In Liaoyang City, Huang Taiji was waiting for Fan Wencheng's return with anticipation.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Fan is back...... "The Minister of the Interior, Ji Bilong, hurriedly came to report.

Huang Taiji said happily: "Invite him in, it's really a good wait for me!" ”

Ji Bilong hesitated: "Your Majesty, Mr. Fan...... Mr. Fan, he's not a whole person who came back....."

Not a whole person? What do you mean? Huang Taiji didn't react for a while.

"Mr. Fan's head is in a box, and he still has a reply letter in his mouth......"

Huang Taiji was unsteady on his feet and almost fell, and he walked out of the imperial tent quickly, only to see that his humeral minister had only one head left, and it was still in a crude wooden box.

Curb Bilong presented the reply letter that Fan Wencheng was holding in his mouth, and the grief-stricken Huang Taiji glanced at it, only to see a line of powerful words written on the reply: Turtle with a shrunken head, vulnerable!

Huang Taiji was suddenly furious and shouted: "Zhu Cihong, I want to break your body into ten thousand pieces!" ”

Huang Taiji gasped, feeling that he had lost a lot, and he couldn't negotiate peace, but he lost an important minister, if he knew that Zhu Cihong's kid was so unreasonable, he wouldn't let Fan Wencheng give away his head.

However, it was too late to say anything now, Huang Taiji turned his head and thought about it, and suddenly said: "Go and call all the Hanchen!" ”

......

In the imperial tent, the Hanchen gathered together, looking at Fan Wencheng's head on the table, all of them were shocked.

Huang Taiji squeezed some tears, turned around and looked at all the Hanchen and said, "You have also seen how the Southern Dynasty humiliated my Qing Dynasty!" ”

"Since I ascended the throne, I have respected Hanchen and reused Hanchen, but what about the Zhu family? He actually cut off the head of my chief Hanchen, the gentry of the Qing Dynasty! ”

Saying that, Huang Taiji expressed extreme indignation, and forcibly squeezed a few tears.

Another big traitor, Bao Chengxian, a scholar of the Inner Court, said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Fan is a model for his ministers, please avenge Mr. Fan!" ”

"Please ask the emperor to avenge Mr. Fan!" All Hanchen knelt down and shouted in unison.

Huang Taiji said sadly: "I not only want to avenge Mr. Fan, but I also want to reuse Hanchen even more, and pass on the decree that all Hanchen will be promoted to one level and added two years!" ”

One by one, the traitors were moved to tears, and shouted in unison: "The ministers thank the emperor Longen!" ”

Huang Taiji looked at a group of Hanchen kneeling on the ground, and felt a lot more comfortable, Fan Wencheng did not die in vain, and after his death, he also played a role in condensing Hanchen, which is worthy of being the loyal soul of my Qing Dynasty.......

Afterwards, Huang Taiji set up an ancestral hall for Fan Wencheng in Liaoyang City, and also wrote the words "Yuanfu Gaofeng" as the ancestral hall plaque, as the highest evaluation of Fan Wencheng.

This operation allowed him to once again win the hearts of the Hanchens.

Not long after, Huang Taiji received a report from the front army that the Ming army was marching towards Liaoyang City, and he hurriedly climbed the city tower.

He looked at the Ming army outside the city with a telescope, only to see the unique red dragon fluttering high, and the golden dragon on it seemed to be about to devour the entire Liaoyang City.

After the Tianwu army marched for dozens of miles, their military formation was not chaotic at all, still the armor was bright, the military appearance was calm, and from a distance, the entire military array had an unstoppable momentum.

Huang Taiji frowned, from Xiaoling River to here, hundreds of miles of journey, so long has passed, the Tianwu Army is still so vigorous, this is obviously an extremely elite strong army has the atmosphere.

On the two wings of the Tianwu Army formation, there are other Ming army arrays, and it can be known from the banner that they are from Shaanxi and Gansu, and they are also difficult to bite, and the battle of Xipingbao was fought by them.

However, Huang Taiji was faintly relieved that the elite of the Ming army was here, and the pressure on the eastern and western fronts would be much less.

Huang Taiji looked at it for a long time, not knowing what he was contemplating and thinking about, he suddenly said: "Curb Bilong, pass on my order, all the banners of Manchu, Mongolia and Han, all men over the age of fourteen go to the front line, and those who have not been armed in ten days will be killed!" ”

He muttered: "Zhu family child, even if you have a deviant act, you are still too young after all......

"Report! Enlighten the emperor, Shengjing news! ”

The generals of the Eight Banners around became nervous, lest the Ming army sneak attack Shengjing.

Huang Taiji's heart was also tight, and said, "What's the matter! ”

The messenger from Sheng Jing trembled and said, "Your Majesty, news from the palace, Eighth Elder Brother...... The eighth elder brother is sick, and Concubine Chen's mother is sick......."

"What!"

Huang Taiji was like five thunderbolts, almost fell, the eighth son of the emperor was born to him and Concubine Chen Hai Lanzhu, is his favorite prince, why did he die at the age of two, and his favorite Concubine Chen is also seriously ill......

Huang Taiji panicked and ordered the Yellow Flag Lord Bai Yintu to command the troops to stick to Liaoyang, and he himself pulled out the camp overnight and drove back to Shengjing.

Halfway to the line, Shengjing came again, Concubine Chen's illness worsened, Huang Taiji was even more anxious, he gave up the royal car, only led a light Pegasus into Shengjing, rushed into the Daqing Gate, and went straight to Guan Ju Palace.

When Huang Taiji stepped into Concubine Chen's Guan Ju Palace, he was still a step too late, the beauty was already extinct, and Concubine Chen disappeared and closed her eyes forever.

Huang Taiji could not accept the cruel reality of Hai Lanzhu's death, and fell into a coma several times under grief, which made the queen's palace concubines and princes and ministers panic.

Empress Zhezhe persuaded: "Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body, don't be involved in love, cherish self-love." ”

Concubine Zhuang Bumu Butai also stepped forward to persuade: "Your Majesty, the war on the front line is urgent, don't be too sad, it will affect the national fortunes of the Qing Dynasty!" ”

Although Huang Taiji didn't like it, he also knew that doing this would make the people below talk about it, so he blamed himself: "When Taizu collapsed, I didn't have this, I was born in heaven, how can I be a woman......"

After speaking, he drove away the queen and Concubine Zhuang, saying that he wanted to be alone and adjust his mentality.

As soon as the two left, Huang Taiji threw himself on Hai Lanzhu's bedside, caressing the corpse and mourning, showing the true feelings of father-daughter love to the fullest......

After crying, Huang Taiji held a funeral with the death of Eighth Brother and Concubine Chen, and did not return to the front line, but frequently held various memorials.

In fact, he didn't dare to go to Liaoyang, it was imperative for the Ming army to attack Liaoyang, and it was a matter of time before the siege was made, he secretly withdrew all the elites of the banners to attack the back of the Ming army, how could he stay in Liaoyang to be trapped, even if Concubine Chen was fine, he would find an excuse to return to Shengjing and command the decisive battle.

The Ming army was heavily assembled, especially the Tianwu army, which was extremely powerful and good at firearms, and it was almost hopeless for the Eight Banners Army to fight a decisive battle with it.

Huang Taiji looked at it for a long time, thought hard, and finally found a way to break the enemy, the Ming army's march was too fierce, the head and tail did not care about each other, the loophole in the back road must be very large, as long as the elite of the Eight Banners was sent to attack its Xiping Fort and Yizhou, deter Jinzhou, cut off its grain supply, no matter how strong the Tianwu army is, it will be defeated.

Liaoyang is more than 300 miles away from Xipingbao, 400 miles away from Yizhou, and nearly 500 miles away from Jinzhou.

Now the Tianwu army is preparing to attack Liaoyang, and his strategic goal has basically been achieved, just waiting for the two groups of Dolgon and Haoge to strike a thunderous blow and cut off their back road!

Huang Taiji concluded that the next target of the Ming army must be Shengjing, as long as Liaoyang and Shengjing are conquered, the Qing Dynasty will basically be abolished.

Even if Zhu Cihong's little child is not moved, the generals of the Ming army will try their best to defeat Shengjing, such a great credit is in front of him, and there is no general who is not moved.

Huang Taiji has clearly grasped the psychology of the generals of the Ming army, just wait for them to be consumed under the city of Liaoyang, as soon as the time comes, the Qing Dynasty will counterattack in an all-round way, pour the whole country into a battle, defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop, and recover all the lost territory.
