Chapter 211 The Eight Kings Discuss Politics

Huang Taiji, the Tiancong Khan of the Later Jin Kingdom, had high hopes for the joint expedition of Dongjiang Town with the blue flag and the red flag. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In his opinion, the Eastern Expeditionary Army, which concentrated most of the main forces inlaid with blue flags and red flags, as well as a large number of cannon fodder from the Fuzhou soldiers of Liu Aita brothers, even if it cannot eliminate Dongjiang Town in one fell swoop, will definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on Dongjiang Town, at least pull out all the strongholds of Dongjiang Town on the land of the Korean Peninsula, and squeeze the power of Dongjiang Town on those small islands in the sea.

If this is done, then in the autumn and winter, Huang Taiji can safely lead the main force of the Later Jin army to the west to conquer Mongolia.

At that time, whether it is Lin Dan Khan, who will continue to conquer Chahar, or destroy the Karaqin Department that is now following the Ming Dynasty, he will have a vast space to move around, and he will no longer have to be subject to the major hidden dangers of Dongjiang Town, which is close to the heart.

But Amin and Azig, the two arrogant and domineering fools on weekdays, returned unexpectedly defeated.

The two of them lost so many soldiers, but they didn't even hurt the fur of the Ming army in Dongjiang Town, which not only broke the myth that the Jurchens were not satisfied with 10,000 and were invincible, and dealt a heavy blow to the military prestige of the Jurchen Eight Banners, but also disrupted the wishful thinking that Huang Taiji had planned in his heart for a long time.

The westward expedition originally scheduled for autumn and winter seems to have to be postponed, and the original plan to open a bypass to Mongolia to conquer the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty this winter seems to have to be postponed.

This is the point that makes Huang Taiji especially angry in his heart.

Today's Huang Taiji is not the four Baylors of the past, but the Tiancong Khan of the Dajin Kingdom, whoever makes him angry, who will have to bear the consequences of this anger, and who will have to pay the price.

Azig was dead, and his red flag was taken away, and there was certainly no need for any more punishment now.

However, Amin, the owner of the blue flag, not only did not make an inch of success in this battle, but also made the red flag lose his soldiers, and at the same time, his own blue flag basically returned with the whole division, and his strength did not suffer much loss, so Amin soon became the target of public criticism.

In particular, the brothers Dorgon and Duoduo, who were very angry after the death of their own brother, although they dared not speak out against Huang Taiji, Dai Shan, Mang Gurtai and others for awarding the red flag to Yue Tuo, but the two brothers quickly transferred this anger to Amin's head.

On Amin's way back, Dorgon and Duoduo repeatedly asked Khan Huang Taiji to investigate the cause of Azig's death and see if there was something else going on.

Sixteen-year-old Dolgon, though not very old, was the owner of the banner that the old slave Hachi had appointed before his death, and now he and his own brother Dordor, one with a white flag, the other with a white flag.

Although the strength of the two brothers is much inferior to Huang Taiji's two yellow flags, the two brothers are also the owners of the genuine brand.

Now the two brothers, Dorgon and Dord, one is sixteen years old and the other is fourteen years old, because they are underage, they have not really enjoyed the treatment of the eight kings sitting together, but if they say it, Huang Taiji still has to take it seriously.

Anyway, cleaning up Amin is also Huang Taiji's long-cherished wish, as long as there is an opportunity, he will not let it go, not to mention that now he has such a good opportunity.

After Dorgon took Dorgon to Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji quickly made up his mind, as he found that Dorgon and the Dodor brothers would also be his helpers in disposing of and weakening Amin.

Now, at least six of the Jurchen Eight Banners will stand on his side, which makes Huang Taiji confident and victorious.

Among the eight banners of Jianyu, two yellow flags are in the hands of Huang Taiji and his eldest son Haoge, the red flag and the red flag are in the hands of Daishan and Daishan's eldest son Yue Tuo, and the white flag and the inlaid white flag are in the hands of Dolgon and Duoduo respectively, which are the six flags.

Even if the banner owner of the Zhenglan Banner, Mang Gurtai, still does not cooperate as always, it doesn't matter, as long as Huang Taiji and Dai Shan join forces and restore the eight-king political system arranged by the old slave Nuer Hachi before his death, then even if Mang Gurtai and Amin join forces, it is a six-to-two situation, and it is not the opponent of Huang Taiji's side.

When Nuer Hachi died, on the one hand, he was worried about the wolf-like adult sons and cleaning up the three Azig brothers, and on the other hand, in order to retain the old customs of the Jurchen tribe, he came up with a system of eight kings discussing politics.

That is to say, once he died, he asked the seven sons and one nephew who were named the banner lord by him at that time to discuss the state affairs of the Houjin Kingdom.

However, after the death of the old slave Nuer Hachi, in order to consolidate his throne, Huang Taiji did not engage in any eight kings and sit on the throne, but united with the other three major Belles, namely Daishan, Amin, and Mang Gurtai, and excluded the three Azig brothers from the Houjin decision-making circle on the grounds that Azig was unfilial and Dolgon and Duoduo were minors.

Now that the world has changed, Azig is dead, the red flag has been returned to Yuetuo, and the strength of the two white flags is much worse than when the old slave was alive, in Huang Taiji's view, in order to clean up Amin with an absolute advantage, it may be time to temporarily restore the form of the Eight Kings' deliberations.

Huang Taiji thinks so and does so.

When Amin led the Blue Flag Army, which had suffered defeat but did not suffer much loss in strength, and finally returned to Shenyang after trekking through mountains and rivers, his original fate in history suddenly came two years in advance.

Historically, at the end of October of the second year of Chongzhen, and at the end of October of the third year of the Later Jin Tiancong, Amin led the army with blue flags, followed by the main force of the two yellow flags of Huang Taiji, and broke through the border from Xifengkou, Daankou, and Hongshankou of the Great Wall of Jizhen, and quickly captured the surrounding prefectures and counties of Gyeonggi.

Three months later, that is, in February 1630, because the army of King Qin of the Ming provinces gathered in Gyeonggi, Huangtai Jijiu attacked Beijing, and saw that the situation was not right, so he burned and plundered the land in the west of Beijing, and then led the army of the two Yellow Banners out of Hongshankou and returned to Shenyang.

However, when Huang Taiji withdrew his army, he asked Amin to lead the army with the blue flag and stay in Zhufu County east of the Ming Jingshi, that is, Zunhua and Yongping Fu east of Tongzhou and west of Shanhaiguan, and at the same time cut off the army of Huang Taiji.

But with the blue flag army left behind Erbeile Amin, on the one hand was very dissatisfied with Huang Taiji's arrangement, on the other hand, it was indeed not the opponent of the Ming Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of Qinwang's division, when Sun Chengzong led the Ming Dynasty Qinwang's army to start a counterattack, Amin immediately abandoned the Jidong defense arranged by Huang Taiji to him, and also escaped from the gap in the Great Wall of Jizhen, detoured to Eastern Mongolia, and ran all the way back to Shenyang.

Before leaving, Amin also burned Zunhua and Yongping to the emptiness, and almost slaughtered Yongping Fucheng, which Huang Taiji personally persuaded him to surrender and promised not to kill anyone.

Huang Taiji had always wanted to clean up Amin, who had always been unruly and disobedient to him, so when Amin lost the capital of Jidong Prefecture and fled back to Shenyang without authorization, Huang Taiji took advantage of this reason to announce that Amin had committed 16 major crimes and took Amin down in one fell swoop.

Huang Taiji first handed over the blue flag that Amin had always received to Jilharang, who had always supported him, and stabilized the morale of the army with the blue flag, and then imprisoned Amin until Amin died of illness.

And Zilharang is Amin's younger brother, when the old slave Son Hachi executed his father Shulhaqi, Amin's older brother was killed at the same time, and Amin's youngest son was saved from death.

However, at that time, Amin was about ten years old, and he could already remember the revenge of killing his father and brother, but at that time, Zilharang was even younger, and he may not have left any impression of the tragic death of his father and brother at all.

Therefore, under the co-optation of Huang Taiji, Zilharang is a little estranged from his own brother, and has always been a loyal supporter of Huang Taiji in the blue flag.

Therefore, after Amin was taken away by Huang Taiji and several other half-brothers, the blue flag naturally fell into the hands of Zilharang.

Historically, Amin's seclusion occurred in June of the third year of Chongzhen, that is, in June of 1630 AD.

However, in this life, due to the defeat of Amin's second expedition to the Dongjiang River, not only the loss of troops and the loss of generals, but also led to the tragic death of the twelve Bel Azig, so this incident was staged in advance.

Unbeknownst to him, Amin returned to Shenyang at noon in late September.

As soon as Amin arrived in Shenyang, he received the decree of the Khan of Huang Taiji, asking him to rush to the Khan's palace to meet him immediately, and clearly told him that the Great Khan Huang Taiji wanted to restore the eight-king political system set by Nuer Hachi before his death, and convene all banner masters and five major ministers to discuss the aftermath after the failure of the Eastern Crusade.

Yanguli, who came to convey the will of the Khan, also kindly reminded him that it was best to think about how to deal with Azig's funeral and the ownership of the red flag after Azig's death on the way.

In fact, on the way back to Shenyang, Amin had already concluded that Huang Taiji and these people would definitely not care about any brotherhood, and after Azig died, the red flag would definitely be taken away by Huang Taiji's design.

Therefore, after listening to the will of King Khan conveyed by Huang Taiji, although he was indignant that Huang Taiji was ugly, too insidious, vicious, and ruthless, he didn't think much about it elsewhere.

Amin was also a little uneasy about leading the army to defeat and returning, and also dying Azig, a banner lord like Baylor, but Azig's death was indeed an accident, and he also knew the rift between the Azig brothers and Huang Taiji, so he felt that Huang Taiji would do something to himself because of this.

Therefore, Amin, who was tired from running all the way, simply settled his bannermen outside the city, and soon followed Yanguli, who came to deliver the decree, and rode into Shenyang City, which had just left for more than a month, as if everything had not changed, accompanied by only 300 cronies and protectors with blue flags that he had never been accustomed to.
