Chapter 554 Everyone has their own agenda

Amin didn't just have this idea because of a sudden hot flash in his head.

He just closed his eyes to rest and was thinking about this matter.

The gap in national power between the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty is really huge.

In the past few years, they had been winning battles with low casualties. The Dajin Eight Banners looked invincible and invincible.

But all this changed completely with the succession of a young emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

As one of the four Baylors, he often has to deal with political and state affairs. He knows very well how much gold there is.

If the invasion of North Korea cannot return with a full load, at least half of the population of Dajin will not survive this winter.

And even if we can get through this winter successfully, so what?

The number of men in Dajin who can wear armor and go into battle now is only over 40,000, and there is nowhere to replenish them.

Lindan Khan of Mongolia was beaten by the Ming army and fled to Mobei without knowing his whereabouts. Many tribes surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

The savage tribes in the north have been wiped out by them over the years.

There is only one North Korea left in Daikin's population and resource supply areas.

Northern North Korea is now also sparsely populated, with fewer and fewer Koreans living there. In the future, they will have to take greater risks when going south to plunder.

On the other hand, in the Ming Dynasty, since the young emperor of the Zhu family succeeded to the throne, it can be said that the decline has been wiped out.

Monan Mongolia was torn to pieces by him. The Eight Banners of Dajin, which used to be invincible and invincible, suffered repeated defeats against the Ming army.

The little emperor obviously knew how to fight, and he had great talent and great strategy.

And that Xiong Manzi stationed in Shenyang is not easy to deal with either.

If there were another Saarhu war, Daijin might not win.

The gap in national power is really too big. Daikin cannot afford to lose a single battle. As long as it loses, several years of hard work will be wiped out.

And this fact has now been completely verified.

The Ming Dynasty is different. They can lose one game, ten games, or even dozens of games. Their strength is still very strong, and it is still not comparable to Daikin.

Now he has seen very clearly that Daikin can only win continuously, and he must win every battle.

Just like the great victories in Fushun, Tieling, and Saerhu, only Dajin could block the Ming Dynasty's military front and continue to survive and grow stronger.

Judging from the current situation, this is obviously no longer possible.

Furthermore, he and Nuerhachi have a blood feud that wiped out their entire family. As long as possible, he will never let go of a good opportunity for revenge.

Since Dai Jin's chance of winning is already so slim, why should I be driven by him to act as his pawn?

But he was still worried about how the Ming Emperor would treat him after he surrendered.

After all, they had committed a lot of murders in Liaodong over the years, and his hands were stained with the blood of many Han people.

Therefore, he cannot surrender blindly now, he must have some reservations and leave a way out for himself.

At least the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had to guarantee that his descendants would be prosperous and wealthy for three generations, and he would also serve as the commander of the Jianzhou Guards, and he would not be replaced by hereditary officials.

After thinking about this and weighing his own interests, Amin gritted his teeth and immediately decided to send his confidants to Shenyang to see Xiong Tingbi.

Amin is also one of the Four Belles, one of the core figures of the Kingdom of Jin, and he and his father are both leaders of the same banner.

Therefore, there are still many people who are loyal to him.

This is also the disadvantage of the Eight Banners system. All the people with blue flags are his personal servants.

So he had to find a few confidants to handle this matter, it was just a matter of one sentence.

He was afraid that Xiong Tingbi would not believe it, so he wrote the letter himself, one in Manchu and one in Chinese.

But Amin also made a special statement that the letter could only be handed over to Xiong Tingbi, and that Xiong Tingbi's tone of voice would also need to be found out, depending on the situation.

After all, once this matter is leaked out and the Great Khan knows about it, or the Ming army uses this letter to make his own article, it will be very bad.

In fact, Amin was also gambling, risking his life to find a way out for himself.

Judging from the current situation and development trend, he does not think that the Great Khan can defeat the Ming army in Liaodong as he did two years ago.

"Boar Skin personally led the troops to invade North Korea this time. It seems that Guizhou Donkey has run out of skills."

"Mao Wenlong has led the Zhenjiang army to cross the sea and enter North Korea to help the North Korean imperial army prepare the wild boar skin army and delay time for us."

"Winter has entered now, and many areas around Jianzhou are already covered by heavy snow and the roads are impassable."

"When we march this time, the number of troops and horses should be controlled within 20,000, and not too many. Otherwise, the logistics pressure will be too great, which will be detrimental to us."

After Mao Wenlong's messenger rushed to Shenyang to explain the situation to Xiong Tingbi, Xiong Tingbi also knew that the time had come for him to send troops.

Immediately, drums were beaten to gather the generals, and a military meeting was held as quickly as possible to discuss how to advance the army.

Xiong Tingbi's analysis is somewhat safe.

Although Lao Nu left Jianzhou with the main force of Five Banners, there were still three Banners troops in his hometown.

Although he still didn't know who the person left behind was, Xiong Tingbi also guessed that it was Daishan, the little boar skin.

Xiong Tingbi is very familiar with Boar Skin and the so-called Four Belles and Five Ministers under him.

Daishan is a man of some ability, not to say scheming, but he is not a stupid pig either.

Moreover, it is now freezing cold, and the climate and environment are inherently unfavorable to the attacking Ming army.

And he had no delusion that he would launch an army to destroy the wild boar skin now.

Although Boarskin's life is difficult, he still has some strength. It is still unrealistic to destroy him now.

Therefore, he could only do the next best thing, which was to send an elite force, numbering around 10,000 people, to attack the front lines of Fushun and Sarhu Pass to put frontal pressure on the wild boar skin.

His idea did not win the support of most generals, and of course, they did not oppose it.

Only Li Huaixin and several other close confidants of Xiong Tingbi expressed their attitude and claimed to obey military orders unconditionally.

Even You Shigong, who was promoted to chief military officer last time due to his military exploits, chose to remain silent.

The reasons are naturally intriguing.

Each of them has his own thoughts.

Some people are greedy for life and afraid of death, and are unwilling to go out of the city to fight in the wild with the notorious Jiannu.

Some people think that the weather is freezing, what kind of war are we going to fight? Let the wild boar skin go to fight North Korea and let him fight. What does it have to do with them?

And some people don't want the wild boar skin to be destroyed.

Despite Zhu Youxiao's repeated orders, all slaves must be killed, and those who respect themselves as slaves must be severely punished.

But when it comes to their own interests and status, some people still have this idea.

As long as the wild boar skin lasts a day, they can openly and openly ask for money and food from the court, and there will be a steady supply.

If the boar skin is gone, what use will these generals have?

Let alone money and food, whether you can keep your salary and official position is a question.
