Huang Taiji had just sat down in the Dazheng Hall when he heard the message of Chasi Majin, he raised his head and looked at the eunuch kneeling in front of him: "Chasi Majin? Where is he now? ”

The eunuch didn't dare to raise his head, "Back to the Great Khan, Chasi Majin is waiting outside." ”

"Then you go and let him in." Huang Taiji is happy, it's really luck, Changsheng Heaven can't stop it, he just appeased Horqin, and married a woman as clear as jade by the way, and now Chasi Majin is back.

Chasi Majin came back so early, he must have brought back important information, and Huang Taiji faintly had an expectation that Chasi Majin would definitely bring good information, just like Jilharang.

"See the Great Khan!" After entering the main hall, Chasi Ma Jin prostrated on the ground.

"Chasi Majin, get up quickly!" Huang Taiji raised his hand and pointed to the side: "Sit down!" ”

"Xie Da Khan!" Chasi Ma Jin sat in the position designated by Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji smiled with a smile in his eyes: "Chasi Ma Jin, why did you come back so soon?" Is the mission accomplished? ”

"Great Khan," Cha Si Ma Jin had already thought of his words, but Huang Taiji's expectant question made him confused, and he reorganized his thoughts, "Great Khan, our spy has been killed." ”

"What? How dare the Ming court be so rude? Huang Taiji was furious, "Chasi Ma Jin, what the hell is going on?" ”

"Great Khan," Cha Si Ma Jin said to Huang Taiji about the two spies being arrested and then beheaded by Zhu Youzhen in front of him, and finally added: "Great Khan, Zhu Youzhen deceived people too much." ”

Huang Taiji listened to Cha Si Ma Jin's narration, but his heart calmed down, the two spies were arrested, and they couldn't complain about others, since they were spies, then they were not envoys, and it was normal to be beheaded, but the spies were beheaded, and his plan to spy on the new firearms of the Ming Dynasty was about to fail.

"How's the negotiation going?"

"Just as the Great Khan expected, we have not reached any agreement with the Great Ming," Chasima Jin changed his words: "The Great Khan, I heard a message in the Great Ming, I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"What's the message? Let's hear it. ”

Cha Si Ma Jin saw that Huang Taiji was not looking at him at all, and he didn't dare to say too much: "Sanbeile was defeated in Quang Ninh, and the cavalry suffered heavy losses. ”

"Mang Gurtai?" Huang Taiji frowned, "The military newspaper said that his soldiers had some casualties, but the losses of the Ming army were even greater-how could there be immortals in a war." ”

"Great Khan, I saw a battle report of the Ming army, but I can't be sure of the authenticity, the battle report says that the cavalry of Sanbeile is less than a Jiala, and has completely lost the ability to attack, and now can only nest in Xiping Fort."

"What? Less than a nalama? It's unlikely, right? Huang Taiji shook his head, "Chasi Ma Jin, you must have been deceived, Mang Gurtai's positive blue flag, the combat effectiveness is no less than any flag, how can you be killed or injured in this way?" It must have been a smokescreen released by the Ming army in order to get some unexpected benefits in the negotiations. ”

"Great Khan," Chasima Jin said, "I didn't believe it at first, but when I passed by Quang Ninh, I really didn't see the cavalry of Sanbeile, and the whole plain was full of Ming army ranger sentry posts, which was very consistent with the Ming army's battle report." ”

"How so? Could it be that the military report sent back by Mang Gurtai is fake? Huang Taiji still doesn't believe it, "He can be deceived for a while, can he still be deceived for a lifetime?" He's going to come back after all. ”

"Great Khan, when I was in Daming, I began to put forward some harsh conditions, although Daming did not agree, but only prevaricated, until the appearance of that military report, and then ......"

"And then?"

"Then, Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, met with me, and he not only completely rejected my conditions, but also put forward three conditions to us."

"What kind of conditions are three? Is it harsher than ours? "Huang Taiji was not ready to reach any agreement with Da Ming at that time, so the conditions he proposed were very harsh, and it is estimated that Da Ming would not accept them at all.

"First, let's immediately return to Hetuala......"

"What?" Before Cha Si Ma Jin finished speaking, Huang Taiji exclaimed, how could this be a condition for peace talks? It's simply not to give Dajin Guo a way to live, this Zhu Youzhen can really open such a mouth.

Huang Taiji thought, what capital does Zhu Youzhen have to return to Hetuala? Could it be that Zhu Youzhen is crazy? Or Mang Gurtai really lost in Quang Ninh.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji broke out in a cold sweat, thinking of the dream he had had, he was faintly worried.

Huang Taiji expects that Zhu Youzhen is crazy.

"What other conditions did Zhu Youzhen put forward? Ponder the horses and say them together. ”

Chasi Ma Jin also said Zhu Youzhen's other two conditions, and Huang Taiji was restless.

What conditions Daming put forward is actually not terrible, these conditions are constantly changing in the negotiations between the two sides, the question is, how can Zhu Youzhen have the confidence to raise these questions?

"How did you deal with it?"

"Great Khan, I flatly refused at that time."

Huang Taiji nodded, there is no doubt about refusal, who dares to agree to these conditions offered by Da Ming? Even if it is impossible to do it himself, not to mention that Chasi Majin is just a messenger.

"And then? Is the negotiation over? ”

"Great Khan, Emperor Ming said that he had the sincerity of peace talks, so he made such conditions, and I didn't agree, so he sent a messenger to us."

"What? The Ming sent a messenger to us? Where is he now? Did the Ming Emperor really have the sincerity of peace talks? ”

"The Great Khan, the envoy sent by the Ming Dynasty, named Huang Xiaofu, is the right attendant of their Ministry of Rites. has come to Shengjing with me. ”

"Is Zhu Youzhen really willing to negotiate peace? Or is it, like me, just under the guise of it? Huang Taiji asked himself, "If you are really willing to negotiate peace, why do you still put forward such harsh conditions?" Could it be that Mang Gurtai was really crippled like Yue Tuo? ”

Huang Taiji couldn't figure out Zhu Youzhen's mind for a while, so he decided to send someone to Quang Ninh to take a look first, and he had to know exactly what was going on in Mang Gurtai, and then he could decide on his next move.

"Chasi Majin, is there anything else you need to report?"

"Great Khan." Cha Si Ma Jin wanted to speak and stopped.

"Chasi Majin, what's wrong with you? If you have something to say, say it. Huang Taiji was annoyed in his heart, and he didn't bother to guess his thoughts.

"Great Khan, when I came back from the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty, I found that the Ming Dynasty had built a road called the 'Cement Avenue' from the Jingshi to Shanhaiguan, which was unusually flat and hard, and would not be muddy on rainy days, which was very suitable for pedestrians and vehicles."

"Cement avenue? Won't it be muddy on a rainy day? Huang Taiji really couldn't imagine what kind of road this was, "What kind of road is built with?" Is it a stone? ”

"No, Great Khan, they say that the material used to build the road is called cement, and they produce it themselves."

"Cement?" Huang Taiji searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, but there was no result, "What is the benefit of this kind of road?" ”

"Great Khan, this kind of road, no matter whether the weather is sunny, windy or rainy, you can transport supplies without interruption."

"No wonder Yue Tuo lost the battle, and Daming has solved the problem of material transportation." Huang Taiji suddenly realized, and he began to worry about Mang Gurtai.

Chasi Ma Jin's words made Huang Taiji even more shocked: "Great Khan, now this kind of road has been built from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan, and it is said that they will also build it to Jinzhou and Guangning." ”

"Chongzhen is to strengthen the control of Ningyuan, Jinzhou and Quang Ninh, once their food and material transportation can keep up, it will be difficult for us to retake Quang Ninh." Huang Taiji became more and more annoyed, if Mang Gurtai was really defeated in Quang Ninh, Quang Ninh would be difficult to recapture in a short time.

"Great Khan, what shall we do?" Chasi Ma Jin is the emperor Taiji, and he is also worried about the Dajin Kingdom.

"Chasi Majin, you go back first, I will see Chongzhen's envoy first, and then I will talk about it then."

"Yes, Great Khan." Chasi Ma Jin said goodbye to Huang Taiji and went out of the Great Palace.

Huang Taiji immediately selected spies from the Zhenghuang Banner and asked them to pretend to be porters and go to the front line of Quang Ninh to inquire about the situation of Mang Gurtai first.

He did not receive Chongzhen's envoy for the time being, and now that the situation in Quang Ninh was unknown, he asked Little Belle Dolgon to meet Huang Xiaofu on his behalf. Among the many brothers, Huang Taiji believed in Dorgon's wisdom the most, and he hoped that Dolgon could get more information from Huang Xiaofu's mouth, especially accurate information about Quang Ninh.

Coming out of the Dazheng Palace, Huang Taiji was still like Cha Si Ma Jin's words, although he went to Daming this time, although there was no substantial gain, but he heard a lot of information that Huang Taiji did not know.

For the first time, Huang Taiji felt that the Ming Dynasty was becoming more and more unfamiliar, and it was no longer the Ming who was ravaged by the Jurchens before.

Back to Qingning Palace from the Dazheng Palace, there is a section of Jinshui Bridge on the left, Huang Taiji deliberately detoured for a while, and he was used to taking a commemorative look on the Jinshui Bridge.

Jinshui Bridge is not paved with gold, Huang Taiji is not so extravagant, it is the bridge body paved with bluestone, the pier is made of perennial elm, there is a murmuring trickle under the bridge, the whole bridge is about fifty steps long, three steps wide, and the arch is one and a half steps high.

There are three such Jinshui bridges, and between the two bridges, there are six or seven steps apart.

Every time Huang Taiji passes by here, as long as time permits, he will wander two steps on the Jinshui Bridge, he not only likes the feeling of stepping on the boulder, but also likes the flowing water under the bridge, the endless trickle, symbolizing the endless life, but also symbolizing the Jurchen nation to multiply forever.

Huang Taiji is a little bored today, he especially hopes to go to Jinshui Bridge for a walk, maybe the never-ending flowing water under the bridge can give him some inspiration.

Huang Taiji went on the Jinshui Bridge in the middle, which is commonly known as the "Second Bridge".

He walked ten paces away, and there was a ninety-degree turn in the Jinshui Bridge, and when he turned it, there was a young woman sitting on the edge of the bridge, dressed in a bright red jacket.

"Huh! Who will this be? ”

Huang Taiji took a few steps and came behind her, "Bumu Butai? Why are you here? Didn't your sister go looking for you? ”

"Great Khan!" Bumu Butai's voice was so weak that he was seriously ill for three days.

Bumu Butai's skin is also very fair, if there is no Hai Lanzhu, she is the whitest woman in the harem, under the red jacket skirt, her face reveals faint red silk, especially the slender neck, as if she has a layer of red foundation.

"Bumu Butai, where's your sister?"

"Great Khan, my sister is already married and has children, why do you have to marry her?"

"Bumu Butai, what's wrong with you?" Huang Taiji frowned, he was annoyed in his heart, and he needed the comfort of the women.

"If the Great Khan doesn't like my aunt and me, there are still many women in the palace, and all the women in the Dajin Kingdom will be chosen by the Great Khan, why did he pick my sister alone?"

"Bumu Butai, what the hell do you want to say?" Huang Taiji originally wanted to marry Hai Lanzhu, but it was for the country, and he wanted to tie up Saisang and Horqin, but he was not in a good mood now, and he didn't want to explain to Bumu Butai at all.

"Great Khan, if you like me, let my sister go back, and if Great Khan likes my sister, then let me go back to Horqin." Bu Mu Butai didn't care about Huang Taiji's face at all.

"Bumu Butai, do you know what you're talking about?" Huang Taiji was annoyed, "Don't go back yet, it's embarrassing here!" ”

Bumu Butai's eyes turned red for a moment, and she looked up at Huang Taiji, "I understand." She turned abruptly and ran away with her hands in her eyes.
