After expelling Haoge from the big tent, Huang Taiji regained his calm tone and said to everyone: "After entering the customs this time, our army has suffered setbacks one after another, and this responsibility cannot be completely thrown to those who lead the troops to fight.

For example, I have the responsibility, I ordered someone to collect information from Liaodong, Jizhou, Xuanda and other places, but I forgot to send someone to understand the character of the emperor of the Ming Kingdom. Because I thought that a young man who grew up in the hands of a woman in the deep palace might not even be familiar with those officials in the Ming Dynasty in two years, let alone unify the power of any matter.

The emperor of the Ming Kingdom is young, and there may not be powerful ministers in the court. Therefore, after our army broke through the detour, the time wasted in the Ming court just for the monarchs and ministers to compete for military power with each other will leave us enough time to rush into the Gyeonggi area.

However, now it seems that I underestimated the young emperor of the Ming Kingdom too much, and also overestimated the ability of those ministers in the Ming court. Unexpectedly, as soon as our army made a detour and broke through, this little emperor would be able to break through the obstruction of those ministers in the court and personally lead the troops to the battle. It is still possible to send so many troops and supplies to the front line.

All of them show that in recent years, there have been disasters and famines in various parts of the country, and there have been homeless people in various places, and it seems that they have reached a situation where they are declining. Now, it seems, this is not the case. The Ming people have a good saying, a hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff. That's right, Mingguo, a long worm, hasn't died yet. ”

Huang Taiji's cronies finally heard the implicit meaning of retreating from the master's words, so Zilharang quickly said: "How can this be the fault of the Khan Lord, this is all because we, who are courtiers, have not been able to share the worries of the Khan Lord, and the minions below have not done their best enough to collect the information of the Ming Emperor." ”

Derge also chimed in: "What Heshuobel said is that the Khan Lord is broad-minded, and it is clear that the minions have done something wrong, but the Khan Lord does not want to blame these minions, but instead takes the responsibility himself. The minister thought that the ancient holy king was nothing more than that. If we regard the benevolence of the Khan Lord as the responsibility of the Khan, is this not a great disrespect to the Khan?

What's more, we didn't gain nothing from this war, at least we knew that the newly enthroned Ming Emperor was not an easy person. Wait until the next time to attack the Ming, under the attention of the Khan, how can this Ming emperor be as proud as he is today. If he dares to venture again, he will be captured by the Khan, and then the Ming Kingdom will not dare to bow down to the Khan. ”

Between Zilharang and Derge, they not only whitewashed Huang Taiji's so-called responsibility, but also brought out a proposal to withdraw from the army. Some people were naturally very dissatisfied after hearing this, but they didn't have the courage to be the first to jump out and accuse Huang Taiji of responsibility.

Dai Shan looked left and right, and had to go out in person and said: "Regardless of the rest, do you two want to withdraw your troops after talking about it for a long time?" At the beginning, I said to Sanbeile that our army is far away, and if the food is scarce and the enemy is attacking, there is no way to return.

Now the Ming army is attacking our army from the east and west, and Zunhua City has not been captured. If our army retreats like this, do you think that the Ming army will not pursue us? So who will be the queen of the army and escort the army out of the customs at that time?

Thousands of troops and horses of our Left Route Army were lost in the Ming army, should these people be rescued? And how to save it? Could it be that we just threw them to the Ming army, and we took care of our own exit? So who will follow us in the future? ”

Seeing Dai Shan come forward, Yue Tuo hurriedly stepped forward to relieve Huang Taiji and said: "I was the one who contacted you at the beginning, Baylor and Eight Banners Gushan insisted on cutting Ming, if there is any responsibility, I am willing to bear it with all my might, and there is no other word." ”

Dai Shan looked at his son deadly, wondering if he would take back the whole red flag. More than a dozen little Baylors and several Eight Banners Gushan all knelt on one knee and pleaded guilty to Huang Taiji together, saying that Yue Tuo could not be completely blamed for this matter. Changing the goal of the expedition halfway, they were also in favor at the time, and Yue Tuo could not be left alone to bear this responsibility.

Seeing the tendency of most of the Jurchen relatives to support Huang Taiji, Dai Shan could only snort coldly, and then slowly sat back.

Huang Taiji, who had been watching the performance of everyone in the tent with cold eyes, said to Dai Shan affectionately: "What the second brother said is still reasonable, I should really insist on listening to the second brother's opinion, so that the Left Route Army will not suffer such a defeat today."

Regarding the affairs of the palace, the second brother should not worry. As long as I have one soldier and one soldier left in the Eight Banners, I will not leave the pass. The soldiers of the two yellow flags and the two white flags will be behind the palace with me, and the other flags can go out of Daankou first.

As for the captured personnel of the Left Route Army, I naturally will not leave them alone. Whether it's retreating, rescuing these prisoners, we're going to need a little time.

Therefore, I intend to send an envoy to the city of Santun camp tomorrow to negotiate peace. During the peace negotiations, our army can retreat justifiably without fear of being pursued by the Ming army.

And by the way, I also plan to let people see what kind of person this Ming Emperor is. Was the small setback we are experiencing now intentional on his part? It was because of the enthusiasm of the young people that they made some actions that we could not have foreseen, and we were lucky enough to thwart our army.

If it is the former, perhaps we will have to reconsider our strategy for the Ming Kingdom. If it is the latter, we only need to raise our attention to this Ming emperor. ”

Taking advantage of the time to negotiate peace and strive for the withdrawal of troops, none of the Jurchen relatives and nobles in the tent objected to this plan, but Dai Shan immediately subconsciously asked: "Then who does the Khan plan to send to be responsible for negotiating peace?" ”

Huang Taiji glanced at the people in the tent before he spoke: "I think, just let Chahara Dai make meritorious contributions, and then equip him with a Han official interpreter." ”

Dai Shan looked at the Jurchen relatives beside him, and couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Although Chahara is the dispatch minister of my Zhenghong Banner, I can't protect him. He and Wu Nag led nearly 10,000 troops, but they were defeated by the Ming Emperor who went to the battlefield for the first time. Now that the Lord of the Khan has entrusted him with such an important task, if he messes up again, won't even we be dragged down by him? The stakes are high, and we can't leave such a task to someone who is not capable. ”

Huang Taiji glanced at Dai Shan, then at the expressions of the others, and finally backed down and asked, "Then who does Big Baylor think is better to serve as the messenger of this peace negotiation?" ”

Dai Shan's gaze swept over the people in the tent, but the Jurchen relatives and nobles in the tent avoided his gaze. Although the Ming Emperor could still put it back after catching Dorobelle Dudu, the Jurchen relatives and nobles present were not sure that they could have such treatment as Dudu. Moreover, now this emissary candidate has obviously become a wrestling between Dai Shan and Huang Taiji, and it is obviously not a good thing to serve as this emissary.

Dai Shan hesitated for a long time, and finally stopped at a certain bowed head and said to Baylor, and said: "The object of our peace discussion this time is the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and the candidate for this envoy cannot be hastily selected, and it must have a considerable status in the Jin State after me, so that the Ming people can think that we do have the sincerity to negotiate peace."

In addition, I heard that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom was only 19 years old, and if we choose an older person, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get the approval of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and the peace negotiations may not go smoothly. I think it is better to choose a descendant of the first Khan who is of a similar age and has a valuable character, and maybe it will be better to gain the favor of the Ming Emperor.

In addition, the first khan once said that those Han Chinese could be used but could not be trusted. The messenger we have chosen should know some Chinese. Otherwise, if the Han official who acted as a translator was afraid when he saw the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and betrayed the intelligence of our army during the peace negotiation, or insulted the prestige of the Hou Jin State of China, but the envoy knew nothing, wouldn't it make the Hou Jin Kingdom a laughing stock of the Ming people? ”

Cherge, Enke and others immediately stepped forward and said, "Big Baylor is right, this matter of peace is very important. Indeed, it should be carefully chosen, and we believe that Morgan Dai Qingbele, who is not the owner of the White Flag, cannot take on this important task. ”

Dai Shan said many conditions before, but everyone knew as soon as they heard it, who was the messenger candidate that Dai Shan wanted to propose. After the cronies of the present good people named Dolgon, the Jurchen relatives and nobles in the tent immediately quarreled.

Both the White Banner generals and the young Dordo were actively opposed to this proposal, but the Red Banners and Blue Banner generals believed that the recommendation of Dorgon as an emissary was purely out of public interest. After all, among the Jurchen soldiers captured this time, the number of the two white flags was the largest, and Dolgon, as the owner of the white flag, served as an envoy and could better rescue his subordinates.

Huang Taiji was hesitant, although he wanted to grasp the matter of peace with the Ming people, but he also felt that it was not worth it to risk Dorgon's life. Of the three Dolgon brothers, Azig was irascible and brainless, and was never supported by the White Flag soldiers.

And Duoduo was young and had a strange personality from an early age. It is said that he often complained in private, saying that his mother was not buried voluntarily but was killed. Only Dolgon, although he is not very old, has a stable personality, and can not only get the support of the two white flag soldiers, but also control Duoduo, which reduces a lot of trouble for Huang Taiji.

Of course, because of the existence of Dolgon as the backbone of the soldiers of the two white flags, Huang Taiji has not made much progress in the differentiation of the two white flags. Although he could use the Dorgon brothers to drive the soldiers of the Two White Flags, it was difficult to turn the Two White Flags into a total subservience to his own people.

However, when Huang Taiji had not yet made up his mind in his heart, Gushan Ezhen Darhan, who was inlaid with a yellow flag, made up his mind for him. While these Jurchen generals were arguing, Darhan suddenly spoke up: "I thought that what Daishan Belle said was right. This peace conference is not only related to the smooth exit of our army, but also related to the safety of those officers and men who were captured by the Ming army.

Morgen was a noble person, and there were many things that could be decided on the spot when peace was negotiated, without having to go back and forth to consult the Khan and a few Washubelles. The less we have contact with the Ming people, the less likely it is for the Ming people to perceive the fact that we are retreating.

As for whether Morgen Daiqing is willing to risk the safety of our army, we should always ask his own opinion first, rather than quarrel without a head. ”

Darhan's direct attack on Dolgon finally made Dolgon, who had always been silent, stand up. Dolgon, who had already weighed the pros and cons when everyone was arguing, only groaned a little, and then asked Huang Taiji to let him serve as the envoy to the Ming army to negotiate peace.

Seeing that the situation had suddenly changed in this way, Huang Taiji agreed to Dolgon's request, and appointed Gao Hongzhong as the interpreter, and asked Ilgen Jueluo Ahsan to bring a cow to escort Dolgon to negotiate. Huang Taiji also personally wrote a letter to Dolgon, asking him to bring it to the Ming Emperor.
