The Qing army retreated all the way back to Haizhou.
And just when the Qing army returned to Haizhou, the decree sent from Shengjing also arrived.
The person who came to convey the order was Huang Taiji's first-class bodyguard, Obai.
After reading out the edict, Ao Bai handed it to Dai Shan with both hands, and said politely: "Prince Li, the meaning of Long live the Lord is all in this edict. I have to rush back to return my order, so I ask Prince Li to confirm it." You must keep the imperial decree."
As he spoke, he glanced specifically at Prince Su Hauge next to him.
"Please also ask Guard Ao to tell Lord Long Live that if there are slaves, Haizhou will be there, and we will never let the tiger thieves set foot in Haizhou." Daishan gave a guarantee.
After hearing this, Obai said: "With this guarantee from the prince, I can go back and resume my life with peace of mind."
He took the initiative to say goodbye.
"Long live Lord, it's more important. I won't keep Ao Bai as a bodyguard." Dai Shan nodded to Obai, but he didn't try to persuade him to keep him. Furthermore, since Obai was from Huang Taiji, he didn't want to keep him at sea either. state.
Obai turned around, saluted Hauge again, and said, "Long live the Lord, I have one more thing to tell my subordinates to tell Prince Su."
"Speak." Hauge said in a bad tone.
The decree brought by Ao Bai did not satisfy him, because it required Daishan to guard Haizhou and seize Gaizhou and others in the future.
Although it sounds nice, it is obvious that he wants to give up on Gaizhou.
As a Hauge who has been looking forward to a good fight with the tiger-character flag, he naturally doesn't like such an order, so he doesn't have a good face towards Ao Bai who conveys the order.
As if he didn't see it, Obai continued: "Long live Prince Jiaosu, during your stay in Haizhou, you must strictly follow Prince Li's orders, and you are not allowed to send troops to Gaizhou privately without permission. "
"I know." Hauge said angrily, and then added, "Bring a message to Huang Ama, saying that I will protect Gaizhou for Huang Ama, and will also regain it for the Qing Dynasty in the future. Gaizhou.”
Oboi said: "I will bring the words to you."
After saying that, he bowed his hand to Li Daishan, and then returned to Shengjing with a group of guards.
As soon as the people left, Hauge looked at the backs of the guards as they left, and said: "Huang Ama is too cautious. As long as you give me 10,000 troops, even if I can't take Gaizhou City immediately, I can still take down Gaizhou City." All the military forts in Gaizhou were captured, leaving Gaizhou City an empty city."
However, no one responded to his words.
Everyone present who heard the decree understood that Huang Taiji had given up on Gaizhou City and did not forget to ask Oboi to beat Hauge to prevent Hauge from causing chaos in Gaizhou.
"Go back to Haizhou City!" Daishan said.
With the imperial edict, it was justifiable for him to control Hauge. It was almost impossible for Hauge to secretly lead his troops away like before.
Even if Hauge comes forward, the people below must carefully consider the price of violating the holy will.
The Qing army was stationed in Haizhou and no longer sent troops to Gaizhou. After the Tiger Banner captured Gaizhou, it no longer did anything to Haizhou. So far, more than half of the Liaodong Peninsula fell into the hands of the Tiger Banner.
The war came to an abrupt end, which disappointed Ming Dynasty, which had always wanted to reap the benefits.
The Tiger Banner and the Qing army went to war on the Liaodong Peninsula. The happiest person was the Ming Dynasty who retreated to Nanjing.
The Ming Dynasty couldn't do anything about the Tiger Flag, and they couldn't do anything about it when the Qing Dynasty was in Liaodong, but they always had the heart to reap the benefits.
Nanjing was the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and almost all the people with lofty ideals in the Ming Dynasty gathered here.
Of the four auxiliary ministers of the Ming Dynasty, three were born as nobles and one was born as an eunuch. Naturally, they were not supported by these ambitious people.
These people with lofty ideals gathered under the command of the first minister Qian Qianyi and began to fight against the four auxiliary ministers.
With the support of these people with lofty ideals, Qian Qianyi was naturally no longer willing to remain humble and small, and began to compete with the auxiliary ministers for power in the DPRK.
The emperor is too young and will not be able to participate in the government for more than ten years. Whoever can control the power in the court means that the power of the court will be in the hands of one person in the next ten years.
Even better than Zhang Taiyue.
Such a huge benefit, few people can compete for it.
After a period of calm among the four auxiliary ministers, they discovered that the Tiger-Character Banner did not continue to send troops south, so they turned from uniting against the Tiger-Character Banner to fighting for power among themselves to eliminate dissidents.
Everyone wants to compete for the position of the top four auxiliary ministers.
With the participation of a large number of officials from Jiangnan, the struggle between the DPRK and China expanded from the four auxiliary ministers to more officials in the DPRK and China.
In particular, there are many civil servants from the Donglin Party who are not willing to work under the so-called four auxiliary ministers. Naturally, other parties that have enmity with the Donglin Party will not choose to cooperate with the Donglin Party.
After all, the Donglin Party excludes dissidents and does not even leave a mouth for others to eat. No party is willing to join forces with them.
The civil servants in the Ming Dynasty were fighting among themselves, and the four major ministers were also fighting. The generals were also not idle, and began to support their troops everywhere. The military generals in places with a little strength were already obeying the orders of the imperial court.
The battle between the DPRK and the Central Government forced several auxiliary ministers to win over these generals and elevate their status, which made the generals look down on the imperial court even more.
Civil servants are worse at this.
Even if some civil servants try to win over military generals, they still have not changed their previous contempt for military generals, and still maintain a condescending attitude, which is very unpopular with military generals.
Without the external pressure of the Tiger Flag, the Ming Dynasty fell into a more chaotic situation than the Chongzhen Dynasty. Today, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is no different.
"Teacher, have you heard about the recent incident between the Qing army and the tiger bandits?" Ying Tianfu Prime Minister Qu Shichu said to Qian Qianyi.
At that time, he and Qian Qianyi were squeezed out of the court together by Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren. However, as the Ming Dynasty moved south to Nanjing, Qian Qianyi became the chief minister of the cabinet, and he also took advantage of the opportunity to become the Prime Minister of Yingtianfu.
Qian Qianyi shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that the Qing thieves didn't fight the tiger thieves and both sides would suffer."
"Teacher, don't feel sorry. The tiger bandits were able to fight the Qing army in the Liaodong Peninsula, and they will naturally continue to fight in the future. All the Ming Dynasty has to do is wait, and opportunities will naturally come to their door when the time comes." Qu Shishu said.
Qian Qianyi shook his head and said: "There is an opportunity, but Ming Dynasty may not be able to grasp it. If that day comes, Ming Dynasty misses the opportunity, and as the head of the hundred officials, I will become the sinner of the entire Ming Dynasty."
"Teacher, don't say that. Even if it does happen, it will be the fault of the four auxiliary ministers and has nothing to do with you, teacher." Qu Shichen said with relief.
Qian Qianyi sighed with sadness on his face and said: "Having said that, as the chief minister of the cabinet, I have a heavy responsibility. However, several auxiliary ministers just want to fight for power and gain to eliminate any objections, and completely forget about the affairs of the DPRK. My heart is very painful."
As he spoke, he looked up with tears in his eyes, looking pitiful.
