Huang Taiji didn't mean to let Mang Gurtai leave, he stood on the steps of the Great Hall and looked at Mang Gurtai below and said: "If it's a general matter, if the fifth brother wants to not participate, I can't force it."

However, the matter to be discussed today is a matter of how to get along between Jin and Daming, if the fifth brother does not participate, will the system of the four Baylors discussing the government be useless?

Originally, this issue should have been discussed a long time ago, but the fifth brother has not returned for a long time, and the second brother and I can't act arbitrarily, so it has been put to this day. Since the fifth brother has come back, he might as well listen to it first, and then it's not too late to go home and rest. As for the tea, I will order someone to prepare it for the fifth brother. ”

After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he looked at Dai Shan on the side, and Dai Shan, who was silent, had to stand up and say: "King Khan is right, since Sanbeile has arrived at the Great Palace, he should first focus on state affairs, and he can't let everyone waste a day in vain." As for family matters, why not wait a little longer. ”

Mang Gurtai glanced at the young Baylors on the side, although these young people did not dare to intervene in the conversation between the three of them, but they nodded at the words of Huang Taiji and Dai Shan, obviously agreeing with the opinions of the two of them.

Mang Gurtai, who had just returned to Shenyang, didn't want to become the target of public criticism as soon as he returned, so he arched his hand at Huang Taiji and said, "Since the king of Khan has an order, the ministers will naturally obey it." Invite the King Khan into the palace. ”

Of the four chairs that were originally placed on the north side of the main hall, only three remain. Mang Gurtai looked at the chairs and paused for a moment, then sat down in his chair silently.

After Dai Shan and Mang Gultai both sat down, Huang Taiji did not sit down, he stood in front of his chair, looked at the rows of Baylors below, and said, "Before discussing the business of today's meeting, I will tell you the reason for convening today's meeting.

As you should know, in the autumn and winter of last year, I took the coalition army composed of the Eight Banners and the Mongol tribes to the Ming Kingdom. With the blessing of God, this trip is a small success. However, because of Dorobeledudu's betrayal, we did not complete our expedition in the end, and we did not return with much to gain.

However, through this expedition, we can be regarded as having a deeper understanding of the Ming Kingdom. First, the wealth inside the customs far exceeds the places outside the customs; the second is the low combat effectiveness of the army in the Ming State and the officials in the mainland; Third, the new army of the Ming State was still relatively vigorous, and the firearms they used were more sophisticated than those of the border army.

The important lesson left by this expedition is that the army of the Ming Kingdom can only rely on camps or dangerous terrain to fight our army, and once it reaches the open terrain, it will certainly not be the opponent of our Eight Banners. Therefore, if you want to consume the strong army of the Ming Kingdom, the most important thing is to force the Ming army to fight with us in a place like Ningjin.

As for the detour expedition to the Guannai, it is necessary to follow the combat mode of avoiding the real and attacking the weak, and going straight to the interior. Ming Guo is like a walnut, breaking through the outermost hard shell, and inside is the fat flesh. In addition to the border passes and the Ming army in the capital, there is still some combat effectiveness, and the further south you go, the less you have the force to resist us. With the abundance of the land in the Ming Dynasty, it can fully meet the needs of our army to eat in the enemy country.

Of course, if our army wants to safely invade the interior of the Ming Kingdom, we first need to ask the Ming Emperor to transfer the most effective army of the Ming Kingdom to Liaodong. These Ming troops transferred from other places were unfamiliar with the people, and they needed to transport a large amount of resources from the interior to feed them, and their combat strength would inevitably drop a few points.

And we are fighting in the Hedong and Hexi areas that we are familiar with, and we are backed by Shenyang, so the soldiers can naturally go all out to fight, as long as the combat strategy is appropriate, we can wipe out these Ming troops on the Ningjin line little by little. When the most effective armies of the Ming State were consumed on the Ningjin line, then the Ming Kingdom's thousands of miles of frontier defense in the west were just paper-paste window paper, and a light poke of the finger was a hole. ”

Although what Huang Taiji said is like a river, it sounds like a head, which is difficult to refute. However, the young Baylors below couldn't help but applaud Huang Taiji's words as before. They either bow their heads and listen, or carefully observe the faces of their colleagues on the left and right to decide what they want to say next.

If in the past, when he encountered such silence, Huang Taiji would probably have nodded and praised in his heart, these young Baylors finally understood some rules, and no longer regarded the Dazheng Hall for discussing national affairs as a compound for their own gatherings and deliberations. But the silence that is happening today is undoubtedly a sign that these young people have begun to lose faith in him.

Although the reaction of the young Baylors below was not as expected, Huang Taiji's heart did not fluctuate, and he immediately ended his words and said: "Okay, let's let Yue Tuobeile talk about what Ming Guo has done to me since the beginning of this year. Then everyone discussed how we should respond to these measures of the Ming Kingdom. ”

Huang Taiji finally sat down, Yue Tuo, who was standing in front of Yigan Baylor, moved his steps, he stepped forward and saluted the three big Baylors, before he spoke: "After the war with the Ming State last year, although the Ming Kingdom reached a peace agreement with our country again, in fact they have no intention of maintaining peace with our country.

Why do we say this, because we found that while the Ming Kingdom reached a peace agreement with us, it did a lot of tricks in private, intending to split the unity within our country.

The first is to recruit rebels, Ming not only colluded with Du Du, Ah Shan and other rebel generals during the negotiations, but also took Liu Aita and Aierli back to China, if it wasn't for wanting to deal with our country, why did Ming do this? It is reported that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom also imitated the formation of our Eight Banners and organized these defective generals into an army, which obviously intended to use them against our country.

The second is to drive a wedge between our Jurchen and the Mongol tribes, the Ming Emperor took the captured Horqin people hostage, forced the Horqin tribe to send out Princess Hailanzhu, and then preached among the Mongol tribes that the Mongols and the Jurchens were feuds. The Mongol tribes who surrender to our Houjin are betraying the Golden Family and the Mongol nation, and they should rise up and attack them. The Ming Kingdom can't beat us on the battlefield, but it is really hateful to engage in this kind of villain trick.

Since last year, the Ming people have invaded the coast of the East China Sea to the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River through sea passages. They attacked the tribes that were subservient to our country, recruited those tribes who had different aspirations for our country, and trumpeted that the local tribes were not part of our Jurchens, but the remnants of the former Khitan and Bohai Seas. The Ming people intend to transform the savage Jurchens on the border of our country into another nation, so that we can kill each other with the savage Jurchens, and their hearts can be described as vicious..."

As Yue Tuo dissected the recent measures of the Ming Kingdom one by one, the young Baylors, who were still watching and making small calculations, were suddenly aroused, although there was no angry reprimand, but the sound of whispered discussions had filled the entire Great Palace.

Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the chair, looked at the indignant appearance of the young Baylors below, and a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth, sure enough, under the pressure of the outside world, the Jurchen relatives and nobles who felt the existential crisis couldn't bear it, and the people's hearts were usable.

Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai, who were sitting next to Huang Taiji, did not look very good-looking, because of Amin's affairs, Huang Taiji's prestige was greatly reduced in the hearts of the Jurchen relatives. This originally made the two think that as long as they silently watched this sentiment ferment within the Jurchens, then in order to protect themselves, most of the Jurchen relatives and nobles would support the system of the four major Baylors ruling the government together, so as to suppress Huang Taiji's ambition to monopolize the government.

It can be seen from the current body of these young Baylors that as long as Huang Taiji mentions the oppression and malice of the Ming Kingdom towards Houjin, these young people can automatically unite to Huang Taiji's side. This made the two of them completely vassals of Huang Taiji, where is there any system of co-governance of the four Baylors.

Dai Shanzhi is okay, he has no ambition for the Khan, he just wants to keep his power and wealth, seeing that things are not feasible, it is not a big deal to take a step back and recognize Huang Taiji's authority. No matter how bad Yue Tuo's relationship with him is, after all, he is also his son, with Yue Tuo in the middle, he feels that Huang Taiji always has to treat him preferentially.

Mang Gurtai is different, Amin Bel, who was originally allied with him, has been imprisoned, and the blue banner under the control of Zilharang is obviously not going to support him anymore. Although the Zhenglan Banner is one of the three flags, second only to the two white flags in strength, it is obviously impossible to compete with the power of the other seven flags with the power of one flag.

If Huang Taiji continues to gain the support of these Jurchen relatives and nobles, Mang Gurtai will also lose his voice in the court, so how much more difficult will it be for Huang Taiji to deal with him than it is to deal with Amin? Unlike Dai Shan, since the death of his father Khan, he has been competing with Huang Taiji for the throne of Khan and the dominance of the government. As Huang Taiji's political enemy, he knows Huang Taiji's personality better than others.

With Huang Taiji's methods to the eldest concubine Abahai at the beginning, he didn't feel that he was begging for mercy, and this younger brother would let him go. When Abahai begged them for mercy and was willing to give up all political rights, wasn't this younger brother who insisted that Abahai be buried and didn't even leave the other party a way to live.

And Mang Gurtai is not willing to bow to this snake-like brother, he always thinks that Huang Taiji relied on intrigue to obtain this throne, and he, Amin, and Daishan were all used by Huang Taiji. The three of them had a notoriety of forcing the concubine to death for no reason, which made the two White Flags and the Dolgon brothers hate them, but Huang Taiji won the Khan throne and the allegiance of the Dolgon brothers. As soon as he thought of this, Mang Gultai felt chagrined.

Just when Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai were each thinking in their hearts, Huang Taiji raised his hand to silence everyone in the hall, turned his head to the two brothers and said, "Two brothers, you have also heard Yue Tuo's words.

What kind of posture do the two brothers think we should take towards Ming Guo in order to let Ming Guo know the anger of my Houjin, so that they can give up these small actions? ”

Dai Shan glanced at the Baylors below, looked at the eager expressions on their faces, and sighed in his heart, deciding that if Mang Gurtai couldn't say anything meaningful, he would have to choose to support Huang Taiji's idea.
