay in the back garden, so he was naturally a little unhappy.

The other Beile had a full of excitement. Amin, who had just slaughtered the people of the Ming Dynasty last year, even drooled. He wanted to lead troops to fight immediately now, and even said to Dorgon on the side: "I heard that Wang Lan, the Ming army guard of Sanshan Camp, took a few concubines. I haven't tasted the taste of a Ming Dynasty woman in a long time."

Dorgon smiled coldly and didn't say much, but at this time, Fan Wencheng said first: "This time, the Khan personally led the royal army to attack the Ming court, and he was well prepared. He pretended to be a detour to attack Xifengkou. At the same time, he used the partial army to attack Yongping to confuse the Ming army. With the speed of our Eight Banners Cavalry, I was afraid that when the child of Zhu Youxiao reacted, my Khan had already put the big knife in his hand on his neck."

"Ha ha!"

After hearing Fan Wencheng said this, all Bellers burst into laughter and rarely gave a thumbs up at the Han man: "Mr. Fan's words are so true."

Huang Taiji did not want to suppress the anger of the people at this time, and he couldn't help but smile. This was his first attack on the Ming Dynasty since he ascended the throne. It can be said that it is also an important proof of whether he should be in the position of the Khan. It has strong political significance. If he defeated this battle, he would truly become the leader of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty. If he was defeated, his position of the Khan would be unstable, and the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty would easily provoke internal struggles.

However, he is now full of confidence. As Fan Wencheng said, he is fully prepared, which is the right time, place and people.

"Okay, you all remember that the purpose of this battle is to plunder the Ming Dynasty to achieve the goal of fighting with war, and the second is to threaten his capital to prompt Zhu Youxiao to surrender and make peace to sever the land and people east of the Luan River, including Shanhaiguan, to learn from the Song and Jin alliance that year to pay tribute and surrender, laying the foundation for us to occupy the world in the future. If these two goals are not achieved, they will be considered a failure! Even if it is a shame for my Eight Banners!"

After Huang Taiji said this, Duoduo also stood up: "Don't worry, how can a child who is a master of Zhu Youxiao's palace wall and deep courtyard be compared with you? In my opinion, he is afraid that Song Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty will be cowardly!"

After Dodo said this, Amin echoed: "You said, will Zhu Youxiao be scared to pee his pants when he knows that we have arrived in his capital?"

After Amin said this, he immediately laughed again. The Eight Banners Beile, who had never lost, had already forgotten the taste of failure.

Even Huang Taiji, who had always been steady, couldn't help but smile at his favorite concubine Buben Butai when he returned to the harem, saying, "I heard that the queen of Zhu Youxiao is very beautiful, and I don't know how she compares to her beloved concubine."

A blush appeared on Buben Butai's face: "If your Majesty likes it, he will be back when the disaster comes. However, I heard that Zhu Youxiao is training some imperial guards, so it seems that it should not be underestimated."

"Don't worry about this. If you give it a detailed reward, there are only more than 10,000 people, and they are all firearms. Although the firearms are not as powerful as the Great Bow of the Eight Banners Warriors. The reason why the Ming army was not bearable is that they rely too much on these strange tricks and tricks. Fan Wencheng's words still make sense."

As Huang Taiji said that, he picked up Buben Buttai and went into the inner room. As soon as the lights blew, he began to take off his clothes rustlingly.

And Dorgon also secretly climbed up to their eaves at this time.
