Chapter 1: Killing Four Birds with One Stone

Shengjing Palace. That is, in Shengjing City, the center of the Later Jin regime.

The old Khan king Nurhachi died in the same year as the carpenter emperor, so the second year of Chongjing, here in the Later Jin regime, is also called the second year of Tiancong. The successor to the throne of Nurhachi Khan was his eighth son, Huang Taiji. In addition to this identity, Huang Taiji's other identity is the four major Baylors, but the youngest one. In front of him are Daishan, Amin, and Mang Gultai.

Although he inherited the Khan King, Huang Taiji did not dare to be too arrogant, after all, the internal power was not so stable. Thinking that the old man did not set up a prince, the management of the imperial court has always been to let the four major Baylors take turns to manage, one person for a month. At the beginning of the succession, Huang Taiji still adopted this policy, but the three Baylors took turns.

Now that he has been on the throne for two years, Huang Taiji still has not canceled this policy because his position is not stable enough. Jurchen is the Eight Banners system, don't look at the two yellow flags in charge of the strongest strength, but once the other people join forces, they can still pull themselves off the horse. Therefore, Huang Taiji has been waiting, waiting for a good opportunity.

Starting as a nomad, the only thing you want your people to live a better life is to rob. If you want to convince all the people, you must take the lead in grabbing and grabbing brilliant achievements.

In recent years, the life of the Jurchens has deteriorated, because the guards in Liaodong are too troublesome, it used to be Sun Chengzong, but now he is replaced by a bear barbarian, and he can't grab money and slaves, can he live a rich life. When the old man was there, because the prestige was there, no one dared to say half a 'no' more, but now that the old man is dead, it is his turn to succeed him. If you can't lead everyone to grab something, you may step down at any time and be replaced by the person who can grab it.

Robbers, this is the logic that pays attention to, you can't rob it. And let you sit on it for something, hurry up and make room.

Xiong Tingbi is so powerful, his father didn't have a problem with him back then, and Huang Taiji couldn't think of any way. Not long ago, troops were sent out to carry out a tentative attack, but they did not take advantage of anything, and they took dozens of lives.

That's because of this, in recent days. Huang Taiji's head is as big as a bucket, and he can't even eat well. But no matter what, the brilliant Tiancong Khan still couldn't think of any way to deal with the bear barbarian.

Today, Huang Taiji is sitting in the study reading a book, and the book this guy is reading is exactly the same as the book that Lord Yue reads - Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Huang Taiji is not reading a book, he has already watched this Romance of the Three Kingdoms seven or eight times, while watching it. While studying the strategy. This kung fu, someone outside the door said that Fan Wencheng asked to see.

Fan Wencheng does not have any official position, and the establishment is in the "Khan's Cultural Museum". It's equivalent to a study officer. However, this person is not ordinary, when Nurhachi was alive, he helped to give advice, and he is known as the first think tank of the Jurchens.

But Mr. Fan is not a Jurchen, he is an authentic Han Chinese, his ancestor is the famous Fan Zhongyan, Fan Wenzhenggong was on the border back then, and he was scared of the western thieves. It is a generation of national heroes, but it can be descended by future generations. It is unthinkable that he should take refuge in the Tartars.

Why is this Mr. Fan outside the gate? Here are two more sentences, Fan Wencheng's sixth ancestor is named Fan Yue, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty in Huguang Yunmeng County, he served as a county Cheng, and was later convicted, so the whole family was sent from Leping County, Jiangxi to Shenyang Wei, a border town in Liaodong at that time, and Fan has since become a native of Liaodong. Fan Wencheng's great-grandfather is named Fan Hao, who was admitted to the Jinshi in the 12th year of Ming Zhengde, and then became an official in the imperial court, and was promoted to the military department. Fan Wencheng's ancestral home in Jiangxi, was born in Shenyangwei, Liaodong, Fan, brilliant and intelligent, in the 43rd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty in Shenyang County, he was only 18 years old. Just when Fan Wencheng was full of ambition and determined to make a difference on the road to Shijin, disaster struck. In the forty-sixth year of Wanli, Nurhachi led his troops south, conquered Fushun and other places, and plundered them on a large scale. and gradually became a figure in the center of Jurchen power.

As soon as Huang Taiji heard that Fan Wencheng asked to see him, he hurriedly summoned him, and Fan Wencheng entered the study and bowed first. This is the etiquette of scholars, but Huang Taiji has always liked Han culture, so naturally he will not think it is disrespectful, Tiancong Khan smiled slightly, and said politely: "Mr. Fan is exempt, come here, show Mr. Fan a seat." ”

Someone moved a chair for Fan Wencheng, and he sat down under Huang Taiji and said, "Thank you." ”

Then I heard Huang Taiji say with a smile: "I don't know what Mr. Fan is asking to see at this moment?" ”

"The servants saw that the Khan King had been hesitant recently, as if he had something in mind, so he came to relieve the Khan's worries." Fan Wencheng said with a smile.

By calling himself a slave, he is treating himself as a man.

"Sir is really discerning, worthy of my Jurchen No. 1 think tank, since Sir sees that Ben Khan has something on his mind, you might as well say, what is the matter?" Huang Taiji did not treat Fan Wencheng as an outsider, and his tone was quite gentle.

"The Khan King is for Xiong Tingbi who is guarding Guanning." Fan Wencheng said.

Huang Taiji nodded and said, "That's true. The bear barbarian is very hateful, back then, like his father Khan, he was wise and powerful, and he was helpless, his Khan's intelligence and martial arts were not as good as his father Khan, and there was no way to face this person. In the end, Huang Taiji not only sighed.

"In fact, there is still a way, the slave has a plan to kill four birds with one stone, which can solve the worries of the Khan King." Fan Wencheng still said with a smile.

As soon as he heard this, Huang Taiji, who was still sighing just now, came to his spiritual head and said tightly: "Mr. teach me." ”

Fan Wencheng looked calm, and said slowly: "If the King of Khan wants to enter the customs, he does not necessarily have to go through the Shanhaiguan, the Great Wall is long, and the King of Khan can not easily enter the customs wherever he goes." ”

After this reminder, Huang Taiji suddenly realized and said: "What Mr. said is very true, as long as we go around to other places to enter the customs, we will be able to gain a lot...... But when he said this, Huang Taiji's face froze again, "Sir...... There are only tens of thousands of people in our Eight Banners, once we make a detour to enter the customs, then the bear barbarian and the Wenlong of Phi Dao will attack and break my foundation, so what can I do? Our army is out, and it is not so easy to return in time for reinforcements. ”

Yes, the superintendent Ji Liao is Xiong Manzi, and there is such a nail as Wenlong behind, Xiong Manzi is not an ordinary general, he does not follow the rules and regulations in the war, and does not play cards according to common sense, you take a detour to enter the customs, he will not necessarily return to the division for reinforcements, let you lead the nose, once you go straight to Shengjing, what can you do?

Fan Wencheng smiled, "King Khan, the so-called killing four birds with one stone, naturally counts Xiong Tingbi in it. This first bird, it is him, let's take a detour to enter the customs, Xiong Tingbi heard the news, he only has two choices, one is to return to the army for reinforcements, and the other is to send troops to Shengjing. If he goes for reinforcements, he can be regarded as knowing the practice and can save his life, but if he dares to enter Shengjing, his old life will be gone. Although we are making a detour to enter the customs, the king of Khan does not have to mobilize a large group of men and horses to go, only send some people to go, stay in the main force, and wait for Xiong Tingbi on the way to Shengjing, as long as he dares to come, the king of Khan will kill him by surprise. There is no need to take his life in this battle, as long as Xiong Tingbi is defeated, the army is lost, and then the court will fall to him, and I have thought about the charges for him - the superintendent Ji Liao, anti-conniving Jurchen to enter the pass and loot, when the enemy attacked and disturbed the capital, he did not send troops to rescue in time, and he ignored Sheji's comfort, and sent troops without authorization, causing heavy losses to the officers and soldiers of the court. Just this crime is enough to let the bear barbarian remove a layer of skin. ”

Huang Taiji nodded again and again and said, "Wonderful...... Wonderful...... As long as Xiong Tingbi is eliminated, no one in the Ming Dynasty can stop Ben Khan, take Guanning, and dominate Liaodong, just around the corner. "At this time, Huang Taiji never dreamed of letting the Central Plains and dominate the world. In his heart, as long as the clansmen can live a prosperous life, the Ming Dynasty imitates the Korean example, recognizes them as a country, and trades with each other, it is enough.

After saying this, Huang Taiji felt that something was wrong, and then said: "By the way, sir, let's leave the main force here to deal with Xiong Tingbi, then take a detour out of the customs, if there are few people sent and are surrounded and annihilated by the Ming Dynasty, what can we do?" Moreover, if the number of people is small, there will not be much to snatch back. ”

"That's the second bird that the minion is referring to. The king of the Khan wanted to make a detour into the customs and pass through the Mongols, and the Mongol tribes, although they surrendered on the surface, it is not known whether they were sincere. The king of Khan made a detour to enter the customs this time, and he could gather all the Mongolian tribes along the way and ask them to send troops to enter the customs and plunder together, get property and share it with them. The Mongol tribes, which one leads the army to converge, is sincerely surrendered, and which one does not come, that is, the heart is two-minded, and the Khan can wait for the opportunity to conquer in the future. ”

Fan Wencheng talked and laughed, but Huang Taiji listened attentively, and couldn't help nodding, his heart was extremely impressed, "It's really a great talent, and it's ......."

"I wonder what the third and fourth birds are, sir?" Huang Taiji asked.

This time, he didn't make any objections, and wanted to listen to Fan Wencheng finish his speech at once.

"Now within my Jurchens, although the Khan King is respected, the other three Belles are also high and powerful, which is enough to influence the Khan King's actions. This time, the Khan invited the Mongol tribes to make a detour into the customs, and there were bound to be objections, and at this time, the Khan had to see who opposed and who supported, and finally the Khan must strive to unify opinions. This is the third bird. Fan Wencheng continued to talk eloquently, "This fourth bird, as long as this battle is fully successful, the Khan King is bound to increase his prestige and get the support of the Eight Banners. The power of my Jurchen is a little too scattered, and it is time to concentrate it, and the king of Khan can take this opportunity to cancel the system of rotation of the three major beylers, and no one dares to say more. ”

"Mr. Fan...... Sure enough, it is Zhuge Kongming of Ben Khan...... "Huang Taiji listened to the whole strategy of killing four birds with one stone, and actually stood up and bowed deeply to Fan Wencheng.

Fan Wencheng hurriedly stood up and bowed in return, "King Khan is like this, he really killed the minions......
