After mastering Huang Taiji's mentality, Fan Wencheng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have this report." Huang Taiji signaled to him and said, "Please speak." Fan Wencheng said, "The information the emperor shows you today contains two important information. One is that the situation in the Ming Dynasty is already as powerful as water and fire. The battle between Li Zicheng, Liu Yi and Chongzhen has been made public, and Liu Yi will no longer hide his strength. Then, no matter which side wins or which side fails, it is a good thing for us.

.And Liu Yi just ended the battle with Li Zicheng. It is conceivable that after Li Zicheng lost so many people, Liu Yi's Qingyi army could not be intact. So both sides need a certain amount of breathing time. For us, this is a good opportunity. Secondly, Li Zicheng suffered such a big loss in Huguang, I think he will not give up. He will definitely find the venue from other directions. At least the lost troops must be replenished in time. So which direction is he most likely to go? I think it should be Henan."

Huang Taiji leaned forward and said to Fan Wencheng: "What is the basis for Mr. Fan saying this?" Fan Wencheng pointed to the full map of the Ming Dynasty hanging on the wall and said: "I saw that there are various red circles on this map. I guess it is because the emperor often watches and studies the map. He marked out some strategic points." Huang Taiji nodded, which was considered to recognize Fan Wencheng's statement. Indeed, he always thought about annexing the Central Plains, so he naturally looked at the map again and again, studying it every day. Fan Wencheng said: "Please look at the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty is nothing more than four directions, southeast, west and north. Li Zicheng raised an army from the west and took Sichuan. The west side of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be his world. The eastern expedition failed and he encountered the nail Liu Yi. The thief was not stupid. He

We will no longer fight with Liu Yi, so there are only two directions left. There is no place to develop in the south. Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Hainan have few resources and are not dense in population. For Li Zicheng's northern soldiers, it is not an ideal place to adapt to the local conditions and the capture is not a good place. Besides, Qin Liang, Yu, Mu Tianbo and other Ming generals fight to the death. If they really fight, Li Zicheng also needs to consider the cost. After all, the ones that can replenish military supplies at the fastest speed are the north, Henan, the Central Plains, and the place that has been fought for since ancient times. It is densely populated and rich in resources. It is simply an ideal place that cannot be more ideal. If I were Li Zicheng, I would definitely attack Henan and threaten the northern Zhili."

"It makes sense, it makes sense." A buzzing sound came from the hall. It seemed that everyone basically agreed with Fan Wencheng's opinion. Fan Wencheng said again: "Looking at Huguang again, I think that Huguang should have two outcomes. No, it should be said that there are only one. The court and Liu Yi want Huguang, but the court's hands are not long enough. Liu Yi fought such a big battle in Jiujiang, and it is unreasonable to let Huguang go. I believe that the new army will definitely garrison in Huguang, at least control Wuchang Prefecture, Changsha Prefecture and other wealthy areas. In this way, Liu Yi will need energy and time to digest Huguang. It is a gap for us. And if he enters Huguang, the court will definitely prevent everything from defending, and the relationship between the three forces will deteriorate even further. At the same time, Henan and these forces are bordered, and everyone's attention is

It will be placed in the heart of the Central Plains, and we can take this opportunity to do some action." Huang Taiji became interested, "What does Mr. Fan mean?" Fan Wencheng said: "At present, my Qing Dynasty has achieved some achievements in keeping a low profile, especially the digestion of the Western Regions and Tibet is becoming more and more mature. At present, our Eight Banners system is expanding steadily according to the original idea. In addition to the three Eight Banners of Manchuria, Mongolia and Han, as our core military forces, we have also reorganized the Eight Banners of Goryeo and absorbed many Goryeo people into the army." Everyone nodded. When they retreated from Goryeo, they were entangled with many Goryeo people. There were also many Goryeo people in the original Jin Dynasty. Huang Taiji organized them into the army. Anyway, they didn't expect them to have strong combat effectiveness. As long as they could play the role of auxiliary soldiers and firearms.

Fan Wencheng continued: "In addition, we have also established new Eight Banners Army in other directions. For example, the Western Regions and Tibet we mentioned just now have established the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of the Western Regions respectively. This is a great help to us. These people have good combat power, especially the Eight Banners of the Tibetans, which has a strong momentum. After being incorporated into our army, we can greatly enhance our strength. In addition, the slaves also heard that the Tsar of the Rakshasa would increase their troops. This is a good thing. If General Gorowen doesn't mind, I suggest establishing the Eight Banners of the Rakshasa and being unified and commanded by the emperor." Gorowen curled his lips and said: "Don't the establishment of the Eight Banners of the Rakshasa means that our status has been reduced? You must know that our Rakshasa country is equal to the Qing Dynasty. The Tsar asked me to help the Qing Dynasty fight, not as a vassal of the Qing Dynasty. Everyone cooperated.

I hope you can understand this." Fan Wencheng hurriedly said, "Of course I did not mean to make the Eight Banners of Rakshasa a vassal of the Qing Dynasty, but after all, everyone is fighting in a joint battle. You can't fight yours. If I fight mine, you must unite under a banner. So I think that since the Tsar is helping us fight, we should divide the main and secondary, and all the troops should obey the emperor. You said, General Golowen." Huang Taiji interrupted Fan Wencheng and said, "Mr. Fan, let's do it this way, you don't have to worry about this matter. Your opinion is good, but we must also respect the Tsar. This is what I do. I will do it myself. I will write a letter to the Tsar to discuss the issue of military leadership. You are right. If I am here to unify the leadership, it is naturally the best."

Golowen shrugged and said, "Well, respected emperor, if you can convince the Tsar, I will obey you. Otherwise, I will only follow the Tsar's orders, and I must guarantee the lives of the Rakshasa boys." Fan Wencheng ignored Golowen and bowed to Huang Taiji and said, "In addition, we can recruit troops in the Kazakh region. There are many ethnic groups there, such as Kazakhs, Uzbeks, and even great cannibals. We can all take them for ourselves and establish a mixed Eight Banners. In this way, we may have the troops of the eight Eight Banners. If we can fully complete the newly established Eight Banners in the future, it will be a powerful army of 480,000 people. In addition to our Bayala and Gebushxianchao camp, His Majesty's blood droplets, the imperial guards, etc., 500,000 people are no problem. Will my Qing Dynasty's strength be able to win the world?"

"Good words!" Huang Taiji stood up excitedly. Fan Wencheng's words were awesome to his words. If we could really follow this idea, the Eight Banners Army would expand to more than 500,000 troops. These 500,000 people were not the same as Li Zicheng's million-strong army. They were regular troops, and they were regular troops equipped with a large number of advanced Luosha firearms. Such power was very terrifying in any place. Fan Wencheng was hot and struck the railway: "Since that's the case, I think we can take the next step. We must avenge the revenge of Lushunkou." Huang Taiji was stunned, "Is Mr. Fan looking for the Qingyi Army's Ma?

"From the bottom of my heart, Huang Taiji really didn't want to fight Qingyi's army again in the local area, and he suffered a loss every time. Liu Yi's army's combat power was too strong. Before the Qing army was ready, Huang Taiji didn't want to fight with the Qingyi army. If they wanted to regain Lushunkou, with their current strength, it would be difficult to regain. The Qing Dynasty is now vast and there are not many troops deployed in Baishan and Black Water. If they are all concentrated to fight against the Qingyi army stationed in Goryeo, no one said that they have a 100% chance of winning. Huang Taiji swallowed and said, "Is this a bit inappropriate? Isn't it cheaper to fight the Qingyi army now?"

Fan Wencheng shook his head and said, "No, Master, we don't have to fight with the Qingyi army. We just need to mobilize some troops to watch them. After the Tsar's reinforcements arrived, the slave suggested that the troops of the Eight Banners of the Rakshasa were placed on the Shengjing defense line and a large number of fortresses were established. If the Qingyi army took the initiative to attack, we would use these firepower fortresses to drag them down and offset their firearm advantages. With the Eight Banners of the Rakshasa to help fight, we should be sure." Everyone whispered and said, "What Mr. Fan said makes sense, back then."

The Ming army continuously built fortresses in Liaodong to resist us. We can now resist the Qingyi army in the same way. With the Rakshasa muskets and cannons, we are not afraid of them." "What after that?" Huang Taiji asked. Fan Wencheng said: "After that, the emperor, our flesh-sting is Liaodong. Now Hong Chengchou is in charge of the government. The slave suggested that we concentrate our troops, destroy Liaodong, and push the front line to Shanhaiguan. Since we use the Rakshasa Eight Banners to resist the Qingyi army, then we can concentrate our troops in the Liaodong area to fight."
