After Yin Ji left, Dolgon, Haoge, Yue Tuo and others who went out with the army at this moment all looked at Huang Taiji in puzzlement, although the surrender of North Korea seems reasonable, after all, the Qing army is brave and invincible, and all the soldiers and horses of the king of North Korea have been easily broken by the Qing army, and it is normal for North Korea not to dare to fight with the Qing Dynasty and want to surrender.

But if you think about it carefully, it is obviously too strange, at this time, the mountain city of Nanhan is all garrisoned by the Ming army, and it is very difficult for the Qing soldiers to break through the city in a short period of time, they really don't know why Huang Taiji will be so easy to Yin Ji, and he also promised to retreat fifty miles tomorrow.

However, of course, they didn't dare to question Huang Taiji's decision, but Yue Tuo couldn't help but ask out loud: "Why didn't the emperor leave that Yin Ji as a hostage and send another person into the city to deliver the message?" ”

"Because I know that this may be Zu Dashou's plan to delay the army, but I am willing to do it!" Huang Taiji laughed loudly.

Dolgon and the others were shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Why did the emperor say this?" ”

Huang Taiji shook his head and pointed to the mountain city of Nanhan and chuckled: "Zu Dashou is a fierce general of the Ming Dynasty, he has been fighting with my Qing Dynasty for decades, and he is very good at defending the city. ”

Huang Taiji nodded in agreement with both Yue Tuo and Dolgon, Zu Dashou's ability to defend the city is famous, unless he is consumed to the point of running out of food, otherwise the Qing army will not want to break through the city guarded by him. Sun Chengzong also valued Zu Dashou, so he specially sent him to guard North Korea.

"North Korea was originally a brother with my Qing Dynasty but often obeyed the orders of the Ming, and now it is even more treacherous, so I led my troops to attack North Korea to conquer the non-ministers, so that North Korea was attached to my Qing Dynasty and became a subsidiary of my Qing Dynasty, and now North Korea except for the mountain city of Nanhan, the rest of the cities have been broken by my Qing Dynasty, and North Korea will not be a vassal to my Qing Dynasty in the future, and will never dare to turn his back on my Qing Dynasty again, and openly surrender to the Ming Dynasty." Huang Taiji paused when he said this, and saw that everyone was suddenly enlightened.

He opened his mouth and explained: "The second is to stabilize the rear, so that the Ming army will not take advantage of the entry of our army to attack our Qing Dynasty and encircle Wei to save Zhao."

The Ming Dynasty is now constantly sending small groups of elites to harass our Qing Dynasty and slaughter our Qing people. If I don't personally defend Korea, I'm afraid that the Ming army will attack from all sides, and my Qing Dynasty will suffer even greater losses! ”

Dolgon patted his thigh hatefully: "The Ming Military Commission really deserves to be killed!" I dare to wantonly kill my Qing people, and after I return to the court, I must kill them all to comfort my Qing people! ”

The Ming army killed people in the Qing Dynasty, avoided large tribes when they saw them, and attacked directly when they met small tribes.

Dai Shan, who stayed in Shenyang, said that he had tried his best to exterminate the invading Ming army, but the Ming army was very cunning, and they were all dispatched by small teams, although Dai Shan killed a lot of Ming troops, but the Qing Dynasty itself had more dead and wounded, and the Qing Dynasty Manchurians were so hundreds of thousands, but they could not afford to lose.

"The Ming army has never done this before, and it was attacked by the Ming army without checking for a while, but Prince Heshuoli has gathered all tribes to raise troops together and divide troops to garrison various places, and the Ming army has no chance to take advantage of it now!" Although Yue Tuo said that he was not on good terms with his father, he still spoke out to say a few words of justice for Daishan.

Although Yue Tuo resented Dai Shan for abusing him and his younger brother Shuo Tuo, Dai Shan was also very dissatisfied with the two brothers in his heart, after all, the relationship between father and son was both prosperous and lossy.

At that time, because he couldn't bear Daishan's abuse, Shuotuo suddenly disappeared, and some people said that he "defected" to the Ming Dynasty. Before it was determined whether Shuotuo had defected, Dai Shan insisted that Shuotuo had the intention of defecting; After finding Shuto and making it clear that he had not defected, Daishan knelt down five or six times to ask Nurhachi to kill him.

Daishan's request was denied, and Nurhachi released Shuto. Nurhachi thus began to investigate the treatment of Daishan's two ex-wife's sons, and found that the assets of Daishan's sons, Yueto and Shuoto, were worse than those of his other half-brothers. was often beaten and scolded by Dai Shan, so Nurhachi angrily reprimanded Dai Shan and said, You are also the son of your ex-wife, why don't you want to think about me if I am not closer to you? Why have you been deceived by your stepwife and abused your grown son?

So Nurhachi asked Yue Tuo, Shuo Tuo and Dai Shan to split up, and publicly announced the abolition of Dai Shan's crown prince, and even killed Dai Shan's stepwife with his own hands to apologize, and asked him and his brothers to swear to heaven with their souls, if they hate all Baylor and ministers again in the future, they are willing to be punished by heaven and earth, and abandoned by people and gods!

After the death of Nurhachi, Dai Shan is obviously the strongest, the highest prestige, the oldest, and the only prince born to Nurhachi's first great fortune, he is the most likely to inherit his father's throne and ascend the throne as Khan, and the other Baylor will not and dare not rise up to oppose it, but support Huang Taiji, although it has nothing to do with Buddhism and the demon clan supporting Huang Taiji, but it also has a lot to do with this poisonous oath.

Huang Taiji waved his hand indifferently when he heard this: "The Ming army does not dare to fight with my Qing Dynasty again, but instead follows this path, doesn't this prove that the Ming army is afraid of my Qing Dynasty?" ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" Dolgon, Yueto, and others were amazed.

Huang Taiji laughed and waved his hand, and said: "I deliberately plan to show my heart to Zu Dashou, I deliberately sent my cronies to enter the city with Yin Ji, and then he will make it clear to Zu Dashou for me that I have seen through their strategy, but I look at the face of his Zu Dashou, and I am willing to retreat fifty miles to show my sincerity, if Zu Dashou is really willing to surrender to my Qing Dynasty, then ask him to lead the troops out of the city to sacrifice the city, I should be rewarded with the throne, if I don't want to, I will also strike for three days!" ”

"The emperor's move is very good, I suggest that this matter can also be announced to the public, so it is said that the emperor appreciates the birthday of the ancestors, so he deliberately retreated fifty miles and boycotted the army for three days. If Emperor Ming knew about it, he knew that it was a plan, but he was afraid that he would also have doubts about Zu Dashou! Yue Tuo's heart moved.

Huang Taiji pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head and vetoed: "It's not proper, Zu Dashou is not alone, now the entire Ming army in Liaodong is headed by Zu Dashou's ancestral family, I want to accept Zu Dashou's heart, if he does this, it will make him in a dilemma, and then he will be dissatisfied with me, I don't do it!" ”

Yueto, Dolgon, and others all bowed to him.

In the early morning of the second day, Huang Taiji really kept his promise, and early in the morning he led the Qing army to retreat fifty miles in one day. In the city of Nanhansan, Yin Ji, Li Liang and others, who had been anxiously waiting for a day, heard the news that they would not receive returns at night, and they were all overjoyed to learn that Huang Taiji had planned to withdraw from the army, and it was undoubtedly a blessing to be able to deceive Huang Taiji.

Among the crowd, only Zu Dashou sat alone on the chair, his eyelids lowered and silent.
