Zhu Youjian personally went to Shaanxi to quell the rebellion, three-year-old nephew Zhu Cixiang stayed in Beijing to supervise the country, and two-year-old Xinwang Zhu Cixuan left the Monan grassland. These three major events are not secrets, but formal edicts to all parties... ...So Liaoxi and Liaodong (Jin and Fuzhou) troops are in front. Then Jin Ben was good at using time, and many secrets of the Liaoxi and Liaodong armies were accidentally inquired by them, not to mention such public and eye-catching information?
So Zhu Youjian only issued the edict in early August, and Huang Taiji knew about it during the Mid-Autumn Festival!
But...he didn't believe it. How could it be true that he was imprisoned at the age of three and went to war at the age of two?
Although it is rumored that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was a coward, he was not so comatose! Can a little kid of one or three years old supervise the country? Can a kid of one or two years old leave the Monan Grassland? No matter how confused Zhu Youjian is, he won't be like this!
And...in the past few years since Zhu Youjian came to power, the Kingdom of Jin has never defeated him! This emperor never faints no matter how he looks at it! How could you do such a stupid thing?
"Great Khan," it was Fan Wencheng who spoke, "I personally disguised myself as a North Korean businessman and went to western Liaoning to find out. This matter is so true that it has been spread throughout western Liaoning as a joke."
Fan Wencheng's skills as a spy have improved, and he no longer pretends to be a monk, but a businessman from North Korea. In order to look more like him, he grew his hair.
"Great Khan, this is indeed true. The spy sent by me also obtained a copy of the edict of the Southern Dynasties." Amin, who came back from Jinzhou to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, also took out a copy of the edict and handed it to Huang Taiji with both hands.
Huang Taiji unfolded the manuscript and read it once, and couldn't help laughing: "You can actually say that a three-year-old child is smart, insightful, thoughtful, and powerful... It's really unexpected that this little emperor is so confused. ah!"
"Alas, Zhu Youjian is also a child himself!" Dabeile Daishan said, "Although he is good at fighting, being a political country is not just about fighting... Look at how Shaanxi has become one over the years. Knowing that Zhu Youjian can fight, he can't do anything else."
Huang Taiji nodded. Daishan was right. He then glanced at Mang Gurtai, who had been dizzy all day, and said, "Sanbeile, what do you think?"
Mang Gurtai has been a little confused ever since he fell off his horse and smashed his skull after "eating the wind". Especially after the last "Yuxi Incident", he went to the doctor all day long to prescribe medicine for himself. He has become more and more confused. A confusing trend.
But it was precisely because of his confusion that Huang Taiji no longer suspected him. And he was busy curing his illness and no longer quarreled with Huang Taiji. The relationship between the two brothers was much harmonious...
Now hearing Huang Taiji's question, Mang Gurtai somehow thought of the jade seal, so he said smoothly: "This is destiny! First, the jade seal passed down to the country belonged to the Great Khan, and then the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty was stupid and confused... a A three-year-old kid is supervising the country, and a two-year-old kid is leaving town in Monan. The two of them are only six years old together, how can they beat Dahan?"
This is what I said...
The big and powerful ministers present didn’t know whether they should agree or not? Three plus two equals six. Can you still listen to this Sanbeile?
Huang Taiji nodded repeatedly - there are already words on the jade seal, really! It is a Qin seal with eight characters in total: If you are ordered by Heaven, you will live forever.
Moreover... news came from the Mongolian grasslands that Tututaiji had obtained the real jade seal from Sutai Dafujin!
Regardless of whether this news is true or false, the jade seal "offered" by Qutu Taiji is already real in the eyes of everyone!
As long as everyone thinks that something like a jade seal is real, then it cannot be fake...
So this jade seal is real!
Since the jade seal is real, then Dajin has a destiny... Now there is a ridiculous thing in the Ming Dynasty about "three years old to supervise the country and two years old to go to war". This clearly means that God wants Dajin to prosper. ah!
"Great Khan, destiny cannot be violated!" Dorgon, the smart king, knew Huang Taiji's thoughts best, and said with a smile, "And we were already preparing to send out a large number of troops. Now we might as well work harder, maybe we can turn things around. ”
Huang Taiji frowned deeply: "But we already have a lot of troops ready to dispatch... If we send more troops, I'm afraid the autumn harvest will be delayed. If the war drags on for a long time, next year's spring famine may be even worse. It’s serious.”
The biggest enemy Huang Taiji and Zhu Youjian face is actually famine!
In fact, the two of them have one thing in common in their war strategies - they both regard food as the key to victory or defeat.
Zhu Youjian wanted to earn money after starving, while Huang Taiji wanted to grab grain from the Ming Dynasty... Grabbing the Ming Dynasty's grain could not only force the Ming Dynasty to death, but also enable him to survive the food shortage. It was really Kill two birds with one stone.
But such a good thing is not without cost, because Houjin is taking the path of integrating soldiers and farmers. Although the Eight Banners soldiers and Baoyi slaves have no intention of farming properly, they are still farming after all... So Huang Taiji cannot deploy too many young men during the busy farming season.
"The Great Khan can use Mongolian warriors," Dorgon said. "The Horqin, Aohan, Balin, Zharut, Naiman and other tribes have been recuperating for a period of time, and they can send troops... I believe After they learn that the Great Khan obtained the Yuxi and Zhu Youjian was tripped in Shaanxi, they will definitely be willing to follow the Great Khan to conquer the grasslands and Yanshan!"
Huang Taiji was finally moved: "Okay! After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will tell the Mongolian ministries to send troops to Yanshan! By the way, Old Fourteen, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, you, Old Twelve and Old Fifteen should also send troops to North Korea! I got the report a few days ago, It is said that the Southern Dynasty appointed Yang Hao as the military commander to aid Korea, and he has already supervised thousands of troops to go to Korea by sea... You brothers should be more careful!"
Dorgon smiled and said: "Don't worry, Great Khan, that Yang Hao is just a defeated general of my Da Jin. His 470,000 troops were defeated miserably in the Battle of Sarhu. Now with only a few thousand soldiers, we can still defeat him." What kind of waves can it cause?"
...
When Huang Taiji made up his mind and prepared for a big fight, Zhu Youjian was saying goodbye to Queen Zhou and Zhu Cixiang who stayed in Beijing to supervise the country in Nanhaizi Palace.
He has to go south to Shaanxi... There are a lot of troubles in Shaanxi, it's a headache!
Zhu Youjian looked at the three-year-old Nizi, then at Zhou Hou's belly, and just sighed!
The trouble in Shaanxi is not only lack of food, but also the issue of guarding the territory - after Zhu Youjian established five Mongolian noble concubines and thousands of households in Orduo, the borders between Yulin and Ningxia towns are relatively safe.
But what about Gansu?
If the three filial sons are already available, he can be sent to Gansu to be the king of fortress. With his management ability, he should be able to rely on the Huang River Valley to feed thousands of elite soldiers and guard the land of Gansu. Maybe we can grab some more territory from the Yeerqiang Khanate and the Qinghai Tumote Tribe.
But now Zhu Cijiong is still squinting in his mother's womb... Without Zhu Cijiong, who can go to Gansu and become the king? No one!
If we do not enfeoff vassal kings in Gansu, but continue to rely on floating officials to govern, it will be impossible to control Gansu and Hexi from the Huanghe River valley. The advantage of floating officials is that they are obedient and easy to command, but their disadvantages are low efficiency and The further away from Beijing, the lower the efficiency. The advantage of enfeoffing vassal kings is that they can achieve low-cost governance, but the disadvantage is of course that they are disobedient.
Therefore, Zhu Youjian is not willing to grant a foreign surname or a descendant, but is only willing to grant a title to his own son...
"Father, don't worry, I am not afraid of the bad guy Huang Taiji!"
When Zhu Youjian was sighing, Nizi had already spoken, still so confident and able to brag...
Zhu Youjian looked at his son, "Brother Chun, you are still young... If Huang Taiji really comes, how can you cope with it?"
Queen Zhou on the side nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Brother Chun is still young!"
Zhu Youjian took out three kits and placed them in front of Zhu Cihong and Zhou Hou, "Chun Ge'er, Queen, here are three kits... There are three words A, B, and C on them. If Huang Taiji attacks the towns of Yan and Ning, you should open the A-shaped bag, which contains countermeasures. If Huang Taiji opens the Pak bag, you should open the B-shaped bag, which also contains a clever plan. If Huang Taiji attacks Xuanfu and Jining, you should open the B-shaped bag. Word bag..."
