Chapter 469: The Pain of the Great Qing Dynasty
Half a month has passed, and Huang Taiji still feels heartache, suffering such a big loss, in his opinion, it is not only the loss of the life of the sergeant, but also the greater worry comes from the strength of the Ming army.
The establishment of the Great Qing Dynasty and the ascension to the throne are not simple things for Huang Taiji, which also indicates that Huang Taiji has shown his determination, and his ultimate wish is to be able to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and unify the Central Plains. With such an idea, the internal harassment of the Ming Dynasty, the disasters, including the struggle between the ministers, are all good things, which can weaken the strength of the Ming Dynasty to the greatest extent and give the Qing Kingdom a chance, and over the years, seeing the Ming Dynasty slowly decay, especially the imperial court is difficult to feed the army, resulting in some Ming Dynasty soldiers, defecting to the Qing Dynasty.
The soldiers of the Great Qing Dynasty, several battles into the customs, are fully loaded, the maximum blow to the Ming Dynasty, to the Ming Dynasty heavy damage, even to the extent that the Ming soldiers dodge the Qing soldiers, just because the strength of the Qing Dynasty is not enough, can not fully invade the Ming Dynasty, overthrow the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty's Ningjin defense line, is also an unbreakable pass, Huang Taiji does not dare to do his best to take risks, if the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty all bypass the Ningjin defense line, deep into the pass, once encountered, Encountering the Ningjin defense line and the Ming army in Guannei, it is the danger of losing the country.
However, small-scale entry is still allowed, especially this time to enter the customs, Azig led 100,000 elite soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, the purpose is to celebrate the official founding of the Qing Dynasty, show determination, and give the Ming Dynasty the most severe warning.
But this is the most critical entry into the customs, Azig led 100,000 soldiers into the customs, and actually suffered such heavy losses.
It was a terrible blow, and Huang Taiji sensed the danger. The name of Jiang Ningying had been introduced into his mind.
The intelligence system was fully launched, and the news of the Jiangning battalion was investigated, and in a short period of time, Su Tiancheng's name appeared in the intelligence more than once. Su Tiancheng's actions made Huang Taiji feel frightened, and he knew that he had met a powerful opponent.
In just a few years, the Jiangning battalion jumped up, accompanied not only by the strength of the army, but also by the achievements of local construction. The Great Qing Kingdom is in danger.
The response is twofold.
The first is to sow discord, make the emperor of the Ming Dynasty suspect Su Tiancheng, deprive Su Tiancheng of his power, and then seize Su Tiancheng's life, which is the most appropriate way.
Judging from the current situation, if you want to use such a method, the possibility is too small, and the Qing Dynasty does not know Su Tiancheng. I don't know what Su Tiancheng has done on weekdays, and he can't send someone to sneak into Su Tiancheng's surroundings. Moreover, Su Tiancheng has established such a great military exploit, and the imperial court will not easily believe in foreign slander.
The second is to work hard to build the Qing Dynasty, and in the shortest possible time, strengthen its own strength, and the Ming Dynasty is like a tiger that has passed its peak. Although the strength is still very good, this tiger has slowly grown old, decayed, consumed more and more, and his physical strength and strength are not good. On the other hand, the Great Qing Kingdom, like a growing lion, although it is not yet able to dominate the forest, as long as you work hard, that day will always come.
Huang Taiji's consideration is a two-pronged approach.
On the one hand, it strengthened its own construction, and on the other hand, it prompted the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to suspect Su Tiancheng, alienate Su Tiancheng, and even kill Su Tiancheng.
has become the emperor, Huang Taiji still has some understanding of the emperor's mental arts, Su Tiancheng must be a capable person, such a capable person, easy to encounter suspicion, as long as there is an external force to promote, the emperor will definitely be suspicious, how can others snore next to the couch, who knows that some capable people in the Tao are strong, will they threaten the imperial power, Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, is a very good example.
Of course, to do such a thing, you can't rush it, you need to take it slowly.
Huang Taiji's subordinates have a large group of talents, but there are still not many Wenchen, and they are mainly Han people, so long time has passed, Huang Taiji has long understood that relying entirely on force to unify the world, that will not work, and in the end it will be defeated, and the world can be seized immediately, but it will not be able to govern the world immediately.
However, Huang Taiji's side is still dominated by Manchurians, counting and counting, and the powerful ministers are all his brothers, nephews, etc., including the most important seven people: Prince Li Daishan, Prince Zheng Zierharang, Prince Rui Dolgon, Prince Su Haoge, Wuying County King Azig, Yujun Wang Duoduo, Yingjun King Adali, these people are almost all military generals, among which Dolgon still has some strategies, can fight well, quite prominent, as for Azig, the mind is still much simpler.
The one who really became the emperor's Taiji think tank was the Han Fan Wencheng.
Although Fan Wencheng only has the identity of a student, his talent is no less than that of the Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty, and in the eyes of Huang Taiji, the champion of the palace test of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as Fan Wencheng.
However, Huang Taiji also has annoyance, Fan Wencheng is very loyal, every time he puts forward outstanding suggestions, he has made great contributions, but in the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus look down on the Han people from the bones, even if Fan Wencheng has made a lot of contributions, but in the face of many princes, county kings and Belle Bezi, he still has to be cautious and trembling, for fear that he will accidentally offend which imperial relatives and suffer a tragic fate.
In this regard, Huang Taiji doesn't have much to do, after all, it is mainly the Manchus who support him, and he is now only the emperor of the Manchus, not the emperor of the Han people.
When Fan Wencheng entered the hall, he was a little apprehensive in his heart.
He knew all about Azig's defeat, and he also made some analysis, and had some thoughts in his heart, but he still didn't dare to say some words, he was more Han Chinese, in the Qing Dynasty, his status was low, and if he was a little careless, he was caught by the Manchu nobles, and his life was very difficult.
Fan Wencheng received the education of Confucianism, knew the cruelty of political struggle, as a Han Chinese, took refuge in Houjin, was already regarded as a traitor, it is impossible to get the forgiveness of the Ming Dynasty, for today's plan, only to help Houjin, unify the world, it is possible to live a stable life, so he spared no effort to make suggestions, fight on the battlefield, and establish merits.
But there are worries as well.
The internal struggle of the Houjin is even more cruel, here is the emphasis on force, for the Confucian set of etiquette, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and faith, not very interested, even if Huang Taiji, has become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, still pay attention to deal with a lot of relationships, take care of many Manchus, Manchu bullying Han people, abound, Huang Taiji does not have too much energy to deal with, such a situation, it is very clear that he Fan Wencheng is still a slave of the Manchus in the end, and it is impossible to raise his head to be a master.
Huang Taiji trusts him very much, but who knows how long Huang Taiji can live, Dolgon, Haug and Azig and others, all of them are not fuel-efficient lamps, they are in the center of power, when they offended these people, and they don't know how to die.
"Wen Cheng, what do you think of Azig's fiasco this time, I am very worried about Jiang Ningying and Su Tiancheng, do you have any good way to deal with it."
Fan Wencheng stabilized his mind, and the question raised by Huang Taiji was as he expected.
"Your Majesty, the servants think that Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying are not enough to worry about."
"Oh, why do you think that?"
"The slave thinks that the Ming Dynasty has rotted from the roots, and only one Su Tiancheng, including the Jiangning battalion, is impossible to play the role of a mainstay, although this army conquered the Ming Dynasty and suffered unprecedented losses, but as long as I build the Qing Dynasty with peace of mind and strengthen my own strength, I will be able to destroy the Ming Dynasty in the near future."
Huang Taiji nodded.
"There is some truth in what you said, but this Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying, I still feel worried."
"Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying, very good, but the slave thinks that it is precisely because Su Tiancheng is good, so as long as the Ming Dynasty is a little stable, Su Tiancheng's life will not be easy, if the Ming Dynasty does not have many worries, the ministers in the court, happy to think about it, is to fight for power and profit, Su Tiancheng has such a great merit, he will naturally become the target of the public, the slave also heard that Su Tiancheng is very young, in the court, there is no foundation, and he does not even do things in the court, It has always been local, and in such a situation, his situation is even more dangerous. ”
A smile appeared on Huang Taiji's face, and Fan Wencheng was able to get to the point every time.
"The slave thinks that my Daqing can use a counter-plan, during this period of time, strengthen its own construction, and at the same time continue to spread unfavorable news to Su Tiancheng, the three of them become tigers, once Su Tiancheng encounters suspicion, or is convicted by the court, my opportunity to Daqing will come."
"Well, what you said is very good, you know the Ming court very well, most of my side are military generals, I see, you are directly responsible for this matter of dealing with Su Tiancheng, you need gold and silver treasures, you need manpower and material resources, just open your mouth, don't be in a hurry about this matter, take your time, I have time."
"The minions obey."
"I know that you are very hard and loyal, but some people in the court have some opinions about you, which makes you uneasy, but you don't have to think about these issues, I am your backstage, and I will definitely support you."
After Huang Taiji said this, Fan Wencheng hurriedly knelt down.
"The emperor knows the grace of the encounter, the slave has nothing to repay, only do his best, the slave must do his best, live up to the emperor's trust, and the slave does not ask for anything in return......"
"Okay, you can do things with peace of mind, I know what to expect."
When Fan Wencheng left the hall, his heart was happy, no matter what, with the full support of Huang Taiji, his position was temporarily consolidated, things are man-made, he always has to go all the way, and there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain.
It's a pity that this time, Fan Wencheng thought wrong, and he accepted an impossible task. (To be continued......)
