Su Tiancheng's life is still relatively comfortable, at least he was promoted to a cabinet scholar, from now on, in the imperial court, there will be a lot less discussion about Su Tiancheng, at least those who will be much more cautious in the imperial history and affairs, their backer Tang Shiji was excluded from the cabinet and forced to give office because of age, presumably this is the emperor's idea, otherwise it is impossible for others to do it.

Huang Taiji, who is in Shenyang, has not had such a good time.

The pain on the body, Huang Taiji can bear it, it's a big deal to stick to it, the usual life idea is conditioned, and after a period of time, it can also be recovered, but Su Tiancheng's combination punch made Huang Taiji a little unbearable.

Dai Shan was captured alive, Huang Taiji was very painful, after all, it was his second brother, who suffered such a disaster, and the red flag in the Eight Banners was annihilated by Su Tiancheng's Jiangning Battalion, leaving a large number of family members, Huang Taiji could not care, this was enough of a headache, but at this time, the letter sent by Anning Fort hit the fragility of Huang Taiji's heart.

There are two letters in total, although Huang Taiji has not seen the letter, but the rumors have long been out of the river, these rumors are also from the direction of Anning Fort, it is said that the Ming Dynasty intends to exchange the good for Geng Zhongming and the monk Kexi.

This hand is too powerful, and after Huang Taiji heard the report, his body trembled a little.

After the letter was sent, Huang Taiji did not delay, immediately opened the letter, the rumor was finally confirmed, the letter from Anning Fort, one was written by Dai Shan, written in Manchu, Dai Shan in the letter, described in detail the courage of the Jiangning camp, said that the red flag for Lu what will fail, after the letter of the most Lu, Dai Shan put forward two suggestions, the first is possible. Try to make peace with the Ming Dynasty, even if it is a temporary compromise to avoid the upcoming bigger turmoil, the second is to try to find a way to plot against Su Tiancheng, no matter what means are used. Assassination, assassination, slander, framing, etc., are all okay, Su Tiancheng is a very terrible person, and he will definitely cause a huge disaster to the Qing Dynasty.

After reading Dai Shan's letter, Huang Taiji understood that Dai Shan must have seen Su Tiancheng, so he said such words, Dai Shan is a very arrogant person, and he will not admit defeat easily. Since such words were said in the letter, it really thought that Su Tiancheng was powerful, no matter what, Huang Taiji understood that Dai Shan was wholeheartedly for the Qing Dynasty, and there would be no dissent.

Open another letter and read it. Huang Taiji's face turned pale, and sweat droplets appeared on his forehead.

The rumors were confirmed. Da Ming really brought up the matter of exchange, the meaning is very clear, that is, to exchange the two of Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi with Dai Shan, he is really afraid of something, Huang Taiji has specifically asked Fan Wencheng to investigate the origin of these rumors, the purpose is to put an end to such rumors. If the Ming Dynasty really proposed such a quid pro quo, the blow to the Qing Dynasty would be very big, and Huang Taiji would not be able to make a decision at all.

In the first year of Chongde, three Ming Dynasty generals who took refuge in the Great Qing Dynasty were crowned kings. Kong Youde is the king of Gongshun, Geng Zhongming is the king of Huaishun, Shang Kexi is the king of Zhishun, the three of them were named kings, and they all have a Shun word, which means to obey the meaning of the Qing Dynasty.

Only six years have passed, the situation has changed a lot, the Ming Dynasty began to cheer up, especially the appearance of Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying, which made the situation completely reversed, Kong Youde has been executed by the Ming Dynasty Ling Chi, and was also captured by Su Tiancheng, and now Dai Shan was captured by Su Tiancheng, and actually put forward the exchange conditions.

Huang Taiji believes that this plan must have been proposed by Su Tiancheng, this is not only a simple insult, but also contains evil intentions, this is a dilemma that cannot be decided, whether it is agreed or not, the Qing Kingdom will be greatly damaged.

Agree to the conditions of the Ming Dynasty, all the Han people who defected to the Great Qing State will be silent, thinking about their future ending, and even the situation of large-scale defection of the Han army, think about the 30,000 Han troops stationed in Montenegro, Yizhou and Guangning, and the 10,000 Han troops stationed in Haizhou, these are basically Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde's men, not to mention the Han troops stationed in other places, if these people all defect, the Great Qing State will not be able to withstand such a blow.

If you don't agree to the conditions of the Ming Dynasty, how can the Manchu nobles be resigned, what is the identity of Dai Shan, don't say that Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi are two, even if they catch some Han people, they can be exchanged, Dai Shan is the son of the first emperor, one of the four major Baylors, and is the top Manchu nobles in the Qing Dynasty, in the eyes of the Manchu nobles, what are the Han people, they are originally slaves, and it is natural to exchange the life of the slave for the life of the master. Huang Taiji is not easy to refuse, he can't offend the vast majority of the Manchu nobles, after all, the maintenance of the Qing Dynasty still depends on these Manchu nobles.

Huang Taiji's eyes were filled with anger, he really didn't expect that Su Tiancheng would come up with such a plan, this is not a simple exchange, this is to destroy the foundation of the Great Qing Kingdom.

But Huang Taiji was helpless, Su Tiancheng won the victory, annihilated the Zhenghong Banner, and captured Dai Shan, so people can put forward such conditions, and they have the capital in their hands.

Huang Taiji, who felt that his body had basically recovered, couldn't help but feel dizzy for a while.

After forcibly stabilizing down, Huang Taiji knew that he had to deal with this matter immediately, otherwise it would really set off huge waves and aggravate the crisis of the Qing Kingdom.

Huang Taiji thought of Fan Wencheng, and still had to find Fan Wencheng to discuss, although Fan Wencheng was a Han Chinese, but he considered things carefully and could put forward the best opinions and suggestions, and he would not hold some extreme views because of the contradictions and differences between the Manchus and the Han people.

Fan Wencheng hurriedly came to the Chongzheng Palace, and saw that Huang Taiji's face was pale and frightened.

"The emperor must take care of the dragon's body."

Seeing Fan Wencheng's horror, Huang Taiji knew that his face must be ugly, but now he can't care about it so much, Huang Taiji picked up the letter from the Ming Dynasty and motioned to the guards around him to hand it to Fan Wencheng.

Fan Wencheng took the letter and looked at it at a glance, but it took a minute or two to read it.

"Wen Cheng, I summoned you to discuss with you, I didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would be able to come up with such a despicable plan, if it was to fight on the battlefield, I would accompany it, but with such a method, I looked down on it, and I couldn't wait to raise the troops of the Great Qing Kingdom to attack Su Tiancheng and Jiangning Ying."

Fan Wencheng is a lot calmer, as a Han man, he is familiar with such a strategy, attacking the heart, using such a strategy, it is normal, Huang Taiji is just angry, in fact, empathy, there is no big deal. There was such a thing in the Ming Dynasty, the battle of Tumubao, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Yingzong, was captured by Wara's first, and was once escorted to the city of Beijing, and also asked for an exchange first, in fact, he was thinking about breaking through the city of Beijing.

As early as when Huang Taiji asked Fan Wencheng to investigate the rumors, Fan Wencheng thought about it carefully, he thought that it was not unusual for such a thing to happen, the rumors would not be groundless, and no one dared to guarantee that in Shenyang City, there would be no Ming spies, once the Ming Dynasty had such a decision, it would definitely need to be hyped up, so that Huang Taiji could not make a decision.

Therefore, Fan Wencheng also thought about what countermeasures, but to think of a good countermeasure, it is really difficult, almost impossible, whether it is an exchange or no exchange, it is impossible to make a decision, judging from the current situation, the possibility of making an exchange decision is greater, but the decision to make an exchange is also more damaging.

There are not many Manchus in the Great Qing Dynasty, in fact, the main maintenance of the Great Qing Dynasty is still a lot of Han people, these Han people have a humble status, but they undertake many construction tasks, including sowing and arricultural, on the other hand, the Manchus will not cultivate the land at all, mainly relying on hunting to live, after the establishment of the Great Qing Dynasty, the status of the Manchus is not ordinary, relying on a lot of Han people to live, if the emperor Taiji makes a decision, completely hurt the hearts of the Han people, the Great Qing Kingdom has been troubled since then.

But Huang Taiji doesn't agree to it, it's not okay, the Manchu Eight Banners are the main combat strength of the Qing Dynasty, without the support of the Manchu Eight Banners, Huang Taiji is the same as the Qing Dynasty, Dai Shan's status in the Manchu Eight Banners is not ordinary, if Huang Taiji does not agree to exchange, someone makes a fuss in the Manchu Eight Banners, I'm afraid that the Daqing Kingdom will be in a mess in an instant.

Fan Wencheng had to reposition his understanding of Su Tiancheng, such an idea, those civil and military ministers in the Ming court would not put it forward, they would estimate the face of the Ming Dynasty, and they were unwilling to do these so-called indiscriminate things, but Su Tiancheng was different, as long as it was something that was beneficial to himself, he made a bold decision, looking at the battle commanded by Su Tiancheng in Xuanzhou, you can understand.

The best way to do this is to divert contradictions, but judging from the current situation, such contradictions cannot be transferred.

The most fatal point is that if Dai Shan returns to the Great Qing Kingdom, the Zheng Red Flag can be re-established, otherwise in a short period of time, the Zheng Red Flag of the Great Qing State will no longer exist.

Seeing Huang Taiji's expression, Fan Wencheng knew that Huang Taiji was also angry and worried about this matter.

Fan Wencheng was very cautious, he knew that the reason why Huang Taiji first found him was to have a clear opinion, if he discussed this matter with Zierharang and others, then there was no need to ask for any opinions, and the outcome would definitely be to agree to exchange.

The lesser of the two powers, Fan Wencheng already has an idea, and at this point, he can only take one step at a time. (To be continued......)
