Ashes

The moment his lips touched his skin, Huang Taiji felt an unprecedented feeling in his heart, as if something soft had touched the depths of his heart, like a feather or a thorn, scratching his heart , The heartbeat at that moment was particularly strong.

Dorgon seemed to sense something disturbing his sleep. In the mist, he waved his hand as if chasing flies away, and snorted.

Huang Taiji was startled, jumped up from the couch, and looked at Dorgon nervously, for fear that he would wake up in the next moment.

Dorgon shook his body a few times, adjusted his posture, found a comfortable place, hummed for a long time, and finally fell asleep in his nest.

Huang Taiji heaved a sigh of relief, sweat dripped from his head, even if he was taught by Nurhachi, even if he was fighting wits and courage with the three major Baylors, he didn't panic as if he was doing something wrong.

He took several steps back again and again, his mind was still muddled, and he didn't know why he acted so strangely.

He wobbled back to the desk, grabbed a book, and flipped through a few pages.But where he could see it, his mind kept repeating the moment of kissing him, that scene filled all his thoughts, and he couldn't hold anything anymore.

Annoyed by this weird emotion, Huang Taiji rolled up his book and slapped his forehead hard several times.

Must be overtired, that's why the behavior is weird, it must be like this.

Huang Taiji comforted himself.

Hurry up and sleep for a while, don't you know what will happen if you don't sleep again?

Thinking about it, Huang Taiji lay down on the table.

One, two, three, four, five...

When Huang Taiji silently counted to one hundred, he suddenly sat up again with a painful expression on his face.

Can't sleep!

His eyes turned to Dorgon uncontrollably again, he slept so peacefully, so sweetly, without worries at all.

His mind gradually calmed down, the troubled emotions gradually receded, and Huang Taiji's usual calmness and peace returned to his heart.

The scene was still recurring in my mind, and I thought about it carefully. A little bit of sweetness gathered in my heart, forming a hot spring, flowing slowly, and the warmth filled the whole atrium.

Unconsciously, the corner of Huang Taiji's mouth curled into a smile.

It turns out that this feeling is so useful.

The next day, Huang Taiji announced to Minister Zhubeile his intention to defeat Ming.

He provoked this autumn's war on the grounds that he could not negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty, and decided to unite Mongolia in this expedition. As the leader of the alliance, he asked the Mongolian tribes to jointly raise troops.Therefore, this expedition has also become a test of whether the Mongolian army can obey its dispatch and cooperate with its own actions.

"We attacked Ningyuan twice but were unable to capture it. I'm afraid we can only stop and fight Linghe this time. It's not the way to always do this." Everyone raised objections.

Huang Taiji said: "So I am not going to attack Ning Jin this time."

"If you don't fight Ning Jin, how can you fight?"

"The Ming Dynasty sent Yuan Chonghuan to garrison Shanhaiguan. Over the years, from Shanhaiguan to Xiaolinghe, they spent a lot of real money to build cities, and most of the soldiers they trained were good at fighting, especially the cavalry he trained was called 'Guan Ning'. Iron cavalry, you've seen it before, we can't get anything cheap from them." Huang Taiji said while watching the changes in everyone's expressions, "It's better to attack the Eight Banners in order to grab some food and cause huge losses to our Eight Banners. weakness."

"What is the weak link?"

"With the current state treasury of the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to meet the military expenses needed to defend Shanhaiguan. They have no more energy and financial resources to defend other places. Therefore, the city west of Shanhaiguan is dilapidated and the army has been abandoned for a long time. That is the weakness of the Ming Dynasty. We will pass through there, detour through Shanhaiguan Pass, pass through Xifeng Pass, and break into their pass!"

Once this decision was made, Jin Guo went all out and began to prepare, building ships and vehicles for military use.

"According to the past rule that we must have a battle with the Ming Dynasty in autumn and winter, we can attack east and west to confuse the Ming Dynasty's sight, or send troops to attack Liaoxi once, and Jierhalang and Azig will lead the troops."

Jierhalang and Azig, who were named, readily appeared.

"The battle is still fought as before. If you can take it back, you will take it back. If you can't take it back, you will burn it."

"Yes."

This is the largest battle in the Kingdom of Jin in the past few years. Because of this extraordinary route and imaginative tactics, everyone is looking forward to the arrival of this battle.This is a bold attempt. With the weak field battles of the Ming Dynasty and the unfavorable situation of the Jin Kingdom's siege, it may be possible to find a breakthrough and break the deadlock, especially in the hearts of the young Baylors, who are full of expectations.

Dorgon is no exception, but Duo Duo is more excited than him.After the meeting, Duo Duo stuck to Dorgon and talked non-stop.

"Brother, do you think we can win a big battle this time?"

Although the mouth was asking, but there was no doubt on the face, but an expression of eagerness to try.

Dorgon smiled and said, "What do you think? Don't you always claim to be extremely talented and unmatched?"

"I think the Ming Dynasty is going to suffer a lot this time. We can fight a few battles in those cities if we enter from Xifeng. If we fight all the way, we might even reach the city of Beijing."

Duo Duo's sleepy tone surprised Duo ErGun.Although Huang Taiji had decided on a strategy, he never expressed his intention to attack Beijing, but Duoduo said it indiscriminately.

"You think so far." Dorgon didn't answer him directly.

"Isn't it?" Duoduo was full of confidence, leaning on him, holding his hand, "Brother, tell me, as long as we brothers are together, is there any battle we can't win?"

"I hope so."

"What does it mean to hope so, that's for sure." Duduo looked excited, "Nothing can separate us, we made a vow when we were young."

"Swear? What did we swear?" Dorgon asked blankly.

"Why don't you remember?" Dodo said angrily, "Didn't we say that we will ride horses, hunt together, and fight together in this life. Of course, we want to win battles and bring down the whole world."

It is a fact to conquer the whole world. Recalling the days when Duo Duo followed him to fight in the north and south, a warm smile appeared on Dorgon's face.But, how come there is no impression of this swearing or something, and it is still a lifetime? "Is this the way I've confessed my whole life?"

"Really, you don't have a good memory. But it doesn't matter!" Duduo's face soon cleared up, "As long as you remember it in the future."

Dorgon smiled and patted him on the back.

Duoduo also muttered: "The most annoying thing is Huang Taiji. He always wants to rob you from me. I really don't know what he has in mind."

Dorgon couldn't laugh or cry, and wanted to correct his words, but he kept talking and didn't have a chance to intervene.

And when the two were chatting happily, Aobai was ordered by Huang Taiji to invite Dorgon to come over.

Duoduo rolled his eyes: "Look, what I said just now is not according to my kind intentions."

"Okay, don't talk too much, I'll go back as soon as I go."

Dorgon followed Obai, but they did not go to the Khan Palace.

"Do you know what the Great Khan asked me for?" Dorgon asked casually.

"I don't know, but when the Great Khan ordered me to invite Lord Baylor, he was inspecting the military workshop, and he must have wanted to invite you to take a look."

Dorgon understood, and said: "You have been the bodyguard of the Great Khan for a while, how do you feel?"

Aobai looked sincere and respectful to Dorgon: "It's a blessing for Aobai to be able to accompany Da Khan, and I also want to thank Lord Belle for his promotion."

Dorgon nodded at him to show his appreciation.He was the one who stuffed Aobai next to Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji also appreciated his bravery and ability. From Aobai to Sony, as well as Bai Yintu and Tan Tai, many people, the relationship with them has undergone tremendous changes.

One day, he will control these people's thoughts in his own hands, just like Huang Taiji did when he succeeded to the throne.

As expected, Huang Taiji sent him to inspect the military workshop together. Although he felt that Huang Taiji had a lot of things to do, it was good to come to see the progress of the military workshop with his own eyes.

This time, Huang Taiji paid more attention to every expedition than before, and he did many things himself.

Accompanied by the patrol, Huang Taiji dragged Dorgon out of the city again.Without outsiders, Huang Taiji lay unscrupulously on the hillside, his face always looked a bit heavy.

"How do you feel?"

Dorgon knew that he was asking about the military workshop just now, because the progress was not as expected, Huang Taiji reprimanded the minister in charge, although the words were not serious, it was obvious that he was not happy. "I don't think they are slacking off on purpose. I'll come and see for you in a few days. You don't have to worry too much," Dorgon said.

Huang Taiji hummed, but his mood was still low, he seemed to feel a little tired, so he closed his eyes.

Dorgon sat beside him and looked at him, a playful smile suddenly appeared on his face, he leaned in front of Huang Taiji, and said in a playful tone, "Why are you more nervous than Duoduo?"

Huang Taiji opened his eyes, and frowned displeasedly: "You actually compare me to Duoduo?"

"Can't it be compared?"

"Is he nervous?"

"No, he's happy."

"What does he know?" Huang Taiji murmured, closed his eyes again, and said after a long silence, "This expedition is of great importance. If it is fought well, it can certainly give Ming Dynasty a hard blow. If it is not fought well, It may shake the foundation of Daikin."

"Are you afraid?"

Huang Taiji smiled: "I was the one who decided to fight this battle. You used words to provoke me, didn't you use them in reverse?"

"You're just scared, looking forward and backward."

Huang Taiji looked at Dorgon with deep eyes: "I'll tell you this too. The wealth and lives of so many people are in my hands. If I make a wrong decision, how many people will die."

"Don't you think it's very enjoyable, isn't it the feeling of holding the world in your hands?"

Huang Taiji laughed: "Yes, you are right, it is indeed enjoyable."

After Dorgon made such a joke, Huang Taiji's mood improved a lot, and his face was not so gloomy.

"Actually, it's not just Duo Duo, I think everyone is very happy." Dorgon continued, "Brother Azig doesn't need to talk about him, as long as he has him, he is happy. Don't you entrust them with a lot of dedication?"

"how about you?"

"Me? I've told those under me. If they don't behave well this time and lose my face, I'll chop them up and feed them to the dogs."

Looking at Dorgon, Huang Taiji's eyes suddenly became frenzied, as if two flames were ignited at once, and the flames became hotter and hotter. He sat up and reached out to caress Dorgon's cheek: "You can always speak into my heart Li, that's how I like you."

The change in the atmosphere was so sudden that Dorgon didn't react for a while, and his palm was pressed against his skin, which was as hot as fire.Inexplicably, there is only one thought in his mind, his hands are always so hot, no matter whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, it is extremely hot and cold.

"Tell me, it would be great if we could be like this forever." While Dorgon was still in a daze, Huang Taiji withdrew his hand and lay down on the ground again.

Seeing that Dorgon hadn't returned to his senses, the smile on Huang Taiji's face deepened.
