Chapter 908: Emperor Taiji's Oath (3)
Chongzheng Palace.
Dolgon, Duoduo, Hauge, Zilharang, Azig, Yebushu, Sony, Aobai, Tan Tai and other Manchurian nobles are all in the main hall, and Fan Wencheng, who is a Han Chinese, seems very different at the moment.
Everyone knows the conditions of the exchange of the Ming Dynasty, and the decision that needs to be made at this moment is whether it can be exchanged.
Huang Taiji is still very pleased, a difficult thing that seems to be impossible to deal with, under the operation of Fan Wencheng, it has become much easier, and it may also get unexpected results, and if you are a Manchurian, you may not think of such a way, that is, after getting Fan Wencheng's report, Huang Taiji made a decision to discuss this matter with many Manchu nobles.
Dai Shan's prestige among the Manchurian nobles is still good, which is mainly due to Dai Shan's non-struggle for power and profit, over the years, Dolgon and Duoduo brothers, the power has become stronger and stronger, faintly more than Dai Shan, Dai Shan looks at it, there is no special action, as the son of Nurhachi, the eldest of many royal families, Dai Shan's indifferent attitude to fame and fortune also reassures Huang Taiji, although Huang Taiji still wants to prevent Dai Shan's actions, but Dai Shan obeys the command, even if it is used as a flag, When Dolgon attacked Dengzhou and Laizhou, he also had no complaints, which was not easy.
Therefore, after Huang Taiji said the exchange conditions of the Ming Dynasty, many Manchu nobles and absolute unity of opinion all asked for exchange, and the action should be fast, and the envoy could be sent to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to negotiate specifically on the exchange of matters, and strive to let Dai Shan return to the Qing Dynasty as soon as possible.
No one doubted that Dai Shan would take refuge in Da Ming, in everyone's impression, it was impossible for Dai Shan to do such a thing, and Huang Taiji did not show everyone the handwritten letter written by Dai Shan. This handwritten letter is the true understanding of Dai Shan, and many Manchu nobles are incomprehensible.
Huang Taiji actually wanted to exchange Dai Shan back, after such a huge ordeal, it can be said that Dai Shan's understanding is different from the ordinary, if Dai Shan can come back. There will definitely be some good opinions and suggestions, for the strategy of the Ming Dynasty, although Fan Wencheng put forward a good idea, but among the people, there can be no such strategic talents, this is Huang Taiji's heart disease, and it is also a problem that Huang Taiji wants to solve.
The opinions of the people were all finished, there were no different opinions, and they all asked for an exchange.
Huang Taiji waited until everyone finished speaking. Finally spoke.
"I know that blood is thicker than water, you all want to exchange, but have you ever thought about what kind of fluctuations will be caused after the exchange, my Great Qing Kingdom wants to enter the Central Plains and want to overthrow the Ming Dynasty. Can we do it just because we are full of people? Could it be that with our small number of Manchurians, we can be invincible in the world, Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying's performance, you have all seen it, I don t want to say anything discouraged, I can conclude that. With Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying, we can defeat our Manchurians. ”
After Huang Taiji said these words, there was silence in the hall, and before the change, some people might not be convinced. Some people refute it, but the hard facts are in front of them, no one will continue to be confident, and unprincipled self-confidence is self-defeating.
"I also want to exchange, Dai Shan is my second brother, was captured by the Ming Dynasty, my heart is very uncomfortable, but I think more, the strength of my Qing Dynasty is inseparable from the contribution of the Han people, over the years, I have always emphasized that you must treat the Han people well, some of you don't care at all, think that the Han people are born to be Manchu slaves, the Qing Dynasty is so big, if you completely rely on our Manchu hunting, do not cultivate food, can it be maintained, in the past, the Manchu Eight Banners could enter the customs and loot, and they could gather wealth, Can you get it for nothing, is it okay now, since Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying entered Liaodong, in fact, the decisive battle between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty began, and now it is a critical moment. ”
When he said this, Huang Taiji stood up.
"If we can't face this decisive battle correctly, my Great Qing Kingdom will be in danger of perishing, at the critical moment, what do we need to do, do we need to remind you, all of us in the Great Qing Kingdom must unite to deal with the upcoming battles and fights, so that we can tide over the difficulties, and be able to face the danger calmly, Su Tiancheng's shrewdness is in this place, he knows that the unity of my Great Qing Kingdom is the biggest threat to him, so he uses such a strategy, Come to drive a wedge between the Manchus and the Han people in the Qing Dynasty, but what did you just say? ”
Huang Taiji's face is very ugly, his anger is aimed at most of the Manchurians, the courage on the battlefield is important, but the thinking of strategy is even more important, he can fight the world immediately, but he can't govern the world on horseback.
"All you think of is the exchange, but you don't mention the shock that may be formed after the exchange, have you ever thought that if this exchange is deliberately used by the Ming Dynasty, it will chill all the Han people in the Great Qing Kingdom, and it will make them turn their backs on my Great Qing Kingdom, if that happens, do we have to go back to the Black Mountain and the white water to hunt."
"You keep saying that the Han people are slaves and should contribute to our Great Qing Kingdom, and there is no need to consider this kind of exchange, but have you ever thought about it, all the Han people have turned their backs on my Great Qing Kingdom, Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying will take advantage of this opportunity to launch a general attack, when the time comes, with our full people, can we guarantee victory, not to mention, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, what does the army eat, if it loses its logistical support, do you still want to be able to win."
Huang Taiji's expression was a little gloomy.
When he was critically ill, these Manchu nobles began to think about the struggle for power, this is a thorn in Huang Taiji's heart, it is impossible to completely forget, because the future of the Great Qing Kingdom, because he is the emperor, such a thing can only be endured, but when there is a chance, it is still possible to vent the anger in his heart.
The hall was very quiet, and Huang Taiji waved his hand after saying this.
"You all retreat, I think about it, Wen Cheng stays."
Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi entered the Chongde Palace.
Needless to say, the bitterness in the hearts of the two is needless to say, at this time, even if there are any grievances, they must hold back in their hearts and dare not say it, otherwise not only themselves, but also their families will encounter disasters, when they were traitors, they should have such mental preparations, they originally thought that Kong Youde's life was very bitter, and he was executed by Ling Chi of the Ming Dynasty, but now it seems that their ending is the same, not much better.
The two knelt on the ground, and Huang Taiji walked down and personally helped them up.
"I am looking for you today to tell you that this exchange is a trick of the Ming Dynasty, and I will never fall for it, you are the mainstay of my Qing Dynasty, and I will not abandon you."
Fan Wencheng, who was standing on the side, signaled to Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi with his eyes, what to do next, the two of them understood and had to do it.
Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi knelt down again, and it was Geng Zhongming who spoke.
"The emperor's great kindness, the slave empathizes, the identity of the slave is impossible to be valued in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor named the slave as the king, the slave is content, the prince is the pillar of my Qing Dynasty, the slave can exchange the prince of Li, it is glory, the slave implores the emperor to decide, the slave is willing to exchange."
Shang Kexi also spoke.
"The slave is willing to exchange, and I beg the emperor for his permission."
Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng with his spare eyes, and secretly sighed in his heart, who said that the Han people were not united, who said that the Han people were cowardly, in the face of principles, they still knew that the Tao was grasped, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi were the two of them, I am afraid that they were the thorns in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, and at the critical moment, they also knew that the Tao made a wise decision, if all the Han people had such an understanding, how could the Qing Dynasty overthrow the Ming Dynasty.
"I know what you think, but I won't do that."
After Huang Taiji said this, Fan Wencheng also came over and knelt down.
"The slave implored the emperor to approve the request of King Huaishun and King Zhishun, the soldier is the confidant who dies, and the woman is the one who pleases herself, the two princes are favored by the emperor, at this critical moment, they are willing to exchange, this loyalty, the emperor must not refuse."
Huang Taiji still didn't say anything, and his posture still had to be sufficient.
Geng Zhongming spoke again.
"Your Majesty, the slave monk Kexi sincerely pleaded with the emperor for permission, the slave also has requirements, the family can be taken care of, the slave is satisfied, the slave monk Shang Kexi has already told his officers, the Ming Dynasty proposed to exchange the slave for the prince, in fact, it is also a battle, this battle, the slave needs to make contributions, if the slave retreats, it is a deserter."
Huang Taiji was stunned for a moment.
"Your thoughts, I know the way, I will seriously consider it, no matter what the choice, I swear here, the Han and the Manchu are the people of the Qing Dynasty, the Han people are not slaves, the Han people have made contributions to the Qing Dynasty, they will not be worse than the Manchus, you are right, this is a battle, I know that you are brave soldiers, you are the Baturu of my Great Qing Kingdom. You can rest assured, I will take care of the affairs of your family, and if anyone dares to be disrespectful to your family, I will never spare it. ”
Speaking of which, in fact, everything has been decided.
This has not been done yet, and then Fan Wencheng asked Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi to hype up among many Han officers, showing the grace of Huang Taiji, and the two volunteered to contribute to the Qing Dynasty, and voluntarily exchanged gifts for the prince to do good, and Huang Taiji was not allowed, they were all desperately requested by the two to achieve their goal.
Such a scene, performed here, is considered a successful ending, and the next step is to implement it. (To be continued......)
