It turned out that in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty and the fifth year of Chongde in the Manchu calendar, on the first day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Huang Taiji led the army to Yizhou City. Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng walked side by side, along the way, they saw that the barren grass of the past had been extended into fertile fields, the ground had grown corn, sorghum, millet and other green seedlings, rows of newly built houses were curling with smoke, and the barking of chickens, ducks, geese and dogs could be heard from time to time. He raised his whip and pointed at the tunsha: "Prince Zheng's day has passed. ”

Fan Wencheng suddenly sighed: "I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled people." When the Qing Dynasty unified the sea and put the swords and guns into Kuma and put it in Nanshan, the ministers returned to the mountains and forests, and went to live this peaceful life of spring ploughing, summer cultivation, autumn harvest, and winter hiding. ”

Huang Taiji said: "Fan Aiqing, you just want to think about it, if you really enter the Central Plains in the future, it is impossible to put Nanshan swords and guns into the warehouse." The world has fallen, how to sit firmly, is still a big article. This year, Bomu Bogol of the Sauron Department did not come to the court, Zasak Khan sent a lama to pay his respects, and did not offer the tribute of Jiubai, how many courtiers in the Central Plains such as Zhang Quan and Zhang Chun were there? Every time I think of this, I often feel like I am walking on thin ice. ”

Fan Wencheng said: "The emperor can be prepared for danger in times of peace, and be cautious until the end, and the real generation of Ming Jun is also." ”

Huang Taiji said: "I don't dare to be a generation of Ming monarchs, I just want to be able to keep the stall left by the first emperor." ”

"What about holding on? The emperor has carried forward the cause of the first emperor and become a great country, and he is only waiting to enter the Central Plains. ”

Fan Wencheng has a special affection for Huang Taiji, and for almost 30 years, the two get along very well. Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng spent several times more time together than with Empress Zhezhe. Fan Wencheng admired the emperor Taiji from the bottom of his heart, knew the grace of the encounter, and respected the monarch, turned into a dedication to repay the service, he felt extremely lucky to meet a generation of Ming Jun in his lifetime: "Emperor, throughout the ages, how many people have not met talents, and finally died of old age in Lin Quan, but Wen Cheng was able to meet the Ming Lord, accompany the king, listen to the holy teachings, and be extremely trusted by the emperor, this life is enough." ”

Huang Taiji's heart was also hot, and he could hear that Fan Wencheng was not flattering, but saying in his heart: "It is precisely because of the encounter between you and me that the Great Qing Kingdom can exist today." ”

"Your Majesty, you must not say that, the minister is just doing his best."

"Let these words be left to posterity, ho, look, Zilharang and they are coming."

In Jierharang's line, Huang Taiji and others are tasting the harvest of Tuntian: scrambled eggs with leeks and stewed pork with cabbage.

Huang Taiji was interested: "If you can collect 1.8 million stones last autumn, you will solve a big problem." ”

Hauge had been restored to the post of Prince Su because of his meritorious entry into the customs, and he was once again in charge of the household department, and he praised on the side: "In this way, it not only saves the cost of transportation, but also saves a lot of labor suffering, and kills many birds with one stone." ”

Huang Taiji said: "The Ming army is different, they still have to be lucky, if they continue to fight like this, it won't take long to drag down the finances of the Ming Kingdom." Zu Chengzheng's suggestion to Tuntian was really a good strategy to break the arms of the Southern Dynasty. ”

Huang Taiji asked, "Prince Zheng, what is the mood of those people who came from Guannei?" ”

Zilharang replied, "It's all right, there is food to eat, clothes to wear, and everything is peaceful." However, there are always individuals who do not stop. ”

Huang Taiji said: "It is said that it is a military tun, but in fact, it mainly depends on them." Therefore, they must not be too bitter, they must not starve to death, they cannot exhaust people, and they cannot beat people to death. They must not be separated from their families, and those who have no women must find a way to match them with a woman, and if they have a family, they can take root. ”

Zilharang played: "Your Majesty, since the beginning of the spring, there has been a continuous flow of internal refugees, and the courtiers and brothers have been settled, I don't know if it should be?" ”

Huang Taiji frowned slightly: "How did they escape?" ”

"The minister asked, it's from the area of Malanzhuang on the side of Yongping Mansion in Guannei, and most of them are from Zhili."

"This is a flight at the risk of my life, and I probably can't survive in my hometown. Since they came, of course, they must be resettled, but they must strictly control their interactions, and they are not allowed to go out. ”

"Oh, my brother remembered." Zilharang bowed his head in response

Huang Taiji was about to say a few more words of encouragement, when suddenly a eunuch came at a hurried trot and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest brother has a secret book to play. ”

"Take it to me!" Huang Taiji frowned

"Chirp~" The little eunuch handed over the notebook with both hands

Huang Taiji unfolded the book and looked at it, and the smile on his face suddenly turned into anger, "Hmph~ bold and reckless, come here, prepare the horse, and return to Shengjing"

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

In order to take Jinzhou, Huang Taiji formulated a grand strategy of besieging the city and sending reinforcements. Huang Taiji's siege strategy for Jinzhou was to change every three months, and now it happened that Dolgon was in charge of besieging Jinzhou. Since the two white flags were sent to Korea by Duoduo with 20,000 soldiers and horses, the number of soldiers with the two white flags used to besiege Jinzhou was very tight, and the encirclement was not very tight.

During the three months of the siege of Zilharang, not even a single fly could fly in Jinzhou. So that the city is exhausted, and people's hearts are floating. When it came to Dolgon, the young and enthusiastic Dolgon clearly did not like such a war of attrition.

For more than a month, no matter how provocative Dolgon was, Zu Dashou would not come out of Jinzhou City.

The Ming army in the city still didn't move, and all the soldiers couldn't hold their breath. Abatai got a jar of wine out of nowhere, and he secretly asked Dudu, Shuotuo, Ye Keshu and others to drink in the tent to relieve their boredom.

Drinking to the rise, Shuo Tuo said: "The emperor is really evil, you know that this is not a wild boar, you have surrounded the Daling River, and you have come to surround Jinzhou, can't you let us fight happily?" It's not me boasting, if I take the lead, I will definitely be able to conquer Jinzhou City in less than three days. ”

Although Abatai was older, he was even more of a temper tantrum, and he raised his neck, drank half a bowl of wine, and then put the bowl on the table, and shouted: "What kind of bird war is this, and if it goes on like this, it will suffocate people to death." ”

Ye Keshu was also a little impatient, he held the wine bowl and said to himself: "Yes, when will it be a head if you go around like this?" If there is enough food in the city to feed for two years, we will not be able to surround it for two years. ”

Everyone was talking about it, but Du Du said: "It's useless for you to say those words, you still dare to disobey the things set by the emperor?" We have to be patient, around, good around, but we can change the way. ”

Everyone heard what he said: "What is the change of method?" Du Du lowered his voice and said his idea. Abatai was the first to agree: "Okay, don't delay things, I see it's okay." ”

Shuo Tuo smiled: "Just count your ideas a lot." ”

"Don't care if it's a ghost idea, you just say you can't make up this one!" Du Du laughed

"Okay~" Shuoto nodded

Huang Taiji, who was far away in Shengjing, was afraid that the soldiers besieging the city would slack off, so he sent an exhortation almost three days to warn Dolgon and others that they must strictly besiege the city, get closer and closer, gradually narrow the encirclement, and form a gradual momentum, and never fall short.

Dolgon was reading Huang Taiji's edict, but he was thinking about Duoduo in Korea, and he didn't know how he would get from this trip.

Shuo Tuo happened to come in at this time, "I've seen Uncle Fourteen~"

"Shuotuo~" Dolgon handed Huang Taiji's letter to Shuotuo, and Shuotuo took it and read it hastily: "It's still around, pressing step by step." Wai, wai, wai, when is it a head? This battle is really boring. If you continue to surround it like this, it will be difficult to bring the soldiers. ”

Dolgon smiled and said nothing

"Uncle Fourteen, if you want me to think it's better than this, let's also have a rotation."

Dolgon's heart moved: "What a rotation." ”

"Anyway, the Ming army in the city can't run, let's draw fifty people from each Niu Lu and take turns to go home, first, we can't miss the siege, and second, we can also comfort the soldiers and soldiers who are homesick."

Dolgon bowed his head and thought to himself, "That's a good idea. He hesitated: "The emperor wants us to press step by step." ”

"Zu Dashou can still grow wings and fly? After the New Year, let's just press forward step by step, anyway, the emperor won't let us attack. ”

"This is contrary to the emperor's decree, what should I do if the emperor blames him?"

"The generals are not subject to the orders of the foreign monarchs, and we are doing this to protect morale."

Dolgon was still not at ease: "What do you think of your seventh uncle?" ”

Shuoto clapped his hands, and Abatai led everyone to rush in: "Fourteenth brother, we all agree to do this. ”

Dorgon laughed, "So you're all in trouble. Okay, then each cow will first draw fifty people, and go back one batch every day, and each batch will be limited to eight days. There must be no delay. ”

Eight days later, the besieging force was reduced by more than 5,000 men, and most of them were small leaders, and Dolgon, fearing that the enemy would take advantage of them, quietly retreated thirty miles. The soldiers in the city found that the Qing army was retreating and hurriedly reported Zu Dashou. Zu Dashou climbed to the top of the city and looked at the Qing camp: What tricks did the Qing army play? In the second half of the night, the sentries came back to report that no Qing troops had been found within 30 miles. Zu Dashou was secretly surprised, he was worried about the end of firewood and grass in the city, the sky has eyes, and every time it is critical, there is heaven to help me.

He immediately ordered 2,000 soldiers to go out of the city, to cut the willow feathers and reeds in the area of Xiaolinghe Bay, to plow the stubble of the crops in the fields, and to pack up everything that could be used to make a fire into the city. Some brave soldiers actually went up to Hongluo Mountain, cut back a lot of real firewood, and in less than a day's effort, they actually got nearly half a month's worth of firewood and grass. The soldiers were all smiling, the chimneys in the camp were smoking again, and the people were in a warm mood with the fire.

The first to learn that Dolgon and their small rotation were Hauge, who was ordered to lead two Yellow Banner soldiers and horses to reinforcements. Huang Taiji knew that 20,000 people had been transferred from the two white flags, and the troops were insufficient, so he specially sent his eldest son Hao Ge to lead some of the soldiers and horses of the two yellow flags to support. How do you know that Haoge has not yet arrived in Jinzhou, and along the way, he kept seeing the two white flags and the soldiers and horses of the other flags that were supposed to besiege Jinzhou were returning home in a group. After inquiring, I found out that Dolgon had made a small move in Jinzhou without authorization

The news of Dolgon's disobedience to military orders was included in a book by Hauge, Hauge is very good at writing, and the League of Iraq around him will also polish Hauge's language, and the two of them are a raccoon dog and a dead friend. Yimeng is a celebrity around Huang Taiji, and he is the commander of the two yellow flags, that is, the commander-in-chief of Huang Taiji's army, which shows Huang Taiji's trust in him. And Hauge is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, with a resume of military exploits, and is a strong candidate for the future throne. It was precisely because of this that the League of Iraq took a fancy to it that it formed a coalition with Hauge. Two people take what they need. Hauge was very jealous of Dolgon, because Hauge was always under Dolgon despite his outstanding military achievements, and Dolgon could not show Hauge, as the so-called mountain could not accommodate two tigers, so Hauge was against Dolgon everywhere, although Dolgon was Hauge's fourteenth uncle, but the two were of the same age. As for the relationship between the Islamic League and Dolgon, it is constantly being cut and straightened out.
