Ashes

Of course Dorgon knew who she was, and I'm afraid he would never forget her after several reincarnations. Why did he, Dorgon, end up digging graves and whipping corpses?Thinking about that day when she served tea to everyone, she even had the urge to rush forward and strangle her to death, but she could only endure it.

"En." Dorgon replied lightly, "Let's talk, I'm going back to the house."

Bumbutai stared at Dorgon's back in a daze. Although she was young, she was very keen.

Xiao Yu'er tugged at her: "What's the matter?"

Bumbutai pursed his lips and shook his head: "It's nothing, I just think that Brother Fourteen doesn't seem to want to see me very much."

"Maybe he's tired, don't worry about it."

In March, the Kingdom of Jin changed its capital to Shenyang City again, and renamed Shenyang Shengjing, and established a foundation based on this city.

But in this year, many things have changed from quantitative to qualitative, and the influence has lasted for many years, and a turmoil is coming.

When Dorgon arrived at Huangtaiji's mansion, he saw Jierharang sitting in his study room, he had already drunk most of his tea, and he seemed to have waited for a long time.

"Mynah, hasn't he come back yet?" Dorgon sat opposite him.

Jierhalang hummed, but didn't say much.

Because of Jierharang's reticence, the atmosphere in the room seemed extremely deserted and dull.

"Have you been waiting for a long time? Where did the starling go? Didn't he come back in the morning?" Dorgon said without words.

Jierhalang was still cold: "I ran into him when he came back, and asked me to wait for him in the afternoon, but I don't know where he went."

Ever since he came to Yaozhou, his attitude towards him has been so indifferent.This is no wonder, after all, I have violated the interests of mynah, and mynah can not be held accountable does not mean that Jierhalang can let go.But he is the trusted confidant of Starlings, the future Prince Zheng, his bias is very likely to have a decisive effect on the overall situation in the future, the relationship with him cannot be stalemate.

Dorgon took a sip of tea, but stopped talking, and kept staring at Jierhalang.

Jierharang felt a little uncomfortable when he saw him: "Why do you keep looking at me?"

Dorgon said innocently: "I just feel envious of you."

"Envy? What do you envy me for?"

"I can always be with the starlings. Last time when Horqin was besieged by Chahar, Obateji came to rescue the soldiers. Didn't you follow the starlings to rescue them?"

"I'm going with the Xianglan flag, isn't it just to rescue Horqin? Three Baylor and four Baylor have gone, so I don't necessarily want Brother Amin to go too." Although Jierhalang said so, the expression on his face has eased.

"That's right, it's just such a trivial matter. I heard from Brother Azig that when our Eight Banners soldiers arrived, the people from the Chahar Department were so frightened that they ran away without a trace."

"The soldiers of the Eight Banners are famous far and wide, and Chahar's soldiers are no match for us. Of course, they will flee as far as they can." Jierhalang looked rather complacent, "You have quite a few men under your command, fifteen cows record, but more than me."

"That's because my father loves me. If I really want to go to the battlefield, I still have to rely on you."

A few words dispelled Ji Erhalang's indifference, and said with a smile: "In the future, when you grow up, you will be able to fight on the battlefield, which is frightening."

Dorgon took another sip of tea with a smile, and stopped talking, because things like winning people's hearts have to be done step by step.

Huang Taiji came back, he has been busy these days, his face is always tired.

Dorgon and Jierhalang came up to meet them, Huang Taiji glanced at them and motioned them to sit down.

"I've been waiting for a long time. I forgot the time when I talked with Father Khan. Are you hungry? I'll send someone to bring you some food." Huang Taiji said.

"It didn't take long, I'm not hungry, so don't bother."

"I'm dying, I want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

Dorgon and Jierharang spoke together, and looked at each other after speaking.It was Jierharang who said he was not hungry, and Dorgon who said he wanted to eat.

"Well, I'm not hungry either." Dorgon shrugged.

Huang Taiji smiled, and called Dundari to tell him to get the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

"You sit, what are you doing standing up. What do you want me to do?"

Dorgon gnawed on the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and didn't raise his head to speak. Jierhalang looked at him and then at Huang Taiji, but he didn't speak.

Huang Taiji was busy on his own, took out a map from the desk, waited for a long time without hearing their voices, and wondered: "Why don't you speak? Dorgon, what's the matter with you?"

"I'm fine, I haven't seen myna for a few days, I just came to see." Dorgon took it for granted.

Huang Taiji said, "Where is Jierhalang?"

Jierhalang said awkwardly: "Actually, I'm fine. You went to Yaozhou Haizhou to see how the situation is?"

"What else can I do? Father Khan said that he killed the Han people as spies, but the Han people are so dissatisfied, how can they tell who is a spy and who is not?"

"Have many Han Chinese been killed?"

Huang Taiji said coldly: "Many, very many."

"However, it can be regarded as a temporary solution to our worries. We will go out or hunt in a short time, so we don't have to worry about them rebelling."

"It's nothing more than treating the symptoms, not the root cause." Because he was facing Dorgon and Jierhalang, Huang Taiji spoke more casually, "But you can rest assured for the time being, just now I was discussing with Father Khan the plan to go to the Ming Dynasty again. "

Dorgon, who had been listening, was shocked when he heard this sentence.Going to the Ming Dynasty?Is that going to attack Ningyuan?

But Huang Taiji and Jierhalang were still chatting: "The last time the Ming Dynasty sent troops to Yaozhou, they returned in a big defeat. The Ming court blamed Sun Chengzong for his poor garrison. It is said that the impeachment documents continued, forcing Sun Chengzong to resign and go home. Now Liaodong Jing Lue called Gaodi, and the sentry we sent out said that the military capacity is not as good as before. This is a great opportunity for us to attack again."

"They went to battle rashly and were defeated, how could it be counted on Sun Chengzong's head?"

"The eunuchs in the Ming court are now in power. How can they tolerate people like Sun Chengzong?"

"Emperor Apocalypse is really dead, how could he allow a group of eunuchs to stir up trouble and control the government?"

"We can't control this anymore. In short, it is of great benefit to us."

"Brother!" Dorgon interrupted their conversation.

Huang Taiji also found that he had spoken to Jierharang and had snubbed Dorgon: "Dorgon, come here too."

Dorgon had a lot to say, but it was inconvenient because Jierhalang was here: "Brother, I got a new eagle, will you go to my place to see it later?"

Huang Taiji naturally agreed: "Okay, Jierharang, I'll bring back two horses, I'll ask Dundari to take you there, you can pick the one you like, and I'll go with Dorgon."

After Jierhalang left, Huang Taiji showed no sign of leaving the house, instead he sat peacefully.

He watched Dorgon finish eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake by himself, and then said, "I always thought that only Duoduo liked it, but I didn't expect you to be as good as him."

"Who told us that we were born by a mother."

"Tell me, what's the matter that you can't say in front of Jierhalang?"

Dorgon was not surprised that he could understand what he meant: "Mynah really guessed my mind."

"It's hard to guess. Usually when you talk about wars, you always listen attentively and express your opinions. But today you changed the topic. You must have some special thoughts."

Dorgon organized his language and asked cautiously: "Mynah, the result of your discussion with Father Khan is where are you going to attack?"

"Ningyuan. We just got the news that the newcomer Liaodong Jinglue Gaodi has withdrawn all the Ming troops stationed in the pass. A few years ago, Sun Chengzong built Ningyuan Jinzhou as solid as gold, and built Songshan, Xingshan, Dalinghe, Xiaolinghe stationed a large number of troops, and each point formed a defense-in-depth defense, which made us worry a lot. Now they, Gao Di, made such a ridiculous decision, and they simply handed over Liaoxi to us. But they still have some The people stood firm and did not retreat, leaving 1 people in Ningyuan, so we are attacking Ningyuan."

really!

"Brother, don't you think that now is not a good time for Zhengming?"

"why?"

"Ningyuan City is extremely strong, how to attack?"

"You can consider luring the enemy into battle."

"What if the enemy can't hold on?"

"Then send people to sneak in, try to destroy the inside, and cooperate with the outside."

"If the enemy has already taken precautions, it won't work?"

"Then attack by force, the loss may be greater, but it may not be impossible to attack."

"There are cannons in Ningyuan City."

"It's not like we haven't seen cannons before. Those cannons are indeed powerful, but they are not very easy to use, and they always blow up."

Dorgon was powerless to refute, Sun Chengzong left, the garrison retreated to Shanhaiguan, and the rebellious Han people in the rear had just been wiped out. No matter from which point of view, it was a good time to attack the Ming Dynasty. How could he persuade Huang Taiji to give up?Judging by his years of military accomplishment, even he himself would think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, he just knew the result.

"But starling, have you ever thought about why the 1 people are still in Ningyuan when Gaudi said they would withdraw their troops? Why do they still stick to that small city? What kind of determination and what kind of Attitude, come to face the iron hooves of my Great Golden Banners?"

Huang Taiji was taken aback by what he said, and pondered for a moment: "You are right, but it is impossible for us to give up the attack because of this reason. What's more, do you think Father Khan will accept this reason?"

This time it was Dorgon's turn to be silent.Huang Taiji is right, you can't be afraid to fight just because the enemy is determined to fight to the death.

Convincing Huang Taiji is still secondary, so why should he convince Father Khan?

But this time, Father Khan will swallow the bitter fruit of failure again.

Huang Taiji looked at him thoughtfully, and suddenly said: "Why are you so resistant to going to Ningyuan?"

Dorgon smiled wryly, could it be because he has already lived a lifetime?

Before the war, Daikin had no reason to fail. After the war, although Ningyuan failed to capture it, it robbed a large amount of food in Juehua Island, and the results were quite fruitful.But this battle only made my father angry, and he never got sick again.

"Actually, if we really can't attack Ningyuan, then why don't we attack? It would be good if we can seize some property from the Ming Dynasty." Huang Taiji expressed his true inner thoughts, and he faintly felt that Dorgon had said this to him on purpose. It's not for no reason, even if Dorgon is inexplicably worrying, it is some kind of message that is being conveyed in the dark.

Dorgon knew the reason why he had to send troops. If the food shortage was not resolved, there would be endless troubles.

He let out a long sigh: "Brother, you should be more careful in this expedition, those cannons don't have eyes."

Huang Taiji said happily: "With your words, I will definitely come back intact."

In the 11th year of Destiny, on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, Nurhachi led Zhubeile and led the army to go out again.
