On the 29th, there were 20,000 or 30,000 more people in the camp of the Eight Banners Army in Hanerzhuang, and while the heads were trembling, they were filled with a strange tense atmosphere, as if they were facing a great enemy, and it was not the feeling that a big war was imminent, but more like a game of two consciousnesses, and the dispute and stalemate between the two factions.

In the sweat tent, it was full of Manchurian and Mongolian and Han military generals, ranking on both sides, faintly showing the trend of two major factions, Huang Taiji was in the center, sitting upright, looking at the two sides that were almost tense, and just wanted to say something, but saw Zierharang stand up, his eyes were pressing, his face was furious, and he asked loudly: "Daishan, Mang Gurtai, before I came back, I heard on the road that you two dared to block the Great Khan in the camp tent and not allow others to enter." Tell me, what do you want to do? If there is no explanation, I will not agree to it first! ”

The strong words directly raised the tense atmosphere to the extreme, making the sweat tent quiet and terrifying, and the sound of needles hitting the ground could be heard.

In the face of the questioning gaze of the vast majority of people, even if he was flamboyant and unruly as reckless Gurtai, he also restrained a lot, did not dare to make too many times, did not have the aggressiveness of two days ago, and did not put Huang Taiji, the great sweater, in his eyes at all.

Dai Shan, who was next to Mang Gurtai, only felt bitter in his mouth, and the development of things had far exceeded his expectations, rising from exhortation to the level of contempt for imperial power. If you don't put the sweat in your eyes, it's a big taboo in the Eight Flags!

If you don't take the Great Khan of Fengruo Supreme in your eyes, let alone others?

Dai Shan knew that although the behavior of the two of them was well-intentioned, due to various reasons, it caused public anger. Seeing this situation, Dai Shan couldn't help but sneak a glance at Huang Taiji, the eighth brother who was much younger than himself, the initiator of the sudden change in things, using and guiding public opinion to exert pressure.

Two days ago, that night, not long after he and Mang Gurtai left the sweat tent, the news about the persecution of the Great Khan flew all over the sky, saying everything, directly pushing the two of them to the cusp of the storm, causing public anger!

These thoughts flashed through Dai Shan's mind, feeling Zilharang's strong and burning gaze, and he just wanted to say something, but he saw that the other party's momentum suddenly retracted, and he was no longer so aggressive, and said in a harmonious voice: "Dai Shan, I really don't understand, I can't imagine that you would do such a thing anyway." ”

Zilharang's tone paused, his face showed a faint look of reminiscence, and he said earnestly: "Back then, when the Khan's throne was vacant, you tried your best to support Sibeile and inherit the throne of the Great Khan. ”

Everyone knows that the four beylers are the emperor Taiji, one of the four beylers personally canonized by Nurhachi Khan during the Mandate of Heaven.

Immediately, Dai Shan remembered the dusty past, and then thought of what he did two days ago, it was definitely disrespectful, and he was suspected of forcing the palace, and then he showed a look of shame and muttered: "Zilharang, I ...... me"

As if there was a thousand pounds of burden, and there was suffering that I couldn't say, Dai Shan "me" for a long time, and he didn't spit out a word in the back words.

Huang Taiji is not only eloquent and strategic, but also very shrewd, as soon as he saw Dai Shan showing a look of admitting his mistake and regret, Mang Gurtai lowered his head, and immediately waved his hand, blocking Ji Erharang's continued questioning, and also relieving Dai Shan.

"Zilharang, you misunderstood Daishan and Manggultai. The reason why there is today's Council of Ministers, as well as the events of two days ago, are all about the departure and stay of the Eight Banners Army and whether to continue to go deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted everyone's ideas, and even the powerful Zilharang relented and did not continue to ask. Everyone was curious about what happened that night, what exactly did Daishan and Mang Gurtai say to the Great Khan?

Under Huang Taiji's calm appearance, he was extremely proud in his heart, seeing that his words had successfully resolved the tension in the sweat tent and led everyone's thoughts, he then continued: "You also know that although the Ming Dynasty is going downhill, the national strength is getting weaker and weaker. However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the number of troops in the pass is far greater than that of the garrison at Shanhaiguan, which is definitely several times that of mine. Moreover, we are not familiar with the terrain in Guanzhong, and we don't have any supplies to speak of. Therefore, under such circumstances, Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai wanted to persuade me to quit the army and withdraw from the pass, so as not to be cut off by the Ming army. ”

Hearing this, Zilharang, along with some of the people behind him, looked much better, and the smell of hostility was not so strong.

After the atmosphere eased a lot, at this time, Huang Taiji smiled, pretended to be relaxed, and then said aloud: "Okay, let's get down to business, let's discuss the future action, is it to return to Liaodong?" Or will you continue to go deep into the hinterland of Kannai and expand the results of the battle? ”

It is worthy of being a fighting nation, and it has a bloodthirsty fighting temperament in its bones. More precisely, it was more interested in looting. Therefore, as soon as Huang Taiji said this, for a while, most people showed excitement, even those who supported Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai.

Since ancient times, Kannai has been the object of coveting by the northern nomads, and it is a symbol of wealth!

When everyone didn't notice it, they saw Huang Taiji drift the afterglow from the corner of his eyes to a corner, which was the position of the Han ministers.

At this time, out of that corner came an elegant scholar dressed as a person, it was the famous Fan Wencheng, the first scholar of Wenyuange in the founding of the Qing Dynasty, and his status in the Qing court was extremely high.

Fan Wencheng's appearance came to the middle, and the noisy sweat tent suddenly quieted down, which shows that his status as a Han is not low, and he is extremely valued by everyone, perhaps this is the reason why Huang Taiji gestured to him.

After joining Houjin for nearly eleven years, he has been mixed among the Manchu tribes for many years, often fighting with Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, Fan Wencheng's bookish spirit has faded a lot, adding a lot of military characteristics, his body is strong, his skin is dark, and his face is resolute and decisive.

Even though he has lived in a nomadic people for many years, he has been influenced by etiquette since childhood and is deeply influenced by Confucianism, Fan Wencheng still bowed to Huang Taiji in accordance with the etiquette of the Han people, and gave another monarch and courtesy, and then said slowly: "Qi Yu Great Khan, I think we should continue to fight and expand the results of the war, there are three reasons." ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately catered to the appetite of the vast majority of people, and Huang Taiji looked even more interested, and asked: "Oh~ What are the three reasons, do you want to talk about it?" ”

"First, once our army continues to go deeper, it will inevitably take Zunhua next. Taking Zunhua as the starting point, as long as the action is fast enough, Jizhou and Tongzhou will be taken in one fell swoop, and the troops will be in Beijing, which is just around the corner. ”

"Second, even if you can't capture the city of Beijing, it will turn the Ming Dynasty upside down, and the Ming army from all over the country has come to the aid to rescue King Qin. At that time, the vast majority of Shanhaiguan said that the troops would enter the customs and return to the Beijing Division, which was the time when the defense was the weakest, and the troops were empty. ”

In just a few words, although he said it casually and slowly, he listened to everyone's chests and was excited.

Even Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai, who were opposed at the beginning, were the same, and the latter was even more excited and couldn't help but interject: "When the time comes, our army can come back and forth, not confront the Ming army head-on, go straight to Shanhaiguan, occupy there, and thus break the myth of the Ningjin defense line that cannot be attacked!" ”

Huang Taiji nodded, with a noncommittal look, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you can attack, you can retreat, whether you succeed or not, our army can get the greatest benefits." ”

The same is true of Zilharang, who couldn't bear it for a long time, and his heart was even more itchy, and he asked curiously: "Mr. Fan, what is the third reason?" ”

However, Fan Wencheng did not answer immediately, but looked at Huang Taiji, a trace of deep meaning flashed in his eyes, and then he continued: "Third, the reason is very simple, I don't know if you still remember, those merchants who secretly sold goods to us in Guanli once said that the civil unrest in Shaanxi is very powerful. Especially in recent months, the most jubilant uproar has been, and the Ming court has to send a large army to suppress it. ”

"But what does this have to do with our actions? How did this become the third reason? Mang Gurtai regained his rebellious appearance and asked.

At this time, the youngest of them stood up, and at a young age showed his ingenuity: "It's not easy, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. If we attract all the military strength of the Ming Dynasty to the capital, those chaotic armies will have a chance to breathe, and they can develop and grow, continue to cause trouble to the Ming Dynasty, and consume the strength of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Fourteen Baylor is right, that's exactly what he said." Fan Wencheng nodded and said affirmatively, but he was thinking in his heart: "Among the three reasons, I am afraid that the last one is the real reason why the Great Khan sent troops, to make trouble for the Ming Dynasty as much as possible, and to disintegrate and consume the national strength of the Ming Dynasty little by little." ”

At the same time, whether it is Huang Taiji or Fan Wencheng, they all know in their hearts that with today's Houjin, they do not have the strength to annex the Ming Dynasty, and they can only eat it little by little. And assisting the various rebels in the pass is a shortcut to speed up the demise of the Ming Dynasty!
