Under Huang Taiji's seemingly cordial questioning and the gaze of everyone below, Mang Gultai found himself in a dilemma. After Huang Taiji analyzed the strategy against the Ming and Yue Tuo's series of accusations against the Ming, launching an attack on the Ming to demonstrate the force of the Later Jin had become the only option for today's meeting.

As a Mang Gurtai who has always advocated a tough stance against the Ming State in the Later Jin Dynasty, if he changes his words and makes everyone think twice before he acts, and replaces the war with dialogue, then he will not only disappoint the Jurchen relatives and nobles in the palace, but also those hardliners against the Ming in the Later Jin Dynasty will probably have to give up their support for him if they hear the news.

Although Mang Gurtai is not as far away as Huang Taiji in terms of political ability, he is not an ignorant and reckless man, otherwise he would not have been used by Nurhachi to suppress Dai Shan, including Dai Shan, in the last years of the Mandate of Heaven.

At this critical moment, his mind became unusually clear, and he remembered a long conversation with his younger brother Derge before returning. If there is any person who Mang Gurtai trusts most in the post-Jin country, then the half-brother Derge must occupy one of them, and the other is the same sister Mang Guji.

However, Mang Guji's two daughters, one married Yue Tuo, and the other was promised to Haoge, which made the relationship between the brother and sister become a little estranged in the past two years, so Derge became the most trusted person in Mang Guertai.

Although Derge was ordered by Huang Taiji to persuade him to accept Shenyang's order, he also analyzed the situation in the Later Jin Dynasty for Mang Gurtai, believing that there was no chance of winning by raising troops against Shenyang at this time, but would allow Huang Taiji to seize the handle to deal with the Zhenglan Banner, and finally make Mang Gurtai ruined and resented by the soldiers of the Eight Banners.

However, when Mang Gurtai accepted the persuasion of everyone and was ready to obey the orders issued by Shenyang, hand over the army to Derge, and return to Shenyang lightly, Derge found him again, and the two brothers had a secret long talk.

In fact, there was not much content in this long conversation, and Derge only told his brother that he had visited Mr. Song in Amin's mansion before leaving Shenyang. Although Amin was punished by Huang Taiji, Song Xiance, who was famous for his fortune telling, was taken back to the house by Daishan for protection as soon as possible.

Derge and Song Xiance have had several contacts, and they know that this Mr. Song from Erbeile Mansion is not only good at divination, but also has a very flexible mind. In addition, he also knew that the reason why Elle Li was not captured by Huang Taiji was that this Mr. Song left a way back, so after receiving Huang Taiji's order, he ventured to see Mr. Song in a panic.

Derge asked to see Song Xiance, first, he wanted to ask himself about the luck of this trip; First, I wanted to ask Song Xiance for an idea to solve my brother's dilemma. He also knew that even if Mang Gurtai listened to his persuasion and returned to Shenyang, it did not mean that the Great Khan and his brother would be at peace from now on.

After listening to Derge's request, Song Xiance gave him an idea, and Derge finally told Mang Gurtai about it. When he first heard this idea from Derg, Mang Gurtai didn't listen to it, and reprimanded his brother for it.

But now looking at Huang Taiji's smiling face, Mang Gurtai suddenly came up with the idea that Derge had said. Song Xiance's idea is actually not very clever, and he only has four words to say to the Derge class, which is just to worship the Han and suppress the Han.

As soon as he heard this idea, Mang Gurtai's first reaction was that this Mr. Song had bad intentions and wanted to subvert the spy of the Houjin Kingdom. Mang Gurtai, who followed his father Khan to fight the world and finally created the Houjin Kingdom, stayed by Nurhachi's side for a short time, although he was not as talented as Huang Taiji with outstanding political talent, but under the influence of his father Khan, he was not ignorant of politics.

The reason why the Jianzhou Jurchens were able to sweep away the * Zhen tribes at the beginning, so that the Aixin Jueluo tribe could finally unify the Jurchen tribes and establish this Houjin State that could compete with the Ming State, was not only because the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers were strong and strong, but also because the Jurchen tribes were not evenly matched, and the various departments were wary and suspicious of each other, which finally gave the father Khan a chance to break through.

It has been 14 years since the founding of the Later Jin Dynasty, and under the years of conquest and slaughter, the domestic population is only one million, compared with the tens of millions of people in Liaodong before the father Khan raised his army, the surviving population is only one of ten.

Even among the remaining million people, the number of Han Chinese is close to 1:1 compared with the number of Jurchens and Mongols. In the last years of his father's life, he once wanted to turn the Later Jin Kingdom into a kingdom of the Jurchens and Mongols, so he often indiscriminately slaughtered entire villages and villages of the Han people in the country.

At the beginning, there were many young people who were very supportive of their father Khan's approach, believing that only by slaughtering all these Han people would the Ming Kingdom extinguish the mind of recovering Liaodong and make Liaodong truly a happy land for the Jurchen clan.

However, not long after the massacre of the Han Chinese began, the Jurchens, except Nurhachi, began to oppose this policy of exterminating the Han Chinese. As a fishing and hunting tribe that had just come out of the mountains and forests, the Jurchens soon discovered that after they slaughtered the Han Chinese, the most inconvenient thing was actually themselves.

Whether it was repairing houses, digging trenches, making clothing, or making various handicrafts, after leaving the Han Chinese, the living conditions of the Jurchens began to decline sharply. Especially in a nation that established the country by force, the Jurchens were burdened with military service all year round, and basically one ding for every three dings had to serve. Then during the period of military service of the Jurchens, the only people who could help them work in the fields were those hard-working and docile Han Nikans.

Those Han officials and generals who had long since defected to the Later Jin Dynasty also tried their best to distinguish themselves, believing that the Han people who remained in the Northeast were all Chinese who obeyed the laws of the Later Jin Dynasty, not foreigners. Like the Jurchens and Mongols, they regarded Nurhachi as their own monarch, regarded the Ming emperor as a foreign king, and wielded the sword for the Mandate Khan on the battlefield, so the Mandate Khan should regard them as his subjects.

These Han officials and Han officials were recognized by many Jurchen relatives and nobles for their defense, and for the first time, the always stubborn father Khan interrupted his own orders. After Huang Taiji took over the throne of Khan, he complied with the requests of the Han officials and some of the Jurchen relatives who were friendly with the Han people, greatly improved the status of the Han people in China, and liberated many Han slaves, which can be regarded as bridging the rift between the Han people and the Jurchens in China.

Until today, Mang Gurtai believed that Huang Taiji's policy of merging the Jurchens, Han and Mongolia was correct, and that the people of all ethnic groups in the country would unite so that the Later Jin would not decline like those tribes annexed by the Jurchens in Jianzhou.

But at this moment, Mang Gurtai suddenly felt irritated in his heart, why did he still think about what would become of Houjin in the future? This country was brought down by his contemporaries of the Shan, Jurchen tribes, and his father Khan, and when he founded this country, Huang Taiji was just a hairy boy hiding in his mother's skirt.

And today, Huang Taiji, who enjoys the fruits of his father's and brother's bloody battles, is pressing his brother step by step, as if everything in this country is what he deserves. Mang Gurtai's heart was suddenly full of malice, even if he let the destruction of this country in his own hands, he was not willing to let this seemingly gentle and kind brother take everything he had smoothly.

If it was in the past, Mang Gurtai still had to think about it, after all, once he lost the protection of the Houjin Kingdom, his family would never end well. The emperor of the Ming State treated the barbarians who did not accept the king, and he had never heard of any lenient actions.

But now, since the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom has accepted the descendants of Du Du, Erli and other father Khans, even if Houjin really does not exist, his family and clansmen may not end up in the worst possible end. The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, who had never met before, trusted Mang Gurtai more at this moment than the younger brother in front of him.

After Mang Gultai made up his mind, he finally opened his mouth and said to the Baylors below: "I just listened to the words of the Great Khan and Yuetobel, and sure enough, the Ming people are uneasy and kind to my Houjin, I think that only by giving the Ming Kingdom a cruel lesson can the Ming people put away their delusions, and only between my country and the Ming Kingdom can there be peace and harmony." The Great Khan, the minister suggested sending troops to Ning Jin, and only by hurting the Ming army could they give up those small actions. ”

Looking at Mang Gurtai, who bowed his head to himself, Huang Taiji finally showed a heartfelt smile, and he immediately said: "Fifth brother's words are very much in line with my wishes, we should indeed have a good fight with Mingguo, let that southern boy know that war is not child's play, last time he was lucky to pick up some cheap, but this time he was not so lucky." Second brother, do you say it? ”

Dai Shan said without hesitation: "What the King of Khan said is that I am the elite soldiers of the Jin Army, and the Ming army of Ning Jin is the defeated general of our country. I heard that the emperor of the state even transferred the ancestral madman who was slightly able to fight in Jinzhou back to Guannei, and Jinzhou now has neither a general nor a strong army, and it is the best time to send troops. The minister also agreed with the idea of sending troops to the Ming Kingdom. ”

Seeing that the two big Baylors both supported the decision to send troops, Huang Taiji continued: "Since the second brother and the fifth brother both think that it is correct to send troops to Mingguo, then the matter of sending troops has been decided.

Next, I want to talk to you about how this battle will be fought. Before that, I would like to ask you to hear the information that Tuna brought back from the Ming Kingdom. ”

Under the orders of Huang Taiji, the guards in the Dazheng Hall brought Tuna into the hall from outside the hall. Tuna, who entered the Dazheng Hall for the first time, trembled and narrated the military exercise plan brought back from the Ming Kingdom to the masters in the hall in detail.

After listening to Tuna's explanation, Huang Taiji instructed the guards to take Tuna out again, and then a young Baylor couldn't hold his breath and said: "Since the Ming Kingdom has been prepared for a long time, wouldn't we just run into the trap of the Ming Kingdom when we sent troops at this time?" Wouldn't it be the same as last year's expedition to the Ming Kingdom, and it would be in vain? ”

Obviously, the fierce battle under Zunhua City last year still left a deep memory on these young Baylors, so that they no longer regarded the Ming army as a weak and bullying enemy. For the Ming army outside Guanwai, which was already in good combat strength, after hearing that the other party had already prepared, many people's enthusiasm suddenly subsided a lot, and they began to weigh the gains and losses of the attack.

Seeing this, Yue Tuo hurriedly shouted: "Don't make any noise, since the King of Khan has put forward the idea of sending troops to the Ming Kingdom, I think I must be confident, calm down, listen to the arrangement of the King Khan, and then ask questions..."
