Long before he succeeded to the throne, Huang Taiji had already decided to invade the Ming Dynasty.
There are two reasons.
One is to pave the way for the conquest of North Korea and prevent the Ming Dynasty from obstructing it.
The second is its own reasons.
"Since the beginning of spring, not a drop of rain has fallen and the earth has dried up. This year's food harvest will definitely fail."
Saharian reported the serious disaster.
Although there are many Han people in the country now, and Huang Taiji has always encouraged farming. However, agricultural production in Liaodong is still too weak. Once a natural disaster occurs, it will immediately suffer a devastating blow.
Huang Taiji had just proclaimed himself emperor, so he naturally did not want the people in the country to live in dire straits during the disaster.
This will be a huge blow to his prestige.
If your own production is insufficient, you can only find solutions from outside.
The weak and wealthy Ming Dynasty was naturally the best target for robbery.
While preparing for his enthronement, Huang Taiji began to plan to send troops.
"Master, this time you send out troops, you should take the initiative to ask for a fight."
Seeing Hauge sitting still, fascinated by the present, Fan Ji became extremely anxious.
Haug was still dissatisfied with his advice.
"What do you know, my slave? My father intends to entrust the Ministry of Household Affairs to my king. I have great power. As long as I do it well, everything will be fine."
Hearing this, Fan Ji complained endlessly.
"Master, you must not be confused. The sky is vast and the earth is vast, and the military power is the greatest. If your majesty can hand over the household department to the master, you can take it back. We in Manchuria built our country by martial arts, so naturally martial arts are the most important. But without martial arts by your side. , how can you convince others? Although your Majesty is young and powerful, the master also has to plan for the future."
Haug is a stick.
"Plans for the future? What are your plans? After long live Father Khan, will this country not belong to me?"
Fan Ji's eyes went dark, and he felt extremely upset inside.
Why did you follow such a stupid thing?
"His Majesty has never said who will be the successor, let alone established the position of crown prince."
When Hauge heard this, he became angry on the spot.
"Among the sons of Father Khan, how many contributions have I made? In terms of fighting ability, who can compare with me?"
Fan Ji quickly grabbed him and signaled to keep his voice down to prevent what he said from being spread.
"Master, please do not be careless. Your Majesty has already appointed the Borzigit woman as your queen, which has the name of orthodoxy. If they give birth to a prince for your Majesty, the son will be more valuable than the mother, and the master's position will not be so secure. .”
Hauge still wasn't nervous at all.
"Hmph, they are just two women. It would be easy for me to kill them."
What can Fan Ji do?
So far, there is no regret medicine.
"Although those two women are powerless, behind them is Horqin Mongolia. How can your majesty not give detailed consideration to whether Mongolia will return home or not?"
This time, Hauge finally listened.
He frowned, his heart pounding.
Although he is arrogant and arrogant, he also knows the importance of the various Mongolian tribes in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Why was Huang Taiji able to stand out from his brothers and inherit the throne?
In addition to its own real excellence, of course it also has the support of the Mongolian tribes.
Although he is Huang Taiji's eldest son, his mother has been abandoned long ago, so there is no one around Huang Taiji who can talk to him.
Fan Ji's voice sounded in his ears again.
"That Prince Rui is also my master's life-and-death enemy. The three brothers control the two white flags in their hands and have strong soldiers and horses, second only to your majesty. Master, what do you think... how do they compare?"
You can't mention Dorgon in front of Hauge, this is his rebellion.
Because Hauge also knew that Dorgon was the biggest stumbling block on his way to the throne.
If Dorgon hadn't been young at the time, Huang Taiji might not have been able to take the throne of Hou Jin.
In order to secure the position of the Great Khan and to deal with other big beile, Huang Taiji had to promise many powers and benefits to the three Dorgon brothers.
Because of this, Dorgon is now deeply entrenched and unshakable.
Moreover, Dorgon is far more scheming and prudent than him. In recent years, it has become even more famous and praised by everyone.
When he thought that there were so many difficulties on his way to the throne, Hauge couldn't help but feel depressed and wanted to go crazy on the spot.
Of course Fan Ji didn't do it just to anger him.
"Now the situation is clear. The master's opponents are mainly the women of Borzigit and Prince Rui. In addition, the master has no friendship with other Baile and princes. The road ahead will be difficult, so we must pay attention to it."
Hauge not only had few friends within the Manchus, he almost made enemies everywhere.
Everyone thought he was rude, barbaric, arrogant and arrogant, so they stayed away from him.
Now he is just a prince, nothing will happen to him. But once he competes for the throne in the future, he will definitely have no hope as he is surrounded by enemies on all sides.
Fan Ji worked tirelessly to persuade in detail, and finally made Hauge understand that his current situation was far from being as good as it seemed on the surface.
He is arrogant and his brain is not very bright. But in order to fight for the throne, opinions can still be heard.
"Dog slave, in your opinion, what should we do?"
Seeing that his master finally paid attention to his opinion, Fan Ji burst into tears and quickly cheered up.
"My slave has long said that of all the important points, military power is the most important. Now that our country, the Qing Dynasty, is at its peak, it is the time to expand its territory, and all power comes from the battlefield. The master can only send more troops to fight and perform more meritorious deeds. , let His Majesty see your ability, and then he will rely more on you. Besides, as long as the military power is in hand, when there is a big change in the future, the master will be able to protect himself safely even if he does not go further. "
Haug thought carefully and finally understood what he meant.
"Okay, I will go to see my father Khan immediately and ask to lead the army to go to war."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Fan Ji quickly stopped him, feeling very tired.
"Master, please remember to call me Father Emperor, not Father Khan."
Hauge was quite impatient.
"I have always called you "Father Khan", but you are making a lot of noise."
Fan Ji just wanted to cry.
"Your Majesty is the most powerful person in the world and the co-lord of the world. Although he and his master are related by blood and family, the emperor is aloof and different from ordinary people. Master, please remember to be as obedient as possible. Also, you can only ask for it, not ask for it. What His Majesty gives you is yours."
Hauge listened blankly, feeling like his mind was in chaos.
This winding and dense cobweb was really difficult for him.
Fortunately, he also knew that Fan Ji would never harm him. Although he didn't quite understand, he still nodded and agreed.
Fan Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly explained carefully.
"When the master meets with His Majesty, he must not mention the matter of leading troops. All he needs to do is say that he will follow Prince Wuying and that he is willing to be a pawn in front of the battle."
Hauge exploded when he heard this.
"What? Let me give Azig a baby, is he worthy?"
Fan Ji was dizzy and grabbed Hauge's arm tightly. It took him a long time to regain his breath.
"Master, please think about it carefully. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and is about to send troops to conquer the Ming Dynasty. There are many princes, why did you choose only Prince Wuying to lead the army? Not to mention that Prince Wuying is your uncle. I can't understand this. , the master is in danger!"
