The ninth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the first year of Chongde of the Pseudo-Qing Dynasty, September 28.

The north of the Great Wall is further north, Shengjing City.

Since Huang Taiji became emperor, Shengjing's plan was built in accordance with the appearance of the Ming Kingdom's Jingshi. Huang Taiji's surname is actually very luxurious, and although he does not understand the grand architectural art of the Han people, this does not prevent him from yearning for those palaces.

At that time, he did not have the ambition of being the owner of the city wall, but he was so envious that he drooled and hoped to visit it one day.

But today, he has no interest in all luxuries.

In front of him, Azig, the king of Wuyingjun, Dorobel Abatai, and Elu Ahsan knelt on the ground, and next to him stood Dolgon and other brothers and courtiers with a contemptuous face. Huang Taiji did not hide his anger, and he did not give face to his brothers at all, even if some of the kneeling brothers were more than a round older than him.

"What about the 190,000 men and women you mentioned in the recital?"

Huang Taiji's voice was terrifyingly cold, making Azig involuntarily tremble, he quietly glanced up at Huang Taiji, and then took a heavy kick.

"You shit, idiot, say, say, where are the people!"

Although Abatai was also kneeling, there was a sneer on his face, but he kept his head down and did not let his sneer be seen.

Huang Taiji has always suppressed his brother who has made great achievements, but he has reused young people like Azig, and Abatai has long been jealous in his heart. This heavy setback, he should know who is really reliable and useful. Even if he can't get benefits and let the always arrogant Azig suffer, Abatai is extremely happy in his heart.

"Say, why don't you personally rear, why don't you put heavy troops in the rear, why is there a disconnect between the front and back that you can't return in time?"

Huang Taiji was really angry, this expedition was part of his grand strategy, and he also regarded it as a major event after becoming emperor. Originally, when he heard about the brilliant results, he was very happy, and even wanted to go south to greet him in person. But soon the news of the defeat at Lengkou Pass came, because of Azig's command error, Yanguli behind the palace was pursued by a group of Ming troops, and the whole army was wiped out, and the 150,000 captured prisoners were recaptured by the Ming, and Yanguli, a veteran general who had followed Nurhachi since childhood, also died in battle. This dispelled Huang Taiji's idea of welcoming him in person, and instead of him, how to deal with the aftermath.

Although Huang Taiji was proclaimed emperor, after all, Jianlu had just learned the Han people and had not yet been fully civilized, so he still retained many past customs, such as the Sibeile political system left by Nurhachi. Huang Taiji, with the support of the Great Belle Daishan, first let his fifth brother and third Bel Mang Gurtai "die of illness", and then imprisoned his second brother Bel Amin, so that he could monopolize power, but it does not mean that there is no opposition. This battle of Zhengming, which was originally called Di Liwei for him, turned into a big defeat that slapped him in the face, which made him really embarrassed.

At the same time, he also felt a little uneasy and lost in his heart, as if something that originally belonged to him suddenly felt like he was being separated.

"The slave is guilty, and the slave misses his brother."

Azig's "slave" made Huang Taiji's heart soften by half, and then "I miss my brother", which made Huang Taiji's high-raised board fall gently.

It's not that he has too deep feelings for this younger brother, but because Azig is something he has single-handedly brought out in order to deal with the high-ranking brothers above. If the punishment is too much, and those brothers use this to force him to restore the four-beylor parliamentary system, what is the meaning of him as an emperor?

"You should go back and give a cold pass!" Huang Taiji snorted.

If he had personally led the army, he would have immediately waved his army south after learning that the rear army had been intercepted, and even if he could not rescue Yanguli, he would have to break the cold to vent his anger. But after Azig saw the hanging bodies of Yanguli and others, he retreated in embarrassment, which made Huang Taiji the most dissatisfied.

Just when he was about to reprimand, he suddenly heard a stirring outside, and then someone reported: "Tan Tai is back!" ”

"What?"

Huang Taiji, Azig and the others all changed their faces.

After Tan Tai and Yanguli Palace, now the news that Yanguli father and son have died has been confirmed, in the eyes of everyone, Tan Tai is either dead or captured, and he should not come back, but now he is back!

Azig is even more worried in his heart, this will Yanguli die, he has to bear the greatest responsibility, originally there was an Abatai, he will definitely be punished, and now there is Tan Tai, the bitter master!

"Let him in!" Huang Tai Ji Road.

Everyone wanted to know how Yanguli had been defeated, so they all looked towards the door of the main hall.

After a while, they saw Tan Tai walk in, and although everyone knew that it was Tan Tai who came in, no one recognized him.

Not only is he limping when he walks, but he is also skinny, and his whole face is deformed. Tan Tai's appearance looks like he has suffered a lot of crimes.

The robes on his body were also tattered, and he couldn't even cover his body in many places. As soon as he saw Huang Taiji, he cried bitterly and knelt down: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the minion, the slave brother has a last word to entrust the slave to play Your Majesty!" ”

"Hurry up, hurry up...... Get him some water! Huang Taiji said.

After pouring in a large bowl of water, Tan Tai finally regained his strength and began to tell from the beginning. Although the battle of Lengkou Pass has also been reported in detail, where is the person concerned personally said it clearly.

Tan Tai started from the sneak attack on the artillery camp by the teaching regiment, and continued until Yanguli made him break through and come back, and passed on his last words to Huang Taiji. There are two main points: first, his death is not the responsibility of Azig; Second, it will have to be removed as soon as possible.

"I see, I see!"

Huang Taiji sat back on the throne and turned his gaze to Azig.

Yanguli was loyal, and although he died because of Azig's nonsense, he did not blame him in the slightest, for nothing more than the unity of the upper echelons of the Manchurians.

He almost took the blame himself!

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji closed his eyes slightly, and sure enough, he was a veteran who had followed his father for a long time, and he did treat him a little badly.

"Spread the holy decree: posthumously present the super-rank prince Yang Guliwu, attack the super-rank prince with Zita, and promote him to the post of minister of the interior. Send an envoy to the Ming people to ask for the corpses of Yanguli and Ahadan to be buried in Shengjing...... Worthy of the temple! ”

This is a posthumous mourning, although there is some transgression, but no one in the crowd has an opinion. For Jianyu, Yanguli is a great hero, and his last words also gave Huang Taiji a step to go down, and Azig, who led to this defeat, will definitely be grateful to him and take care of his afterlife.

"Your Majesty, you must kill that Yu Guozhen and avenge King Wuxun!" Just when everyone was silent, someone suddenly raised their voice.

It was Dorgon who came out to speak.

Dolgon, who was named Prince Heshuorui, was only twenty-five years old at this time, and Duoduo, the Prince of Heshuoyu, who nodded his head beside him, was only twenty-three years old, and both of them had a heroic face.

"Nature...... It is to avenge King Wuxun. Huang Taiji glanced at the two of them dissatisfied.

Obviously, the two young brothers can't wait to take this opportunity to share the power of Azig. But it's okay that the brothers fought among themselves, which was originally provoked by Huang Taiji, and only in this way would they not unite to attack him, the emperor.

"This expedition, the loss of the army, Azig will not escape the blame, for the sake of Yanguli's intercession for you, a fine of two hundred, four horses, and hand over a bull." Huang Taiji said: "Although the soldiers are lost, but now the Ming Kingdom is known to be virtual and real, Fan Wencheng!" ”

"The minister is here!"

In the midst of Hanchen, a middle-aged man of about forty years old walked out and bowed respectfully and knelt down.

"You are a scholar, draft a sacrificial text for me, and in addition, prepare a memorial text, wait for December, and prepare to attack the Xian Kingdom."

The so-called Xian country refers to North Korea, although the Ming Dynasty did not compete for full success, but Huang Taiji saw through the reality of the Ming Kingdom. The Ming Kingdom was a mess inside, and there was no time to take care of North Korea in the east, and North Korea seemed to be deferential to the Puppet Qing, but in fact, it was still relatively speaking, and their hearts were still towards the Ming Kingdom, especially their support for Phi Dao, so that the Puppet Qing could not concentrate their forces south.

Now that the Mongol tribes have been pacified, as long as Korea is completely resolved, the puppet Qing will be able to concentrate on dealing with the Ming State.

Huang Taiji's other idea was to make up for the losses in the Ming Dynasty and make up for them in North Korea. Compared with the strength and combat effectiveness, although the Ming army was already very unbearable at this time, after all, it was still stronger than North Korea, which sent people to Beijing to cry and cry for help as soon as it was beaten.

Huang Taiji was planning to deal with North Korea, and North Korea did not rest, because Huang Taiji had already made it clear that he would conquer North Korea when he became emperor, so there was also a panic among the Korean government and the opposition.

At this moment, in the port of Incheon outside Hanyang, North Korea, Yin Ji, the head of Xianguo Hongwenguan, kept waving his hand to the figure in the distance, with tears in his eyes.

"The Heavenly Empire, the small country of Haidong, my North Korea has been saved, my North Korea has been saved!"

He muttered to himself while waving goodbye, which was heard in the ears of one person next to him, but the person frowned: "It is wishful thinking to manage this, not to mention that the person who came is just a brocade guard, even if it is an envoy of the Heavenly Empire, it may not be useful......

"If it is placed in the past, it may not be useful, but now it is different, haven't you heard, the Celestial Empire has just defeated the Crazy Hu, killing tens of thousands of its super-grade Gongyang Guli and others, how many people are there in total?" Yin Jishi said: "God bless, the Celestial Empire has a character like Nanhai Bo, and it will definitely be able to exterminate the crazy Hu, Kuang Pingyu, Haiyan Heqing, and there will be no more war accidents."

"So what, they asked us to borrow Jeju...... Ming Guo has borrowed Phi Dao, and now he is borrowing Jeju, so he has to borrow Ganghwa? ”

"Jeju Muyuan is not my Korean territory, when the former Yuan Dynasty, it was the governor of Tamna, and it was directly under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Empire, and now the former Yuan has been dead for hundreds of years, and it is also a matter of time to return it to the old owner, not to mention that the Celestial Empire also pays 10,000 yuan of silver every year...... I don't know if there are 10,000 taels of taxes that Jeju Mumu can pay every year! Yiji looked at his colleagues: "Wu Xiu, a small country is a big affair, you must not be respectful, you and I are the same, we are all focused on the Heavenly Empire, and we want to break with the court's annihilators, this is above the big right and wrong, but you can't make mistakes." ”

"Yes, yes." That Wu Xiu was a little listless.

They watched the group of "envoys" sent by the Ming Kingdom Jinyi Guards board the extremely beautiful ship, and couldn't help but sigh long: "No matter what, the Heavenly Empire treats me like a ...... in the sea."

Jiang An, who was standing on the "Lianbo," saw that the North Korean officials who were sending off them still did not look back, so he waved to them and then bowed his hand. The North Korean officials returned the salute one after another, turned around the shore, and said to the sailors on the ship with high spirits: "Are all the people together, if they are all together, let's lift the anchor and raise the sails!" ”
