"How can eldest brother swallow up the two yellow flags of Emperor Ama before he has issued an edict?"
"That's right! We brothers are all brothers, we can't favor one over the other!"
The fifth son of the emperor, Shuo Sai, and the sixth son of the emperor, Gao Sai, sang together to prevent the eldest brother Hao Ge from completely controlling the two yellow flags.
"This is a special period. It is precisely because Emperor Ama has not yet awakened that my brother is responsible for taking charge of the two yellow flags to prevent us from dividing our troops rashly and losing our troops and horses in vain. The two yellow flags are the foundation of our Qing Dynasty. How can we adapt to the times? Did it fall apart due to changes in the situation?"
Even if his thoughts are seen by his brothers, Hauge will not give in easily.
Before Huang Ama regained consciousness, his second uncle Dai Shan, who had a higher status, died in battle, and his fourteenth uncle, who had a strong voice, had not returned to the north. This was the perfect opportunity for him to take control of the two yellow flags.
Once you miss it, you may never have peace in the future.
The Manzi Heavenly Book states that he was executed by the powerful Fourteenth Uncle twelve years ago.
Regardless of whether it is true or false, we must not allow such bizarre content to become reality.
"Brother, right now we and my brothers are providing ten people, and the two yellow flags have ten Jia La. How about each brother controlling one Jia La?"
Chang Shu also had the same position as Shuo Sai and Gao Sai. In short, Hauge could not be allowed to eat alone while he could not even drink soup.
"Absolutely not! I have led troops for my brother for many years and have won the trust of Emperor Ama. At this critical juncture, I naturally have to help Emperor Ama solve his problems!"
Hauge categorically rejected the other party's proposal. The two yellow flags were his biggest reliance on seizing the throne.
The Zhenglan Banner had been severely damaged in this battle, with only two thousand of its 7,500 men remaining.
If you miss the two yellow flags, your life will be difficult in the future.
"Fu Lin, what do you think?"
The status of the fourth son of the emperor Ye Bushu is second only to Hauge, because the second son of the emperor Luo Ge and the third son of the emperor Luo Bohui are both young.
The soldiers and horses Fulin received were Jia La belonging to the Zhenghuang Banner, which was completely different from the Jia La under the Xianghuang Banner of his five brothers.
The younger Bomu Bogor and others did not have the opportunity to lead the troops alone, so they could only go into battle with their own soldiers.
Fulin was treated differently from other brothers, and everyone speculated that Huang Ama was probably influenced by the contents of the heavenly book.
The Manzi Heavenly Book says that Fulin finally became the emperor and destroyed Manming. Emperor Ama's move may have been in compliance with God's will.
Another point is that Fulin is not only obedient, but also willing to fully implement the strategy of the Manchu, Mongolian and Han alliance advocated by Emperor Ama, which is much stronger than Hauge, who is arbitrary and ignorant.
"I think we have to wait until Emperor Ama wakes up before making a decision!"
Fulin never thought of becoming emperor, but Hauge already regarded him as a thorn in his side. In order to protect himself, he had to move closer to the brothers headed by his fourth brother.
It would be great if the brothers are willing to recommend him as the new king. Fulin is also willing to reciprocate and give the brothers greater rights and interests after the success.
The eldest brother Hauge is a bit like the situation of his uncle Chu Ying. In the Qing Dynasty, the throne was not established as the foundation of the country like the Man Ming Dynasty, but the capable person.
"Fu Lin! What do you mean by this? Could it be that you want to allow the two yellow flags to be divided?"
Hauge was naturally very dissatisfied when he heard this. This younger brother really has bad intentions. He will definitely find an opportunity to kill him in the future...
"Brother, we are all the sons of Emperor Ama, so how can we talk about carving up the country? If my eldest brother takes the yellow flag, my foolish brother will have no objection. If all the brothers receive the yellow flag, my foolish brother will have no objection either."
Fulin had his own considerations. While taking into account the overall situation, he also had to take care of the feelings of many brothers. After all, they had now formed an offensive and defensive alliance.
"Okay! Just hand over the soldiers and horses with the yellow flag in your hand!"
Hauge felt that it was not unacceptable to be so half-hearted, at least he got the most elite Zhenghuangqi.
"This was given by the Emperor Ama personally. If you want to take it back, you will naturally need the Emperor Ama's Holy Order!"
Of course, Fulin would not hand over military power so easily, so he found a confident excuse to excuse himself.
"you……"
Hauge suddenly became furious. If many ministers were not present, he would have drawn his sword.
"My eldest brother has already won four armors. Don't you think it's not enough?"
The fourth son of the emperor, Ye Bushu, basically agreed with this division. At least he had the upper hand by getting six of the two yellow flags.
"Hmph! I am the elder brother. It is natural for me to manage the two yellow flags on behalf of Emperor Ama. However, you brothers are deliberately dividing the two yellow flags!"
Hauge thought he was good enough, but Mogami would not give in.
"Huang Ama didn't mention that my eldest brother would be in charge. If we really want to be in charge, it would be more appropriate for Fulin, who already has the Zhenghuang Banner and his troops, to be in charge!"
Shuosei has never been used to the idea of a big brother like Hauge, who is both mindless and militaristic. Mingming is not what it used to be. If the Qing Dynasty sticks to its status quo, the consequences will be disastrous.
"...Shuosai! Don't stop talking nonsense here! I care about my brotherhood and won't argue with you!"
Hauge flicked his sleeves, his face showing all kinds of disdain.
"So what if you care about it? Isn't it possible that the eldest brother wants to take action on the foolish brother?"
With all the brothers supporting him, Shuosei is not afraid of Hauge's threat at all.
"Presumptuous! Do you think I dare not discipline you on behalf of Emperor Ama?"
Hauge suddenly became even more angry. One Fulin made him very humiliated, and now there was another Shuocai.
"I'm afraid that in the name of Emperor Ama, you want to avenge your private revenge?"
Shuosei grasped the handle of the sword tightly and responded to Hauge with a sneer. Even if he was facing a one-on-one fight, at thirty years old, he was not afraid of his elder brother who was twenty years older than him.
So many years have passed, and now Hauge's rhetoric of skill with bows and horses is completely useless when faced with the barbarian's armored chariots and new muskets.
It would be great if Fulin could be a wise king. Even if he takes a step back, he would still choose the best one from the other brothers, and it would not be the turn of a reckless man like Hauge to take over!
Everyone can see it, but Hauge is still stubborn and unrepentant. If he really becomes the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he will collapse on his own!
"you……"
"Forget it! Big brother! Why do you have to do this with your fifth brother? All the brothers are also thinking about Emperor Ama!"
The fourth prince, Ye Bushu, suddenly became a peacemaker, speaking kindly to appease Hauge.
"Hmph! When Huang Ama wakes up, I will explain the situation to Huang Ama!"
Hauge said something harsh and walked away, as if everyone owed him a soldier.
"Reckless man! There is no plan!"
Looking at Hauge's retreating back, Shuosai muttered something in his mouth. Naturally, the other brothers heard it and thought it was true.
Hauge thought that by letting the soldiers and horses of the two yellow flags retreat, he could buy people's hearts so that he could completely control the two yellow flags in the future.
He never expected that a group of younger brothers would snatch the yellow flag away from him while he was retreating.
Many generals with yellow flags really didn't like Hauge at all, because the blue flag had been squandered by this elder brother three or four times.
If the yellow flag falls into the hands of the eldest brother, he will give it to the barbarians one day and eat it...
It would be great if Fulin, the ninth son of the emperor, could manage the two yellow flags.
If that doesn't work, you can also work under other elder brothers first.
Being controlled by Hauge is undoubtedly the worst outcome.
On the third day after the princes broke up unhappy, Huang Taiji woke up, but his physical condition was still not good, so he could only worry about the civil servants, generals and princes in the big tent.
After asking about the casualties of Master Wang's battle, Huang Taiji felt even more depressed and started coughing. Finally, he coughed up a mouthful of blood on the white silk handkerchief.
In this battle, Gou Manzi was not seriously injured, but the King's Division was severely damaged by the opponent. The loss of no less than 200,000 troops and horses was the highest in history. How could Huang Taiji not be worried.
What's more important is that after the victory, the demon boy's troops became aggressive. Not only did they destroy Hetuala, they also attempted to move northward and occupy all the fertile lands of the Qing Dynasty south of the Songhua River.
Abatai, Azig, Dudu and others had previously used small groups of cavalry to attack continuously, which distracted the attention of the Man Ming pursuers, which was good.
In view of the urgent situation, the four great advisers took matters into their own hands and sent a letter to Dorgon, who was fighting in the north, asking him to go south as soon as possible to discuss important matters.
In this regard, Huangtaiji did not pursue the relevant responsibilities. Instead, he gave some encouragement and thought that he had done a good job.
If he really couldn't hold on any longer and handed over his throne to Hauge, he really wouldn't worry about it.
Huang Taiji mentally acquiesced that Fulin would be the crown prince and would succeed him after his death.
Regarding his physical condition, Huang Taiji no longer taboos the word "die".
Now I finally understand how Zhuge Liang felt before his death in Wuzhangyuan in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
There are only four words - all previous efforts are wasted!
The results of the previous thirty years of hard work have all come to naught!
Shenyang was lost, the second brother died in the battle, Hetuala was destroyed, and the south of the Songhua River could not be saved.
Can the Qing Dynasty, which is in decline, still talk about the future? ? ?
With the result of this battle, the devil boy will invade the north again next year. How should the Qing army defend against the enemy?
After a few simple words, the upset Huang Taiji dismissed everyone and began to close his eyes and rest.
In the dream, Huang Taiji seemed to feel Huang Ama calling him...
When I woke up and recalled it, I suddenly felt that my time was running out.
The Ming Dynasty has not been destroyed, the great things have not been accomplished, but I can't hold on anymore.
After half a month of thinking, Huang Taiji saw that his physical condition had not improved even after recuperation, so he made a will in public.
If he unfortunately dies, his ninth son, Fulin, will inherit the throne and lead millions of Qing troops to continue fighting against the Ming invaders from the north.
Fulin didn't want to accept it at first, but with a group of brothers behind him and the eyeing eldest brother Hauge next to him, he had to obey the order.
Three months later, when Dorgon returned with his soldiers and horses carrying the Zhengbai flag and the Zhenggreen flag, he only saw white cloth hanging inside and outside the camp...
"Uncle Fourteen, Emperor Ama has..."
"Brother, how is your Majesty?"
Dorgon had already made a rough guess, but he still had to wait for Hauge to tell him personally.
"Huang Ama has passed away!"
"Ah? Your Majesty! My brother is a step late~! My brother is guilty! My brother failed to see the emperor..."
"..."
Hauge originally wanted to put on a show of bitterness for Dorgon, but he didn't expect that the other party would cry even more miserably than him, which confused Hauge.
Dorgon didn't wait for Haoge to react, so he went to the big tent and saw Fulin who had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. A month ago, he named him "Shunji".
"Uncle Fourteen! Emperor Ama is still in mourning. I wish Uncle Fourteen to express my condolences!"
"I'm late, I'll go to the emperor to punish you!"
"How can Uncle Fourteen be guilty of following Emperor Ama to fight in the north and south? Uncle Fourteen is our God of War in the Qing Dynasty. I still hope that Uncle Fourteen will defeat Man Ming!"
As for Dorgon's thoughts, Shunji couldn't guess yet, but as long as the two white flags were not pulled over by Hao, Dorgon could be given greater rights to move in the future.
"Your Majesty is so ridiculous. I dare not consider myself a hero. From now on, I will lead the two white flags to conquer the barbarians for your Majesty!"
Dorgon also revealed his bottom line by the way, that is, no matter what, the other party cannot use the idea of two white flags, that is his territory.
"Uncle Fourteen is still very loyal!"
Shunji's words were meant for someone, and everyone present knew who they were.
"Your Majesty, I want to go..."
"I know Uncle Fourteen's thoughts, but Emperor Ama has said it before. Just in case, the location of the mausoleum is a secret. Uncle Fourteen can pay homage on the incense table!"
"...I obey your order!"
Now that I'm back and I've learned about such a big thing, I still have to go through the motions.
After offering incense, Dorgon fainted from crying and was carried back to the tent to rest.
"How does Uncle Fourteen view the current situation, and what good strategies can we use to turn defeat into victory for the Qing Dynasty?"
After Shunji woke up in Dorgon, he summoned him alone for discussion. In terms of wisdom, Dorgon was probably above the four great advisers.
"Your Majesty, I have few talents and little knowledge..."
"Uncle Fourteenth, what you said is wrong. There are both you and me in the tent. If you say this, it will be seen outside."
"Your Majesty, Man Ming has won the previous round and his morale is strong. If Master Wang responds head-on like the previous round, he may be defeated again. In my opinion, the only option is to break the whole into pieces and carry out guerrilla attacks on both sides of the Songhua River. Otherwise, , build more camps in the mountainous areas, so that the people can rest and recuperate after farming. The range of the northern mountains is ten times that of Liaodong, enough to house millions of people. If the barbarians dare to invade north, Wang Shi can rely on the terrain to continue Resist them. When I led troops to attack the Ming vassal state in the north, my subordinates once captured the soldiers of the Western Barbarians. This group of Western Barbarians is said to come from Russia, which is a country in the north of the west. They were originally thousands of miles apart. After years of expansion, they The eastern border has advanced to the Manming vassal state. I believe that Wang Shi may be able to "drive out wolves and swallow tigers". Firstly, he can threaten the Manming vassal state with the help of Russian soldiers. Secondly, he can defeat the Russian soldiers and expand the Qing territory to the north. Thirdly, …”
"But it doesn't matter!"
"You can follow the example of Yelu Dashi, lead your troops to move to the west, occupy Russian soil, and use it for our Qing Dynasty!"
"...Well! The Fourteenth Uncle is really the most wise man in my Qing Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty is so complimentary. I have something inappropriate in my words. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"
"Uncle Fourteen is so polite. Without Uncle Fourteen's heartfelt words, I would really be helpless against Man Ming. In the future, Uncle Fourteen will still have to speak like he did just now. I will always be willing to listen attentively!"
After so many years of exposure, Shunji finally figured out the magic boy's tricks.
To deal with the King of the Qing Dynasty, you just have to settle down if you can't defeat them, and retreat if you can't survive them. In order to keep your dignity, you don't have any dignity at all.
The Qing Dynasty is like this now, why can't it imitate the Ming Dynasty?
At least until the Ming Dynasty gradually encroached on the fertile soil in the north, the Qing Dynasty still had the opportunity to fight elsewhere.
Regarding the guerrilla tactics mentioned by Dorgon, Shunji believes that they are also in line with the current situation and can be adopted and promoted to the entire army.
