I'm a pirate at the end of Ming Dynasty

Under Jinzhou City, the cold light shines on the iron clothes.

Huang Taiji sat on the main seat, stroking the short beard on his chin with one hand, and holding a copy of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which he regarded as a treasure book on the art of war, in the other hand. He was reading while waiting for the generals to come over to discuss matters.

After waiting like this for as long as a stick of incense, Huang Taiji almost finished reading a chapter. The generals arrived belatedly, and the several banner leaders were chatting and laughing, not serious at all.

Huang Taiji felt like a mirror in his mind. Everyone was tired of fighting. Seeing that his ancestor had surrendered and rebelled again, he was so stubborn that it seemed that Jinzhou City could not be defeated in a short period of time. There is nothing to loot, and morale has been depleted.

Of course, the most important thing is the Eight Banners system of the Qing Dynasty, which did not establish the supreme authority for the monarch. Sometimes I really envy the system of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor can do whatever he says, unlike now, where he has to follow these rules to do anything. Brothers discuss.

"Everyone is here?"

Huang Taiji closed the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, glanced at the banner leaders and generals below with sharp eyes, and said, "Are you unable to fight anymore and don't want to fight?"

No one said anything, Huang Taiji's eyes were a little penetrating today.

But Huang Taiji took out a Kuai Ma Urgent Report from the drawer, threw it to Duduo, who was No. 1 next, and said: "Take a look, are you satisfied? Pass it around and read it."

Duduo didn't know what was going on, and was shocked when he saw it. He immediately threw the emergency report to the ground and cursed: "This is unreasonable! This is simply unreasonable! I have already said that these Han people are unreliable. Brother Bago, you have to believe them. This Let’s do it, ha, if you ask me, we should kill all those Han people!”

Others obviously didn't understand why Duduo was so angry, and even yelled directly in Huang Taiji's face. You must know that although the two of them were often nasty, at least on the surface Duduo was relatively respectful to the Khan. , what happened?

Huang Taiji took the initiative to explain: "Something happened at home. Azig and Jilhalang were ambushed when they were escorting Kong Youde. They were plotted by the Ming army. They were heavily damaged by random artillery fire. Jilhalang was seriously injured and his life or death was uncertain. Jinzhou City was attacked by monk Shen Shikui in a surprise attack, and all the clansmen in the city were massacred."

"what?"

There was a sudden chaos in the camp, and everyone started shouting. Huang Taiji just sighed slightly and poured himself a cup of tea.

Among the Manchu generals, a large number of people have always supported Duduo, advocating harsh punishment of the Han people, and were very dissatisfied with Huang Taiji's reuse of Han people, and even the benevolent practices of the Manchu and Han families, believing that this move harmed their Manchu empire. In people's interests, it is only because Huang Taiji's skill in doing things is so powerful that he has not caused any trouble. Now that such a big thing has happened, why not make a scene?The words of pointing guns and sticks at Sang and Huai immediately blurted out, while Huang Taiji drank tea quietly, pretending not to hear.

He had just dealt with Mang Gurtai this year, and it was really hard to kill another brother. Besides, although Duduo was domineering and arrogant, at least he had no intention of threatening his position besides being bad to the Han people, so it was within the tolerance range.

Of course, apart from these useless nonsense, there are still people who can ask for the point. His own son Hauge, who had just taken over Zhenglan Banner, frowned when he heard this and said: "Is this Mao Wenlong coming back from the dead? Where did they come from? Such courage? Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were just lost dogs, and they were no longer tolerated by the Southern Dynasties. How could they ambush Jierhalang? It is impossible that the Wuqiao mutiny last year was fake, and this fake surrender of the Southern Dynasty was too expensive. Come on! What's more gratifying, didn't Fan Wencheng sworn that he had reached an agreement with this person? Didn't he say that he and Shen Shikui had no common ground and hated him to death? How could he join forces with Shen Shikui to attack Jinzhou City? Father, is this a fraud?"

Huang Taiji was still very calm after hearing this, and just sighed and said: "It's funny to say it, but there is a rich man who went from the southeast to the north. It is said that he dropped millions of taels of silver, and actually used it to destroy Mao Wenlong's I picked up the remaining parts and screwed them all up. After all the calculations, I didn't even count such a small person."

"Rich man? What rich man?"

"The king of the southeastern Japanese pirates, the younger brother of Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhipeng."

All the generals looked at each other, they really had never heard of this person.

"Zheng Zhilong...isn't he a Japanese pirate from the Southern Dynasties? He...what does he have to do with us? If it is said that he fell in love with Geng Zhongming and his navy and wanted to recruit them, it might make sense. Why bother with us?"

"He wrote a letter to Azig and left four words to explain the reason: He has come."

"…………"

"…………"

"…………"

Several Eight Banners chiefs and deputy flag-bearers went crazy when they heard this, they were so arrogant!So arrogant!What a bully!All of them wanted to scold Zheng Zhipeng's eighteen generations of ancestors, and they all asked Ying to capture this Zheng and execute him in Lingchi.

Neuropathy this is!

However, Huang Taiji just listened and said nothing. When the generals were tired of scolding, he stretched out his hand to signal them to sit down.

In fact, when he first received the emergency report, his reaction was similar to that of the people below. It's just that after thinking about it for such a short time, he more or less figured out what Zheng Zhipeng was thinking, and there was an extra rival competing for the world. Thinking of the fact that the Zheng family is said to be rich and powerful, I am afraid that this person is much more powerful than Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and his like.

It should have been a good thing for me to have such a famous figure in the Southern Dynasty, but this person interfered like this, but he hit me right on the seven inches. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional. , It’s okay if it’s unintentional, but if it’s intentional... I’m afraid he will be a lifelong rival.

Huang Taiji's destiny has never been Jinzhou City. Even if Shengjing or even Hetuala were defeated, it would not be his destiny. But these Han people are his real destiny. No one else. , just four words: Manchu and Han family.

This is Huang Taiji’s ideal, or his basic political stance. There are too few Manchus. The total population is less than 20. If you want to take over the Central Plains, you must unite all the forces that can be united and build a Manchu, Han and Mongolian people. He was worried about returning to a united multi-ethnic regime.

Objectively speaking, in terms of military strength alone, Huang Taiji is not necessarily stronger than his father Nurhachi, and may even be much weaker. However, this person is ten times and a hundred times more powerful than his father. This is why. The four words "Manchu and Han" should be mentioned. Otherwise, if people like Duduo are allowed to take power, they will never be able to conquer Shanhaiguan in eight lifetimes.

However, it is easier said than done. From the perspective of the Han people, the blood debt during the Nurhaci period is far from being forgotten. Most Han people in Liaodong still hate the Manchus to the core. Although Mao Wenlong and his like have not reappeared, they have not done anything about it. How do they support it? From the perspective of the Manchus, Duduo and his like are by no means an exception. They are still the overwhelming majority of people who fear the same. At present, the four words are just slogans.

Otherwise, Huang Taiji is not crazy, why should he treat Kong Youde and others with the courtesy of a king with a different surname?Did he send these [-] Han troops?This is a sign of establishment. Mao Wenlong’s old subordinates were demoted. What a good publicity effect is this?If this Han army can make some military exploits in the future to silence the stubborn mouths of the Manchus, wouldn't this matter be almost done?

Unexpectedly, they tried a trick of pretending to surrender. It's hard to say what the Han people's reaction would be, but on the Manchu side... Just take a look at Duduo, and he's so angry that his eyes almost bulged out.

Zheng Zhipeng, that’s interesting.

"Send the order to withdraw the troops quickly. Hauge leads the Zhenglan Banner as the vanguard to recapture Jinzhou City and let the Southern Barbarians see the power of our Eight Banners cavalry."

"Yes."
