If it is for his own selfishness, Dai Shan can sit on the sweat seat first, and then say, if anyone is not satisfied, the whole person who is not satisfied will be peaceful in the world. With such tough means, it is inevitable that there will be a fight, if it is a small fight, it is good to say, but if the fight is strong, the strength of the Jurchens will be damaged. Dai Shan is a person with a great sense of the overall situation, he can have a perfect way to unite the Jurchens, only by uniting the Jurchens can they dominate Liaodong and then the grassland, and then dominate the world like Genghis Khan of Mongolia It is not impossible, but the premise of thinking about everything is that he cannot sit on the throne of Khan.

When Dai Shan was in a dilemma, one morning, the Four Baylor Emperor Taiji sent someone to say that he wanted to have a good talk with Da Baylor, and Dai Shan thought about it and asked people to invite him.

In the afternoon, Huang Taiji came to Dai Shan's house, and when he came, his entourage was still holding a small box in his hand, which was not a gift he gave to Dai Shan, but something that Nurhachi gave him before he died. Seeing that Huang Taiji brought the small box over, Dai Shan asked, "What did Sibeile bring this thing for?" To tell you the truth, my brother is very interested in what my father Khan gave you, can you open it and let my brother feast his eyes? ”

Huang Taiji smiled and said: "I am very surprised by what Father Khan gave me, and today my younger brother came to ask Big Baylor to see what this thing is, and they all said that you must understand." ”

Dai Shan asked curiously, "Oh, is it something I know?" ”

Huang Taiji opened the small box and saw that there was a green silk cloth inside, and when the silk cloth was opened, a white square jade plaque was also engraved with the two Chinese characters "40,000". Dai Shan thought for a while and said, "Oh, I remember, this was given to his father Khan by a petty official surnamed Zhang in Ningyuan Pass, saying that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty asked him to hand it over." ”

Huang Taiji asked: "I don't know what the emperor of the Ming Dynasty meant by asking someone to transfer this jade plate to his father Khan?" What is this jade plate for? ”

Dai Shan said: "I heard that the little official surnamed Zhang said that this thing is called mahjong tiles, which is a bloodless way to fight on the table, and those officials in the Ming Dynasty are okay to play cards at home to see who is smart." According to the petty official surnamed Zhang, the emperor of the dynasty did not like to fight, and he told his father Khan to be interested in going to Beijing to compare his wisdom with him. ”

Dai Shan was stunned as soon as he finished speaking, than wisdom? Could it be that Father Khan meant that Huang Taiji was wiser than himself?

Seeing that Dai Shan was thoughtful, Huang Taiji asked, "What's wrong with Big Baylor?" But what comes to mind? ”

Dai Shan said softly: "I remembered that the sweat seat has been vacant. ”

Huang Taiji said: "Father Khan gave his waist knife to Da Beile, although he didn't say it explicitly, but he also had the meaning of letting Da Beile lead my Jurchens to unite and conquer the world, I don't know what Da Beile thinks?" Do you have the confidence and courage to do so? After speaking, he looked directly into Dai Shan's eyes.

Seeing that Huang Taiji asked Dai Shan without answering directly, he took a sip of milk tea and asked Huang Taiji: "Since Father Khan led us to raise troops, my Jurchen people have occupied the entire Liaodong in a few years, and now the Ming army is forced to be on the defensive, and the Mongolian tribes have also been suppressed and divided by me, and now my father Khan has been attacked and died, I don't know what Sibeile thinks my Jurchen should do next?" ”

Huang Taiji also took a sip of milk tea and said: "With all due respect, it is no problem for my Jurchens to fight everywhere in Liaodong, but if you want to continue to make a difference, you can't make enemies on all sides." Of course, it is good to try to expand the war when the surrounding enemies are weak, but now it is necessary to use all our strength against both the Mongol Khan Department and the Ming army, and sometimes we may not be able to win with all our strength, just as a few months ago we suffered huge losses in Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and now that the Ming army has actually attacked Anshan and attempted to attack Liubao, I think some changes should be made at this time. ”

Dai Shan asked: "Is this Si Baylor's own idea or everyone's idea?" ”

Huang Taiji said: "It's my idea, but everyone agrees." ”

Dai Shan thought for a while and said: "I understand the meaning of Sibeile, there is no problem for our forces to dominate Liaodong, but if we want to attack outward, we must concentrate our forces to attack one point, so according to what Sibeile sees, should we concentrate on attacking the Ming Dynasty?" Attack Mongolia? Or attack North Korea? Is it a defense or a draw on the other side when attacking a section? ”

Huang Taiji smiled lightly and said: "The Han people have a saying that 'there is no clear water without a soldier', and who should be attacked depends on their own conditions and the actual situation of the other party. However, in general, I think the main direction of attack should be Mongolia. However, whether it is offensive or defensive, it must be commanded in a unified manner, and now that the Khan's position is vacant, I am afraid that the attack and defense will not be effective. ”

Dai Shan laughed and said: "Actually, Brother Wei has been thinking about this problem for the past few days, and Brother Wei also wants to sit on the sweat seat, and the feeling of being high is much better than whispering to others." But after thinking about it, for the unity of the Jurchens, this Khan is a brother, and he can't sit and shouldn't sit. ”

As soon as Huang Taiji heard Dai Shan say that he didn't sit on the sweat seat, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked in a low voice: "Why did Da Baylor say this?" Why can't you sit and shouldn't sit? Who in your eyes is the one who can and should sit? ”

Dai Shan smiled and said: "I thought about it for my brother for a long time, and I began to figure it out, this sweat seat is only four beylers, you can sit and you should sit." ”

Seeing that Huang Taiji was a little rough when he heard his words, he smiled and said, "Sibeile, please sit down, listen to Brother Wei and tell you why I can't sit on this sweat seat." Judging from the current situation, the others are not counted, not only our four major Baylor's subordinates have their own people, the third Baylor Manggultai has publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with me, the second Baylor Amin has always had great ambitions, and once wanted to occupy Korea as the king, I also know, what do you think, I don't know, but I certainly won't support me easily, so that the big Baylors are not convinced of me, how can I sit on the throne? If I forcibly sit on it, everyone will disobey each other, and the internal struggle will weaken the strength of my Jurchens, and I don't think the Father Khan, in the spirit of heaven, will not allow it. ”

Huang Taiji asked: "The little brother of the Great Baylor Gao Feng Liangjie admires, so what should you say if you shouldn't sit?" ”

Dai Shan said: "You started to say that you can't make enemies on all sides and have to attack and defend at the same time, this idea is also very in line with the current situation, we can't do this anymore, we just know how to use knives to kill and learn to use our brains." In fact, Father Khan has long understood this truth, so he gave you this mahjong tile before he died. The meaning of giving me a knife is to ask my Jurchen to always remember that the knife in my hand is the most important thing, and whoever wants to bully us will use the knife in my hand to talk to him. Sending you mahjong tiles means that you want to learn from the people of the Ming Dynasty to fight wisdom with your head, or to fight wisdom with the people of the Ming Dynasty. The knife is fighting courage, mahjong cards are fighting wisdom, anyway, it depends on how everyone chooses, since everyone thinks that fighting wisdom is better, so this sweat seat should be you to sit. ”

Huang Taiji thought about it, stood up and bowed to Dai Shan and said: "Big Baylor began to say that everyone doesn't like to whisper to others, if the younger brother sits on the sweat seat, let a few brothers sit side by side with me to share the glory." ”

Just when the two brothers Huang Taiji and Dai Shan reached an agreement on fighting wits and courage, Mao Wenlong, who was far away on Phi Island, received the second order from the Military Affairs Yuan transferred by the Bohai Overseer King Zaijin to the Military Affairs Yuan, and the order asked the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army to make persistent efforts to continue the attack.

In the battle report a few days ago, Mao Wenlong summed up his experience and lessons this time, and the Military Affairs Yuan did not say anything after reading it, but only told him that the current salary of the imperial court is very sufficient, so that the remaining 15,000 people are ready to take turns to attack Liaodong, and the imperial court will not hesitate to reward meritorious soldiers. Of course, according to the original statement, half of the property obtained should be handed over to the imperial court, and the remaining half of the soldiers who participated in the war were equally divided into 40%, and the soldiers who did not participate in the war were equally divided into 10%, so as to stimulate their will to fight and **.

It is already the beginning of May, and Mao Wenlong, according to the instructions of the Military Affairs Yuan, decided to set off three days later, that is, after the Dragon Boat Festival, and the failure of the attack was that he committed the ** disease of liking to fight hard as soon as he attacked, and did not clearly pay attention to the spirit of saving himself first issued by the Military Affairs Yuan. Of course, the last time the practice of killing even livestock by any means was praised by the Military Affairs Yuan, as long as it can weaken the enemy's strength, everything is justified.

Since Mao Wenlong and Zu Dashou led the troops last time, this time they are ready to let the staff general Chen Jisheng lead the team. Chen Jisheng could have been promoted to deputy general, but because Zu Dashou came, his promotion was suspended, and this time he was given the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to pave the way for his promotion.
