"Father, the thief has a plan!"
"Say what you think!"
"Father Khan, the Ming Dynasty has firearms at its disposal. It is far more lethal against infantry than cavalry. The greatest role of cavalry is to fight against cavalry. The Guan Ning cavalry can compete head-on with our Eight Banners Army.
Now that he is being transferred, he will definitely take action against the Mongolian tribes, but I don’t know which one.
But no matter which one it is, it is extremely beneficial to us. The destruction of one or two tribes will be a shock to the Mongolian tribes.
Those tribes that have betrayed the Ming Dynasty are now suffering from famine. Although we don't have much food reserves, we can still solve their urgent needs. They can only rely on us!
In other words, the day when Father Khan regains control of the big money is coming soon! "
"Are you so optimistic about the situation?"
Huang Taiji was very pleased, but still disapproving and said: "Why can you only rely on us? Can't you rely on Ming Dynasty?
We have limited food, and they must know that Ming Dynasty is a country with vast land and abundant resources, so it would be better to join Ming Dynasty than us! "
"Father Khan, I have studied all the policies of Chongzhen for more than a year. Although this person is good to the people, he hates people who have repeated yin and yang the most.
The Mongolian tribes betrayed the Ming Dynasty and united with us to attack the Ming Dynasty. If not for this mistake, we would have already reached Beijing.
How could Chongzhen forgive them for such a shame? The Kalaqin tribe is an example.
Even if you accept their surrender, you will only accept it when they have been completely crippled and have no ability to resist. Betrayal can only happen for the first time and countless times. "
"Then Chongzhen can pretend to accept their surrender first, weaken the strength of our alliance, and then kill them after solving us!"
"It's not impossible, but if the Ming Dynasty wants to surrender from all over the world, this kind of unattractive little trick cannot be used."
Having said this, Hauge still frowned, his eyes full of worry.
Huang Taiji asked curiously: "Hauge, you have analyzed it so thoroughly. Father Khan will also regain control of Daikin. What are you worried about?"
Listening to Huang Taiji asking himself, Hauge whispered: "Father, two things,
First, the development of the Ming Dynasty in the past year has far exceeded our expectations. Now we need money, food, and good soldiers and generals.
Although there are still many internal problems, the situation in the DPRK has stabilized, and its strength is far beyond what we can fight. I am worried that in a few years, they will forcefully destroy us with a million troops.
The second thing is food. There is a severe drought and famine in various tribes, and it is getting worse day by day in our territory of Dajin. Food prices in various cities are also rising quietly. Although we have food, we cannot sustain it for too long.
If we cannot supply food, will they... betray us during a great famine?
Without their support, our strength will be greatly reduced. What will we do if the Ming thief attacks? "
Listening to Hauge's analysis, Huang Taiji laughed loudly: "Hauge, my father is very pleased that you have finally grown up!"
"Father, at this juncture, do you still have the heart to laugh?"
"It doesn't matter, Father Khan has his own countermeasures for this matter!"
"Father Khan has a countermeasure, it's..."
Huang Taiji waved his hand and signaled him not to ask any more questions: "Go and notify Duduo now and ask him to be careful. The opportunity is coming soon. Leave the rest to Father Khan!"
"Hauge, you have to remember that when you take power in the future, loyalty and treachery are not the only criteria for hiring people.
There are many different situations for people who betray and surrender. People like Fan Wencheng are available and can be reused. People like Liu Xingzuo who jump repeatedly can just say one word, kill! "
"Father, I know!"
After Hauge left, Huang Taiji's eyes sparkled.
In the past six months, he seemed to be avoiding Daishan and the Mongolian tribes, but in fact he was trying to break the situation.
In other words, we are planning a huge layout.
Rather than planning, it is better to say that he was forced by Chongzhen.
Once successful, it will be enough to compete with Ming Dynasty in the future.
"Chongzhen, winning first does not count as winning, winning in the end is the real win. Let's see!"
Huang Taiji stared at the looming Shenyang City in the distance, murmured to himself, then leaned on a recliner and closed his eyes, continuing to think.
A day and a half later, Guan Ning's cavalry crossed Shanhaiguan, and countless forces were shocked and guessing for a while.
In this speculation, because the guards had prepared supplies along the way, Guan Ning's cavalry only took five days to reach the boundary of Beijing. Zhang Zhiji, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward.
"The last general, Zhang Zhiji, has met the two generals. They have worked hard along the way!"
"Young Master Zhang, you're welcome!"
Zhao Zhijiao and the other two did not show the slightest condescension. Although Zhang Zhiji was deprived of the hereditary qualification of British Duke by the emperor, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor trusted Zhang Zhiji extremely.
"Two generals, please come with us. The camp has been set up. After you two have settled in, please go to the palace to meet us immediately!"
"good!"
Hearing that they were about to enter the palace, Zhao Zhijiao and his two men immediately became serious, and followed Zhang Zhiji into the camp that had been arranged in advance by the Beijing camp.
Half an hour later, the two of them went straight to the palace under the guidance of several royal guards.
"Your Majesty, Zhao leads the teachings and He Kegang meets with your Majesty!"
The two men were wearing armor, and they simply bowed and clasped their fists in salute to Chongzhen. Chongzhen put down the memorial about the two people's past that was investigated by the Jin Yiwei.
"You two dear ladies are free of charge!"
After the two stood up straight, Chongzhen looked at them.
Zhao Shujiao's hair and beard have turned white, and his face has been weathered, but his eyes are still bright.
The results of Jinyiwei's investigation showed that there were both military exploits and mistakes. For example, when Liaoyang was conquered in the first year of Tianqi, he fled after the Liaoyang city was broken, and he was afraid when he regained Qiantunwei City in the second year of Tianqi, etc.
But two years after Tianqi, he made many military exploits.
You must know that Zhao Shujiao is already sixty years old at this moment. It is hard to say whether ordinary people can take care of themselves at this age, but Zhao Shujiao is still leading troops on the front line. This alone is enough to be admired!
As for He Kegang, Chongzhen didn't know much. He only knew that Chongzhen was trapped in the Daling River for four years. Zu Dashou wanted to surrender and persuaded He Kegang to come with him.
He Kegang angrily scolded Zu Dashou and would rather die than obey. Zu Dashou and the Houjin generals beheaded He Kegang, and his body was eaten by the hungry people in the city.
This alone is enough to prove this person's loyalty to the court.
This is why he personally asked Zhao Lejiao and He Kegang to personally lead Guan Ning's cavalry into Beijing.
When talking about the issue of Ningyuan and Jiannu, Zhao Shutiao, an old general in his sixties, blew his beard and stared, his beard trembling. Although He Kegang was also angry, he obviously felt a lot more reserved.
After chatting for a while, everything that should be verified has been verified, so Chongzhen stopped asking and went directly to the topic.
"My dear friends, in the coming time, you will have two main tasks!"
