Chapter 63 Huang Taiji's Mind
"Li Xin is a military genius. In fact, even if we have Hai Dongqing in our hands, we may not be his opponent." Duoduo said softly at last.
"Our troops cannot be lost anymore." Dorgon said softly: "For a long time, the fourth brother of the emperor has sent me to war. On the surface, I am deeply trusted by the fourth brother of the emperor, but in fact, you know the situation here. My Zhengbaiqi follows me and Dorgon and is invincible. I have gained a lot, but I also have a lot of losses. Especially when I met Li Xin this time, I lost more. If I continue like this, my Zhengbaiqi might perish in the hands of Li Xin. Do you think the fourth brother of the emperor will let me continue to take charge of the Zhengbaiqi?"
"If you lose your military power, you and my brothers may not even have a chance to gain a foothold in the court." Duoduo nodded and said viciously: "He knew that Li Xin was difficult to deal with, so he deliberately asked us to deal with Li Xin. He led the army to take charge of the central army and dealt with Zu Dashou. Zu Dashou was just a bird in a cage and had no chance to resist. Even if the Ming army came, what could it be? He could not do anything to our army at all."
"He is the emperor, and even if we are dissatisfied, there is no way." Dorgon shook his head and said, "No matter what, our army cannot suffer any losses anymore. You can send orders to give up some camps at night, and even if you shrink into one camp, it doesn't matter."
"I'm afraid Haug will find out." Duoduo said with some concern.
"So what if I find it?" Dorgon said disdainfully: "This western mountain is so big, not every small road we can be prepared for. Who knows which road Li Xin came from? Even if he breaks through the camp, he has nothing to do with us. The more he dies in the Lan Banner, the better."
"I really don't know that the fourth brother has not made any decision yet." Duoduo looked into the distance, where the Jiannu Central Army's tent was located. It seemed that he could see Huang Taiji walking back and forth at the moment, and a hint of pride suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. This time, the two of his brothers decided to dig a big hole and let his good nephew get in.
At this moment, Huang Taiji, who was in the Jiannu Central Army tent, was not as unbearable as Duoduo thought. Instead, he was looking at the book calmly. Fan Wencheng on one side showed a hint of worry on his face. He was holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, which recorded everything in Dorgon's camp these days. Even everything that happened just now was listed on it.
"Your Majesty, do you really ignore the eldest prince?" Fan Wencheng asked nervously.
"How to manage?" Huang Taiji said with a smile: "How do you ask me to remind him to respond to changes in the same way as he is unchanged. Let him be careful about Dorgon? Haoge is not small anymore. According to your Han people's view, my country will be passed on to Haoge in the future. If Haoge himself is not capable, how can he inherit my country? Although Li Xin is quite powerful, if he wants to be the king of a country, the things he faces are probably much more complicated than a small Li Xin. How can he not even deal with a Li Xin? What qualifications are there to inherit my country?"
"Although Your Majesty's words are very wise, Li Xin is Li Xin after all. If there is only one Li Xin, it would be fine, but there is also a fourteenth beller. The fourteenth beller has some opinions about the eldest prince, and the servant is worried that the fourteenth beller will not only not help the eldest prince, but will instead constrain the eldest prince. What should we do?" Fan Wencheng said carefully.
"You servant is very brave." Huang Taiji put down the book in his hand, pointed at Fan Wencheng and said with a smile: "I heard that the sir and the eldest prince are not in harmony, so Haoge has seriously injured the sir many times. Why should the sir worry about the sir today?"
"The eldest prince inherits the emperor's territory in the future. Although the eldest prince has some prejudice against slaves, the eldest prince is also the master. Slaves are slaves. How can a slave fight against his master? Even if the master takes the life of a slave, the slave is willing." Fan Wencheng said quickly.
"It is really my blessing to be able to get help from Mr. Huang." Huang Taiji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and a hint of excitement flashed across his face. Finally, he sighed: "Haoge is strong by nature, but he is not very broad-minded. I am also worried, so I want him to practice more and become a talent as soon as possible, so that he will not have a qualified heir after my death."
"The emperor is prosperous and prosperous, and he will live a hundred years of life." Fan Wencheng quickly knelt on the ground and stopped him, "Now the army is heading south and is in front of the formation. How can the emperor easily say life and death? I'm asking the emperor to take back this sentence."
"Haha, this is exactly what sir said. I have lost my words, I have lost my words." Although Huang Taiji felt that Fan Wencheng was a little pedantic, he thought that this was also a manifestation of Fan Wencheng's loyalty to him, so he naturally didn't care.
"Emperor, Li Xin doesn't know how to deal with this? This person is too hateful. The emperor doesn't want to care about him. Instead, he is getting more and more aggressive. Emperor, why not send a large army to conquer Li Xin? I think that at this time, Zu Dashou will not have any movement. He did not break through the emperor's heavy defense at this time." Fan Wencheng looked at the letter in front of him and said with a slight dissatisfaction.
"Li Xin is just a clown-like figure. I need to take action when dealing with Li Xin. Mr. Li Xin is the best general. "Huang Taiji waved his hand with a smile and said, "I have only one enemy, that is, the son of Chongzhen. According to the news from the pass, Emperor Chongzhen has ordered people to escort food and grass outside the pass, which means that Sun Chengzong and others in Jinzhou are about to lead the army to save Zu Dashou."
"Oh!" Fan Wencheng's eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "Now, the emperor can kill Sun Chengzong and drive the Ming army out of Liaodong in one go. The Qing Dynasty will be able to completely own the land of Liaodong, and it will be quite simple to advance to the Central Plains in the future."
"Yes!" Huang Taiji nodded and said, "If it were in Jinzhou, I would be afraid of Sun Chengzong's three-pointer. The red-clothed cannons on Jinzhou City are very powerful, far above our army, and the Ming army is good at defending the city. If we are in a tough city, even if we win in the end, we will suffer heavy losses. Now we use Dalinghe City as bait to attract the Ming army to rescue Dalinghe City. If we fight against it, we will definitely defeat the Ming army. We will destroy the last power of the Ming army in Liaodong in one fell swoop. I have been looking forward to this day for a long time."
"What should Li Xin do?" Fan Wencheng was still obsessed with Li Xin and wanted to kill Li Xin immediately.
"Of course someone has dealt with Li Xin." Huang Taiji thought for a while and said with a smile: "The order of the fourteenth Beile Dorgon to limit him to destroy Li Xin within ten days. If he can't destroy it, he can force him out of the west mountain."
"The fourteen Baylors will definitely choose the latter." Fan Wencheng's eyes rolled and he finally said.
"No matter which one you choose, Li Xin is not that easy to deal with." Huang Taiji smiled and took out a handwritten letter from his side and handed it to Fan Wencheng and said: "In fact, a Li Xin is no longer a matter of the overall situation. Li Xin is here, and it is not easy for us to deal with Dalinghe City, but if Dalinghe City is away, a mere Li Xin will be an irrelevant thing."
"Your Majesty, is this?" Fan Wencheng took the handwritten book and looked stunned, but he was soon overjoyed and said in dismay: "Has Dalinghe City surrendered?"
"No, it's not that Dalinghe City surrendered, but that Zu Zerun, the son of Zu Dashou, intends to surrender." Huang Taiji said with a smile: "According to what Zu Zerun said, Zu Dashou actually also intends to surrender, but he is a little afraid."
"Fear?" Fan Wencheng asked in surprise.
"He was afraid that I would kill Zu Dashou." Huang Taiji shook his head and said, "In recent years, Zu Dashou has been resisting my Qing Dynasty. I don't know how many children he has lost. In addition, in order to enter the Central Plains, I don't know how many Han people I killed, and it is not the first time that the city massacre happened. So he was afraid that after he surrendered to me, I will settle the score in the autumn and cause trouble for him."
"Emperor, I think that Zu Dashou is definitely not worried that the emperor will kill him, but that he is worried about his ancestor's family." Fan Wencheng said disdainfully: "He is worried that once he surrenders to the emperor, his ancestor's interests in Liaodong will not be guaranteed. Emperor, Zu's family is a great clan in Liaodong! On the surface, it is still the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, Zu Dashou can control everything here. He is worried that if he surrenders to His Majesty, everything from the Zu family will be confiscated, causing the Zu family to greatly reduce its power."
"It's actually the case?" Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng in surprise, but he never thought that there was such a thing here, which made him very disbelief.
"If he does not surrender, he can survive, then he is the King of Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor. Do you think he will surrender to you and give up his position as King of Liaodong?" Fan Wencheng said carelessly: "Once he surrenders to my Qing Dynasty, not only will his life be in the hands of the emperor, but everything else will be owned by the emperor. Emperor and Zu Dashou are worried that his interests will be damaged!"
"What's the difficulty?" Huang Taiji laughed and said, "If his ancestor Dashou was willing to surrender to my Qing Dynasty, I can not only spare his life and forgive his faults, but I can also make him king. As a king of different surnames in the Qing Dynasty, I will share the glory and wealth with me. Sir, what do you think?"
"The emperor has a broad mind and is as arrogant as a tiger, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. This move is even one ten thousandth of that of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Fan Wencheng did not expect that Huang Taiji would have such an arrangement to enthrone Zu Dashou as king. You must know that until now, Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he should be granted the princes Beile, including Jirgalang, Daishan, Dorgon, etc., and Haoge, as the eldest prince, should be granted the king. However, until now, there is no prince in the Qing Dynasty, even Daishan is only a bele. This time, Huang Taiji actually wanted to be granted the king for Zu Dashou, which shows that Huang Taiji was indeed not an ordinary person. He had a broad mind and could not do it even if Zhu Yuanzhang of the past.
"As long as we can help us unify the world, what is the throne? " Huang Taiji waved his hand carelessly and said. In fact, as the founding king, Huang Taiji was indeed not comparable to Emperor Chongzhen in terms of demeanor and mind, and even Zhu Yuanzhang could not compare with him. Zhu Yuanzhang had conferred his son as king. Even those meritorious officials also conferred Dukes or marquis, but in the end these people were killed by Zhu Yuanzhang for various reasons. As for Chongzhen, it was even more so. Not to mention being conferred as a king, he did not trust his ministers around him. However, Huang Taiji trusted Zu Dashou so much that he could be conferred as a king. Even Fan Wencheng could not help but be jealous.
"Actually, I really hope that the other person will surrender." Huang Taiji stood up, walked out of the tent, looked at the mountain in the distance, which was the direction of the west mountain. He only heard him say softly: "Although Zu Dashou is very good, it's a pity that he is just a powerful man. Some of his abilities can fight, which is not much helpful for the Qing Dynasty to unify the Central Plains. I think there are countless generals of the Qing Dynasty, and the warriors are even more chariots, but Li Xin! This person is a martial artsman, and he is extremely capable. If the Guanning Iron Cavalry is in the hands of Li Xin, I will withdraw my troops without hesitation. This person is a famous scholar in the Central Plains. If I can surrender to my Qing Dynasty, in the future, I will enter the Central Plains. If there are people like Li Xin, there will be more people coming to join us."
"The Emperor's Holy Spirit." Fan Wencheng also nodded.
"After the Golden Family entered the Central Plains, the national fortune was replaced by Zhu Yuanzhang for decades. The most fundamental thing is that he was established as a top of all races. He did not take Han people seriously at all. He bullied Han people everywhere. The Han people were naturally dissatisfied. In the end, the country was still in the hands of the Han people. This is the lesson. If the Qing Dynasty wanted to enter the Central Plains, it would not be like this. The Han people had thousands of years of culture, which is worth learning. I, the Manchu people, have only been for many years. Even Huangkao was once a general of the Ming Dynasty. If it weren't for such experience, Huangkao wouldn't have easily defeated the Ming army and established a foundation. This shows that the Han people have many things worth learning from. Only by studying the Han people seriously can we easily rule the Han people. This is why I value the Han people."
"The Han culture is vast and powerful, and the emperor can learn a lot from it." Fan Wencheng nodded, with a hint of compassion on his face.
"It's a pity that I understand these principles, but those people don't." Huang Taiji shook his head. He was the only one in the Qing Dynasty who liked to value Han people. If he hadn't had a high prestige and controlled the entire Qing Dynasty, he might have opposed Huang Taiji's use of Han people. However, there was no need for all this, because Huang Taiji had realized that it was correct to value Han people.
