Zu Dashou's proactive hope was fruitless.
Huziqi had no intention of contacting Zu Dashou from the beginning.
Because Liu Heng did not plan to treat Liaodong's generals as superiors, although the position of Liaodong's generals was important, it was not necessarily necessary for Tiger Flag.
Liu Heng knew his identity clearly in his heart and wanted to include the Liaodong generals into the Tiger Flag. If there were no benefits, the Liaodong generals would not agree.
But if the Tiger Character Banner really brings out such benefits, it will only cause inequality within the Tiger Character Banner, and the harm will far exceed the benefits brought by the inclusion of Liaodong Generals.
So Liu Heng chose to ignore Liaodong's generals.
Ignoring this means not taking the initiative to contact him, but the general of Liaodong came to submit his offer. The tiger-character flag did not mind accepting it, but it must be included in the tiger-character flag system. There will be no special treatment.
Of course, even if these Liaodong generals defected to Huang Taiji, Liu Heng didn't care.
The geographical location of fake gold is destined to not last long unless the bottleneck is broken.
Ming Dynasty's own incompetence could give Huang Taiji a chance to break this bottleneck. Tiger Character Flag, unlike Ming Dynasty, would not give Huang Taiji this chance.
Zu Dashou refused Chongzhen's order and went south to Beijing, and was waiting for a price in Liaodong. However, a dragon cavalry army from the Tiger Flag passed through the grassland, bypassed Jizhen all the way, and approached Shanhaiguan.
When this cavalry appeared outside Shanhaiguan, the commander of Guancheng, Gao Di, was shocked.
This large army of the Tiger Character Banner directly blocked the way the Liaodong Ming Army wanted to go south.
At this time, the Ming troops in Jizhen, Zunhua and other places could not take care of the tiger-character banner army that appeared in Shanhaiguan, and all these Ming troops rushed towards the capital to go to King Qin.
Shanhaiguan is not as important as the capital, and Gaodi is not as important as the one in the Forbidden City.
What Gao Di, who was blocked in Shanhaiguan, could do was to send people to the court for help while asking Zu Dashou to send troops to resolve the siege of Shanhaiguan.
Fortunately, Shanhaiguan is a dangerous pass, so there is no need to worry about safety for the time being.
Huang Taiji learned that the news that a cavalry force in the Tiger Character Banner was detouring through the grassland to block the Shanhaiguan road to seize the capital came through the Horqin Department.
The cavalry of the Tiger Banner took a detour from the grassland. When they did not appear in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty received no news at all, and their eyes were still focused on the other three Tiger Banner armies.
Dajin had his own allies on the grassland, and he soon received news that a large army of Tiger Character Banner was detouring from the grassland.
When Huang Taiji learned the news, he didn't know that the Tiger-Character Banner army had arrived outside Shanhaiguan. However, he was far superior to ordinary people in terms of strategy. Through some information, he guessed that the Tiger-Character Banner was the same as Daikin's. It's through the grassland.
Moreover, based on the places and tribes that the Tiger-Character Banner army passed through on the grassland, it can be easily deduced that the Tiger-Character Banner army is for Shanhaiguan.
When he got the news, Huang Taiji became anxious.
The purpose of his rash army this time was for Shanhaiguan. If he could not take Shanhaiguan, Daijin would be confined here in Liaodong and would not be able to develop much.
And in Daikin's case, Daikin can only maintain its stability by continuously gaining benefits from the outside world. If it cannot gain benefits from the outside world for a long time, Daikin itself will drag itself down.
Shanhaiguan is the door through which Daikin extends his hand. For Daikin, he must win Shanhaiguan.
Huang Taiji went on an expedition this time. In order to better recruit the Ming army in Liaodong, he specially brought many Han officials with him. Among them, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo and others were all brought with him.
"Mr. Ning, I need you to come forward and contact Zu Dashou. No matter what benefits he wants, you can agree to him. As long as he accepts Daikin's recruitment immediately." Huang Taiji said to Ning Wanwo.
The purpose of sending a trusted Han minister like Ning Wanwo to persuade Zu Dashou was to better let Zu Dashou understand how much he valued Zu Dashou.
Similarly, even if something happens to a Hanchen like Ning Wan and I, he won't feel bad.
"I accept my order." Ning Wanwo knelt down to accept the task given to him by Huang Taiji.
When ministers see the emperor, they often kneel down. It started with the old slave's big gold, and later in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, it was carried forward. Except for other dynasties, they would kowtow without any trouble.
As soon as I left, Huang Taiji turned to Fan Wencheng and said, "Mr. Fan, do you think Zu Dashou will agree to submit to Ben Khan?"
When he learned that the Tiger Character Banner had sent a large army but cut off Shanhaiguan's route south to the capital, time became more and more tense for Dai Jin. He did not want to continue to waste time with Zu Dashou.
Even if Zu Dashou made any excessive demands, as long as Zu Dashou surrendered to Dai Jin, he decided to agree to it.
"Don't worry, Great Khan, Zu Dashou can only surrender to Dai Jin." Fan Wencheng said with confidence.
After hearing this, Huang Taiji said: "Why is Mr. Fan so sure? I have sent more than one group of people to find ways to contact Zu Dashou, but they have not received a positive reply from Zu Dashou. Why does Mr. Fan think that Zu Dashou will definitely submit?" "
"Great Khan, your concern will lead to chaos. In fact, Zu Dashou has no other choice except Dajin. After all, Shanhaiguan is in the hands of Ming Dynasty. Even if Zu Dashou wants to join the tiger thief, he has no choice, and Gao Di of Shanhaiguan cannot Maybe Zu Dashou will lead his army into Shanhaiguan." Fan Wencheng analyzed.
Huang Taiji thought for a moment and said, "What if Gao Di defected to the tiger thief?"
"Impossible." Fan Wencheng shook his head and said immediately, "A high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty like Gao Di simply looks down on a rebel like the Tiger Thief. Even if Gao Di chooses to submit to one side, he will only submit to me, Dajin, not the Tiger Thief. For a rebel like a thief, if you, the Great Khan, proclaim yourself emperor, I believe that Gaudi will simply submit to you, the Great Khan."
Huang Taiji raised his hand and twirled his beard.
Fan Wencheng's words of proclaiming emperor moved his heart.
It's not that he has never thought of proclaiming himself emperor, but after taking over the throne, he has been sorting out the internal affairs of Dajin. And as long as he does not proclaim himself emperor, Da Ming will always guarantee Dajin some other possibilities.
Now think about it, the Ming Dynasty is almost over, and the internal affairs of Dajin have been sorted out. Several Dabei have died, been imprisoned, or have lost their power. No one can threaten his position. , on the contrary, after becoming emperor, he can gather some power.
Proclaiming himself emperor at this time is a good thing that has more advantages than disadvantages for him.
However, even if he wants to proclaim himself emperor, he will have to wait until he returns. What needs to be solved now is the problems of the Ningjin defense line and Shanhaiguan, as well as the Ming army in Liaodong.
He was also greedy for the Ming army that Ming Dynasty spent so much money to build.
As long as Dajin can control this Ming army, Dajin's military strength will reach a higher level.
