He's coming, he's coming!

He came after me full of rage!

Run and run all the way!

Finally, in the evening the day after the Ming army burned Jinzhou, Huang Taiji, who led the elite 38,000 bannermen, finally arrived at the gate of Jinzhou City.

Huang Taiji, who is only 48 years old this year, is definitely an outlier among the Jurchens. He has been fighting with his father and brother since he was a boy. Not only is he extremely proficient in military warfare, but his political skills are also outstanding. Otherwise, he would not be the eighth son.

Defeating his brother and becoming Nurhachi's heir, it is even more impossible to build this tribal alliance into a country in a few years.

But as the founder of the country, he must be good at military affairs. He naturally knows the principle of food and grass going first before the troops and horses are moved. But this time Huang Taiji did not bring much baggage. He followed the car lightly and ran quickly. The reason why he did this

Violating a taboo among military strategists, to put it bluntly, it was because he was afraid!

He was afraid that the Ming army would escape from Liaodong by boat!

If they escape, it doesn't matter if they escape with their gold, silver and jewelry. If those things were robbed, they were robbed. It's not a big deal. The big deal is that they can just rob them back later.

But his great fortune, his side fortune, and so many concubines were all robbed. So many princes and Baylor's fortunes in the Qing Dynasty were also robbed. If this news spread, it would not only be embarrassing. It would even shake people's minds.

Nationally based!

What is national origin?

Lianmeng is the foundation of the Qing Dynasty!

Back then, he used the imperial seal to build momentum and proclaimed himself emperor, and it was the 49 Baylors of the Sixteenth Mongolian tribe and the Jurchen princes and Baylors who elected him emperor. Why did those Mongols elect him? Just because they defeated them on the battlefield.

Yet?

The answer is of course no.

It's not because he gave those Mongolians many benefits. It's because they are a family! Because they are a family, they can rob things from the Ming Dynasty together and make everyone rich together.

Because they are a family, there are only seven people in his harem of thirteen who are Mongolians. In addition to the Borzhijin family of the Golden Family, there are also members of the Chahar tribe, his Dafu Jin, and Side.

Fujin is the most noble Boerzhijin clan on the grassland. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to abolish his previous Fujin.

In addition to other princes, Baylor's blessings, concubines, and the princesses who were married to the grasslands by the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty relied on marriage to win the Mongols onto the Qing chariot. The Qing Dynasty did not only

Not just the Jurchens, the Qing Dynasty was also the Qing Dynasty of the Mongols.

Of course, in this alliance, the Jurchens occupy a dominant position. The reason why they can dominate is because the Jurchens are stronger.

But now... Shengjing has been burned, his home has been robbed, and even he, the emperor, Fujin, has been robbed. This matter is not just embarrassing. The rules on the grassland are very simple - the strong

For your respect, a Great Khan who can't even keep a woman is not worthy of being a Great Khan, let alone the title of Emperor.

He must snatch her back before the news spreads throughout the grassland and before the various tribes in the grassland know that his wife, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, has been robbed...

Otherwise, it will shake the foundation of the country. Those Mongolians will no longer be able to tie themselves to the Qing chariot and eat meat and drink soup with the Qing Dynasty as they did in the past.

Those Mongolians might even have the idea of ​​letting the Jurchens follow them to eat meat and drink soup.

Therefore, he could only run all the way to catch up, without even bringing much luggage! In a word, he must get his wives back.

Of course, Huang Taiji also knew that the battlefield was changing rapidly, but he must be cautious when marching and fighting.

Therefore, even though he ran after him, he did not immediately issue the order to attack after arriving in Jinzhou. Instead, he ordered the sentry cavalry to inquire about the news. On the other hand, he ordered the Eight Banners soldiers to rest and prepare for war.

However, the news brought by the sentry soon kept him from coming to his senses for a long time - the Ming army not only did not escape, but also set up a defense line in the south of Jinzhou City and dug long trenches. Huang Taiji did not care about the long trenches.

Strange, after all, the Ming army would always dig long trenches outside the city as the first line of defense, and the Qing Dynasty would also use long trenches to siege the city. Anyway, it was trench against trench.

But why didn’t the Ming army leave?

Standing on a hill in the wilderness outside Jinzhou City, Huang Taiji held the "Telescope" given by Fan Yongdou in his hand and observed the long trenches of the Ming army.

"Fan Wencheng, Xifu...what do you think?"

When he put down his telescope, Huang Taiji did not ask Dodo, Azig and the others whether they could use troops to fight, but not others.

Everyone on the hill was silent. After a while, Xifu broke the silence:

"Your Majesty, if something goes wrong, there must be a monster. I think that when the army first arrives in Jinzhou, it is the time when the Ming army is recharging its strength and is in full strength. It is not possible to attack by force."

Xifu's surname is Hesheli. He joined Nurhachi from the Jurchen Hada Tribe and was subordinate to Zhenghuang Banner in Manchuria. He served as a political official at the Neiyuan Academy of History and was a bachelor at the Neihong Academy of Literature. He is proficient in Manchu, Chinese and Mongolian, and has been sent to Mongolia and Chaha many times.

The Er, Khalkha, and Horqin tribes were the most important promoters of the Manchu-Mongolian alliance. They had always been Huang Taiji's confidants, assisting him in handling major military and political affairs, and accompanying the army in making plans.

As a counselor, he naturally advocated caution. After all, it was rare for the Ming army to dare to cross the sea and attack Shengjing, so they must be cautious.

Huang Taiji's eyes suddenly turned to Fan Wencheng like lightning.

"Fan Wencheng, what do you think?"

"Let's find out who is leading the troops first!"

Fan Wencheng frowned and said.

"Your Majesty, I think that this time the Ming army invaded the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty by sea, and even took advantage of my emptiness to seize Shengjing. Such a person is not ordinary. I think that even Chongzhen does not have such insight.

It is really rare for someone to have such insight and march so boldly!"

Shifu smiled.

"Isn't there news that it's Prince De?"

Shaking his head, Fan Wencheng said seriously:

"Although the Ming Dynasty had no shortage of heroes, it is well known that the Ming Dynasty took very strict precautions against the vassal princes and clan members. Let alone leading troops to fight, even if they were even slightly interested in military affairs, some people would accuse them of being disobedient, and even the vassal princes and clan members would have to eat meat to protect themselves.

The common people, otherwise they are virtuous kings who seek fame and hope, and they must have a disobedient heart. Just like Prince De, Chongzhen ordered him to lead his troops south, but the purpose was just to find a reason to cause harm. Now he is using the excuse of killing officials and taking away his military power.

Imprisoning him in a high wall, but there is one thing that the slave really can't understand. Prince De grew up in a deep palace, lacks experience, and is young. Logically speaking, such a person should not be in the palace, so the slave

I feel that there must be someone else who is a master around him."

All right!

Our country, the Ming Dynasty, has its own national conditions. If the princes are raised like pigs, they cannot be virtuous kings. To be virtuous kings is to rebel. Now that such an alien has appeared, it really makes the entire Qing Dynasty confused.

In fact, for many years, spying on the military situation of the Ming Dynasty has been given top priority by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Not only did they obtain a large amount of intelligence through Shanxi merchants, but they also sent a large number of spies to the capital and nearby areas. As soon as there was important news, they would

It was immediately sent to the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

But it happened that the Ming court had no sense of confidentiality at all. Everything was reported in the newspapers and tabloids, and the spies knew the news without even having to pry. However, these spies, which had always been very useful, repeatedly happened to Prince De.

error.

First, I didn’t know that there was such a person in the clan, which led to Yue Tuo’s defeat in Jinan. Then I didn’t know how he was so bold. He was supposed to go south, but he actually dared to cross the sea and point directly at Shengjing.

His wife and daughter were robbed of easily snatched possessions.

What's even more annoying is that until now, they don't know whether it was Prince De who did this. Those slaves who said it was Prince De had never met the real master. As for them... they also guessed, that boy

He knows how to use fire...well! It is estimated that there is a high probability that that boy would not be able to set off such a big fire if it were anyone else.

After hearing Fan Wencheng's analysis, Huang Taiji glanced at the long trench of the Ming army, and then said.

"Go, send a messenger to deliver the message, saying that the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty wants to see the general who leads the Ming army!"

Huang Taiji didn't mention Prince De because he didn't know if it was because, well, my information about the Qing Dynasty was not good either...

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji felt even more depressed. His Fujin was robbed, and he didn't even know who it was.
