In the Chongzheng Palace, Huang Taiji is dealing with government affairs, his spirit is obviously a lot better, although he has lost a lot of weight some time ago, but since the news from North Korea, he seems to have recovered into a big fat man.

In the course of his handling of government affairs, he would occasionally stop his movements and listen attentively. When he heard the faint voices of people outside, he was not noisy at all, and he was just relieved that the city of Shenyang had finally regained some vitality!

And Aobai, who was standing in the main hall, was also relieved when he saw a smile after listening to him, and the people he arranged made the emperor a little happier after all.

In one morning, the government affairs handled by Huang Taiji were almost comparable to the amount of the previous day, his thinking was quick, he could deal with various situations, and he didn't feel dizzy. He put down the imperial pen, stood up and walked, and at the same time smiled and asked Aobai, who came over: "It seems that the oath of peace under me is still useful, and my people, do you still believe in me!" Now, as long as I, the Qing army and the people, are united, it should not be a problem to tide over this difficulty. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "Sony should be at Anshan Post Fort at this time, right?" ”

Ao Bai didn't dare to tell the emperor about his small actions, and when he heard the question, he hurriedly replied: "The news from Liaoyang the day before yesterday said that he had set off for Anshan Post Fort, and now he must have arrived!" ”

Huang Taiji naturally knew about this. At this time, when he heard this, he nodded and said: "Before Sony left, he made a military order, and he will definitely delay the Qing Dynasty." He is a good person, and his intelligence is also good among our Manchurians, I believe in him! ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Aobai, and suddenly said: "You, remember, courage alone is not enough, you must use your brains more, so that I can be entrusted with important tasks with confidence in the future, understand?" ”

When I heard this, I was very unhappy, when did I only have courage and no brains? You're so happy now, isn't it because I secretly thought of a good way to make you happy? But he didn't dare to show it, he just bowed his head and agreed.

Huang Taiji just said it in passing, and after he finished speaking, he paced towards the gate of the hall, and said at the same time: "Shenyang City has regained its vitality, I am very happy, I want to go out for a walk, you can arrange it!" ”

When Ao Bai heard this, his face suddenly changed, although it is true that Shenyang City is not as lifeless as before, but it is far from what he hears now. If the emperor goes out to take a look, he will find that there is a problem. What to do?

Just as Ao Bai was in a hurry, suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside. Sensitively, the two of them looked out of the hall almost in unison.

I saw an attendant turn into the main hall and say to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, someone who claims to be Fan Wencheng's person, has a waist card seal as evidence, coming from the Dongjiang Army, there is an emergency military report!" ”

Hearing this, Huang Taiji was slightly stunned, and then remembered that he had carte blanche to Fan Wencheng, and even promised him a king with a different surname, that is, that he would arrange eyes and ears for the Qing Dynasty, not only in the Ming army, but also in the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty must have eyes and ears to avoid becoming deaf and blind all the time.

Before Fan Wencheng finally left Liaodong and went to the Ming State Pass, he did tell himself, saying that it was not easy for other Ming troops to install anti-Ming troops, and only the Dongjiang Army made small progress. He also said that after he came back, he would continue to find a way to do this in the Ming armies in Liaodong.

Now that the people have not returned, the people arranged in the Dongjiang Army have a role, and it seems that Fan Wencheng is better than others after all. It's just a pity that he has been in Kannai for so long and there is no news, there may be an accident!

Huang Taiji only thought about it for a while, and then immediately issued an order to bring the man up to meet him. After finishing the order, he turned around and sat down on the throne, thinking in his heart, the Dongjiang army didn't know what news there was, and it would make this person rush back at the expense of revealing his identity?

He really had a flexible brain, and he immediately thought of a few days ago, Liaoyang Amin reported that the Ming army in Anshan Post Fort was not collecting at night, and the activities were increasing. In the past, this kind of abnormal behavior was sometimes a trick used by the Ming army to attract the attention of the Qing Dynasty.

Thinking about it like this, Huang Taiji suddenly became a little nervous. During the period before the autumn harvest, he was most afraid of using knives and guns! Let's get along well, can't we lie down and pretend to be dead?

He was thinking about it, complaining in his heart, when he saw that one person was almost carried in by two chamberlains. When he arrived in the temple, as soon as he let go, his feet were weak, and he didn't stand still, but fell directly to the ground.

Huang Taiji could see that this was because he was riding a horse day and night, and his legs were numb, so it seemed that there was really some important military information!

Just when he was nervous, he heard this person say: "The slave is the Liao people who Lord Fan pretended to be hurt by the Qing Dynasty and mixed into Jinzhou. The minion is called ......"

Hearing that he didn't immediately say the point, Huang Taiji, who was already a little anxious, didn't want to know who he was, and immediately reprimanded and interrupted: "What kind of military situation, play it immediately!" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai, is leading the elite of the Dongjiang Army, including the Ma Bu Army, at least 5,000 people, and is going to fight Seoul in Korea!" ”

As soon as he heard the news, Huang Taiji was stunned for a moment, his mind turned sharply, and he immediately thought that the Ming army was intensifying its scouting efforts at Anshan Post Fort, just to make a move in North Korea? He had just made an order to increase the number of troops on the Korean side, and the Ming army was just about to prepare to attack Seoul......

If Hancheng was defeated by the Ming army, the connection between the Qing Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom would definitely be severed, so that the alliance between the Qing Dynasty and Xiyi would be yellow, even if it was not yellow, it would be very difficult to connect in the future, and the hope of the Qing Dynasty Zhongxing would not be broken?

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji couldn't sit still, and finally got in touch with Xiyi, with the opportunity to make up for the shortcomings of the Qing Dynasty and no longer be afraid of the Ming army shrinking into the city, how could he let this opportunity be lost from his hands!

He immediately stood up, propped his hands on the desk, leaned forward, and asked sharply: "The specific situation, one by one, there must be no omission!" ”

Extrapolating from the time, the Ming army should have had this plan a long time ago, and it was almost the same time as he sent Sonny to Anshan Post Fort. The relationship between this must be clarified!

The man ran back after a lot of hard work, and took this opportunity to meet the Qing Emperor, but the rumored emperor who was wise and martial did not give him the impression of being wise and martial, just a big fat man with an impatient personality. While he was a little disappointed in his heart, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly re-described what he had seen in detail.

Huang Taiji listened carefully, and soon caught the unreasonable situation, and he immediately asked to confirm: "You said that Lu Xiangsheng personally led the Ma Bujun from the land route to Korea. And what about their sailors? Why don't you take a sailor's boat by sea? ”

The man was stunned when he heard this, and cried out in his heart, you ask me, who do I ask? Do I dare to ask Lu Zhongcheng?

Huang Taiji's sternness made him a little scared, and at this time, he was in no mood to invite merit, lowered his head and hurriedly replied: "The slave doesn't know, the slave is in Jinzhou, and he hasn't seen the sailor for a long time." ”

"No trace of the sailor?" Huang Taiji muttered this key information in his mouth, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he was a little confirmed in his heart: By the way, it must be Lu Xiangsheng who knows that with the 5,000 men and horses of the Dongjiang Army, he will definitely not be able to defeat Hancheng, so those sailors of the Ming Kingdom should be going to transport other Ming troops in Liaodong to Korea!

The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible. Suddenly, he became even more nervous, and the price of losing Seoul was something he could not afford. So, after waving his hand and sending away the messenger, he immediately summoned the prince Baylor urgently to discuss the matter!

Hearing this news, these Manchu princes Baylor naturally scolded their mothers one by one, hating the Ming army why they didn't stop and stop, they knew that they were tossing the Qing Dynasty all day long!

After hearing this, one of the leaders of Jianyu said with a hint of hope: "Now that our Qing Dynasty has sent a peace envoy, will the Ming army stop and stop fighting Seoul?" ”

His words were immediately refuted by Zilharang, and seeing that Jilharang's face was extremely grim, he responded to his words, and at the same time said to Huang Taiji: "The attack on Seoul is likely to be commanded by the governor of Denglai." On the side of Anshan Yibao, it is just Cao Wenzhao's general army, and he has no power to restrain Lu Xiangsheng, unless it is Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, it is possible for Lu Xiangsheng to suspend his actions. And now that Lu Xiangsheng has set off, there is some danger on the side of Seoul! ”

Speaking of this, he immediately turned to look at Huang Taiji, and said in a slightly brisk voice: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that no matter whether the Ming Kingdom believes in the sincerity of my Qing Dynasty's peace talks, our Qing Dynasty should send troops to reinforce Seoul as soon as possible!" Seoul must not be lost! ”

Dai Shan also nodded immediately, and followed: "Yes, if you can defeat the Ming army that attacked Hancheng, even if the Ming Kingdom does not believe in the sincerity of my Qing peace talks, I believe that my Qing Dynasty will be able to survive after the autumn harvest." ”

The others listened and chimed in. For this bit of common sense, these people all have it. Only Haoge was scolding his mother while echoing: I have reported such important news, your Ming Kingdom went to fight North Korea, it is indeed a wonderful move, and it is on the seven inches of the Qing Dynasty, and it may not be able to act quietly, but now that it is known here, it is strange that you can still beat Seoul! It seems that after returning home, I must let Qian Fugui talk to Mingguo well!

After a military discussion, Huang Taiji made a decision: although the domestic forces of the Qing Dynasty were also stretched, as long as the front-line troops facing the Ming army on the Liaoyang side were not mobilized, and the troops from other places were mobilized to reinforce as much as possible, it was still possible.

What Hauge didn't expect was that Huang Taiji ordered his general and asked him to lead reinforcements to reinforce Korea. At the end of the military discussion, Huang Taiji summoned Haoge alone, and said with a serious face: "I will transfer the elite of the two yellow flags and bring them to North Korea by you, you should try to be as optimistic as possible." If necessary, you can also personally lead the army to the Wa Kingdom, while showing the strength of our Qing army, and at the same time try to communicate with Xiyi yourself, understand? ”

Hauge was stunned at first, then overjoyed. Huang Ama means that he is trying to guard against Dorgon, right? If so, then his status as the emperor's younger brother ......

As he was thinking about it, he heard Huang Taiji continue: "Your character is reckless, and Dolgon has always looked down on you, so he shouldn't have much defense against you. There shouldn't be many problems with contact with Xiyi. You first set up the front station, and when I free up my hand, if necessary, I will go to North Korea in person and discuss things with Xiyi in person, so that it is the most beneficial to the Qing Dynasty, and it can also allow Xiyi to help me make up for the shortcomings of the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible! ”

As soon as Hauge heard this, he suddenly thought more in his heart, what does Huang Ama mean by this? Is it to use his own somewhat stupid reasons to pave the way for his connection with Xiyi? In the eyes of your Emperor Ama, am I so unbearable?

Thinking about it, he was furious!

"Did you hear that?" Huang Taiji saw that Haoge was stunned, and immediately became angry again. For this son, he really hates iron and steel, but there is no way, he is such an adult son, "Do what I give you seriously, don't delay, otherwise I will be careful with your skin, and I will personally whip you!" ”

When Haoge heard this, his hatred was monstrous, but under the obscenity of Huang Taiji, he didn't dare to express it, and hurriedly agreed.

He didn't know that sometimes, although the father treated his son harshly, it was just the reason why he had too high expectations, hated iron and steel, and looked forward to him becoming a Chan.

There is a saying: love is deep, responsibility is keen. Although Huang Taiji can't talk about how much love he has for Haoge, he treats his dissatisfied son with some of this. It's just that Hauge is really stupid, or rather, there are many sons who don't know what Lao Tzu really meant, and only listen to the superficial scolding, and don't think much about it.

Therefore, when Hauge returned to his mansion, he was furious again. Then he summoned Qian Fugui separately and told Ming Guo about Huang Taiji's latest countermeasures.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard the news, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Unexpectedly, a small temporary arrangement really led to a mole, and after Huang Taiji heard the report, his reaction was so strong. In this way, it is also good, at least the strength of the Manchu Qing on the side of Liaodong has been weakened a lot, and when it comes to fighting back, it will be much easier.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered something again, as if Hauge led the troops over, not just to meet those nobles who came to take credit. Originally, I thought that under the pressure of Hong Chengchou's troops on the grassland side, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would transfer to North Korea, and at that time it would help me to clean up the moths on the Ming Dynasty. Of course, if these nobles can survive Hauge's attack, it proves that they still have the ability, and they can still use it when they go back. If it's really useless, then it's just right to die!

After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about it. On the Haizhou side, the army has basically been assembled, and the materials for Gaizhou have also been transported to Haizhou. It's almost time for the royal driver to come to Anshan Post Castle in person!
