One hundred and five times
In the early morning of the fourth day of the 12th month, He Kegang brought seven or eight hundred officers and soldiers of the headquarters to hide in the road ahead quietly, blocking Zu Dashou's way back to the east. At the same time, a major battle was planned in the tent of the Jin Khan Huang Taiji, a large tent of the Jin Khan Huang Taiji, who was stationed in the Later Jin soldiers. The knights harassed Minglei for one day in the day, returned to the camp, and ate the food, pigs and chickens stolen from all over the countryside, falling down to rest. The torches in Huang Taiji's main tent were bright, illuminating like daytime. Manchu and Han generals were lined up on both sides, looking at their khan quietly.
Huang Taiji leisurely placed one hand on the armrest of the mahogany chair, gently slashing it, and the knuckles touched the hard mahogany, making a pleasant sound. He was originally like his subordinates and generals, sitting on the grass sill, but this mahogany Taishi chair was brought to him when his subordinates swept a farm. Sitting on the chair, I couldn't help but feel afraid of being comfortable. The emperors and officials of the Ming Dynasty made him go straight to the capital because their lives were too comfortable. The trajectory of the car ahead must be taken away! But sitting on this chair made him feel condescending when looking down at his ministers. This is the difference between the Khan and the Emperor!
Shaking his head, Huang Taiji retracted his thoughts. He knew that if he continued to think about it, he would definitely move to the matter of discussing the government. That was the first major event that caused him a headache besides Yuan Manzi. Now it was not advisable to think about it too much. He stood up with his hands behind his back, and Huang Taiji's majestic voice began to echo in the tent: "We have been entering the Ming realm for more than a month. Although the troops are forcing Mingjing now, it is not easy to capture the capital. I know that you are all red blood men of the Jurchens, but we are fighting every day, and the Ming army just can't stand it. What should we do?"
Although he was asking the generals "what should be done", his face was a confident expression. Ning Wan, I could see clearly, and I had already thought about it. I turned my head and looked at Dahai. Seeing him nodding slightly, I bowed to the list. Just as I was about to speak, I blocked the loud voice of Manguertai: "What's this? The Ming pig is like a mustard ear, why should I be so worried about sweating! Tomorrow I will take 10,000 elite soldiers, personally break the city of Beijing, catch the Ming pig, and give the big pig a big shot.
Khan made a little New Year's Etiquette!" The New Year is one of the most grand festivals of the Jurchens. The tribes often celebrate together and the whole family is happy. It is already the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year is about to be celebrated in 20 or 30 days. Although the Jurchens were brave and warlike, they also wanted to reunite with their families. Regardless of the officers and soldiers in the army, they all hoped to capture Mingjing as soon as possible and return. Therefore, when they heard such bold words as Manguertai, most of the generals agreed, and for a moment, there were passionate calls for battle in the tent.
Among the excitement of the crowd, there were only three people who remained silent. One was Dahai, the other was Ning Wan, and the other was Huang Jie. Huang Taiji looked at him one by one, waved his hand and told everyone to be quiet. Looking at Ning Wan, I said, "Ning Wan, what do you want to say, then I will say it." Ning Wan, I beat him a thousand times and bowed his head and said, "It's not too late to say it after I have little humble opinion. Now I want to ask Da Khan to listen to the other person's words." Huang Taiji laughed and asked, "Who?" Ning Wan, I am the person recommended by Fan Wencheng himself. The so-called love for the house and the Wu, Da Khan was always a little polite to this Han slave.
Ning Wan, I called another thousand and pointed at Huang Jie and said, "That's this person." When Huang Jie heard this, he hurried over to salute. Since he voted for the Later Jin Dynasty, he has been following Ning Wan and being a little clerk without any rank. This time, Huang Taiji's great congregation general had no share, so Ning Wan, I brought him here for some reason.
Huang Taiji sat down again without any surprise and said lightly: "Oh? I remember you were not the Han man who came to join the day before yesterday? What do you have to say?" Huang Jie suppressed his heartbeat and kowtowed, "The villain Meng Dahan refused to abandon him and took him in. Lord Ning treats his parents as his parents, and always thinks about retribution..." Huang Taiji became impatient and waved his hand and said: "You wise people always speak so much." Huang Jie kowtowed again and said: "It's time to calm down and say: "The villain has received the teachings of Lord Ning, but he also has some thoughts about the situation in front of him." After looking at Ning, I followed and continued: "The villain thought that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack in the capital, so it is better to abandon him and go south."
As soon as this statement was spoken, it immediately attracted a lot of discussion. Mangortai shouted, "You cowardly pig! What kind of strong cities can't be attacked by our young master warriors?" He said that, and pulled out his waist knife and came to kill Huang Jie.
Huang Taiji shouted angrily: "Rareless!" Mangguertai was stunned, his hand holding the knife was hanging in the air, his face flushed. He did not expect that Dahan would actually scold him like this for a mere Han scholar. Where did he wave his face? He was stunned for a moment, screamed, waved his arm hard, inserted his waist knife into the ground, and left with great strides.
Huang Taiji smiled slightly, ignored him, and asked himself Huang Jie, "How can you see it? Get up and talk in detail." Huang Jie bowed and then stood up, saying, "The Khan used a counter-attack to deceive the emperor a few days ago, and it is now possible. However, although the emperor was trapped, he may not have no nostalgia for Yuan Chonghuan. Besides, the court is full of talents, but it is hard to say whether anyone could see through the Khan's plan." When he said this, he looked at Huang Taiji's expression and saw that he was not displeased, so he continued: "The villain thought that the Khan might as well burn a fire at this time and confirmed Yuan Chonghuan's charge, so that the Emperor would not dare to use it again."
Huang Taiji smiled more and more, and nodded, "No, but how can this fire be burned? Can the generals have good plans?" He asked everyone this question, but no one answered. When things got to this point, even the blind man could see that these two Han people must have been instructed by the Khan, and they played a double act in front of everyone. Whoever is ignorant and makes things difficult for Huang Jie, wouldn't it be like making things difficult for Dahan? Seeing that everyone was not talking, Huang Taiji smiled and said, "You don't say it, I will say it myself."
He turned around and pointed to the large map of the capital hanging behind him, saying, "This fire is not burned under the capital, but it is going to burn here." As he said that, his fingers drew a semicircle in Daxing, Wanping and Liangxiang areas south of Beijing.
The generals looked at each other, all puzzled. Dahai applauded and said, "The Khan's plan is amazing! If you run south from the capital, you can avoid the reinforcements. Second, you will have to take out all the grass and valleys around the capital, so you must not find food and fodder. Third, you can even make the Emperor Ming think that our army has lost Yuan Chonghuan, the internal supporter, so you dare not attack the city. Ming Emperor suspected that the sick criminals would be punished and would not be used again. At that time, our army would return to the capital, and who else could defeat the enemy? One stone was amazing, wonderful!"
Huang Taiji laughed and said, "That's right. Come on, order the three armies to start the camp immediately, first attack Gaolizhuang in the southeast, and then run around the westward Daxing!" Everyone took the order and left, only Ning Wan and Huang Jie were left. Ning Wan, I pointed at Huang Jie and said, "Khan, I think this person is really a talent. Although he has not participated in our layout, he can do it at all. The plan to withdraw troops and leave the capital was also proposed. It is a pity to be a clerk with this person's talent. I am willing to use his official position to make it happen to the great knight." Huang Taiji laughed and said, "Why do you have to do this? Your list is not easy, and it was Mr. Fan who asked you for your hard work. If you throw it away so for nothing, what face will you use to see him in the future?" Ning Wan said, "Choose virtuous and capable is the duty of the minister. Why dare to care about gains and losses and miss the national affairs." Huang Taiji laughed and said, "Then why should you? Your list is not easy, and it was Mr. Fan who asked you for it. If you throw it away so for nothing, what face will you use to see him in the future?" Ning Wan said, "Choose virtuous and capable is the duty of the minister. How dare you care about gains and losses and miss the major affairs of the country." Huang Taiji He patted his shoulder and said, "As you entered Zhiwenguan, you are my think tank. This position is not your own, so how can you give in easily?" After thinking about it, he said, "Since you are strongly recommending him, I will be a preparatory emperor under Bao Chengxian." (The Eight Banners of the Jurchens implements third-level management, two hundred dens are one Niulu, one Niulu, five Niulu, one Jialu, one Jialu, one Jialu, one Jialu, one Qilu, one Qilu, one Qilu, one Qilu, one Qilu, one Qilu, one Qilu, one Qilu, one Qilu, one Qilu, one Qilu, one Qilu, one Qilu, one Qilu. Shan Ezhen and the second member Meile Ezhen. The fifth year of Tianming is the fifth year of Tianming. Niu Lu Ezhen is called Beiyu, and he is a military officer who is even lower than the third-class guerrilla.) Bao Chengxian is also a Han Chinese, and he personally recommended him when Ning Wan entered the court. Now the Khan asked Huang Jie to serve under Bao Chengxian's subordinates. It was clearly a great favor to him, and he seemed to be broad-minded and not afraid of forming a party to the Han people. Ning Wan was excited and opened his mouth and couldn't speak.
Huang Jie quickly knelt down and thanked him. Suddenly, Manguertai yelled and broke in, saying that he would not withdraw with the army no matter what. Huang Taiji frowned slightly and said coldly: "So what do you want?" Manguertai straightened his waist and shouted: "I have tens of thousands of warriors in this flag, enough to wipe out Beijing and capture Minghuang alive. At that time, who has a dull face!" Huang Taiji snorted and said, "Did you come by yourself, or are you inciting someone?"
Manguertai's face turned red, Huang Taiji's words did touch his vitals. I just heard that the army was heading southeast. Although Manguertai was reluctant, he did not have the idea of leaving a lonely soldier. What really prompted him to challenge Huang Taiji was the words of his fourteenth brother Dorgon. Speaking of which Dorgon did not instigate him to divide his troops to attack the capital, but just talked about how the guards of Mingjing were pussy and how the city of Beijing was vulnerable. After Yuan Manzi left, the emperor would not be able to fight rashly, etc., and so on. Hearing Manguertai was moved: Now that he is besieged for a month but cannot go down, it is all because of Yuan Manzi's strategy of defending the Khan. If it is as Dorgon said, Yuan Manzi killed the Khan's counter-espionage plan, the emperor sent troops out of the city, and the two armies fought on the plains, wouldn't it be as easy as cutting a knife to tofu?
Huang Taiji did not dare to attack the city and turn his troops south, but Beijing City broke it for himself. If this happens, then Huang Taiji's Khan position would not be so steady. But how credible is Dorgon's words? Can Beijing City really be broken? Mangguertai was not completely confident. Although this fourteenth brother, although he is also the lord of the banner, he is always very respectful to Huang Taiji. Last year, he went to Chahar, made great contributions, and got the title of Melgen Daiqing. Sometimes Manguertai even felt that among the dozen brothers, the most capable one was not the current Khan Huang Taiji, nor was he himself, and not the elder brother Daishan, who was like a good man, but Dorgon, the lord of Zhengbai Banner who won the title of smart king at 18 years old.
