    The Qing army attacked, and Huang Taiji personally directed the troops to attack Liaodong.  1,

    Huang Taiji led his army to Yizhou City, accompanied by Duduo, Haoge, Abatai, Dudu and the bachelors of the three academies.  Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng walked side by side. Along the way, they saw that the wild grass in the past had been expanded into fertile fields. Green seedlings such as corn, sorghum, and millet had grown on the land. Rows of newly built houses were filled with smoke, and from time to time there was smoke.  You can hear the cries of chickens, ducks, geese and dogs.  He raised his whip and pointed at the villages: "Prince Zheng is having a good time."

    Fan Wencheng suddenly sighed with emotion: "I would rather be a peace dog than a people in troubled times. When the Qing Dynasty unified the whole country and brought swords and guns to Kuma and released it to Nanshan, I would go back to the mountains and forests to live in spring plowing, summer cultivation, autumn harvest, and winter storage."  ¡¯s peaceful days.¡±

    Huang Taiji smiled and said: "Mr. Wen Cheng, you are just thinking about it. If you really take control of the Central Plains in the future, you won't be able to put Nanshan's swords and guns into the warehouse immediately. After the world is defeated, how to sit still is still an article.  Big article. This year, Bomu Bogor of the Sauron tribe did not come to the court. Zhasak Khan sent a lama to pay tribute and did not pay tribute to Jiubai. There were also ministers from the Central Plains such as Zhang Quan and Zhang Chun.  How much? Every time I think about this, I always feel like I'm walking on thin ice."

    Fan Wencheng frowned: "The emperor is able to be prepared for danger in times of peace and is as prudent as the beginning. He is truly a wise king."

    "I don't dare to be a wise king. I just hope that I can keep the stall left by the late emperor." Huang Taiji was also a little proud, but he pretended to be humble.

    "More than just defending? Your Majesty has carried forward the legacy of the late emperor and developed it into a great country. He is just waiting to take over the Central Plains."

    Fan Wencheng has a special affection for Huang Taiji. For almost thirty years, the monarch and his ministers have been getting along very harmoniously.  Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng spent several times more time together than with Queen Zhezhe.  Fan Wencheng admired Huang Taiji from the bottom of his heart, showing his kindness in knowing him and respecting him.  It turned into a dedicated and dedicated service.  He felt extremely lucky to meet a wise king in his lifetime: "Your Majesty, throughout the ages, how many people have failed to recognize their talents. In the end, they all died of old age, but Wen Cheng was able to meet the wise king and accompany him. He listened to the holy precepts and was enlightened.  The Emperor has great trust, and this life is enough.¡±

    Huang Taiji's heart was also filled with excitement. He could tell that Fan Wencheng was not flattering, but speaking from his heart: "It is precisely because of the fate of you and me that the Qing Dynasty can be what it is today."

    "Your Majesty, you must not say that. I am just doing my best."

    "Let's leave these words to future generations. Oh, look, Jierhalang and the others are here."

    At the residence of Jierhalang.  Huang Taiji and others were tasting scrambled eggs with leeks harvested from the farm.  Braised pork with cabbage.

    Huang Taiji was very interested: "If we can collect 1.8 million stones last autumn, we will solve a big problem."

    Hauge has been reinstated as Prince Su due to his meritorious service.  He also took charge of the household department again. He praised on the sidelines: "In this way, we not only save transportation funds, but also avoid a lot of labor pains. We achieve more with one stone."

    Huang Taiji shook his head and said: "The Ming army is not like that. They are still lucky. If they continue to fight like this, it will not take long before the Ming Dynasty's finances are ruined. Zu Chengzheng's suggestion of farming is really a good strategy to break an arm."

    Abatai took a bite of scrambled eggs with chives and said, "It tastes great! It's strange, why can't you eat this delicious food in Shengjing City?"

    Jierhalang smiled and said: "Then I will feed Rao Yubeile scrambled eggs with leeks every day. 1,"

    Duduo also said on the side: "Why don't you eat Brother Qi into an egg?"

    Everyone laughed.

    Huang Taiji suddenly asked: "Prince Zheng, how are the moods of the people from the pass?"

    ¡°Fortunately, I have food to eat and clothing to wear, it¡¯s very stable, and some people always have it.¡±

    Huang Taiji nodded: "It is said to be a military camp, but in fact it mainly depends on them. So we can't make them suffer too much, we can't starve them to death, we can't exhaust them to death, and we can't beat them to death. We must not separate their families, no  Women should find a way to match them with a woman so that they can have a family and put down roots. "

    Jierhalang said: "Your Majesty, since the beginning of spring, there have been many internal refugees fleeing, and all the ministers have been resettled. Do you think this is appropriate?"

    Huang Taiji frowned slightly: "How did they escape?"

    "I have asked, it is from the Malanzhuang area on the Yongping Prefecture side of the pass, and most of them are from Zhili."

    "This is an escape that risks life and death. I probably can't survive in my hometown. Now that they are here, of course they have to be resettled, but their interactions must be strictly controlled. They are not allowed to go out. Those who have to leave the village under special circumstances must have a way.  If there are no rules, once discovered, they will be treated as spies, and spies from the Ming Dynasty must not be allowed to sneak in. "

    "Yes, I have remembered it."

    Huang Taiji ordered again??: "There are nearly 10,000 people in the Chahar tribe under Zu Dashou's tent. You can send a courageous Mongolian to sneak into Jinzhou City, try to meet their leader, and instigate them to rebel. If the rebellion is successful, you will be rewarded with three silver coins."  One thousand taels, promoted to the third level.¡±

    Jierhalang said hurriedly: "These Mongolians have been with Zu Dashou for almost ten years. Zu Dashou treats them with special courtesy. It will be difficult to instigate rebellion."

    "The timing of using it is very important. If you use it too early, it will not only be ineffective, but you will also lose your life. Only when you use it in the best place can it be successful. Therefore, this person must be chosen well. If the rebellion is successful, there will be no need to attack hard.  I am waiting for your news. After the spies sneak into the city, they will immediately implement the siege. "

    &nbsp

    At the same time, Zu Dashou also realized the seriousness of the Qing army's farming, and he immediately reported the news to Hong Chengchou.  At this time, Hong Chengchou was recruiting troops inside Shanhaiguan and preparing food and grass.  After more than two months of inspection of the terrain outside the Pass, he already had a set of ideas on how to manage western Liaoning.  He once said to the generals and staff: "The Jurchens are nothing more than good at riding and shooting. If we can curb their strengths, it will be easy to win."

    The aides asked: "I wonder how Master Jinglue can suppress the Jurchen cavalry?"

    Hong Chengchou smiled and did not answer, but secretly ordered the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau to build chariots and iron caltrops for trapping horses day and night.

    He was surprised when he received the letter from Zu Dashou: "If the Jurchens start farming in Yizhou, it will be equivalent to pushing the border to Shanhaiguan. This is not a big deal."

    He immediately wrote back, ordering Zu Dashou to attack Yizhou and not allow them to succeed in farming in Yizhou.

    Zu Dashou sneered twice after receiving Hong Chengchou's letter.  Throw it on the desk.  I thought to myself: "Hong Jinglue, Hong Jinglue, it seems that you don't know how powerful the Jurchens are. They are not the bandits you are chasing in Guanzhong. The Jurchens are invincible. It's good if I can defend Jinzhou City. I'm still going out."  Attack? Isn't that to send it into the tiger's mouth? Huang Taiji used his troops treacherously. If he hadn't been seriously ill last time, I might have been dead." He made up his mind, no matter what.  You can't leave the city either.

    Zu Dashou accepted the lesson from Dalinghe. In recent years, he has stocked up a large amount of grain and grass in the city. He has placed Hongyi cannons at Ningyuan Gate, Yong'an Gate, Guangshun Gate, Zhenbei Gate and the four corners of the city.  There are firecrackers, repeating crossbows, and cauldrons for boiling water, and the city is covered with mines.  In short, Yuan Chonghuan used all the city defense techniques he had in the past. He believed that the entire Jinzhou City was impregnable and foolproof.  As long as Jinzhou City is here.  Huang Taiji couldn't even think of advancing half a step towards Shanhaiguan.

    Do not execute the instructions of adults.  It was disobedience to military orders, he thought about how to come up with an excuse.  Reply to Mr. Jinglue.  As soon as he picked up the pen, he heard the report from the guard outside the door: "Master General, smoke and dust are billowing from the north of the city, and it seems that a large group of people is coming."

    Zu Dashou was so shocked that his hand shook and the brush fell on the koan: "Here it comes, here it comes again."

    He really frightened Huang Taiji. He was captured once, and the Zhonghou Institute was besieged again. What will happen this time?  Suddenly, he felt that the defenses he had put in place over the past few years were in vain. Huang Taiji could tear them to pieces with just one tear.  He quickly climbed to the top of the city, where the smoke and dust billowed, and the flags of the Eight Banners soldiers were clearly visible.  It's really a forest of swords and guns, overwhelming, and you can't see the edge at a glance. I don't know how many people there are.  He subconsciously looked at the generals around him, and all of them looked frightened.

    The Qing army stopped three miles away from the city and stopped moving forward. After leaving a part behind, the rest divided into east and west routes, running all the way to Ningyuan Gate in the east and Guangshun Gate in the west.

    Zu Dashou immediately realized that Huang Taiji was going to repeat his old tricks. He wanted to turn Jinzhou into the second Daling River. Sure enough, by dusk, the four gates of Jinzhou City were filled with Qing troops, and Jinzhou City was surrounded.  .

    After Zu Dashou panicked for a while, he gradually calmed down. He summoned the generals to discuss: "It seems that Huang Taiji is using the old method to deal with us, but this time he made a wrong calculation. Jinzhou City has enough soldiers and food."  , enough to hold on for a year. As for the defense, it is an iron wall. If he dares to attack, he will never come back.  If you attack from a flank, you will definitely defeat the Qing troops. You must calm the soldiers and do not panic. Anyone who spreads rumors and disturbs the morale of the army will be punished by military law."

    According to Jierhalang's siege strategy, the defenses were changed every three months. The first batch had expired, and the second batch was Duduo's turn. After all, he was still very young, full of vigor and vitality, and he disapproved of such a siege.  After being around for a few days, I became impatient.  He wished he could immediately organize his troops to rush forward and capture Jinzhou City.  He was patrolling the camp when they shouted to each other from above and below the city. After listening for a while, he had an idea and ordered his bodyguard Suna Hai to say: "Send an order to each battalion. Each battalion selects two loud ones to come to the big tent to meet."

    An hour later, a total of sixteen people were selected.Duduo looked at them. They all had broad shoulders, big heads, and stupid heads. He laughed secretly in his heart: "Do you know what the king asked you to do?"

    A Mongolian soldier shook his head: "I don't know."

    When Duduo heard it, he smiled and said, "What a great voice."

    "Your Majesty, when my servant is tending sheep at home, even if I shout at the top of my voice, the wolves will not dare to come forward."

    Duduo patted him on the shoulder: "Then shout a few times for me."

    "My lord, you all have to cover your ears."

    Duduo smiled and said: "Just shout, how about the red cannon? We didn't even cover our ears."

    "That's different. The sound of the red cannon is crisp, but my muffled sound spreads farther and is more deafening."

    "Okay, just shout."

    "Your Majesty, please listen." He mentioned Dantian Qi: Ah!  ah!  ah!  After shouting three times in a row, all the iron tools in the big tent were shaken, the dust on the ground flew up, and people's ears felt numb.

    Dodo waved his hand: "Stop, stop! Okay, that's enough, that's enough. Have you all tried it?"

    Sunahai said: "My lord, I have tried them all, and they are almost the same."

    "I give you a task. Go to the city and shout something. Sunahai will tell you in a moment. Shout well and shout loudly. I will reward you when the time comes."

    The next day, the sixteen men were divided into four groups, one for each city gate, and each group was divided into two groups. They chose the high ground closest to the city, holding trumpets made of thin wooden boards: "General Zu, surrender quickly.  Well, your sons, nephews, and generals are all in the Qing Dynasty. They all miss you and are looking forward to your early surrender. Yuan Dutang was beheaded alive by Chongzhen. Last year, Chongzhen executed thirty-six leaders at once.  Comrade, you will not end well, you will be killed by him sooner or later. Is such a foolish king worth working for him? "

    "You have food and grass, but do you have firewood? When the firewood is burned out, what will you burn? Are you going to burn the thighs? Are you going to burn human bones like the Daling River?"

    These loud voices carried far away, and the soldiers on the city could hear them clearly.  When they first started shouting, the people above the city could still shout a few times, but then they couldn't shout to the people below the city, and there was no movement.  Duduo saw this posture and said: "Just shouting is not enough, you need to be serious. Control the red cannon well and hit it when you see the opportunity."

    With each shout and blast, the hearts of the Ming soldiers really started to float.  However, the outside world did not know what was going on inside the city. Duduo still felt that it was not enough, and he was so anxious that he walked back and forth in the big tent day by day.

    There was still no movement from the Ming army in the city, and all the soldiers could not calm down.  Abatai got a jar of wine from nowhere, and he secretly invited Duduo, Haoge, Dudu, Shuotuo, Ye Keshu and others to drink in the tent to relieve their boredom.

    After drinking, Shuo Tuo said: "Your Majesty is really evil. He knows how to siege. This is not about hunting wild boars. He has surrounded the Daling River and then besieged Jinzhou. Why can't we have a happy fight? I'm not boasting.  , If you let me take the lead, we will definitely conquer Jinzhou City in less than three days."

    Although Abatai was older, he was even more hasty. He raised his neck and drank half of the bowl of wine. Then he threw the bowl on the table and yelled: "What kind of fight is this? If you continue to surround yourself like this,  If you go down, you will be suffocated to death.¡±

    Hauge was also a little impatient. He held the wine bowl and said to himself: "Yes, if the siege continues like this, when will it end? If the food in the city is enough to last for two years, we will continue to siege for two years."  No."

    Everyone was talking about it, but Duduo said: "It's useless what you said. How dare you disobey the emperor's decision? We have to be patient and encircle. We must encircle well, but we can change the encirclement method."  Well."

    Everyone heard something in his words: "What's the alternative?" Duduo lowered his voice and repeated his idea.  Abatai was the first to agree: "Okay, don't delay things, I think it's okay."

    Hauge laughed: "Uncle Fifteen has a lot of clever ideas."
