Chapter 223: Huang Taiji's thoughts

As the treasury of Hetualane City opened, the general guarding the city asked people to quickly load the belongings, and he himself was afraid that Zhu Hao would be in a hurry, so he quickly arrived at the city wall, and then said to Zhu Hao:

"This king, we have prepared our belongings, I wonder how you are going to exchange them?"

The words of the general guarding the city made Zhu Hao groan, because Zhu Hao was only thinking about how to extort Houjin just now, and he didn't think carefully about how to take away these belongings.

If Zhu Hao's strength is much larger than the guards in the city, how to exchange Zhu Hao can be agreed, after all, the dominant power is in his hands, but the current situation is that the guards in the inner city are about 10,000 people, and his soldiers are only 5,000.

Because of this, after Zhu Hao listened to the words of the general guarding the city, he was thinking about a way to take away Houjin's belongings safely, and at the same time not be threatened by the soldiers and horses in Houjin's inner city, so he didn't speak for a long time.

Zhu Hao pondered for a while, and then said a little shamelessly:

"In order to show sincerity, this king has retreated to the outer city gate!"

"Then you send your belongings out of the inner city!"

"After the king has people take their possessions, he will naturally release the captives and withdraw from the city of Hetuara at the same time!"

The general guarding the city listened to Zhu Hao's words, his face was very unsightly, and he said in an angry tone:

"It's not fair!"

"What if you take your belongings and don't be trustworthy and don't release the captives?"

"We can agree on a place outside the city, limit the number of people, and exchange prisoners!"

The words of the general defending the city were actually fair, but after listening to the words of the general guarding the city, Zhu Hao shook his head slightly, and then said resolutely:

"No way!"

"You must know that there are captives in the hands of this king, and you are not qualified to negotiate terms with this king!"

"If you don't agree, the king will attack the city immediately!"

"After attacking the inner city, all the treasures in the city will belong to the king!"

"I don't need to bargain with you at all!"

Zhu Hao actually knew in his heart that it was almost impossible for his soldiers and horses to attack twice as many as his own soldiers and defend the inner city without siege equipment, but what he was relying on now was these thousands of prisoners, so that the soldiers in the city would not dare to attack with all their strength, but even so, Zhu Hao's certainty that he would be able to successfully take the inner city of Hetuara was less than thirty percent.

Zhu Hao will not take risks with his own soldiers when he is not sure, and Zhu Hao has already broken through the outer city of Hetuala, which has put great pressure on Houjin, Zhu Hao believes that they will definitely ask Nurhachi for help, as long as Nurhachi receives the news to return for help, then Zhu Hao's purpose of this battle will be achieved.

Therefore, on two points, Zhu Hao will definitely not take that risk, the reason why he is talking about the siege of the city at this moment is nothing more than wanting to take away the property extorted from Houjin safely.

The general guarding the city on the upper floor of the city, after listening to Zhu Hao's words, did not speak for a long time, and after a while, the general guarding the city spoke:

"You can't call the shots!"

"I'm going back to the city to discuss!"

Zhu Hao listened to the words of the general guarding the city, and replied with a cold face:

"Counsel?"

"Yes! But there is a limit to the patience of this king! ”

"This king only gives you half an hour to think about it!"

"In half an hour, the king will begin to attack the city!"

The general guarding the city, listening to Zhu Hao's words, did not say anything more, but hurriedly went down the city tower, and at this time, in the inner city of Hetuala, a team of soldiers had already pulled out ten carts of belongings from the internal affairs office, ready to go.

The general guarding the city looked at the ten carts of property, sighed slightly, and asked the escorted soldiers to stand by, and then hurried to Huang Taiji's mansion.

After the general guarding the city saw Huang Taiji, he saluted and said:

"Fourth elder brother, as you expected, the eldest elder brother agreed to take out the property from the internal affairs office and give it to the gang of bandits."

"But now the bandits let them give away their belongings before they let the captives go."

"The last general is afraid that those thieves will not be trustworthy! I came to ask the fourth elder brother! ”

Huang Taiji listened to the words of the general guarding the city, sighed slightly and said:

"Didn't I say that you don't want to come to see me at this time?"

"Since you came to ask me, I'll tell you clearly!"

"I don't care if those bandits keep their word or not!"

"I only care, eldest brother, he ordered you to open the treasury privately, and gave the property in the treasury to the thieves!"

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"Well, I'm sick and won't see anyone again in the near future! Kneel down! ”

The general guarding the city, listening to Huang Taiji's words, understood that Huang Taiji had agreed to Zhu Hao's conditions, so he gave another salute and withdrew from Huang Taiji's mansion.

It turned out that this general guarding the city was originally Huang Taiji's person, which is why Huang Taiji handed over the command of defending the city to him after leaving the city wall, and this general who guarded the city promised to give Zhu Hao property, and he also went to Dai Shan for the first time, persuaded Dai Shan to open the Internal Affairs Office privately, and killed the head of the Internal Affairs Office, This series of actions was arranged by Huang Taiji in advance.

The reason why Huang Taiji did this was actually to compete for the position of the prince, because the old emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, Nurhachi, was sixty-two years old at the moment, but he had not established the prince for a long time, and although the Later Jin was a nomadic regime, it was greatly influenced by Han culture.

Huang Taiji was afraid that his emperor Ama also had the idea of establishing a successor, so his eldest brother Dai Shan, who was the imaginary enemy in Huang Taiji's heart, this time he used Zhu Hao's siege incident to collude with the generals who defended the city, forcing his eldest brother to open the internal affairs office privately and take out the property of the internal affairs office to Zhu Hao.

Huang Taiji knew that once his Emperor Ama knew about this, with his Emperor Ama's temper, even if he didn't punish his eldest brother, I am afraid that his eldest brother would never be able to get the position of prince, after all, with his Emperor Ama's wisdom, he would definitely not choose such a cowardly heir.

And in this matter, Huang Taiji also showed a diametrically opposite attitude to his eldest brother, so that he not only secretly eliminated his eldest brother, a strong competitor, but also added competition points to himself.

That's why Huang Taiji said that he didn't care if Zhu Hao kept his promises, because as long as the property was sent out of the city, his purpose had already been obtained.

Zhu Hao didn't know the calculations of Emperor Taiji of Hetuala, but even if Zhu Hao knew, I am afraid that he would be desperate, the more fierce the fight between these brothers of Houjin, the better, because the more intense the fight, the more beneficial it is to Daming.
