Chapter 964: The Death of the Prairie (10)

Huang Taiji suffered a heavy blow again, his health was not very good, and the successive blows made Huang Taiji a little unbearable, and even many ministers of the court and the central government also found problems.

Huang Taiji, who was sitting in the Chongzheng Palace, was pale, and he could barely see his previous pride.

Fan Wencheng followed Haoge to the grassland to conquer, since Fan Wencheng left Shenyang, Huang Taiji was still a little inapplicable for a while, and there was a lack of people around him who could discuss big things, because Fan Wencheng had been engaged in intelligence work for a long time and could make accurate analysis, and in many cases, Huang Taiji could only analyze according to the intelligence himself.

The information provided by Tang Haitai accurately shows that Su Tiancheng will lead the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion to enter the grassland from the direction of Yizhou, and the first to attack is the Han tribe and the Khalkha tribe, Huang Taiji also according to the information provided by Tang Haitai, asked the Han tribe and the Khalkha tribe to be prepared, Huang Taiji especially emphasized that the artillery of the Ming army is very sharp, and asked the grassland tribe to pay great attention to it, when Fan Wencheng left Shenyang, the two discussed it, thinking that the Spring Festival was coming soon, Su Tiancheng may lead the Jiangning battalion to launch an attack after the Spring Festival.

The information obtained now is completely different from before, Su Tiancheng led the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion to enter the grassland from the direction of Datong, and the first to attack was the Chahar tribe, and in a short period of time, the army of the Chahar tribe was completely wiped out.

This is a huge blow to Huang Taiji.

The Chahar tribe is one of the most powerful tribes in the grassland, and it is also one of the grassland tribes that the Qing Dynasty relies on. On the surface, it made the Great Qing Kingdom lose a support. But the deep-seated impact is immeasurable. Such a powerful grassland tribe was easily wiped out by Su Tiancheng, what kind of thoughts would the rest of the grassland tribes have, and would they still submit to the Great Qing Kingdom with a happy heart.

Another method taken by Su Tiancheng made Huang Taiji anxious and cold, and Su Tiancheng's move was in stark contrast to Haoge's attack on the Xibe tribe and the Daur tribe station.

Su Tiancheng did not massacre the old and weak women and children of the Chahar tribe. did not even kill the surrendered sergeants, concentrated all these personnel, and let these people continue to live in the grassland, such actions show that Su Tiancheng's purpose is to exterminate the army of the grassland tribes, and the fundamental requirement is to make the grassland tribes surrender and pursue a complete psychological defeat of the grassland tribes.

Hauge did a different thing. It should be said that Hauge's decision to attack the Xibe tribe and the Daur tribe is very correct. It was able to achieve a major victory, and it was able to shake the confidence of the soldiers of both tribes, and they were unable to continue the expedition. But Hauge's later approach was really not flattering, and the stations of the two tribes were burned. And in the face of the sergeants of the Xibe tribe who had surrendered, they still went on a killing spree. This matter spread in the grassland. The impact of the formation was very bad, and even the leaders of the Horqin tribe wrote letters expressing criticism of this move.

Compared with the two, the minds of the grassland tribes have undergone subtle changes.

This is what Huang Taiji is most worried about.

Surrendering to the grassland tribes, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji have spent a lot of thought and adopted many methods to repay grievances with virtue, and finally made the grassland tribes support the Qing Dynasty, but this situation, in a short period of time, there may be fundamental changes, how can Huang Taiji not be in a hurry.

Fortunately, the Horqin tribe still resolutely supports the Qing Dynasty and Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji had no intention of evaluating Su Tiancheng, the information he got from Liaodong was obviously a problem, Su Tiancheng did not attack from the direction of Yizhou at all, and now to analyze, Su Tiancheng just took advantage of the importance of the Qing Kingdom to Yizhou, and launched a sudden attack on the Chahar tribe under bad weather, so to speak, Su Tiancheng made the greatest use of intelligence.

But Huang Taiji can't say that the intelligence is fake, at least Su Tiancheng launched an attack on the grassland tribe, this matter is true, that is to say, the information from Liaodong still has a certain degree of authenticity, maybe Su Tiancheng suddenly changed his decision, and he didn't have time to inform Liaodong, maybe Su Tiancheng found something and suddenly changed his decision.

Huang Taiji felt very tired, he had never been so tired.

The contest with Su Tiancheng actually began in the first year of Chongde, that is, when the Great Qing Kingdom was established, it began, so many years have passed, and the bureau that Su Tiancheng laid out at the beginning began to play a role slowly.

Huang Taiji, who was extremely tired, was not able to relax, he needed to think about it, he needed to make a decision, what was Su Tiancheng's next move, the situation in the grassland had undergone major changes, many tribes were worried, there were not many tribes whose strength could compete with the Chahar tribe, if any tribe became Su Tiancheng's next target, how to deal with it.

Huang Taiji did not consult with anyone else, not even with Dolgon and the others.

Because of the physical discomfort, Huang Taiji paid attention to it, Dolgon and Duoduo and others, the power is very strong, in addition to obeying their own dispatch, they don't care much about Haoge and Fan Wencheng and others, if they go one day, the next emperor, how to subdue Dolgon and Duoduo and others, will the Qing Dynasty be divided, if that happens, there is no need for Su Tiancheng to exert effort, the Qing Dynasty will be destroyed because of internal strife, and there will be no chance to turn over.

Huang Taiji has long begun to limit the power of Dolgon and Duoduo and others, and the punishment of Azig is for Dolgon and others to see, but it has little effect, and the contact between Dolgon and the Manchu nobles has not decreased.

Huang Taiji can feel relieved that Dai Shan really supports himself, from the heart of the support, after encountering a major setback, Dai Shan's thinking has undergone a major change, the arrogance of Dolgon, Duoduo and others, but also a little unaccustomed, in the past, Dai Shan's mansion, is a place where the Manchurian nobles often gather, now there is no such situation, Dai Shan said on many occasions, are required to maintain the overall situation of the Qing Dynasty.

There is also Zilharang, mature, steady and wise, wholeheartedly safeguarding the interests of the Qing Dynasty.

In terms of strength, Dorgon and Dorgon do not have any advantage.

Dolgon and Duoduo are the fierce generals of the Great Qing Kingdom, the abilities of the two are not ordinary, the Great Qing Kingdom cannot lack such a strong general, Huang Taiji even thinks that Dolgon's ability is not worse than his own, so more often, Huang Taiji still relies on Dolgon, and major battles are all for Dolgon to participate in or even directly command.

Fan Wencheng once said very vaguely that raising tigers is a problem, Huang Taiji understands the meaning, starting from the overall situation of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji does not want internal problems, he hopes to stabilize the foundation of the Great Qing Kingdom through his own efforts.

It's a pity that the rumors that appeared below, Huang Taiji could not forget, that is, after Huang Taiji Dragon returned to heaven, according to the will of the emperor, Dolgon should inherit the throne.

Huang Taiji was very angry, he had never heard of such a will, besides, it was the four major Baylors who jointly acted for the government, and he ascended to the throne through countless efforts, how could such a will appear, this can only show that Dolgon has such ambitions.

Huang Taiji would never let such a thing happen.

The turbulence of the situation in the grassland, the extermination of the Chahar tribe, in Huang Taiji's view, is the death of the grassland, and the direction in which the grassland will develop next needs to be paid close attention to, and practical methods need to be taken to prevent major changes in the grassland, and they must consider the next step.

The place where Su Tiancheng is stationed, on the map, is marked very clearly, there is still a long distance from the Horqin tribe, but Huang Taiji faintly feels that Su Tiancheng's next target must be the Horqin tribe, and he will command this battle by himself, and the key target is also the Horqin tribe.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji's face turned even whiter.

After thinking about it again and again, Huang Taiji felt that he had to make a decision.

Sony, whom he trusted the most, stood below, waiting.

"Sony, you quickly rushed to the Horqin tribe, I wrote a letter, you directly handed it over to the leader of the tribe, asking them to handle it according to my requirements, in addition, you find a way to find Haoge, ask Haoge to lead the army, and make peace with the Horqin tribe, the army led by Dai Shan, it is estimated that it has arrived at the Horqin tribe station, and when I saw Haoge, I said that I asked Fan Wencheng to return to Shenyang, there are important matters to discuss, in addition, Haoge captured some artillery, don't transport it all back, leave a part to the Horqin tribe, time is very tight, You have to complete the mission as fast as you can. ”

After Sony left, Huang Taiji felt even weaker, and it was difficult to stand up.

He tried to stabilize his emotions, didn't think about anything, didn't do anything, and did it quietly, at this moment, Hai Lanzhu's figure entered his mind, making him even more sad.

Not far away, a pair of eyes are paying attention to Huang Taiji, and the condition of Huang Taiji's body has become a matter of concern for some Manchu nobles, which involves the stability of the Great Qing Dynasty and the attribution of the throne, of course, some people pay attention to it.

After a long time, Huang Taiji slowly stood up, and with the support of the guards around him, he slowly walked towards the harem.

Next, within the Great Qing Dynasty, a struggle slowly kicked off. (To be continued......)
