threw out the concept of the patent office, had to draw the drawings of the shuttle and Jenny spinning machines, instructed the carpenter to build and experiment, and handed over the affairs of Wuchang Mansion with the crown prince Zhu Cihong, to be honest, Zhang Mingwei was really busy.

………………

Far away in Shenyang, Liaodong, Huang Taiji, who had already led troops back to help, naturally knew about the entire war situation in Liaodong. Looking at Ying Erdai who was kneeling on the ground and pleading guilty, Huang Taiji was so angry on the spot that he smashed Ying Ordai with the things in front of him on the spot.

If Haizhou City hadn't been attacked, these things would have happened!

Therefore, in Huang Taiji's view, the biggest responsibility this time is Yingordai.

The cavalry of the Ming Kingdom, which was less than 5,000, actually successively defeated Haizhou City, as well as Anshan Post Fort, and even scared Liaoyang City out of the city gate, so frightened that Shengjing not only immediately sent a messenger to call him back.

The Ming cavalry, which was less than 5,000, killed people and hated them, and slaughtered many Manchurians. It can be said that the boundaries of Haizhou are empty; There is also the area from Haizhou to Liaoyang.

The Manchurians were the foundation of the Qing Empire, and the population was originally small. Now that they are killed by these Ming cavalry, they account for even less of the population of the Qing Dynasty. It is necessary to transfer some people from other places in order to control these places steadily.

However, this matter is actually relatively small.

In the previous time, Huang Taiji recruited the whole country's cavalry, and also issued a holy decree for Korea and the subjugated Mongolian tribes to send troops, and he had already set off. The materials consumed by such a toss before and after were all wasted because of the killing of the Ming cavalry.

In addition, when Haizhou City was burned down and Liaoyang City entered the war, Shengjing City sent reinforcements, all of which consumed a lot of materials.

Originally, because of the destruction of the Eight Great Jin Merchants and the Battle of Songjin, the materials of the Qing Dynasty were already very scarce. If these Ming cavalry are so troubled, this material will be even more stretched!

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji already had a very headache. Moreover, this incident will boost the morale of the Ming army, hit the morale of the Qing army, and hit the prestige of the Qing emperor, Huang Taiji.

From now on, the Ming army will definitely not be the same as before, and when it sees the Qing army, it will be a little weaker. The things that have been accumulated over the years of victory in the war against the Ming Kingdom have been ruined by this battle.

Thinking about these things, to be honest, Huang Taiji has all the thoughts of eating Ying Erdai.

No, Ying Ordai, who was kneeling on the ground, was smashed by him and his head was bleeding, but he didn't dare to hide or wipe it.

But even so, Huang Taiji did not vent his anger, but pointed at Ying Erdai, and shouted with red eyes: "Drag me out, unload eight pieces, and divide the corpses of five horses!" ”

However, Ying Erdai was already a famous general in the construction at this time, and he was also the solid mountain of the white flag. It can be said that in the white flag, except for Dolgon, he is the most powerful.

For such a person, even if Huang Taiji is the emperor, he is not so casual.

Just when the yellow coat was about to step forward to take away Ying Ordai, he saw Dolgon come out of the queue and said to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty is angry, if you kill Ying Ordai, I am afraid that the whole Ming Kingdom will be the happiest." ”

Huang Taiji actually knew that someone would intercede for him, and he also thought that Dolgon would be one of them. It's just that he didn't expect that Dolgon's reason for interceding turned out to be this.

If Dolgon had taken the credit of Ingordai's previous achievements, Huang Taiji would not have agreed. The responsibility for this defeat is too great!

However, after killing Ying Erdai, the whole Ming Kingdom was the happiest, and he minded this matter.

Because of this, there is no need for Dolgon to list the past merits of Ingordai, and Huang Taiji remembered it.

I have to say that Yingordai's contribution is indeed very great, not only can lead troops to fight, but also handle government affairs, promote agricultural affairs, and even in communication with Korean and Mongolian tribes, it is difficult for others to compare.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji hesitated a little for a while, and did not immediately urge the yellow coat to carry out his will.

Seeing him like this, Ji'er Harang, who was originally in charge of the Ningjin defense line, also came out and said: "Your Majesty, it is easy to kill him, and the Ming Kingdom also has one less opponent that gives them a headache." Rather than this, it is better to let him make meritorious contributions, if he can't satisfy His Majesty, it's not too late to kill! ”

Seeing that they were all pleading, Azig also said: "No one thought that Minggou would come from the sea, and it happened to be when we drew the cavalry. This situation is really difficult to deal with! ”

Huang Taiji listened, although he still had a cold face, but he was actually moved.

The anger eased a little, and the killing intent faded a little.

However, he did not regret the decree he had just made, because as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, if he took the initiative to open up to the main generals of this defeat, it would be difficult for him to give an explanation to others.

After all, I don't know how many clansmen were killed by the Ming cavalry this time, and the emotions of their relatives and friends always have to be appeased.

He was silent, and saw Duoduo also stand up, first glanced at those Han officials and generals, and then sneered, and then said to Huang Taiji: "I think that this time the Ming cavalry just chose a good time, and they were able to lurk in Haizhou and raid Haizhou City, I am afraid it is also caused by someone ventilating the news." ”

When they heard this, everyone was stunned.

That's right, if the Ming cavalry had come some time earlier, before the cavalry was transferred, even if they came from the sea, it would definitely be difficult for them to inflict such heavy losses on the Qing Dynasty so easily, and it would not even be possible to escape!

Thinking about it this way, almost all the Jianyu turned their eyes to those Han officials and generals, and the meaning of doubt was written on their heads.

This sudden situation made these traitors panic immediately. They are tempted to defend themselves, saying that they are not the internal response, that they did not report the news.

However, under the scrutiny of so many eyes, they were afraid that someone would misunderstand, so no one dared to speak first, so they could only bow their heads one by one, under incomparable pressure.

Among them, Zu Dashou is a little weak-hearted. But fortunately, he has a lot of experience, and this little thing can't make him panic.

Hong Chengchou's expression was the most natural, and even he was in the mood to turn his head to look at the Han officials and generals standing behind him, thinking in his heart who was most likely to report to the imperial court?

However, he was watching, and suddenly heard Duoduo snort coldly: "Hong Chengchou, did you report the news?" ”

Hong Chengchou never expected that he would be named. For a while, he was a little panicked, and hurriedly defended: "The lower official accompanied the master to the expedition, how could he report to the imperial court?" Besides, the matter of going on the expedition is the suggestion of the lower officials, how can it be dismantled by itself! ”

When Zu Dashou heard this, his eyes moved, and he opened his mouth to remind Hong Chengchou: "Lord Hong, it's not to report to the imperial court, but to the Ming Kingdom!" ”

In fact, Hong Chengchou's meaning is to report to the Ming Kingdom, but he has been an official of the Ming Dynasty for so many years, and for a while, he is a little used to the title, and it is not so easy to change all the details.

If it is in normal times, others will not pay much attention to these details, because they can guess what he means from the context before and after.

But at this time, when Duoduo was really suspicious of him, as soon as he heard Zu Dashou's words, he sneered and said, "Sure enough, the heart is in Cao Ying, and he is in Han!" Say, did you report the news? ”

When Zu Dashou heard this, when he saw Hong Chengchou's eyes looking at him with annoyance, he quickly replied with an apologetic look, and then quickly lowered his head, feeling proud in his heart.

"Wronged!" Of course, Hong Chengchou was about to cry out for injustice, he knew who the main master was, so he turned his head to Huang Taiji and said, "If the slave is still attached to the old master, how can he take the initiative to show the master all the big and small matters of the Ming Kingdom!" ”

When Huang Taiji heard this, he had a little headache, waved his hand and said, "I believe that those in the palace are loyal to the Qing Dynasty. Hugh will mention this again! ”

He knew that just asking like this would not ask anything, but would make people feel disheartened, which he didn't want to see.

But it was also because of this incident that he was a little less angry with Yingordai.

At this time, he turned his head to stare at Ying Ordai and shouted coldly: "For the sake of the ministers begging for mercy for you, I will first record your capital crime." This winter's food and grass supplies have to be solved by you! ”

If you can solve the winter grain and grass materials, it will be a great credit, after all, the Qing Dynasty is very short of food and grass materials.

However, with so many grains and grass materials, how can it be so easy to solve?

However, Ying Erdai did not hesitate at all, and immediately played: "Please also ask Your Majesty's quasi-servants to take 5,000 men and horses to North Korea!" ”

The Great Wall defense line in the Gyeonggi Land of the Ming Kingdom has proven to be strengthened, and it is not so easy to attack. And farther to the west, at this time, the news of the Ming army's departure to retaliate against the Tumut Department has also been reported. This is also equivalent to saying that it is a bit unrealistic to pin the grain and grass materials on the side of the Ming Kingdom in this winter.

Because, Ying Ordai immediately hit the idea on the vassal state of Korea.

In fact, Huang Taiji said that this matter of atonement was to let Ying Erdai go to North Korea.

The DPRK has already been asked to pay tribute to grain and grass materials once, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to ask for it again. However, Ying Erdai was familiar with North Korea and had dealings with Korean monarchs and ministers many times. Huang Taiji believes that he is under pressure and should not live up to his expectations.

At this time, Huang Taiji listened to Ying Erdai's request, and did not think much about it, and immediately agreed.

But who knows, after he agreed, Ying Erdai turned his head and glanced at Hong Chengchou, and then said to Huang Taiji: "The slave also wants Hong Chengchou to accompany him!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Huang Taiji immediately understood why he wanted to name Hong Chengchou, so he agreed without hesitation.
