Chongzhen seven years, Shenyang, Liaodong.

After Shenyang was occupied by the Later Jin, the Jurchens moved the capital from Liaoyang to Shenyang, and in this year, Huang Taiji renamed Shenyang "Shengjing".

In Shenyang in March, it was still cold. The streets are lined with iron shops, the wind picks up dust, and there are very few pedestrians on the streets, and occasionally a group of Houjin soldiers patrols the streets.

The palace of Huang Taiji, the palace is continuous, majestic and solemn. In the gate of multicolored glazed inlay, facing is a palace of five nine purlins hard mountain type, the top cover is inlaid with yellow glazed tiles and green trimming, there is a corridor before and after the main hall, surrounded by stone carved railings. The plaque outside the hall reads "Chongzheng Palace" three big characters.

Dolgon took a man dressed in Mongolian costumes, stepped into the gate of the Chongzheng Palace, and a person sat on the top of the Chongzheng Palace, this person was burly, with a square head and big ears, two eyes and two eyes, wearing a horseshoe sleeve of the Ming Huang Tuan Dragon Robe, he was the Qing Taizong Huang Taiji.

Manchurian Zhubeile, Gushan Ezhen, Mongolian Bagushan Ezhen, six ministers, generals Kong Youde, Geng Jinzhong, Shang Kexi, etc., all the foreign feudal Mongolian Beile and Manchu, Mongolian, Han and military officials in Shenyang gathered here, and were discussing the matter of cutting the Ming.

"King Khan, Manzhu Xili is ordered to meet you." Dolgon said to Huang Taiji.

"Let him come and see him!" Huang Taiji raised his hand.

The man went up to the hall to bow to Huang Taiji and said, "Korqin Manzhu Xi pays a visit to Bogda Khan (an honorific title for Huang Taiji)." ”

This man was Manzhu Xili, a Mongol, a descendant of the Borzigit clan, the brother of Genghis Khan, Habtu Hazar, and the fourth son of Korqin Belzasan. After the Horqin Department surrendered to Jin, he led the cavalry of the Central Banner of the left wing of Horqin many times, and then the Jin army fought in the south and the north, and made great achievements.

During the Tiancong period of the Later Jin Dynasty, Manzhu Xili led the cavalry of the left wing of Horqin to go out with the Later Jin soldiers to conquer Chahar Mongolia and break through the Xuanfu of Datong, Shanxi on the border of the Ming court; From the conquest of Korea, to the conquest of Varka. Because of his outstanding military achievements, Hou Jin appointed him as the official of Mongolia.

"Flat." Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the antler chair, owed his ass, "I summoned you because when I was conquering Chahar, you fought against Lindan Batur with a small number of enemies, invaded Sirha, Sibertu, Yingtangtu and other places, and gave me all the materials you obtained. Although I have appointed you as the ruler, you should be crowned king because of your merits. ”

Manzhu Xi bowed and bowed: "Xie Bogda Khan! Our people will always follow Bogda Khan, and there will be no two hearts! ”

"I know your sincerity. Your ability to become king is entirely your outstanding feat. I also want to show the world the matter of the crown, so that the whole of Mongolia will know your bravery and loyalty, and let Lindan Batur be afraid! Huang Taiji stood up and said in a solemn voice: "Manzhu Xili listens to the order!" ”

Dolgon gently tugged at Manzhu Xili's robe, Manzhu Xili quickly knelt down, and the salutant read out the edict to Manzhu Xili in a loud voice:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor system said: I only uphold virtue and merit, the great ceremony of the country; Loyalty and dutifulness, the common rule of courtiers. The ancient saint emperor was the king, and he fought against the chaos with force; To the rule of the text. I admired the system, selected the meritocracy, and set up a special rank of civil and military merit to show the persuasion; Those who are appointed will be loyal to them, benevolent to care, wise to observe, micro to prevent treachery and insults, and there is no time to spare. If you can do this, you will be honored with your predecessors, your heirs will be blessed, and your net worth will be forever. Don't slack off. Manzhu Xili was originally a Mongolian, and he led the Mongolian Horqin Left Wing to return, and he had many military exploits. Conquer Chahar, attack the border of the Ming Court, conquer Korea, march to Varka, and kill countless enemies. I gave Manzhu Xili as the king of Baturu County, hereditary replacement. ”

Manzhu Xili saluted again: "Thank you Bogda Khan!" ”

The salute officer said: "Manzhu Xili received the order of thanks!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Manzhu Xili took the letter of order and bowed again.

Huang Taiji sat back on the antler chair, accepted the worship of the full bead ceremony, nodded with satisfaction: "Flat, sit." ”

Dolgon congratulated Manzhu Xili and said, "Congratulations to the king of Baturu, congratulations to the king of Baturu!" ”

The ministers also congratulated.

Huang Taiji coughed, and the hall suddenly fell silent, and he said to Manzhu Xi: "I have a rare treasure knife in the world, called 'Tai Chi Knife', in view of your merits, I will give you this 'Tai Chi Knife', I hope you will make new achievements on the battlefield." ”

Manzhu Xili was simply flattered, Huang Taiji's sword was a famous sword, and he bowed and thanked him again. Of course, this knife can't be given to him now, and after he retreats from the court, someone will naturally hand it over to him.

This Tai Chi knife, the knife is about three feet long, the handle is made of gold, fine copper, gold shining, the scabbard is made of copper gilt, wood, string, shark skin, etc.

The Manchu Dynasty was embarrassed again, and everyone was envious.

After Huang Taiji and other ministers quieted down, he said: "Da Lai Chu Huer came to tell that Lin Dan Batur held a ceremony in front of the tomb of Genghis Khan, declaring himself to be the Lin Dan Baturu Khan of all Mongolia, and then led the Chahar and Ordos tribes to move the tomb of Genghis Khan, and fled west across the Yellow River to Dacaotan. Is there such a thing? ”

"It is true." Manzhu Xili replied, "But before the slave left, he just learned that Lin Dan Batur was sick. ”

"Oh, are you sick?"

Manzhu Xili replied: "It seems that he has a pox disease, which is quite serious, and he took his Fujin Sutai to Qinghai to recuperate, and his eldest son Ezhe led the Chahar and Ordos tribes. ”

"Good!" Huang Taiji high-fived and said, "If you don't fight Chahar now, when will you wait?" Ezhe is a stinky boy who has not dried up, who dares to go to war with me? ”

Manzhu, who was only named the king of the county, hurriedly preemptively said: "The slave is willing to go!" ”

Huang Taiji was extremely satisfied with Manzhu Xili's performance, he stood up and said: "Manzhu Xili listens to the order: let you lead the Horqin Department and cooperate with my expeditionary army to attack Chahar!" ”

"Slaves obey!"

The military machine Zhang Jing Fan Wencheng stepped forward to dissuade him: "King Khan, I look at the celestial phenomena, Lin Dan Batur has exhausted his strength, and the King Khan only needs to send a partial division, and he will definitely be captured alive, without the need for King Khan to go in person." If the Khan left Shengjing, wouldn't the matter of the Ming Dynasty be in vain? ”

"What Mr. Fan said is extremely true." After Huang Taiji's eyes swept around the ministers, he asked Dolgon, "Dolgon, are you willing to fight Ezhe?" ”

Dolgon said: "Dolgon obeys the orders of the Khan! ”

Huang Taiji's face was majestic: "The generals will listen to the order!" Dolgon, Yuetuo, and Haoge had 10,000 generals, Dolgon was the commander-in-chief, Yuetuo and Haoge were the deputy generals, commanding the Manzhu Xili of the Mongolian Horqin Division, the Sonomu Duling of the Ao Han Division, the Gunchuk Baturlu of the Naiman Division, the Dalai Chuhu of the Alu Korqin Division, the Taiji Ilzab Murgen of the Sizi Division, and the Taijiqi Sandar Khan of the Aruiisut Division, attacking Ezhe Xiaoer! ”

Dolgon, Yueto, and Haug said in unison, "Yes! ”

Huang Taiji then ordered: "All departments, regardless of men or women, must go out to fight under the age of seventy and over thirteen, and the violators will be executed!" ”

There was silence in the hall, listening to Huang Taiji's orders. After Huang Taiji sent the soldiers and horses to conquer Ezhe, he immediately issued an order to attack the Ming court.

"Azig, Dai Qing, and Duoduo obey orders! The three of you led the white flag Angbang Zhangjing Ashan, the white flag Melle Zhangjing Yierden, the Aluong Niute tribe Sun Duling, Dolzita Surhai, Ober, Buyandai, Gu Shi and so on to form the middle route army, from Bayan Zhuerge place, marched to the gate of Long, and joined the army in Xuanfu! ”

Azig, Dai Qing and Duoduo said in unison: "Obey! ”

"Derg class listen! You led the Blue Banner Gushan Ezhen Jue Luo Sele, the Blue Flag Gushan Ezhen Zhanggu, the Left Wing Gushan Ezhen Gong Wu Nage and the generals of the two Blue Banner Protectors, as well as the Mongolian Bahrain, Zalut, and Tumut units as the Eastern Route Army, marched into Dushikou, and the army was in Shuozhou! ”

Derg said, "Obey!" ”

"Daishan, Sakhalian, and Shuoto listen to orders! The three of you led the Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen Mel Zhangjing Ye Keshu, the Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Angbang Zhangjing Yechen, the right wing Gushan Ezhen Jia Lazhang Jing Adai, the Ao Han tribe Duling Jinong, the Naiman tribe Gunchu Spaturu, the Alu tribe Talai Darhan, the Omu Budarhan Zhuo Liktu, the Sanwu Lata tribe Chegen, the Karaqin tribe Gurushi Habu, Geng Ge, etc., formed the Western Route Army, marched from the Karaobao place to the victory fort, went to the same area, took its castle, and joined the army in Shuozhou! ”

Daishan, Sakhalian and Shuoto said in unison: "Obey! ”

"Abatai and Yanguli listen to orders! The two of you led the Zhenghuang Banner Gushan Ezhen Namutai, the Yellow Banner Gushan Ezhen Melle Zhangjing Darha, the Han Army Gushan Ezhen Angbang Zhangjing Shi Tingzhu, Ma Guangyuan, Wang Shixuan, the Marshal of the Tianyou Soldiers, Kong Youde, the Chief Soldier Geng Zhongming, the Chief Soldier Shang Kexi, the Chief Soldier of the Tianzhu Army, the Nen Horqin Land Xie Tu Jinong Ba Dali, Zasak Tu Du Ling, the Forehead Kong Guoer, Zhuo Li Ke Tu Tai Ji Wu Keshan, etc., led the army to Shangfang Fort with me, and took Xuanfu to attack Shuozhou! ”

Abatai and Yanguli said a few times: "Obey! ”

After Huang Taiji gave these orders, he sat back on the antler chair and turned his gaze to Dolgon: "The boy is greedy for life and afraid of death, this time to conquer Chahar, as soon as my army arrives, it will die." After solving the problem of Ezhe boy, if the division is not exhausted, you can plunder some people and animals in the Guyuan area, one is to raise military funds, and the other is to attack and harass the Ming court, and cooperate with my military operations in Xuanfu and Shuozhou. ”

Dolgon said: "Please rest assured that King Khan, Dolgon will be victorious!" ”

Huang Taiji nodded and said: "You must march in advance this way, give you three days to prepare, and you must complete the task of attacking and harassing Guyuan at the end of June!" ”

"Yes!" Dorgon led his men out of the temple.

Huang Taiji glanced at the civil and military forces in the hall again, and said: "The Eastern Route Army will set off after the tenth day of the first month of next month, and the Middle Route Army and the West Route Army will set off on the tenth day. At the end of June, I will join forces with the various armies at Xuanfu and Shuozhou. The march schedule has been set, so let's go back and prepare! ”

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was ordered to retreat in turn.

Huang Taiji stopped Fan Wencheng: "Mr. Fan, this is the second time that I have used troops on a large scale to the Ming Court, and there is something incomplete, please correct Mr." ”

Fan Wencheng said: "If you are unprepared to attack it by surprise, the victory of this soldier cannot be passed on first." I have 80,000 people from all walks of life, and the momentum is mighty. If the news leaks, it will be in vain. Please ask the king of Khan to issue a decree to strictly order all military horses to keep secrets, and those who violate them will be beheaded. ”
