When Dolgon excitedly escorted dozens of Dorotes to Daning, Huang Taiji was already sitting high in the city of Daning. He led tens of thousands of horses along the Laoha River all the way to the west, along the way encountered a hillside blocking the line of sight, first sent people up the mountain to explore the way, to find out that there was no ambush and then advanced, no up to the Laoha River and the Yangzi River confluence of the wide place before camping, and at the same time let people set up at the intersections to avoid the Mongols sneak attack, this careful arrangement made Lin Dan Khan's men and horses not find the opportunity to attack. Because Huang Taiji took nearly half the road that Dolgon had taken, he arrived in Daning earlier than Dolgon, who galloped quickly, even though he was careful to move forward.

As expected, Huang Taiji did not take the accidental killing of a few Ming soldiers seriously, but expressed disapproval of Dolgon's explanation of the Ming army's archery, he may think that the Mongols were about to collapse, and there was only a suitable excuse for the Ming Dynasty to turn around, and it was a good thing to have a little misunderstanding and friction.

In contrast, Huang Taiji was more interested in the dozens of Dorot captives, and he asked, "Didn't you say that there were at least two or three thousand people who ambushed us?" Why are there only a few dozen of them? ”

Dolgon said: "There are indeed more than 2,000 people, but only these dozens of people are good feet and hands, and the others are either killed in battle or cut down by me. ”

Huang Taiji nodded, looked at the dozens of captives, and asked, "Why are they all young men?" What about the elderly, women, and children? Where are the horses and other livestock? ”

Dolgon opened his mouth and said, "This is true, there must be some other place for them to rest." ”

Huang Taiji frowned and said: "I can not be injured in the thousands of troops and horses, it seems that these people are very good at protecting themselves are life-sparing people, pull them down and ask them well, who is willing to join me Dajin Ben Khan is rewarded, gold and silver, bulge, women, and slaves can satisfy him, the condition is to lead the way for me to find a resting place for the Dorotes, if I don't want to say it, immediately pull it and cut it, and Ben Khan will not leave useless people so as not to waste food." ”

Three days later, Huang Taiji, under the leadership of the surrendered Dorot people, found the residence of the Dorot Ministry, defeated the Dorot Ministry, captured tens of thousands of young and strong women and children, and tens of thousands of bulging livestock. Because of Dolgon's merit in capturing and destroying the enemy, Huang Taiji specially appointed Dolgon as Gushan Belle, replacing the disobedient Azig, and gave Dolgon the title of "Morgan Daiqing", which means both wisdom and bravery.

In fact, Azig is not very wrong, he is wrong in not making Huang Taiji look good at the critical moment. Huang Taiji has succeeded to the throne for more than two years, and the people who are clearly stabbing with him are basically almost made by him, and the rest of the people are not showing it in their hearts even if they are dissatisfied with him, and it is these forces of secret dissatisfaction that make Huang Taiji vigilant, he must find a way to make everyone closely rally around ♀ him, unity cannot be a superficial form, it must be wholeheartedly and sincerely attached, so that the Jurchens can become an unbreakable whole.

When there is no open opposition, those in power will generally openly win over some people to give them some benefits, so that everyone knows that as long as they are obedient, they can be taken care of ♀, and there is no need to consider whether it is fair or reasonable, and it can be said very confidently that this is the organization's care for the individual, and if you are shameless, you can also say a big truth, such as something, if you want a drop of water not to dry up, it is best to put your own drop of water into the sea, you have love for the organization, and the organization will naturally take care of you when necessary. When people listen to it, they are very moved, and they will naturally move closer to the organization, that is, to those in power.

In fact, what the people in power don't know is that what the masses need most is not the care given in the name of the organization, but the need for a fair system, which can prompt people to adjust the state to do things and earn money according to their own wishes, that is, to live a dignified life ↓ The income of the people has to be obtained by the care of the organization, and everyone is not thinking about how to do things with dignity every day, but thinking about how to wagging their tails to please the people in power, which is not a practice worthy of spurning. Of course, it's not that all those in power don't know, or that sentence is ignorance, and it is shameless to know that you still have to do this.

Huang Taiji obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this, he rewarded Dolgon with the title in addition to rewarding his military exploits, but also to win over, uniting the majority to fight against a very small number is something that any normal monarch understands, and those who don't understand this truth can't become monarchs if they go against the vast majority of people, or they can't sit in that position for long. Huang Taiji wooed Dolgon and punished the disobedient Azig at the same time, one is to show other people, and at the same time, it also has the meaning of testing Azig, how can he bear the heavy responsibility in the future if he can't stand any grievances? Fortunately, Azig has no complaints, at least on the surface.

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the eighth year of the Apocalypse, in the Wuying Hall of Beijing City, Tianqi was listening to Sun Chengzong's report on the Jurchens' night attack on the outposts along the Daling River in the Military Affairs Yuanyuan, and there were also Ni Yuanlu, the supervisor of the Beijing Military Region, and Huang Daozhou, the supervisor of the Northeast Military Region. Apocalypse is listening to King Xin's arrangement for this year's big competition, and then the Military Affairs Yuan, after the Apocalypse opened the department for five years, and now three years have passed, and many people are gearing up to get a good score in the exam, and the carp jumps over the dragon gate, and the Apocalypse asks the Government Affairs Yuan and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to jointly prepare, in addition to electing some capable ministers as before, but also to find out some people who govern things.

But no matter how busy the government affairs are, it is not as urgent as military affairs, and when he heard the report that the northern border was not in charge, Tianqi asked King Xin, Gao Panlong, Liu Zongzhou and others to discuss a plan, and then brought people to the Military Affairs Yuan. Hearing Sun Chengzong say that the sentry fort between Lianghekou and Lingyuan was killed by someone in the sky, and the Jurchens wrote a letter saying that it was a manslaughter, Tianqi asked, "What does Sir think about this?" ”

Sun Chengzong said: "According to the information obtained by all parties, it is expected that the Mongols are planting blame, but the Jurchens are not a good thing, not to mention bringing tens of thousands of people to pass by, and they are still showing off their might outside the mouth of the two rivers, it seems that our good days are over and we are ready to fight." ”

Because the incident happened in Liaodong, seeing the apocalypse, Huang Daozhou said: "In the past, because the blatant mobilization of the army would cause unease among the Mongols, so after the construction of the fortresses along the river, they secretly sent troops in, and now since such a thing has happened, we have ordered to increase the number of men and horses to patrol openly along the river, and the Jurchens and the Mongols dare not guarantee whether they will come, but there will definitely be no time for a sneak attack like the previous one'The letter of the real person is consistent with the situation on the ground, It should be the Mongols who acted first against us, and the Jurchens who were blind in the dark came later. ”

Tianqi asked: "Regardless of whether this matter is the fault of the Jurchens or the Mongols, do you just say that there is anyone who apologizes for this matter?" ”

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said: "Everyone is shirking responsibility, it is estimated that no one will apologize for this matter, and looking at the meaning of the Jurchen letter, the accidental killing of the Ming army is only a trivial matter for them, and there is no sense of apology and how to make up for it in the future, it seems to be the fault of our side." ”

Tianqi thought for a while and asked: "The year before last, the Mongols killed 3,000 of us at the mouth of the two rivers, and they said that they wanted to find the murderer at that time, and now there is nothing to say, right?" ”

Sun Chengzong said: "This is true, not long ago Lin Dan Khan sent someone to say, after more than a year of investigation found that it was indeed the Mongols who killed the Ming army, and it was also the Ao Han and Naiman people who inserted the Han headquarters, but these two departments had already taken refuge in the Jurchens in July last year." ”

Apocalypse let out a sigh of relief and said: "Whoever does something bad to us, we should fight back, otherwise there will be one or two, in order not to have the same situation again, let's discuss and set a tone first, and then call those from the Military Staff Office over and let them make a plan." Not to mention the previous ones, there were Mongols and Jurchens who attacked us this time, and we must deal a certain blow to them all so that they can remember it for a long time, and don't play with us like fools. ”

Sun Chengzong said: "Since the emperor has said this, what else is there to discuss? Anyway, everyone else is out, and the ministers are left, and the ministers think that they are not rude, and they must fight back against them. It's just that we must pay attention to what range to control, and we are not ready for large-scale fighting yet, and Cao Wenzhao's cavalry is all sent to the Northwest Military Region, and the soldiers guarding the city and guarding the pass must not be allowed to ride the inferior mules and horses to fight on the grassland. ”

Seeing the apocalypse nodding, Sun Chengzong asked people to call Zhang Xiangan and Chen Qiyu over, and people were sent from all over the country to supervise the army, and Sun Chuanting was also sent to Ma Shilong in the northwest. After they finished reading the incident record document that Sun Chengzong handed them, Sun Chengzong asked: "The emperor has decided to fight back against the Jurchens and the Mongols, just to control the situation, and the two of you will talk about what to do." ”

Zhang Xiangan thought for a while and said: "There is no certainty in the victory with the Jurchens on the grassland, and the only way to fight them is to start from their nests, just like Mao Wenlong did in the area of Jinzhou and Changdian Kuandian, and only fight a sure battle if he is injured." As for the Mongols, they don't know why they do this, as long as a person is not a madman, then he has a certain purpose in doing things, and we must first find his true purpose before we can do it in one blow. ”

Chen Qiyu said at this time: "Although the affairs of the Mongols are elusive, we should first settle the Duoyan Department in the side wall, the emperor aims to build a border wall from the mouth of the two rivers to the mouth of Xifeng and Gubeikou, and even the original Great Wall will be divided into three parts ☆ The people outside are mixed with the Karaqin people, or they originally thought they were Karaqin people, and the second part of the people raised horses and swelled but had contact with the people outside. Once they fight with the Mongols, they will not be allowed to respond. ”

Apocalypse said, "Good! That Zhang Xiangan is in charge of the Jurchens, Chen Qiyu is in charge of the Mongols, you make a plan and we will act immediately. ”
