"Then, twenty of the twenty-four tribes of Monan have betrayed us, and now even the three Khans of Mobei Khalkha have betrayed us. Now except for the Horqin Fourth Division, which is still on our side, we are already a traitor? ”

Full of the new capital of Harwin, the Vice-Admiral and Prince Daishan of Shuoli lay on the bed coughing and asked Dolgon, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"That's right, Liu Jiye is convening the Mongol tribes in the south and north of the desert, and they will meet in Ulan Hada." Dolgon sat there, looking at his second brother, who was already emaciated, he was already so thin that his eyes were dull, he didn't live this winter, Dolgon thought to himself, if he had been in the past, he would be sad on the surface, but he would be very happy in his heart.

But now, he couldn't be happier.

The four auxiliary kings, Haoge descended to Han, Zierharang stayed in Liaoyang, Dai Shanben was stationed in Shenyang, and he personally sat in Xinjing Harwin. But Dai Shan suddenly became ill, and he couldn't afford to get sick, and he was already looking dead in a blink of an eye.

In today's situation, if Dai Shan goes, I am afraid that it will become more and more difficult.

"Liu Jiye is here for us, in the name of conquering the four tribes of Horqin, but you and I both know that he is going to cut off our last arm. If we save it, then even if the peace agreement that was finally obtained is torn up, we still take the initiative to tear it up, and then Liu Jiye will have a reason to take advantage of the situation to ask us. If we sit and watch, then our lips will be cold, and as soon as Horqin is finished, we will also be finished. ”

A passage was spoken intermittently, stopping from time to time to cough and wheez.

"Nine Kings, have you figured out how to deal with it?"

"We retreated step by step, but Liu Jiye pressed step by step, and at this point, we had no way back. In fact, there is no way to retreat, the art of war is cloudy, and we can only be destroyed now. It's a fight against the water. "Dolgon seems to be talking about a very small matter, not a matter of life and death for the Jurchens.

"Hey!"

Dai Shanchang let out a long sigh. There was really no way back, we gave up Liaoxi, and even moved the capital from Shenyang to Harwin, but the Han still had to press forward step by step. Even if they wanted to retreat, they had nowhere to retreat.

"You shouldn't have been too hasty with the three Khalkha tribes before, the strength of the Khalkha is not weaker than that of the Mongol tribes in Southern China, in the past few decades, even the Khalkha Zasaktu Khan's subordinates and the Tuohuite tribe can suppress Moxi Weitra, we are too anxious. Now we not only have to face the Han army in the west and south and the Mongol tribes in the south, but also have to be careful of the three Khalkha tribes in the north. Embattled. ”

Dolgon actually regretted it a long time ago.

But he was so anxious at the beginning, and he also wanted to urgently change the embarrassing situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he didn't expect that the three Khalkha departments actually voted for Han without hesitation, these guys who have no shame.

But regret is not Dorgon's style, and since things have already turned out like this, it is useless to regret them now. I can only find a way to make up for it. However, in the face of this embattled situation, Dorgon, who has always been wise and resourceful, has no countermeasures at all.

"It's not like we're not without a chance to fight." Dorgon said calmly, "I'm going to withdraw all the men to Harwin, if necessary. You can also take refuge in Linghui. If Liu Jiye still refuses to give up, then we will wait until winter and fight with him. ”

Xuanhui, also known as Heilongjiang City.

It is nearly 1,200 miles from Harwin. The city was built on the east bank of the Heilongjiang River. From Yihui to Beijing, the capital of the Han Dynasty, it is more than 3,600 miles long.

Especially in winter, it is extremely cold. Dorgon had made up his mind. This time, we have to take advantage of the long distance and extremely freezing climate to stop the Han army.

If the Han army stubbornly marches into the army, then in winter, he will have to fight with the Han army. At that time, the distant supply lines and the severe cold weather will be the helpers of the Qing Dynasty.

"It's too cold, if we move to Minghui in a hurry now, how many cattle, sheep and horses will freeze to death this winter, and how many Jurchen people will freeze to starve to death?" Daishan asked Dolgon a brutal question of reality.

It was just a small city on the border, and there were some soldiers and horses. The Qing Dynasty still has a population of several million, and it is impossible for such a large number of people to be evacuated from the Qing Dynasty, where so many people cannot be accommodated.

"We have no choice!" Dorgon said coldly.

Dai Shan sighed again.

"The Mandate of Heaven is not in the Qing Dynasty in the Han Dynasty, if Liu Jiye was born twenty years later, no, ten years later, my Qing Dynasty will inevitably destroy the Ming Kingdom first, and at that time, Liu Jiye will not be able to change his life against the sky. Destiny, this is all destiny! ”

Dolgon, however, disagreed with Daishan's negative thoughts, "My life is up to me!" ”

"Hey."

Dolgon was a little bored when he saw Daizen's growing pessimism.

"I hope you can support my plan."

"I don't know how many days I can live, no matter whether the Qing Dynasty is ruined or exterminated, I can't wait for that day. If you want to do it, just do it, don't ask me. ”

"Okay, you finally do me a favor, write a handwritten letter, and hand over the two red flags to me." Dolgon said, "Don't worry, if I can lead the Qing Dynasty through the northern difficulties, I will definitely hand over the two red flags to your children and grandchildren afterwards." ”

Dai Shan waved his hand, "I can't write a letter, you can write a letter, and I'll seal it." If you don't think that's enough, call everyone and I'll just tell them in person. ”

Getting what he wanted, Dolgon didn't stay long, there was a dead air in the house, which made him uncomfortable, and he didn't want to stay longer.

Out of the door, Dolgon looked up to the sky and sighed, is it true that the innocence will be destroyed. It would be nice if his two brothers, Dodor and Azig, were here, but there are too few people around me who can be used and trusted now.

"Fortunately, Horqin has always stood on the side of the Qing Dynasty, this time I have to persuade Horqin to withdraw to Yihui with the Qing army, and the green mountains are here, not afraid of no firewood."

Horqin was one of the tribes of the Nine Mongol Expeditions to Houjin, but after the defeat, they were also the first Mongol tribes to change their attitude and marry with the Qing.

Up to now, the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Horqin have the closest marriage, when Horqin Beile Manggusi married his daughter Zhezhe to Huang Taiji, and later became Huang Taiji's queen of the middle palace. Later, Mangus's son Zaisang inherited the power of the Korqin Ministry, and Zaisang married his daughters Mubumutai and Hailanzhu to Huang Taiji, becoming two of his five palace concubines.

Zaisang's sister and two daughters were married to Huang Taiji, and Zaisang's four sons, the third son of the eldest son Ukeshan, were Princess Gulun Yongmu. The third son, Sonam, died young. But his son Chitat also became the eldest princess of Gulun Duanjing. Zaisang's fourth son, Manzhu Xili, married Princess Heshuo, the first daughter of Wang Yuetuo of Keqin County. In the second year of Chongde, his wife died, and Huang Taiji married Ping'an Beledudu's sister to him.

Not only that, Manggus was also named Prince Heshuofu by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Zaisangbu He was named Prince Heshuozhong.

The elder brother of the current Empress Dowager Mubumutai, Ukshan, was named the Prince of Zoriktu, the second brother Chahan was also posthumously named Dorobele, and the son of the third brother Sonam, who died early, was also named the King of Dorojun.

The fourth brother was full of beads and ceremonies, and was even named Prince of Heshudarhan Baturu.

Up to now, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has only given four princes of foreign vassals and Shuo to the leaders of the Mongolian tribes, and they have been hereditarily replaced, among which the eldest brother and the fourth brother of the empress dowager have both been crowned princes.

Ukshan and Manzhu Xili are now in charge of the left and right wings of Korqin. He is also the uncle of the current Qing Emperor Fulin.

At this time, there must be no accident in Korqin, and their relationship must be maintained.

Had it not been for this, Dorgon would have felt that he could abolish Fulin and would have replaced it. But with Korqin's relationship, especially at this time, Dolgon could only suppress the thoughts in his heart.

Horqin has thousands of miles of pastures and is strong, with three flags on the left and right wings. They can mobilize at least fifty or sixty thousand elite horsemen, and they will be the key to this war.

Beijing, Privy Council.

"Can we bring the four tribes of Horqin over, and the soldiers will not be bloodless?"

"Basically unlikely. The relationship between the Horqin Department and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is too close, and now the two princes of Horqin are in charge of the left and right wings, one is Wu Keshan, and the other is Manzhu Xili. Both of them are the uncles of the current Qing King Fulin. ”

Feng Shengdao, the commander of the Jinyi Guard who participated in the meeting, said, "Their relationship is more than that. ”

"Let's just talk about this Wu Keshan, his aunt Zhezhe is married to Huang Taiji. She was once the queen of the middle palace of Huang Taiji, and now she is also respected as the queen mother of the East Palace. Later, Ukshan's father married Ukshan's sister Mubu Mutai to Huang Taiji, and married again to strengthen the relationship. Mubu Mutai later became Concubine Zhuang, gave birth to Fulin, and is now respected as the Queen Mother of the West Palace. ”

"Then ten years after Mubu Mutai married Huang Taiji, Wu Keshan's father Zai Sangbu and Mu Bu Mutai's sister Hai Lanzhu also married Huang Taiji, and Wu Keshan personally sent Hai Lanzhu to get married."

My aunt and two nieces are married to the same husband.

Of course, not only that, but later Huang Taiji married his fourth daughter, Gulun Yongmu, the eldest princess Aixin Jueluo Yatuxu, to Wu Keshan's third son, Bier Tahar.

This is only on the side of Wu Keshan, if you count the marriage of the brothers Manzhu Xili family and the Huang Taiji family, it is even more complicated.

The generations are not clear at all, but fortunately, the Jurchen wild boar skin and the Korqin Sao Tartar are both Hulu, and they don't care too much about these.

Since the marriage of the Horqin Department and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the relationship has been extremely close, and the two families have married each other more than a dozen times. The strength of the Horqin Department has also increased a lot after the marriage, and now the two uncles of Fulin are in charge of the power of Horqin, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty also awarded the two of them the title of Prince Heshuo, I don't think, they are willing to recite the Jurchens and surrender to us. ”

Heaven and earth are close, and my uncle is the closest.

A staff officer said with a smile, "Although Horqin is ruled by two uncles, Horqin has two wings and six banners, and as far as I know, the Wukeshan family was not the big leader of Horqin before, and it was only after marrying the Jurchens that they gradually gained tribal power." ”

"Secretly contact the descendants of the former great chiefs and plot against them?"

"It's worth a try, isn't it? Even if it doesn't work, you can try the counter-strategy. What's more, there are more places where we can start, not to mention the interior of Horqin, it is the Ten Banners of the Zhelimu League, in addition to the Six Banners of Horqin, there are also three other four banners. The relationship between the three and four banners and the Jurchens is not as close as these two uncles and the Jurchens, and now that the Jurchens are poor, presumably there will always be people who know the current affairs of the three and four banners. ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing together, and they all said that the tree fell and scattered, and those who knew the times were handsome, and even if the Mongolians didn't read the books of the sages, they would definitely understand these truths.

As long as one or two tribes can be successfully rebelled, or only one or two nobles can be rebelled, it can also be extremely useful. (To be continued.) )
