Ashes

Daishan was very surprised when he saw Dorgon: "Dorgon? Why are you here?"

"I'm here to find my mother-in-law."

These words startled Daishan: "You are looking for your mother-in-law, what are you doing here?"

"Huh? Isn't Erniang with you?" Dorgon said innocently.

"How could your mother-in-law be here with me?"

"But I heard that it was with you, so I found it."

"Who said that?" Daishan looked nervous and gloomy.

Dorgon pretended not to notice: "I didn't see who it was, I overheard it by accident. Second brother, is Er Niang really not here?"

Daishan smiled kindly: "Of course it's true, you want to find your mother, go home quickly, maybe she has already gone back."

"Oh, okay." Dorgon lowered his head in disappointment, turned and left.

When he turned his head, the pretended childishness on his face faded, replaced by a serious and cold one.

Pretending to have some rumors, such a reminder, should Daishan restrain himself?If he is smart enough, he should understand that although he is now No.1 under the Destiny Khan, his position is not unshakable.

In addition, De Yinze had to be removed as soon as possible, otherwise sooner or later he would be stabbed.

Dorgon calmed down a little, and walked out, but he didn't expect that his whereabouts were seen by another person, that is Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji came to discuss with Daishan about attacking Yehe, but unexpectedly met Dorgon.

Why did the fourteenth brother come to me during the day, but went to the second brother's house at night?Is there any connection between this?

With doubts, Huang Taiji continued to walk in.

When Dorgon returned home, Abahai really came back.She seemed to be in a good mood, with a spring breeze on her face.

"Dorgon, you came back so late, where did you go? Haven't you eaten yet? Are you starving?" Abahai scolded him with a smile.

Dorgon stepped forward a few steps, sat down at the dining table, and took a few mouthfuls of food: "Well, I'm starving to death. You are so kind, Er Niang, how can we live without you?"

This is deceitful, but also sincere.

At night, Jierharang came to Huang Taiji's house.Unlike usual, tonight he was wearing a military uniform.

When Huang Taiji saw it, he smiled: "You are not a child anymore, you are still eagerly looking forward to going to the battlefield, and you can't wait to put on your armor."

Jierharang argued: "I drank some wine with the soldiers, and came over before I had time to change. How could I be so childish."

Huang Taiji looked him up and down, nodded and said: "Not bad, it looks good."

He was wearing a blue flag with a blue background and a red border. He wore a deep blue color, which made him look more elegant than his brother Amin Belor.

Jierhalang happily sat beside Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji said: "This is the first time you have participated in an important battle, are you nervous?"

Ji Erhalang disdain: "I just go out hunting."

Huang Taiji smiled and said: "Okay, well said, isn't it just hunting, but the people hunting are from the Yehe tribe."

"Brother, you have already led the battle at the age of 20. Compared with me, I am really far behind."

"Do you want to be the banner owner too?"

A random question made Jierhalang stunned, the owner of the Xianglan Banner was Erbeile Amin.

"What are you afraid of? What else are you afraid to say on my side?" Huang Taiji sensed his thoughts.

Jierhalang sighed slightly: "Although my brother has a bad temper, I still hope that he can make more contributions to the Great Khan and serve the Great Khan faithfully."

"You just think too much about other people." Huang Taiji didn't delve too deeply into this topic, "Just now we have discussed the details of the conquest with the second brother, and we plan to report back to Father Khan tomorrow."

"How do we fight?"

"Yehe divides the east and west cities, Buyanggu occupies the west city, and Jintaishi occupies the east city. We can divide our troops into two groups and attack the east and west cities at the same time, and be alert to the reinforcements sent by the Ming Dynasty from Liaoshen. How to divide it will be revealed tomorrow. Discuss with Father Khan before deciding."

Jierhalang understood and was looking forward to the coming war with all his heart.

"By the way, do you know who I saw when I went to my second brother's house?"

"Who?"

"Dorgon."

"Dorgon? Brother, let me tell you something, don't be angry."

"what?"

"I always feel that there is a problem with the big concubine and those little ones. Do you remember the incident with the eagle a few years ago? I suspect that the big beile ordered Dorgon to do it, and the last time I tried to frame you , all have something to do with Big Baylor."

"The concubine and the second brother are too close, and I am also a little surprised. As for the second brother, Father Khan still values ​​him very much now. Father Khan doesn't care about the specific arrangement of each expedition. He just let us Discuss with your second brother."

"Let me say something offensive, Big Baylor can't tolerate you. If they really join forces, and the concubine is Dahan's favorite, then you will be in big trouble. Dorgon's closeness to you may be arranged by them. "

Huang Taiji weighed Ji Erhalang's words, and was noncommittal.

"If there is anything wrong with what I said, brother, don't blame me."

"No." Huang Taiji said lightly, "In fact, I have always had doubts in my heart."

"You still have less contact with Dorgon. You also say that he is smart. Who knows what thoughts are in his head. You can't always be on guard. What should you do if you are harmed by them due to negligence?"

"Second brother's sons are all close to me, especially Yuetuo and Sahalian. Dorgon has been with me since he was a child, so I don't believe in him."

"I'm afraid there will be some movement behind Big Baylor."

Huang Taiji shook his head, suddenly proud: "No, I'm afraid that he won't do anything. Maybe it's because this heir has been in office for a long time. The second brother has become more proud these years. But the prouder he is, the more likely he is to make mistakes. Just give me One chance, and I'm sure I'll let him fall."

"Then you must be careful!"

"Don't worry." Huang Taiji comforted him, "When did you see that I was careless?"

"Ah That's good."

"It's you, this expedition, you must perform well. Remember what I told you, every opportunity may change your destiny, and opportunities are fleeting, so you must seize every opportunity."

"Well, I keep it in my heart." Jierhalang looked at Huang Taiji's eyes with admiration and admiration.

The arrangements for the battle are in full swing, and all the banners have entered a state of combat readiness.

Nurhachi's ambition is rewarded, everything has come to fruition, and the unification of Jurchen is just around the corner.

Before he left for the expedition, a small episode happened in his home.

That day his concubine Jin Deyinze was dressed beautifully, a silky satin dress was worn on her body, and she looked like a delicate beauty.

So he took a few more glances.

It was these few glances that fell into the eyes of other wives and concubines, causing them to be jealous.

"Isn't that the best gold-weaving damask? I don't think the princess has any, so why sweat so much that I gave it to her?" Women's ability to distinguish such beautiful things is extraordinary.

A whisper drifted into Nurhachi's ears, so he asked Abahai, because he clearly remembered that the most beautiful things were given to his beloved woman.

Abahai was also very puzzled: "I remember that the Great Khan once gave me this satin, but I couldn't find it later for no reason. It's all because I didn't place it properly."

As a result, Deinze was sent to a dead end.

The production of the Jurchens is far behind that of the Han people. They cannot produce these gorgeous and luxurious things, and even many basic daily necessities cannot be self-sufficient.If you want to get it, you can only grab it from the Ming Dynasty.

Because of the shortage, it is a big deal to distribute the spoils. Generally, the Eight Banners share equally, and each gets a share.Therefore, hiding excess property privately is a big or small crime, let alone stealing it?And whether it is big or small, it is up to King Khan to decide.

De Yinze died quietly, because she had no children, so she didn't even leave her name.

Dorgon was relieved, because the person who reported Er Niang was no longer there, and one of his worries fell.

On August [-]th of the fourth year of Destiny, Nurhachi led the army to march towards Yehe City, and those who stayed behind in Jiefan were waiting for the triumphant return of the army.

Dorgon cut off a piece of fresh beef and threw it at the falcon's feet.

The falcon flapped its wings, jumped over in a flutter, stepped on the meat with one paw, pecked quickly with its hard beak, and tore off a piece of meat with a flick of its head. After shaking its head a few times, the meat slid into it. its stomach.

After a while, a whole piece of meat was eaten by it.

He was about to cut another piece, when there was a bang, the door was pushed open, and someone rushed in.

You don't need to look back to know that it must be Duoduo who is so rude.

I don't know if it's the shadow of his childhood, but Duoduo is always a little apprehensive when he sees the falcon, and he doesn't dare to get too close.

"I knew you were feeding this beast again." Duoduo stood behind him, looking up.

Seeing his nervous and careful look, Dorgon couldn't find it funny: "Scared?"

Duduo was the least aggressive, and immediately patted his chest and said, "What am I, Duduo, afraid of?"

Dorgon continued to feed.

After watching it for a while, Duoduo lost his patience: "Brother, I'm so suffocated, let's go out and play."

"Wait for me to feed."

Duoduo curled his lips and muttered: "It's not good to keep using this kind of thing to seduce your soul."

"What did you say?" Dorgon did not hear clearly, but he knew it was not a good thing.

Duoduo rolled his eyes and said triumphantly, "Brother, I also have something good for you."

"It's okay, why did you give me something?"

"No, I just want to give it to you! Just wait, I'll bring it right away!" After Duduo finished speaking, he ran away without a trace.

Dorgon was amused and curious at the same time, looking forward to what he was about to bring.
