Glancing at Dai Shan, sitting up on the bed, Nurhachi pulled the quilt covering his body upward, and then said slowly: "Take it!" Saying that, he looked at Dai Shan with a complicated expression.

He handed the letter in his hand to Nurhachi and peeked at Nurhachi lying on the bed. At this time, Nurhachi's face was pale, but his temples were flushed, obviously his body was extremely weak.

Coughing slightly, Nurhachi put the letter on his body and said to Daishan on the side: "You go out first!" Something, Ben Khan will call you in! ”

"Yes, Father Khan!" Although he was reluctant to leave, Daishan still did not dare to disobey Nurhachi's wishes, even though his father was already dying and even seriously injured. Respectfully bowed, and Dai Shan withdrew.

When Daishan walked out, Nurhachi sighed helplessly, it was extremely complicated. Thinking of the dead Huang Taiji, Nurhachi suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and for a moment he seemed to be a few years older.

There are many things in Nurhachi's life that he can't forget, and when the Ming army killed his grandfather and father, this is something that Nurhachi can't forget in his life. He hated the Ming Dynasty to the core, and in his opinion, the Ming Dynasty had already shown the signs of the death of the country, and he would definitely be like Genghis Khan back then.

After half a lifetime of struggle, Nurhachi unified the Jurchens and subdued the Mongol tribes, and Nurhachi originally felt that he could fight with the Ming Dynasty. But the cruel reality told him that his ideal might be difficult to achieve, and the Ming Dynasty was too powerful, so powerful that people despaired.

The Ming Dynasty is endless, and the Ming Dynasty, which had already revealed the image of the dead country, suddenly came out with an apocalypse emperor. What an excellent emperor means to a country, Nurhachi knows very well in his heart.

Feeling his aging body, Nurha sighed dejectedly, he could only hope for his children and grandchildren what he couldn't accomplish. The figures of his sons gradually flashed in his mind, and finally settled on a name that had not appeared for a long time. That is Aixinjue Luo Chuying.

Nurhachi clearly remembers that when he first started the army, his eldest son Chu Ying was only four years old, and in the blink of an eye, he was already dying, but his son was no longer there.

It was the first month of the twenty-sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, and Nurhachi remembered very well that it was the first time that his eldest son Chu Ying went on an expedition. led a thousand troops to conquer the Jurchen Anchulaku Road in the East China Sea. Chu Ying, "galloping in the starry night", took 20 tunzhai places, and the rest of the tunzhai was subdued, and more than 10,000 people and animals were obtained. Victorious return to the division.

Since then, Nurhachi felt that he had a successor, and his subordinates also regarded Chu Ying as their successor. At that time, Chu Ying was young and frivolous and full of vitality.

But later, the relationship between himself and his son deteriorated sharply, and in the end, he killed his eldest son Chu Ying, who he valued the most. The corners of Nurha's red eyes were a little mixed, and now that he thinks about it, Chu Ying's matter is full of suspicions. Inevitably, there was no one in it to help the trouble.

After Chu Ying, Nurhachi is more optimistic about the big Bel Daishan, unlike Chu Ying, Daishan gets along better with his brothers. In order to stabilize people's hearts and eliminate the impact of Chu Ying's death, Nurhachi established Dai Shan as his successor.

Thinking of Daishan's face, Nurhachi sighed deeply again, thinking back to how he had deposed Daishan.

It was March and April of the fifth year of the Mandate of Heaven. He prepared to move from the Boundary Castle to Salhu City, and inspected and appointed the mansions of each Belle to build mansions. Dai Shan saw that his eldest son Yue Tuo's well-repaired homestead was better than his own, so he successively asked Mang Gurtai and Amin to ask for his life, saying that the place where he lived was small and he intended to occupy Yue Tuo's homestead.

I still remember very clearly that on the third day of the ninth month of that year, Daishan's second son's grandson Shuotuo. Because he couldn't stand Dai Shan's abuse and suddenly disappeared, some people say that he "defected" to the Ming Dynasty.

Before it was determined whether Shuotuo had defected, Dai Shan insisted that Shuotuo had the intention of defecting. After finding Shuoto and making it clear that he had not defected, Daishan still knelt down to himself five or six times and begged to be killed. That time, I saw the ruthlessness of my son. It turns out that the son, who has always been gentle and kind, also has such a side.

Nurhachi thus began to investigate the treatment of Daishan's two ex-wife's sons, and found that the assets of Daishan's sons, Yueto and Shuoto, were worse than those of his other half-brothers. Nurhachi sighed softly, and scolded Dai Shan angrily that time: You are also the son of the early stage, why don't you want to think that I am not closer to you? Why have you been deceived by your stepwife and abused your grown son? What's more, I have always treated you with a special selection of good subordinates for you to manage, why can't you give good subordinates to Yue Tuo and Shuotuo like I did?

After that, he let Yue Tuo, Shuo Tuo and Dai Shan separate their families, and publicly announced the abolition of Dai Shan's crown prince.

Nurhachi glanced out, with a little anger on his face, this is his own son, the son he has always valued. If he regrets giving his son Chu Ying to death, he does not regret abolishing Dai Shan at all.

After Daishan was deposed as the heir, Nurhachi thought that the matter was over, but he also thought that his son would do even more. Only half a month later, on the 28th day of the ninth lunar month of the fifth year of the Mandate of Heaven, Dai Shan personally killed his stepwife to apologize to himself.

That was when he saw his son's ruthlessness again, and there was no way, he couldn't give Dai Shan to death again. can only make him swear not to hold a grudge against his son and brother, so that he will let Dai Shan go.

Thinking back on the past scenes, Nurhachi felt that it was like what happened yesterday, and since that time, Daishan has become very well-behaved. Endure hardships in front, and give good things to your younger brother. It's very kind to his younger brothers.,There's no resentment at all.。

In fact, Nurhachi knew very well in his heart that in addition to the things he was angry about, one of the more important things that made him even more angry was the thing that he abolished Daishan. It was the third lunar month of the fifth year of the Mandate of Heaven, and I had just signed in to Salhu City. His concubine Ta Yincha reported that his fourth eldest concubine, Ulanala Abahai, had twice prepared food for Dai Shan to eat, and Dai Shan took it and ate it. Moreover, the eldest concubine sent people to Da Baylor's house two or three times a day, and was discharged from the hospital two or three times late at night.

Nurhachi didn't believe it at first, but during the trial, the ministers said that they had all witnessed the Great Fortune Jin interfering with Dai Shan during banquets or political discussions. Nurhachi hated and annoyed this, but in the end, because he had spoken first, he wanted to hand over his young sons and Dafujin to be raised by the eldest brother, and according to the rules of the Jurchens. There has always been a custom of step-marriage between a father and a son's wife and his mother-in-law, and there is no conclusive evidence to prove how Daishan misbehaved, so Nurhachi divorced Abahai on the charge of stealing and hiding property.

It was at that time that Nurhachi constantly saw the ruthlessness of the Great Beledish, and at the same time saw the ambition of the Great Beledishen. It's just that in retrospect, Nurhachi also feels that this matter seems to make no sense in many places. It seems that someone else is also contributing to the trouble.

Abahai married himself when he was twelve years old, thirty-six years younger than himself, which was also a concern for him. But Abahai bore himself three sons: Azig the twelfteenth, Dorgon the fourteenth, and Dordor the fifteenth. Although Abahi was abandoned. Now Nurhachi was still reluctant to take her back.

Sighing softly, Nurha's face was all cold, and he couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart when he looked at Dai Shan outside. Don't be delusional, even if I die, let Abahai give me a martyr.

Historically, Nurhachi thought so. It was also done, but it was Nurhachi's successor, Huang Taiji, who did it. This is also the reason why Dolgon was angry about his mother's death later, because of his mother's relationship, Dolgon had a good relationship with the three brothers, and the relationship with Huang Taiji and others was not good

Later, because of the matter of Da Yuer, Dolgon and Huang Taiji almost turned against each other, but in fact, the fuse was planted by Nurhachi.

After thinking about Chu Ying and Dai Shan, Nurhachi thought of his son Huang Taiji, who had just died. This is the successor he has just cultivated. But now that Huang Taiji is dead, it's useless to say anything.

Now Nurhachi knew that he had two choices, one was the Great Beldaishan, the son who had been deposed by himself. The other is his fourteenth son, Dorgon, who is very capable despite his young age.

However, for Daishan and Dolgon, Nurhachi did not like it very much. Needless to say, Dai Shan's relationship with Abahai is not clear, and this thorn can't be pulled out.

As for Dorgon, it was the son of Abahai. This is also the reason for Nurhachi's hesitation. But after thinking about it, Nurhachi made up his mind, and now it has to be like this!

After thinking about everything and making a good decision, Nurhachi breathed a sigh of relief, and the next thing was to achieve his goal according to his own vision. Gently picked up the letter in his hand, tore it open, and unfolded it.

The content of this letter is very simple, just saying that the Liaodong Sun Chengzong Department has attacked Tieling, hoping that Nurhachi can divide his troops to rescue. Abai said that the situation was very serious, and Nurhachi knew that it was not a bluff, but a fact.

Putting down the letter in his hand, Nurhachi's eyes turned outside, and he said loudly: "Someone! ”

As soon as the words fell, Dai Shan outside strode in, and said with concern on his face: "Father Khan, is there anything wrong?" His eyes were fixed on the letter in Nurhachi's hand, and he knew that the letter from Tieling was definitely not simple.

Seeing Dai Shan's expectant face, Nurhachi's heart sank, if he really died like this, his sons might be very happy! Suppressing his emotions, Nurhachi said in a deep voice: "Bring in the Baylor who accompanied the army this time and the various banner owners of the Eight Banners, Ben Khan has something to tell them." ”

Slightly stunned, Dai Shan didn't expect Nurhachi to tell himself nothing, and he could find himself with this kind of errand? But he didn't dare to think about your Nurhachi, he had already lost the courage to resist Nurhachi after so many years. But after thinking about it, Dai Shandi said worriedly: "Father Khan, don't you also find those Taiji of the Mongolian tribes?" ”

Looking at Dai Shan with burning eyes, Nurhachi suddenly became angry, he really saw that he was sick and old, since he dared to question his decision. Knowing that Dai Shan was uncomfortable all over, Nurhachi said coldly: "No need, there is nothing to do with them this time."

"Yes, Father Khan, I'll do it!" Dai Shan didn't dare to delay, turned around and walked out, and after telling the matter to continue, Dai Shan fell into deep thought.

Father Khan is old, this is Dai Shan's first decision, his father Khan is already old, his movements have become sluggish, and his thinking has become sluggish. Since returning from the defeat, the mood of the Mongol tribes has been unstable, and if it were not for the threat of the Houjin force, these people would have been gone long ago.

After losing the battle, the lost troops were not to mention that they had not grabbed anything. In the next cold winter, how will everyone live? This is the most important question before all tribal leaders. Many people have begun to connect, small tribes want to join the big tribes, and a new combination of forces on the grassland is about to begin.

Houjin was able to subdue the Mongol tribes, but if it really passed this winter, I am afraid that it would be impossible to deter them like this. At this time, Father Khan only had meetings with his own people. This made the Mongol tribes even more detached.

Dai Shan sighed helplessly, he wanted to persuade his father Khan, but he didn't know what to say at this time. Dai Shan can clearly feel that Nurhachi doesn't believe in himself now, I'm afraid he doesn't just don't believe in himself.

Unable to change the course of events, Nurhachi's meeting took place as scheduled. When they heard that the Ming Dynasty sent troops to attack Tieling and Kaiyuan, everyone couldn't sit still. They no longer have time to take care of the Mongol tribes, and if Kaiyuan and Tieling are lost, their back road will be cut off.

There was a lot of noise at the meeting, but the preparations were divided into several parts, the first was to send scouts to investigate the situation in Kaiyuan and Tieling, and the second was to stabilize the morale of the army. Prepare for battle. The third was aimed at the Mongol tribes, with the idea of appeasing them.

However, things may not be as rosy as they thought, and many of the Mongol tribes came to Nurhachi's camp for the second time, and they were leaving to go back. At the head are the Taiji of the five Khalkha departments.

At this time, in southern Mongolia, the once glorious Chahar has long ceased to exist, and among the remaining Mongolian tribes, the two forces are the largest. One of them is the Mongolian Horqin Department, which Nurhachi has been trying his best to support and has the best relationship with Houjin. The other is the Inner Khalkha Five, headed by the First Nekhalkha. It contains such powerful tribes as the Zalut Ministry

At present, there are about 60,000 Mongol troops in the coalition army, of which 30,000 belong to the five Inner Khalkha tribes, of which 10,000 are from the Korqin tribe, and the remaining 20,000 are the result of the union of the rest of the tribes. Of course, if there was no defeat, the number would have increased by tens of thousands, but now the power of the five Inner Khalkha departments can also be seen.

Send the people of the five Inner Khalkha tribes away. Nurhachi found all his sons in tents, and by this time he also knew that things were in trouble. His eyes swept over the faces of his sons, and Nurhachi said with a serious face: "Now that the matter has come to this point, do you have any good solutions?" ”

"Father Khan. Erchen thinks they should be put back! Dolgon was the first to stand up, and by this time he had no heart to listen to other people's nonsense.

Eyebrows raised slightly, Nurhachi said in a serious voice: "Tell me why!" ”

"Yes, Father Khan! Now that they want to go, they have obviously thought about it, and if we forcibly block it, it will inevitably make them even more alienated from us. As for them leaving, it doesn't matter, the most important thing for us at the moment is to go back and send troops to North Korea while it's not too cold. If we can loot food in Korea, are we worried that they will not be subdued from us? Dolgon looked at Nurhachi with burning eyes, his face full of confidence.

No one in the tent spoke, all of them were quietly thinking about Dolgon's words, and Nurhachi also frowned slightly, thinking that Dorgon's words were not feasible.

"Father Khan, I think the fourteenth brother is right, now it is time for each to take care of each other, and we are running out of food and grass. It's useless to leave them now, we can't take them back to Liaodong. Even if there is some loss of people's hearts, we will make up for it! As Dolgon's own brother, Azig admired his brother very much, and was the first to stand up for his brother.

For a time there were constant voices of support in the tent, and soon the decision was adopted, and from this moment on, the Mongol tribes began to leave the camp. In the end, only the Korqin Department remained, and they were really embarrassed to leave along with Houjin.

After resting here for three days, Nurhachi led his men out of camp and set out to the Korqin tribe. Before finding out the situation in Kaiyuan and Tieling, Nurhachi would definitely not easily enter the army.

Kaiyuan and Tieling have actually been preparing for war for a long time, and since Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi occupied this place, they have already made up their minds that they must fight a battle with Nurhachi, and the two are confident that they will be able to win.

"Feibai, everything is almost ready, right?" Looking at Xiong Tingbi who walked in, Sun Chengzong's face suddenly showed a smile, and as soon as he got his wish, Sun Chengzong's face had a lot more smiles than usual.

"Yes, my lord, I'm almost ready, now I'm waiting for the boar skin to come!" Xiong Tingbi is also looking forward to it, he has been too angry for so many years, and he must find it back this time.

Nodding slightly, Sun Chengzong looked at the map on the side, and said in a serious voice: "This time we must win, so that we can declare our power in the land of Liaodong and deter the Mongolian tribes, and things will be easier to do in the future!" ”

Xiong Tingbi also nodded in agreement, from now on, the Ming Dynasty will not be the weak Ming Dynasty, it will become stronger again, it will become more powerful than before, and it will be powerful beyond everyone's imagination.
