Chapter 800 Thirty Years in Hedong and Thirty Years in Hexi

Eqirtu and other envoys from the Mongolian tribes finally returned to the post house from the Beijing camp with emotions such as satisfaction and excitement.

For them, it was indeed a big gain. Unexpectedly, the training of the new army would be so systematic and standardized, and they received special care from the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and were able to study. If he really learns the skills of the new army, and then goes back to train the tribe's soldiers and horses, the tribe's strength will definitely increase a lot.

Naturally, they made up their mind that they must stay more time after the new year and select more people to study with them. It would be really stupid not to seize such a good opportunity!

A big thing was done, and Eqirtu and others finally had time to pay attention to everything around them.

"The capital of the Ming Dynasty is so prosperous. In the past, I never imagined that there would be such a tall city wall, so many people, so many shops, so many goods..."

"Haha, no, our place in the Western Region is definitely not as good as here!"

"Look, it seems that many families are decorating with lanterns and colorful decorations. It feels so festive, even more lively than our wedding over there!"

"The people of Ming Dynasty are really happy to live in such a prosperous place!"

"..."

As these Western Mongolian envoys walked back, they said with emotion that regardless of their status in their own tribe, after comparing them in private, they found that the gap between the two sides was too big.

They were ordered to take them back to the post house. The general who had been silent listened to them and his heart was full of pride: No, now our Ming Dynasty has a good emperor, and everyone's life will naturally become easier and easier. You guys It would be strange not to envy these barbarians! When you live in the capital for a period of time, you will be able to taste all kinds of delicious food and see all kinds of things, and you will probably not miss Shu!

Unlike the lively, festive and peaceful atmosphere here in the capital, there is almost no festive atmosphere in Shenyang, Liaodong. The whole city was not very lively. Apart from soldiers patrolling the streets, no one else was seen taking to the streets to drink, eat, eat and chat. Even if there were a few people occasionally, they would all pass by in a hurry.

Near the top of the city, a group of recently beheaded heads were hung, saying that these were Ming Dynasty traitors and Jin Yiwei. Even if a few of them are serious Jurchens, they will still be charged with this crime. Because the announcement said that they were from the former Yehenala tribe, and there were members of their tribe in the Dongjiang Army. These people who were chopped off were their internal agents.

However, most people in Shenyang City know the truth. It's just that these people were a little prominent in talking about the national destiny in the past few days, and their status was low. They were caught and beheaded by Huang Taiji to achieve the effect of killing others. As for those with status, whether they were the sons or daughters of Xian Khan, they were all detained for reasons such as rebellion, and were either killed violently or imprisoned, and none of them ended well.

Under such white terror, who is still in the mood to go out on the streets to drink and have fun? Who is still in the mood to celebrate? Most people in Shenyang City are just worried and resentful.

Even though Huang Taiji had carried out all his intentions and successfully silenced everyone in Shenyang City and no longer dared to talk about the national destiny, Huang Taiji was not in a good mood. He had already received a memorial sent back by someone from Jilharang, indicating that there were changes in the army and an attempt to attack the camp. Fortunately, he gave up the camp decisively after testing, otherwise he would have been defeated again.

Jierhalang also emphasized in his heart: The Ming army in Gaizhou is definitely the most powerful Ming army I have ever seen in my life. The two thousand men he currently has cannot face this Ming army head-on. I hope Shenyang can send reinforcements. He even offered a strategy, hoping to annihilate this powerful Ming army.

Jierhalang could feel that the Ming army would not be satisfied with just capturing the city of Gaizhou. If the heavy snow had not covered the roads and made it difficult for the Ming army to march, they would probably have gone to attack Haizhou. The Ming army has artillery in hand, so it is not difficult to capture Haizhou.

Ji'erhalang's strategy is to keep showing weakness to the enemy in the open. Of course, he cannot be strong. Harassing the Ming army and avoiding a direct confrontation with the Ming army. If the Ming army leaves the city, when they are far away from the wild areas of Gaizhou, reinforcements will suddenly appear and surround them in one fell swoop. At least Jierhalang felt that only by doing this would he have the greatest possibility of annihilating this Ming army.

Huang Taiji also agreed with the strength of this Ming army. It can be said that Huang Taiji was more eager than Jierhalang to annihilate this Ming army. Regarding Jierhalang's strategy, Huang Taiji also thought it would be useful. However, at this moment, he could not send out troops. One is that there is no food and grass, and the other is that the turmoil in the capital has just passed and the situation is not stable enough. If a large army is sent out, it is not known what changes will occur in Shenyang City. After all, he knew very well that there was another powerful brother in the city who threatened him, but he hadn't made a move yet.

Huang Taiji never dreamed that one day he would be lucky to have heavy snowfall, making it difficult for people to move in the wild. You know, only the Ming army would think this way before. It’s really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi!

However, the only good news is that good news finally came from Horqin. Hauge finally controlled the two tribes and made them agree to pretend to join the Ming Dynasty, obtain food, and then transfer it to the Qing Dynasty. However, it will take at least a long time to get the food.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji couldn't help but feel a few hairs turning gray again. Food, food, I want food!

At the same time, in Seoul, far away in North Korea, if it were any different in the past, they would also be celebrating the New Year. At this time, at least in Seoul, a festive atmosphere can be seen. But at this moment, Seoul is exactly the same as Shenyang. There is almost no human habitation on the streets, and there are not many households with cooking smoke, let alone setting off firecrackers.

Not only is this the case in the city, but even the most powerful person in the city is in the same mood, or even worse.

At this time, Dorgon had received the imperial edict from Huang Taiji. He had already received the edict himself and sent the person who conveyed the edict to rest. He threw the imperial edict to Duduo, who came after hearing the news, but he was listening to a confidant who came back talking about things in Liaodong.

Duduo quickly read the imperial edict with a solemn look on his face. When he heard the words, he threw the imperial edict aside. Apparently he didn't care much about Huang Taiji's edict.

"How is that possible? You said that the Ming army won the battle in Gaizhou, or was it a great victory?" Duduo listened and suddenly interrupted with disbelief.

I have to work overtime today, the next chapter should be late afternoon, and there should be 3 updates today. After all, I owe a debt and will work hard to renew it.
