In the Manchu Shengjing Palace, in the Qingning Palace, Huang Taiji was sitting in the West House, talking to his eldest son Haoge. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Huang Taiji glanced up and down at Hao Ge again, and felt that his eldest son was extraordinary. Although Hauge is in his early thirties, he still has a heroic spirit that should have been a teenager, which makes people feel that his talent is good.

Huang Taiji is now desperately hoping that Haoge can make a meritorious contribution and open up the situation. If Haoge is no longer able to make meritorious contributions, I am afraid that after the death of Huang Taiji, he will not be able to inherit the throne.

Now Huang Taiji's prestige in the Manchu Qing Dynasty has fallen to the bottom.

Entering the customs and looting is a national policy set by Huang Taiji. In the third year of Tiancong, Emperor Taiji overrode public opinion, and attacked the Ming Kingdom of Gyeonggi and plundered against the opposition of Zhubeile. At that time, Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai, among the four major Baylors, entered the imperial tent at night and asked for the imperial Taiji class teacher. Huang Taiji was willing to bear all the consequences under pressure, and finally let the plundering of the Ming Dynasty come true.

However, at present, Huang Taiji's national policy has been very unsuccessful.

In the first year of Chongde and the third year of Chongde, the Manchu soldiers and horses were severely damaged in the pass. In the first year of Chongde in Fanjiazhuang, the soldiers and horses of the Zhenghuang Banner led by Yang Guli were almost completely annihilated by Li Zhi. Not to mention the three years of Chongde, Yue Tuo was defeated in Fanjiazhuang, Dolgon was defeated at Qingshankou, and the bannermen of the Eight Banners of Manchuria alone lost more than 10,000, not to mention the losses of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Outer Domains of Mongolia, not to mention the followers and auxiliaries who died in vain in the Guannei.

These losses greatly damaged the vitality of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and made the national policy of Huang Taiji's entry into the customs and plundering become the target of public criticism. Through various channels, Zhubeile expressed his dissatisfaction with this national policy. In a short period of time, Huang Taiji had no prestige to organize the entry into the customs and plunder.

Not only can he not organize the raids and plunder, but now Huang Taiji will organize other affairs, and he will also be challenged by Zhu Beile. For example, when it came to arming the Han military flag, Zhu Beile jointly opposed it. Zhu Beile believed that building a heavily armored firearm soldier and horse not only violated the tradition of the Eight Banners of Riding and Archery, but also made the Han army flag in danger of not falling off.

Huang Taiji used all his strength to finally push forward the matter of arming the Han army flag. Huang Taiji attached great importance to this matter and asked Haoge to come forward to coordinate.

Haoge is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and coming forward to coordinate represents the importance of Huang Taiji, which is conducive to the smooth progress of things. On the other hand, Huang Taiji also attaches great importance to these heavily armored firecrackers, hoping that Haoge can get the support of this new army and succeed to the throne smoothly in the future.

Huang Taiji looked at his eldest son and asked, "How are the fire guns and armor of the fire gunslinger made?" ”

Haoge replied: "Huang Ama, the 30,000 Han soldiers of the old Han banner of two white, two blue and two old Han banners, ninety percent of them are equipped with firearms, and they are all 'Jianwei guns' that can fight seventy steps. The chain mail of the Han soldiers has been made eighty percent. The iron-inlaid cotton armor worn outside is also seventy percent done. ”

"It's just..."

Huang Taiji saw that Hao Ge had a hesitant look, nodded and encouraged his son to continue.

"It's just that, Emperor Ama, Zhubeile has a great opinion of me about doing this. Especially Duoduo, as soon as he saw me, he sneered, saying that if I cut my braids, I could directly become a Han Chinese. ”

Huang Taiji smiled and said, "Don't pay attention to him." ”

After thinking about it, Huang Taiji comforted: "The Zhubeile only know cavalry shooting, but they don't know that cavalry shooting can destroy the Ming army, but they can't defeat Li Zhi's fire cannon. Now that Li Zhi's power is flourishing day by day, if I, the Manchu Dynasty, defend the foundation of cavalry and shooting, how will I fight against Li Zhi in the future? ”

"The field battle of the Ming army is far inferior to that of my Qing soldiers, and the Guanning army of the Ming army was pinned down by me on the Ningjin line, and the national policy of entering the customs and looting was no problem and was a good policy. The reason why the soldiers were lost in the past few years was because of the variable of Li Zhi. If we encounter a strong enemy, we still don't try to change, I'm afraid that the country will not be at peace in the future..."

Speaking of this, Huang Taiji seemed to have some qi knots, his face was red, and he coughed.

When Hauge saw his father, who was getting worse day by day, he panicked in his heart, and he prostrate on the ground and shouted: "Huang Ama take care of your body." Huang Ama's body, that is more important than anything else. ”

Huang Taiji took a sip of tea to stabilize his breath and breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't say anything about his body, but turned his mouth and said, "Haoge, I have one more thing to do for you." ”

Hauge got up and asked, "What does Huang Ama want to give me?" ”

Huang Taiji said lightly: "There are two sides to everything, and those who do great things must control both yin and yang in order to succeed." If I am not there in the future, you will succeed to the throne as the emperor, not only to control the Eight Banners on the surface, but also to manage the details under the table. ”

Hauge hurriedly said: "May the emperor Amaron be in good health, and may I never succeed to the throne." ”

Huang Taiji smiled and did not speak.

After being silent for a while, Huang Taiji said: "This time, Li Zhi collected taxes from the gentry in Tianjin, Ming Kingdom, killed many Ming officials and gentry, and offended all the scholars of the Ming Kingdom. In the court of the Ming Kingdom, the civil officials attacked Li Zhi every day, and asked the Emperor of the Ming State to crusade against Li Zhi, which has been making trouble for more than a month. ”

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was the most detailed, and bought a large number of spies in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. If there is any movement in the hall of the Ming Dynasty, the fine work will transmit the news to the outside of the customs as soon as possible, and inform the Huang Taiji, who controls the Manchu fine work system.

Huang Taiji's understanding of the Ming Dynasty is probably clearer than Li Zhi, who is the uncle of the Ming Dynasty.

Hauge was stunned, only then did he know that there was such a thing. He was a little overjoyed when he heard the news, and said, "If Emperor Daming and Li Zhi fight, it will be good." ”

However, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom was unwilling to crusade against Li Zhi, and the emperor of the Ming Kingdom got more than one million taels of silver from Li Zhi, and his heart was towards Li Zhi. The emperor of the Ming State used the lack of soldiers as an excuse to stalemate with the civil officials, and did not beat Li Zhi as a traitor. ”

Huang Taiji sighed, seemingly very disappointed by this situation.

Licking his lips, Huang Taiji said, "However, we can add a fire to the confrontation between the civil officials of the Ming Kingdom and the emperor." ”

Huang Taiji suddenly sat up straight and said loudly: "Haoge! This time, I will let you coordinate my detailed work in the Qing Dynasty and spread rumors in the capital of the Ming Kingdom. You must convince the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom that Li Zhi is going to rebel, and let the Son of Heaven of the Ming Kingdom fight with Li Zhi. ”

"When they are defeated, my Qing soldiers will wave their troops into the customs again and defeat Li Zhi!"

"If you do things well this time, you can defeat or weaken Li Zhi, and no one will be able to stop you from succeeding to the throne."

Hauge listened to his father's words, his face flushed with excitement, and he stood up. But he stood there and thought about it, but he hesitated a little and said, "Huang Ama, I haven't done such a thing yet, I'm afraid I can't manage these details." ”

Huang Taiji smiled and knocked the coffee table.

A middle-aged man in a shirt walked out and knelt in front of Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji smiled: "This is Fan Yongdou, the head of the Jin Merchants of the Ming Kingdom, I will let him assist you and do a good job this time." ”
