Chapter 771 I miss Shanxi merchants

After Huang Taiji returned to Shenyang, he locked himself in the imperial study alone and saw no one. The serving eunuchs and maids were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but they did not dare to disturb him. When Bumbutai came over, these people seemed to have seen a savior and quickly stepped forward to report the situation.

"Your Majesty said that he just wants to be quiet. No one can disturb him, and he cannot disturb others. But it has been almost a day, and not a drop of water has entered, and not a grain of rice has touched. What should I do?"

Bumbutai was very surprised when she heard this, but she knew that at times like this, she should not panic. Years of living in the harem have taught her how to deal with various emergencies.

So, she seemed very indifferent and told the eunuch and the maid: "I will report to Your Majesty that I am here and want to see Your Majesty!"

With her coming forward, these eunuchs and maids were naturally very happy, as if they had found a backbone, and hurriedly went to report the matter. But soon, he came back disappointed, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty said, he just wants to be quiet and see no one!"

After hearing this, Bumbutai frowned, determination quickly appeared on his face, and he said decisively: "Get out of the way!"

After saying that, she walked inside.

When the eunuchs and maids heard this, they became anxious and quickly stopped them: "His Majesty just said..."

"If something goes wrong with His Majesty's health, which one of you can take the responsibility?" Bumbutai shouted sternly with a serious face. This made the eunuchs and maids listen, but no one dared to answer the question. Really, none of them can bear this responsibility!

Bumubutai saw that his words shocked them, so he softened his tone and said: "When I meet with Your Majesty, I will say that you have fulfilled your responsibilities, and I must break in. No, It’s none of your business!”

Having said this, she stopped talking and immediately stepped forward.

Those eunuchs and maids had wry smiles on their faces. Although Bumu Butai said so, if Huang Taiji really wanted to pursue the case, they knew that this reason was untenable. However, Huang Taiji's current physical condition was very bad. If it dragged on any longer, they really wouldn't be able to handle it if something happened, so they had no choice but to let her go in by default.

With a "squeak" sound, the door of the imperial study room opened. In the evening, the light was already a little dark, but the interior of the imperial study room was even darker, and there was no light inside!

"Who asked you to come in?" Huang Taiji suddenly shouted with a tired voice, "Do you really think that I can't kill people because I'm being bullied by others?"

"Your Majesty, it's me!" Bumbutai answered softly after hearing this, then closed the door, lit a candle, and walked slowly over following the sound.

When Huang Taiji heard that it was her, he stopped speaking. Bumbutai did not explain why the eunuchs and maids outside did not stop her, and simply ignored it.

The light reflected the light, allowing Bumubutai to see clearly Huang Taiji who was slumped on the throne, and she was immediately shocked.

Huang Taiji looked very bad and seemed to be very haggard. The self-confidence and wise and mighty aura that he had before were all gone. Now he looked like a fat man who was about to die.

Huang Taiji seemed to be indifferent to Bumbutai's arrival and ignored him. It seemed that he really just wanted to be quiet and didn't want to communicate with anyone.

Bumbutai quickly came to her senses, her surprised expression quickly disappeared. After her mind started spinning rapidly, she did not try to persuade her, but walked slowly to Huang Taiji, squatted down, then stretched out her hands and squeezed them with just the right amount of force. Huang Taiji's legs and other things, at the same time, said softly: "Your Majesty, you and I are husband and wife, we share weal and woe. Only when your Majesty is well can I be well! If you have anything to do, can you tell me?"

She made her position clear at the beginning, that she was on Huang Taiji's side, a community of interests, which made Huang Taiji listen and finally looked down at her.

Humans are social animals, and communication is a natural need. If you have something, you can't keep it in your heart forever. You must have someone to talk to. This object can be men, women, old or young, relatives and friends, or gods and Buddhas all over the sky, etc.

Huang Taiji had no one to talk to about all his worries, so he locked himself in the imperial study. At this time, Fujin, who saw her, came to care about her and reminded her of her identity. It made sense when he thought about it. After waiting for a while, he slowly spoke.

"I really suffered a big defeat this time. There is no way to argue or explain it. After this battle, the situation that the Qing Dynasty will face in the future will be even worse. It is hard for me to imagine!"

When Huang Taiji said this, he looked at Bumubutai's face carefully. He saw that her face was as gentle as before. She was just listening without changing her expression at all. He couldn't help but feel a little better and continued to talk. .

"Looking back and thinking about it now, I find that this battle has been decided from the beginning. The Qing Dynasty will be defeated! It is said that before the soldiers and horses are moved, food and grass go first. But what the Qing Dynasty lacks is food and grass. Also, know yourself and your enemy. But the Qing Dynasty knew nothing about the situation in the Ming Dynasty. When did the Ming army have such a powerful force, why did they have so many firearms, and what kind of people were their generals? All of these were completely unknown. As you know. These two most decisive conditions for victory have not been met, so how can we win this battle?"

When Huang Taiji said this, he talked a lot. He seemed to be a little more relaxed and energetic. He sat up, touched Bumbutai's head, and then continued: "After this matter, I really understand Without those Shanxi merchants, I would have no food and grass, and no source of news from the Ming Dynasty, which is why we are in the current situation. Speaking of which, this year has been particularly difficult. The reason is because of the lack of Shanxi merchants. !”

At this point, he suddenly sighed and said with regret: "I have thought about solving these two most critical problems. However, our Qing Dynasty is a cold place with a shortage of supplies. We want to rely on the Qing Dynasty to support ourselves. Self-sufficiency is really impossible!”

Huang Taiji paused, feeling the comfortable feeling of being kneaded on his legs. After being silent for a while, he continued: "I have actually worked hard on the news about the Ming Dynasty. I sent people to Guan Nei, But it was of little use. In fact, the people sent were not as capable as the Shanxi merchants. Something like the Shanxi merchants happened again, which made the Ming Dynasty take precautions. There was Shanhaiguan and the sea, so the transmission of news was really difficult. It’s too difficult!”

"By the way, it is also because of these two reasons that our Qing Dynasty cannot obtain enough grain and grass supplies from the prosperous Ming Dynasty. We either have ships or conquer Shanhaiguan, but the Qing Dynasty does not have these conditions. The neighboring Qing Dynasty, North Korea has been wiped clean, and all the grassland tribes are poor, with no supplies at all..."

When he mentioned the grassland, he couldn't help but think of what happened with the Mongols, and he couldn't help but sigh again.

There's a lot going on today, so there's only one update left, and there should be at least 4 updates tomorrow.
