Chapter 1174: The Qing Dynasty attacked Youzhou
Chapter 1172: The Qing Dynasty attacked Youzhou
The Qing Dynasty, which was established in the Wuhuan and the Dongxianbei region, currently has the land of Liao, Jin and Manchu, and the capital Shengjing City is located in Liaozhou, which is the southernmost point and closest to Youzhou.
The Qing Dynasty developed in a trapezoidal shape as a whole. The northward, the sparse and poorer the population, and the southward, the closer it was to the Han Dynasty, the denser the population and richer it became.
Although Shengjing City is also in a wilderness in the northeast, it is closer to Youzhou and has the most trade contacts with the Han people, and its population density is even no less than that in the Central Plains.
Nearly half of the achievements plundered by the Qing Dynasty in recent years were used to build Shengjing, a city, which also allowed Shengjing to develop rapidly in a rocket-like manner, and it was naturally the largest and most prosperous city in the Qing Dynasty, without a single one.
From this we can see that Nurhaci''s covetousness for Youzhou was so unscrupulous to develop Shengjing City just to facilitate the attack on the Han people in the south.
After Nurhaci recruited Wanyan Aguda from the front line, he immediately convened a military and political meeting, and the discussion was only two points: attacking the Yuan Dynasty? Or to attack the Han?
Although the Yuan and Meng and the Qing Dynasty jointly destroyed the Xianbei, the Yuan and Meng seized more population and wealth, so the foundation after the founding of the People''s Republic of China was also stronger.
The population and foundation of the Yuan and Meng were above the Qing Dynasty. Both countries followed the Han system and technology. After vigorous development, the strength of both sides improved extremely quickly.
Nowadays, the total force of Yuan Meng is roughly about 600,000, while that of the Qing Dynasty is roughly about 500,000.
Although Yuan Meng was strong, he was not much stronger than the Qing Dynasty. It was precisely because both sides were of equal strength that no one was sure to swallow each other in one fell swoop. If the war rashly started, it would only be cheaper for the Han people, so the grassland could maintain peace for so long.
Now that the 300,000 Yuan and Mongolian troops have invaded Hetao, once the Hetao granary is completely occupied, the strength of Yuan and Mongolia will definitely increase greatly, and the balance between the two sides will be broken.
Nurhaci naturally didn''t want to see this, so there are only two ways in front of him:
1. Attack Yuan Meng with all his strength to prevent Yuan Meng from occupying Hetao;
2. Go south to annex Youzhou to strengthen itself, so as to maintain the balance of strength between the two sides.
"Your Majesty, Duoduo believes that he should attack Yuan Meng."
Duoduo stood up, his face full of confidence, and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Meng mobilized more than 300,000 troops to attack Hetao. Now the domestic troops are empty. It is a great opportunity to defeat Yuan Meng in one fell swoop. I, the Qing Dynasty, must not miss it."
"The troops in Yuan and Mongolia are empty? I can''t see it."
Dorgon''s eyes flashed with a light smile and walked out with a faint smile, saying in a deep voice: "Temujin only used 270,000 troops this time, and even if he attacked Hetao, he did not continue to increase his troops. It is obvious that Temujin is just guarding against our Qing Dynasty.
If Yuan Meng was not prepared, he might be able to win at this time of attacking Yuan, but Temujin had always been prepared for me, the Qing Dynasty, so even if he had all his strength to attack Yuan Meng, it would be difficult to win for a while. It would be better to concentrate his strength to win more Youzhou first.
Although Youzhou''s grain production is far less than that of Hetao, its population is much larger than that of Hetao. Once it occupys Youzhou, the total population of our Qing Dynasty will surpass the Yuanmeng. Once it is completely digested, the overall strength of our Qing Dynasty will naturally surpass the Yuanmeng. ”
Seeing that Dorgon not only refuted him, but also made a good statement, Dodo immediately mocked him with dissatisfaction: "Dorgon, what you said seems that as long as you send troops, you will definitely be able to take Youzhou.
You know, the combined forces of the Han army in Youzhou have more than the Jin army.
Yuan Meng sent nearly 300,000 troops to deal with the 200,000 Jin army. If our Qing Dynasty wants to completely occupy Youzhou, we may have to send troops from all over the country. What if the left-behind Yuan Meng army attacks? ”
Duoduo''s problem is very sharp, but it is obviously not difficult for Dorgon to do so.
"Duoduo, you have also said that if you completely occupy Youzhou, you must dispatch troops from all over the country. Then, don''t you need to dispatch troops from all over the country to deal with the more than 300,000 troops left by Yuan Meng?"
A trace of cunning flashed in Dorgon''s eyes and asked, "What''s more, if our Qing Dynasty attacks Yuan Meng with all its strength, what should we do if the Han princes in the south attack the south?"
"this…"
Duoduo was speechless. After all, it was not the Han court who controlled Youzhou now, but the two princes Gongsun Zan and Liu Che.
The Han court has always been weak and incompetent in the northern foreign races, and the major princes in Youzhou''s attitude towards foreign races is much more tough than that of the Han court. At that time, the princes of the northern regions not only resisted the invasion of the Xianbei people, but also captured and killed the Xianbei Shanyu and the Lian.
This was a hearty victory, but the Han court not only knelt down and begged for peace, but also handed over Han Xin, who killed Helian, to the Xianbei.
In order to protect Han Xin, Liu Yu indirectly triggered a rebellion to depose the emperor, and even Liu Hong was almost expelled from the throne.
Since then, the Han Dynasty''s prestige has completely lost its prestige, and in order to protect itself, Liu Yu no longer obeyed the court''s orders, and Youzhou has completely entered the era of warlord separatism.
After the court''s constraints, the princes of Youzhou won many victory in dealing with foreign races, which made the northern foreign races frightened and no longer dared to look down on the princes of Youzhou.
"Dorgon, according to what you said, will it be difficult to succeed whether it is attacking the Yuan Dynasty or attacking the Han Dynasty?" Duoju asked back with a little annoyed and embarrassed.
"No, the chances of defeating Han are greater than attacking Yuan, and they are much greater."
Dorgon looked like he was holding his wise beads and said slowly: "There is only one force in the Jin army in Hetao, so he will naturally focus on his own and resist foreign invasions, but there are three forces in Youzhou, including Gongsun Du, Gongsun Zan and Liu Che.
The Han people were complicated and extremely disunited. Even if they might unite, they would definitely cause distractions. As long as I divide the Qing Dynasty and transform them, they would definitely be able to defeat them one by one.
Besides, our Qing Dynasty has also set up many backup plans in Youzhou. We will definitely be able to occupy Youzhou in the shortest time. ”
"this…"
Duoduo was completely speechless.
Nurhaci on the throne saw this, his eyes were full of praise, and Dorgon''s words coincided with what he thought.
"You don''t need to say much, I have made a decision in my heart."
Nurhaci stood up from the throne and said in a deep voice: "I ordered Wanyan Aguda to be the main general and Dorgon to be the deputy general. He raised 200,000 troops to attack Youzhou, and would never stop the troops unless he completely occupied Youzhou."
"Your Majesty is wise." The ministers shouted in unison.
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Wanyan Aguda''s eyes. Although Nurhaci ordered him to be the leader, he sent a son to monitor him. It was really a chance that he would not give him any more, and he was completely guarded against him.
After the meeting, Nurhaci recruited Dorgon and reminded him: "Dorgon, for my Aixin Jueluo family, Aguda is a double-edged sword. It hurts people well, but it hurts himself if it is not good."
A trace of surprise flashed in Dorgon''s eyes, but then he smiled and said, "Don''t worry, my son will not give Agu a chance."
"Well, you can control the importance of it yourself."
Nurhaci nodded and said lightly: "If you can''t suppress Aguda, you can use the hands of the Han people to get rid of him if necessary."
"My son remember the words of Emperor Ama."
In this way, the Qing Dynasty''s 500,000 troops were divided into three, with Huang Taiji leading the conquest of the three Korean countries, 200,000 were led by Wanyan Aguda and Dorgon leading the attack on Youzhou, and the remaining 200,000 were left behind to defend the Yuanmeng.
?A new round of summoning is about to start.
