But no one expected that Li Yongfang actually killed his son and sent the head to show his gratitude.

No one could be sure that Nurhaci had no doubts about Li Yangeng. In this extraordinary period, even the Jurchens were showing signs of disunity, let alone the Han surrendered generals.

Li Yongfang was worried about this, so he cruelly killed his son to save his family. After all, Nurhaci was very suspicious, and who knew when he would get sick?

The military meeting that was interrupted by this little accident continued, but there was nothing more to say.

Tong Yangxing wrote to request the transfer of supplies and food to help defend Haizhouwei, but the Later Jin Dynasty was really short of money, especially gunpowder, which was strictly blocked, and saltpeter and sulfur could not be obtained locally.

In fact, at that time, not only the Later Jin Dynasty was short of gunpowder, but Korea was also short of it and had to buy it from the Ming Dynasty. Of course, if they attacked Korea, they could also grab some.

However, Nurhaci disagreed with the idea of ​​attacking Korea, and the current situation did not allow the Later Jin Dynasty to have any chance of attacking Korea.

"North Korea has changed its owner and its attitude is extremely unfriendly. It is not feasible to send people to buy it secretly." Huang Taiji blocked another way with some helplessness.

Daishan coughed twice and said, "Haizhouwei's gunpowder should be sufficient to withstand the enemy's attack. Tong Yangxing's request in the letter is not particularly strong. In my opinion, Haizhouwei City is a small matter; the total inventory of food and supplies is the real problem."

Nurhaci had a blank expression on his face, knowing that Daishan was right. Haizhouwei City was only one place, and the entire Later Jin ruled area would face famine, which was the most serious problem.

According to the current stock, it is only enough for half a year at most, so it is necessary to be frugal and use it sparingly. This is not only a problem for the future, but also affects the military operations of the Later Jin Dynasty.

Don't think that the saying "food and fodder must be sent before troops move" doesn't apply to the Jiannu. Unable to rely on looting to support the war, the Jiannu had to provide their own supplies.

"How about attacking the five Inner Khalkha tribes?" Nurhaci's eyes flashed, and he said, "Originally, we wanted to win them over, but now they are mortal enemies, so there is no need to be polite anymore."

Huang Taiji, Daishan and others looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking that this was a military adventure in the situation where the Ming army was surrounded. But apart from this, no one had any other solution.

"Attack quickly and come back quickly, I think it's a good idea." Daishan took the lead in expressing his opinion and agreed to launch a lightning attack and come back after stealing the cattle and sheep.

Huang Taiji pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement, adding, "It would be most appropriate to attack the Zalut tribe, as they are the most friendly and wise."

Nurhaci nodded. Although he had a goal, the plan still needed to be made in detail and carefully.

The Ming troops in southern, eastern, and western Liaoning were not immune, and their actions needed to be carefully considered. Furthermore, even if there were no plans for a surprise attack on the Mongol tribes, the Ming army's eagerness to act was obvious.
