"Master, are you planning to use troops against the grassland?" Fan Wencheng heard Huang Taiji's next plan for Dai Jin from his words.
Huang Taiji said calmly: "Dajin and Horqin are brothers. Now that Horqin is threatened by Hutuktu Khan, naturally I can't watch my allies being bullied."
"Great Khan, do you want to unify the grasslands, or simply teach Hutuktu Khan a lesson?" Fan Wencheng asked.
Since Lao Khan, every time the Horqin tribe was threatened by the Chahar tribe, Dajin would send troops to support Horqin and scare away Hutuktu Khan from the Chahar tribe.
It doesn't take much troops to simply scare Hutuktu Khan.
When Hutuktu Khan of the Chahar tribe saw Dajin's soldiers and horses, he was like a mouse meeting a cat. Before they met, he wanted to retreat back into the hole.
Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng and asked, "Which one does Mr. Fan think is better?"
"Of course it's my Daijin unified grassland." Fan Wencheng said it smoothly without thinking.
The corners of Huang Taiji's mouth curled up slightly, and he was very satisfied with Fan Wencheng's answer.
For so many years, Dajin has been weakening the power of Hutuktu Khan, from the five inner Khalkha tribes at the beginning to the Naiman and Aohan tribes later.
Although today's Hutuktu Khan has been annexing surrounding tribes and strengthening himself, he has been continuously bled by Dajin. Instead of strengthening his power, he has become much weaker and has attracted the hatred of various tribes.
From Huang Taiji's point of view, after so many years of weakening the Chahar tribe, it was time to take action.
"Master wants to unify the grassland, but I'm afraid there is still a problem to be solved." Fan Wencheng said suddenly.
Hearing this, Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Are you talking about the tiger-character flag?"
"Master Mingjian, this slave is talking about the Tiger-Charactered Banner." Fan Wencheng said, "The Tiger-Charactered Banner has been dealing with the Tumote tribe a few years ago, and then annexed the Mongolian right wing. Now they have become your master's plan to conquer the grassland. The biggest obstacle.”
Huang Taiji nodded slightly and said, "You are right. It is precisely because of this tiger flag that Hutuktu Khan of the Chahar tribe gave up even his cherished wish to restore his ancestral pasture."
It is no secret on the grassland that the Tiger-Character Banner has repeatedly cut off the arm of the Chahar tribe stretching towards the right Mongolia.
Huang Taiji placed many of his own people among various ministries on the grassland, so he naturally received the news.
"My slave has an idea, which may help you conquer the grassland, Khan." Fan Wencheng raised his head and looked at Huang Taiji behind the table.
Hearing this, Huang Taiji said: "Mr. Fan, if you have any good ideas, just tell me. I am not a child of Chongzhen, and I will not listen to offensive words."
"Of course Chongzhen's son cannot compare with your master's talent and strategy." Fan Wencheng praised.
Huang Taiji held his beard and laughed.
Who was Emperor Chongzhen? That was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Even if he didn't look down on him from the bottom of his heart, he still knew that the Ming Dynasty was Zhengshuo, so when Fan Wencheng, a Han man, scolded Emperor Chongzhen, he was very happy.
Even the Han people looked down on their Han emperor. Emperor Chongzhen was naturally unworthy of continuing to sit on the dragon chair in the capital.
After Fan Wencheng finished his praise, he continued: "Since Khutuktu Khan is unwilling to go to Mongolia on the right to fight against the Tiger Flag, we Daikin can help him, so that he has to take the Chahar tribe to find the Tiger Flag. Flag fight for your life.”
"Oh? Mr. Fan, tell me what you think?" Huang Taiji became interested.
Fan Wencheng said: "If Dajin uses troops on the grassland again, Horqin and other tribes can be sent to deal with the Chahar tribe. With the courage of Hutuktu Khan, he will definitely not dare to face our Dajin warriors directly. He will only run away with his head in his arms, and he The only one that can go is right-wing Mongolia. As long as he escapes into the sphere of influence of right-wing Mongolia, Chahar himself will fight against the Tiger Banner without Dai Jin taking action."
"Haha, Mr. Fan is worthy of being the Xu Shu next to me." Huang Taiji praised him.
After hearing this, Fan Wencheng bowed slightly and said, "This slave prefers Zhuge Kongming as his master."
"If you want to be Mr. Kong Ming next to me, Mr. Fan still has to work hard, but I believe that Mr. Fan will become the sleeping dragon and phoenix chick next to me sooner or later." Huang Taiji said with a smile.
The capital is thousands of miles away from Shenyang.
When the Tiger Banner attacked the islands around Lushun again, Lushun had already received the news. He sent people to send the news to Dengzhou by ship, and then quickly sent it to the capital via Dengzhou.
In the Qianqing Palace, after receiving the battle report from Lushun, Emperor Chongzhen immediately called his chief assistant and the Minister of War, the King.
The chief minister of the cabinet has been replaced by Lai Zongdao and Zhou Daodeng.
There is a saying that luck cannot be stopped. There are so many people, but Zhou Daodeng is lucky enough to succeed Lai Zongdao as the chief minister of the cabinet. If they were sent in order, he would not be able to take the position.
However, this person has a shortcoming: he is a good-natured person who is unwilling to offend anyone. He does not seek merit but seeks no fault in his behavior.
"Two beloved ministers, please tell me how to resolve the matter in Lushun?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at the chief minister Zhou Daodeng and the Minister of War Wang Qia in front of him with an ugly expression.
Since he ascended the throne, the world has never been stable.
Either the slave thieves from Liaodong invaded, or the Tiger Banner invaded the Ming Dynasty. Especially in the past year, the Tiger Banner, which was no longer satisfied with the northwest region, actually reached out to the Central Plains.
"I think we should send troops from Dengzhou to support Lushun and beat up the thieves and thieves in Lushun." Wang Qia knew that Zhou Daodeng, a good old man, could not give any useful suggestions, so he directly passed him and spoke first.
As for whether he would offend Zhou Daodeng, he was not worried at all.
He thought that Zhou Daodeng would not be angry because of such a trivial matter, and maybe he would be grateful to him for standing up first.
Emperor Chongzhen closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "I remember that the Dengzhou Navy was defeated by tiger thieves on Pi Island. If the Dengzhou Navy is sent again, can Wang Aiqing be sure that the Dengzhou Navy will defeat the tiger thieves?"
"Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and there is no war that can only be won or defeated. Back then, the old slave attacked Ningyuan with certainty of victory, but was finally defeated by Yuan Futai." Wang Qia knew who the person on the dragon throne was. Naturally, we dare not make a guarantee that we will only win but not lose.
Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen looked disappointed.
Then he turned his attention to Zhou Daodeng and said, "The first assistant has been silent. Could it be that the first assistant has a better plan?"
"I think Da Sima's method is very feasible. Since the tiger thieves have invaded Lushun, let the Dengzhou Navy be dispatched to deal with the tiger thieves in Lushun." Zhou Daodeng said.
Emperor Chongzhen was very disappointed when he heard this.
I am disappointed that the first assistant I chose has no independent opinion and cannot share his worries. I already regret letting him be the first assistant in the first place.
In desperation, Emperor Chongzhen did not go to see Zhou Daodeng, the chief minister, but directly said to Wang Qia, the Minister of War: "There must be no trouble in Lushun, but how to relieve the crisis in Lushun is up to you, Wang Aiqing."
Emperor Chongzhen acted like a rogue and left the affairs of Lushun to Wang Qia.
Only one result is given. How to achieve this result is left to Wang Qia to figure out how to do it.
