Chapter 232: Huang Taiji's hesitation
Liaodong, Shengjing, Houjin Palace.
Huang Taiji sat in the imperial study with a gloomy face, and kept turning the jade wrench in his hand.
Just came back from Daming, and the good mood of returning with a full load was ruined.
Fan Xuan of Zhangjiakou in northern Shanxi Province sent a messenger to report that the huge amount of materials they escorted had been stolen at the junction of the Mongolian Sunit Department and the Horqin Department.
Originally, he didn't care about this kind of thing, the things had not yet been transported to Shengjing, no matter how big the loss was, it had nothing to do with Dajin, Fan Xuan's envoy also emphasized again and again, he didn't dare to have the slightest complaint, and only begged for some time to let Fan Xuan and them reraise supplies.
Huang Taiji didn't embarrass the people sent by Fan Xuan, this trip to the capital of the Ming Dynasty has gained a lot of harvest, and there is a lot of food, so he can still afford to wait, and replied to the people who came with a pleasant face, just let them raise it as soon as possible, and there is no time limit.
It's just that the list of losses that was handed to him later made Huang Taiji's face black in an instant.
Grain, cloth, these things were taken away by those Mongols, and he didn't take it to heart, but these things lost later put a thorn in Huang Taiji's heart.
Armor, arrows, sulfur, and fine iron, the number is huge, and a large tribe like Horqin can be equipped with two, what do these Mongols want to do? Isn't the harvest for them not rich enough this time?
These insatiable, brazen, ill-intentioned, capricious villains!
Like Fan Xuan and others, so many massive materials have been stolen, and Huang Taiji also thinks that it is not something that a few small tribes can do, but it must be a few large tribes that collude with each other to have this ability.
Now it is no longer a question of whether to deal with Mongolia, but how to deal with it, the Mongols have obtained so many military supplies out of thin air, it is impossible for Daikin to turn a blind eye and leave a future for himself.
Huang Taiji had just taken advantage of this great victory to suppress the arrogance of the other three big Beyler-Daishan, Amin and Mang Gurtai, who had been at odds with him, and established his authority, but if this matter was not handled well, it would affect his prestige again, and the good situation would be lost.
Thinking of this, Huang Taiji greeted the ancestors of the Mongols for eight generations.
At the imperial meeting just now, except for Amin who remained inside and outside the Guan, the two major beylers and the four small beylers were all gathered in order to discuss how to deal with the Mongols after this incident.
As a Dajin Khan, he couldn't be as arbitrary as the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, but wanted to discuss the country's affairs with the three big Baylors and the four small Baylors, and what to implement the "Eight Harmony and Shuobeile Co-governance of the Country", Huang Taiji was also extremely aggrieved.
However, this is Nurhachi's last will, and Huang Taiji can't resist for the time being, but fortunately, the four little Baylors are basically under his control, and his voice has greatly increased.
Mang Gurtai's rammer, he only knows how to dance knives and guns, except for shouting and shouting and killing, what good advice can he have.
Dai Shan was no better, and actually proposed to forcibly integrate all the submissive Mongol tribes into the left and right wings of the formed Mongols, what is the difference between this and directly waging war against these tribes.
Dorgon's proposal, however, was somewhat interesting, and according to him, his measures, if implemented, would first of all teach the Mongols a harsh lesson and deter the tribes.
Second, it can greatly reduce Mongolia's combat strength, and no one will have the ability to unify Mongolia, so that it will completely lose the ability to threaten Daikin.
"Fan Zhangjing, what do you think?" Huang Taiji hesitated, but Dolgon's advice was still a bit tough, and he was afraid of causing a strong backlash from the Mongols, but it would benefit the fishermen of Chahar Lindan Khan, who had fled westward.
A figure walked out of the dark shadow in the room, came to Huang Taiji, knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, the slave is here!" ”
This person known as Fan Zhangjing is Fan Wencheng, who served in the Wenguan at this time, and was called "Zhangjing" by Huang Taiji, which means "general", and is not only regarded as a civilian official.
"Get up, there are only you and me here, so you don't need so much courtesy."
"Your Majesty, the ceremony must not be abolished." Fan Wencheng insisted.
"You." Huang Taiji seemed to be reproachful, but he enjoyed it very much in his heart.
The word His Majesty sounds more comfortable than what others shout "Khan" and "Great Khan", and Amin's guy is still calling him the title before he ascended the throne - Sibeile, which is unbearable, and sooner or later he will be abolished.
Coupled with this set of rules and etiquette, this is the emperor.
"Okay, tell me, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, the proposal of the Great Baylor and the Third Baylor is too strong to be feasible. Dolgonbele, the owner of the White Flag, had a good idea. Fan Wencheng stood up and replied.
"I'm asking for your opinion, Fan Zhangjing doesn't need to worry." Huang Taiji said with a pleasant face, Fan Wencheng's words just now did not make any sense.
"Your Majesty, at the turn of the Song and Yuan dynasties, after finishing the lessons of Yan Jinguo, I have to guard against it." Only then did Fan Wencheng confide in his heart.
Hearing the words "Wanyan Jin Kingdom", Huang Taiji was shocked, he knew that period of history, the Jin State established by Wanyan Aguta rose strongly, and swept the world with the posture of destroying Liao and the Northern Song Dynasty, but in the end it was destroyed by Mongolia.
They built a state and admitted that they were descendants of the Jurchens, so the country name was also "Jin", Fan Wencheng was reminding him that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, so be careful of Mongolia and don't repeat the mistakes of the Yan family?
After Yan Jinguo, these four words made Huang Taiji, who had always been a little hesitant, make a decision in an instant.
"Fan Zhangjing, I'm afraid that being too tough will cause a backlash from the Mongolian people, but it will ruin the current good situation." Huang Taiji voiced his worries.
"Your Majesty, how are the Mongols who entered the customs with us this time?" Fan Wencheng asked rhetorically.
Huang Taiji was asked such a rhetorical question, and his heart was bright, and his mind had been decided.
This time he entered the Ming Dynasty, with the Mongolian tribes of Guishun as guides and servants, except for the time when he broke the Great Wall pass, he played a role, and the performance at other times was really unsuccessful.
When the wind was blowing, the Mongolian army could not be said to be holding back, but it was chaotic between advance and retreat, not to mention playing a decisive role in the war, that is, there was not much auxiliary role, and it was quite positive to grab things.
For this reason, Huang Taiji reprimanded the accompanying Mongolian Taiji several times, asking them to restrain their subordinates and reorganize the ranks, but to no avail, he can see that these Mongolian Taiji have no ambitions, and they just want to get some benefits by following him into the customs.
When grabbing things, it is these Taiji who take the lead, the upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked, all of them have no strategy, and there is no ink on their chests, where can they restrain their subordinates.
In the event of a tough battle, such as the few times when he clashed with Man Gui and Yuan Chonghuan, the opponent's artillery bombarded, and the Mongolian Taiji immediately took the lead in scattering birds and beasts, and the ability to run away had a fight with those waste armies of the Ming Kingdom.
How could these Mongolian Taiji, whom he canonized, have the courage to resist the thunderous power of Dajin?
What we really need to do is to beware of the emergence of another Temujin-like lord in Mongolia to nip the danger in the bud.
"What Fan Zhangjing said is reasonable, I have made up my mind, do you have any suggestions?" Huang Taiji asked.
"Your Majesty, to lure it with profit, to suppress it with force, to occupy the righteousness, with the strategy of Dolgonbele, it is okay."
Huang Taiji's eyes lit up, "Oh, what a temptation, Zhang Jing will talk about it, I'll listen to it." ”
