Chapter Forty-Eight: Dolgon's Mission

With the full cooperation of the Ming army, the remnants of the Karaqin Department naturally could not set off a bigger storm.

Only a few lucky routs broke out of the Ming army's blockade line.

Ten years later, Huang Taiji, who was resting on the bank of the Liao River, learned of the incident.

After the annexation of the Horqin Tribe, Huang Taiji filled his population into the banners.

Of course, his priority is to strengthen the power of the two yellow flags in his hands.

Originally, one banner had about thirty Niulu (three hundred men) of troops.

Huang Taiji gave each banner an equal distribution of five Niu Lu, and asked each Niu Lu to draw out twenty white armor soldiers and hand them over to be used as a striker.

Since then, Huang Taiji has borrowed the stage to sing, and he has an additional forward battalion under him, and more than a dozen Niu Lu than others, that is, half a flag of troops.

Therefore, although he was forced to leave the customs in the end, the prestige of Huangtaiji at this time can be said to be more than the same period in history.

Although the strength of his command has also been strengthened, seeing Huang Taiji gradually break free from the four Baylor systems, Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai are of course a little unhappy in their hearts.

So they each took the Zhenghong Banner and Zhenglan Banner under their command, found a reason, and left Huang Taiji to return to Liaodong.

At this moment, Huang Taiji was surrounded by several little Baylors, namely his own son Hauge, the three brothers of the two hundred banners of Azig, Dordor, and Dolgon, as well as the banner owner Zilharang with the blue flag.

After Amin was deposed, the blue flag was given by Huang Taiji to Zilharang, who was also a descendant of Shulhaqi.

Among the people, Azig was the most anxious, "Great Khan, the Ming army dared to invade my subordinate department, if you don't attack it head-on, I'm afraid Mo Nan will no longer be mine." ”

"If the Great Khan can give me two more white flags, 10,000 soldiers and horses, and ten cannons. I, Azig, will be able to conquer Yingchang and slaughter the Ming army within ten months! ”

Huang Taiji listened, did not approve or object. Turning to Dodor asked

"Duoduo, you are the Lord of the White Flag, what do you think?"

Duoduo glanced at Azig and said, "Sibeile, our army has been continuously transferred to the Guannei, and the Korqin Department has recently been destroyed, should we take a slowdown?" ”

When Azig heard that Dordor was against him, he turned pale and was about to attack.

I only heard that Zilharang, Hauge and others also agreed with Duoduo, "This is extremely true, Korqin and we are in-laws, but now we have a grudge against the clan. Although the general has been killed, the hearts of the people have not been attached, and it is not appropriate to send out another army at this time. ”

Azig disagreed with him, and laughed angrily, "What do you know who hasn't been through the scene? Back then, when I went to Chahar and Khalkha with Dabeile and Sanbeile, which time was not a thousand miles of despair, and the old man was tired? ”

"We can lay the foundation of today's state, relying on this momentum. Wait a minute today, slow down tomorrow, and the Ming Army should plant the flag outside Hetuala! ”

Azig is the oldest, although he shares the white flag with Dolgon, and his strength is not as good as the few little Baylors present, but after all, he is still powerful, and no one dares to squeak for a while.

The reason why Dordor disagreed with him was that Azig was accustomed to incorporating both white flags into his command.

As Dordor grew up, he became dissatisfied with his brother's domineering attitude.

Just as the atmosphere stiffened, Dorgon spoke, "I agree with Brother Twelve. Since the founding of Hetuala, I have led the Jurchen tribes by constantly expanding and using the land and gold and silver to strengthen the hearts of the people, rather than waiting. ”

"The Ming Dynasty marched into Yingchang, not only for the Karaqin Department, but also for the Gongwei Xuanda, and Liaozhen became a horn."

"Let the Ming Dynasty gain a firm foothold in Monan, and it will not be so easy for us to enter the customs along the grassland as before, and it is easy for the Ming army outside the pass to hear the wind and grass here."

Seeing Huang Taiji frowning and Azig showing his face, Dolgon asked again, "It's just that if we want to destroy Yingchang, is there only one way for us to send troops to Jianzhou?" ”

Huang Taiji glanced at Dolgon, "Fourteenth brother, do you have any ideas, but it doesn't hurt to say it, why sell Guanzi?" ”

Dolgon continued, "The Han people have a strategy called killing people with a sword. ”

"Lin Dan Khan of the Golden Family was originally supposed to be the co-ruler of Monan, but it was only his own tyranny and unreasonableness that he made Horqin and Karaqin and other troops fall to us."

"Although he has a grudge against Karaqin, but after all, it was his old department that was destroyed, didn't Lin Dan Khan have any thoughts in his heart? If we send someone to persuade him to send troops, even if we can't pull out Ying Chang, we can greatly delay the Ming army's management of the local area. ”

"When both sides are defeated, my Jianzhou just sends troops in one fell swoop, and it can kill two birds with one stone!"

Hearing Dolgon's words, Huang Taiji was a little moved.

After all, he is now powerless, and the reason why he does not agree to Azig to go on the expedition is to suppress him on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is afraid that the Eight Banners will really be damaged.

However, what Dorgon says is not so easy to achieve.

Haoge asked what Huang Taiji was thinking at this time: "Fourteenth uncle, the old Khan King personally beheaded Lin Dan Khan's envoy back then, and Lin Dan Khan was afraid of my Jianzhou Huwei, so he decided to move west. ”

"If you go to touch his head now, I'm afraid you're not seeking skin with the tiger?"

Dorgon smiled, "Since I brought this up, I have my own idea. ”

"I am willing to go to Kuku and Tun in person to settle this matter for the Great Khan!"

A few months later, Kuku and Tun, outside the city of Hohhot today.

This was originally the main city established by the Tumut Department, and the whole body was built of green bricks, so it was also called Qingcheng.

After Lin Dan Khan moved westward, he defeated the right-wing tribes of Mongol in southern Mongolia one by one, and the Tumut department was also included in his pocket, so he chose Kuku and Tun as the capital of his "Great Yuan".

Dorgon sat on horseback, silently observing the surrounding mountains and rivers.

I saw this Qingcheng pillow Yin Mountain in the north, the Yellow River in the south, the Hetao in the west, and the grassland in the east. And it is surrounded by rich black soil.

This couldn't help but make Dolgon's gaze become greedy, if I Jianzhou occupied this place and threatened the belly of the Ming Kingdom, then Yuan Heizi's so-called Guanning defense line would also be useless!

At this time, the Jurchen envoys who had gone to report came with the Mongolian nobles who had come to receive them.

Dorgon hurriedly gathered his countenance and coped carefully.

When he arrived at the palace of Lin Dan Khan, Dolgon only saw a white beaded curtain, but did not see the real person.

I just wanted to go inside, but was stopped by the royal court guards.

It's to give me a dismount. Dolgon knew that Lin Dan Khan was extremely angry, and he still couldn't let go of the revenge that the envoy was killed.

So he looked calm and shouted, "Lin Dan Khan of the Golden Family, I am Dolgon, the son of Nurhachi, the founder of the new country, and I am here to send an envoy by the order of Tiancong Khan of the new country. ”

No one responded in the middle of the ring, and Dolgon shouted again, "Lin Dan Khan, I know that you intend to unify Mongolia, but now the Ming soldiers are outside the fortress, and they also enslave the Horqin and Karaqin people, although I Jianzhou is far away from Liaodong, I really can't stand it!" ”

"Now the tribes of the Horqin grassland, forced by the brutality of the Ming Kingdom, have fled to the new country I love."

Seeing that there was still no response, Dorgon said to himself.

"Lin Dan Khan, if you sit idly by, I'm afraid that not only the Tumuts and Khalkha Khan, but also the Chahar headquarters will be disappointed in you."

Dolgon, who always seemed to be talking to the air, gritted his teeth, "Lin Dan Khan, if you are so wooden-hearted, we love the new country, and we can't say that we will uphold justice for all the tribes of the grassland and expel the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Just when Dorgon was a little worried that he had angered Lin Dan Khan too much, he heard such a sentence coming from the bead curtain.

"It doesn't matter, I'll do it."
