Abatai sat at the end of the left compartment, and he didn't expect Huang Taiji to call him, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and Babutai on the side hurriedly stabbed him twice, and he came back to his senses, and hurriedly stood up and responded: "Yes, Great Khan!" ”

"Old Seven, I'll leave the fascinating thing to you this time!" Huang Taiji is very refreshing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Abatai was stunned, he didn't expect why Huang Taiji would order his own general, after all, although he was old, he only had a dozen Niu Lu on hand, and the title was just a Baylor, and he didn't enter the power core of Houjin at all on weekdays, if he followed the past practice, he was only a deputy general at best, and he would never have the opportunity to be alone. Just when his mind was in chaos, he heard Huang Taiji continue: "Since I want you to do things, I have to give you power." The position of the owner of the Blue Flag is still vacant, so it will be up to you to take your place temporarily, if you can return triumphantly this time, you will be temporarily replaced, and you will be promoted to be Heshuo Baylor! ”

Huang Taiji's words were like a scoop of cold water poured into a pot of boiling oil, and the palace was in an uproar. The banner owner of the blue flag was originally Mang Gurtai, shortly after the death of Mang Gurtai, his plot to rebel was revealed, Huang Taiji handed over the blue flag to his son Hao Ge to lead, before the year before and after the Jin Xi expedition when Hao Ge disappeared, life and death are unknown, the position of the flag owner of the blue flag was vacant, and Huang Taiji has not appointed the flag owner. All the relatives and nobles speculated about who this piece of fat would fall on, but they didn't expect that it would be Abatai who took advantage of this, and they couldn't help but be envious and jealous.

"What's the matter, Lao Qi, you don't want to take over the Blue Banner?" Huang Taiji saw Abatai standing there blankly, so he asked with a smile.

"No, no!" Abatai came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "I just didn't expect it at all!" ”

"What's so unexpected!" Huang Taiji smiled: "Lao Qi, you are also the son of Father Khan, and your military exploits and qualifications have long been enough, but you were not stable enough to do things before, so I want you to sharpen it first, and you did a good job last time you went to save the left-wing departments!" You have to be careful about the fascinating things this time, and don't have any more setbacks! ”

"Yes, Great Khan!" Abatai was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed to Huang Taiji: "I must be careful." ”

Huang Taiji said a few more things, and then ordered everyone to disperse. Babutai saw that his half-brother had been promoted, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and was about to step forward to congratulate him, when he suddenly felt that his sleeve was being pulled, and when he looked back, it was Fan Wencheng, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Fan Zhangjing, is there something wrong?" ”

"The Great Khan has something to find you, please come with me!"

Babutai nodded, and followed Fan Wencheng down the corridor, through a row of side rooms, to Huang Taiji's study. Fan Wencheng stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door twice, and said in a low voice: "Khan! ”

"Come in!" The voice of Huang Taiji came from inside the house. Fan Wencheng pushed open the door, first respectfully invited Babutai to enter the door, and then carefully closed the door, and stood by the door to wait. Babutai's gaze swept across the room and found that in addition to Fan Wencheng at the door, there were only Huang Taiji and himself, and his face couldn't help but show hesitation.

"Lao Jiu, they are all their own brothers, don't be polite, sit down and talk!" Huang Taiji pointed to the chair in front of him, poured a cup of tea for the other party with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Hey, since I became this Great Khan, I have been separated from my brothers, and it is not as happy as when my father Khan was here, everyone often drank and hunted together!" ”

Babutai looked at Huang Taiji suspiciously, he knew too well the methods of his brother, even in Nurhachi, there was a world of difference between the children born to the side concubines like himself and Abatai and the children born to the main concubines like Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji suddenly treated himself like this, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"Sit down!" Huang Taiji saw that Babutai was still standing aside, and said with a smile: "Lao Jiu, do you have to ask you to sit with Brother Starling?" ”

"Don't dare!" Seeing that Huang Taiji had said everything to this, Babutai had to sit down carefully: "Since this is the case, then your subordinates can only pass." ”

"Hey, didn't I say it, don't be polite to your own brother!" Huang Taiji sighed: "There is no way in the palace, you can only talk about the distinction between monarchs and ministers, now in private, you and I are brothers, and you will be divided like this." ”

"Yes, yes!" Babutai answered twice, he knew that Huang Taiji had called him over, and there must be something important, but he was careful not to say the wrong thing. Sure enough, after the two of them talked for a while, Huang Taiji suddenly sighed and said: "I also know that after I became the position of the Great Khan, many people spread my words behind my back, saying that for the sake of this inheritance, I regarded my brother as an enemy and assassinated him. ”

When Babutai heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to answer: if he said no, it would be tantamount to saying that Huang Taiji was talking nonsense; If he said yes, it would be tantamount to admitting that someone was saying bad things about Huang Taiji behind his back, and if Huang Taiji asked him who he was, he didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, Huang Taiji didn't pay attention to him, and went straight to say: "They don't know my difficulties, although we have won consecutive battles against the Ming Kingdom over the years and laid a huge foundation. But Ming Dingkou is dozens of times my gold, we win a hundred battles, he is still Ming, but as long as we lose one battle, then we will destroy the country and the species. ”

"That's what the Great Khan said!" Babutai hurriedly responded: "Although Babutai is stupid, he also knows the truth that there are eggs under the nest. There are many ignorant people in the world, but there are few people who are sensible, the Great Khan only needs to do it wholeheartedly, and after a long time, everyone will naturally understand your hard work, and you don't need to care about those! ”

"Well said!" Huang Taiji smiled: "After listening to your words, this depression in my heart has also gone a lot, it seems that I should have gone out with Lao Jiu more often!" ”

When Babutai heard Huang Taiji say this, he said cautiously: "The Great Khan is busy with political affairs during this time, so naturally he can't spare time, and when he is free for a while, it's not too late to come out to hunt and release falcons!" ”

Hearing Babutai say this, Huang Taiji suddenly sighed and stopped talking, and Babutai asked when he saw this: "Why is the Great Khan like this, isn't there something unpleasant?" ”

Huang Taiji nodded: "It's the thing that begs for the charming!" ”

"Beggars are fans of rebellion?" Babutai was stunned when he heard this: "Didn't you send the seventh brother to lead the army to conscript, Great Khan?" With the ability of the seventh brother, he will definitely be able to calm down charmingly. ”

"No, I'm not worried about that!" Huang Taiji shook his head and said: "When these two countries fight each other, it is like playing chess, even if there are fewer chess pieces, as long as you take the lead, you will have the upper hand." This time, the beggar fan had an incident, so I had to send troops to deal with it, and it was the Ming Kingdom that took the lead and gained the upper hand. It's naturally bad if Lao Qi's side loses, even if he wins, he loses. ”

Babutai has also fought, and after listening to Huang Taiji's explanation, he understood. This time, the beggar rebelled and captured Ningguta, even if Abatai pacified it, it was necessary to leave a considerable number of troops to garrison it to prevent the Ming army from repeating its old tricks to attack Houjin's "soft belly". It's like two people fighting, A takes advantage of B's inattention, and asks someone to punch B in the back of the head from behind, even if no one comes to help A fight B from behind, B will be distracted and watch out for the back, and will undoubtedly suffer a lot. When Babutai heard this, he couldn't help but be anxious: "Then, how should it be?" ”

"There are two ways!" Huang Taiji replied: "First, as long as Liaoxi or Liu Chengzhong is defeated head-on, these beggars will naturally be self-defeating. ”

"And what about the second option?" Babutai asked.

Huang Taiji smiled slightly, but did not speak, at this time Babutai heard the sound behind him, and when he looked back, it was Fan Wencheng who pushed the door and went out, leaving only him and Huang Taiji in the room, obviously the next thing to say was extremely confidential, even cronies like him could not be heard. Thinking of this, Babutai couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"The second way is to form an alliance with Liu Cheng and share the world with him equally!"

"Huh?" Babutai couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this, and immediately reacted: "Great Khan, don't you want to make a counter-plot? Trick the emperor of the Ming Kingdom into killing this Liu Cheng? ”

"If you can separate the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom and Liu Cheng, it will naturally be the best!" Huang Taiji smiled: "But if you can really form an alliance with it, send troops to destroy the Ming Kingdom, and divide the world equally, it will not be bad!" ”

Babutai carefully examined Huang Taiji's expression, and finally confirmed that the other party was not joking, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "Huang Taiji naturally won't tell these secrets to himself, shouldn't it be—" He just thought of this, but was interrupted by Huang Taiji.

"Lao Jiu, it has been nineteen years since my father Khan swore to rebel against the Ming Dynasty with the 'Seven Hatreds'. In the past 19 years, our brothers and sons have not known how much hard work they have suffered, and now they finally have a small situation. Although the Ming Kingdom is vast and has many people, the Lord is not his own, and the people have the pain of hanging upside down, and there is no sympathy, and the upper and lower are separated, which is a golden opportunity. Liu Chenglai was born in heaven, and he relied on his own strength to seek peace with Kou Mongolia and make my Dajin an enemy. If he is on the side of my Dajin, then the Ming Kingdom will perish, and he can list the territory and seal the territory, call him a lonely widow, and eat blood for a hundred generations; My Dajin can also enter the Central Plains and become the foundation of the world. Speaking of this, Huang Taiji paused slightly, stared at Babutai's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Lao Jiu, do you understand what I mean?" ”

At this time, how could Babutai still not understand Huang Taiji's intentions, he pretended to be hesitant: "Didn't the Great Khan ask me to go to Liu Cheng to report the Great Khan's kindness?" ”

"Not bad!" Huang Taiji slapped Babutai's shoulder and said with a smile: "Lao Jiu, you are really smart, I mean that." I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, Liu Cheng is my great enemy of Dajin, if I send an ordinary envoy over, I am afraid that he will not believe in our sincerity. But if you send someone else, either you can't get out, or you can't act steadily enough, I think about it, or only Lao Jiu is the best! ”

Babutai naturally didn't believe Huang Taiji's nonsense, he knew in his heart that these nephews left by Nurhachi had their own factions, such as the matter of winning over Liu Cheng to form an alliance, if it became a great merit, it might also become an opportunity to contact foreign aid. If it is successful, contacting that person at the beginning is likely to become a threat to Huang Taiji's descendants to inherit the throne, and his mother is from a humble background, and he has no military merits, even if he succeeds, he will not be able to pose a threat to Huang Taiji's heirs; If you fail, you can also be punished with confidence. Huang Taiji treated his half-brother Abatai in the palace presumably just to show favor to himself, but since Huang Taiji had already said so much to himself, it was impossible for him to say anything. He thought for a moment and replied: "Great Khan, I, Babutai, am a descendant of Aixin Jueluo, and this matter is naturally unshirkable, but since we want to form an alliance, there must be some conditions, and I ask the Great Khan to show it!" ”

Huang Taiji couldn't help but be secretly happy when he saw Babutai so happy, and hurriedly smiled: "Okay, I know that Lao Jiu will not refuse." If you talk about the conditions, then Liu Cheng called himself Jinong, supported the second son of Lin Dan Khan to be the Great Khan, and married Beji of the Jungger Department as his wife. The land of Mo Nan and Mo Xi is naturally his. In my hands, I still have the remnants of the left wing of the Mongols, about four or five thousand tents, which can also be given to him, so that he can unify the land of Monan, but the Horqin tribe is our in-law and cannot give it to him. And the land of the Ming Kingdom can be bounded by Taihang Mountain, the west belongs to him, and the east belongs to my Dajin, and the two countries each take their own land. As a sign of sincerity, I can also marry my daughter to his two sons, and they will be married to each other. ”

Babutai listened and remembered that this condition of Huang Taiji should be said to be very generous, and it is not enough to be in the south and west of the desert, after all, either Liu Cheng has already eaten it, or it is just a blank check. The four or five thousand tents of the people are a real benefit. From the point of view of the boundaries of division, although the west of Taihang Mountain is far poorer than the east of Taihang Mountain, but from the perspective of strategic geography, the west of Taihang Mountain is condescending, and it looks at the Kanto region with a commanding position. In the end, Huang Taiji was willing to take out his two daughters to marry Liu Cheng's twin brothers, which was tantamount to sending two hostages over. And the number of soldiers that Huang Taiji has on hand is almost twice as many as Liu Cheng, and he is willing to offer this kind of condition, which can be said to be full of sincerity.

After thinking about it carefully, Babutai felt that his trip should not be dangerous, as long as Liu Cheng was not loyal to the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, he would not tie himself up with a rope and press him to Beijing. And with his understanding of the generals of the Ming Kingdom, people who can mix to this level will not be so simple. Maybe they don't want to rebel, but they won't go to the end, after all, as long as they open their eyes these days, they can see that the world is about to be in chaos, so why cut off their own back road.

"Lao Jiu!" Huang Taiji walked to Babutai's side and handed the other party a brocade box: "Here is your voucher seal and national letter." You have to be careful to put it away, don't let anyone know, in five days I will pretend to send you to Yiju, and you will go west after leaving Shengjing, understand? (To be continued.) )
