    "I have already changed the strategy of remnant Ming to destroying Ming. This expedition is aimed at destroying Ming. Rao Yubeile Abatai." In the Manchu court, Huang Taiji suddenly issued this order.

    "I'm here."

    "I order you to follow the command of the general and lead an army of 100,000 to detour to Mongolia and conquer the Ming Dynasty again."

    Abatay was stunned: "Are you asking me to be the coach?" He couldn't believe it.

    Azige whispered from the side: "Your Majesty has ordered your general." Then he responded: "I obey your order."

    Huang Taiji warned: "This expedition is a familiar one. You can break through the Qiangziling area, sweep across the capital, and go straight to Hebei and Lu. You must avoid the peasant army. If you encounter it, treat it with courtesy and do not fight with it."  ¡±

    "I obey the order."

    On that day, a big banquet was held in the Dazheng Palace, and then there was a banquet held every five days by the kings, Baylor, with great hospitality. Chapter 546: The Death of Huang Taiji (Part 2).

    But Huang Taiji was most concerned about Wu Sangui. According to what Ning Wanwo said, there was less than a year before Jiashen destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and Wu Sangui must have a definite answer.  Therefore, he summoned Zu Dashou many times and asked Wu Sangui about the situation there.  One day at the end of October, Wu Sangui received a letter. Zu Dashou didn't even open it, but presented it directly to Huang Taiji in person.

    Huang Taiji read: "Uncle, Sangui pays my respects again. My uncle is eager to see Sangui. Why doesn't Sangui want to reunite with his uncle as soon as possible? However, in recent days, rumors have spread in the capital, accusing me of accepting generous gifts from the Jurchens, secretly colluding with the Jurchens, and intending to rebel.  Etc. Chongzhen originally had a grudge against his nephew, but now he is even more suspicious. According to a letter from my father, the Ministry of War wants to transfer Sangui to the pass to suppress bandits. If this order is given, Sangui's old father will have to go to the capital. If so, the plan will fail.  That's it. Sangui asked his uncle to tell the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty to send troops to Ningyuan quickly. Then his nephew could report the situation to the Ministry of War and stabilize the court first, and then proceed slowly. "

    Huang Taiji pondered: "It seems that Wu Sangui does intend to surrender, but he is just burdened by his old father. Wu Sangui cannot leave, and Zu Dashou's nephew is the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan. Is there anyone better connected than this? If it were anyone else  , everything will start from scratch.¡±

    He handed the letter to Zu Dashudao Chapter 546: The Death of Huang Taiji (Part 2): "Come and take a look."

    After Zu Dashou finished reading, he raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, Wu Sangui can't leave, and we can't waste all our efforts."

    "What Zu Chengzheng said is exactly what I meant. I immediately sent Duduo to lead his troops to attack Ningyuan, so that Wu Sangui could sit firmly on the Diaoyutai of Ningyuan."

    It was almost three o'clock when Zu Dashou left Qingning Palace. He said zhezhe: "The emperor's health has just improved, but he is so tired, so he should be more careful."

    Huang Taiji sighed: "It's the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month now, and the Renwu Year is about to pass. As Ning Wanwo said, there are still one year and ten days before the Jiashen Year, but many things have not been decided yet. I am anxious.  ¡±

    Huang Taiji fell ill again on the first day of the Lunar New Year in the eighth year of the Qing Dynasty's Puppet Chongde, and the annual New Year's Ceremony had to be stopped.  Getting sick on the first day of the new year is really an ominous sign. Queen Zhezhe discussed with Daishan: "Second brother, the emperor's body and bones are getting worse and worse. If he is a little better, he will not work in vain. On the first day of the new year, he will not work hard in vain."  It should be a day for everyone to celebrate, but the emperor has fallen ill, which is disturbing. The emperor believed those Han ministers who advocated saying nothing but using strange powers to confuse the gods, but he still didn't get better. I think we should ask the gods this time.  Just ask for God¡¯s protection.¡±

    Daishan said: "What the Queen said is very true. I don't think it is worse than this. This afternoon, I led all the brothers to the hall to worship and pray. The Queen asked a shaman to see if there was something that happened on the New Year's Eve. Please ask Shaman. The emperor cannot know about Man."

    So the two of them acted separately, and Zhezhe invited the shaman to Prince Su's Mansion.  Hauge was also worried about Huang Ama's illness, and immediately ordered his family to prepare sacrifices and place them on the table for sacrifices.

    The shaman beat the sacred drum and danced. He muttered words and the copper bell around his waist rattled. After dancing for two full seconds, the drum stopped and his whole body shook violently.  God was invited.  To everyone's surprise, the person invited was not the Eagle God, the Tiger God, the Yellow Fairy, or the Fox Fairy, but Concubine Chen.

    I heard the shaman cry: "Aunt, I am Hai Lanzhu. Hai Lanzhu has a hard life. I married the emperor at the age of twenty-six, and we were very affectionate with him. I expected to grow old together. Who would have thought that we would be separated halfway? Now I am  Alone and helpless, I miss the Emperor so much."

    When everyone heard that the shaman's voice was exactly the same as that of Concubine Chen, it was clearly Concubine Chen who was speaking. They were so frightened that they all knelt down and kowtowed.  Zhezhe was also very surprised, but she knew that Hai Lanzhu was possessed by a shaman, so she advised: "Hai Lanzhu, my aunt knows that you are suffering, but since you have left the Yang world, you must abide by the rules of the underworld.  , What's the use of waiting patiently for a few years to find a good family, reincarnate, and always thinking about the emperor sadly like this? "

    Hauge was furious, no wonder the emperorMa is always sick. It turns out that he called you Dangba. He pulled out his sword with a "snap" and said: "Hai Lanzhu, you are so bold. Since you have become a ghost, why do you still have nightmares about the emperor? The relationship between the emperor's dragon body and  With the fate of the Qing Dynasty, if you become a monster, I will kill you with one strike." He put the knife on the shaman's neck.  The shaman screamed and fell to the ground.  Everyone was stunned and stared at the shaman lying on the ground. After a long while, the shaman gradually woke up.  The first words he said when he woke up were: "Gone, gone." Then, his voice returned to his original voice.

    Zhezhe asked: "In the Immortal Family, Concubine Chen's soul is still lingering. What should we do?"

    "Please rest assured, the Queen, Concubine Chen said she will not come again. It is best to be buried in peace, Concubine Chen should be buried as soon as possible."

    Zhezhe was shocked. He was really an immortal. He even knew that Hai Lanzhu was not buried.  She responded: "The emperor means to suspend the spirit for three years. Since the Xian family has something to say, the Ai family will definitely convince the emperor."

    With Zhezhe¡¯s repeated persuasion, Huang Taiji agreed to bury Hai Lanzhu.

    Soon, Abatai sent a battle report: On November 5, the seventh year of Chongde, I entered the pass from Jielingkou and Huangyakou near Yanmen Pass. Although the Ming army took strict precautions at each pass, they were unable to defeat them.  hit.  Our eight-banner army conquered Bazhou, Hejian, Yongqing, and Hengshui, then entered Shandong, defeated Linqing, Yanzhou, Dengzhou, etc., and captured Zhu Yipai, king of Minglu, Zhu Hongzhi, king of Leling, and Zhu Yiyuan, king of Dongyuan.  With more than a thousand people from the kings and clans, they conquered three prefectures, eighteen states, sixty-seven counties, and eighty-eight towns, and obtained 12,250 taels of gold and 2,250,200 taels of silver.  Seventy taels, 4,440 pearls, 52,230 pieces of silk and satin of various colors, 13,840 taels of satin and fur clothes, and a captive population of 369,000.  I have now returned to Miyun and will be able to return to Beijing in one month.  "

    Huang Taiji was extremely happy: "Abatai is really one of my five tiger generals. This time he entered the pass and achieved brilliant results. I will reward him heavily."

    Huang Taiji found that there was something else in the memorial, which looked like a Ming Dynasty residence newspaper, so he opened it and saw: At the end of February, the rebel Li Zicheng changed Xiangyang to Changyi Prefecture, proclaimed himself the Civil and Military Marshal of Advocating Righteousness, and named Niu Jinxing as  The prime minister has six governments: officials, households, rites, soldiers, punishments, and workers. There are defense envoys, governors, state shepherds, etc. in each place, just like a royal court.  It is said that the traitor Zhang Xianzhong is also planning to establish an army soon.  This news is so exciting. Huang Taiji has never smiled happily since he fell ill in March of the seventh year of Chongde. Now, he smiles: "Everything is under my control. This is the real truth."  The sea is flowing, Jia Shen is extinguished, and I am not lying."

    In June, Abatai's division returned, and Huang Taiji ordered Prince Zheng Jierhalang, Prince Rui Dorgon, and Prince Wuying Azige to greet him.

    Li Zicheng has established a small court in Xiangyang, and Zhang Xianzhong will not be content to be second to him. He must have proclaimed himself king and emperor now.  Li and Zhang are no longer the thieves they used to be, but they have to replace them with the Ming Dynasty.  I said that there must be a decisive battle between Ming Dynasty and the peasant army. Looking at it now, this decisive battle is right in front of us.  With the military strength of the Qing Dynasty, it is easy to defeat the peasant army, but conquering the people's hearts is much more difficult than conquering by force.  Back then, the reason why we were able to gain a foothold in Liaodong was because we finally won the hearts and minds of the people and gave the people of Liaodong a chance to survive.  We are about to advance into the Central Plains. Whether we can gain a foothold in the Central Plains depends on whether we can finally win the hearts and minds of the people of the Central Plains, especially the hearts of the scholars. Rao Yubeile has made a good start this time, and he must be praised.  I haven't had a drink for a long time. I'm happy today. Come on, spare Yu Beile. I'll make an exception today. I'll toast you a drink.  "

    Abatai's hardships in the battle for more than a year were all blown away by the emperor's words. He raised his glass with some embarrassment: "Thank you, Your Majesty." He raised his neck and drained a large glass of wine.

    In the fifth expedition to the Ming Dynasty, Abatai received a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, and other soldiers also received very generous rewards.

    News of the fifth victory over the Ming Dynasty reached Mongolia and North Korea, and they both sent envoys to congratulate them.  Since Huang Taiji handed over the daily government affairs and only attended banquets and receptions every day, he was much more relaxed than before. He was in very good physical condition. Looking at him coldly, his face was glowing and his face was full of energy. All civil and military officials in the court were delighted by it.

    What makes Huang Taiji even more happy is that his fifth daughter Atuge is about to get married.  Atu is twelve years old and is the second daughter of Concubine Zhuang. She is as beautiful as a flower and jade, and Huang Taiji regards her as the apple of his eye.  Two years ago, she had settled down with Engelder's son Solha.  The wedding was scheduled to be held on the eighth day of August. On this day, Huang Taiji led the Queen, Zhuang Concubine and the concubines in the harem to hold a grand ceremony for Atu and Solha to confer the title of Lord and Son-in-law in the Dazheng Palace.  Korea, Korea, etc. each have their own contributions, and it goes without saying that the scene is grand.

    That night, Huang Taiji rested in Yongfu Palace.  The bustle of the day has passed, and it feels deserted at night.  Huang Taiji sat quietly in front of the lamp and sighed: "Attu is already married, how can I not grow old? There is no such thing as a banquet in the world that never ends."

    &nbspConcubine Zhuang heard that something was not right, so she advised: "Your Majesty, Atu is in the city. He can go back to the palace to see the Emperor at any time. If there is anything that has to be separated, please relax, Your Majesty." She handed over a thick hand.  This gift account: "This is the gift list recorded by the internal management office. Your Majesty, please take a look."

    Huang Taiji took it and turned it over inadvertently. Suddenly, he was stunned when he saw that Prince Baylor's list contained a pair of golden saddles.  Golden saddle?  What golden saddle?  Could it be a saddle inlaid with gold?  He asked Concubine Zhuang, "Have you seen the golden saddle?"

    "I've seen it before. It's very beautiful. The saddle, saddle bridge, and saddle nails are all made of gold."

    Huang Taiji's expression changed, and he threw the gift list onto the kang with a bang: "This is an act of overstepping the rules. I and Da Beile can use the golden saddle, how can others abuse it. If this wind spreads, all the princes, Beile, and Beizi will  "All the ministers followed suit, are you going to stop messing up?" He ordered the guards: "Go to Sol Ha's father-in-law immediately and get those golden saddles. I want to see them."

    Concubine Zhuang panicked, and she hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask for the dowry things back? Besides, today is Atu's night of flowers and candles. Your Majesty, let's calm down first and wait until tomorrow."

    Huang Taiji sighed and said: "This is the only time in my daughter's life. I can't be too unkind, but this matter is related to the atmosphere of the Qing Dynasty. Let's wait until tomorrow."

    The court meeting on the ninth day of August lasted until noon. At the meeting, Huang Taiji generously rewarded the envoys of various ministries, especially the Tumote tribe who introduced Tibetan envoys to the court.  In the afternoon, he ordered Azig, Dorgon and his nephews, nephews and grandchildren to come to Qingning Palace.  Entering the palace, they found a row of gleaming golden saddles placed on the edge of the south Kang. They immediately recognized them as the gifts they had presented yesterday. They looked at each other and felt something was wrong, fearing that they would be punished again.  Then the emperor said: "Here we come, please sit down."

    Several people sat down uneasily.

    "Are these saddles yours?"

    He stood up and responded: "Yes, it belongs to us and has been given to Princess Gulen Atu."

    Huang Taiji said angrily: "You are so rich, you even use gold as a saddle, I really feast my eyes on it."

    Azig said: "Your Majesty, my brothers and others think that Atuge is the noble one. When she gets married, she should have a golden saddle to match her. Otherwise, how can she show her dignity? We also made the custom-made one after careful consideration."

    Huang Taiji asked: "How many pairs have you customized?"

    "Two pairs per person."

    "So I gave one pair to Atu, and each of you kept one pair?"

    Several people responded in unison: "Yes."

    "Huh, it's quite scheming. Do you think this can stop me?" He glared at Dorgon fiercely. Dorgon didn't dare to look at him and lowered his head.

    Huang Taiji looked up to the sky and sighed: "Is our Qing Dynasty really rich and powerful? So rich that we use gold as a saddle? You all know Zhu Changxun, the blessed king of Luoyang in the Ming Dynasty. He has a golden saddle, but whose mount is it now?  What about Li Zicheng? When Li Zicheng attacked Luoyang, Zhu Changxun was extremely wealthy, but the soldiers who defended the city did not even have enough to eat. As a result, he was separated from his relatives and became a prisoner of Li Zicheng.  It was boiled and eaten with Fuwang meat and venison, which the rebels called the Fulu Feast. Even if he had given a tenth of his possessions to the soldiers defending the city, he would not have ended up like this when the city was destroyed.  Pearl pulled two large carriages. All the things used in daily life are made of gold, and they are not all prepared for Li Zicheng. I don't object to your enjoyment. You are the prince of the Qing Dynasty, but you must use gold sparingly today.  As a saddle, you can use gold as your armor tomorrow. What about the future? Follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and build a golden house to hide Gillian?

    He walked up to several people and said earnestly and sincerely: "We came out of the mountains. Although we are noble people, we are still in the minority. To control the crowd with a small number, the most important thing is to win the hearts of the people. You can't imagine the difficulties that the late emperor had to start his business back then.  But you didn't catch up, Azig and Haoge caught up. Now you have become the prince Baylor, with a millionaires, a group of aha, and you are very rich, but you can't forget about it, and you have to visit it often.  , see if there is anyone who can¡¯t afford to eat or wear clothes, whether there is anyone who can¡¯t get a woman, and whether there is anyone who is starving to death. If you go down and show yourself to your subordinates, they will be more honest, and the people will call you Mr. Qingtian.  . No matter how valuable a saddle is, what will happen to it? If everyone betrays their relatives, who will own the saddle? Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong?

    Brothers and nephews, we are about to take over the Central Plains, and a more complicated situation is yet to come. Do not indulge at any time, remember to abstain from sexual immorality, and the lessons are not far away; we must always be thoughtful and be prepared for danger in times of peace.  I hope you can all become the pillars of the Qing Dynasty.  The second brother is now sixty-one, and I am fifty-two. Besides, I have been plagued by illness in recent years, and the Qing Dynasty depends entirely on you.  Only when you have the people and the country in your heart will you be foreverHave yourself.  "

    Huang Taiji's sincere words moved them. Dorgon knelt down and said, "I know I was wrong. We will definitely remember the emperor's teachings and always be prepared for danger in times of peace."

    Huang Taiji said: "It seems that all my thoughts have been in vain. You can go back. Remember, come to Qingning Palace tomorrow night. I will ask Wen Cheng to tell you "Ten Thoughts on Admonishing Taizong" first."

    After Dorgon left, Huang Taiji felt depressed. He wanted to find someone to talk to, so he ordered his guard to say, "Go and invite Mr. Wen Cheng."

    He sat at the Kang table and picked up Zu Dashou's memorial, one of which wrote: "I think that in order to break through Shanhaiguan, we should first capture the five cities in front of the pass: Ningyuan, Zhongyousuo, Zhongqiansuo, Zhonghousuo, and Qiantunwei.  , I know the strength of these five cities very well. Although Wu Sangui's old father is in the capital, his family is in the middle and rear. If Wu Sangui's family is captured by me, I am not afraid that Sangui will not surrender.  , Ningyuan will be surrendered immediately, and the other three cities can be conquered in one fell swoop.

    "It is a good idea to take over Wu Sangui's family. You can give it a try. Zu Dashou will still be useful in pacifying the Central Plains in the future. If you find an opportunity to transfer him to the Ministry of War, he will be able to make full use of his talents."

    When he continued to look down, he felt that he had been "fooled", and his blood surged up, and he didn't know anything anymore.

    Fan Wencheng walked into the Qingning Palace and saw the emperor leaning on a high pillow to read the memorial. He went forward and knelt down and said, "My lord, Fan Wencheng, bows to the emperor."

    "In the past, the emperor would have immediately ordered the guards to watch his seat, but this time there was no movement.  Fan Wencheng felt a little strange, so he knelt down again and said, "Your Majesty, Fan Wencheng." Before the Emperor responded, Fan Wencheng raised his head and saw that the Emperor's eyes were slightly closed and motionless. He seemed to be asleep, so he said to the female official:  "The emperor is asleep. Please help the emperor to Dongnuan Pavilion quickly."

    The two female officials knelt on the kang and supported Huang Taiji. They found that the emperor's head was drooped and his saliva was drooling.  As soon as he held his arm, he was a little stiff, and he exclaimed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come to the room and rest."

    The emperor showed no reaction. Fan Wencheng suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He put his hand to the emperor's nostrils, but couldn't feel his breath. He shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

    Huang Taiji still didn¡¯t respond. The two female officials saw that the emperor had stopped breathing and screamed: "Your Majesty!"

    This scream was very sharp. The Queen and Concubine Zhuang were in Dongnuang Pavilion preparing for Atuge to return home after three days. When they heard the scream, they hurried out.  Baidu search, provides download of this book.

    At this time, Fan Wencheng grabbed the emperor's arm and felt the pulse for a long time, but there was no trace of pulse anywhere.  Fan Wencheng's head banged, he sat down on the ground, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty"

    On the night of the ninth day of August in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty and the eighth year of Chongde in the Manchu and Qing dynasties, Tai Chi, the pseudo-emperor of the Qing Dynasty, finally ended his life.  !  !  !
