Under Yue Tuo's scolding, the young Baylors finally quieted down. Huang Taiji looked at these young people and said: "Yes, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom is very cautious, and he actually came up with a military exercise to deal with it, and we may attack the Ming Kingdom this winter."

However, there are only thieves in this world who have been thieves for a thousand days, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days. The military exercises of the Ming Kingdom are a joke in my opinion, in addition to wasting the morale of the armies outside the Guanguan in vain, can it really scare us?

In the spring and summer of this year, the Ming court carried out the so-called suppression of the troops outside the Guan, saying that it was to crack down on those generals and local gentry who colluded with our country in private, but in fact it was a suppression of the Ming court's suppression of the generals in western Liaoning.

If you want me to say, the Ming court's rebellion is good, their rebellion, those Liaodong gentry and generals who were originally between me and the Ming Kingdom, have now fled to our country, the Ming Emperor is afraid that we are not familiar enough with the land of Liaoxi, and sent a large number of guides to lead the way..."

Huang Taiji's witty words suddenly made the Baylors, who had just become a little nervous, smile. They thought about it, isn't this true, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom wanted to strengthen the loyalty of the troops outside the gate to the imperial court, but now a large number of officials and gentry fled to Houjin, and the Ming army outside the gate should be in panic at this moment.

Glancing at the Baylors below, Huang Taiji continued: "According to the information of these gentry and Ming generals who fled to our country, although the Ming State did not continue to build fortresses in the area north of Jinzhou in the past two years, it has strengthened the defense line of Ningyuan, and it seems that it intends to resist our country in the area north of Ningyuan.

Since China used troops against Ningjin 2 or 3 years ago, our ** team has not crossed the area south of Jinzhou, so we are now confused about how the fortifications in the Ningyuan area are built. Therefore, it is necessary for us to carry out a tentative attack on Ningyuan-Jinzhou before officially attacking the Ningjin-Jinzhou front.

This attack is not only to find out the newly built fortifications on the Ningyuan-Jinzhou line, but also to find out the combat effectiveness of the Ming army outside the Guanwai, and more importantly, we must make those Ming people think that their military exercises have been successful and have successfully blocked the attack of our army. In this way, the Ming Kingdom will take it lightly, and when my army attacks again, it will be able to attack them by surprise.

Therefore, this time the tentative offensive not only had to show full momentum and show the prestige of our Houjin army, but also chose to retreat at the right time, so as not to let the assembled Ming army take advantage. Such a difficult task, I think it is none other than the Blue Flag Baylor among the Eight Banners. ”

Mang Gurtai got up and saluted Huang Taiji in the middle, before he opened his mouth and said, "The Khan King handed over such an important task to Zhenglanqi, and the minister should have gladly accepted it." However, considering that this matter is very important and is related to the safety of the Jin Kingdom after me, the minister did not dare to rashly accept it.

The Khan should know that from last year's expedition to this year's inspection of the steppe tribes, my Zhenglan Banner has not recuperated for nearly two years, and it can be said that the soldiers are tired and tired, and it may be difficult to take on this important task to attack the prepared army of Ningjin with such a tired army. ”

Huang Taiji knew that Mang Gurtai was not so easy to take on such a task, so he immediately said: "I also know that Zhenglanqi has been working hard recently, but for the sake of the future of my Houjin Kingdom, the fifth brother should still take on a little more responsibility." In this way, the blue flag has been sitting in Shenyang since last year, and it can be said that it has been recuperating for a long time. Let Zilharang be the fifth brother's deputy, and the two blue flags will carry out the task of attacking Ningjin, and I will let Hauge and Dolgon lead the troops to meet you in Hexi, what does the fifth brother think? ”

Mang Gurtai still shook his head and said: "If the Khan King asks Hauge to go into battle with me with the yellow flag, then the minister can still try, but Zilharang?" As far as his command under Zunhua City last year was concerned, the minister was worried that my Zhenglan Banner would not be able to withstand such a loss.

In addition, the army in the Jin Kingdom is not the only one in my Jurchen Eight Banners, why didn't the Khan King levy the Mongol tribes and those Han troops who thought it was the forerunner of our army? Since it was just a tentative attack, it would be better to let the Mongols and Han people bleed than to let my Jurchen disciples bleed.

In this world, only hounds catch prey and dedicate it to their masters, how can any master go to great lengths to hunt prey, but it is used to feed the hounds? Those Mongols are divided into various banners, so they can be regarded as relatives of our Jurchens. But what are those Han Chinese?

When his father Khan was alive, he once ordered all the Han people to be subordinated to the villages of Khan and Beile, with thirteen dings and seven cattle per village, and cultivated land for 100 days, and 80 villages for "self-consumption" and 20 days for "official endowment". In this way, I, the Jurchens, do not have to worry about the use of the land at home, and just fight hard for the Khan King.

But since the king of Khan succeeded to the throne, he ordered the pardon of the fleeing Han Nikan, and said that they were also the people of our Houjin kingdom, and that we were not allowed to humiliate them and force them to become our slaves. The king of Khan also changed the policy of his father Khan, and only gave eight strong men and two oxen to each emperor for the envoy order. The rest of the Han people are divided into separate residences, organized into private households, and the upright people of the Han officials are selected to govern them.

Now I, the Jurchens, have to send troops to fight for the Khan King, and I have to go to the fields to cultivate the fields myself, which can be described as unbearable labor. I ask the Khan to be sympathetic to the hard work of my Jurchen sons, or to restore the old government of my father's Khan, and let those Han people continue to work for us, so that we can fight for the Khan with peace of mind; Or send the Han people into an army and distribute them to the Eight Banners, so that my Jurchen children can shed less blood on the battlefield.

The minister's heartfelt words, please think twice. ”

Huang Taiji's left eyelid jumped unconsciously, and Mang Gurtai's words that he didn't know the general situation made his chest very blocked. But he kept one last bit of clarity and swallowed the breath back. The reason why Huang Taiji was able to stay calm was because he saw that the young Baylors below were all nodding their heads, obviously agreeing with the third Baylor's speech.

Although today's Huang Taiji is no longer as weak and powerless as he was when he first ascended the throne, he is still not as strong as he was in the Eight Banners. This is also why in today's meeting, he only left the children of the Aixin Jueluo family to discuss, because these children are more likely to feel the harm to them from the fall of the Later Jin Kingdom, and Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai have also lost the support of the Eight Banners nobles.

As Huang Taiji expected, under the lure of him and Yue Tuo, these young people from the Aixin Jueluo family soon sided with him and isolated Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai. But what he didn't expect was that Mang Gurtai would actually raise other questions about the Manchu and Han at this time, which was completely flipping the table.

He knew these young Baylors better than Mang Gurtai, these young people who had not followed their father and brother in the mountains and forests since childhood, did not know the difficulty of starting a business, and did not know the time when those Han generals regarded the Jurchens as beasts and hounds before his father Khan raised his army. They were empty-eyed, but they looked down on the Mongols, Han Chinese, and Koreans who were defeated by their father Khan, but they did not even command a single Niulu themselves.

They were greedy and wanted to get all the best things in the world, but they lost the simplicity and diligence of the Jurchens, and they only wanted to get everything they wanted from swords and bows and arrows, but they refused to do some physical labor in a down-to-earth manner. Mang Gurtai's words today just hit the ** in their hearts, what better way to get rich quickly than turning these Han people into their own slaves?

It is precisely because these young Baylors are only present at today's meeting that Mang Gurtai can easily throw out the topic of restoring the old system of his father Khan, just like Mang Gurtai who has just been isolated and helpless, and now Huang Taiji himself has fallen into passivity.

"When did the fifth brother become so shrewd, it seems that he wants to check if there is anyone around him who has given him advice." Huang Taiji stared at Mang Gurtai's face and thought so in his heart.

At this time, he proposed to reactivate the old policy of his father Khan on the Han people in China, Huang Taiji did not believe that Mang Gurtai would not know, this practice was to create a split within the Later Jin, so that those Han people in the country would be separated from the Hou Jin. Before today, Huang Taiji believed that although the four major Baylors were vying for power and profit, everyone's purpose should be the same, so that the country could grow up healthy and strong, so this power struggle should be the bottom line.

So he disposed of Amin, but he wouldn't go to the organization inside the Blue Flag. But I didn't expect that he, the fifth brother, had fallen to such a point, and in order to compete for power and profit with himself, he didn't even care about the future of Houjin.

Huang Taiji's heart was both angry and heartbroken, and the most annoying thing was that no matter what he reacted to now, there seemed to be a lot of trouble. The opposition to Mang Gurtai's statement will undoubtedly disappoint these young Baylors, and may make them fall to the side of Mang Gurtai, greatly increasing Mang Gurtai's voice in the court.

But he can't agree with it, because once it comes out, not only those Han officials will be disappointed in him, but even those low-level Han people will turn their backs on Houjin.

Huang Taiji was racking his brains to think about how to deal with this situation vaguely, and then find a way to solve this crooked wind that divided the Manchu Han people, when he heard Yue Tuo suddenly pointing at him and shouting: "Blood, King Khan, blood, you have a nosebleed." ”

Huang Taiji subconsciously wiped it with the back of his hand, and sure enough, a blood stain remained on the back of his hand, and the nosebleeds began to drip continuously. Yue Tuo was already anxious at this time to call the guards who were waiting on the side, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing there, hurry up and send the King Khan back to the harem to rest, and go to someone else to call the imperial doctor over, today's meeting will end here first, all disperse, disperse." ”

Huang Taiji stood up with the support of the two guards, and when he left, he did not forget to apologize to Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai and said: "The weather has been dry in the past two days, and the anger is a little big, so please forgive the two brothers." It seems that this is the only end of today's meeting, and we will continue next time. ”

Dai Shan hurriedly replied: "King Khan's body is important, let's go back and rest quickly, when King Khan is healthy, let's discuss it again, anyway, the Ming people can't move Ning Jin back to Guannai." Why don't you help the Khan back to the palace, and you are all waiting carefully..."

When Yue Tuo led someone to help Huang Taiji away, the people in the Dazheng Hall also left, and only Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai were left.

Dai Shan turned to look at Mang Gurtai, and after being silent for a long time, he asked softly: "Old Five, is it worth tearing your face like this?" Taking a step back is not necessarily a sea and a sky. ”

Mang Gurtai looked at the Nanmu gold lacquer screen behind the seat, and only replied faintly after a long time: "The second brother has a good son, but there is a possibility of taking a step back." But what about the big brother? At first, he wanted to retreat, but did his father Khan give him a chance? What kind of life Du Du lived in Shenyang, the second brother didn't know that the king of Khan didn't use him as a thief, forcing him to go to the Ming Kingdom. The second brother thinks, if I retreat, will it be the second Dudu? ”

Dai Shan was speechless, he arched his hand at Mang Gurtai and said, "Okay, it's me who talks too much, I still have to go my own way, I'll go first." ”

Dai Shan walked a few steps towards the door, then suddenly stopped and said, "The Ming Kingdom sent a messenger who lives in Sanguan Temple. ”

After Dai Shan finished speaking, he continued to walk forward and walked out of the Great Political Palace, and Mang Gurtai shook his sleeves and said to himself: "Sanguan Temple..."
