Take advantage of the situation and enter

The Ming court criticized the Mongols for the reason when the Jin army invaded the border of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact they were wronged. Although the Mongols were helpless this time, they were not in the same position as the Ming Dynasty, but now they are relying on the Ming Dynasty to spend this cold winter. How could they really risk offending the Ming Dynasty and ignore it?

In fact, when the news that the Jin army gathered troops to attack Liaodong reached the ears of the people, they responded accordingly and ordered the 20,000 soldiers in the west of the Jin Kingdom to launch a surprise attack on the Jin Kingdom in order to restrain the Jin army and prevent them from attacking the Ming Dynasty with all their strength.

However, the reaction of the Mongols had already been seen through by the Jin people. Before sending troops to the Ming Dynasty, the Jin people had already sent 30,000 troops to stay on their western border. As soon as the Mongols entered the Jin Kingdom, they collided with the Jin army, whose troops were stronger than theirs. Although these left-behind Jin troops were not the most elite troops in the Jin army, they relied on their familiarity with the terrain to block the attacks of the *** people several times. The *** army also exposed their shortcomings at this time, that is, their 20,000 troops were made up of people from various tribes, and it was difficult to truly achieve tacit understanding.

As a result, the Meng people were unable to make any achievements. When they saw the sudden attack, the enemy was prepared for a long time, and they also wanted to retreat. At this time, a news that surprised them even more came. The Jin army suddenly withdrew from Liaodong and appeared on their own grassland. The *** people thought that this was another move by the Jin people who attacked the east and west, and they no longer cared about continuing to attack the Jin Kingdom, and immediately led their troops back to the grassland to resist the invasion of the Jin people.

It was not until they returned to the grassland that the Jin people's true intentions were seen through. It turned out that the other party was not trying to conquer themselves, but to take a detour to Ming Kingdom. I think so, the current tribes of the *** even had their own livelihoods. There was indeed nothing that could be coveted by the Jin people and sent troops to rob them again.

At this time, a choice appeared in front of the Meng people, either to continue the unfinished things and send troops to the Jin Kingdom again. Based on the current situation of the Jin army invading the Central Plains, the remaining troops in their country must not be too many. As long as the Meng people are willing to make all their efforts, they may not be able to gain anything. In addition, they are sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight. It is best if the Ming court really can't bear it, so they can even change their strategy and become the alliance of the Jin people, break into the Central Plains to plunder the property there.

Both choices are very beneficial to ***, but after repeated arguments, they still chose not to move one soldier and one soldier, waiting for the result to appear. Because they sent troops to the Jin Kingdom, they would inevitably suffer immediate losses, which was something the leaders of various tribes did not want to see; and if they followed the Jin people to loot, the price they paid was much smaller, and the attractiveness of the rich Ming Dynasty was obviously much greater than that of the Jin Kingdom. So in the end, the Meng people chose the most beneficial path for themselves.

However, their wishful thinking failed. They thought that this sudden attack would lead to the Jin people's rebellion, but who would have thought it would end with a great defeat. After learning about this, the leaders of several major tribes immediately met and then came up with an opportunity to obtain benefits, that is, to take advantage of the new defeat of the Jin people and send troops to attack the Jin Kingdom.

In the first month of the second year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, when the Ming Dynasty was in peace, the people on the grassland launched a rare surprise attack on the Jin Kingdom, which had always been suppressing themselves. This time, the Mongolian people did not hold back and gathered all the young and strong people in the tribes, with a total of more than 60,000 cavalrymen. This was the limit of the ability to fight on the grassland.

After the Jin people retreated to their country, they were also worried about the two enemies in the west and southwest, and what they were most worried about was the Ming army. After all, the other party was a new victorious army and when the morale was at its highest, they would probably not be able to bear it. But the reality was beyond their expectations, and the person who was really fighting was the *** people in the west.

The 30,000 Jin troops guarding the border could not resist when they faced twice the enemy. The people still remembered how the Jin people harmed their relatives and friends in the past. This time, they naturally had grudges and revenge. The 60,000 *** cavalry slashed through the Jin territory like locusts, and moved all the small tribes under the Jin regime, which was considered to have avenged the arrow. However, the Mongols fought with all their might this time not only for revenge, but also had greater ambitions. Seeing that the Jin army was defeated step by step, they simply drove straight into Shenyang, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, with the purpose of destroying the country.

At this moment, the Jin Kingdom could no longer sit still. The Meng people, who had been suppressed by themselves and had no power to fight back, actually took advantage of their defeat and even wanted to destroy the country in one battle. This was unbearable for the proud Jurchens.

Taking advantage of this critical situation, the Jin nobles who had always been honest also began to move, thinking of regaining the power of the Jin Kingdom and pulling Huang Taiji out of the position of Khan. Huang Taiji had already vaguely noticed this. He knew what those people did, but the fact that they invaded the Ming Dynasty and were defeated reduced his personal prestige to the lowest point. With his own authority, he could no longer suppress the powerful people. In desperation, Huang Taiji had to choose to take out his brothers again and fight side by side with him.

Although these brothers were eyeing Huang Taiji's Khan throne, no matter how much they said, we were all a family and were better than outsiders. Of course, those brothers would not miss such an opportunity to regain military power. Manguertai, Daishan, Tabai, Abatai and others asked their Khan for military power. Their reasons were very simple. The nobles who had different intentions towards the Khan all had their own troops, and of course they had to rely on some to help the Khan.

In desperation, Huang Taiji had to hand over the command power of several flags of horses that were originally held in his hands. Under the attacks inside and outside, as well as the defeat of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji, who had always been in good health, finally fell ill.

At this time, under the repeated obstacles of the Jin people, the Mongols' advancement slowed down, but the situation in the Jin Kingdom became more and more nervous. Seeing that the sweat had fallen, the ministers in the court were even more anxious, and one of them smiled. He knew that his chance had appeared again. This person was Dorgon, who had already mastered the military power of the Zhengbai Banner.

The battle of the rear severance outside Shanhaiguan made Dorgon's reputation suddenly regained in the minds of the Eight Banners' children. The Jin people valued martial arts. A general who could lead everyone to victory was admired by these bloody men. Dorgon also had the title of Nurhaci's son, which made people feel close to him. In this way, although the army returned to the Jin Kingdom, Huang Taiji could no longer take away the military power of the Zhengbai Banner in his hand.

However, Dorgon believed that this was far from enough. His goal was to become a big man like his father Khan. In his mind, his father Khan always flashed with the heroic posture of his father Khan wearing armor and a helmet and being worshipped by Dajin. This was his lifelong pursuit. Now he has gained some bargaining chips, and the next time it is time to get more people back.

Once he has enough power in his hands, Dorgon will kick his brother Huang Taiji from the position of Khan without hesitation. This is the example set by the fourth brother he saw before his father died. As long as he can accomplish things and achieve great things, all family affection and principles can be stepped on by his feet.

Now Dorgon has to work hard to gain more power by himself. What he has to do is very simple, that is, to take his men and horses to sweep the Mongols from the land of the Jin Kingdom. To achieve this, the most important thing is to get the approval of the Khan, who asked him to bring his troops to fight with the *** army.

"Shan, are your health better?" Dorgon was always so polite in front of Huang Taiji. At this time, he half-kneeled in front of Huang Taiji's bed and asked quietly.

"Cough cough cough cough cough..." After coughing for a while, Huang Taiji said with difficulty: "The Han people have a very right saying, "There is a mountain that comes and falls, and the disease goes and gets like a thread. Although I have been cured by the imperial physician, it is not that easy to get better. And now I am not worried about my own body, but the situation in my Dajin. If those people fight for their own interests, we will be unable to stop the *** people anymore." |

"Don't worry when you sweat. The most important thing for you now is to take care of yourself. Leave the things outside to your brothers."

"Hmph, leave it to them? What they did was not the same as everyone else? They only knew to ask me for military power, and just wanted to recruit gang members. When did they consider the safety of my Dajin?"

"Great Khan, I know that you are all determined to make things difficult for the situation of my Dajin. I am here to share the burden for you." Dorgon said as he secretly looked at his brother's face, and found that he had no doubts, so he continued: "The Meng people are becoming more and more arrogant now. If they cannot be defeated early, my Dajin will suffer a great loss. According to my brother's wishes, we should send an elite soldier to deal with them!"

"I can't use those people now..." Speaking of this, Huang Taiji seemed to know what Dorgon meant and looked at him and said, "Do you want to lead troops to share my worries?"

"Yes, please give me this opportunity." Dorgon replied without hesitation.
