Ashes

Chapter 14 The new law was raised again in the war——I am afraid that Huang Taiji had expected this scene long ago, right?

The next day was about to go to war, and Dorgon still had many things to worry about, so he met a man at home, Shuo Tuo.

Since the conflict between Shuotuo and Daishan, he has followed Nurhachi. Now the Dorgon brothers have inherited the two banners of Nurhachi, and Shuotuo followed Dorgon.Shuo Tuo is also a bit brainy, as long as he knows who to follow, he will be loyal to the end.

"Is Uncle Fourteen looking for something?" Shuotuo asked respectfully.

"Yes." Dorgon put down the teacup in his hand, with a pleasant smile, facing Shuo Tuo, who was many years older than him, as if he was an elder, "Shuo Tuo, everyone is going to fight tomorrow, let you stay in Shenyang, You won't be unhappy, will you?"

Shuotuo cupped his hands and said, "It's all for Daikin, I dare not have any emotions."

"That's good." Dorgon said after some consideration, "Besides staying in the capital this time, I have one more thing I want you to do for me."

Shuotuo understood, took a step forward, and said in a low voice, "Is it Erbeile?"

Jin Guo mobilized the whole country's military force, and almost all the big and small Baylors will go out with the army, only Amin and Shuo Tuo are left to watch the house.When no one can watch Amin and restrict Amin, the opportunity will come.

"That's right, it's Erbeile." Dorgon's face suddenly turned cold.

"What does Uncle Fourteen want me to do?"

"Second Baylor is arrogant by nature. As long as Da Khan and other big Baylors are not around, he will have the courage to do anything wrong. All you have to do is..." Dorgon stood up and said slowly.

I'm not afraid that Amin dare not do it, I'm afraid that Amin can't think of it, but it doesn't matter if Amin thinks it or not, Dorgon can send someone to think for him.As long as he dares to act recklessly, he is not afraid that Huang Taiji will have no excuse to punish him.

After seeing off Shuo Tuo, Dorgon lost all sleepiness. He stood upright under the moon, still thinking about the expedition and Amin, thinking in his heart: I don't know if Huang Taiji is asleep now, what is he doing?

At this moment, Huang Taiji's study room was still brightly lit.

"This expedition is of great significance. I let Amin stay in Shenyang. You come to receive the Xianglan flag. You have to perform well." Huang Taiji said unhurriedly.

The person on the opposite side shook his head and said, "I thought you only cared about establishing Dorgon's prestige in the army, and almost forgot about me."

Huang Taiji put on a serious face: "What are you talking about? When did I forget you? As long as there is a chance to fight, don't I let you lead the army?"

Seeing Huang Taiji, Jierhalang seemed a little unhappy, and said embarrassingly, "Khan, I was joking with you, why do you take it seriously?"

Huang Taiji recalled what he said just now, it was indeed in a joking tone, Hao Ran couldn't help it.In the past, he would also say words that smacked of jealousy, but he would laugh it off, why didn't he hear it today, could it be that he was guilty?

Seeing Huang Taiji's complexion changed a few times, Jierhalang couldn't guess what he was thinking, he still thought he had said something wrong, he was still annoyed, and quickly said: "Khan keeps giving me opportunities to make meritorious deeds, I will always keep it in mind Don’t dare to forget, I was negligent in my words just now, don’t take it to heart.”

Huang Taiji patted his hand: "It's okay, I'm probably thinking about tomorrow's expedition, so I'm absent-minded, don't worry about it."

"Does Da Khan have something on his mind?"

Huang Taiji thought for a while and said: "I can't talk about my heart, I called you here today because I have something to tell you."

"Khan, please tell me."

"This time, I didn't tell everyone my real goal. In fact, I was thinking that if I can break through the Xifeng Pass, I can try to go all the way south, maybe I can..."

"You want to fight Beijing?" Jierhalang asked closely.

"Yes, do you think it is possible?"

Jierhalang thought for a moment, and he, who was already full of expectations for this expedition, showed an expression of excitement in his eyes: "Khan, you really dare to think about it, it is really feasible."

Huang Taiji smiled: "That's good."

"You hid this idea so deeply." Ji Erhalang almost wanted to ask: Did Dorgon know in advance?But fortunately, what he wanted to say turned around in his mind, and he didn't ask rashly. "But, you didn't say it beforehand, will the other big Baylors agree?"

"So I need you to do one thing..." Huang Taiji said seriously.

On the second day of October, the army set off.

They set off from Shenyang and entered Horqin, Mongolia. Along the way, chiefs of various tribes led troops to join, and the team grew stronger and stronger.Until the 23th, there were as many as [-] Mongolian Baylors who came to join the division, which can be described as an unprecedented feat.

There is a faint talk in the army of attacking Beijing City. After all, Daishan and Mang Gurtai are battle-tested people. Seeing this posture, they feel murmured in their hearts. The city of the Ming Dynasty arrived in Qingcheng, the two couldn't hold back, and after discussing it, they came to Huang Taiji.

"Old Ba, where do you want to fight?" Mang Gurtai asked as soon as he entered the door.

They kept all the Baylor ministers out of their tents and had secret talks with Huang Taiji.Without outsiders, they became even more unscrupulous, and still regarded themselves as elder brothers in front of Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji realized that they had sensed something was wrong, after all, he had to face this conversation, let the two sit down, and express his true intentions.

"Beijing City?" Dai Shan and Mang Gur Tai were startled, and immediately expressed their disagreement.

"Old Ba, what do you think, you have taken the guts of a leopard to attack Beijing City?" Mang Gurtai said.

"Why not, if we can enter through the Xifeng Pass and conquer Zunhua, wouldn't Beijing be right in front of us?"

"The lone army went deep into the opportunity to fight. We went to fight Beijing. What if Yuan Chonghuan came to steal Shenyang? Have you thought about it? At that time, the city of Beijing will not be defeated, and Shenyang will be lost. Where are we going? Live on this Mongolian grassland? Ask those Mongolian Baylors if they agree or not?" Mangurtai spoke straight without turning a corner.

Although Dai Shan's tone was kind, his attitude was firmly opposed: "The city of Beijing is not so easy to fight. We are not good at attacking the city. After trekking thousands of miles to Beijing, people and horses are almost exhausted. How can we attack the city? "

"I don't expect to be able to capture the city this time. Even if we can capture the city, we will not be able to defend it, but we can put pressure on the Ming Dynasty and let Emperor Chongzhen who is sitting in the Forbidden City know the strength of our Dajin." Tai Chi explained.

"Why do you fight when you know you can't fight? Isn't it just sending someone to be buried with you?" Mang Gurtai scrambled, "Old man, our brothers have more experience in fighting than you, and we respect you by coming to talk to you. Teacher, go back."

"It's not wise to attack rashly, you should think about it again." Daishan said it tactfully, but it also made clear the teacher's attitude.

Their haughty attitude and contemptuous words made Huang Taiji furious, but there was no anger at all on the surface, and there was only a hint of displeasure.It's not that he can't refute them, he can give a lot of reasons to suppress them, but he chose to back down.Because he didn't want Daishan and Manggurtai to feel his strength, and he couldn't let them stay, the impression that Lao Ba is a person who cannot be discussed.

Showing weakness at the right time is just to numb their nerves.

Seeing that Huang Taiji was silent, Daishan and Mang Gurtai thought they had persuaded him. "We've said everything we can say, but if you think about it again, we don't agree to move on."

"Okay then, going to war is a major event after all, we will convene the Eight Banners Council again, if everyone agrees to go back, then go back." Huang Taiji compromised.

It seems that this really can't command these people.Looking at their leaving backs, Huang Taiji said silently.

As soon as Daishan and Mang Gurtai entered Huang Taiji's tent, the news spread.A group of young Baylors gathered in front of the big tent, not knowing what happened.

Seeing the two of them coming out triumphantly, they couldn't wait to rush in. For a while, Huang Taiji's imperial tent was crowded with people.

Huang Taiji took a glance, and found that the crowd was pretty neat. Jierhalang, Abatai, Dege, Azige, Dorgon, Duduo, Yuetuo, Dudu, Sahalian, and Haoge were all there. Now, seeing Huang Taiji's angry appearance, they were all nervous and at a loss.

Huang Taiji and Jierharang looked at each other, the latter was about to speak after a gesture, but Yue Tuo couldn't help it.

"Great Khan, what did the two big Baylors tell you? Why did you suddenly order to stop the march? The generals are all waiting outside, waiting for the Great Khan to show you."

Huang Taiji's face was full of disappointment, and he waved his hands: "Let them go back first, the plan has changed, and no one is allowed to act without an order."

The little Baylors already knew that they were going to attack Beijing, and their expectations far outweighed their worries. Young people are always bolder and more adventurous than their elders. What the elders dare not try, they dare to try, but the elders refuse. Yes, they accept.What's more, this group of people usually follow Huang Taiji's lead and trust him extremely.

"Why? Aren't we going to fight Beijing? Soldiers are precious, and we should march faster. Before the Ming army has time to defend, they will be caught off guard. If we stop here, we will only delay the opportunity of the battle." Yue Tuo said.

Huang Taiji said: "Big Baylor and San Baylor think that Beijing is difficult to attack, so they do not agree to send troops."

"I'm afraid before fighting, what is the style of our Eight Banners Army?" Azig shouted, although he is a junior in this group of people, but he is so addicted to war that he can't bear to be useless if he doesn't fight. go home.

The rest of the people agreed one after another, clamoring that they can't just go back like this, they should move on.

There were voices of discussion one after another, and the big tent was very lively.

Dorgon looked at the aggrieved crowd, and then at Huang Taiji, and couldn't help being amused.Perhaps Huang Taiji had expected this scene a long time ago?He was just waiting for these people to come forward.

Huang Taiji noticed Dorgon's gaze, and also looked at him, his eyes seemed to say: Don't you want to express some opinions?

Everything is under his control, there is no need for him to talk too much.Dorgon remained silent.

At this time, Ji Erhalang said: "Khan, Big Baylor and Sanbeile are too conservative, why don't we talk to them again."

Huang Taiji nodded and said: "That's fine, then you all gather the Eight Banners Gushan Ezhen, and then discuss it with the two of them."

Everyone immediately withdrew from Huang Taiji Yuyu and rushed to find the two big belors.

Dorgon was at the end, after everyone had left, he hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned his head, met Huang Taiji's gaze, walked to his side, and smiled meaningfully.
