On Jierhalang's side, the rebel generals of the Ming Dynasty circled around him. They came all the way and talked to Jierhalang from time to time, like a pug in front of their master, always surrounding him to please him. It wasn't until he saw Azig and the others approaching that he corrected his posture and stepped back a lot.
Even though Chai Shihua felt that he had made great contributions, he was still afraid of being criticized by Azige and did not dare to be noticed by Azige in front of him.
As soon as the leaders of both sides met, there was no need to say how many polite words and flattery they said. Of course, they were all directed at the protagonist, Jilharang.
However, Jierhalang's temperament is calm, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and appears to be very stable. However, when they met, he praised Azige first, saying that he did a good job here, attracting the attention of Ming Dynasty, Ningxia The Ming army over there was indeed unprepared, making it easy for him to succeed.
These words made Azig feel very comfortable. It made him feel more comfortable than those of the Mongolian tribe leaders. After all, Jilharang is the prince and the leader here. His endorsement is the greatest recognition of his contribution.
While Ji'erhalang was talking, he suddenly saw that Ying'erdai was there. He immediately turned serious and asked Ying'erdai seriously: "But what is your Majesty's will?"
Ying'erdai listened and nodded. Just when he was about to speak, he saw Jierhalang immediately dismounted from his horse, straightened his appearance, then knelt down and said loudly: "I respectfully listen to your Majesty's decree, long live my emperor." ,Long live,Long live!”
Seeing this situation, everyone was stunned. I didn't expect this sudden move. Should I be so pious and let Ying Erdai announce the decree differently? As for what?
But thinking about it, Jierhalang knelt down, and naturally others had to follow suit.
So, in the end, there was a large area kneeling on the entire grassland, and only Ying Erdai was standing.
Oh, by the way, those cows and horses were also standing, not kneeling!
In her heart, Ying'erdai secretly praised Jierhalang's reaction. After returning, she would tell the emperor that Jierhalang's loyalty was beyond words.
Therefore, he was forced to take out Huang Taiji's will and read it directly.
When everyone heard this, they were all delighted.
Why?
Because Huang Taiji wanted something big here, and it was tepid, so how could he contain the Ming Kingdom?
No, didn't Jierhalang just lead the army and give the Ming Dynasty a severe blow? This is the best deal ever!
Therefore, after Ying Erdai read out Huang Taiji's imperial edict and went through the process, he smiled and said to Jierhalang: "Your Majesty will be very happy after knowing the battle situation on His Highness's side."
Ji'erhalang was not at all proud, but replied humbly: "These are all what the king should do. It is already something that a minister shouldn't do if His Majesty issued an imperial edict to urge him. He did not give the Ming Dynasty a heavy blow as early as possible. It’s because I didn’t do a good enough job!”
When he spoke like this, everyone admired him even more. He was worthy of being a famous general of the Qing Dynasty!
Back in Guihua City, Jierhalang said he wanted to change his armor, but in fact, he just made an excuse and asked Ying Erdai to follow him to the back office.
Just as soon as he entered, he saw Ji'erharang and immediately asked Ying'erdai seriously: "What happened in Liaodong? Is there any movement of the Ming army? Could it be that something happened to the Dongjiang army?"
Jierhalang knew Huang Taiji too well. If nothing had happened in Liaodong, he believed that Huang Taiji would never have sent Ying Erdai to rush him based on his understanding of him. After all, fighting cannot be forced, you must have a fighting chance.
When Ying Erdai heard this, he couldn't help but admire Jierhalang in his heart. Azig did not have this reaction.
So, he told everything that happened after Jierhalang left Liaodong, including Huang Taiji's proposal from Fan Wencheng, using the King of Virtue's Proposal to confuse the Guan Ning Army and the Dongjiang Army, and suddenly launching an attack on North Korea. war. And the subsequent Battle of Pyongyang, the Battle of Tashan, and the Ming Emperor's bluffing, which led to the failure of the Pyongyang War and the transfer of the main force of the Qing Dynasty back to Liaodong.
Ji Erhalang listened to the news silently without any interruption, just letting Ying Erdai talk. Even when Ying Erdai finished speaking, he was silent for a while.
When Ingard was telling him, he was naturally observing.
Even though Jierhalang has a calm temperament and usually doesn't talk much and is calm, but at this time, Ying Erdai could clearly feel that Jierhalang was very shocked.
In fact, Ying Erdai was indeed right. Jilharang's inner world at this time was in turmoil. He could no longer keep things in his heart and act calm like before.
You know, the Qing Dynasty has always won many battles and basically never failed. From a small tribe in Liaodong, he eventually became the king who ruled Liaodong. The war with the Ming Dynasty was fought against the Ming Dynasty.
Although Dorgon lost the battle of Tianjin, he still plundered more than 200,000 livestock and returned to Liaodong. Later, the Qing Dynasty also failed in the Battle of Lushun. But that's because he doesn't want to pay a high price, otherwise, the Ming army will definitely be driven into the sea. The most important thing is that the Qing Dynasty was not good at water warfare, let alone naval warfare. Lushun had an escape route by sea, so the Qing Dynasty was right to leave it alone.
However, what he never expected was that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would personally conquer Liaodong and annihilate Dorgon's troops in Tashan in just one night. Even Dorgon was captured. Then he actually used very timely means to affect the Battle of Pyongyang, causing the main forces of the Qing Dynasty to rush back and forth in vain.
Thinking of this, he remembered the previous destruction of the Tumut Mongolian tribe, which was also the result of the Ming Emperor's personal conquest.
When did this Ming emperor become so powerful? Jierhalang thought with great surprise, even if he were replaced by Huang Taiji as the Ming Emperor, he would definitely not be able to achieve such brilliant results in two personal campaigns like the Ming Emperor, right?
"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Ying Erdai waited for a long time, but still didn't see Jierhalang's reaction, so she couldn't help but whisper.
After being called out by him, Jilharang came back to his senses, thought about it in his mind, and began to ask about the specific details of the war.
When Ying Erdai heard this, he answered everything he could.
After Jierhalang was silent for a while, he stared into Ying Erdai's eyes and asked, "Have you met the Emperor of Ming, right? Based on your feelings, what do you think of the Emperor of Ming?"
It can be said that what Ying Erdai didn't want the most was the shame of his life, that is, being captured by the Ming army. But at this time, it was Prince Zheng who asked him, and it was obvious that he was not deliberately trying to laugh at him, but was analyzing the Ming Emperor.
Therefore, Ying Erdai recalled what he had hidden deep in his memory, and then replied seriously: "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has the ability to see into people's hearts and must not be underestimated!"
Hearing this, Jierhalang was surprised. The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom had not just ascended the throne. His previous behavior was more like an incompetent emperor. How could he suddenly become so powerful?
As if he knew what Ji'erharang was thinking, Ying'erdai added: "There is a piece of news, I don't know whether it is true or not. It is said that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty dreamed of the founder of the Ming Dynasty, and taught him his skills in the dream. Therefore, after waking up, it was like a completely different person, becoming... as capable as the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty."
"How is this possible!" Jierhalang blurted out subconsciously after hearing this.
However, he was immediately stunned. Although he had never experienced dreaming about his ancestors, dreaming about his close elders was something he had experienced. For example, he once dreamed of Nurhaci. However, he had never dreamed of someone who taught and taught him skills in his dream.
However, if you haven’t dreamed it yourself, does that mean others won’t dream it? With this thought in his mind, Jierhalang became a little suspicious again.
The Han people have always had a tradition of worshiping their ancestors, and there seem to be many legends about gods or ancestors giving guidance to future generations in their dreams.
Thinking about this, Jierhalang was a little surprised to find out, is this about the Ming Emperor true? Is it true that God bless the Ming Dynasty? Then... what about the Qing Dynasty?
The ancestors of the Khans asked for dreams, but they couldn't hold back the Ming Dynasty's Taizu's dreams, right? Or go even further and ask for a dream from Wan Yan Agu?
After a while, Jierhalang realized that he had thought too far and had to retract his somewhat chaotic thoughts. His face became a little solemn and he said: "It seems that this Ming emperor is really difficult to deal with!"
"Yes, when the Dongjiang Army was restarted, it was still led by Lu Xiangsheng, who was capable of both literary and military skills. He sent elite soldiers and strong generals. This kind of strategy was not something that the previous Ming emperors could have come up with." Ying Erdai also sighed with emotion. He said, "It seems that the legend of Taizu's dream may not be true!"
At this time, Jierhalang could already understand why Huang Taiji sent Ying Erdai to convey the order to him. It was really the pressure from Liaodong. Facing the pincer attack of Guan Ning Army and Dongjiang Army, the pressure was too great. .
With this in mind, he sternly told Ying Erdai: "There is no need to spread the news about Liaodong. Including the subordinates you brought, you must also let them keep their mouths shut. Otherwise, it will definitely affect the Mongolian tribes' relationship with the outside world." The confidence of our Qing Dynasty affects the stability of the morale of our Qing Dynasty army!"
After hearing this, Ying Erdai nodded immediately to express his understanding. The Qing Dynasty was able to overwhelm the Mongolian tribes from east to west on the grassland because it was invincible. But if the Qing Dynasty also lost one battle after another, it would inevitably weaken the shock to the Mongolian tribes. In this case, it is difficult to say whether they will still listen to the Qing's command and whether they will surrender to the Qing. Maybe, they may even vote for the Ming Kingdom. Whoever makes the Ming Kingdom rich and powerful, and if they can win the war, they will definitely be willing to be the dogs of the Ming Kingdom.
As for the defeat in Liaodong, even if it did not reach the ears of the Mongols, it only spread among the soldiers of the Qing army. They all came on an expedition, so they would definitely be worried about their home in Liaodong, and their military morale would also be unstable.
Thinking of this, Ying'erdai frowned and said to Jierhalang again: "Your Highness, but after all, things have happened. Paper cannot cover the fire. News from Liaodong will spread sooner or later. Come here. If the general’s prediction is good, the Ming Dynasty will take the initiative to publicize these things."
Jierhalang couldn't help but sigh in his heart after hearing this. How could he not know this situation?
But on the surface, he said to Ying Erdai with confidence: "It would rather be later. There are rumors in the Ming Dynasty that this is an enemy country's statement, so it cannot be trusted. In addition, I believe that with your majesty's brilliance and martial prowess, We will definitely find a way to solve the current predicament. As long as my Qing Dynasty continues to win consecutively and occasionally loses a few battles, it will be insignificant. No, didn’t I just win a great victory!"
"Your Highness is right, I admire you!" After hearing this, Ying Erdai, although she may not think so in her heart as Ji Erhalang said, but on the surface, it cannot increase the morale of others and destroy her own prestige. Therefore, he responded in agreement.
However, Jilharang himself changed the topic and said a little seriously: "I have now won a great victory. With the ability of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely make changes. More spies must be sent there. It’s better to inquire about the news within the pass! You are cautious by nature and have experience in dealing with all races. I’ll leave it to you to make arrangements at this time.”
"Hey!" As soon as Ying Erdai heard that there was a military order given to him, he immediately knelt down to accept the order.
They were talking in the back, and the leaders of the Jianlu and Mongolian tribes waiting in the lobby in front became a little impatient. Especially the leaders of the Mongolian tribes, they are greedy for so many spoils and are eager to share the spoils so that they can take them back to the tribe as soon as possible.
You know, when more than 10,000 troops of the Qing Dynasty came to Guihua City, the usual food and supplies were shared by several of their tribes. As for their tribes, they all live a tight life, and now they have to bear so many extra burdens. The tribe has long been living a miserable life, no, it is worse than a dog. At least dogs have their owners to feed them, but they have to find food for their owners.
If the left person can't come out and the right person can't come out, how can they not be in a hurry and start guessing what they are doing inside? They even guessed that Ying Erdai seemed to be more handsome.
Azig was also a little impatient with waiting. This time was enough for him to get some sleep. He had had enough rest no matter what, right? Waiting like this, how long will it take?
Thinking like this, he wanted to go in and take a look. With his status, even if he went in, Jierhalang wouldn't say anything, not to mention, Jierhalang had just said it himself, first of all. The merit belongs to Azig.
Just when Azig wanted to go in, Ying Erdai came out first, followed closely by Ji Erhalang. Judging from the expressions on their faces, neither of them seemed to have the expression they should have after a great victory. Even though Jilharang seemed to have a smile on his face, many people noticed that this smile seemed a bit fake.
Could it be that they had a quarrel?
