On the evening of the day when Hu Guang and the others returned to their base areas, far away in Shenyang, Liaodong, in this place that was later changed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty to Shengjing and Fengtian, near the side of the city wall, there were many money rats with leather whips, fiercely shouting and scolding groups of ragged Han people building bright yellow palaces. They could not rest until it was completely dark and they could no longer work.

When it was getting dark, from time to time I saw a Han man who couldn't support himself fall to the ground and never got up again. The companions on the side, who had long been numb, just carried the corpses aside, waiting for them to be transported out of the city after dark and thrown outside to the mass graves.

After Nurhachi decided to make Shenyang the capital in 1625, he began to build the imperial palace. By the time 1629 was now, according to the original plan, it was almost over.

However, in history, after Huang Taiji won the final imperial power and there was no longer any discussion of the Eight Kings, he began to expand and repair on a large scale. As for labor, naturally there is no need to worry, there is nothing to do in one trip to the customs.

At this time, in the Chongzheng Palace, commonly known as the Jinluan Palace, there was a fat man sitting facing south, and on both sides of it, there were three seats, but there was no one at the moment. To be precise, at this time in the main hall, except for this fat man, there was only one young man dressed as a scholar, who looked dignified and had a burly physique, and the two were obviously discussing things.

I saw that the young scribe saluted the fat man and said respectfully: "The Great Khan is wise, the Dongjiang Town of the Ming Kingdom is no longer enough to worry about, and as soon as the materials in the pass arrive, the army can be pulled out, and if it is not prepared to attack it by surprise, it will definitely be able to build an unprecedented great achievement, and the prestige of the Great Khan will be unparalleled!" ”

This fat man on the throne is the Great Khan Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Kingdom, who was thirty-seven years old at this time, and he could be regarded as in the prime of life, but his eyes were narrow. He was fat and sweaty, but it was difficult for him to sit still all the time.

When he heard this, a smile appeared on his fat face. It's no wonder that since the difficult Mao Wenlong was killed, Dongjiang Town has fallen apart, and even he has obtained the surrender documents of several Ming generals. Since then. Dongjiang is no longer a concern.

I saw that after he wiped the sweat from his forehead, he said to the scribe with a smile: "What Fan Qing said is very meaningful, haha......"

This scribe is the great traitor Fan Wencheng. He knew that Huang Taiji did not want to be a real Great Khan all the time, and if this matter planned at the moment could be successful, the prestige of the Great Khan would greatly exceed that of the other three Baylors, thus taking the most solid step for the Great Khan to become the emperor of the Ninety-Five.

Therefore, according to the intelligence of Fan Yongdou and others. He offered this plan to detour through the Mongolian steppe and attack the pass, which was immediately adopted by the Great Khan and put into action.

A few days ago, the envoy to Zhangjiakou had already reported back from Pegasus, saying that all the necessary supplies were ready and on the way to Liaodong.

The Great Khan was very excited, and had already begun to propose his own suggestions at the top of the Dajin Kingdom. Without Mao Wenlong, he dragged his feet. Yuan Manzi cowered in the city again and would not come out, and he had enough military food and grass. A detour through the Mongolian steppes to attack the rich Ming kingdom of Gyeonggi enabled the Great Khan to win the support of many of his generals.

You must know that before, it was sandwiched between the east and west of the Ming Kingdom and couldn't move in Liaodong, and Liaodong was barren, and the life of Dajin Kingdom was gradually not good. At this time, there was a sudden turnaround, and the young generals were already screaming excitedly.

Although the Great Bel Dai Shan, the Second Bel Amin, and the Third Bel Mang Gurtai were very unwilling to see the Great Khan win the hearts of the army. All kinds of difficulties are still being put on to try to stop the Khan's actions. But since the arrival of the grain and grass, they have no main reason to object. The mood of the Great Khan can be imagined, and it must be very comfortable. By pointing out the word "prestige" by himself, it was the itch of the sweat.

Although Fan Wencheng was the study official of the newly established literary hall of Huang Taiji at this time. But he is one of the henchmen who knows Huang Taiji best. He accompanied Huang Taiji and smiled, and when he was about to speak again, a personal guard suddenly broke into the door and said to Huang Taiji: "Great Khan, there is a person outside the palace who said that he has an urgent matter to find the manager of the Fan study of the family, and he is in a hurry!" ”

When Huang Taiji heard this, he was taken aback, and he and Fan Wencheng, who also had a surprised look on his face, glanced at each other, and they both felt a little bad.

can get the report of the guards, and it is a person from the family, except for the people sent by Fan Yongdou in Zhangjiakou, there is no one else.

Fan Wencheng got Huang Taiji's permission and hurriedly walked out. And Huang Taiji couldn't sit still, he stood up and began to walk in the hall, while worrying, he planned his actions for many days, but don't have any problems!

It didn't take long for the sound of hurried footsteps to be heard. Huang Taiji hurriedly looked up, only to see Fan Wencheng turn the palace door and appear in front of him, with sweat on his forehead and a worried face. Huang Taiji's heart suddenly mentioned his throat, nothing bad will really happen, right?

Before he could get to Huang Taiji's side, Fan Wencheng stood up and hurriedly said, "Great Khan, the supplies sent by Zhangjiakou to Liaodong have been robbed!" ”

"What?" Huang Taiji exclaimed, walked a few steps quickly, grabbed Fan Wencheng's arm with his sweaty fat hand, and confirmed again: "What did you say? ”

Fan Wencheng knew that Huang Taiji would have such a reaction, he took a deep breath, relieved his nervousness, and said again: "The supplies sent by Zhangjiakou to Liaodong were robbed by horse thieves who didn't know their origin on the grassland one day after they left the customs!" ”

Huang Taiji had already heard it clearly, but he really didn't want to believe it in his heart, so he asked again. After hearing this again, the hope in his heart was shattered, and the fat face suddenly became hideous, and he glared at Fan Wencheng angrily and said: "There are many materials this time, and there must be no less than a thousand guards. ”

"Great Khan, the news from Zhangjiakou says that it is not possible to find out where the horse thieves robbed it." Fan Wencheng was also shocked in his heart, and immediately replied.

Huang Taiji was very angry in his heart, but it was also due to his deep city, and after the initial shock, he let go of Fan Wencheng's hand, frowning, thinking about the consequences caused by this.

The shortage of materials in Liaodong was not enough to support the army to run thousands of miles. After all, if there are fewer people, it will be dangerous, and if more people go, the material demand will be greater, and it is necessary to consider that there may be time in the territory of the Ming Kingdom to not get supplies for time.

If the thing he planned fell short in the end, the prestige that had just been raised a lot would not only be lost, but even lowered, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

Huang Taiji was thinking about it, but he saw Fan Wencheng take out something from his sleeve, handed it to him with both hands, and said, "Great Khan, Zhangjiakou also sent this thing, which is of great help to us!" (To be continued.) )
