Chapter 2159 The death of Nurhaci

Chapter 2156: The Death of Nurhachi

The capture of Huang Taiji was Qin Hao's own decision, and the capture of Chu Yingcai was a deal between him and Aguda.

The content of the transaction between Qin Hao and A Guda is very simple. Qin Hao supports A Guda to become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and A Guda returns the 44 counties that still belonged to the Qing Dynasty to Qin.

As far as the transaction is concerned, generally speaking, Aguda made a profit. After all, Aguda got the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty, but Qin Hao unified Youzhou without fighting, so it can be regarded as a profit.

But this is just a superficial transaction, and secretly both parties will definitely trip up each other.

It is not an easy task for Aguda to ascend to the throne of God after Nurhachi. After all, even if Nurhachi and Huang Taiji were killed in battle, Dorgon still stayed in Shengjing.
Therefore, as far as conventional channels are concerned, the throne has nothing to do with Aguda, and the only way is to take the road of coup d'etat.

But the coup d'état was ultimately unjust, until the last moment, Aguda didn't want to embark on the coup d'état, so he wanted to imitate Qin Hao and coerce the emperor to command the princes.

After Nurhachi's death, Aguda planned to support a prince to fight against Dorgon first, and let the prince ascend the throne to become his own puppet so that he could take charge of the military and political power.

The risk of such usurpation and internal friction will also be minimized.

Among Nurhachi's sons, Dorgon and Huang Taiji are the best and uncontrollable, and Chu Ying is undoubtedly the stupidest one, but this is also convenient for Aguda to control.

It is precisely because of this that Aguda made a special request, telling Qin Hao not to kill Chu Ying, but to capture him alive. Afterwards, he rescued Chu Ying through negotiations and brought her to the country to compete with Dorgon for the throne.

In this way, Aguda became Chu Ying's life-saving benefactor. It can not only get Chu Ying's gratitude, but also facilitate the dumping of the blame on Chu Ying afterwards, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

With Chu Ying's strength in the country alone, it is certainly not much to compete with Dorgon for the throne, so he can only rely on his savior, A Guda, and the allies that A Guda has drawn in advance.

By discounting Chu Ying's banner, Aguda can seize the power of the Manchu army in an upright manner without bearing any infamy, and realize his emperor's dream.

It has to be said that Aguda's plan to seize power is almost perfect, the only flaw is that his plan is not Aguda, but Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi's original intention of helping Aguda to formulate a plan to seize power was not to help him ascend to the throne of God, but to plunge the Manchu into endless internal fighting.

A Guda was very vigilant and extremely assertive. Many of Zhang Yi's plans were rejected by him. He only wanted a plan that was not too internal friction, and that's why he came up with this plan of "bringing the emperor to order the princes".

As far as the plan is concerned, there are indeed no loopholes in Zhang Yi's plan, but the biggest loophole is that Aguda doesn't know that the "Mr. Su Qin" in his eyes is actually Zhang Yi, and he is also Qin Hao's person.

Qin Hao is very supportive of Zhang Yi's plan, but he also considers one thing, that is, after getting Chu Ying and having the righteous Aguda, Dorgon may not be his opponent.

If the opposing forces within the Manchu Qing were unbalanced, Aguda was much stronger than Dorgon, and if the Manchu Qing was easily unified, it would not be able to achieve the goal of allowing the Manchu Qing to suffer internal friction for a long time.

Based on this consideration, Qin Hao didn't kill Huang Taiji, but captured him alive, but claimed that Huang Taiji was dead, in order to hit A Gu with a knife at a critical moment.

Of course, the card of Huang Taiji may not be used, it mainly depends on Dorgon's strength.

If Dorgon can stop Aguda, then Huang Taiji will die alone in the dark dungeon, if not, there will be room for Huang Taiji to use his skills.

When Aguda thought that his victory was decided and he could sit firmly on the throne, Huang Taiji would return with his true intentions, and join hands with the Dorgon brothers to expose Aguda's hypocrisy and set off an even bigger crisis in the Qing Dynasty. Infighting.

Of course, in addition to this, there is actually another possibility, that is, Dorgon defeated Aguda.

Although this possibility is very low, it is not impossible, but in Qin Hao's view, it is actually better for Dorgon to win.

After all, if the weak Dorgon can win, then the degree of internal friction in the Qing Dynasty must be even greater, and as the prince Huang Taiji returns to pick the fruits of victory, Dorgon's face must be very exciting.

At that time, there must be another situation where brothers fight each other and compete for the throne, and the Manchu Qing will still fall into the inner capital.

It has to be said that Zhang Yi's plan is really vicious. As long as Qin Hao doesn't make any mistakes, no matter what A Gu Da does, Man Qing will fall into internal strife.

Poison, really poisonous.

"My lord, Chu Ying's troops have been defeated by our army."

Hearing this, Qin Hao nodded calmly, without the slightest surprise in his heart.

Chu Ying had fifteen thousand and eight banner cavalry, while Qin Hao had only eight thousand and five thousand cavalry, but he was able to defeat twice as many enemy troops as himself in a single charge. There are two reasons:
1. Chu Ying's reaction speed was too slow, allowing the Eight Banners Army in a static state to face the Qin Army at full speed.

2. The main general Chu Ying was easily captured alive by Qin Hao, so that the morale of the whole army plummeted. In addition, the army lost command and fought on their own.
Based on these two reasons, the Qin army was able to defeat twice as many enemy troops as itself with a single charge.

Although Chu Ying's troops were defeated by the Qin army, the casualties were not too large. Only 4000 to [-] people died in combat. Potential.

"Pass down the order to send this defeated army to the battlefield and use them to disrupt the Qing army's formation." Qin Hao ordered with a sneer.

"promise."

On the other side, the Qing army, which was beaten steadily by the Qin army, also discovered a defeated army in the rear at the first time, and reported Nurhachi as quickly as possible.

"What? Could it be that this defeated army is under Chu Ying's command?"

Nurhachi's eyes widened, and he asked with a puzzled expression, "But aren't Wei Qing's suspicious soldiers in the west? How could there be such a cavalry soldier from the Qin army?"

Nurhachi was puzzled by this, and now he has no intention to dwell on it.

The driving force behind his persistence was the reinforcements led by Chu Ying, but now that Chu Ying was defeated one step ahead of him, he would be looking for death if he continued to stay.

At this point in his mind, Nurhachi was already thinking of retreating. Anyone in the Manchu Dynasty could sacrifice, except him as the emperor. He had to go back alive.

Nurhachi took off his helmet, handed it to a guard beside him, and said solemnly: "It's your turn to be loyal to me."

This person is Nurhachi's stand-in, who is [-]% similar to him, and has also undergone special imitation training. People who are not particularly close can't tell it at all.

The stand-in took the helmet decisively, and said in a deep voice, "This servant swears allegiance to His Majesty to the death."
