"What's going on in Golden State?" As soon as Huang Taiji saw the messenger, his face sank, and he asked sharply.

Although it was relatively smooth in the direction of Ningjin, the ancestral army was basically wiped out, and there was a lack of military force to harass the Qing Dynasty. However, North Korea, which does not want to have problems the most, has already had problems, and now there are problems on the Jinzhou side?

Seriously, at this time, Huang Taiji was a man with two big heads, not because he was fat, but because he was upset.

In the Chongzheng Palace, the other Manchu leaders also had unsightly faces. At least at this time, they are not naïve enough, and Dai Shan's side is here to report the victory.

Sure enough, I heard the messenger immediately forward the letter, and my colleague reported: "Ban Zhifu, a subordinate general of King Zhishun, was found outside Jinzhou City, and according to his report, King Zhishun had committed suicide under the siege of Korea!" ”

Hearing this, although Huang Taiji's face was still not good-looking, people who were more careful, such as Fan Wencheng, could see that Huang Taiji was actually a little relieved.

After the North Korea cut off the messenger's nose and expelled it, it was known that King Zhishun, who remained in Korea, was afraid that he would be more than lucky. Therefore, it is not surprising to hear that Shang Kexi committed suicide at this time.

Poor Shang Kexi was dedicated to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he wanted to serve his new master well, and now he didn't know until he died, his death actually didn't make any waves in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and not many people cared about his life or death.

Seeing that Huang Taiji quickly finished reading the letter of Dai Shan, he then lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly frowned and asked, "How did this class of Zhifu appear outside Jinzhou City?" ”

The rest of the temple had this doubt, and they all wanted to know, so they all looked to the messenger.

"Back to Your Majesty, according to what that class Zhifu said, they were originally going to be escorted to the Ming Kingdom, and after arriving in the waters of Jinzhou, they jumped into the sea and fled back." The messenger replied respectfully.

These people did not understand the situation at sea, so they did not suspect it. Otherwise, some people will surely wonder if it is so easy to escape by jumping into the sea.

In fact, Ban Zhifu was afraid that the army would take the initiative to let the two of them go, which would cause unnecessary trouble. For example, some people will not believe it, and they will ask why the Ming army let the two of them go? Did the two of them reach some agreement with the Ming army? Anyway, there are a lot of questions, and some of them are not easy to answer. Therefore, it is better to lie and say that it is better to jump into the sea and escape!

When Huang Taiji heard this, he asked again: "Did Ban Zhifu say anything else?" What about the situation in North Korea? ”

In Dai Shan's recital, there are naturally relevant descriptions. However, Huang Taiji was not satisfied, so he wanted to ask to see if there was more news.

So, the messenger introduced it again, and it was probably similar to the content of the Daizen Concerto. However, when he came to the end, he hesitated a little, and didn't seem to know whether to say it or not.

When Huang Taiji saw it, he shouted: "No matter what the news, there must be no concealment!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" When the messenger heard this, his expression tightened, and he hurriedly replied, "According to Ban Zhifu's confession, he heard that Zhengbaiqi Gushan Ezhen surrendered to the Ming army, and he was also escorted to the Ming Jingshi. However, he did not see it with his own eyes, and the Jinzhou side agreed that this must be the Ming army sowing discord, so no one believed this rumor. ”

"Definitely, how could Ying Ordai surrender to the Ming army, and his head has not been caught by the door!" When Dodor heard this, he immediately chimed in, "He must have died in battle!" ”

"Yes, my Qing Dynasty has never surrendered to the Ming army. Ying Ordai is at least a man, and he will definitely not surrender! Azig shouted as well.

It would be ironic if there were such high-ranking officials in the Qing Dynasty who would surrender to the Ming army.

Even Gushan Ezhen Turge, who was inlaid with a white flag before, did not surrender to the Ming army, but was captured and finally escaped.

“……”

Listening to the comments of the people below, Huang Taiji frowned, and after a long while, he nodded and concluded: "I think that Ying Erdai will definitely not surrender to the Ming army, and nine times out of ten he will be killed in battle!" The main reason why the Ming army wanted to fabricate this lie was to undermine the morale of our Qing army and people! Jinzhou's way of dealing with it is right, this kind of thing, you can't take it out for discussion, you have to believe me Daqing, there is no soft bone! ”

After the conclusion was reached, there was nothing to do with the messenger, and when he retreated, Huang Taiji asked everyone in the palace again, how to deal with the affairs of North Korea?

His question was asked, and it immediately attracted angry replies from a bunch of people.

"Your Majesty, it goes without saying that North Korea dares to betray our Qing Dynasty, and we must teach it a hard lesson!"

"Yes, if you want your brother's intentions, just destroy North Korea, lest they come and go repeatedly!"

"Yes, immediately send troops to destroy North Korea, and this is the fate of daring to betray the Qing Dynasty!"

“……”

Huang Taiji listened to their almost one-sided words and nodded, he himself meant the same. When North Korea did that, it simply didn't take the Qing Dynasty and him, the Qing emperor, into account. This kind of thing is definitely punishable severely.

But just when he wanted to speak, he suddenly saw Fan Wencheng frowning, bowing his head and pondering. Suddenly, his heart moved, and then he asked, "Why didn't Fan Qing speak?" Tell me what you think? ”

Being named by Huang Taiji, of course Fan Wencheng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down and played: "Your Majesty, a slave also means, anything that dares to rebel against the Qing Dynasty must be severely punished, and it cannot be effectively imitated!" But ......"

Huang Taiji was nodding when he heard this, and suddenly heard a turn, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "But what?" “

"But the minions thought that it was not good for North Korea to send troops immediately......

Before Fan Wencheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Duoduo: "Is there something wrong with your brain?" Can this kind of thing be delayed? Do you want to drag it slowly and then stop it? Say, how much benefit do you usually receive from North Koreans? “

"......" Fan Wencheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, but he quickly came back to his senses and immediately shouted: "The prince must not spew blood, the slave is loyal to His Majesty, how can he do such illegal things!" ”

Huang Taiji believed him, immediately stopped questioning, and then asked Fan Wencheng to continue.

"Your Majesty, that's what the slave thinks. Now North Korea is because of the support of the Ming army that it will rebel against our Qing Dynasty. The minions thought that whether it was North Korea or the Ming army, they must know that our Qing Dynasty would not give up, and they must be doing their best to guard against the retaliation of our Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the slave felt that if I sent troops to the Qing Dynasty at this time, it would be within the expectation of the Korean and Ming armies, so that the effect of the war might not be as great as imagined, and once the war dragged on for a long time, the consumption of grain and grass materials for my Qing Dynasty would be very large. “

When Fan Wencheng said this, seeing Huang Taiji's thoughtful appearance, he continued to add: "Therefore, the slave feels that it is better to take it by surprise, and wait for the North Koreans to loosen up, or if the Ming army is pinned down and cannot rescue North Korea, my Qing Dynasty will suddenly send troops to North Korea, maybe it will be twice the result with half the effort!" ”

In the Chongzheng Palace, many people felt that Fan Wencheng was reasonable, but Duoduo, who had strongly requested to send troops just now, retorted a little angrily: "Isn't it just North Korea, why do you need to be so careful?" It doesn't matter if he is prepared or not, he will kill directly in Seoul, and there will be no problem at all! ”

When Fan Wencheng heard this, he patiently explained: "Lord Wang, it's not that I can't win the Qing Dynasty, but the price to pay to win this war. If it's just North Koreans, you really don't have to calculate. However, the strength of the Ming army in Liaodong is still a bit strong, and it has been proved by at least one battle. Be careful, or better! ”

When Duoduo heard this, he was a little unconvinced, so he was ready to fight even the Ming army. However, Huang Taiji didn't give him a chance to speak, so he heard him say to Fan Wencheng: "Yes, Fan Qing is reasonable, now I have a big clear grain and grass materials is the top priority, and this must be considered." ”

When he said this, he suddenly saw Dolgon come out of the column and played to him: "Your Majesty, my brother thinks that it is better to bluff, station troops on the Korean border, and exaggerate the strength of troops, so that North Korea's war readiness will not be relaxed, and at the same time, it can also drag down the Ming army's tension. But I am in the Qing Dynasty, what should I do or what I should do, and when the time is almost right, I will gather heavy troops to defeat the slackened North Korea! ”

Hearing this, Huang Taiji couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed loudly: "Good, good, this method is good!" ”

Seeing that he was happy, Zilharang also joined in the fun and said: "Your Majesty, you can also send a small force of troops into North Korea to fight the Winter Valley, and try to weaken North Korea's war preparedness." If you can, focus on coastal areas. In this way, if the Ming army wants to get supplies from Korea, it will have to be shipped from a farther distance, which is also a blow to the North Korean and Ming army! ”

Huang Taiji was even happier when he heard it, and he said that it was okay, and if he asked again, there was not much to add. Therefore, in response to the betrayal of North Korea this time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty also gave a corresponding strategy, and soon began to implement it.

……………

The days passed slowly, and soon, it was time for the New Year.

However, the Manchu army did not stop, and it is said that with 100,000 troops, they were ready to cross the Yalu River in winter, preparing to destroy Korea in one fell swoop. This made the North Korean side very afraid, and while ordering all parts of the country to prepare for war, they urgently sent people to Phi Dao to ask for help.

However, these movements have little impact on the Golden State. What they were doing, they are still doing.

No, King Gongshun and King Huaishun are secretly drinking together again.

After a while, Kong Youde suddenly said to Geng Zhongming: "Don't pay too much attention to those clowns who jump off the beam, Prince Li has already reprimanded them." ”

When Geng Zhongming heard this, he sighed and shook his head and said, "I know, I don't care about that little thing." ”

Before, the Ming army suddenly attacked Jinzhou, and in order to keep Jinzhou, he ordered the city gate to be closed as soon as possible, and some of the family members and supervisors of Jianju were locked outside the city. Some were killed by the Ming army; Yes, he later exchanged it for the Han slaves in the city. However, whether it was the ones who were killed or those who were replaced, they were not grateful to Geng Zhongminggan, on the contrary, they all had very big opinions about him. After Dai Shan's army returned, he went to Dai Shan's side to complain. said that Geng Zhongming had fornicated with the Ming army and demanded severe punishment.

However, Dai Shan was quite sensible, and after asking what happened, he did not punish Geng Zhongming. But all the Han slaves in Jinzhou were rescued by the Ming army, and there was no labor, so Dai Shan couldn't be happy. Therefore, Dai Shan did not severely reprimand those who complained.

As a result, although those people did not sue Geng Zhongming, they still did not give up and began to look for Geng Zhongming and his subordinates. In this regard, Geng Zhongming had no choice but to endure it, and did not dare to conflict with the Jianzhou Jurchens.

At this time, after he finished speaking, he saw that Kong Youde was still a little worried, so he had to say truthfully: "I really didn't ...... for this in my heart."

Speaking of this, he looked around, in the empty courtyard, it was clear at a glance where the two of them were guarded only in the distance, so he lowered his voice and said to Kong Youde: "You say, before Shang Kexi died, was it true or false?" Can people really see anything before they die? “

As soon as he heard this, Kong Youde himself was silent, and after drinking a glass of stuffy wine, he shook his head and said: "It should be because we drank too much, haven't we all almost died several times, and how can we see anything!" “

"That's different!" When Geng Zhongming heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "We don't really have to die!" King Yama must know this. I mean, if you were to die, would you see something? Shang Kexi is one of them, I've heard of it before, and others seem to have encountered it! “

When Kong Youde heard this, he seemed to be a little irritable, his buttocks twisted, he didn't sit firmly, he suddenly threw his chopsticks on the table, sighed, looked at Geng Zhongming and said, "Even if you see it, what?" Do we want to do it? If it were possible, would we get to where we are now? “

Seeing Kong Youde like this, Geng Zhongming answered in the affirmative, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "They ...... They should understand, right? “

Speaking of this, he suddenly changed his words, and said with a slightly uncomfortable expression: "In the past two days, I have dreamed of the past, and even dreamed of when I was a child. But... But then it became a nightmare! ”

When Kong Youde heard this, he was stunned for a while, and then he sighed and said: "After hearing what that class Zhifu said, I also dreamed of my father, my brother, and Mao Shuai, and I dreamed of many people...... Alas! ”

After a long sigh, Kong Youde went to pour wine from the jug again, but found that there was no wine in the jug, so he sighed and said: "Now that even wine is restricted, I'm afraid there will be no wine to drink these days!" ”

Geng Zhongming did not take the topic, but lowered his head and was silent for a while, and suddenly raised his head and asked Kong Youde in a low voice: "Zu Dashou is gone, Shang Kexi is gone, and North Korea has returned to the Ming Kingdom, and it is so blatant." Now it has really changed a lot, what do you think, how will the situation in Liaodong develop? ”
