When Turg heard that they actually doubted him, he couldn't help but became furious. No matter what, he is their master. This is really contrary. There are slaves who dare to question their master!
However, before he could express his anger, he saw fire dragons advancing in three directions: southeast, southeast and west. Needless to say, they were pursued by the Ming army all night long!
"Damn it, is the Ming Army crazy?" When Gu Luge saw it, he was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and he cursed in horror, "The Ming Army in the past was not so active?"
"Yeah, chasing all night and burning so many torches, don't you feel bad?" Hang Gao's angle was a bit strange, but he also expressed his doubts about the Ming army's overnight pursuit.
After the two of them finished speaking, they looked at each other, and then looked at Turg together, thinking, could they be trying to catch him?
Turg had no time to care about their attitude at this time. Looking at the fire dragons, his eyes lit up and he said immediately: "Quick, organize an ambush with archers immediately. How dare you pursue them all night long? Just in time for revenge!"
At this time, the other Tumut bandits had naturally seen the three long dragons. They had been ambushed by the Ming army and had already become frightened. Moreover, seeing so many torches at this time simply lit up the sky in northern Shaanxi again. .
So, before the military order was passed, some people started running back and forth. If someone takes the lead, others will naturally follow, and it will soon affect everyone.
Guluge and Hanggao didn't trust Turge very much at first. When they looked at their men again, they suddenly thought that there was an ambush. If they didn't run away quickly, what would they do if they were surrounded?
It was a good thing that Turg was Gu Shan'e's real identity, otherwise, these two people would not care about him. However, at this time, they were still somewhat worried about Liaodong Jianlu, but they just said hello and ran away quickly.
Turg looked very helpless. He finally saw it clearly. No wonder why these Tumut tribes couldn't even defeat the Chahar tribe. Fortunately, they had produced famous figures like Anda Khan! Today's Tumut Department is simply a bunch of pigs!
Thinking like this, he had no choice but to run away. Even if you don't run away, you can't stay here and become a prisoner of the Ming army, right?
At the same time, in Liaodong, Huang Taiji, who had been busy for a day, just arrived at Guanju Palace, saw his favorite Concubine Chen, and said with a smile: "Concubine Chen, I just finished dealing with 200,000 slaves, and I specially kept a few. You are a clever slave girl, please give it to Guanju Palace later, okay?"
This concubine Chen is the famous Hai Lanzhu in history. She, her aunt, and her sister all married Huang Taiji successively. Her sister was the later famous Xiaozhuang, but at this time, she was the most favored. If she hadn't died early, nothing would have happened to Xiaozhuang.
At this time, she had just lost her son last year and was very sad. Huang Taiji knew that she liked Han people to talk to each other, so he said this, hoping that the Han female slaves could talk to her to relieve her boredom and make her mood better.
But who would have thought, Hai Lanzhu shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, I already have enough manpower here. Looking at them, thinking of their family being ruined, I... I think of my miserable emperor. Son!"
"..." Huang Taiji was dumbfounded. He couldn't help but be silent for a while, and then a smile appeared on his fat face and said, "Concubine Chen, I have captured the Ming Dynasty King this time. Otherwise, let the Ming Dynasty King come and dance for my beloved concubine." How about a dance? This is the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty. Concubine Chen will watch it. I will capture the emperor of the Ming Dynasty again one day and ask him to dance for Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen will comment on their dancing skills. Okay? Haha..."
Having said this, he was very excited just thinking about it. Maybe it would come true one day!
To be honest, he was very excited to capture the Ming Dynasty vassal king this time. After all, no one from the Ming Dynasty royal family had been captured before.
There was just one thing that made him very dissatisfied. Hauge actually put all the princesses to bed in advance, otherwise...
Thinking of this, he looked at the charming Concubine Chen in front of him, thought about it, and decided to forget it. In his heart, there was only Concubine Chen.
Huang Taiji's words still did not arouse Hai Lanzhu's interest, and the smile accompanying him looked very fake at first glance. This made Huang Taiji stop laughing. He thought in his mind and said, "Forget it that Concubine Chen doesn't like to watch men dance. How about I call those princes and princesses over and let them serve Concubine Chen?"
Think about it, if you let the concubine of the Ming Dynasty vassal serve you, only Concubine Chen in the world would be treated like this.
There was no expression on Concubine Chen's face that Huang Taiji wanted, which let Huang Taiji know that she, Concubine Chen, was still immersed in the pain of losing her son.
He originally thought that these things about the Ming vassal king would somewhat distract Concubine Chen from her grief, but looking at it now, it was useless. This time, he even lost interest in the Ming Dynasty vassal king. He looked at Hai Lanzhu a little distressedly, still trying to think of how to make her happy.
But at this moment, there were hurried footsteps outside. At the door of the palace, a chamberlain stopped and reported eagerly: "Your Majesty, the left wing of the Hetao Tumote tribe, Gu Luge, and the right wing Hang Gao jointly submitted a memorial, indicating that The captives such as Hulu Shiturge and other captives, who used the national flag to solidify the mountain forehead with a white flag, asked them for thousands of fine war horses. They have agreed."
Upon hearing this, Huang Taiji couldn't help being surprised, and Hai Lanzhu couldn't help being surprised too. He completely forgot about his sadness, and a look of curiosity appeared on his face. He looked up at the door of the palace, and then looked at Huang Taiji.
That Turge of Niu Hulu clan, Hai Lanzhu also knew, was now captured by the Ming Dynasty? Didn't even the Ming vassal kings be captured when they entered the customs this time? How come in the Qing Dynasty, even Gushan Ezhen was captured?
Huang Taiji came back to his senses and frowned subconsciously. When he was about to leave, he suddenly saw Hai Lanzhu's rare expression of surprise, forgetting his sadness. This made him happy, so he didn't rush to deal with the matter, but gave it to him. Hai Lanzhu explained: "Dorgon was careless. He was attacked by the Ming army on the way out of the customs and lost some of his troops."
"Your Majesty, you don't need to explain to me, it's important to deal with state affairs." Hai Lanzhu came back to his senses, forced a smile, and said to Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw that she had returned to her previous look, with sadness in her eyes again. By some strange coincidence, the big fat man suddenly thought, would my concubine feel better when she heard that the Qing Dynasty was defeated?
Of course, this thought just flashed through his mind. Under Hai Lanzhu's persuasion, he left and summoned his confidant Fan Wencheng to discuss the latest news.
When Fan Wencheng heard the news and rushed to learn about the situation, he was very surprised. He didn't expect that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty did not sacrifice the prisoners to the Ancestral Temple, but instead went so far to exchange war horses with the Tumote tribe in Hetao. This was a lot of consumption on the road alone, right?
Thinking about this, he frowned for a moment. It was really very different from what he knew.
Seeing him like this, Huang Taiji suddenly became suspicious and asked quickly: "Fan Qing, do you have a question?"
Hearing the question, Fan Wencheng raised his head, looked at Huang Taiji and said: "Master, the Ming Dynasty was so short of war horses that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would rather not sacrifice prisoners to the Ancestral Temple, but go to northern Shaanxi to make peace with the Tu Mert's troops exchange for a thousand war horses?"
After hearing this, Huang Taiji also felt that there was something wrong. He pondered for a while and said slowly: "According to what Dorgon told me, in the Battle of Tianjin, the Ming army rode on mules and donkeys and other livestock. From this point of view In other words, maybe the Ming Dynasty really lacks war horses."
At this point, he remembered something again and continued to add: "The reason why the bandits in the Ming Dynasty are bandits is because they have horses and can run around quickly. Didn't the Ming Dynasty have horse politics? Although it is just a formality, it is still good There are still some horses, maybe they were obtained by bandits and divided among the war horses of the Ming Dynasty court, so the Ming Dynasty may indeed be short of horses."
Hearing this, Fan Wencheng became even more confused, and expressed his doubts to Huang Taiji: "But as far as I know, the Ming Dynasty, from the emperor to the court officials, all put face first." Thousands of war horses can't change anything, so why would the Ming Emperor do such a thing?"
Huang Taiji listened and nodded, agreeing with his doubts. However, he thought about it for a long time, but he just couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.
Didn't he never consider whether Mingguo was trying to trick him? However, this has no special connection with exchanging prisoners for war horses!
Just when Huang Taiji thought of this, Fan Wencheng happened to think of it too, expressed this idea, and then guessed: "Unless there are internal agents from the Ming Dynasty among these prisoners, they can spread the news to the pass, so that the Ming army can grasp the movements of the left and right wings of the Tumote tribe. , otherwise, it will be useless even if the Ming army comes out of seclusion!"
After hearing this, Huang Taiji categorically shook his head and said: "That's impossible! Those who exchanged war horses are all my Qing warriors. Why would they become the internal agents of the Ming Dynasty? Even if someone is unreliable, Turge is not Those who have no eyesight will definitely be able to detect it. Even if you take a step back and don't notice it, it is absolutely impossible to send the message back in time on the vast grassland!"
Fan Wencheng listened and nodded. This was not flattering, but he really felt that what Huang Taiji said made sense. But this way, the doubts could not be resolved, which made him even more confused. Did the Ming Dynasty really get the benefit of being short of a thousand war horses?
Really unable to understand, he had no choice but to suggest to Huang Taiji: "Master, why don't you send someone to Jin to inquire about the situation?"
The merchants from Shanxi and Shanxi were all wiped out in one fell swoop, but the Liaodong side received no news at all.
After hearing this, Huang Taiji nodded and said: "Speaking of which, the cavalry from Jin has not come yet. I am still waiting for those grain and grass supplies! That's good. Send someone to urge them. By the way, ask Ming Guo. Condition."
After he finished speaking, he pondered for a moment and then asked Fan Wencheng: "You are a Han, and you will know more about the Han people. I have in my hands the virtuous king and the clan members of the Ming Dynasty. Can you see how much benefit I can get?"
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty actually traded Turge and others for war horses. This incident gave him a reminder. Instead of raising these Ming clan members, unable to plow the fields or do other work, and wasting the Qing grain in vain, it would be better to make use of it at least!
Hearing this, Fan Wencheng seemed to have thought about this matter, and immediately replied: "The loss of the sect is a matter of the emperor's face, and he must... must be furious. If the master exchanges for peace and prosperity on the condition of Prince De and others, Mutual trade between countries may be feasible. Of course, the Jin region must also create momentum with the Ming Dynasty court, so that everyone in the Ming Dynasty court feels that mutual trading with the Qing Dynasty will not only save King De and others, but also deal with The Ming Dynasty has the advantage of allowing them to concentrate on dealing with domestic bandits, so I think this can be done!"
When he was speaking, he stuttered because when he mentioned that the Ming Emperor wanted face, he thought of exchanging war horses with Turge and others. This seemed to be about benefits rather than face, so he stuttered. . But in the end, he still said it according to his own ideas.
Trading with the Ming Dynasty was something Huang Taiji had been working hard on. Because once there is mutual trade, it means that the Ming Dynasty has recognized the Qing Dynasty. The most important thing is that Liaodong is bitterly cold and has a shortage of materials. If enough materials are imported, I believe the Qing Dynasty's strength will grow quickly. Those plundered populations can be transformed into the Qing's combat power as quickly as possible. When you are strong enough, you can find any excuse to break the contract and continue to invade the customs.
Huang Taiji heard Fan Wencheng's analysis at this time and felt that if he could use King De and other Ming Dynasty clans as an introduction to achieve the goal he wanted, he would naturally be happy.
So, Huang Taiji clapped his hands, looked at Fan Wencheng and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, don't worry!"
"With the master's grace, I will definitely do my best to accomplish this!" Fan Wencheng showed a grateful expression, shook off his horse's hoof sleeves, beat them one by one, and promised from the bottom of his heart.
After he left, Huang Taiji suddenly sighed. That Turge, when he comes back, must be severely punished. The dignified Gushan Ezhen turned out to be a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty, and was even used as a rare commodity by the Ming Dynasty in exchange for war horses. used!
He naturally did not expect that Turge was trying his best to escape at this time, just to avoid becoming a prisoner of the Ming Kingdom again.
After running for a whole night and then a whole morning, he finally got rid of the Ming Dynasty's pursuers.
All the bandits from Tumut's tribe couldn't wait to get off their horses to rest, and also to restore their horses' strength.
Turge was no exception, but when he looked at the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty in the distance in front of him, he suddenly froze again. Because he discovered that this was the place where he originally entered the customs.
If it were before, he wouldn't think there was anything wrong. In fact, when he first entered the customs, he decided to return to the grassland from here. But at this time, he already understood in his heart that he had fallen into Ming Gou's trick when he entered the customs this time. That is to say, the Ming Dynasty pursued and blocked them from three directions, but they still blocked them here. There is something strange about this!
While he was thinking about it, the two men on the left and right sides of Tumut's tribe came over, their faces looking very ugly. If Turge hadn't been surrounded by the original Jurchen prisoners from Jianzhou, they would have accidentally caused Turge to be killed by the Ming army.
But now that there is no chance, Guluge has no choice but to say to Turge: "Sir, there is the pass ahead. Once we get out of the pass, we will be safe. This... that, this way, our Tumut Department will suffer too heavy losses this time. , Sir, take a look..."
