On the 22nd day of the first month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, on the official road from Liaoyang to Shenyang

On the way back, the Jin army was attacked by the Mongol Bayan tribe, losing part of the small convoy and delaying a lot of time. These Mongols wanted to evacuate before a large number of fighting troops of the Later Jin arrived, but because the Mongolian steppe was also a major drought year after year in recent years, and most of the tribes could not eat, so a small number of people were reluctant to leave, and in the end, although they robbed a brain full of fat, they were also caught up by the Later Jin army because of the slowdown.

Nurhachi did not kill all the captives, on the contrary, Houjin not only entertained them well, but also gave them a batch of food when he was about to let them go. Nurhachi wrote a kind letter to the Bayan Mongol chieftain, in which Nurhachi pointed out that the Mongols and the Houjin were poor, and that it was better to rob the Ming kingdom together than the poor people.

After returning home, Nurhachi sent another letter to Genghis Khan, which was also written very politely and the gift was also very heavy. In addition, Nurhachi made a list of his harvest in Liaoxi this time. The implication of this move is very clear, and it is clear that Nurhachi hopes to join forces with Genghis Khan to seize the Ming Dynasty, isn't it beneficial to both.

This morning Nurhachi's emissary regiment returned...... To be precise, Nurhachi's envoy group returned, and only one groom was released by Genghis Khan with a letter. In the letter, Genghis Khan scolded Nurhachi and sprayed a dog's blood.

Genghis Khan accepted Nurhachi's gift and killed all the envoys. I heard that Genghis Khan planned to say that these heads were captured by him on the battlefield and sent to Daming to exchange for silver.

Bayan Mongolia has also been slow to reply to Nurhachi. There was also news from the Liaohe Hetao that a small group of Mongols had smuggled across the Liaohe the day before yesterday. Killed a dozen Baoyi and ran back, I heard that it was still Bayan Mongols.

Although Nurhachi was furious, he couldn't think about it. After returning to Liaozhong to rest for many days, the Dongjiang Army in Gaizhou seems to have also moved to the defensive. Now that the situation in Haizhou had stabilized, Nurhachi decided to inspect Shenyang and meet with the envoy of the Horqin Mongols by the way.

Dai Shan, Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji were all in the entourage, and their brothers knew that Nurhachi had not been in a good mood these days, so they all hid far behind. lest you go up and find it unpleasant. However, the other two little brothers who came with them today did not seem to have this concern, and the reckless Gurtai squinted at the figures of Dorgon and Dodor in front of them, and the two guys seemed to coax the old man quite happily, and the father and son had been giggling in front of them.

Dai Shan was behind Mang Gurtai and was chatting with Huang Taiji: "Those Mongols are poorer than us, why don't they dare to rob the Ming Kingdom, are they willing to starve to death?"

"Those rats who have no heart, alas. For hundreds of years, they have been broken by the Ming Kingdom. Huang Taiji shook his head helplessly, then smiled bitterly and sighed again and again: "This is due to the accumulation of power in the Ming Kingdom, and we are now riding a tiger, but others don't want to accompany us...... Da Beile, you see, the Horqin Mongols and our marriage alliance are so iron, if you fight Lin Dan Khan, it will be no problem, but let them join forces with us to fight the Ming State with a clear banner, then they will shirk in every possible way and will never agree. ”

"I've heard of that, too. Although Dai Shan is mainly responsible for southern Liaoning, he is also very concerned about this grand strategy. In the past few years, although the Houjin army has won many battles, except for some poor Mongolian men who really can't survive, no one wants to eat with the Houjin: "I also heard that some leaders in the Horqin Mongolian region have privately discussed, saying that it will take ten years, twenty years, or fifty years. The Ming Kingdom will definitely defeat us. ”

"Yes, now Horqin Mongolia needs to exchange salt and grain with us because it does not border with the Ming Dynasty, and if we can't do it, they will definitely stab us in the back. It's a pity that Yang Ho almost agreed to make peace with us back then. Huang Taiji's words caused a burst of feelings from Dai Shan.

Back then, Nurhachi beat the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. He took the initiative to ask the Liaodong Metropolitan Government for peace.

Because Nurhachi put forward the conditions of Nagong's vassal, Yang Ho at that time almost agreed to Nurhachi's request. Yang Ho thought that Nurhachi did not occupy many border areas, and it would be too expensive to mobilize a large army to suppress it. However, after this request for peace was reported to Beijing, it was immediately rejected by the emperor of Wanli, and he ordered the mobilization of Liaodong Town to send troops to sweep it. This is the Battle of Sarhu.

After the Battle of Sarhu, Nurhachi sued for peace again. He said that he didn't want anything, just begging Daming to give him an official name. Xiong Tingbi, the successor of Liaodong Economic Strategy, scoffed at this, saying that once this case is opened, there will be no peace on the border. Xiong Tingbi not only did not consider the issue of peace, but also informed the Mongolian ministries that whoever dared to trade with Houjin was the enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

Subsequently, Nurhachi twice commanded the main force of the Eight Banners to attack Liaodong, but they were all defeated by Xiong Tingbi relying on the advantage of the home field, and Jin failed to grab anything. Three years later, Xiong Tingbi recovered more than a dozen castles, and Houjin had been driven out of the eastern border wall of Liaodong except for Fushun City. Mao Wenlong also came to prominence at this time, and after a year of fierce fighting, he recovered Gushan Fort and other places, accumulated merit and was promoted to a guerrilla general.

To Houjin's rejoicing...... Emperor Wanli died in time.

After Wang Huazhen came to power, Nurhachi wanted to negotiate peace with Wang Huazhen again. Huang Taiji recalled this and sighed: "

At that time, we occupied the entire Liaodong Khan, and the king endured his curses again and again, and every time he was kind and used to withdraw from the side wall to seduce him into peace talks, but although Wang Huazhen was arrogant and incompetent, he refused to take the bait, except for the rude abuse, which was a vicious curse. ”

Dai Shan recalled the experience of these years and said with a forced smile: "Recently, didn't Father Khan start peace talks with Yuan Chonghuan of Ningyuan again? ”

"It worked really well. That Yuan Chonghuan regarded himself very highly, and his father Khan originally wrote the letter with the words 'Lord Yuan', and the messenger said that Yuan Chonghuan had a displeasing color, so in the second letter, Father Khan changed it to 'Lord Yuan', so Yuan Chonghuan was complacent and showed off the letter everywhere, thinking that he had the ability to speak and debate Confucianism. Majesty can deter foreign domains. ”

Huang Taiji couldn't help but laugh as he spoke, and said in a mocking and sarcastic tone: "The next one will be even more interesting." Father Khan noticed that he was arrogant, so he did what he liked, and only said that we had to go to war with the Ming because we didn't have enough to eat, and if we were given some silver to eat every year, we would like to quit the border wall and be a border citizen. Yuan Chonghuan seemed to think so, and began to discuss with his father Khan in a serious manner, how much silver to give would be able to eat our whole clan. ”

"Isn't that good?" Dai Shan laughed when he heard this, and he had a smug look on his face. He straightened up in high spirits: "If this case is opened, the Mongolian tribes will not rush to attack the Ming Kingdom first in order to seek the New Year's money from the Ming Dynasty...... Ha Suici?"

Huang Taiji was not as optimistic as Dai Shan, and said with a heavy heart: "How is it possible, after Wang Huazhen refuses to negotiate peace, I can figure it out." Father Khan always thought about the example of my answer, that I answered for so many years on the border of the Ming Kingdom, and let go of his body a little. Didn't the Ming Dynasty also crown the king and open a mutual market? Therefore, my father Khan always hoped to deceive the Ming Kingdom into starting peace talks so that the Mongols could win over our alliance. But we are different from me, we occupy the border land of the Ming Kingdom, if the Ming Kingdom talks about peace and gives land before we withdraw from the border land, wouldn't it be a show of weakness to the world and encourage the people around us to attack the Ming Kingdom? So even if Yuan Chonghuan is willing, isn't there a single person who understands in the entire Ming court? You see, over the years, we have also met a Yuan Chonghuan. ”

Dai Shan pondered for a while, and then agreed with Huang Taiji's reasoning, he looked at Nurhachi in front of him in disappointment, and the latter was still happily laughing with his two younger sons: "Then why don't you go and tell Father Khan? Why embarrass yourself in front of Yuan Chonghuan in vain." ”

"Father Khan grew older, and people became stubborn. I can't listen to it, alas, since Father Khan wants to coax Yuan Chonghuan to play, let Father Khan play. But I still say that the Ming Kingdom can't be Manchu without anyone who understands. This deterrent is that they exchange the price of several emperors going to war, one emperor dying of illness, and one emperor being captured in exchange for returning land. Therefore, it is useless for Father Khan to communicate with Yuan Chonghuan, and it will still be refuted by the Ming State, unless Yuan Chonghuan dares to put aside his court and negotiate peace with us privately, but ...... How could there be such an arrogant person in the world?"

......

When Nurhachi arrived in Shenyang, Amin and Zilharang accompanied him to inspect the grass roots and voles in the suburbs of Shenyang, as well as the nests and bark of birds in the trees...... There is nothing left.

"Mao Wenlong came from this road. Jierharang pointed in the direction of Xianning Fort, and then pointed in the direction of Fushun: "Mao Wenlong has gone from this road again. ”

"There's nothing on either road, there's nothing. The muscles in Amin's face kept shaking, and he almost vomited blood in heartache several times these days. There is also gossip that Erbeile has inspected the road to the Dongjiang Army. also secretly shed tears in no one's place: "All four legs except for the table were eaten by Mao Wenlong." I can carry it. In addition to the stones, they were also taken away by Mao Wenlong. ”

Unlike the agitated Amin, Nurhachi did not react very much. He explained that there was a lot of loot brought back from Liaoxi this time, and he could take out some of the blue flags allocated to Amin. After all, the gains in this sortie are far greater than the losses. The Qianli Chidi in front of him is not much more than the Liaoxi that Nurhachi has been to, so this kind of technique of beating grass valleys is undoubtedly perfect. Nurhachi sighed self-deprecatingly: "Wenlong and I are really brothers taught by a master." ”

Nurhachi couldn't help but recall his correspondence with Mao Wenlong many years ago. At that time, Nurhachi and Mao Wenlong were both domestic slaves under Li Chengliang, and the two of them had drunk together at that time, but it had been too long, and Nurhachi couldn't remember Mao Wenlong's appearance at all. He said lightly: "Wenlong is not allowed to work hard to attack the family, and the women and children at home are restless. ”

......

And so at the same time, the island of eternal life

Kim and Zhao Slow-bear, who stayed behind, were walking on the beach in a deserted place. Jin Qiude found an opportunity to call out Zhao Slowxiong, and told him the contradictions between Huang Shi and Yuan Chonghuan, and then said a little anxiously: "My lord can't listen to persuasion, and he will impeach Yuan Chonghuan if he says anything, how can I stop it, what should I do now?"

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, let me think about it...... Think slowly. ”

Walking for more than ten miles with his hands behind his back, Zhao Slowbear stood on his feet, clenched his fist with his right hand to block his mouth, coughed, Jin Qiude perked up, and waited to listen to Zhao Slowbear's reasoning......

"It's not too early today. Let's go here first, let me go back in the evening and think about it...... Think slowly. ”

......

Turning to heaven Jin Qiude and rehashing the old words, Zhao Slowxiong said slowly: "What kind of person do you think Yuan Chonghuan is?"

"He speaks big, thinks of himself very highly, and acts recklessly. ”

"Stupid?"

"It's hard to say, if you look at it from the point of view of advocating peace, it seems stupid. But when he said this, he tried the adults again and again until he thought that the adults could pinch them casually. In the end, he also tried to make adults take risks and carry the blame. It doesn't look stupid at all. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Slowxiong sighed: "Brother Jin, you have a very good background, right? ”

Don't wait for Jin Qiude to answer. Zhao Slowxiong continued: "Yuan Chonghuan is a jinshi in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, at that time he is already quite old, the master is unknown, and he will soon be released as a magistrate, if there is no special matter, such a person will be a sesame petty official for the rest of his life, right?"

"yes, well, I understand what you mean. Jin Qiude sneered: "Brother Zhao is saying that Yuan Chonghuan has actually been gambling on everything, so he is making a big statement to attract attention." ”

"Yes, I've seen a lot of this kind of person, I've heard that he went to the military department and said something...... It seems to be: 'Give me hundreds of thousands of troops enough weapons, money and food, and I can destroy Jiannu alone.'" 'Right?'

"It seems to be: 'Give me hundreds of thousands of troops enough weapons, money and food, and I can hold Shanhaiguan alone. But it's pretty much the same as you said. You continue. ”

"This morning, I went to check the information about Yuan Chonghuan in the place where the internal guards were kept, and the adults actually collected a lot, well, what impressed me was that Yan Fujun asked him to check the number of people in the past, and he was killed by chicken feathers; Gao Jingluo advocated withdrawing from the Guanwai, Yan Shilang advocated sticking to the Guanwai, and Liaodong had the final say in everything, but Yuan Chonghuan just supported the opinion of the Ministry of War, which can be regarded as a sword going sideways, right?"

Jin Qiude thought about it and nodded silently: "Therefore, it is a big word, and the sword is biased." Find ways to attract the attention of others, gamble on the future of military affairs, as long as you win the bet, you will be promoted very quickly, if you lose the bet, ......"

"If he loses, the state makes a bet for him. As long as you are brave and your life is still there, you can gamble bigger next time. Fight for one and win them all back. Saying that, Zhao Wanxiong smiled and asked Jin Qiude: "You see, no one in the DPRK dares to negotiate peace, but as long as the peace negotiation can be achieved, Jiannu really withdraws from Liaodong, then what kind of great achievement has he Yuan Chonghuan made?

Jin Qiude argued: "But it is impossible to negotiate peace with Jiannu, and it will do all kinds of harm to the country but no benefit." ”

"Well, if you are tricked by Jiannu, it will not only be disgraced by the country, but also the prestige of the Ming Dynasty will be discredited, so no one dares to do it. If it weren't for such a great danger, Emperor Xian, Yang Jingluo, Xiong Jingluo, Governor Wang, and Sun Jingluo would have gone to do it a long time ago, where would they have gotten to get him today, and would they still be able to get his turn Yuan Chonghuan? But there is also a possibility, do you know that Jiannu is not afraid of the Ming Dynasty, and is worried about the future, so that he will not drink tea or eat? Do you know that Jiannu does not want to spend his birthday with the treasures he has stolen over the years? Do you know that Jiannu does not want to say goodbye to this dilemma of riding a tiger?"

Jin Qiude was stunned for a moment before muttering: "There is such a possibility, but the possibility is too small, the risk is too great." ”

"If you lose, the country will suffer losses, Yuan Chonghuan will lose his official position, and if he wins, he will remain in history, and you will be exchanged for you, do you bet or not?"

Jin Qiude stood still, Zhao Wanxiong also stopped, and looked at him with interest for a long time before Jin Qiude said: "What do you mean: disobey the order and stick to Ning Yuan, Juehua loses is 100,000 soldiers and civilians, and Yuan Chonghuan is also going to die, and if he wins, he will be promoted to six levels in a row." If you don't bet, who will know a little Ning Qiandao? If you dare to gamble on your life, will you dare to bet on dismissal?"

"I didn't say that this is your reasoning, that you live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Ning Yuanxiongcheng is okay to say, I just suspect that if the adults don't go to Juehua, I'm afraid there will be no living people there for a long time. Zhao slowed his shoulders and bypassed the problem.

"It's not stupidity, it's treachery!"

"Gambling on the fortunes of the country on his own future, of course, is a traitor, if Yuan Chonghuan really thinks so, then the adult scolded him for betraying the country, and he was not wrong at all, this is like Qin Hui of the Song Dynasty, those who sang opera and literature said that he was a spy sent by the Jin State, and those who said that the Yang family would also tell the story of Wang Shumi - what is it called?"

"Wang Qinruo?" Jin Qiude has read more books than Zhao Wanxiong, and there happens to be a history of the Song Dynasty in it.

"That's about the name. said that he was also sent by Empress Dowager Xiao. In my opinion, how can there be so many people sent, but in my opinion, they are just exchanging the blood of soldiers and the future of the country for their own future. I really don't believe that Qin Hui is good, and the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty is really bent on Tartar. ”

"Isn't that a danger to your lordship? Now your lord is in his way to peace. ”

"If it's just stupid, then the adults will be fine, but if Yuan Chonghuan is a traitor, then how Qin Hui will deal with the King of Diyue, how will he treat the main battle general. Looking at Jin Qiude, who was nervous, Zhao Slowxiong's eyes slipped with a hint of mockery: "But...... Isn't this an opportunity for you?"
