Chapter 202: Will Yuan Chonghuan Attack?
Sun Chengzong has learned about Tiemo, this young man is brave and strategic, decisive in killing, and full of courage. In time, the Ming Dynasty will definitely add another general, and Hou Shilu will not worry about having no successor. However, Tiemo has a fatal weakness, that is, his background is not good. He was born in a military family and did not have any fame, so the Ming officialdom was simply an outlier. No matter how strong his ability is, it is difficult for him to break through and become a general.
The meaning of Zhang Yan's words is very clear, and she hopes that Sun Chengzong can accept Tiemo, a student, and give him an orthodox background.
Sun Chengzong did not accept students at will, and there were only two brothers, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen, who really taught students in his life. As for Yuan Chonghuan and others, most of them claim to be protΓ©gΓ©s. Zhang Yan's meaning is that she hopes that Sun Cheng will teach Tie Mo a little bit.
really accepted Tiemo as a student, then Tiemo and Zhu Youxiao brothers are really the same students, with this relationship, Tiemo's future career will inevitably be much smoother.
The same door mostly means that it is his own person, and Zhu Youzhen will be a little closer in his heart.
Zhang Yan also had good intentions in order to help Tiemo.
"Tiemo can be regarded as a manufacturable material, and the old man also wants to see this young man with his own eyes. After two days, the old minister will ask His Majesty to go to Xuanfu for a trip. Speaking of which, I haven't been to the grassland for more than ten years. β
As he spoke, Sun Chengzong looked at the north, his eyes radiant. When I was young, I walked all over the world and browsed the northern land of the Ming Dynasty, how chic and comfortable.
Sun Chengzong agreed, and Zhang Yan was naturally overjoyed.
.......
In Shenyang, Liaodong, Huang Taiji's mood has been very good recently, and it can even be said that since the death of his father Khan, he has never been so happy.
After Dolgon led his troops to the Karaqin Department, the effect was very significant, and it took only three days to repel the attack of Lin Dan Khan and relieve the siege of Karaqin. Of course, Dolgon would not help in vain, and he also moved more than half of the materials accumulated in Karaqin.
Huang Taiji couldn't blame Dolgon for anything, because it was Lin Dan Khan's rebellious soldiers who took the supplies from Karaqin. In fact, Huang Taiji knew very well that the rebel was pretended to be someone under Dorgon's command, but he would not say it, so he could only pretend not to know.
Dolgon helped Haug out of the siege and took something away by the way, which was an exchange of interests.
In contrast, Mao Wenlong's death made Huang Taiji even happier. All along, Mao Wenlong has been like a stinger, stuck in his throat, and he can't spit it out.
No one could have imagined that the person Huang Taiji wanted to kill the most was not Yuan Chonghuan opposite, but Mao Wenlong, who was entrenched in the sea. Mao Wenlong is a bandit, he has occupied Phi Island all these years and has been reselling goods. After the gold lacks, he resells what at a high price. After the Jin Dynasty, there was a shortage of salt, and Mao Wenlong resold it at ten times the price, making the Jurchen tribes miserable.
Salt, if you don't eat it, you can't do it, so you can only pinch your nose and admit it. That's it, but every time he had the opportunity, Mao Wenlong also sent troops to fight grass valleys on the shore and snatched a lot of things. While pit the money of the Jurchens, they also rob the things of the Jurchens, and even rob people. Several times, Huang Taiji couldn't bear it anymore, and under the backlog of anger, he sent Zhenghuang Banner to conquer Mao Wenlong.
But when I got to the water, I realized how different it was from fighting on the ground. The Jurchen warriors rode horses and shot arrows, charged and fought, and were never afraid of anyone, but when they got to the sea, they all became soft-footed shrimps, and they were beaten by Mao Wenlong, and after losing a lot of soldiers and horses, they fled back in a hurry, and that time, Mandong almost died at sea.
Since then, Huang Taiji has never moved the idea of exterminating Mao Wenlong. He can see that Mao Wenlong is guarding his Phi Island alive and dead, fighting on the sea, and the Jurchen warriors only have the share of delivering food. If you want to destroy Mao Wenlong, you must first break through the Guanning army, without the Ningjin defense line, Mao Wenlong can only hide in the sea and eat deflated, and sooner or later he will have to cross.
It's a pity that Huang Taiji tried thousands of ways, but he couldn't break through the Ningjin defense line. The Ningjin defense line was operated like an iron bucket by the Guanning army, and although the Jurchen warriors could take advantage of Liaodong, they could not fundamentally destroy this defense line.
Huang Taiji did not make progress, but Mao Wenlong was not idle, last winter, Mao Wenlong's number one dog-legged Geng Zhongming led his troops to the Jurchen territory in Haidong and snatched dozens of Jurchen girls. This matter made a big fuss, and the Jurchen tribes continued to exert pressure, making the emperor's head as big as a fight.
Moreover, with Mao Wenlong here, Huang Taiji did not dare to lead the Jurchen armies to conquer Mongolia, let alone bypass the Ningjin defense line and go to the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty to fight the grass valley. Huang Taiji knows Mao Wenlong too well, if he leaves with the army, the strength of the Dajin Kingdom will be empty, and with Mao Wenlong's greed, he will definitely pounce on him like a cat smelling fish. At that time, only God knows what the Dajin Kingdom will be tossed into by Mao Wenlong.
It can be said that Huang Taiji has long been looking forward to Mao Wenlong's death, but he has never been able to think of any good way. Just when he had nothing to do, Mao Wenlong was actually killed by Yuan Chonghuan.
If Yuan Chonghuan was close at hand, Huang Taiji would definitely say thank you in front of him, which would have helped a lot.
Mao Wenlong's death also made Huang Taiji understand Yuan Chonghuan better.
was thinking about things, listening to the rumors from the guards outside, Fan Wencheng asked to see.
Huang Taiji still attaches great importance to Fan Wencheng, and after Fan Wencheng got permission, he bowed when he entered the door, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations to the Great Khan, congratulations to the Great Khan, sure enough, God blesses my Dajin Kingdom, and the scourge of Mao Wenlong was actually eliminated by Yuan Chonghuan." β
"Haha, it seems that Mr. Fan knows my heart very well" motioned for Fan Wencheng to sit down, and Huang Taiji said softly, "What does Mr. think of Yuan Chonghuan?" β
Fan Wencheng knew that Huang Taiji asked this, most of which meant to be compared, he thought about it and said with a smile: "Yuan Chonghuan is too selfish, too power-hungry, but he lacks courage and narrow-mindedness. This person does not care about the overall situation and cannot tolerate it, but he considers the attitude of the Ming Emperor in everything. Hehe, he is hesitant to do things, and it is difficult to achieve great things. β
"Now that Mao Wenlong is dead, and the military and political affairs of Liaodong are all under Yuan Chonghuan, I can't say, the time has come for my Dajin State to conquer Lin Dan Khan and expand the territory."
Huang Taiji smiled and nodded, Fan Wencheng's opinion was no different from what he thought in his heart, but he still asked, "Why did Mr. say that?" β
"Hehe, Yuan Chonghuan has long had the intention of killing Mao Wenlong, but he has been delayed again and again, and it has been delayed until now. Fan Mou inquired that before killing Mao Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan had written more than a dozen official documents to test the attitude of the Ming Emperor. It can be seen that if Emperor Daming expressed a little intention to defend Mao Wenlong, I am afraid that Yuan Chonghuan would give up the idea of killing Mao Wenlong. As the governor of Jiliao, what big thing can be accomplished by procrastinating and hesitating, considering the emperor's attitude in everything? β
After hearing this, Huang Taiji applauded lightly, and said happily: "Sir, you said, if Ben Khan pours his troops westward and breaks the Great Wall to the south of the hinterland of Daming and Gyeonggi, do you think that Yuan Chonghuan will pour out of the nest and attack the hinterland of my Dajin Kingdom?" β
Fan Wencheng was stunned, he seemed to see something in Huang Taiji's eyes, thought about it, and then said with a serious expression: "In Fan's humble opinion, Yuan Chonghuan will most likely not dare to attack the hinterland of my Dajin Kingdom. Everything he has comes from the Ming Emperor, and in his heart, the safety of the Ming Emperor is the most important thing....."
"Really?"
The smile on Huang Taiji's face became more and more prominent, and his gaze became sharper.
