Zhu Youzhen didn't give Dai Shan too much time to think, and he continued: "It seems that Da Beile hasn't figured it out until now, the Houjin Kingdom exists because of Aixin Jueluo, not because of Aixin Jueluo." ”

Dai Shan looked at Chongzhen with some confusion, "What does Your Majesty mean by this?" ”

Zhu Youzhen looked into Dai Shan's eyes and said, "It means that without the Houjin Kingdom of Great Baylor, does it still make sense for Big Baylor to exist?"

Like Guangluo Baylor, he opened up territory for the Houjin Kingdom, but the Houjin Kingdom can't even accommodate his son now, what is the significance of such a Houjin State to Guangluo Baylor?

If the Great Baylor is gone, will your family property really fall into the hands of your son? Or like Du Du, he was robbed of his property..."

Dai Shan's heart was certainly touched, but he still said stiffly: "Even if Your Majesty is right, but the hatred between Da Ming and Hou Jin is too great, and it is difficult to guarantee that this is not a ploy by Your Majesty to sow discord."

After me, the people of the Jin Kingdom were poor, and only by uniting as one could we resist the conquest of the Ming Dynasty. If I do such a thing, in the future, the country will be ruined and the family will be destroyed, how will I meet my father Khan under the Nine Springs? ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said: "Da Baylor's knowledge is really too shallow, Liaodong is a bitter cold place, and what is commendable is just some ginseng and mink. I am guarding the eighteen provinces of Han in the Ming Dynasty, what rare treasures can't be produced?

There are only some ginseng and mink, why is it surprising? Even if there is a need, it can be easily obtained by simply carrying out trade exchanges, so why do you have to send a large army to capture Liaodong?

As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, even if I lose the land of Liaodong, I am still the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Could it be that for the sake of a bitter cold land, I have to work diligently to make the people in the world boiling, and even the eighteen provinces of Han land have rioted in the people's upheaval?

So, I want peace, not the elimination of Houjin. And the same is true of the Great Baylor, only when the two countries are at peace, will your position as the Great Baylor be secure. ”

Dai Shan's eyes began to flicker, and the courage that forced him to go to Chongzhen's tent began to disappear. Instead, he missed the women and young children in the family, and the nostalgia for the furniture he had worked so hard to accumulate.

Since he was a child, he has followed his father to fight on the battlefield, and the number of times he has crossed with death, Dai Shan can't even remember it. However, at this moment, Dai Shan is particularly afraid of death. He struggled for so many years, and finally built the Houjin Kingdom with his father Khan, but before he had time to enjoy a few days, he was about to die here, and he couldn't help but ask: Why?

Dai Shan removed his gaze from Chongzhen, and said in a rather weak tone: "In Yizhou City, there are not only me with red flags, but also with yellow flags and Han troops, I'm afraid it's not Your Majesty who wants to burn it."

What's more, like many people participating in this war today, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will bring this war back to China, and how can the ministers defend themselves when they arrive? Rather than being confined in the mansion in disgrace, it is better to die on the battlefield and retain some reputation. ”

Zhu Youzhen said disapprerovingly: "What's so difficult about that, since Big Baylor feels that he can't do it alone, just ask Hauger Baylor to also participate."

There is a saying in my Ming officialdom, called: deceive the upper and lower than the subordinate. You and Hauge have teamed up to do this, does anyone dare to tell Huang Taiji that he can't do it? It doesn't matter if I offend you, no one will want to get along with the future Houjin Khan, right? ”

Dai Shan immediately turned his gaze back, looked at Zhu Youzhen and said with a complicated expression: "Haoge is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, how can he deceive his father with his ministers, Your Majesty is whimsical." ”

Zhu Youzhen said softly: "Will the Houjin Kingdom appoint the eldest son of the Khan who was captured by my Ming Dynasty as the Great Khan?" ”

The back of Dai Shan's head suddenly became smart, and he asked tentatively, "Your Majesty is preparing to release Hauge?" ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said, "When did I arrest Hauge, wasn't it saved by Da Baylor's life?" ”

Dai Shan's body quickly became a little hot, he reached out and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then said: "Haoge lost half of the yellow flag, and was burned to the Yizhou warehouse, even if he goes back safely, the position of the Khan King has little to do with him." Knowing this, will he also do what His Majesty wants? ”

Hearing that Dai Shan couldn't wait to put the responsibility for the burning of Yizhou Cang on Haoge, Zhu Youzhen knew that his persuasion had worked.

"It's just that after suffering a defeat, Huang Taiji can kill his relatives in righteousness? Does he have a second adult son who can lead a banner? Besides, isn't there still Big Baylor for you to protect him, this matter will not make any waves. ”

Chongzhen asked him to go to Bao Haoge afterwards, and Dai Shan was quite surprised for a while, but he quickly reacted, this is indeed a good way. Now he and Hauge are in the same boat, and keeping Hauge is equivalent to saving himself.

As the only adult son of Huang Taiji, he led a banner alone. Although Huang Taiji has not officially announced, many people in Houjin have regarded Haoge as Huang Taiji's heir and invested a lot in him.

If the news that Haoge was captured by the Ming army spreads, not only will he not have a chance to take the throne of Khan, but it is estimated that the identity of the banner lord Baylor will also be taken. Then the Jurchen relatives who once invested in him are equivalent to losing all their money.

He is now tied to Hauge through this incident, but he has indirectly formed an alliance with the Jurchen relatives behind Hauge. In order to keep their investment, these people will definitely do their best to suppress rumors about this war. This is also known as bullying and not concealing it.

Dai Shan thought about it for a long time before he made up his mind and said to Chongzhen: "If Haoge can agree, the minister is willing to act according to His Majesty's orders." If Hauge refuses, then the minister..."

Dai Shan opened his mouth for a long time, but finally couldn't spit out a word of martyrdom. Zhu Youzhen waved his hand to interrupt Dai Shan, who was indecisive, and said: "If it can't be done, please ask Haoge to come up and ask, just invite Haoge to me..."

Dai Shan finally closed his mouth, and after a while, Du Du and one of the guards carried the big tied up Haoge into the big tent. Dai Shan looked at Hauge still having a piece of cotton tied around his neck, and was a little stunned for a while.

Zhu Youzhen whispered to him: "When Haoge's subordinates surrendered, he couldn't think of committing suicide for a while, and was stopped. Fortunately, it was just a little scratched, and it was no big deal. Zhu Youzhen raised his voice again and said: "Du Du, what are you still doing, loosen the tie for Haoge, and let people send two tables of wine and food in..."

Although he was untied, Hauge still looked angry, glaring at Du Du who was sitting next to him, as if he wanted to pounce and tear him at any time.

However, when he saw that Dai Shan was sitting next to the emperor, he was immediately diverted and subconsciously asked, "Why is Da Baylor also here?" Are you also taken captive? ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't want to entangle with Haoge, he knocked on the cup in front of him, and after attracting Haoge's attention, he reprimanded Haoge: "Since you have become a prisoner of my subordinates, I treat each other with courtesy, you should also know some etiquette, is this how your father taught you to talk to the Venerable at home?" ”

Haoge was stunned, and finally lowered his head and tidied up his clothes, bowed to Chongzhen and said, "Houjin Guohaoge visited Emperor Daming." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded with satisfaction, motioned for him to be polite, and then said to him: "I asked you to come here to tell you."

Since the signing of the peace treaty, I have never breached the contract. But for his own selfishness, your father broke the covenant three times and twice and attacked our country. Since I have captured you, I should have cut off your head to sacrifice the soldiers and civilians who died in my Ming Dynasty, so that your father could also taste the pain of losing his loved ones.

However, God has the virtue of a good life, in order to prevent the people of the two countries from continuing to suffer from military disasters, I decided to write a letter to your father, as long as he withdraws his troops and releases the captured Ming soldiers and civilians, I will let you go back, what do you think? ”

Hearing that Chongzhen was going to write a letter to inform his father that he had been captured by the Ming army, he wanted to use him as a hostage in exchange for his father's retirement. Hauge's anger after being captured immediately turned into fear.

In the Later Jin Dynasty, except for Du Du and Erli, who took the initiative to defect to the Ming Dynasty, there had never been a Baylor with such an identity as him who had been captured by the Ming army, and he didn't look like Da Baylor had been captured.

Although Hauge is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, he knows that his father actually does not like him, but is always wary of him. Because his mother was born in the Ula tribe of the four tribes of the Hercynian Dynasty, but the Ula tribe was destroyed by the Mandate of Heaven Khan, and his mother was also ordered by the Mandate of Heaven Khan to divorce his father.

Therefore, although he was born to Huang Taiji's step-concubine and the eldest son, he should have established the position of the prince long ago, but Huang Taiji has never expressed his position, as if he was worried that his mother family would rise again through him.

Haoge's desperate performance on the battlefield is to prove his ability in front of Huang Taiji, and he doesn't want to be abandoned by his father. Otherwise, with his identity, if Huang Taiji wants to make other sons his sons, he will inevitably deal with him first, lest he be unfavorable to the heir.

If his father knew that he had fallen into the trap of the Ming army, not only lost half of the yellow flag, but was also captured by the Ming army, Hauge felt that his future was simply pitch black, and he had nothing to love.

Haoge was silent, but Zhu Youzhen did not let him go, and continued to ask him: "What, are you dissatisfied with my proposal?" ”

Hauge said hesitantly: "Father Khan has always put the country first, and he will not withdraw his troops because of me, and His Majesty's wish cannot be achieved." ”

Zhu Youzhen suddenly said in surprise: "Tiger poison is not yet eaten, and your father is too disdainful of you." Okay, so tell me, do you want to live? ”

Hauge subconsciously reached out and touched his neck, he had just been bombarded by the Ming army's artillery, and when he saw his subordinates disarming and surrendering, he had the courage to draw his knife and commit suicide. But after being shut down from the ghost gate, he wanted to live again.

After being silent for a long time, Haoge said weakly: "The ants are still stealing life, and the minister naturally wants to live." However, if you live in disrepute, the minister will ask His Majesty to give him a good time. ”

Zhu Youzhen said a little unbearably: "I want your father to withdraw his troops, and you also want to live well, Big Belle, isn't there any way to get the best of both worlds?" ”

Dai Shanhu listened to the conversation between Chongzhen and Haoge suspiciously, and it wasn't until Chongzhen asked him a question that he understood, it turned out that the emperor wanted him to make this proposal.

He was silent for a moment, cleared his throat and said, "Is there a way to get the best of both worlds, in fact, there are still some ways, as long as you burn down the warehouse in Yiju..."
