"you mean?"

When Yang Zhen heard Yu Liangtai's words, a thought flashed through him like a flash of lightning, but in an instant he thought it was too impossible, so he suppressed his words. In the end, he only asked one more question, wanting to see if Yu Liangtai was with

I had the same idea myself.

"The meaning of the humble position is that the enemy is the son-in-law of the Shen family, and the governor is the son-in-law of the enemy. In addition, the subordinates such as the humble position also worked under Shen Zhixiang in Shicheng Island. The governor and Shen Zhixiang are both related and brought together.

Therefore, is it possible to draw him from the Tatar side to our side?"

Yu Liangtai, who had always had a heavy face, when he mentioned this topic, his eyes suddenly shone brightly, obviously hoping that this matter would come true.

"Commander, if you think about it, if Shen Zhixiang can be brought to our side, then with internal support, Fuzhou City and Jinzhou City can be conquered at once, and then advance by land and water, and take Lushunkou to the south. Let's just use the advance battalion of the Eastern Expedition.

Now we truly have a Feng Shui treasure land that can be advanced, attacked, retreated and defended!

"If this is the case, the general trend outside the pass will definitely be reversed. From now on, when the Manchu and Tatars fight on two wings, their vigorous upward trend will also be reduced! At that time, with the ability of the governor, the great achievements of Marshal Mao will be reproduced.

It’s not a big deal, it can even be accomplished in one fell swoop!”

Yang Zhen never thought that marrying Qiu Bihan would actually bring him such a kinship, and bring him such an opportunity to recruit the Manchu Tatars and succeed him as Duke Shen Zhixiang.

But he also knew very well that since this Shen Zhixiang had already had a falling out with the Ming Dynasty court, and would rather cross the sea and surrender to the Qing Dynasty with an infamy than confess to the court, it would be extremely difficult to instigate him to rebel.

Still difficult.

Thinking again, in order to show his determination to cut off his retreat, he actually ordered the warships that his troops relied on to be pierced and sunk to the bottom of the sea. His determination was evident. The little hope that Yang Zhen suddenly had, in the blink of an eye.

It was shattered again.

"Well, if you can bring Shen Zhixiang to our side, what you said will be easily realized. But getting Shen Zhixiang to our side is not easy!"

The ideas mentioned by Yu Liangtai are very good, and they are all what Yang Zhen wants to do. If they can really be realized, then of course it will be perfect.

It is a pity that all Yu Liangtai's ideas are based on one premise, that is, he can use family, friendship and other means to instigate Shen Zhixiang.

However, for a strong man like Shen Zhixiang who was born in Dongjiang, family ties and friendship are not convincing at all.

His uncle Shen Shikui was captured and killed by the Manchu Tatars, but his nephew led his troops to surrender to the Manchu Tatars two years later.

How could a person who could do such a thing be easily influenced by family and friendship? How could he be easily inspired by the defense of Huayi and national justice?

What's more, after Shen Zhixiang surrendered, although he was not directly crowned king by Huang Taiji like Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi, he was still a Xushun Gong among the Manchu Tatars.

What can I do to recruit him?

Even if you really pull him over, what position can you give him?

The more Yang Zhen thought about it, the more impossible he thought it was. He sighed and shook his head. He was no longer an official in the Ming Dynasty, he was not even an uncle.

His only worldly position was as the commander of the Guangning rear garrison, and he was also the commander of the Guangning rear garrison that no longer existed.

"Captain, although this kind of thing sounds unbelievable, it is not without precedent in the past. When Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, and Mr. Yuan recruited Liu Aita, the son-in-law of an old slave, it was a precedent!"

Yu Liangtai saw Yang Zhen couldn't help but smile and shake his head. He knew that Yang Zhen had no hope, but he still persuaded him again without giving up.

But Yang Zhen had already made a decision in his heart, so he said to him: "That was then, and now is now. The situation of the Ming Dynasty on both sides of the Liao Sea was acceptable back then, but it is not comparable to today!

"If we have no chance of winning in western Liaoning, if we cannot achieve a victory of sufficient magnitude, or in other words, if we cannot inflict heavy losses on the Manchu Tatars, it will be absolutely impossible for us to recruit Duke Xushun, who has been granted the title of Manchu Tatars!"

During the Tianqi years, the Liao Dynasty had deteriorated, and the Later Jin Kingdom had risen. However, the Later Jin Kingdom at that time was not yet capable of breaking through the Great Wall defense of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Dongjiang Town in the Ming Dynasty was very powerful, and Denglai Town was very powerful. Although the Donglu were strong at that time, there were no signs of winning the world.

Moreover, the old slave Nurhachi brutally persecuted the Han people in Liaodong, which made those Ming army surrenderers who surrendered because they were captured very dissatisfied.

This gave Yuan Keli the opportunity to rebel against Liu Aita.

However, the current situation is very different from that of the past. Not only is the enemy stronger and we weaker, but Huang Taiji has also changed his strategy for dealing with the Han people in Liaodong during the Nuerhaci era.

If you want to recruit the Manchu Tatars to rebel against the Ming army and surrender their generals, it will be difficult to reach the sky.

Yang Zhen thought of this and saw Yu Liangtai scratching his head in embarrassment on the side, so he said to him again: "Well, let's put this matter aside for now. Even if Shen Zhixiang personally leads his troops to move to Fuzhou City, one or two

I'm afraid I won't be able to build a few warships within a month.

"Our Songshan City's top priority right now is to step up military preparations to prepare for the offensive that the Manchu Tatars may launch in autumn and winter! Let's wait until we can withstand the Manchu Tatar attack, and then we can talk about the matter on Changxing Island.

.”

"Then, Commander-in-Chief Hu Changhai, Gao Chengyou and the others request for surrender of their troops, as well as requests for food and salary, and requests for support of guns and ammunition. Do I need to give them a reply from my humble position?"

Seeing that Yang Zhen was about to end the meeting, Yu Haichao quickly asked his last question.

Hu Changhai, Gao Chengyou and others were in a difficult situation. When Yu Haichao left Changxing Island, they gave them many instructions, asking Yu Haichao to give them an accurate word as soon as possible.

Yu Haichao had been drifting at sea with Yu Liangtai before, and they took them in. They worked together for more than a year, and they still had some affection for each other, so he asked them a few more questions.

"Let's take a rest for a few days. I'll ask the camp office to prepare some corn supplies later. Then I'll ask you to make a hard trip to Changxing Island to reply to my message!"

Yang Zhen looked at Yu Haichao and said while thinking: "Let me just say, I welcome the two of them who have led their troops to surrender. I will go to the court as soon as possible to ask for titles and rewards for them. As for other things, I will tell them first."

Find out more and don't act rashly.

"By the way, I have two sentences here that I want to give to them and Hu Dabao's troops. Go and tell them and ask them to keep them in mind at all times. One is to focus on defense and stay hidden for a long time. The other is

Accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity. Tell them that within a month or two, when things happen on our side, I will lead my army across the sea and go to Liaonan!"

As for Shen Zhixiang's men, whether they use their close ties to try to instigate him, or they mobilize all forces to annihilate him, in short, Yang Zhen cannot allow him to really create a new world in Fuzhou and Jinzhou.

The waterman is coming.

Once he is allowed to do it, Yang Zhen's only safe rear area will immediately become unsafe, and he will soon face a dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides.

And this is something he absolutely cannot allow.

Therefore, as long as there is some sign of building a navy in Mantatar, Yang Zhen must try his best to concentrate all his efforts to nip this sign in the bud.

In Songshan City, Yang Zhen was plotting how to exploit the Manchu Tatar puppet emperor Huang Taiji and how to deal with the Manchu Tatar attack on Ningyuan that might be launched in October. At the same time, the Manchu Tatar puppet emperor Huang Taiji, who was being plotted by him,

Also in the puppet imperial palace located in Shengjing City, a group of princes and ministers were summoned and another treacherous plan to "defeat the Ming Dynasty" was formulated.

"Although it is easy to detour from Mongolia to Jibei or break through the border at Xuanda, plunder its population and wealth, and undermine its people's morale, it is not a long-term strategy after all, if the city and land cannot be defended."

Huang Taiji's physique was still tall and fat, and his face, which was already as heavy as a jujube, showed some strange brilliance when he talked about Fuling's strategy. His generous face, which was a bit fat and saggy, suddenly became red.

"I once said in the early years that taking over the Southern Dynasty is like cutting down a big tree. Cut it from both sides first, and then the big tree will fall on its own. Now North Korea and Mongolia have both surrendered for a long time, and internal chaos has arisen in the Southern Dynasty. I thought that the Qing Dynasty should take over the Southern Dynasty.

The opportunity has come. As the saying goes, if God gives you nothing, you must suffer the consequences. Don't miss the opportunity. If you miss it, it will never come back. If the civil strife in the Southern Dynasty is calmed down, or if time passes and good ministers and generals emerge, it will be too late for our Manchurian monarchs to regret it!"

"Your Majesty, are you going to use all our Manchurian Eight Banners troops to conquer the country, continue to detour through Mongolia, and go south to conquer the Ming Dynasty?"

In the Dazheng Hall of the Shengjing Palace, in addition to the Tatar pseudo-emperor Huang Taiji and a group of his closest ministers, other Manchurian clan dignitaries such as Prince Heshuoli Daishan, Prince Heshuosu Hauge, Prince Heshuorui Dorgon, and

Jierhalang, Prince of Shuozheng, Duduo, Prince of Yujun, Azige, Prince of Wuying, Abatai, Prince of Raoyu, and other princes and princes were all present.

After hearing Huang Taiji's words, some of these people looked excited, obviously having been looking forward to it for a long time, some looked embarrassed, obviously not agreeing with it, but most of them looked expressionless and were waiting for the next sentence.

Only Prince Heshuoli Daishan, who was sitting first on the left hand side under Huang Taiji's seat, frowned and spoke when he saw that no one among the kings and Baylor was present. However, the meaning behind his words was obviously there.
