The controversy in the court has always been accustomed to thunder and rain, and when Shi Kefa and a group of important ministers watched Chongzhen gradually calm down, they began to admonish, and the countermeasures they secretly communicated with were stated one by one.

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen weighed the two trade-offs, and in the gloom, he was persuaded by this group of old foxes in the court, temporarily put aside his grievances against Hongmen, and maintained the relationship with Hongmen.

Hongmen soon received the attitude from the cabinet of the court and Emperor Chongzhen, although the allies of the six Hongmen of the cabinet earlier, with Nanju Yi returning to his hometown, or drawing a clear line, so that Hongmen's ears and eyes in the high-level of the court became closed, but in the middle and low-level Hongmen bribed officials, they can also understand the general content of what happened during the court discussion in the later days.

Daming's reaction was expected by the Hongmen Secretariat, and at the same time, it also made Li Tianyang's heart somewhat relaxed, and he could turn his face with Daming later, for Hongmen, after all, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

In more distant places beyond the Ming Dynasty, forces such as Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng of the Great Western Dynasty are also paying attention to the changes in the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Hongmen.

"It's a shame......"

Zhang Xianzhong, the murderous demon king, attacked the city and plundered the land after entering Sichuan, centered on the Chengdu Plain in the southwest, and established a peasant regime on a par with Dashun Li Zicheng.

At this time, his spy system also received the news that Dayuan Island was not blocked, originally they wanted to see the drama of Daming and Hongmen turning their faces, but they didn't think that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty could endure this breath and let Hongmen be a maverick, and at the same time constantly challenged the existence of Daming's bottom line.

"Forget it, since he Chongzhen can endure this breath, I, Zhang Xianzhong, have been on the battlefield for so many years, am I still afraid of a Hongmen who doesn't even dare to turn his face?"

After smiling contemptuously, Zhang Xianzhong flipped through this spy report from the Ming Dynasty Tang, turned his head and flipped through another piece of music, and began to review it.

Such a scene happened again in Chang'an City of the Dashun Dynasty, but the protagonist was changed from Zhang Xianzhong to another soil emperor - Li Zicheng.

After all, Hongmen does not border Daxi and Dashun, and even the Ming Dynasty, which is close at hand, can still tolerate the existence of Hongmen and others, so the two peasant dynasties in the far northwest naturally only pay a little attention to it, but they don't make too many moves.

At this moment, outside the Northeast Pass, which Li Tianyang of Hongmen attaches the most importance to, between the vast jungles and fields north of Shengjing, Prince Rui Dolgon is leading the last complete army of the Qing Dynasty to fight fiercely with the Yehesakchi who has already engulfed and annexed countless tribes!

"Patriarch, the grain and grass transported by the Hongmen Qixin Hall is less than half a month's worth for our army, and I don't know when the next batch of grain and grass supplies will come, shall we?"

In the camp of Yehebu Sakchi, Sakchi, who had just retreated from a fierce battle with the Dolgon Department of the Qing Dynasty, was listening to the report of his subordinates.

"I went and invited Mr. Cao Yi to come over, and I said that I had something to discuss."

For the Hongmen liaison who acted with the army, Sakchi was just polite at first, after all, he took the benefits of others and there are more places to ask for in the future, so it is always right to entertain people.

But in addition, Sakchi never allowed Cao Yi and his team to leave their own Chinese army and leave their control.

At the beginning of the battle with Aixinjue Luo's army, Sakqi's team can be said to be invincible, with countless results, at this time, in the territory of the Qing Dynasty, the army was scarce, and the internal air defense was weak, and it happened to be taken advantage of by Sakchi with his cavalry.

However, as the Qing Dolgon withdrew from the south and spent all its forces on suppressing the cavalry of the Sakchi Yehe tribe, Sakchi's troops gradually began to suffocate, and even gradually suffered more defeats, and fewer victories.

Aixinjue Luo's ability to sit firmly in the position of the Jurchen co-lord is not just a waste of fame, in addition to the founding lord Nurha Chi Xiong, who is talented and talented, the sons born to him are also talented, and the emperor is very talented, all of them are fine; Daishan and Amin fought bravely, had the courage to be unstoppable, and were invincible; And his youngest son is quite like his brother Huang Taiji, and he has made great achievements in politics, and his military command talent is also superior.

On the other hand, after the two major leaders of Jinshitai and Buyangu were defeated by Nurhachi one after another, the powerful Yehe tribe began to split, some of them attached to the Aixinjue Luo clan and became the dogs in their hands, and some of them were like the Yitong tribe Sakchi, lurking in the primeval jungle, suffering from the injustice of Aixinjue Luo and other people every day, and letting them exploit them.

Sack's own talent can only be regarded as a medium-class talent, and it may not be a problem for his generals to charge into battle, but to ask him to formulate a well-designed and confidential battle plan, it can only be dumbfounded.

Of course, the only advantage of cavalry is that it is extremely mobile, it can detect unfavorable situations in battle early, and as long as a small number of soldiers are sacrificed, it can always maintain the possibility of losing its main combat effectiveness in a big battle.

You must know that in the army of the Qing Dynasty, the number of cavalry has been the lowest period since the rise of the Jurchens in Jianzhou, and at this time, under the command of Dolgon, who was the commander of the rebellion of the Yehe tribe, the number of cavalry was only 10,000, and the rest were infantry troops.

After several defeats in major wars, it was natural that the people under the command of Sakchi and the various tribal alliance armies that had annexed and engulfed him began to panic. Like this kind of army that has been coerced and mixed in battles, there is no problem in fighting a smooth battle, but if it is allowed to fight a tough battle, with the courage of the Jurchen warriors, there is no problem in a short time, but if the key is lost for a long time, then it is extremely bad for this rabble without a backbone.

As a liaison, Cao Yi and other members of the squad who were born as non-commissioned officers in Hongtang saw all this in their eyes, and at the same time they were anxious in their hearts.

Their Hongmen funded the rebellion of the Yehe Yitong Army, hoping that the Yitong army would let the two Jurchen armies kill each other and delay time for the Hongtang army to regain its strength.

If we watched the Yitong Department be defeated step by step by the Aixin Jueluo army led by Dolgon, then the previous actions of Cao Yi and the others would be in vain, and the materials of Hongmen to support Sakchi would also be lost.

In the end, Cao Yi, who couldn't bear it, volunteered and began to give advice to Sakchi, and finally gradually reversed the situation, although it could not be said to have an advantage, but it also brought the overall situation into an even balance, and the subsequent battle between the two sides won and lost each other, and the losses were similar.
