Liaodong.

Night.

Outside Matsuyama Fort.

After the Golden Khan Tent.

In the sweat tent, the light was very dim, and from the dim light, it could be seen that Huang Taiji's face was gray.

In the darkness, Fan Wencheng looked at Huang Taiji numbly, since he got the letter in the daytime, Huang Taiji locked himself in a sweat tent and saw no one.

Huang Taiji locked himself in a sweat tent, and has been locked up until now since he received the news, and he also locked Fan Wencheng in the sweat tent by the way, staring at Fan Wencheng with wolf-like eyes from time to time, Fan Wencheng knew that he had seen something that he shouldn't see, from the initial fright to the later fright, to now, he has become numb.

“…… Well...... Hmm, cough ......" Huang Taiji finally spoke, and his slurred mouth couldn't understand what he said because of his inaccurate pronunciation.

"......, cough, Wen Cheng, that letter, you can take a look, after reading it, tell Ben Khan, how should Ben Khan do it......" Huang Taiji said lightly, his voice was very light and lifeless.

"......Chirp, the slave obeys the order......" Fan Wencheng was numb and whispered, in his mind, there was no longer the courage and pleasure commensurate with Huang Taiji's ministers before, and now there was only numbness and fear.

Fan Wenchen picked up the letter on the table, and read it carefully by the dim light, although he had already seen some of the contents of the letter, and had already prepared in his heart, but when he opened the letter, he was even more shocked, and it was a fear greater than the pressure Huang Taiji gave him. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has successfully solved the salt merchants, and the salt merchants reached a compromise, the Ming Dynasty has been a harmonious interior, the consequence of this news is that they want to use the internal strife of the Ming Dynasty, and then oppress by external forces, so that the defense of the Ming Dynasty is flawed, so that the plan to take advantage of the opportunity, failed, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has long expected that they will come to fight Jinning, and has already made arrangements, Jinning and the city of people have also strengthened their defenses early, and it is not easy to fight down, and what is even more terrifying is that the letter says, The emperor of the Ming Dynasty successfully obtained the family wealth of the salt merchant for two hundred years, and the silver money alone was as high as more than 30 million taels, and the other family wealth was not included, and what was even more terrifying was that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had received half of the salt class this year, and this half of the salt class was as high as five million taels ......, what was the consequence of these news? That is, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has countless silver to fight with them, if according to their population of 200,000 gold, these 30 million silver are exchanged for 50 taels of silver ingots, even if they are smashed with silver, each of them will have to be ......hit at least three times on the head, the more Fan Wencheng looks, the whiter his face is, the worse his face is, he finally understands why Huang Taiji is like this. This news can be described as a bolt from the blue.

"Back to the master, the slave has seen it." After Fan Wencheng read the letter, his face was already darker than Huang Taiji, and his eyes were full of fear and numbness.

“…… Hmm, how does Xiandou think of this news, whether it is true or not, if it is true, how should Ben Khan deal with it, and if it is false, how should he deal with it? Huang Taiji's face was gloomy, and his tone was smooth and stiff, which sounded particularly infiltrating in this dim light.

“…… Thirty million taels of silver......" As soon as Fan Wencheng opened his mouth, he couldn't help but say thirty million silver, this astronomical amount of silver, Fan Wencheng only felt that his mouth was dry, and his heart was full of powerlessness and fear, he was in a lot of gold, if someone grabbed dozens of people, hundreds of horses and livestock, they were all great heroes to be praised, but in the face of these 30 million silver, what is it? Fan Wencheng suddenly had a deeper understanding of the words "captive", "barbarian", and "yi" for the first time, the Ming Dynasty regarded itself as the Celestial Empire, and it was not without reason for him to use these words with contempt for him, and people had enough capital and strength to say so, so called.

“…… Hmm, then, does Xiandou think that these 30 million are true? ......" Huang Taijina sat in the darkness and asked lightly. …,

“…… Back to the master, the slave thinks that this should be true, according to the consistent habit of the Ming Emperor, it will never be untargeted, now that the new salt law has come out, if the old salt merchant has not been settled, how can the new salt law be born? Those salt merchants will definitely fight to the death with Emperor Ming, so the slave feels that this should be true, even if there is some moisture, the moisture will never be too ......" Fan Wencheng said with difficulty, he was extremely reluctant to believe that this was true, but he also had to believe it.

“…… Thirty million taels of silver is not the most terrible, the terrible thing is that the Ming Emperor can have tens of millions of salt class silver in the account every year, this is the most terrible, even if it is a mountain, it will soon be spent there, but the detailed account of this flowing water is there every year, and it will never be spent, this is the most terrible ......" Fan Wencheng swallowed, tried hard to suppress the boiling fear in his heart, and spoke along with the words of the 30 million silver.

After speaking, Fan Wencheng spread out another thing that was sent with the letter, a few Ming Dynasty mansion newspapers folded into small squares, this mansion newspaper, has already explained the matter of tens of millions of salt classes in great detail, including what is the ticket salt law, how to implement it, who took over the world's salt production, and how to pay taxes, etc., through this ticket salt law, it is not difficult to judge the true situation of this matter.

"Master, looking at the content of this newspaper, it is very detailed, I am afraid that Emperor Ming has really done it, even if there is no 30 million salt merchants, just the five million taels of silver that have been received are a lot of money...... "Fan Wencheng swallowed and continued.

“…… Well, Ben Khan knows, Xiandou makes sense, that is to say, this 10 million is true, these 30 million are also true, the Ming Emperor solved the internal problem, and it is also true, this, Ben Khan also has to admit that the Ming Emperor is really powerful, such a thorny problem, and it has also been solved by him in such a quick time, so that Ben Khan wants to intervene, and he can't do it if he wants to borrow strength, this Ming Emperor, the end is so powerful, perhaps, it is the master next to the Ming Emperor...... "Huang Taiji sat in the dark, listening to Fan Wencheng explain for a while, what he said, I started to get a little angry, although things were extremely unfavorable to his Dajin, but the facts were facts after all.

"......" Fan Wencheng stood there with his hands down, and he didn't dare to breathe.

"Then according to the constitution, what should I do now?" Huang Taiji tried to cheer up. Huang Taiji, who had been silent for a day, also began to regain his vitality at this time, and in his words and tone, the calm and calm Huang Taiji seemed to be back.

"Back to the master, according to the slave, now the plan, you might as well take two roads......" Fan Wencheng thought for a long time before responding. Huang Taiji's calm voice reassured him a lot, and his mind was not as stiff and frightened as before.

"Let's talk about it." Huang Tai Ji Road.

"Back to the master, one of them, should be peaceful, now the Ming Dynasty is powerful, whether it is true or false, should send a messenger or write to the Ming Emperor to negotiate with the Ming Emperor, if you can impress the Ming Emperor is the best, retreat to the second, if you can disturb the Ming Dynasty court's internal sight, it is good to cause trouble to the Ming Emperor, maybe the Ming Emperor is happy, if so, it is also an opportunity; If you make peace with the Ming Dynasty, whether it is true or false, you should make some concessions, and if you have a disagreement with the Ming Emperor or the Ming Dynasty court, it will be beneficial to my Dajin......" Fan Wencheng began to use his brain again in Huang Taiji's calm and slightly vibrant words, and gave advice to Huang Taiji.

"Oh, what should I do? What about false and? Huang Taiji asked calmly. [To be wordy, the words and policies of the Later Jin and Ming Dynasty have actually always existed, especially during the Huangtaiji period, of course, most of them were feints. 】

"Back to the master, Zhenhe, is to split the land and call the minister, like North Korea, respect the Ming Dynasty as the upper dynasty, but also manage his own, civil and military officials, temple sacrifices, etc.; False and, since it is tempting conditions as bait, to induce the Ming Dynasty to be deceived, if you can make the Ming Dynasty internal strife or fighting, it is very good, if you can contact some people within the Ming Dynasty court for me Dajin to say the item, it is more beautiful, so as long as the Ming Dynasty is chaotic, this pass will inevitably be implicated, once there is a loophole, it can be taken by my Dajin ......"...,

"It makes sense, according to Xiandou, if it is true, what step does my Dajin need to do to make the Ming Dynasty agree?" Huang Taiji was not angry at all because Fan Wencheng said the words of the peace talks, but seriously discussed with Fan Wencheng.

“…… This ......" Fan Wencheng was embarrassed, this is becoming more and more difficult to say, even if Fan Wencheng made up his mind, but the words were in the moment, he still hesitated.

"It's okay, Xiandou just said bluntly, Ben Khan still has this bit of belly." Huang Tai Ji Road.

“…… Sheng Jing ......" Fan Wencheng gritted his teeth, was ruthless, and said it.

“…… Sheng Jing? Huang Taiji thought that he had heard it wrong, and asked in surprise, although he was somewhat mentally prepared for Yanhe, but Fan Wencheng's words still surprised him

"Back to the Great Khan, yes, Shengjing, if necessary, you can let Shengjing out, if the Great Khan is Zhenhe, once this condition comes out, it will definitely be able to impress many people in the Ming Dynasty, including the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, then Zhenhe is very likely to succeed......" Fan Wencheng gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.

Huang Taiji suddenly stared at Fan Wencheng with a beast-like gaze, his eyes flickering in the dim light, really frightening.

Fan Wencheng stood there firmly, his neck stiff, and it was really strange that fear and firmness appeared on a person's body at the same time.

"What do you mean by that?" Huang Taiji squeezed these words out of his teeth in a tone as calm as possible.

"Back to the master, although it is extremely difficult to give up Shengjing, but my Dajin also has a broader way of life, the so-called death and then life, the master has ever thought, who is west of my Dajin?" Fan Wencheng tried his best to straighten his body, trying his best not to let himself tremble from fear.

"Lin Dan Khan?" Huang Taiji said casually.

"Back to the master, exactly, the west of my Dajin is Lin Dan Khan, it is Mongolia, it is the nomadic tribes, the master can have thought about it, although it is extremely difficult for my Dajin to give up Shengjing, but once the peace is negotiated on this condition, it can almost be written off with the past of the Ming Dynasty, without the Ming Dynasty pressing step by step, then my Dajin can gather strength and eradicate Lin Dan Khan from the grassland in one go, although Shengjing is lost, but if the territory of Lin Dan Khan can be included in my Dajin, then my Dajin will come back from the dead, it can be said that it is born on behalf of Mongolia, Of course, the Ming Dynasty can press me Dajin, but the Great Khan, from ancient times to the present, has the Central Plains Dynasty completely solved the nomadic problem in the north? From the Qin and Han dynasties, to the Tang and Song dynasties, and then to the Ming Dynasty, wasn't that a confrontation with a nomadic tribe through the border wall? Have you ever really wiped out these nomadic tribes? It has been two hundred years since Dayuan was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, but now Lin Dan Khan still has the reputation of being a grassland co-lord and holds the jade seal of Dayuan Town, what can the Ming Dynasty do to him? Now I have to persuade each other with good words, if my Dajin can occupy the grassland on behalf of Mongolia, and the confrontation with the Ming Dynasty will be successful, and the national Zuo can be extended, then you can not be afraid of the coercion of the Ming Dynasty, even if the current Ming Emperor can enter the grassland with the attitude of the founding of the country, so what? Isn't the Ming Dynasty retreating to the side wall now...... If you can gather strength for a few years, it is not impossible to enter the Central Plains, isn't that the case with Dayuan? Fan Wencheng gritted his teeth and insisted, clearly expressing the meaning in his heart.

“…… Whew......" Huang Taiji listened to Fan Wencheng's words, let out a long breath, and the beast-like eyes changed back, and his expression became calm.

That's true,...... So Xiandou thinks that giving up Shengjing can make the Ming Dynasty let me go Dajin? Settle the fighting? Isn't Xiandou afraid that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will turn his face? Although the credibility of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is indeed good, how can his own life depend on the credibility of others for major national events? Huang Taiji asked again.

"Back to the master, after withdrawing from Shengjing, there are hundreds of miles of Shengjing on this coast, and it is difficult for the power of the Ming Dynasty to go deeper, even in the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, Shengjing has almost reached the limit of the Ming Dynasty, and further north, like Tielingwei or something, it is almost an enclave, the so-called whip is beyond reach, that is, if you retreat here, even if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty wants to do something to my Dajin, I am afraid that I will have to weigh it......" Fan Wencheng was much calmer at this time, and he was not as dead as before to not let himself tremble. …,

"Makes sense, it's true." Huang Taiji listened to what Fan Wencheng said, and nodded, when he fought Tieling, the Ming Dynasty itself did not dare to send troops to relieve the siege, but asked Lin Dan Khan to help relieve the siege, this Tieling is indeed too far from the center of the Ming Dynasty, even if the Ming Dynasty wants to save it, it is quite difficult, even if he turns his face with the Ming Dynasty, it is not difficult for him to take back these cities like Tieling, that long road, you can ambush the Ming army to save everywhere.

"Master, the slave said something heart-wrenching, if my Dajin loses in the future, the way out should be in the west, and the way out should be to occupy the Mongolian steppe as a retreat......" Fan Wencheng said this, his face was already flushed.

"Well, yes, Xiandou has a point, Ben Khan has written it down, and Ben Khan still has to consider this matter." Huang Taiji after Fan Wencheng's enlightenment, his thinking became broader, his vision became broader, his own strategist, still has some ability, about what his strategist said, he still has to think, carefully consider, although he thinks it makes sense, but Huang Taiji feels that there is always something wrong with this, as for where it is, he can't think of it for a while, although there seem to be a lot of obscure possibilities hidden in these words, but after all, it does greatly broaden Huang Taiji's thinking and vision, Huang Taiji to his own strategist, Pay more attention to it.

"Thank you for your praise" Fan Wencheng wiped his sweat, his words finally moved Huang Taiji, if his words didn't move him, I am afraid that the best ending would be to be assigned to the slaves of the current family.

"Xiandou doesn't need to be so cautious, Ben Khan said before, in front of Ben Khan, Xiandou can call his name or word, and there is no need to be with a slave and a slave, which seems to be a raw part." Huang Taiji finally squeezed out some smiles, and said to his adviser "kindly".

"Slave Xie Master Longen." Fan Wencheng hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

After a blunt polite remark, after a little silence, Huang Taiji asked again: "Then from the perspective of Xiandou, what should be done with this fake peace?" ”

"Back to the Great Khan, if it is false and, just give in step by step, and finally do not agree, this bait, need to be put step by step, at the beginning, you only need to promise to be a minister, such as the Korean example is the best, this condition Ming Emperor must not agree, so, you can slightly surrender some identity, the words are sincere, and then the territory will be ceded some, if you do not agree, you can say the words more small, the territory can be relinquished some more, if you can pretend to be pitiful and sincere, presumably you can confuse some of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, If they can help me Dajin talk about the item, then the matter will be done, there must be constant disputes within the Ming Dynasty, and there will be infighting, so that the opportunity for my Dajin will come, even if there is an internal argument in the Ming Dynasty, my Dajin can not admit it, and my Dajin will not be damaged at all......" Fan Wencheng said.

"Well, that makes sense, Kento continued, what is the second way?" Huang Taiji nodded and asked again.

"Back to the Great Khan, this second strategy is what is being done now, to respond to all changes with the same, and strive to gather and annihilate a group of elites of the Ming Dynasty near this Songshan Fort, change the situation of the two sides, and make the Ming Dynasty unable to press anymore. Judging from the current situation, this Songshan Fort must be fully prepared, I am afraid that it will not work to attack, the loss is too great, so it can only be encircled, Wen Cheng thinks that even if Songshan Fort is fully prepared, the grain and grass will not last long, if it can be surrounded for a year and a half, the grain of this Songshan Fort will always be eaten, therefore, this Ming army, will always come out...... "Fan Wencheng analyzed.

“…… Whew......" Huang Taiji exhaled again. He understands the truth of the siege, the ultimate goal is not Songshan Fort, but to encircle and annihilate a group of elites of the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty is no longer able to force him outside the pass to force him Dajin, he can calmly deal with Lin Dan Khan, and co-opt the Mongolian tribes, this idea is very good, but Huang Taiji thought that the Ming Dynasty emperor had just gotten 30 million taels of silver and countless family wealth, and up to 10 million salt classes every year, he could only take a long breath, even if he could eliminate a batch of Ming Dynasty elites every year, but he couldn't stand the Ming Dynasty emperor training elites every year, as long as the money was sufficient, Are you afraid that you won't be able to recruit people in the Ming Dynasty? The Ming Dynasty was a natural disaster, and there were as many people as there were waiting to eat, thinking of this, Huang Taiji felt that the sky that had just brightened was gray again.

“…… Calling ......, but the Ming Emperor is not bad for money" Huang Taiji said, very helpless ......,
