"Doubtful?" Xiao Mu obviously didn't expect this answer given by Lin Ye, or this Lin Ye's answer was far beyond his cognition, Xiao Mu was very shocked and asked, "Why should they be suspicious?" ”

"Because none of the three of them were able to intercept Huang Taiji. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lin Yi replied, "Especially Yuan Chonghuan, he is the first to bear the brunt, not only did he not intercept the problem of Huang Taiji, but even the matter of Huang Taiji breaking through the barrier itself can also be counted on his head." ”

Obviously, Lin Ye's answer was very informative, Xiao Mu was a little difficult to digest for a while, he looked at Lin Ye with puzzled eyes, thinking that Lin Ye expressed his request that she could explain in detail.

Lin Yi naturally would not refuse to give Xiao Mu a detailed explanation, "First of all, Yuan Chonghuan is the governor of Jiliao, and before he took office, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty had high hopes for him, and it can be said that he was in charge of Liaodong, and he himself was also very confident in himself, and when he accepted the summons of you, the emperor, he boasted about the Haikou of Pingliao for five years. But in this context, not only did he fail to achieve Pingliao, but also let Huang Taiji, who had been defeated by Hou Shilu once and suffered a great loss in strength, bypass his defense line under his nose, detour through the Mongolian steppe, and break through from Zunhua. It is conceivable how big the gap between the original expectations of the Manchu civil and military forces and the reality at this moment is. ”

"As for Hou Shilu and Man Gui." Lin Yi continued, "The situation of the two of them is slightly better, after all, Huang Taiji did not enter the customs from under their noses, and the courtiers of the court suspected them at most because they were ineffective in the process of intercepting Huang Taiji. And in addition to what I just said, Huang Taiji also has problems in common with Hou Shilu and Man Gui. ”

"And then?" Xiao Mu continued to ask.

"No, think about it, if you didn't trust someone, would you let him live in your own home?" Lin Yi asked rhetorically, "Especially Yuan Chonghuan, he is undoubtedly the most distrustful of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and I can say with great certainty that among the current ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, there are definitely more than one or two people who suspect that Yuan Chonghuan and Huang Taiji have had an affair before!" ”

"What? Yuan Chonghuan fornicated with Huang Taiji? Lin Yi's words were undoubtedly more explosive than the words just now, making Xiao Mu, who had not yet recovered from the shock just now, fall into an incomparable shock again, "How is this possible?" What is the benefit of Yuan Chonghuan's fornication with Huang Taiji, and what kind of official can Huang Taiji make him comparable to the power position of the Ming Dynasty's Jiliao Governor? ”

"Don't get excited, I didn't say that Yuan Chonghuan really fornicated with Huang Taiji." Lin Yi hurriedly stopped Xiao Mu's shouting in shock, "The original words I said were that 'someone' would 'suspect' Yuan Chonghuan of fornicating with Huang Taiji, but some people would doubt it like this, and not everyone doubted it, and I didn't say that what they suspected was confirmed." ”

"I see." After listening to Lin Yi's patient explanation, Xiao Mu's heart finally calmed down again, "I'll just say that Yuan Chonghuan has no reason to fornicate with Huang Taiji at all." ”

"Yes, I think so too, but you and I think this way does not mean that all the ministers in the DPRK and China think this way." Lin Yi said, "There are more people and more ideas, and there are many ministers in the court, and almost all of them oppose Yuan Chonghuan and their army entering the city for repair, which means that they are suspicious of these three border army generals, if not they suspect them of fornicating with Huang Taiji, at least they suspect that they are not working hard when intercepting Huang Taiji." ”

"And there's one more thing you don't forget." Lin Yi continued to explain, "Do you remember a few days ago, when the news of Huang Taiji's knocking on the pass just came out, didn't some ministers think that Huang Taiji's new defeat was not long ago, and his strength was greatly damaged, and he would not threaten the capital, but just looted at the border pass? Now that the views of the ministers who held such views have been proven wrong, will they examine themselves and admit that they have made mistakes? ”

"Why shouldn't it? Their judgment was already problematic, and if I had heeded their advice and not actively strengthened the city's defenses, the current situation would have been much more dangerous. Xiao Mu replied as a matter of course.

"But when it comes to their own right and wrong, people are often not rational animals, how many people do you think their judgments will not look for other objective reasons when their judgments are proven wrong?"

"Hmm......" Xiao Mu frowned and replied very seriously, "I'm afraid most people will have to excuse themselves and find reasons......"

"And what is the reason they justify themselves, for themselves?" Lin asked gradually.

"What is it?" Xiao Mu asked, feeling as if he had touched the layer of window paper, and was about to get an answer.

"Isn't there a ready-made reason to use right now?" Lin Yi didn't wait for Xiao Mu to pierce this layer of window paper by himself, so he directly announced the correct answer to him, "In the eyes of these people, their previous judgment was wrong, naturally it was not their own level, but Yuan Chonghuan had an affair with Huang Taiji and reached some ulterior secret agreement with Houjin, or someone who was a little kinder would not think of Yuan Chonghuan so badly, but would feel that it was because of Yuan Chonghuan, Hou Shilu and Man Gui that their generals were ineffective." ”

"So, this is the reason why Yuan Chonghuan, Hou Shilu and Man Gui are now under suspicion?" Xiao Mu finally concluded, "Just because of these unsubstantiated speculations? ”

"Sometimes speculation out of thin air has such great power, especially when the situation is still unclear, the situation is confusing, and there is a lack of sufficient reliable information for their own judgment, any person will have some nervous conjectures, and their final actions will undoubtedly be affected by their conjectures." Lin Yi gave a rather philosophical answer.

"But taking 10,000 steps back, even if Yuan Chonghuan, Hou Shilu, and Mangui didn't work when they intercepted Huang Taiji, and even if Yuan Chonghuan really fornicated with Huang Taiji, what does this have to do with letting the officers and soldiers they lead into the city to repair? At least for the ordinary soldiers at the bottom, they must need plenty of rest and sleep, and hot food to ensure their combat effectiveness, right? Otherwise, the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court is insufficient, so how can they fight against the wolf-like Houjin army? ”
