Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 805 Return Gift (Second Big Change)

Of course, the protagonist still has a lot of room for improvement.

If He Jinzhao was a qualified politician, then Zhang Fuzhen would also feel terrible.

Fortunately, he is like a fledgling baby in terms of political sense.

Otherwise, Zhang Fuzhen really thought that he was a pawn in some official family who came out to start a business and rebel!
He Jinchao sent someone to receive the letter sent by Huang Taiji, and looked at the messenger in front of him:

"have you eaten?"

The messenger looked at He Jinzhao, who was dressed as a poor man, and couldn't believe it:

"Report to Marshal He, no."

"Why are you delivering the letter for Huang Taiji?"

"To protect the family from being bullied by the Tartars, so, so."

It can be seen that he is a scholar, and his face is flushed at this time.

"How many people did Huang Taiji kidnap?"

"At least 5 people."

He Jinzhao told him to go down and have a rest.

"Thank you, Commander He." The messenger immediately bowed to thank He Jinzhao.

"My lord." Ji Gui fanned his fan: "Huang Taiji looted a lot of food and is waiting for new food. Otherwise, how could he stabilize more than 5 people."

When people were plundered from Daming and returned to Liaodong, whether it was making them slaves or farming or something, the first thing they wanted was not to kill them.

Otherwise, it would not be so painstaking to lead a group of people to migrate thousands of miles.

"Ah."

He Jinzhao nodded slightly. The Hou Jin Army was not like the Hammer Bandits. They used to solicit sponsorship directly from landlords and wealthy households.

After occupying the whole of Shanxi, He Jinzhao's forces started to operate on their own, and they were on the right track, without the need to solicit sponsorship in Shanxi.

When troops are sent to other provinces in the future, such things will still inevitably happen.

According to the current transportation capacity, it would be too costly and inconvenient to simply transport grain out of Shanxi Province.

But the Hou Jin Army and the others don't care about this or that, as long as they enter the territory of Daming, from the upper level to the lower level, they are all the targets of the Hou Jin Army's looting, and they will kill if they can't take it away.

Zhangjiakou Fort provided part of the food to the Houjin army, and then they plundered it by themselves.

It is really normal to have a large amount of food supply now.

When He Jinzhao opened the letter from Huang Taiji, he probably replied to what He Jinzhao wrote to him two years ago.

He is willing to form an alliance with He Jinchao, and the two will become brothers to each other and plan for Ming Dynasty together.

By the way, Huang Taiji reminisces about the past, saying that before his father died, he laid down a vast territory, stood upright with the Ming Dynasty, reached the Yalu River in the southeast, and neighbored North Korea.

It reaches Nenjiang in the north, borders Mongolia, and crosses the Liaohe River in the west, confronting the Ming Dynasty.

His father had always wanted to use the Eight Banners to conquer Daming, but after Huang Taiji took over, he felt that it was impossible to swallow Daming, so he gave priority to North Korea and Mongolia.

Now the entire Mongolian grassland, except for the Chahar tribe, has been annexed by him.

Although North Korea has always stood firmly by Daming's side, but now that they are being beaten, they don't even dare to show it publicly. They only dare to make some small tricks behind the scenes, and they will surely capture North Korea in the future.

Huang Taiji thinks that in the future he, He Jinchao and Daming will stand on equal footing, but Daming will not be destroyed overnight, so we must say that the two weak against the one strong!

If he agrees to make peace, he will give He Jinchao ten pearls, a thousand pieces of mink fur, and a thousand catties of ginseng, which are exactly the same conditions as Hou Jin gave to Daming.

After He Jinzhao finished reading it, he was amazed that what Huang Taiji said was [-]% true and [-]% false.

"Huang Taiji said that the Han people, Mongolia, and North Korea persecuted him, and they all opposed him. Which one was not conquered by him, but which one did not plot against him?"

Ji Gui took the letter and quickly browsed it:
"It would be normal for Nurhachi to say this, and Li Chengliang supported Nurhachi in order to be able to kill him one day.

However, Hou Jin has been governed by Huang Taiji in the past few years, not only has its territory expanded a lot, but its strength has also become stronger! "

"If the later Jin Dynasty wanted to expand and deepen the war against the Ming Dynasty, it would definitely be restrained by North Korea and Mongolia, and it would not be safe to boldly fight against the Ming court.

If Hou Jin wants to win consecutive battles, he must invest more troops and financial resources, then he needs to solve the Mongolia and North Korea issues.

Back then, Huang Taiji saw through Yuan Chonghuan's strategy for peace talks, pretended to cooperate, and used peace talks to stabilize the Ming court, so as to free up strength to deal with North Korea and Mongolia, and cut off the troubles. "

Zhang Fuzhen took the letter he had read and said, "But now that Huang Taiji succeeded in expelling Lin Danhan, he immediately came to plunder Xuanda and other places.

Dege was so aggressive that he wanted to attack Shanxi, but he was defeated and fled.

At this time, Huang Taiji wrote a letter of peace, the purpose is to stabilize the lord, so that he can free up his strength to deal with the Ming army and plunder better.

Maybe I still want to divide my troops to rescue Dabeile Daishan, my lord, don't be fooled! "

"In the 70th year of the Ming Dynasty, the military was weak and the culture was strong. You can't help but laugh at me, cheating from top to bottom, and bribery is common. In the last years of Wanli, Ji Gang was very bad."

Ji Gui squeezed his beard and shook his head: "Looking at the overall situation, Ming Dynasty often used troops, which exhausted the soldiers and money, but it concentrated the material and financial resources of the whole country in a local area, which is still quite abundant.

Daming operated the Shanhaiguan and Ningjin defense lines in western Liaoning, and invested more than enough troops and food and salaries to withstand Houjin's attack.

Even if it is more expensive, it will not damage Daming's vitality in a short period of time. "

He Jinchao nodded. The Ming Dynasty had a large population and a steady stream of troops. Although the Houjin Dynasty was powerful for a while, if it could hold the existing territory without weakening, it would be very difficult.

If Huang Taiji couldn't hold it, and if it dragged on for long enough, it would be eaten by the huge Ming army, and it was impossible for Ming to perish quickly.

Unless a certain emperor used his unique charm to speed up the process.

Of course, it was Huang Taiji who found a new tactic to deal with Daming. He didn't smash the Shanhaiguan and Ningjin defense lines like his father, but chose to detour and plunder Daming to supplement himself!
"Compared with Ming Dynasty, Hou Jin has a narrower land and fewer people, very little tribute, and insufficient financial resources. It all depends on people coming out to plunder. He is not even comparable to Shanxi Province that I occupy."

He Jinzhao paused and laughed, "Actually, I believe that Huang Taiji has the intention of negotiating peace with me, so I wrote this letter to test me."

"What does my lord mean?"

"The post-Golden army is powerful, but the only biggest shortcoming is that the reserve of soldiers is not enough. In order to make up for the shortage of soldiers, all soldiers are recruited regardless of age.

Among the post-Jin army, one out of three Jurchens, one out of three out of Mongols, and one out of ten out of ten Han people, probably no more than 15 horses at most. "

"That's right." Zhang Fuzhen nodded again and again: "In the second year of Tianqi, during the Battle of Guangning, 13 Ming troops were stationed in one city."

The battle of Guangning, the conflict between Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen directly ruined Liaodong.

Let Nurhachi obtain hundreds of thousands of shi of grain, survive the crisis, tens of thousands of captive soldiers, and by the way, subdue a large group of Mongols, stabilizing the regime.

With such a disastrous defeat, Daming can still support the war in Liaodong year after year.

"Huang Taiji wants to stabilize me with the excuse of negotiating a peace, why can't I use my tricks to stabilize him?"

He Jinzhao fanned his cattail fan and analyzed: "The Eight Banners soldiers fight in the field and wave battles are their advantage.

However, after Yuan Chonghuan summed up the failures of the Ming army, he changed his tactics. Instead of fighting outside the city, he changed to defending the city.

The Hou Jin army quickly lost their advantage under the strong city, and their heavy infantry also lacked experience in siege.

Moreover, the siege battle, for the side without artillery, is definitely a huge loss.

Thinking about it now, I changed Yuan Chonghuan's tactics of dealing with the post-Jin army and defending the city into a staunchly living (vehicle) city (battalion), in order to weaken the advantage of the post-Jin army.

However, through the battles of the first two days, I found that the Golden Army was still a little passive after the Synthetic Battalion dealt with it, unable to take the initiative to attack. "

"So the lord wants to stabilize Houjin and gain enough stable space to develop himself?"

Shanxi is drought this year, and I don't know if it will continue to be dry next year!
The base area still needs to expand outward, instead of always defending against the wind and grass of the grassland.

He Jinzhao couldn't believe that those Mongols could truly become the walls of flesh.

"At least I don't want Huang Taiji to always lead troops to Shanxi and other places to invade Daming."

He Jinzhao chuckled twice: "But before the peace talks, we can find an opportunity to beat him hard once.

It would be great if the two yellow flags can be weakened. After the peace talks, Houjin will be slack, and internal conflicts may be further intensified.

Looting Daming in other places, I don't care, anyway, don't mess with me, I also need time to develop my strength.

Of course, it may be my wishful thinking, but in the struggle between countries, you will always lie to me, and I will lie to you. Everything is based on interests. "

The struggle among the senior leaders of Houjin was extremely serious. Even after Huang Taiji had secured his position, the brothers under him were not so united.

Zhang Fuzhen was not very excited about He Jinzhao's words, he had been an official in Ming Dynasty after all.

But Ji Gui was very excited, his lord already had the idea of ​​building a country!

Although it may only be a grass-roots team at present, it is a team that is functioning normally.

"My lord, reply to Huang Taiji?"

"Reply, just say that there are too few offerings, I am not satisfied, if Huang Taiji doesn't add chips, I will lead the troops to Datong to kill him."

Zhang Fuzhen laughed twice, but his lord still showed the fierceness of a mountain king.

"In addition, ask the messenger to Huang Taiji, and bring some disabled soldiers of the Hou Jin Army who were captured on the battlefield, and return them as a meeting gift for him!"

He Jinzhao picked up a towel and wiped the sweat off his face:

"Huang Taiji didn't know that he came with sincerity when he negotiated peace. It's really rude. See how sincere and polite my return gift is."

Ji Gui and Zhang Fuzhen laughed heartily, their lord's behavior was really very polite.

It fully shows the unreasonable nature of the king of the mountain!
After the post Jinjun messenger had eaten and drank enough, he thought that he would be able to deliver a job just by getting a letter, but in the end there was also a cart containing four dog tartars who were dying.

"My marshal asked you to give Huang Taiji, a dog tartar, a gift in return!"

Niu Youcai, the captain of the personal guard, harnessed the horse for him: "You go."

The whole journey was silent, or Huang Taiji had been sending people to inquire and greet him.

When the messenger arrived in front of Huang Taiji, Baylor and Huang Taiji looked at the four soldiers with sunstroke, fever, and inflamed wounds, and their faces were extremely ugly.

Huang Taiji held the unopened letter, looked at the messenger and examined it:
"Is this the gift He Jinzhao gave me?"

　Sorry, I'm a bit busy today and I'm missing a chapter.
