Chapter 107: Huang Taiji's suspicions
Fan Wencheng said: "Back to the eighth master, everything has been investigated clearly. Although in the past six months, our meticulous work lurking in the Guanning army has been almost eliminated after the battle of Ningyuan. But according to the previous information, it is inferred that the bearded man named Zu Dale is the younger brother of Zu Dashou.
That Wu Xiaosan, although he is not famous, but the slave deduced from the clues that most of them are Wu Xiang's sons, after all, he is always around him, and he always follows a few pro-soldiers.
These pro-soldiers are either called the third child, or the fourth and fifth children, and the surname is also Wu Xiaosan's Wu. Like the nature of that called Zu Kuan, it was the emerging domestic slave system of the Ming Dynasty.
It's called Huang Xiaoer, the lack of information, as if it suddenly came out, after the battle of Ningyuan, it jumped from a small big soldier to a garrison in the Guanning army, which is really strange and strange. ”
Fan Wencheng glanced at Dolgon vaguely as he spoke, and he was keenly aware that when he talked about the black-faced young man with the Chinese character, the ears of the fourteenth master quietly stood up.
Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, he rushed to ask before Huang Taiji: "Is he really from Tieling?" ”
"In the end, it's the heart of a teenager." Fan Wencheng laughed secretly, and replied more and more respectfully, "Back to the Fourteenth Master, although this matter is not far from ten, it has yet to be proven, and the slave does not dare to judge himself." ”
"Huang Xiaoer? Huang Chongzhen? "Huang Taiji's mind is far from being able to reach Dolgon.
He muttered twice, and then suddenly asked, "Mr. Fan, do you think these two people will be the same person?" Father-in-law Ake has gone with his father Khan, and Xu Guoshi has also been imprisoned. Looking at Shenyang, you've had a head-to-head confrontation with that guy. ”
Huang Taiji said, and sighed again: "Two white-armored Baturu, plus twenty of their elite servants!" None of them came back. The only one who didn't die on the spot actually drowned while crossing the Hunhe River!
I really don't know if this is the will of heaven, or if the one called the emperor is really deliberate. If it's the latter, then this guy's strength is really too terrifying. It's just that such a person, how can he disappear out of thin air? ”
Just when Huang Taiji had a feeling, Fan Wencheng had also completed extremely delicate thinking.
I saw that he hesitated slightly, but in the end he shook his head very lightly, but he was resolute enough and said, "No way!" ”
"Alright! With so much work, it's really hard for Mr. Fan! Huang Taiji sighed.
When Fan Wencheng heard this, he was immediately flattered, knelt on the ground, and once again declared his allegiance to him, willing to be a cow and a horse for him, and as a pioneer in attacking the Ming Dynasty.
Huang Taiji smiled lightly to express his appreciation, and then comforted and encouraged a few more words.
Dolgon, however, was extremely disgusted with his minion appearance, and muttered "A useless minion, what's there to make a fuss about", which was met with a fierce glare from his old starling.
Dolgon was helpless, so he grabbed the teapot and poured a clear green tea, pretended to deal with the tea, and said honestly while tasting it: "Well, this Shijian tea is good, and I want this king to say that it is much better than the so-called Longjing." ”
"As a member of the Dajin royal family, can you not be so dirty?" Huang Taiji glared at him with disgust, and really wanted to say this sentence from the bottom of his heart through his mouth.
He didn't know that Dolgon's seemingly derogatory and humiliating words were no less than a different kind of surprise in Fan Wencheng's ears.
So much so that he was able to get up, and he begged again, and the doglegs generally accepted it happily, and he also called out gratitude.
Huang Taiji shook his head incomprehensibly, and said secretly: "This is probably the slave mentality." ”
I saw him gently close the book, put one hand on the table, then stared at Fan Wencheng again, and said solemnly: "The top priority is still to inherit the great cause."
However, Mr. Fan is reasonable, and it is not impossible to send someone to test it. After all, after this king ascended the throne of the Great Khan, he must reorganize the army to defeat the Ming Dynasty again, and complete the only regret in his life for his father Khan.
At the same time, it is also the fulfillment of the king's promise to the fourteenth brother. ”
In the end, Huang Taiji naturally looked at Dolgon.
Dolgon was extremely moved when he heard this, and said happily: "As long as I can fight against Da Ming as soon as possible, avenge my father Khan, and wash away Ning Yuan's shame, I will fully support Starling." You go down first, this king and starling still have important things to discuss. ”
Fan Wencheng glanced at Huang Taiji, got a sentence of "do it according to our prior arrangement", said "the slave retires", and then came backwards to the outside of the hall.
However, the imminent departure from Dolgon in his heart is like having obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he is always haunted.
"The young man in brocade, the pride of the sky. But you probably don't know about the ugly things between your second master and your mother, and you probably don't know the eighth master's barbed wire-like arrangement and ruthless methods.
The lights are dark, and the authorities are fascinated. It's sad, it's sad, hehe. When he turned around, he couldn't help but glance at his brother and brother Gong in the room, sneering, smiling, and proud.
However, he still slumped over, stepped on the small but rapid steps of the minion, and hurriedly acted according to the plan.
He suddenly felt that since he came to Dajin, this body had never straightened up, and he had become completely accustomed to it after more than ten years, and he was about to become a real hunchback.
"Do you have to go to Daming to go around and adjust the adjustment?" He thought to himself in a very shameless way.
Dolgon glanced at Fan Wencheng's hunchbacked figure in the distance, and finally couldn't help but complain to his old starling: "Is the starling too trusting of this Ming slave who took the initiative to vote?" ”
Huang Taiji said with a smile: "He is the first Ming man to surrender to my Dajin, he is deeply respected by his father, he knows a lot about the Ming Kingdom, and he is well versed in the way of persuasion and rebellion, which is exactly what our brave Jurchen people are not good at."
Starlings have arranged all kinds of arrangements, and they are about to get the position of the Great Khan, but if they want my Dajin Kingdom to be truly strong, so as to completely defeat the Ming Dynasty, until they win the Central Plains, there is still a long way to go.
After all, personal energy is limited, and although natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued over the years, and the officials are very unkind, the huge foundation is there.
As Father Khan said on his deathbed, Da Ming is too big. In a fiasco like Salhu's, my Dajin only needs to experience one and have the worry of overturning, but Daming has obviously been defeated again and again, but it is still as stable as Mount Tai.
Can you imagine that our Hetuara was captured by the Ming Dynasty? These are the words that my father Khan said repeatedly to me before he died.
Father Khan's natural resources, eloquence and strategy, the implementation of the Eight Banners system, and the appointment of us as Baylor, the right of the Eight Kings to discuss politics, and with iron-blooded means, the loose Jurchen tribes kneaded together.
Although it solves the urgent need, it is too rough after all. Too few clansmen have always been a major drawback of my Dajin.
Even if he keeps catching savage Jurchens between the white mountains and black waters, he just wants Mei to quench his thirst, and he can't keep up with the speed of consumption. As you know, in the battle of Ningyuan alone, we lost a lot of brave people.
Therefore, only by skillfully using the Ming people, raising dogs to eat dogs, can we make up for our shortcomings, which is what the Ming people say about promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses, using the spear of the son and attacking the shield of the son.
Dolgon, if one day my brother dies like my father's Khan, and you have the opportunity to control my great power, please remember what my brother said today. ”
"Huh? I...... This ...... "Dolgon was first shocked, then overjoyed, and then thoughtful."
The old starling who saw him again was looking at him with deep and wise eyes.
Jun's face suddenly turned red, and Hao Ran said, "Starling said with a smile." Starling is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and is about to ascend to the throne for the first time, it is the time to show his ambitions, how can he worry about what is behind him so early? ”
"The fourteenth brother is right, you and my brothers work together, and we will be able to break the ...... Hey, hey, I must have great ambitions, but I am worried about my brother. Huang Taiji laughed.
Immediately afterwards, he pretended to be mysterious and said: "But then again, the fourteenth brother thinks that this heir should be determined as soon as possible?" Or will it be revealed at the last minute?
You don't have to rush to answer, you also feel for your brother.
After all, his father's body was not cold, but his proud work of the Eight Kings Discussion Politics, as soon as he died, quickly fell apart and divided into several camps, and the oppression of the Ming Kingdom almost collapsed.
If Father Khan had a spirit in heaven, he would have been very saddened by such a result. Fortunately, there are fourteen brothers who support you as brothers, and the last moment is coming, and all disputes will be settled. ”
Huang Taiji looked deeply at the courtyard in front of him, and his words seemed to be talking to himself, and as if he meant something.
Dolgon was born with a quick mind, but he was still waiting to be transformed, although he was moved by it, but he faintly felt that this was a fucking pit, and it was tempting him to jump down.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, and he also lowered his voice like Huang Taiji, and said: "The envoy of the Ming Kingdom greeted Fan Wencheng in a grand manner in the Dazheng Palace, and I heard that the song he gave back was called "High Mountains and Flowing Water".
The younger brother asked someone to check, this song represents love is stronger than Jin, and his mother is the kind between men and men, and it is extremely vulgar.
However, this minion has a bit of culture, so he openly comes to the empire to make such an eyebrow, is it really that I can't see it? Starling, the younger brother is still not at ease with this dog minion, why not let the younger brother test it? ”
"Oh? How are you going to tempt it? Huang Taiji looked at him with interest and said.
"Let Duoduo go, he has coveted Fan Wencheng's beautiful wife for a long time." Dolgon said with a hippie smile.
"This ...... He's still a kid! It's fine to try, but don't go too far! ”
Huang Taiji reluctantly admonished on the surface, but he was quite happy in his heart, and sneered: "A woman, a woman again." The second brother was destroyed by a woman, and now looking at the two brothers, I'm afraid they won't be able to pass the beauty level. ”
"Okay, starling, don't worry, after keeping Duoduo and using it, it will be returned to Zhao. You come, go and send a message to the fifteenth master, and say what he thinks about day and night, and the starling brother and this king have agreed to him. ”
"Wow." Immediately, a servant received the order, and then leaned over and stepped on small broken steps to pass the word.
"The mountains and rivers are stronger than gold? After using it up, it will return to Zhao? This is really ......" Huang Taiji's heart is naturally extremely disgusting for Dolgon's serious and blind use of Han idioms.
However, on the face, he complained without reproach and indulgence: "Still thinking about it day and night? You guys, really...... How do you say it's good to be called a brother? Ay. ”
Dolgon laughed and laughed, thinking that it was really funny, so funny.
In this way, when the flames of this battle for the throne had burned to a white-hot level, the two brothers seemed to be in their hearts, but in fact, they had their own thoughts, replacing wine with tea, and talking about joy until late at night.
In the past few days, it has been gloomy continuously, but it has not rained, and it is dull and terrible.
Autumn rarely has such a time, therefore, the superstitious Zu Dale and others have speculated: "Is it that even the old man is also showing the turbulent undercurrent in Shenyang City?" ”
Huang Chongzhen, who came through the crossing, really didn't have a good opinion of this, so he shrugged his shoulders noncommittally.
Houjin seemed to be courteous to Huang Chongzhen and his party, except for some important places, and also allowed them to wander around the city at will.
But the supervision in the dark is very terrible, the open post and the secret sentry have not been relaxed for a moment, but the Taiping Villa, which was deserted in the past, has enjoyed the treatment of the palace, and also let the people who go out get the qualifications comparable to Baylor.
In this special period, several major Baylors did not trust each other and had no confidence in their personal safety, so they all strengthened their vigilance, especially Huang Taiji, who was getting more and more victorious but had not yet completely closed the net.
After all, he didn't give up all his efforts, so he had to walk on thin ice at this last moment.
He knew very well about the rights and private soldiers held by Amin and Mang Gutai, so he was very afraid that they would ignore the rules and jump over the wall in a hurry, and fight with him to lose both, or even die in the net.
In fact, if he uses thunder methods, with his arrangement over the years, he can forcibly blend the Houjin Eight Banners in a very short period of time, just like the slave chieftain using iron-blooded methods, and then reshuffle the cards with all his might.
However, this kind of combination was too reluctant, and he knew that neither his prestige nor his means were as good as his father, and he was afraid that one careless mistake would cause a great backlash, but it would disrupt his arrangement for many years.
Second, Huang Taiji really wanted to make the overall strength of Houjin to a higher level, not like when the slave chieftain was in power - if he went out, he was a soldier, and if he entered, he was a people.
The Eight Banners system seems to be at the peak of the military, but in fact, it is chaotic and coaxy, without any rules.
Huang Taiji is willing to wait a little longer, but also to let the people who are used to being free and loose begin to know what the rules are.
Thirdly, the thunder method will also cause great damage to the tribes led by Amin and Mang Gutai, so as to deviate from morality, which is not only not conducive to future rule, but also will weaken the national power in the long internal friction like the Ming court.
Therefore, Huang Taiji was meticulous and fully demonstrated his far-sighted layout ability, and in the way of boiling frogs in warm water, he either dug pits, or lured, or dug pits, or made bitter tricks, or wrote blank checks.
In short, it is to win the support of the great Bel Ashan and the three Dorgon brothers to complete the layout.
