Chapter 1: The turbulence (I)

It is said that good things don’t go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. Emperor Chongzhen, who was in the Ming Dynasty, came to Tongzhou Military Academy and met an assassin on his way back to Beijing. The news that he was stabbed to death was spreading to all places like wind, just like a stone thrown into a calm lake. Although there was no huge wave at once, the water wave had spread, and the water was even more undercurrents surging, turbid and turbid, and it was impossible to see how deep the water was.

After Huang Taiji learned the news, he was shocked that his eyelids were twitching. He didn't know whether it was a good or a bad thing for him, so he quickly summoned several of Zhu Beile and Fan Wencheng's confidant Han officials to the palace to discuss.

On such a hot day, you should tease the beauty at home, eat iced watermelons, etc. Dai Shan was a little unhappy when he received the order from Huang Taiji, but he was sweating profusely now and could not listen. He had to leave the delicate beauty and rushed over.

The other Bellers had similar thoughts. They all came out of their cool mansions and sat in a soft sedan chair to Chongzheng Hall. In recent years, the princes and princes of the Later Jin Dynasty have become more and more luxurious. They have beautiful wives and beautiful maids, and they have some special hobbies. The butts have become white and tender. They have suffered too much in riding horses. They can sit in sedan chairs instead of sitting in sedan chairs. However, some Han officials don’t sit in sedan chairs, but they fall in love with horse riding. Huang Taiji also saw this phenomenon and was very worried. If this continues, the Jin Dynasty may not be as good as North Korea, so they cannot let these people be idle. As long as they are allowed to fight everywhere, this extravagant trend can be stopped.

In a hurry, the civil minister Beile arrived at Chongzheng Hall, and Huang Taiji had been waiting for them for a long time on the throne of Khan.

"What is the important thing about the Khan summoning ministers?" Da Beile was the head of the nominal ministers and asked first.

Huang Taiji was sitting on the imperial throne and was stunned. He was actually a little worried that the strategy of advancing west was stirred up by this sudden news. You should know that he finally convinced these brothers to agree to the strategy of conquering Mongolia first and then entering the Central Plains. Now the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was suddenly assassinated and seriously injured. Such a chance to take revenge. Daishan and the others would never give up, especially Ajige was captured by the Ming army twice, and he regarded it as a great humiliation. With such an opportunity, he would definitely be the first to jump out to support the southern expedition. What is the covenant? It is something that can be torn up at any time. This world is originally the strong to respect the world. Is it difficult to find an excuse?

"Khan, what happened? Why are you anxious to enter the palace?" Fan Wencheng also asked, and the result was Dai Shan's resentful gaze and Huang Taiji's unmoved. The Jin people were originally disagreeing with the Han people. Dai Shan and others even regarded Fan Wencheng as a treacherous minister who bewitched Huang Taiji. They never had a good face to Fan Wencheng and other Han officials. However, Dorgon and Duoduo were relatively close to each other. The relationship was not so rigid.

"The Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian, was here to visit the Tongzhou Military Academy. He met an assassin on the way back to Beijing and was seriously injured. His life was already hanging on the line!" Huang Taiji thought about it over and over again. The preparations for the Western Expedition to Chahar have not been completed yet. If such a big thing happened, news would be heard from Shengjing in a few days. It is impossible to block the news of such a thing. It would be better to just say it out loud and let yourself understand the real thoughts of these people under him.

"Khan, is this news accurate?" Daishan and other ministers of Beile who were the main attack on the Ming Dynasty were immediately surprised and all showed great joy.

Huang Taiji nodded slowly.

Ajige was extremely excited and finally got the opportunity to be ashamed of his first blood. He leaned over and knelt down and said, "Ajige only asked the Khan to allocate 20,000 elite soldiers, and he would definitely regain Jinzhou and offer it to the Khan as a birthday gift this year."

Dai Shan also knelt down and expressed his willingness to lead troops to attack the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, if Emperor Chongzhen of the Southern Ming Dynasty passed away, the peace agreement he signed would become a piece of waste paper. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I beg Huang Taiji not to miss it.

"My brother Dorgon is willing to be the vanguard!" Dorgon also knelt down. After all, Ajige is the brother of his mother. His brother was captured twice. Dorgon empathized with it, so he naturally knelt down to ask for a fight.

Immediately afterwards, Duoduo also knelt down. After Shanhaiguan's defeat, he was so depressed that he could not calm down. Mangguertai, who had been sick, also hated the Ming court to the core and knelt down.

When Amin and the other Beizi saw that they could not kneel down. They could only kneel down, and the Grand Secretary Xifu also knelt down. Only a few Han officials in the hall did not kneel down. After hesitating for a while, they all knelt down. Only Fan Wencheng stood alone like a crane standing out, without any movement.

Finally, there were people who objected. Huang Taiji's face was gloomy. These brothers and ministers saw the immediate interests and would not look at them longer. At this time, is it possible to attack Ming? Can they attack the underground? Now the governor of Jili is Yuan Chonghuan, not a wine bag, can they be beaten with just a whip? Persimmons still have to pick up soft ones.

"Xiandou, what does it mean when you stand and don't speak?" Huang Taiji asked. He relied very heavily on this confidant Han minister, and he also hoped that he could help him solve the problems in front of him at this time.

"Reporting to the Khan, I am actually in a dilemma. Emperor Chongzhen was assassinated and seriously injured. The Ming court would inevitably be unstable and the domestic turmoil. Moreover, Wei Zhongxian from Nanjing would definitely not miss this opportunity. So if the Khan sent troops, he would definitely have achieved something, but?" Fan Wencheng paused, as if he was thinking about how to continue.

"But what, Xiandou, tell me quickly." Huang Taiji was happy. Fan Wencheng's following must be against sending troops to attack Mingdi, and of course he was eager to know the following.

Fan Wencheng continued to calmly say: "But what I am worried about is that the defense of Jinzhou City is different from the past. With famous generals like Yuan Chonghuan in charge, I am afraid that all the elite soldiers of the Jin Dynasty may not be able to be taken down in a short time. The Khan accepted the enthronement of the Ming court in Beijing. Such an approach would definitely make people criticized by the world. If Wei Zhongxian from Nanjing was also waiting for an opportunity to act, the Khan followed the troops to attack Ming, and then all the Han people would think that the Khan and the eunuch court united to divide their own territory. Wei Zhongxian's eunuch would certainly not get any benefits, but the Khan would not only bear a treacherous reputation, but would also be hated by all Han people. If the Khan entered the Central Plains and ruled the world, the weak minister suggested not to attack Ming, and let the Han people attack their own people. This would be the most beneficial situation for the Khan."
