Chapter 266: Man Gui

Hearing this name, Huang Taiji didn't feel anything, because he was not familiar with this person. However, the Sanga Taiji who was sitting on the side trembled, and the expressions on their faces changed, obviously knowing this Man Gui of the same clan.

Seeing the looks of several people, Huang Taiji was slightly stunned, it seems that this Man Gui is also a person with a story! Looking at the faces of several people, Huang Taiji also knew that this Xifengkou guard was not easy to mess with, so he looked at Chen Liangyu again. After a long silence, Huang Taiji said to Chen Liangyu: "Mr. Chen, is there anything special about this Mangui?" ”

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Chen Liangyu said helplessly: "As the guard general of Xifengkou, Man Gui's position is not high, just a general. But on the ground of Jiliao, even the chief soldier did not look down on this general. Although Qi Jin, the governor of Jiliao in Santunying, could not be reused by the Ming court, no one in this Jiliao land could have a higher prestige than Qi Jin. Not only because of Qi Jiguang back then, Qi Jin was also very capable. But even Qi Jin attaches great importance to this Man Gui. ”

Hearing Chen Liangyu's words, Huang Taiji became even more curious about Man Gui, and Huang Taiji naturally knew about the theory that the Ming Dynasty was not of our race. This Xifengkou counselor Man Gui was able to gain such respect on the ground of the Ming Dynasty, which was definitely not something that Yongwu could do.

"Mr. Chen, how much do you know about this Man Gui? Is there anything concrete? Looking at Chen Liangyu, Huang Taiji asked in a deep voice.

"Lord Belle, Chen still knows something about Man Gui, and few people don't know about Man Gui on the ground of Jiliao. No one knows where Man Gui came from, but he came to the Ming Dynasty when he was eleven or twelve years old, with his mother and six-year-old sister. Chen Liangyu said that here looked at the Sangga on the side, a few Mongolians, when Mangui came to the Ming Dynasty, he was hunted down and killed, obviously something unusual happened in Mongolia.

Nodding slowly, Huang Taiji said in a deep voice: "The young man lost his father, raised his young sister, and took care of his mother, this person must be a determined person." ”

After a slight sigh, Chen Liangyu sighed softly, and said with a serious expression: "Since ancient times, the Ming Dynasty has had everything inferior, and there is only the argument that reading is high. But in this Jiliao region, no one is martial arts, and they all admire Mangui very much, including Chen. ”

After listening to Chen Liangyu's words, Huang Taiji was stunned, and it was understandable that he could get the approval of the generals. But even the civil officials admire it, this person must have something extraordinary, these civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are a group of weirdos.

Nodding slightly, Huang Taiji stretched out his hand to Chen Liangyu and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, you go on." ”

"Yes, Lord Belle! Man Gui came to the land of the Ming Dynasty, but he was a Mongol or a child, and no one wanted to believe him here. Although this is a border city, the people in the border city have no good impression of the Mongols, and it can be imagined that Mangui's life is not good. Chen Liangyu looked at the people in the room and nodded softly.

Huang Taiji nodded, he could naturally understand this, whether it was the Mongols or the Jurchens, there was no doubt about this kind of xenophobia.

But after all, people want to live, and twelve-year-old Man Gui still has to support his sister and mother, so he really didn't have the law and Man Gui went to join the army. But a twelve-year-old child, still a Mongol, naturally there is no way to want him in the army. When Man Gui joined the army, he heard the news that the heads of the Mongols could be exchanged for silver. Man Gui didn't drink to say hello to the others, and went out alone with a knife. He was gone for three days, and when he came back with five horses and five heads, all of them from the Chahar tribe. Chen Liangyu said with emotion, obviously he still felt very incredible at this time.

Slightly stunned, Huang Taiji didn't expect that there would be such a person, it seems that this Man Gui is really a person with great courage. Growing up in a difficult environment, the heart is harder than a rock, such a person is very rare! At this time, Huang Taiji already had the idea of subduing Man Gui in his heart, such a rare talent is really rare.

"It's just that Man Gui is not a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no way to exchange his side work for money, but after his story spread, Qi Jin, the chief soldier of Jiliao, found Man Gui. It's just that I don't know for what reason, Qi Jin didn't let Man Gui join the Qi family's army, probably because he didn't want to delay his future, after all, the Qi family's army was not in a good condition. Later, Man Gui became the border army of the Ming Dynasty, and every time he fought Man Gui was very brave and won a lot. Gradually, the soldiers of the whole army were convinced of this young man, and the people above valued him more and more, and wanted to promote him many times. Chen Liangyu's tone was very emotional, obviously for even Chen Liangyu, he also appreciated Man Gui.

Frowning and thinking about it, Huang Taiji said hesitantly: "Since many people want to promote him, and he has a lot of credit, why is it that after so many years, Man Gui is still just a general?" Although it is not low, this position is still a little low compared to his ability. ”

"This is the second admirable place in Mangui, people in the Ming Dynasty know that being a big official can make more money. For the generals of the border army, deducting military salaries and smuggling goods, these things are not wanted to be done by Mangui. However, the military salary of the border army is really not much, even if it is an officer, if you want your sister and mother to live a good life, you can't do things that are not allowed by the Ming Law, it can be said that it is very difficult. After that, Man Gui did something that everyone admired, he refused promotion many times, and exchanged all his credit for silver. Chen Liangyu's tone was very relaxed, obviously thinking that this was an interesting thing.

Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the side, nodded slowly, affectionate, capable, and principled, this Man Gui is really a very good person. At this time, his heart wanted to draw this Man Gui to his side, if this was a Han Chinese, Huang Taiji might not have such an idea, but this is a Mongolian. If you can pull Man Gui over, not only can you get a good general, but at the same time, you can pass through Xifengkou smoothly, which is simply a double win.

After pondering for a long time, Huang Taiji hesitated and said to Chen Liangyu: "Mr. Chen, is there any way to bring Man Gui over, Ben Beile is very interested in this person!" ”

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Chen Liangyu groaned slightly, and then looked at the Sangga Taiji brothers on the side. After thinking about it, Chen Liangyu said hesitantly: "Lord Belle, it's not easy for Chen to say about this matter, you still want to ask the two Taiji!" ”

Listening to Chen Liangyu's words, Huang Taiji was slightly stunned, and suddenly his eyes fell on Sangga Taiji and the two people. When he saw these two people, Huang Taiji knew that these two people must have something to do with Man Gui. After a slight sigh, Huang Taiji asked in a soft tone: "Two Taiji, I don't know what entanglement you have with this Man Gui?" ”

The two brothers glanced at each other, and Sanga Taiji said in a deep voice: "We know this Mangui, and Beyler should have heard of it, since he is a Mongolian, this is naturally from our steppe." After the death of Dong Fox that year, Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar Department did not have the strength to control the grassland, and many tribes were wiped out in the melee between various tribes. Saying that, Sangga Taiji looked at Huang Taiji and asked in a low tone, "Presumably Baylor also knows about this matter, right?" ”

Huang Taiji naturally knew, nodded slowly, and Huang Taiji asked hesitantly: "Could it be that this Man Gui came to the Ming Dynasty at that time?" ”

Nodding vigorously, Sangga said with a solemn expression: "At that time, our Zalut Department was just one of many tribes, and after that war, our Zalut Department has become as big as it is now. Man Gui's father was a Noyan of another tribe, and there was a war between our two tribes, and his father died on the battlefield. Man Gui took his mother and sister to the Ming Dynasty, and in the past, Man Gui always led the army to fight against us. Later, Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar Department of the Ming Dynasty had an alliance, so he didn't fight for many years! ”

Frowning tightly, Huang Taiji knew that there was no hope for him to win over Man Gui, and Dajin couldn't afford to lose the Zalut Ministry. Moreover, the woman of the Zalut Department is the Great Blessing Jin of the Great Belle Daishan, and this level of concern means that he has no way to take the Zalut Department now, and it is obviously unrealistic to win over Man Gui. But to fight such a person, it is obviously a headache.

After a slight sigh, Huang Taiji once again looked at Chen Liangyu on the side, although this guy's intelligence is not very accurate, it is better than nothing. Smiling indifferently, Huang Taiji asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Chen, how many people are there at the Xifeng Pass guarded by Mangui?" How's the equipment? ”

"Lord Belle, the defenders of Xifengkou and the three passes that were broken by Lord Belle, the defenders are all five thousand, and there is no artillery." Chen Liangyu said with a frown, but there was a hint of hesitation between his words.

Huang Taiji breathed a sigh of relief gently, it seems that his obstacle is still the Qi family's army, if the Qi family's army comes out to stop him, this battle will have to be fought well.

"However, Lord Belle, Xifengkou is different from several other places, where there are two thousand cavalry out of the five thousand defenders. Mangui has gathered a lot of Mongols here, and this cavalry is a rare elite, and it may be a little troublesome. Chen Liangyu pondered for a long time, and said in a solemn voice.

With a slight wave of his hand, Huang Taiji didn't care about it now, two thousand cavalry was really too little for him. Even if Man Gui is a genius who leads the troops, two thousand cavalry can't make big waves in front of him. Looking at a few people, Huang Taiji said in a deep voice: "Early tomorrow morning, the soldiers will be happy at the peak." ”
