Moreover, the messenger seemed to be even more tired, and was almost dragged in by the personal guards: "North Korea is 800 miles away!"

Upon hearing this report, everyone was stunned. No matter how numb, stupid, or arrogant a person is, if they see North Korea sending two 800-mile express trains in less than half a day, they can be sure that something big has happened to North Korea!

At the moment when he heard the words, Huang Taiji looked at the movements of the Mongolian tribal leaders, and for the first time he felt very regretful. He should not have given the order to hurry up to 800 miles and rush straight to the imperial front!

But at this time, he couldn't care less. He hurriedly took the urgent letter forwarded by the chamberlain, and his chubby hands were slightly trembling even though he had killed countless people. Although he didn't look at it, he was basically sure that this second eight-hundred-mile rush was definitely not a good thing. It was likely that something big had happened based on the first rush.

At this time, the hall was very quiet. It was two extremes from the bustle of the previous dinner. It was no exaggeration to say that it was so quiet that you could hear the drop of a pin. Everyone stared at Huang Taiji with bated breath, staring at his face, trying to see any clues.

After Huang Taiji unfolded it, to everyone's surprise, he didn't even hold the letter and fell to the ground. His face immediately became extremely ugly, as if he had aged a lot.

Suddenly, everyone felt bad. This also made them more curious, wondering what happened that made the Qing Emperor act so rude in public!

The chamberlain next to Huang Taiji hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the letter and presented it to the imperial case. Huang Taiji himself did not read the letter again, but just looked at the ground blankly. After a while, he slowly raised his head, without a smile on his face, nor did he go to the back hall to discuss it again. , seemed to have used a lot of energy to say: "Let's break up the banquet. We will discuss the alliance's Western Expedition next year. Everyone, please go back first while I deal with the matters at hand."

These words once again surprised everyone, including Daishan, Amin and others. It was obvious that they had just discussed it in the back hall, and Huang Taiji himself made a final conclusion in a categorical tone. What kind of news made Huang Taiji slap himself in the face and announce this decision in public, making the alliance become like a child's play house and break up as soon as possible?

Among the leaders of the Mongolian tribe, several people hesitated to speak. They wanted to ask clearly what happened? But Huang Taiji obviously didn't want to say it. At this time, if he asked questions, he might not only get no answers, but he might even be worried about the Qing Emperor.

"Your Majesty, let me take my leave then..." Wu Keshan bowed first. He originally wanted to say something, but at the moment he didn't know what to say. Could it be that he wanted Huang Taiji to express his condolences? Although Huang Taiji did seem to be feeling sad when he looked at him, he didn't say what was going on. What if it was inappropriate to express condolences?

So he wisely shut up and said no more. With him taking the lead, other leaders of the Mongolian tribes also stood up and said goodbye.

At this time, Huang Taiji managed to squeeze out a smile and waved them away. In just a moment, not a single Mongolian tribe was left in the main hall. The only ones left were the monarchs and ministers of the Qing Dynasty.

Without outsiders, Daishan was the first to be unable to bear it and immediately went out and asked, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, has something serious happened?" Amin followed closely and asked.

As the prince, Hauge was very worried. Only when the Qing Dynasty prospered could he be the prince. However, Huang Taiji didn't call him for the first meeting, and he obviously didn't think highly of him. He didn't know what happened, so he felt panic in his heart.

The others said nothing and just looked at their emperor.

Huang Taiji seemed to have no strength to speak and pointed at the table. The chamberlain on the side immediately stepped forward and presented the letter to the courtiers below.

Daishan couldn't even wait for the waiter to deliver it to his hands. He walked a few steps forward, reached for the letter, and read it quickly.

Amin, who was behind him, saw him and walked forward, wanting to get closer and have a look. But before he could reach Daishan's side, he saw Daishan's hand shaking and he failed to grab the letter and dropped it to the ground.

However, Daishan was not in a daze, but immediately knelt down to pick it up, handed it to Amin, then looked at Huang Taiji with a pale face, and seemed to be unable to say loudly: "There are nearly four thousand Zhengbai Banner soldiers in Beijing." Look, this Ming army is so ruthless! The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty in North Korea have been frightened. The food can be confirmed to have fallen into the hands of the Ming army and cannot be recovered. This... This makes us how the Qing Dynasty will survive this winter. ?”

Such news could no longer be concealed, so it was no wonder that Huang Taiji no longer persisted.

The sound of "clang" sounded, but when the leader of the Jianlu clan heard what he said, he was frightened and knocked down the wine bottle on the table.

But at this time, no one cared about this. The Jianlu in the palace all had expressions of disbelief, thinking that they had heard wrong. How could this be possible?

At the beginning, Nurhachi was biased and assigned all the elites to Zhengbai Banner for Duduo to lead. It can be said that the strength of the Zhengbai Banner is definitely at the forefront among the Eight Banners of Manchuria. So many people died at once, not casualties, but real battle deaths. This was definitely a very big blow to Zhengbai Qi!

This thought flashed across their minds, and their attention quickly focused on the most critical place. The leaders of the Jianlu in these palaces were all at the highest level of the Jianlu. Naturally, they knew that the most lacking thing in the Qing Dynasty was food. We also know that the greatest hope of the Qing Dynasty to get through this winter first is to count on Duduo to transport back the grain collected from North Korea.

But now I heard the news that the food is gone. So what will we do this winter?

It was very quiet in the main hall. Everyone was motionless, just like clay bodhisattvas. Only the messenger who was reading the letter made any movement. It was obvious that they were all a bit shocked by the news.

After a while, Huang Taiji calmed down. He knew that no matter how much he vented his emotions at this time, it would be useless. After trying to calm down, he said slowly: "Dorgon has already led the elite troops. We will send people to North Korea to find out what the actual war situation is. Know the origin of the Ming army that suddenly appeared on the Korean battlefield!"

At this point, after he paused, he seemed to have thought of something again, and then ordered again: "The navy of the Ming army is too powerful. They can land anywhere and make it difficult for me to defend them! Send an order to give preferential treatment to the North Korean navy and shipbuilding craftsmen. We don’t need to be able to fight with the Ming navy, but at least our Qing navy can give early warning and detect the military situation. If we just deal with it in the isolation area, we will be like a blind or deaf person. This passive lesson is too heavy!"
