For several days, the Qing Emperor Huang Taiji's epistaxis did not improve, and he himself was restless and depressed.
If Huang Taiji had followed Huang Taiji's opinion, after issuing the decree that Prince Azige of Duoluowuying County should temporarily take over as the leader of the Manchuria White Flag, he would have wanted to gallop back to Shengjing to see Concubine Chen Hailanzhu.
However, he was stopped by Prince Li Daishan and other ministers, who all persuaded him that the war in Jinzhou was suffering setbacks and the outcome was pending. As the backbone of the army, he could not leave at this moment.
But on September 18th, Huang Taiji's epistaxis began to ease. He couldn't restrain his restless heart and insisted on going back to Shengjing despite the obstruction of Daishan and everyone else.
"Your Majesty, the entire Qing Dynasty is gathered here. How can we leave so easily? Who will be in charge of this place?"
Prince Li Daishan sat in the imperial palace and tried his best to dissuade Huang Taiji from his irrational behavior.
However, Huang Taiji didn't seem to listen. His condition was significantly better than in the past few days, there was some color on his face, and he was breathing very smoothly.
This may be the reason why he decided to get up immediately and return to Shengjing.
"Brother, there is no need to persuade me anymore. The pain in my heart right now is beyond what you can understand."
He stood up from the throne and walked forward, and gradually came under the carved window. It could be seen that he walked very easily, without any sign of illness. It was obvious that his body had almost recovered, at least on the outside.
Huang Taiji stood under the carved window of the palace, looked up at the dead branches outside the window, and said leisurely: "Even the trees outside the window have withered. She is alone in Shengjing, so how can she not be lonely? Now she is even more ill. How could I not be by her side?"
He turned around and said to Daishan and others: "How do you understand my heart?"
Huang Taiji walked quickly back to the throne, sat down again, and said to Prince Daishan and Prince Zheng Jierhalang in a serious tone: "During my return to Shengjing, the war in Jinzhou will be in charge of Prince Rui.
You two have always been prudent and have always been admired by me. This time you stayed outside Jinzhou City. Prince Xiang Zhurui fought fiercely with the Ming army. Although the Ming army was powerful, it was afraid of me like a tiger and could not act as one.
You can just form a formation and hold on, wait for its flaws to be revealed, and then attack. "
Daishan, Jierhalang and others were still trying to persuade them, but Huang Taiji waved their hands to stop them. They knew that Huang Taiji had made up his mind, and no matter how they tried to persuade them, it was useless.
Everyone had no choice but to retreat. However, Prince Zheng Jierhalang had just left the royal tent when he was quickly caught up by an old eunuch and called him back.
Ji'erharang knew very well that Huang Taiji had summoned him back, and naturally he had important matters to give him. Sure enough, when he walked into Huang Taiji's palace again, Ying'erdai, the Minister of Political Affairs and the Minister of Household Affairs, was already sitting here.
He hurried forward and sat down next to Ying'erdai. He first looked at each other and then looked at Huang Taiji on the throne with great concern, waiting for his instructions.
Huang Taiji spoke first: "I saw that you two were just about to say something but stopped talking, so I summoned you two back. What can I say?"
Prince Zheng Jierhalang spoke first: "Your Majesty, I know that I cannot dissuade the Emperor from returning to Shengjing, but at this critical moment of the war in Jinzhou, I cannot do without the Emperor."
Huang Taiji smiled, shook his head, and said to him: "I have made up my mind on this matter, and there is no need to discuss it further today."
Jilharang tilted his slightly fat head and glanced at Ying Erdai. Seeing that he was also shaking his head slightly to signal him, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
At this time, Huang Taiji continued: "I will call you two back. I have something to ask you to wait for me."
He took a breath and then continued: "After I leave Jin, you two will be my eyes and ears. No matter how big or small the matters here are, you will send letters to Shengjing to let me know."
"嗻!"
The two of them stood up almost at the same time and bowed slightly, which was regarded as a salute.
After Huang Taiji waited for them to sit down, he continued: "Ying'erdai, you are staying in Yizhou this time to urge the Mongolian tribes to send out troops and food for me. They promised me food and fodder for the soldiers, horses, and horses. All must arrive on time.
Then there are the farm slaves over there. Don’t mistreat them any more. As long as they can work hard and sincerely farm and collect food for our Qing Dynasty, they can settle down here.
Today is different from the past. If the Jinzhou war is delayed for a long time and the stalemate continues, it will be difficult for our army to maintain food and grass. This winter this year, I am afraid it will be difficult! "
He raised his head and looked at the dilapidated ceiling on the top of the imperial palace, and sighed: "When I went to war with the late emperor, the conditions were much more difficult than today. Didn't I survive the same battle?"
Huang Taiji withdrew his gaze and looked at Ying'erdai and Jierharang again. This time his eyes flashed again and he said loudly: "The situation is different from the past. We have Mongolian brothers in the north of the Qing Dynasty, and we have Mongolian brothers in the south. With North Korean allies and the help of the Han army's powerful guns and cannons, the advantage lies entirely with me.
But the Ming army is still as cowardly as before, fearing me like a tiger. Even with Zhang Cheng's Xuanfu soldiers and horses, they can still fight, but so what?
He only has more than 10,000 troops, does he still want to use this to turn the overall situation around? "
He took a breath and then said: "I will set off back to Shengjing early tomorrow morning. After everything is settled there, I will return to Jinzhou City. At that time, I will fire all my artillery fire to defeat Jinzhou City first, and then defeat the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty. .
Capture Hong Chengchou alive in one fell swoop, capture Zhang Cheng alive in Xuanfu, and pay homage to the spirits of our fallen warriors.
I, moreover, want to lead my warriors to conquer Ningyuan, break through Shanhaiguan, capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and seize his Han family's world! "
"The Emperor is wise and the Emperor is mighty."

In the early morning of September 19th, at dawn, a group of elite knights in bright helmets galloped out of the White Temple Fort.
They are all made of fine iron armor, the tops of their helmets are made of gourd-shaped iron leaves, their helmet tassels are made of red yak, and the dance qings, helmet beams, treasure covers, helmet plates, etc. on their helmets are all made of iron.
The neck protectors, ear protectors, and neck protectors are all made of cloth-covered iron armor. The outer surface is white satin like the body of the armor. The inner lining is lined with exquisite blue silk. The nails on the cloth-covered armor are all brass nails. .
This group of 500 elite cavalrymen turned out to be very rare white-armored soldiers. They whipped their horses all the way, and seemed to be very anxious, and ran eastward along the north bank of the Nuerhe River.
Outside the Baimiao Fort, Prince Daishan of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Zheng Jierharang, Minister of State Affairs, and Chief of Household Affairs Ying Erdai and other royal officials and generals were all looking eastward attentively, as if watching the group of elite cavalry leave.
It wasn't until the smoke and dust cleared in the distance and no trace of the knights could be seen anymore that they all returned to the White Temple Castle.
Although Daishan's body is still strong, he is sixty years old after all, so he walks very slowly. Perhaps he has adapted to the feeling of slow walking and can think about some problems while walking.
After walking for a while, he suddenly asked Jierhalang: "Prince Zheng, the emperor called you back yesterday, did you have any special instructions?"
Jierharang was stunned at first, and an incredible look flashed in his eyes: Daishan is so brave, he dares to put an informant next to the emperor!
But he immediately let go. With Daishan's strength and energy, it was actually not surprising that he placed some informants around Huang Taiji. But now he dared to mention the matter to himself without concealment. This was the problem. The point is.
Jierhalang didn't dare to go any further, so he put on a smile and said, "Prince Li, the emperor saw that I was hesitant to speak when he saw me discussing something, so he called me back.
I originally wanted to take advantage of the few people and persuade the emperor not to return to Shengjing at this time, but the emperor did not stop him and asked me to work together with Prince Li to help Prince Rui preside over the war in Jinzhou.
Apart from this, there are no other instructions. "
Daishan's face was full of smiles, but it felt a bit cold. He said lightly: "That's good, that's good."

The official road from Xiaolinghe Post to Dalinghe Fort is in dilapidated condition due to years of disrepair, and the big willow trees on both sides only have dead branches.
A group of white-armored knights were galloping on horseback, raising a cloud of smoke behind them. Occasionally, some dead leaves remaining on the branches fell into the billowing smoke with the wind.
In the middle of this team of white-armored knights, a middle-aged man wearing yellow armor and a yellow mink fur cloak stood out.
His fat figure is sitting on a horse, although it looks a little funny, but it is
