"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry. The eldest prince is still young. As long as he teaches carefully, he will naturally understand the truth in the future." Fan Wencheng quickly comforted him.

"If this is the case, that's the best." Huang Taiji nodded, but there was no joy on his face. The so-called "knowing son is better than father". He naturally understood what his son was. If it weren't for the other sons who were still young, Huang Taiji would have abandoned Haoge long ago and looked for another heir.

"Emperor, Li Xin is treacherous, the eldest prince is extremely honest and loyal, and with the Fourteen Belords by his side, the emperor should have made plans early!" Fan Wencheng advised at the end.

"No need." Huang Taiji shook his head and said, "Is the captured ginseng general Jiang Xin still there?"

"According to the emperor's instructions, we are just here to receive him." Fan Wencheng said with a smile.

"Aren't Zu Dashou afraid that we like to kill these Han people? Let Jiang Xin go over and let Jiang Xin persuade him to surrender." Huang Taiji said with a smile: "Let him go back and tell Zu Dashou, saying that as long as he surrenders to my Qing Dynasty, I will grant him the King of Guihua and take charge of Liaodong. Everything about his ancestors in Liaodong is still the same as before. I and my descendants will not touch his ancestors at all."

"The Emperor's Holy Spirit." Fan Wencheng couldn't help but be shocked by Huang Taiji's great work, and felt sincerely admired. Huang Taiji's broad mind was unimaginable. He immediately exclaimed: "The emperor's move is exactly what the emperor wants to live a long life. These Ming dynasty generals have no intention of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country at this moment. Even what they think now is just to ensure their own interests."

"Yes. Emperor Chongzhen is the only one who sits in the city of slaughter. Isn't this the case? He doesn't have any troops in his hands and has no control over the leading generals in various places." Huang Taiji said disdainfully: "I remember that Zu Dashou led the army to force the palace. According to the truth, this was a serious crime of raiding the house and exterminated the clan, but in the end, it was not that Zu Dashou was the general and led the army to Liaodong. In fact, Zu Dashou was the king of Liaodong, and Chongzhen's son could no longer control it."

"The Guanning Iron Cavalry was cultivated by the Ming Dynasty for a lot of money, but in the end it became Zu Dashou's private army. I have to say that this is the tragic thing about Chongzhen's children. So, as for persuading Zu Dashou to surrender, the emperor could let Zu Dashou deal with Li Xin or other Han troops." Fan Wencheng suggested on the side.

"What Mr. said is very much." Huang Taiji thought for a while and nodded, saying, "Since that's the case, Mr. Jiang Xin can persuade him to surrender. Hehe, then Sun Chengzong has not lost confidence in Zu Dashou yet. According to the news from the inside, he sent someone to rescue him. What a pity! Such rescue is simply sending slaves to our Qing Dynasty."

"The emperor is wise and far-sighted, so that today's Qing Dynasty will be able to be today." Fan Wencheng said respectfully: "I will let Jiang Xin go over and persuade Zu Dashou to surrender."

"Well, I hope that Zu Dashou understands the truth, otherwise, I may not be able to keep Zu Dashou anymore." Huang Taiji thought for a while and said, "As for Haoge, you can tell him that he can just keep the main exit. Even if Li Xin sends troops to the army, how many times can those paths appear? After Zu Dashou is solved, we will go back to the court. Humph, as for Dalinghe City, it will burn him. In the future, I will burn him a few times. I will burn it a few times, so the Ming Dynasty has no ability to build it. Alas, the Ming Dynasty is too large and has a large population. It is probably not possible to pacify the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop. Only by constantly eroding its foundation can we finally destroy the opponent with a thunder blow."

"I'll arrange for Jiang Xin to surrender now." Fan Wencheng did not dare to neglect, so he quickly retreated slowly. After leaving the tent, he sighed softly. Huang Taiji did not like Haoge on the surface, but in fact, he was still full of hope for Haoge, hoping that Haoge could inherit his concept of governing the country. Fan Wencheng shook his head in his heart. Haoge is Haoge, and his concept of life cannot be changed. Discriminating against the Han people is the nature of the entire Manchus. If so, even if the Central Plains are unified in the future, it will not be a blessing for the world. What's more, it is difficult to unify the Central Plains just like this.

"Master, there is a man outside who claims to be Jiang Xin who asks for a military visit." Half an hour later, in the Dalinghe City Commander's Mansion, Zu Dashou's eyes were deep, and there was a bowl of rice soup in front of him, saying it was rice soup, but in fact it was just a bowl of white water. A few grains of rice were settled at the bottom of the bowl, and a few drops of oil flowers and wild vegetables were floating on it. This was because Zu Dashou was the commander, so he was treated like this. Others didn't even have this oil flowers.

"Jiang Xin? He is not dead? How did he pass through the siege of Jiannu?" Zu Dashou's face was stunned, looking at his son in front of him, and finally nodded. Jiang Xin was captured by Jiannu. The court thought he was dead, so he not only pursued the title, but also granted his son. Now this person is alive again and has come out of the Jiannu camp. The meaning of this is self-evident. Jiang Xin has surrendered to Jiannu. It is just surprising that Jiannu actually saved his life.

"Master-in-law, do you want to invite him in?" Zu Zerun said carefully.

"No." At this time, a loud shout came, but He Kegang broke in and said loudly: "How can such a person who betrayed his ancestors let him in? It would be better to order people to shoot arrows and shoot him to death." He Kegang's face was thin, but although his eyes were deep, his angry flames flashed, which made Zu Dashou's heart move.

"General He, the so-called two countries are intersecting, and the envoy is here to not behead him!" Zu Zerun was not happy, but he was not easy to offend He Kegang, so he could only defend himself.

"How can Jiang Xin be called an envoy if he betrays his ancestors?" He Kegang sneered: "You can be killed to conduct a demonstration to enhance our military and civilians' courage. Humph, Major General Zu, are you so anxious to see Jiang Xin? Are you also thinking of surrendering to Jiannu?"

"You, you're talking nonsense." Zu Zerun pointed at He Kegang and cursed.

"Okay, if you don't see me, you won't see me." Zu Dashou waved his hand and said, "Jiang Xin has some friendship with me. I will not kill him. Let him go! My Zu Dashousheng is a Ming Dynasty person, and dies as a Ming Dynasty ghost. If I want my general to surrender, don't even think about it. Brother He, the imperial court sent reinforcements the last time, I believe that the court has not given up on us yet, so we must persevere and wait until the imperial army comes."

"Don't worry, General, the last general will be careful in defending and will not give Jiannu any chance." He Kegang's voice was like thunder and bowed and said loudly. As long as the main general firmly believes in defending, Dalinghe City will definitely be able to defend.

Looking at the backs of He Kegang and others, Zu Zerun said dissatisfiedly: "Father, what kind of person is Jiang Xin? He has nothing to do if he surrenders, let alone father and commander."

"My Zu Dashou killed so many Jiannu. If I surrendered, how could they let me go?" Zu Dashou said dissatisfiedly.

"Father, Jiang Xin told me that as long as the father is surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing emperor will grant Father the ruler the king. Everything about my ancestors in Liaodong will not be affected, but will get more." Zu Zerun glanced around and saw that there was no one around, and said carefully in Zu Dashou's ear.

"Don't mention this matter for the time being. The court will not let me down, and I will not let the court down." Zu Dashou refused without thinking: "If I surrendered to Jiannu at this moment, how would I write me in history books in the future? Since Shi Zhigong to the present, there have been no one in my family who betrayed the Han people? You asked me to surrender, have you ever thought about how to meet my ancestors after death?"

"The child is stupid." Zu Zerun lowered his head and pleaded guilty when he heard this.

"Hey!" Zu Dashou glanced at Zu Zerun and said, "What's more, the court may not lose at this moment. Not to mention that there are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Sun Chengzong, even Jiannu's troops have not been pressing on my Dalinghe City recently. Otherwise, even if the soldiers from Jinzhou came at this time, he, Hong Tai, could easily tear the defense of my Dalinghe City."

"Master-in-chief said that Jiannu's troops are being used by him at this moment?" Zu Zerun's eyes opened and looked at Zu Dashou.

"Although it's not far away, it's not far away! I didn't expect that over the years, my Zu Dashou has known countless people, and at this time I underestimated others." Zu Dashou sighed and said, "A Li Xin is so powerful that he can hold some of the Jiannu's troops."

"What is Father-Mr. Is Li Xin talking about? He has such great ability?" Zu Zerun shouted in surprise.

"Who is it not him?" Zu Dashou's noodles were bitter. If he had known that Li Xin was so powerful, he would not have let him go. Staying in Dalinghe City might not have to wait for others to rescue him, and he would have rushed out. Unfortunately, such an opportunity would never appear again. Perhaps in the end, Li Xin would need to rescue him!

"It's really unbelievable that a little prisoner has such ability!" Zu Zerun said with his head down, but gritted his teeth. Anger appeared in his eyes. He was full of hatred for Li Xin at this moment. Just now, Jiang Xin passed on Huang Taiji's imperial edict. As long as Zu Dashou surrendered, he could be appointed Zu Zerun as the third-class son, as the right-level political sect of the Ministry of War, and let him join the Han army's Zhenghuang Banner. But such benefits, under the influence of Li Xin, everything disappeared without a trace. It's this.

Li Xin blocked his way to advance, and saw the glory and wealth slipping between his fingers, how could Zu Zerun stand it? However, he understood that as long as Zu Dashou did not agree to surrender, the entire Dalinghe City would not surrender. As Fan Wencheng said, this Guanning Army looked like the military force of the court, but in fact it was the military force of the Zu family. This powerful military force was in the hands of Zu Dashou. If Zu Dashou did not surrender for a day, the Guanning Army would not surrender.

"By the way, you must be careful at your south gate. The reinforcements from the court have appeared once, and there will definitely be reinforcements from the court in the future. As long as reinforcements appear, you will notify me immediately. I can rectify the army and fight out together. Join forces inside and outside to defeat Jiannu." Zu Dashou reminded.

"Yes, father-in-chief." Zu Zerun's expression moved when he heard this, and he immediately had some conspiracy in his heart, and he gently retreated.

"The father is pedantic. What kind of court is the current court? The treacherous ministers in the court are in power, and those civil officials regard us military generals as ordinary men and bully them wantonly. Such a court is really disappointing." On the south gate of Dalinghe City, Zu Zerun invited several brothers, such as Zu Zepu, Zu Zehong, Zu Kefa, Zu Zeyuan and others. These people are either Zu Dashou's sons, adopted sons, or servants of the Zu family. In fact, in this era, the Ming Dynasty's garrison system had long been abandoned. The people who could really fight were not the officers and soldiers, but the servants of the generals. These servants were well equipped and provided with sufficient supplies. These generals were empty wages,

Drinking soldiers' blood and using this money to train their servants, these people can see clearly that although they are the officials, even if they serve the country with loyalty and train elite soldiers, what can they do? These soldiers are not their own, but the court. Once a court edict comes, these elite soldiers do not belong to them and make wedding dresses for others. However, the servants are different. No matter how you go to an official, these are always with you. This is an unchanging fact. Moreover, these servants are more loyal to themselves than those soldiers. Since this is the case, why bother to train soldiers! It is better to train your servants.

In Liaodong, the Guanning Iron Cavalry was actually a servant of the Zu family. This was just like Wu Sangui in history. With a command, the entire Shanhaiguan became a Qing Dynasty item, because the Guanning Iron Cavalry had become someone else's private soldier, and the court had no binding force at all.

"So what can I do? Can't surrender to Jiannu? Jiannu killed someone without blinking. I didn't expect to die at the hands of Jiannu inexplicably." Zu Zehong shook his head and said.

"Brothers, do you know who I saw just now?" Zu Zerun asked with his eyes swinging, glanced at everyone.

"Who?" Zu Kefa said in surprise.

"Jiang Xin, Jiang Xin, came from there." Zu Zerun pointed to the city and said, "He was captured by Jiannu, but he was not killed. Instead, he has become an envoy to persuade his father to surrender. Hehe, it seems that Jiannu will kill him as soon as he sees the Han people. This matter is probably inappropriate! According to Jiang Xin's news, Jiannu Hong Tai said that as long as the father and the commander abandon the darkness and turn to the light, he will be appointed as the commander. Everything about my ancestors in Liaodong will not change. Brothers cannot escape this reward."

"Even if that's the case, I'm afraid the military will not agree!" Zu Zeyuan said lightly.

"The father-in-chief is still thinking that the court will send troops to rescue him!" Zu Zerun said disdainfully: "How many soldiers and horses are there in Liaodong now, let alone these soldiers and horses must be no match for Jiannu. Even if they come, they will only disappoint us."

"Hey! If you really don't come, it's the court that has abandoned us. Then I'll just make a fuss." Zu Zehong's eyes turned, he glanced at everyone and said.

"That's all." Zu Zerun nodded, and a hint of pride appeared on his face.
