Chapter 474: Armageddon
Huang Taiji looked worried.
Zhang Jingyi was not in a hurry, and greeted him: "How are you doing these days in Liaodong, can you see Dolgon?" ”
Huang Taiji said: "I have always been in Ningyuan, and I have been in contact with the envoys of Jiannu more than ten times, among them...... There is also one who was my domestic slave. ”
The meaning of the word house slave in Jiannu is different.
Different masters have different house slaves, and the house slaves that Huang Taiji said are his own coats.
Whether they want to or not, or if something happens to their master, they must also show deference, otherwise they will be looked down upon and even considered disloyal.
Zhang Jing together: "It seems that you have recounted the old relationship with him, I wonder if your family is okay?" ”
Huang Taiji looked depressed, as if he was extremely reluctant to mention these things.
So Zhang Jing said: "Could it be that Dolgon, really daring to kill them?" ”
"No, they're doing well." Huang Taiji smiled bitterly.
In Zhang Jingyi's impression, Huang Taiji is a person who is good at calculation, and even in the most difficult times, he will not show such a depressed look.
Zhang Jing said: "They can live well, this is no better, you should rest assured, if you miss home, it's a big deal, I'll let you go back." ”
Ambush him first, if he really dares to say yes, yes, thank you for it, and immediately behead him.
Huang Taiji smiled and said: "No need, since I am already willing to cooperate with the Duke of Liao, since I should serve as a dog and horse, I have already done a subjugation, how can I do it a second time?" Isn't this a three-surname slave in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? ”
When Zhang Jing heard this, he laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to like to watch the Romance of the Three Kingdoms." ”
"In our Jiannu, many people have a copy of this book in their hands, and they don't forget to eat and sleep, and sometimes it can be used as a strange book for soldiers."
Zhang Jing was surprised and couldn't help but say, "Really? Can this kind of interpretation also be used as the art of war? ”
Huang Taiji saw that Zhang Jingyi was interested in this, so he explained: "This thing, of course, can't be regarded as the art of war, how can there be a marching formation, and the two generals will go out to fight alone?" What's more, what to borrow the east wind and what to empty the city, although it is quite strategic, but if you really use this to enter the army, wouldn't it be pedantic? We Jiannu people have been fighting with our father and brother since we were children, and we know that the battlefield is unpredictable, and we can't rely on a few tricks and a few ambushes of unknown prophets to win a big victory. ”
"Why, then, do you read it as a soldier's book?" Zhang Jingyi became more and more strange.
Huang Taiji said: "Because our opponent used soldiers like this." ”
Huang Taiji continued to explain: "When the Ming army attacked, it was often the civilian officials who controlled the military horses from all walks of life, and most of these civil officials did not know anything about military affairs. ”
"Therefore, as long as we are familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, we will know what tricks the military horses of the imperial court will play, a glance at a quasi, eight or nine times out of ten, many tactics of the Ming army, can be traced in the Romance, familiar with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is equivalent to knowing oneself and knowing the other in the Art of War, therefore, one hit one accurate, so it will be a sure victory."
"Ah......" Zhang Jingyi was so surprised that she couldn't speak.
How can it still be like this!
He originally thought that there were many wise and clever people in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and these Jiannu people were superficial, and when they saw so many tactics in the book, they enshrined them as a guide.
Who would have expected ......
This is a bit like the so-called tomb robbers in later generations, who knew Feng Shui well, but of course, this is not that the tomb robbers really believe in this Feng Shui.
But they know that the ancients value feng shui the most, so those dignitaries choose the cemetery, it must be the blessed land in the feng shui, as long as the feng shui of the ancients is thorough, according to the method to find the so-called good cemetery, dig down, almost a dig, nine times out of ten can dig out the tomb.
Unexpectedly, among them, there are also similar things.
But soon, Zhang Jingyi couldn't laugh anymore.
The major affairs of the military family are in the hands of a group of scholars who have X in their heads, which is the net worth of hundreds of thousands of people.
But on the contrary, no one questioned it inside and outside the government, even during the heyday of the eunuch party, no one raised any objections.
Zhang Jing said: "What do you want to report secretly?" ”
Huang Taiji said: "In Ningyuan, although I have no evidence, there are obvious signs of a large number of Jiannu activities. This phenomenon is not only Ningyuan, but also the entire Liaodong, and it is probably the same. Coupled with the fact that the eight merchants were taken, the imperial court seemed to have signs of acting against some Liao generals, plus ...... Dorgon made peace with me this time...... Seems to be interested. ”
"Interested?"
"Yes." Huang Taiji said: "He sent a large number of envoys to talk with me very happily, and for the conditions put forward by my Ming Dynasty, such as the withdrawal of generals and horses to Liaobei, and the withdrawal of their troops, etc...... They seem to be showing signs of relenting. ”
Zhang Jingyi was cautious: "So what do you think?" ”
Huang Taiji thought for a while and said, "Although Dolgon is young, his ambitions are great, not to mention ...... Inside the Eight Banners, the Ming Dynasty has always despised the Ming Dynasty, how could it be said that peace would be discussed? With Dolgon's current prestige, after all, he still has a few brothers above him, and his own strength cannot make the Eight Banner Masters happy and convincing him, if he agrees to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty at this time, he will definitely be opposed by the banner masters. ”
Zhang Jing nodded in agreement, and said: "Yes, if I am Dolgon, I will never make peace, otherwise I am afraid that Xiao Wall will be troubled, and his little prestige will soon be gone." You mean, Dolgon should be tough, not interested in peace? ”
"Exactly." Huang Taiji said: "If at this time, he wants to negotiate peace, then the only possibility is that he is secretly mobilizing military horses to paralyze the court in the name of peace, and at the same time ......"
Speaking of this, Huang Taiji's palm went down to everything, the meaning is obvious, a big war is about to break out.
Zhang Jingyi's expression became solemn, and he said, "What you said makes sense, so it seems that you need to strengthen your precautions." ”
He didn't hesitate any longer, looked at Huang Taiji and said, "I'll go to see the driver, you can go too." ”
Huang Taiji nodded.
Immediately, Zhang Jingyi asked people to lead the horse, and together with Huang Taiji, he hurried to the direction of the palace.
In fact, for this Huang Taiji, Zhang Jingyi obviously felt that Huang Taiji's attitude was different this time.
If in the past, Huang Taiji was more passive in cooperating with him, but this time after Huang Taiji returned from Liaodong, he was quite active.
I don't know what happened to this guy in Liaodong.
But if he had any conspiracy to remind the Ming army to pay attention to the movements of the Jiannu people, it seemed to be ...... It is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty and not harmful.
It's just these, and Zhang Jingyi can't ask more.
When the two of them hurriedly entered the palace and met the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Huang Taiji immediately reported the matter again.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse really attached great importance to it, and immediately said to Wei Zhongxian on the side: "Yutu ......"
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly spread the map in front of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse lowered his head and looked at Yutu seriously, and then said coldly: "Could it be that this time, they are going to cooperate with people inside and outside, and attack Ningyuan or Jinzhou?" ”
Immediately, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Wei Zhongxian again and said, "Summoning Tian Ergeng." ”
Soon, Tian Ergeng came to see him and saluted.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse raised his head and said, "What has been going on in Liaodong recently?" ”
Tian Ergeng hurriedly said: "There is no movement, it has always been calm, but the minister has heard that Dolgon seems to have a conflict with his brother, and the two sides are tense. ”
"Really?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse raised his eyebrows and said, "Can the news be confirmed?" ”
"I'm not sure." Tian Ergeng smiled bitterly: "Maybe this is the other party's suspicions?" ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned and said, "On the one hand, there is a dispute within the country, and on the other hand, it is indeed worrying. ”
As he spoke, he slapped his hand on the case, his eyes half-closed.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and glanced at Huang Taiji and said, "What else do they do?" ”
Huang Taiji said: "There is no other move, it's just ...... I was in Ningyuan and found some traces of their meticulous activities. I'm not sure for sure, but ...... There are many merchants in Ningyuan and other places, although these merchants are far inferior to the eight merchants, but I have seen them when I was still building slaves. ”
Emperor Apocalypse said: "The Jiannu people attack, and what they are best at is to cooperate with the inside and the outside, so they are almost invincible." The only time in the battle of Ningyuan was to keep Ningyuan City, Yuan Chonghuan ordered people to directly lock the city gates everywhere, and directly asked people to seal the city gates with big stones, which made them unable to secretly open the city gates. ”
"So you're right, they are so active, and so frequent, they should have to make a big move."
Speaking of this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled bitterly.
Can you imagine that the Jiannu people are best at field warfare, but they attack the strong city, but they have almost no defeat, because there are always people in the city who rush to secretly open the city gates, and then go to the Jiannu people to ask for merit and reward.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse thought about it seriously and said, "So...... Wei Banban, issued an order to Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui, telling them that Jinzhou and Ningyuan are the top priority, and if they lose, they don't need to come to see me again. He also issued an order to Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, and also told him to keep an eye on the situation in the hinterland of Liaodong at any time, and once the Jiannu people poured out of the nest, let them immediately go straight to the Jiannu lair. As for Zu Dashou, the chief officer of the forward, he needs to be on guard against the movements of Horqin and other departments, and Shanhaiguan and other places must strengthen their vigilance...... Especially Shanhaiguan! ”
