Daishan, who seemed to be sleeping when he heard the Queen Mother speak, immediately opened his eyes. Instead of following the example of those young people who ignored the Queen Mother and directly expressed their opinions, he turned to face the little emperor, bowed respectfully, and then replied in a low voice: "The Qing Dynasty needs to establish its prestige, and the Qing Dynasty also needs to win a battle. Otherwise, the people will be dispersed, and the tribes will be difficult to manage. If the Qing Dynasty did not have these allies from various grassland tribes, it would be too difficult to deal with the Ming Dynasty!"
Hearing this, Azig suddenly perked up and said, "So, we are going to kill the chickens and monkeys, and exterminate the Haraqin tribe? Haha, that's what I just said!"
"I am the first one to propose this idea, okay?" Hauge said loudly as soon as he heard it.
Yue Tuo glanced at his father, with a hint of dissatisfaction evident in his eyes. In fact, sometimes he regretted why he worked so hard to save this dead old man, and why his father sided with Huang Taiji's lineage.
At this time, hearing Daishan say that he wanted to establish his authority and win, he couldn't help but retort: "The army is about to move. Where is the food? Where will the food come from?"
"Yes, the food for Sauron's Northern Expedition was all collected with great difficulty." Duduo was also unwilling and immediately followed.
Dai Shan glanced at the two of them and said calmly: "If you work together, there will always be something. Over in North Korea, when the time is almost up, you can also send a cavalry army to sweep up, and you should be able to get some food."
"Yes, there will always be something if you work together, what are you afraid of?" Azig was excited when he heard it, and immediately said loudly, "If the Haraqin tribe dares to have different intentions, they must be eliminated. Otherwise, where is the majesty of the Qing Dynasty? Can you still command the grassland?"
When he said this, he seemed to remember that there was an emperor above him, so he turned to face Fulin and said righteously: "Leave this matter to me, I will definitely win the battle and destroy the Karaqin tribe."
Fulin looked at him with a sinister look on his face, his mouth split open, and he wanted to cry. Fortunately, Bumu Butai spoke first, alleviating his fear and preventing him from crying: "In that case, then..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw Daishan shake his head, and immediately she couldn't speak any more.
Bumubutai understood that she did not understand such important military matters, but Daishan definitely understood, and he was on her side, and what he said must be for his side. Therefore, she changed her words and asked, "I wonder what Prince Li thinks?"
This question is about whether Azig should be allowed to lead the army in the expedition?
It was about his military power. Azig immediately turned his head to look at Daishan, staring at him as if he wanted to eat Daishan.
However, Daishan simply ignored him and just replied to Bumbutai: "What the old minister said was not to annihilate the Karaqin tribe, but to use the Karaqin tribe to draw out the Ming army and win a big victory over the Ming army. Only in this way can the military power of the Qing Dynasty be revitalized. If we only annihilate the Karaqin tribe, we will win without force, and the original Karaqin tribe in Liaodong will still have complaints against the Qing Dynasty."
Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised. They didn't expect that Daishan actually wanted to provoke the Ming army and defeat the Ming army?
"How to fight?" Duduo was the first to react and asked immediately.
He was extremely unconvinced that the Qing Dynasty had been defeated by the Ming army several times in a row. Secretly, he thought several times that if he were in charge, he would never lose the battle!
Several people in the hall, as well as Hauge, had never suffered a defeat at the hands of the Ming army. Therefore, he followed Duoduo and said: "Yes, we should give the Ming army a good deal. It's really been three days." If you hit him, the sky will reveal the tiles!"
After hearing this, Yue Tuo glanced at him, despising him for being a pig who couldn't even speak a word.
Daishan didn't care, as long as he understood what Hauge meant. He slowly looked around at the people present and said in a positive tone: "The most important reason why the Ming army can defeat our Qing army is that the Jinyiwei spies will send our news out. Therefore, as long as the matter is top secret, no If the Jin Yiwei secret agents know, then the battle will be half successful!"
"That's an easy thing to say!" When Yue Tuo heard this, he immediately objected to his father, "Why didn't the late emperor know this? He arranged it secretly. In the end, the Dongjiang Army was not fooled, but Jinzhou was lost!"
Upon hearing this, Daishan immediately remembered the scene where his subordinates were forcing him to surrender to the Ming army at the top of Jinzhou City, and his face suddenly turned red. Fortunately, he was not as fat as Huang Taiji, and his blood was not strong enough. There was no sign of being so angry that he vomited blood. He just took a deep breath and suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and said calmly: "If the next war is going to be fought only by us, Several people in the palace know about it, so can the spies from Jinyiwei still get the news?"
Upon hearing this, Haug, Azig, Duduo and others looked at each other and shook their heads. If these members of the Aixinjueluo family can reveal information to Mingguo, then why fight!
However, Yue Tuo still had doubts, so he asked him: "What happened last time was reported to Geng Zhongming, who was responsible for the specific work, but his people revealed the information. We who are present will not reveal the information, so how can we guarantee it?" There are no Jinyiwei spies among the people below, so why won’t they reveal the information?”
"Yes!" This time, even Obai, who stood in front of Fulin like a piece of wood and said nothing, couldn't help but echoed.
At this time, he was the young emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Bumu Butai's absolute confidant, the guard commander of the two yellow flags, and the chief guard of the palace. Although he is not a prince, the weight is definitely not lighter than these princes.
Others also looked at Daishan with doubts, wondering how he could solve this problem.
Daishan didn't hesitate at all, and immediately uttered four words: "Use the trick!"
"Why do you want to use your own tactics?" Hauge yelled a little dissatisfied when he heard this, "Can you speak more clearly?"
If it was not his turn to be the emperor, Daishan would have a great responsibility. Therefore, he was not so polite to speak to Daishan.
Daishan was not angry, he could feel his son's hostility, so what did the hostility from Hauge mean? He just heard him say: "The Ming Governor Ji Liao didn't want to sow discord between the grassland tribes and the Qing Dynasty. , is there still a one-month deadline? Take advantage of this, but do not wipe out the pressure on the Karaqin tribe. Just wait for a month for the Ming army to send troops to the grassland, and then send out cavalry to defeat the grassland with lightning speed. The enemy. To be specific..."
It was obvious that he had thought everything over, and when he said it one by one, no one questioned him. After he finished speaking, he asked: "This way we can keep it secret. If the Ming army cannot arrange it in advance, then it will definitely not be our Qing Dynasty." Allied rivals!”
After listening to Daishan's words, even Yue Tuo, who had objections to his father, had to admire him. But this made him even more irritable. Originally, the two princes, father and son, could definitely compete for the throne of the Qing Dynasty if they joined forces. I really don’t know why he is so obsessed with supporting a little brat as the Qing Emperor!
"Okay, let's do it this way. I'll definitely be able to catch him by surprise and teach Ming Gou a lesson!" Duduo didn't hesitate and immediately agreed.
Others listened and agreed. Except for Yue Tuo, no one else believed it at all. How strong would the Ming army really be? Each time, the Qing army was defeated by large numbers and small numbers by surprise, thus winning the war by luck.
Especially for Guan Ningjun, they are even more familiar with it. It can be said that they know themselves and the enemy. There is absolutely no problem in fighting Guan Ningjun.
When Bumbutai saw that they all reached an agreement, she would naturally have no objection. In fact, if several princes agreed, she would not have a say.
Just as the meeting was about to end, a chamberlain suddenly came to report: "A messenger from the Karaqin tribe is asking for a meeting outside the palace, saying that he has something urgent to report."
Upon hearing this, several people in the Chongzheng Hall were stunned: What are the Haraqin tribe doing? They should surrender to the Ming Kingdom, right? After all, they are the tribe closest to the Ming Kingdom, and their own strength is not strong. How can they withstand the Ming Kingdom's threat?
Bumbutai cleared his throat and said: 'Xuan..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Daishan, who said: "No, the messenger from the Karaqin tribe must have come here to report something to the governor of Jiliao of the Ming Dynasty. From this point of view, the Karaqin tribe Still unwilling to surrender to the Ming Kingdom. If the Empress Dowager receives you, don’t say that the Haraqin Tribe intends to surrender to the Ming Kingdom!"
Hearing this, Bumubutai suddenly realized. Daishan's plan just now was based on the premise that the Kalaqin tribe wanted to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. I just didn't expect that the Karaqin tribe didn't have one. This is really rare!
"Isn't this inappropriate?" Yue Tuo objected to him again and said, "Since the Karaqin tribe still loves me, the Qing Dynasty, how can we force them to rebel?"
This time, Yue Tuo did not act like a good man, but stared at his son and said sternly: "The Karaqin tribe must be asking for help from the Qing Dynasty. Could it be that the Qing Dynasty can send troops to help the Karaqin tribe to guard against the Ming Dynasty at all times?" Army? I was just talking about food and grass. Where does that food and grass come from? Do you want us to join forces to help the Qing Dynasty? Or do we think that the Qing Dynasty has food and grass that can supply my Qing army? If not In this way, will the Haraqin tribe want to change pastures? Then where can they change to..."
A series of questions left Yue Tuo speechless and unable to refute at all.
Seeing that his son was speechless, Daishan looked at the other princes and warned with a very serious expression: "Messengers from the Karaqin tribe are not allowed to visit. It is very likely that they will find someone through their connections and find you. You must remember Come on, the Qing Dynasty can’t help the Haraqin tribe, so it’s better to use the Haraqin tribe as bait to lure Guan Ning’s army out of the border, which can be regarded as reviving the power of our Qing army and making the last contribution!”
Having said this, everyone present here is from the Aixinjueluo family. Naturally, they all put the interests of the Aixinjueluo family first, so they all nodded and agreed one after another.
Just as Daishan, the old fox, expected, the leader of the Haraqin tribe, Gulu Siqibu, thought about it over and over again. In the end, he came to Shengjing for help and made his attitude clear. It's not that he didn't think about surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, but Hong Chengchou didn't offer any conditions, which made him feel unsure.
As a result, naturally, the Karaqin messengers could not see the Manchu emperor, not even the princes. Finally, I went to a leader of the original tribe and finally learned a little about the difficulties of the Qing Dynasty, such as the problem of food and grass, the poor morale of the Qing army, etc. In the end, the messenger of the Karaqin tribe could only be disappointed. Return.
When Gulusi Qibu heard the report from the messenger who rushed back, he was immediately dumbfounded. He had a feeling that the Karaqin tribe seemed to have been abandoned by the Qing Dynasty!
During this period of time, although the Aohan tribe's troops did not attack the Karaqin tribe, they often wandered and even broke into the Karaqin tribe's pastures, which put great pressure on Gulusi Qibu. For this reason, he once sent someone to communicate with Aohan Bandi, but Aohan Bandi refused to admit that he had put pressure on the Karaqin tribe, saying that he only accidentally crossed the line.
Gulusi Qibu had no choice but to go to Shengjing to complain. This was used to show his attitude and at the same time, it was considered a threat. If your Aohan tribe has plans to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty will not spare you.
Now, when the Qing Dynasty asked for help from the Meridian Gate, Gu Lusi Qibu was really desperate. After thinking for a night, he sent a messenger and secretly went to Shanhaiguan to find Hong Chengchou to express his willingness to surrender.
To be honest, Hong Chengchou really didn't expect that with just a letter from him, there would actually be grassland tribes willing to join him. Therefore, after hearing this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. No matter what, this is Hong Chengchou's credit. Without spending a single soldier, an allied army of Jianlu was disintegrated.
However, the reason why he did not set any conditions in the letter was because he had no decision-making power regarding the treatment of the grassland tribes. Emperor Chongzhen had a precedent of paying blood debts with blood to the grassland tribes. In fact, all the eastern Mongolian tribes participated in the raids. Logically speaking, they had a blood debt with the Ming Dynasty.
However, Hong Chengchou also knew that it was unrealistic for the Ming Dynasty to deal with all the eastern Mongolian tribes with blood debt. After all, the number of cavalry assembled by so many tribes is at least 50,000. If we really want to destroy them all, how much price will Ming have to pay?
Therefore, Hong Chengchou did not immediately agree to the Haraqin tribe's request to surrender. Instead, he tried to set conditions, such as showing sincerity, attacking the Jianlu allies, and refusing to surrender to the Mongolian tribes of the Ming Dynasty.
Initially, Hong Chengchou thought he would have to bargain, but unexpectedly, the Karaqin messenger agreed immediately.
As a result, he became confused. At this time, Gulusi Qibu, who was hidden among the envoy's entourage, had to reveal his identity and told all the difficulties encountered by the Kalaqin tribe. He had no other requirements for the Ming Dynasty, as long as the Ming Dynasty could protect the Kalaqin tribe. Department, he is willing to do anything.
Threatened by the Chahar horse thieves and harassed by the Aohan tribe, the original backer refused to send troops due to various difficulties, and even refused to see him, unwilling to uphold justice. In this regard, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but sympathize with the Haraqin tribe.
After understanding the situation of the Haraqin tribe, Hong Chengchou happily asked Gulu Siqibu to write a letter of surrender. Later, he also wrote a memorial and reported it to the capital urgently, and Emperor Chongzhen made a decision.
