Chapter 228

The next day, Man Gui and Mrs. Qin entered the palace together. Mrs. Qin reported to ask for battle, and Man Gui reported the plan jointly formulated by everyone last night.

Zhao Xing dispatched troops in the yamen, and the most important thing was to continue raising money and grain. Then he wrote a letter to Hong Chengchou, which was actually an order. He ordered five thousand cavalry and two hundred chariots to rise to Wuqing in the future. He promoted the troops to Nanyuan with great publicity, but they were absolutely not allowed to fight with the enemy. As long as they saw the enemy, they immediately fled away, and the further away the enemy who pursued them would be taken from Nanyuan, the better.

At the same time, he also wrote a letter to Sun Chengzong who was far away. Although the two had never met and had no intersection, Zhao Xing's letter was full of admiration and respect for the old seniors. Then he reported his plan in detail to Sun Chengzong and asked Sun Chengzong to cooperate on the outside.

After receiving this letter, Sun Chengzong, who was in charge of Tongzhou, said, "This son has made many achievements, but he is a capable minister. He can be regarded as a rising star in the Ming Dynasty. This plan is complete, feasible, and should be done. Since this is the case, I should cooperate with it." Then he ordered the commander: "Go and notify the general Yang Guodong to defend Tongzhou, Zu Dashou, Ma Shilong and reinforcements from all directions, recruit a large number of dead soldiers to guard the coastal guards directly to the capital, and act as much as possible to pretend to Jiannu in person."

After orders were issued one by one, the old subordinates of Sun Chengzong from all over the country took action and began to follow the orders of the old boss to make a feint to the Jiannu who was in front of him. It was a feint and there was no danger.

As soon as the Ming army in various places moved, Huang Taiji, who was stationed in Nanyuan to repair it, felt something was wrong.

Nanyuan is a place where emperors of all dynasties herding horses. There are abundant water and grass, puddles, and wild animals often appear. Such places directly solve the problem of cavalry and horses for fodder. Therefore, after Huang Taiji went to the capital, he withdrew the main force here and took turns to rest.

He was waiting for Chongzhen's reaction to his request.

In fact, according to Huang Taiji's current opinion, his requirements are definitely not excessive. The Ming Dynasty court and the Jurchens have been in war for more than ten years. Although the Jurchens are really getting stronger and stronger, the Ming Dynasty is getting weaker and weaker. However, if you say something about the heart, although the Dajin is getting stronger and stronger, from the perspective of the entire size, it is impossible to compare with the old empire. In fact, I have long been exhausted and are close to the brink of collapse.

After using various methods, this unexpected surprise attack was carried out, with only one purpose, peace talks. It forced the tough Ming court to discuss peace talks with itself, so that it could get a chance to breathe, and a few years of rest, and then explode and start a fire, and finally a battle was decided.

As Huang Taiji said in history before withdrawing his troops: "I am crazy in the city, but my territory is still strong and cannot be defeated at any time. It is easier to obtain and difficult to defend. It is better to simplify my troops and train my brigades to wait for the destiny of heaven!" (Volume 1 of "Xiaoting Miscellaneous Records")

However, just as he was waiting patiently for the news, he suddenly made a detailed return in Beijing: "Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned. The lama brought into the city had no chance to see Chongzhen, and even the old-level people at the level of the cabinet were not seen. At that time, Huang Taiji was stunned for a long time, and finally closed the book gently and sighed."

It seems that I have to change the situation and oppress Beijing City. It seems that the alliance under the city will not achieve the effect by using a method without bleeding.

"Call together the ministers' accounts to discuss." Huang Taiji ordered at that time.

In this era, although Huang Taiji was a great khan, he could not speak out like in later generations, and he could not speak out in a way that was arbitrary. From time to time, the Beilemen dared to talk to Huang Taiji.

They still practiced the barbarians' approach to political affairs. During the march and war, everyone sat around a bonfire, talking about their opinions, and finally implemented a simple democracy, and whoever said it had a reasonable point of view. This is the so-called multi-king discussion of politics.

This broad democracy has extremely serious disadvantages, that is, a small matter will lead to endless debates, and often delays matters in urgent military information. So later, the Eight Banners system was established. If there were any important things, no one would sit together, and only the Khan convened the Eight Banners' banner owners to discuss state affairs. This is what people often said later that the Eight Kings discussed politics.

Later, Dorgon became the regent. In order to strengthen his own strength, he abolished the Eight Kings' system of political discussions and used the emperor to command the princes to adopt the centralized system of imperial power of the Han people. In this way, the original form of democracy finally disappeared, and everyone became the emperor's lackeys and the emperor's slaves.

Fortunately, the Qing Dynasty also had a system that suppressed the emergence of tyrants. They did not adopt the cabinet and the emperor's checks and balances system of the Ming Dynasty court, but adopted the system of selecting princes under the Iron Blood Jungle Rule, and truly achieved the ability and the foolish and incompetent.

So before Cixi came to power, there was no such thing as the entire Qing Dynasty court, or there were almost no tyrants. This is the benefit of the survival of the world and the law of the jungle.

With the order from Huang Taiji, the five flags and a group of young heroes who followed him, and the five founding ministers, only had fruitful results, Yanggu happily walked into Huang Taiji's tent.

When everyone was all here, Huang Taiji sat on it and said calmly: "It is unrealistic to use a peaceful method to ask the Emperor Ming Dynasty to discuss peace with us now. Then the remaining path is to fight. To fight and achieve our goal."

The most vocal Big Bellehauge said: "I have said a long time ago that my mother's solution was too slow. Now that we are strong, we should take down Beijing City in one go, and then everyone will protect you on the dragon throne and command the world. Why do you have to be like a mother-in-law?"

Haoge is Huang Taiji's eldest son, and he is good at fighting, but his only disadvantage is that it makes people feel that this guy has a short-circuited head and is unable to bear the responsibility.

Huang Taiji was too lazy to pay attention to him and directly asked his old minister Anfei Yanggu: "What do you think?"

Affey Yanggu pondered for a moment and said, "Now we have occupied a large area of ​​Zhili territory outside Beijing, and the most critical cities are already under our control. I believe that what Mr. Fan Wencheng said at the beginning, the purpose of paralyzing the other party in exchange for strength has been achieved. Since our inner support has no effect, and the child Chongzhen still did not bow his head, we should adopt another method, that is, to force the bullhead to drink water."

Yue Tuo, an outstanding representative of the younger generation, echoed: "The best way is to use both soft and hard, especially in our current situation. Although we have taken the initiative in the entire battlefield, we are actually attacked from three sides without breaking through Shanhaiguan and gaining connections with our local area. This battle should be decided quickly, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will recover, which will be a disaster for us."

Dorgon also agreed worriedly: "Yue Tuo is right. After all, we are surrounded by the enemy on three sides. And the reason why we can have such an active situation is that we accidentally attacked the Ming court. This situation will not last long. As long as he can recover, as long as they send an elite army to occupy our important channel to Outer Mongolia Zunhua, we will be surrounded on all sides. Although we can fight, there are few people after all. In just this period, the Ming Dynasty had 200,000 Qin Wangjun from all over the country."

Mangourtai sneered: "Old Fourteen is exaggerating. Look at the soldiers and horses of the kings from all over the country. Look at that. They are all thin and thin. After eating the last meal, they have no next meal. The armor is ragged and the swords and guns are uneven. That is a mob. What can I do if I come? As long as I rest for another 10 days and half a month, I will take my Zhenglan Banner headquarters and destroy these annoying things in one battle."

Dorgon smiled bitterly: "Fifth brother, although we are powerful, and the enemy is a group of vulnerable mobs, but there are too many ants to kill the bears. The tiger can only accept the disadvantage in front of a group of spoiled dogs. Don't underestimate them."
