"Lao Ba, the second lao is no longer the flag leader. Not only is he incompetent, but his status is also not qualified. As the leader of the Zhenglan Banner, I should be the leader of the army this time." Mang Gurtai moved himself out .
He suffered a loss at the hands of Hu Ziqi last time, and he wanted to pay it back this time.
Moreover, Daishan had lost his authority, and he did not want to see the day when Daishan would rise again.
Huang Taiji said with a smile: "Fifth brother, you are worrying too much. I have given the two red flags to the second brother. Together with your Zhenglan flag, fifth brother, I will definitely be able to stop the tiger bandit army in Gaizhou this time." outside."
As for whether Mang Gurtai and Daishan would be at odds with each other after they went to Gaizhou, he was not worried because that was what he wanted to do.
Only if two people are at odds with each other, he, as the Great Khan, can better control it.
"You returned the two red flags to the second child?" Mang Gurtai frowned.
He didn't expect that Huang Taiji was actually willing to return the two red flags to Daishan, and even gave up the position of flag leader to his own son.
Huang Taiji smiled cheekily and said: "Yue Tuo is gone, and Xiang Hongqi has no suitable candidate, so he asked Haoge to take over temporarily. Now that Xiang Hongqi's strength has almost recovered, it is natural to return it to the second brother."
As he said that, he glanced at Hauge next to him.
At this time, Hauge's face was very ugly.
"I think it's good for Hauge to be the leader of Xianghongqi. There's no need to replace him. Besides, the second brother is getting older. Hauge commanding Xianghongqi can also give him more time to cultivate." Mang Gurtai Said in his mouth.
Hauge's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Huang Taiji expectantly, hoping that Huang Taiji would change his mind.
Huang Taiji said: "Hauge is so young and needs experience. The second brother has been following his father Khan in the north and south since he was a child. He is more capable than us. I can rest assured that he will carry the two red flags."
"That's all, it's a matter between you and your son anyway, so I won't worry about it." Seeing that Huang Taiji was determined to support Daishan, Mang Gurtai knew that it would be useless to say anything else.
Fortunately, this trip was not in vain.
Seeing Hauge's face as dark as the bottom of a pot, it was a thorn in the side between the father and son.
Unable to compete for the position of the army's head coach, Mang Gurtai had no interest in staying, so he found any reason to leave Huang Taiji's hall.
After Mang Gurtai left, Huang Taiji's expression immediately darkened.
"Amma, I think what Mang Gurtai said makes sense. Daishan is no longer suitable to be in charge of the two red flags. Moreover, I have become the leader of the red flag, which is also good for Amma." Haugehao Said without blinking.
He also wanted to persuade Huang Taiji to change his mind and let him return to Xianghongqi as the flag master.
After hearing this, Huang Taiji said with a cold face: "Do you really think Mang Gurtai was speaking for you just now?"
"I think what Mang Gurtai said is true. I think it is more suitable for me to be the leader of the flag with the red flag than Daishan." Hauge said smoothly.
Their family doesn't have much family ties.
Whether it was Daishan or Mang Gurtai, they were always called by names without any respect. For the sake of profit, it was always a fight between father, son and brother.
Huang Taiji was helpless with his son's lack of political acumen, so he could only say: "Mang Gurtai didn't have good intentions in letting you stay in Xianghongqi. He did it for himself."
"How is this possible? My son is the leader of the flag of Xianghongqi, and it is most beneficial to you, Ama." Hauge retorted, feeling that Huang Taiji was lying to him because he didn't want him to stay in Xianghongqi.
Huang Taiji looked helpless after hearing this.
But thinking that the other party was his biological son, he had to explain to him: "Daishan let the two red flags kill and injure so many people. Do you think the people of the two red flags will not hate Daishan? Even if Daishan continues to control the two red flags at this time, Red flags, people with two red flags will also be separated from him in a short period of time, do you understand?"
"But this has nothing to do with my son continuing to stay in Xianghongqi!" Hauge looked puzzled.
In his opinion, Huang Taiji's explanation was not inconsistent with him continuing to be the leader of the red flag.
"Do you know why I asked Daishan to lead the troops to Gaizhou?" Huang Taiji asked Xiang Hauge.
Hauge hesitated for a moment, then thought of Huang Taiji's previous explanation to Mang Gurtai, and said, "Amma valued Daishan's ability to conquer and fight well, so he sent him to Gaizhou."
"This is just one of the reasons." Huang Taiji said, "The more important reason is that Daishan went to Gaizhou and was able to suppress Mang Gurtai. If it were anyone else who went to Gaizhou, he would have to suffer from Mang Gurtai. Clamp down.”
Hauge was stunned.
He hadn't thought about this.
Huang Taiji continued: "The tiger thieves have captured Fuzhou City. If they continue to move north, they will threaten Liaoyang. Therefore, Daikin must stop the tiger thieves' army in Gaizhou. At this time, a stable coach is needed to cover Gaizhou. The state is in charge.”
"Even if you need a veteran to go to Gaizhou, you don't have to send Daishan! You can completely let your minister go, and arrange a veteran to follow him." Hauge looked puzzled. said.
In his opinion, although Daishan is good at fighting, there are many veterans like Daishan in Daikin, and there is no need to sacrifice his Hauge's interests to fulfill Daishan.
Huang Taiji looked at Hauge and said, "If Daishan goes to Gaizhou, he will naturally help me take care of Mang Gurtai. If you go to Gaizhou, can you touch Mang Gurtai?"
Hauge remained silent.
An old flag leader like Mang Gurtai was not something he could deal with, not to mention that Mang Gurtai was once one of the four Baylors, and was on an equal footing with Huang Taiji back then.
"Okay, go back if you have nothing to do. Remember, don't tell anyone about Daishan's plan to clean up Mang Gurtai in Gaizhou, you know?" Huang Taiji warned Hauge.
If Haoge hadn't been his own son, he would never have told Haoge about the secret deal between himself and Daishan.
"My son, please retire."
Hauge left Huang Taiji's hall angrily.
He was not relieved by Huang Taiji's explanation, but became even more dissatisfied. He felt that Huang Taiji suppressed Mang Gurtai for his own benefit, but at the expense of his Hauge's interests.
The relationship between father and son was once again vividly displayed at this moment.
However, although Hauge was dissatisfied with what Huang Taiji did, he was not stupid enough to leak the secret deal between Daishan and Huang Taiji.
He also wanted to inherit the throne in the future, and even if he was dissatisfied, he would not choose to offend Huang Taiji.
Because Huang Taiji was always worried that the Tiger Flag army would continue to move north, he did not leave Daishan and Mang Gurtai much time to prepare, so he asked the two men to lead their troops south.
Food and grass will follow.
Among the Eight Banners soldiers who went south, the Zhenghong Banner had the smallest number, but it still had more than a thousand soldiers and horses. The Xianghong Banner had almost recovered its strength because of the support of the two Yellow Banners. With the Zhenglan Banner's soldiers and horses, the three banners were dispatched in total. More than 8,000 Eight Banners soldiers.
The rest are all Han troops.
Originally, these Han troops were supposed to be reorganized into the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, but due to the Fuzhou War, the Han troops had to postpone their reorganization into the Eight Banners and go south to fight first.
