At this time, although the pace of spring has slowly arrived, due to latitude, Guanwai is still in a white snowfall.

The city called Shenyang Zhongwei in the Ming Dynasty had been renamed Shengjing at this time. Because Nurhachi out of strategic considerations, Shenyang Zhongwei as the capital, and in the center of Shenyang, built the place of discussion and politics - the Great Government Hall and the Ten Kings Pavilion, on the north side of the central axis according to the Jurchen architectural model to build a "living palace", known as the Han Palace.

Since Nurhachi was killed by a cannon bombardment outside Ningyuan City, Huang Taiji inherited the throne of Khan, and continued to build the Great Inner Palace Que composed of Daqing Gate, Chongzheng Palace, Phoenix Tower, Qingning Palace, Lintoe Palace, Guanju Palace, Yanqing Palace, Yongfu Palace, etc.

It was in this palace that Huang Taiji renamed the Jurchen Manchuria, renamed the country "Qing" in 1636, and officially determined the name of the palace.

Although Huang Taiji went through a series of political means to win over Dai Shan, who was the Great Belle, and finally became the position of the Great Khan, this position was not so easy to do. Some of his brothers are still eyeing their positions, which also forces Huang Taiji to urgently make some political achievements to stabilize his position.

At present, the most troublesome thing for Huang Taiji is that due to the shortage of food in Houjin due to the arrival of winter, many herdsmen have been starved to death and froze to death, which also casts a shadow on Huang Taiji, who has just ascended to the throne of the Great Khan.

"Great Khan, now many of my herdsmen are frozen to death and starved to death, and I don't know what to do with it."

Azig, who was now demoted to a white flag, didn't care about being the Great Khan Emperor Taiji, and asked with an unhappy face.

For Huang Taiji, Azig did not have the slightest respect in his heart, but had a deep hatred.

Since Emperor Taiji inherited the throne of Khan, in order to justify his name and consolidate his power, he changed the color of the two flags of Zhenghuang and Yellow led by himself and his brother Duoduo to the Zhengbai Flag and the Inlaid White Flag, and the original Zhengbai Flag led by himself was changed to the Zhenghuang Banner. It's not just a matter of changing colors, it's about determining one's status.

Forget it, after all, the centaur is still in his own hands, but he deeply remembers Huang Taiji's mother Azig who forced him to death.

"Didn't I strip grain and grass for you some time ago"?

Although Huang Taiji was dissatisfied with Azig's attitude, it was not easy to attack, after all, there are still many people who are very dissatisfied with him.

"The grain and grass sown by the Great Khan are not enough for the people in my banner, and they have long been exhausted."

"Okay, twelfth brother, now you also know the situation of my Dajin, it is not easy for the Great Khan to be able to allocate some grain and grass with the twelve brothers, and the spirit of my father Khan in the sky does not want to see me and other brothers kill each other."

Seeing that Dai Shan, who was the big Baylor, was the exit to relieve the siege for Huang Taiji, although Azig was talking about something, but his second brother had already painted, and even moved out of his dead father Khan, so he could only sit aside and be angry.

When the meeting reached this level, it was naturally impossible to hold any further, and Huang Taiji could only announce the end of the meeting.

Seeing this, everyone also stood up one by one and returned to their own mansion, which must be much more comfortable in their own mansion than in the Great Palace.

"Great Belle, please stay, Great Khan please".

A little eunuch stopped Dai Shan, who was about to leave, frowned slightly, and stood aside waiting for everyone to leave.

"Great Khan, I don't know what is going on"?

After seeing that everyone had left, Dai Shan returned to the Dazheng Palace, and when he saw Huang Taiji with his eyes closed, he asked softly.

"Second brother, eighth brother has something to ask you, I hope you can help me."

Huang Taiji did not call Dai Shan's official position, but said with brotherly affection.

Dai Shan was also very puzzled when he saw this, "Great Khan, please speak."

The sun and the moon are like a shuttle, the ten-day holiday officially ended, and Daming also opened a new chapter in the 8 years of the apocalypse.

As the saying goes, heaven is not as good as people, and I planned to take advantage of the calm situation in the court to send troops to eradicate Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others as soon as possible. Then after rectifying and preparing for the north, Houjin reversed the decline of the Ming Dynasty's national fortunes in one game.

In Zhu Youxiao's heart, Houjin, who was eyeing him outside the Guan, was not the main enemy at all, and the enemy in the first place was Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others. Newcastle

People who are familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty know that it was purely an accident that Houjin was able to obtain the country, and even Huang Taiji was emotional. If it weren't for the rebellion of Li Zicheng and others in the Guannei three times and twice, exhausting the last trace of strength of the Ming Dynasty, it would not be possible to break through Shanhaiguan for another twenty or thirty years with the power of Houjin.

Zhu Youxiao thought so and planned to do so, but a sudden battle report directly gave Zhu Youxiao a slap in the face.

On the 25th day of the first month of the eighth year of the Apocalypse, the newly succeeded Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Khan took revenge for Nurhachi. Externally, he claimed to lead more than 100,000 troops, avoided Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and divided his troops into three ways to break through Xifengkou, Hongshankou, and Daankou on the middle road of Jizhen, and broke into the pass.

In the Warm Spring Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao urgently summoned the cabinet members and the six Shangshu, and at this time, everyone looked at the battle report in their hands with solemn faces.

"Cui Chengxiu, as the secretary of the Ming Dynasty, you are in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. Now that the enemy has entered the pass, I now suspect that it seems to be a big mistake for you to be the secretary of the military department."

Zhu Youxiao calmed the endless anger in his heart and lowered his voice, and at the same time, he also had infinite remorse in his heart.

Zhu Youxiao, who came from later generations, naturally knew that the Qing army had entered the customs several times, and the damage caused by it could be said to be more serious each time, and the entire northern part of the Ming Dynasty was in a mess, and he stabbed the already terminally ill Ming twice.

It's a pity that success is also history, defeat is also history, it is Zhu Youxiao, who knows history, that did not pay too much attention to the news of Houjin, but he did not expect that this entry was nearly two years earlier than in history, which also caught Zhu Youxiao off guard, so that all his plans failed.

As for what kind of virtuous person the current Houjin army is, when he thought of his own negligence, countless people in the dawn were devastated, and infinite remorse rose in Zhu Youxiao's heart.

"Your Majesty, this time Jiannu's entry into the customs was really unexpected, and it was definitely carefully planned, so that the Liaodong border army did not get any news."

If there is anyone who is the most anxious among the ministers here, it must be Choi Sung-so of the Ministry of War. As the secretary of the military department of the Ming Dynasty, according to later generations, he was the supreme commander of the Ministry of National Defense, and now that the enemy has entered the country, he has just gotten the news.

Although Cui Chengxiu said this again, there is a suspicion of shirking his responsibility, but it is indeed too unbelievable for Houjin to send troops.

Although most of Houjin's army was cavalry, it did not rely on roads as much as infantry. However, it is winter, and although the temperature has improved, it is still very cold. Whether it is the supply of grain and grass or the mobilization of troops, it is very difficult. Moreover, the army will inevitably take a long time to go on the expedition, and once the spring flowers bloom in spring, the melting of the snow will easily lead to muddy roads, which is not conducive to the mobile transfer of cavalry.

It is precisely because of the difficulty of the winter march that basically the war will not start in the winter. It is precisely because of this that the Liaodong Army will not pay too much attention to the movements of the Houjin army. Who would have thought that Huang Taiji would actually do the opposite and send troops in winter.

"Your Majesty, Lord Cui is indeed guilty of being the secretary of the Ministry of War, but Houjin sent troops too much in the opposite direction, and Lord Cui is too, I really didn't expect it, please be gracious."

Wu Chunfu, a member of the eunuch party, could only open his mouth to intercede.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Wu said is reasonable, the enemy army is now on the verge of the city, and changing generals before the war is a taboo for soldiers, and it is easy to cause the army to be unable to mobilize, it is better to let Lord Cui make meritorious service with the crime, and then punish him after this retreat."

Although Guo Yunhou is not accustomed to Cui Chengxiu's usual approach, it is not easy for the enemy to fall into the ground this time.

The Donglin Party wants to fall into the ground, but the enemy is currently in power, and once Cui Chengxiu steps down, how to reorganize the army and fight, he can only open his mouth to plead.

Although Zhu Youxiao is not a military expert, he also knows that it is not easy to march in winter. In addition, all the ministers in the court pleaded for mercy one by one, and it was not good to punish them again.

"If it weren't for the intercession of the ministers of the DPRK and China, I would have ripped off your official uniform today.

As a subordinate of the military department, you retreated from the enemy this time, if you do a good job, I will spare your life, if you don't do a good job, you can do it yourself."

Zhu Youxiao took a breath lightly, waved his hand, and looked at Cui Chengxiu expressionlessly.

"Wechen thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Cui Chengxiu had already burst into tears in her heart, "The baby is bitter in his heart."

If he is far away, Huang Taiji, who led the army into the customs, knows Cui Chengxiu's thoughts, and I believe that he can't wait to be a confidant.

will definitely hold Cui Chengxiu to say, "The baby is also bitter in his heart."
