    On the twenty-second day of the first month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, on the official road from Liaoyang to Shenyang, the Jin army was attacked by the Mongolian Bayan tribe on the way back, losing part of the small cart team and wasted a lot of time.  These Mongolians originally wanted to evacuate before a large number of combat troops from Houjin arrived. This was because the Mongolian grasslands had been experiencing severe droughts year after year in recent years. Most of the tribes had no food to eat, so a small number of people were reluctant to leave. In the end, although they grabbed  Although he was very fat, he was overtaken by the Jin army because of his slow speed.  Nurhachi did not kill all the prisoners. On the contrary, Houjin not only entertained them with a good meal, but also gave them a batch of food before releasing them back.  Nurhaci wrote a polite letter to the chief of Bayan Mongolia. In the letter, Nurhaci pointed out that Mongolia and Houjin were both poor. Instead of robbing each other as poor people, they might as well go to the Ming Dynasty together.  After returning home, Nurhachi wrote another letter to Genghis Khan. This letter was also written very politely and the gift was given generously.  In addition, Nurhaci also made a list of his gains in western Liaoning.  The implication of this move clearly shows that Nurhachi hopes to join forces with Genghis Khan to seize the Ming Dynasty. Wouldn't it be beneficial to both of them?  This morning Nurhaci¡¯s envoy came back To be precise, Nurhaci¡¯s envoy came back. One person and only one groom was released by Genghis Khan and sent a letter.  In the letter, Genghis Khan scolded Nurhachi.  Genghis Khan accepted Nurhaci¡¯s gift and killed all the envoys.  I heard that Genghis Khan planned to say that these heads were his harvest on the battlefield and send them to the Ming Dynasty in exchange for silver.  Bayan Mongolia has also not replied to Nurhachi.  There was also news from the Liaohe Hetao that a small group of Mongolians crossed the Liaohe River the day before yesterday.  I killed more than a dozen Bao Yi and then ran back. I heard that they were still from Bayan Mongolia.  Although Nurhachi was furious, he couldn't think about it.  After returning to Liaozhong to rest for many days, the Dongjiang Army in Gaizhou seemed to have turned to the defensive.  Now that the situation in Haizhou has been stabilized, Nurhachi decided to inspect Shenyang and meet with the Horqin Mongolian envoy.  Daishan, Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji were all in the accompanying team. The three of them knew that Nurhachi had been unhappy in recent days, so they hid far behind.  So that you don't have to worry about going up to find it.  However, the other two little brothers who came with them today didn't seem to have such concerns. Mang Gurtai squinted at the figures of Dorgon and Duoduo in front of him. The two guys seemed to make the old man very happy. The father and son were always there.  There was laughter in the front.  Daishan was a horse behind Mang Gurtai and was chatting with Huang Taiji: "Why don't those Mongolians dare to rob the Ming Dynasty when they are poorer than us? Are they willing to starve to death?" "Those courageous rats  Alas. After hundreds of years, they have been defeated by the Ming Dynasty." Huang Taiji shook his head helplessly and sighed with a wry smile: "This is because of the Ming Dynasty's prestige.  We Big Belle, you see the marriage alliance between Horqin Mongolia and us is so strong. If they attack Lin Danhan, there will be no problem. But if we let them clearly join forces with us to attack the Ming Dynasty, then they will shirk in every possible way and I will never agree to this.  I've heard about it too. "Although Dai Shan is mainly responsible for southern Liaoning, he is also very concerned about this kind of grand strategy.  In the past few years, although the Hou Jin army has won many battles, no one except some poor Mongolian men who really can't survive is willing to work with Hou Jin: "I also heard that some leaders in Horqin Mongolia have privately discussed that no matter how hard they fight, they will be beaten ten times."  Years, twenty years, or fifty years. The Ming Dynasty will definitely defeat us. " "Yes, now Horqin Mongolia needs to exchange salt and food with us because it does not border the Ming Dynasty. If we fail, they will definitely stab us in the back.  It's a pity that Yang Hao almost agreed to negotiate with us." Huang Taiji's words made Dai Shan feel a little confused.  Back then, Nurhaci attacked the Ming Dynasty¡¯s officers and soldiers.  He took the initiative to ask for peace from the Liaodong Dusi Mansion.  Because Nurhaci put forward the condition of paying tribute and becoming a vassal, Yang Hao almost agreed to Nurhachi's request.  Yang Hao believed that Nurhaci did not occupy many frontiers and it would be too costly to mobilize an army to suppress them.  However, this peace request was immediately rejected by Emperor Wanli after it was reported to Beijing and ordered to mobilize troops from Liaodong Town to raid.  This is the Battle of Salhu.  After the Battle of Sarhu, Nurhachi once again sued for peace.  He said that he wanted nothing but an official name from Ming Dynasty.  Xiong Tingbi, who succeeded the Liaodong administrator, sneered at this and said that this case would lead to never-ending border troubles.  Not only did Xiong Tingbi not consider the peace negotiation issue, he also informed the various Mongolian ministries that whoever dared to trade with Houjin would be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty.  Then Nurhaci twice led the Eight Banners to attack Liaodong, but Xiong Tingbi relied on his home advantage to defeat Houjin in field games and could not grab anything.  Three years later, Xiong Tingbi regained more than a dozen castles, except for one city in Fushun. Hou Jin had been driven out of the Liaodong Border Wall.  Mao Wenlong also emerged at this time. After a series ofIn the fierce fighting, he regained Gushan Fort and other places and gained meritorious service and was promoted to a guerrilla general.  Ling Houjin was fortunate thatEmperor Wanli died in time.  After Wang Huazhen came to power, Nurhaci wanted to negotiate peace with Wang Huazhen.  Huang Taiji recalled this and sighed: "At that time, we occupied the entire Liaodong. King Khan endured his curses again and again. Every time, he said kind words and used to withdraw from the side wall to seduce him into peace talks. But although Wang Huazhen was arrogant and incompetent, he refused.  In addition to rude insults, Daishan smiled and said, "Didn't Father Khan start peace talks with Yuan Chonghuan from Ningyuan recently?" "The results are indeed good.  That's right. Yuan Chonghuan had a very high self-esteem. The messenger originally wrote "Master Yuan" in the letter, but Yuan Chonghuan looked displeased, so he changed the second letter to "Master Yuan", and Yuan Chonghuan was complacent.  Xin went around showing off that he had the ability to speak out among the Confucian scholars, and his dignity could intimidate foreign feudal lords. " Huang Taiji couldn't help but laugh and said with a sarcastic tone: "The next thing is more interesting.  He was arrogant and went along with what he wanted. He only said that we had to go to war with the Ming Dynasty because we didn't have enough food to eat. If we were given some silver to eat every year, we would be willing to quit the border wall and become settlers on the border. Yuan Chonghuan seemed to take it seriously and even said so seriously.  Father Khan began to discuss how much money we can give to feed our family. "Isn't this great?" Dai Shan also laughed when he heard it, with a proud look on his face.  He straightened up excitedly and said: "If this example starts, all the Mongolian tribes don't rush to attack the Ming Dynasty first to get the Ming Dynasty money Ha Sui gift?" Huang Taiji was not as optimistic as Daishan and said with a heavy heart:  "How is that possible? I figured it out after Wang Huazhen refused to negotiate for peace. My father always thought about the example of Anda. Anda had been messing around on the border of the Ming Dynasty for so many years and calmed down a little. Didn't the Ming Dynasty also make the king?  We have opened a mutual trade. So Father Khan always hopes to win over the Mongols and our alliance by tricking the Ming Dynasty into starting peace talks. But we are different from Anda. We occupy the border areas of the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty withdraws from the border areas.  Wouldn't it be a sign of weakness to encourage the people around to attack the Ming Dynasty if they negotiated a peace treaty before and returned the land? So even if Yuan Chonghuan was willing, wouldn't there be one sensible person in the entire Ming Dynasty? You see, we have only met one person in these years?  It's just Yuan Chonghuan." Daishan thought about it and agreed with Huang Taiji's reasoning. He looked at Nurhaci in front of him with disappointment, and the latter was still laughing happily with his two younger sons: "Then why don't you tell Father Khan?  It¡¯s useless to be embarrassed in front of Yuan Chonghuan.¡± ¡°Father Khan has become stubborn as he gets older. Since Father Khan wants to coax Yuan Chonghuan to play, let Father Khan do it. But I still say Ming Guo.  Maybe no one in the Manchu Dynasty understands this. This deterrent is that they paid for several emperors to go to the battlefield, one emperor to die of illness, and one emperor to be captured. Therefore, it was useless to communicate with Yuan Chonghuan and they would still be defeated by the Ming Dynasty.  Refute it unless Yuan Chonghuan dares to abandon his court and negotiate with us privately. But how can there be such an arrogant person in the world? " After Nurhaci arrived in Shenyang, Amin and Jilharang accompanied him to inspect the underground areas of Shenyang's suburbs.  The grass roots and field mice, the bird's nests and bark on the trees there is nothing left.  "Mao Wenlong came from this road." Jierhalang pointed in the direction of Xianning Fort and then pointed in the direction of Fushun: "Mao Wenlong came from this road again." "There is nothing on these two roads.  There is nothing left." The muscles on Amin's face kept shaking. He had been so heartbroken several times in the past few days that he almost vomited blood.  There are also rumors that Erbeile checked the route to Dongjiang Army.  He once secretly shed tears in a deserted place: "Mao Wenlong ate all the four legs except the table. Everything that could be moved was taken away by Mao Wenlong except for the stones." Unlike the excited Amin, Nurhachi was not particularly old.  reaction.  He explained that there were a lot of trophies brought back from western Liaoning this time, and some of them could be allocated to Amin's blue flags.  After all, the gains from this attack far outweighed the losses.  Compared with the Liaoxi where Nurhachi had been to, the Qianli Chidi in front of him was not too much, so this technology of clearing grass and grain was undoubtedly already perfect.  Nurhachi sighed with self-deprecation: "Wenlong and I are indeed brothers taught by the same master." Nurhachi couldn't help but recall his interactions with Mao Wenlong many years ago.  Back then, Nurhaci and Mao Wenlong were both slaves under Li Chengliang. At that time, they had a drink together, but it had been too long and Nurhaci could not remember Mao Wenlong's appearance at all.  He said lightly: "Wen Long is here, but I can't go far away for fear that the women and children at home will be uneasy."  At the same time, Jin Qiu Dezheng and Zhao Manxiong who stayed behind on Changsheng Island were walking on the deserted beach.  Jin Qiude found an opportunity to call out Zhao Manxiong and bring Huang Shi and Yuan Chong out.Huan told him all the conflicts he had and then said anxiously: "Your Excellency, I can't listen to my advice. I will impeach Yuan Chonghuan no matter what. I can't stop you. What should I do now?" "Don't be anxious. Don't be anxious. Let me think about itslow down."  Think slowly." Zhao Manxiong, who had walked for more than ten miles with his hands behind his back, stopped and coughed with his right hand in front of his mouth. Jin Qiude was refreshed and concentrated on waiting to hear Zhao Manxiong's reasoning "It's not early today.  Come on. Let me go back and think about it at night Think about it slowly Jin Qiude brought up the old story again and said slowly: "What do you think Yuan Chonghuan is?"  "What kind of person is he?" "He talks big and thinks highly of himself and acts recklessly." "It's hard to say that it seems stupid from the point of view of proposing peace, but he has repeatedly tested the Lord before saying this.  After pinching him casually, he finally tried to make the adults take the blame, but it didn¡¯t look very stupid.¡± After hearing this, Zhao Manxiong sighed: ¡°Brother Jin, you must have had a good background, right?¡±  It¡¯s too painful.¡± Jin Qiude didn¡¯t wait for an answer.  Zhao Manxiong continued: "Yuan Chonghuan was a Jinshi in the forty-seventh year of Wanli. At that time, he was already quite old. The master was unknown and would soon be released as a local official. If there is no special incident, such a person will live his whole life.  They are all just petty officials, right?" "Yes, I understand what you mean." Jin Qiude sneered: "Brother Zhao is actually saying that Yuan Chonghuan has been taking the wrong approach in everything to attract attention.  "Yes, I have seen this kind of person a lot. I heard that he once went to the Ministry of War and said something It seemed like: 'Give me hundreds of thousands of troops, enough weapons, money and food, and I can wipe out the Jiannu by myself.  "Right?" "It seems to be: 'Give me hundreds of thousands of troops, enough weapons and food, and I can guard Shanhaiguan alone.' But it's similar to what you said." "I'll go check it out this morning."  The Lord actually collected a lot of information about Yuan Chonghuan kept by the internal guards. The ones that impressed me include: Yan Fujun asked him to check the number of people before, and he killed people with chicken feathers; and this time Gao Jinglue advocated withdrawing from the border.  Yan Shilang advocated sticking to the outside of the pass. Everything in Liaodong has been decided by the general, but Yuan Chonghuan supports the opinion of the Ministry of War. Is this considered a deviant approach? "Jin Qiude thought for a while and nodded silently: "That's why it's a big statement, a sword.  Trying to get others to pay attention to gambling on military and national affairs. If the bet succeeds, he will be promoted very quickly. If the bet fails" "If he loses, the country will pay for him. As long as he is brave and his life is still there, he can do it next time.  Make a bigger bet and win everything." Zhao Manxiong smiled and asked Jin Qiude: "You see, no one in the DPRK dares to negotiate a peace, but as long as the peace talks can be achieved, Jian Nu will really withdraw.  What kind of great achievements did Yuan Chonghuan make in Liaodong? He did it with just a few clicks, even though the country spent countless money and lives. I think this is enough to write a big note in the history books, right? " Jin Qiude argued?  He said: "But it is impossible for Jiannu to negotiate peace. Negotiating peace will do hundreds of harms and no good to the country." "If it is well said and tricked by Jiannu, not only will the country be humiliated, but the prestige of Ming Dynasty will be ruined, so no one will dare to do it. If  Isn't there such a big danger? Emperor Xian, Yang Jinglue, Xiong Jinglue, Governor Wang, and Sun Jinglue had already gone to where to wait until today. Is it possible that Yuan Chonghuan can still get his turn? But there is also a possibility. How do you know that Jiannu is not afraid of Ming's power?  How do you know that Jiannu doesn't want to drink tea or think about his future? How do you know that Jiannu doesn't want to say goodbye to this dilemma?" Jin Qiude was stunned for a while.  He murmured: "There is such a possibility, but the possibility is too small and the risk is too great." "If he loses, the country will suffer losses. At the worst, Yuan Chonghuan will lose his official position. If he wins, he will leave his name in history. The general will be exchanged for you, you bet."  Not betting? " Jin Qiude stood still. Zhao Manxiong also stopped and looked at him with interest for a long time. After a long time, Jin Qiude said: "What do you mean: Defy the order and stick to Ningyuan, and Juehua will lose with one hundred thousand soldiers and civilians.  Yuan Chonghuan will also die. If he wins, he will be promoted to six levels in a row. Who would know about the little Ning Qiandao?  If you dare to bet your life, would you dare to bet to be dismissed from office?  " "I didn't say this is your reasoning, it's that you use the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman.  Ningyuan Xiongcheng is okay, I just suspect that if you don't go to Juehua, there will be no living people there.  "Zhao Manxiong slipped his shoulders to avoid the problem. "This is not stupidity, but treachery!  " "Betting one's own future with the destiny of the country is of course a traitor. If Yuan Chonghuan really thinks so, it is not wrong at all to call him a traitor. This is just like Qin Hui of the Song Dynasty. Those opera singers said that he was a spy sent by the Jin Kingdom."These stories about the generals of the Yang family also talk about Privy Wang - what is his name?" "Wang Qinruo?"  "Jin Qiude has read more books than Zhao Manxiong, and one of them happened to include the history of the Song Dynasty. "That's probably the name.  Said that he was also sent by Queen Mother Xiao.  I don't think there are actually so many people sent here. I think they are just exchanging the blood of soldiers and the future of the country for their own future.  Speaking of treason, hey, does it mean that only those sent here will betray the country?  I really don¡¯t believe that Qin Hui, if he didn¡¯t take good care of the Song Dynasty¡¯s prime minister, was really bent on the Tatars.  " "Isn't it dangerous, sir?"  Now the Lord stands in his way of negotiating peace.  " "If it's just stupid, then nothing will happen to you. But if Yuan Chonghuan is a traitor, then how Qin Hui dealt with King Di Yue, he will treat the main generals the same way.  "Looking at the nervous Jin Qiude and Zhao Manxiong, a trace of ridicule slipped through his eyes: "But isn't this an opportunity for you?  "
