Niu Jinxing paused and said, "Let's look at the situation outside the pass. I'm afraid the emperor knows more about the situation outside the pass. From my own observation alone, the court occupied Liaodong, and the rest of the place was from the Qing Dynasty. As long as the Liaodong is taken over, the court will have no influence outside the pass." Huang Taiji smiled bitterly. It seems that the Dashun regime really has no understanding of the situation outside the pass. The intelligence work of this regime is really not very good. If it weren't for the large scale of the Dashun regime, although it was a little bad, it was better because there were many people. Otherwise, Huang Taiji would never want to cooperate with such a regime. In his opinion, the purpose of these people

The light was too short-short, and he stared at that acre of three-point land. He lived in his own world and had no understanding of the situation outside the world. If Huang Taiji had the opportunity to go to later generations, he would probably laugh out loud, because in history, the Li Zicheng regime was such a regime without vision, only knowing the immediate interests. Regardless of life and death in the future, or even when the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, Li Zicheng and the others were very puzzled. They felt that the Jurchens had no grudges and no grudges with him, so why did they help Wu Sangui defeat him? They didn't realize that the Qing Dynasty's goal was the whole world, and they also felt that they were just barbarians outside the pass, and they would leave if they wanted some benefits.

If we look at this history from the perspective of God, will people in later generations think that Li Zicheng and his group are fools, so ignorant of the world? The fact is that, this four-dimensional peasant regime is not like any peasant army with grand goals in history, doing things systematically and purposefully, but instead of fighting wherever they think of, without long-term layout. This is also the fundamental reason why they succeeded quickly and failed quickly. Such people can destroy the Ming Dynasty by chance, but can only say that the Ming Dynasty is too bad, not how strong Li Zicheng is. Huang Taiji continued: "The Prime Minister is probably not very familiar with the situation outside the pass. In fact, there are three forces outside the pass. Liu Yi's new army has been wandering in Liaodong, and even Gao Li even has a lot of power.

He has been included in his territory. We have fought with them many times in Goryeo. The new army seems to attach great importance to the other side and is also a major concern for us." Niu Jinxing was secretly frightened. He didn't expect that Liu Yi was so long that he had reached outside the pass. From this point of view, there are three forces outside the pass. Liu Yi was in trouble for no reason. Niu Jinxing keenly realized that Huang Taiji is also very troubled now. The new army's entrenchment in Goryeo means that Huang Taiji has a sharp knife behind him. Liaodong and Goryeo attacked Huang Taiji on both sides, and it would be a headache no matter which side he hit. This may mean that everyone has a broad foundation for cooperation. Huang Taiji is facing difficulties, and they are also facing difficulties. Only when everyone works together can they break the deadlock.

Niu Jinxing said: "This is the first time I heard about this situation. After I go back, I will definitely report it to the emperor in full, but this also shows that the Qing Dynasty is also very troubled now. Since this is the case, we two companies can strive for maximum benefits." "How to cooperate?" Fan Wencheng asked coldly. Niu Jinxing explained to the map: "Please see, since the two companies want to cooperate, we must show sincerity and talk openly. Let me first talk about the views of the Dashun Army. At present, we are frustrated in Huguang. The next strategy is nothing more than two. Going south or going north, and going south is meaningless. Since Huguang is already in Liu Yi's hands, the risk of going south is extremely high and will be attacked from both sides at any time, so going north is the best route. Central Plains has been the place of four battles since ancient times, but

The dense population is a developed economy, and it is an ideal source of materials. If we take over Dashun, Henan, we will instantly soar. We just said that the two million army is actually conservative. If we take over Henan, Shandong and Shanxi will be completely under our military peak. Three million army will be just a leisurely time. At that time, we will encircle Bei Zhili, and Chongzhen will not escape." Huang Taiji and the ministers looked at each other, and they all saw a sense of shock in the eyes of each other. Who would have thought that their appetite was so big that they swallowed Henan and took Shandong and Shanxi, and finally encircled Bei Zhili. Do they think that they could conquer the capital and establish a new dynasty with their own strength? It would be too unwilling to take the Ming court and Liu Yi's new army seriously. Will Liu Yi tolerate their unscrupulous expansion?

Niu Jinxing continued: "But as you can see, the implementation of this strategy is extremely difficult. Not to mention the Qingyi Army, they took such a large territory as Huguang, which is several times larger than the ten prefectures in Jiangnan, and it takes a lot of time to digest. According to the information we have, Liu Yi invested a lot of manpower and material resources to enter Huguang. On the one hand, they are to prevent us from making a comeback, and on the other hand, they also have to firmly control Huguang. After all, the Ming Dynasty court is still there, and Liu Yi did too much, and would be drowned by the spit stars of the world. Therefore, the Central Army Governor's Office may not be able to take action, but what we are worried about is the court. Although the imperial troops and horses were destroyed by us, in the places we just mentioned, including the Northern Zhili, Jizhen, the capital garrison, the Jiubian and Liaodong, and the officials from Nanzhili

The soldiers, even the area of ​​Zhejiang and Fujian, can mobilize naval troops. These people are all over the place, and the number is also very considerable. Once Chongzhen ordered the soldiers and horses of the world to serve the king, we will be in vain. Even if we can win, it will be a miserable victory. It is a wedding dress for Liu Yi. I heard that this guy had a backbone behind his head. Like Wei Yan back then, what he did was to rebel, but Chongzhen's children were afraid of the combat effectiveness of the Qingyi Army and did not dare to tell the world. I think you don't want to see us fighting with the court to lose both sides. When Liu Yi raised an army to rebel, unify the Central Plains, and you will have no chance at all. Unify the inner gate, do you think Liu Yi will tolerate you? We have an old saying, "Would you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed? Once the Qingyi Army aims at the outer gate, your good days will come to an end."

Huang Taiji carefully savored the truth in Niu Jinxing's words. In fact, what he said was right. If the Dashun Army fought with the court, it would definitely be beneficial to Liu Yi. Liu Yi only occupied the territory of the ten prefectures in Jiangnan, it would become so difficult. If he was allowed to completely digest Huguang, he would become a monster. If the Central Plains were further unified, the Qing Dynasty would probably have no play. For the sake of the present, Lianshun destroyed Ming, and concentrate on dealing with Liu Yi was the right way. Huang Taiji said: "So what do you mean?" Niu Jinxing bowed and said: "We mean very simple. We must destroy Ming at the lowest cost."

The court, so they cannot be allowed to mobilize troops comfortably, which requires the support of the Qing Dynasty. If you can do things outside the pass, such as attacking Liaodong, then the elite soldiers of the imperial court, Jiubian and the capital will not dare to move. We are facing nothing more than the guards in the Yellow River area. With this alone, we will be at least 90% sure to achieve the strategic goal." Huang Taiji laughed and said, "Hehe, Prime Minister Niu, so what you mean is that we must cooperate with your actions and attack Liaodong in time to reduce your pressure, right?" Niu Jinxing said, "That's what it means."

Fan Wencheng said: "Prime Minister Niu, things cannot be so easy. Let me ask the simplest question. What benefits can we get? Why do we need to cooperate with you in the battle?" Niu Jinxing said: "The benefits are obvious. Attacking Liaodong was originally the strategic goal of the Qing Dynasty. Over the years, since Sarhu, you have fought one battle after another around Liaodong. The Liaodong supervisors sent by the Ming Dynasty have also changed one after another. It is your long-cherished wish to conquer Liaodong. We are in the Central Plains.

Having restrained the Ming court's energy, isn't it just sharing the pressure for you to attack Liaodong? Besides, if you really can't fight, when we take down the capital and destroy the Ming Dynasty, we will give Liaodong to you." "Hahaha, Prime Minister Niu, what are you kidding? How can you do such a cheap deal in the world? In conjunction with you, you have occupied all the excellent land within the pass. We fought for a long time and were still stuck outside the pass. If this happens, there is no need for everyone to continue to negotiate." Fan Wencheng made a decisive railway.

Huang Taiji just watched Niu Jinxing not speak, and he could not say something directly. After all, he was the highest decision-maker. Letting the people below speak first is a good way to take action step by step. Niu Jinxing asked back: "Why don't Mr. Fan think?" Fan Wencheng said: "Let's listen to our plan. Since you mentioned attacking Liaodong, it's better to turn around. You muddle the waters in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and cooperate with our actions outside the pass. You restrain the Ming court's large number of troops. We take Liaodong, enter the pass again, capture Jizhen and even the capital. At that time, the two armies gather in the capital. As for the future, we will work together to destroy Liu Yi, and then divide the river to rule. The flower world in the south of the Yangtze River will be given to you, and the others will be given to us.

Don't everyone have the best of both worlds?" Niu Jinxing realized that the Qing Dynasty was not about wine. They now have a growing appetite, and burning, killing, looting is far from satisfying them. Now Huang Taiji wants the land of the Ming Dynasty. But do they have this strength? In Niu Jinxing's impression, although the Qing Dynasty established a regime, it is essentially still a Jurchen regime. It is sparsely populated and the land is vast, but barren. There are hundreds of millions of Han people in the Central Plains. It is simply a delusion to want to rule so many Han people. Besides, compared with the Qing Dynasty, even if the people in the pass are forced to choose, they will choose Dashun. Dashun's legitimacy is not even worse than the barbarians.
