In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 192 Disposal of Huang Taiji’s Wife and Children
After Lin Rui left with the cavalry, Shang Kexi tightly closed the gates of Shengjing City. 3 people guarded a city, which was more than enough in terms of military strength.

After learning that the Lin Family Army's cavalry had withdrawn, Huang Taiji and Qilharang were originally very happy. After all, as long as the Lin Family Army left and the main force returned, the Qing Dynasty would eventually regain its strength.

Who would have thought that the Lin family's army did not evacuate entirely, but still left a group of troops to guard Shengjing City, obviously not wanting the Qing Dynasty to easily recapture Shengjing.

Huang Taiji was so angry that he almost spit out blood again and fainted.

At the same time, Lin Rui was sitting in a comfortable sleigh, hugging Hai Lanzhu leisurely, thinking about the beautiful days in the future.

"Your Majesty, where are we going?" Hai Lanzhu asked carefully, not feeling too panicked.

"Let's go to Liaohe to stay temporarily, and then go to Hetao." Lin Rui was in a good mood, and he didn't blame her for talking too much.

"The Hetao is barren, but Liaodong has fields, cities, mountains and trees. Why doesn't the king choose to stay in Liaodong?"

Hai Lanzhu frowned slightly and looked at Lin Rui with some confusion. She originally thought that Lin Rui was going to take them back to Daming, but who would have thought that they were going to the Hetao.

Although she has never been to the Hetao, she has heard that it is indeed the best pasture for the Mongolians, but compared to the Han people who like to farm and build cities, it is far inferior to Liaodong.

"Although Liaodong is good, given the current situation and my situation, it is more appropriate to go to Hetao for development than to stay in Liaodong!"

Lin Rui waved his hand, Liaodong is indeed good, but it is still a bit too biased for controlling the entire Mongolian grassland.

In the absence of strong enemies, it is indeed possible to use Liaodong as the basis to control the entire southern and northern deserts.

But if he occupies Liaodong, Jiannu will inevitably occupy Hetao. At most, he will be able to control the Horqin tribe and the various tribes in the Liaohetao area, and I am afraid that he will be out of reach of the Mobei and Tumote tribes.

Once Jiannu directly annexes the entire Tumut tribe and Mobei tribe, I am afraid that it will be easy to pull out more than [-] cavalry, and the entire northern part of the Ming Dynasty will be the back garden of the Jurchens.

But he could only stay in Liaodong, while slowly building sea ships, taking the waterway to the Ming Dynasty to recruit people, and at the same time, he had to guard against the Ming army in the Western Liaoning Corridor. His development speed was definitely not as fast as building slaves.

After all, today's Jiannu are not comparable to the pure Mongolian nomadic tribes. Not only do they have a complete institutional system, the rewards and punishments are also very complete, and their vision is far beyond the Mongolians.

He was sure that once the Jiannu were allowed to occupy the Hetao and swallow up the Tumut tribe, and allowed to develop, they would eventually surpass the previous Xiongnu, Turks, and even Mongolia.

That's why Lin Ruicai would rather go to the Hetao by himself, hand over Liaodong to Jiannu, and let them lick their wounds slowly instead of competing with him for control of the grassland.

"Then what does the king plan to do with my concubine, aunt, and sister?"

Hai Lanzhu is actually most concerned about this issue.

As for why Lin Rui went to Hetao instead of staying in Liaodong, he was just a little curious.

"Don't worry, although the Horqin tribe is one or two thousand miles away from the Hetao, I will eventually come back to destroy the Jiannu. The Horqin tribe is a large tribe with more than [-] people. As long as you are obedient and willing to follow me, you will naturally I won’t treat you badly.”

Lin Rui raised her chin and comforted her in a soft tone.

He didn't play any emotional cards with her, but bluntly stated that she was still valuable to him.

Indeed, Lin Rui must possess Hai Lanzhu, and will often favor her. The reason is not because she is good-looking or Huang Taiji's favorite concubine, but because of the terrifying strength of the Horqin tribe.

Without Hailanzhu, the Horqin tribe would most likely end up in trouble with the Jurchens in the future. However, with Hailanzhu's relationship, once the Lin family army has an absolute advantage in the future, the Horqin tribe will definitely choose to turn against the Jurchens. He abandoned the Jurchens.

Hai Lanzhu was naturally very clear about this, so she was mainly worried about her younger sister and aunt. Seeing that Lin Rui didn't say how to deal with the two of them, she bit her lips and boldly asked again: "What about Yu'er and aunt?" Woolen cloth?"

"You alone are enough. Not just anyone can be my Lin Rui's woman."

Lin Rui frowned and waved his hand.

Although he also knew that in ancient times, there would definitely be many women for heroes like him, but he still didn't want to be like the ancient emperors who kept a lot of women in captivity and didn't care about them.

It's just occupying the manhole and not taking a shit, it's a pure waste of resources. Lin Rui hates this kind of behavior very much.

So he either doesn't marry, but if he does marry, no matter what the purpose is, he will cherish and love her.

Na Zhezhe is obviously a bit older, and Da Yu'er has a son who is very thoughtful. He is far less innocent than Hai Lanzhu, so he will never stay by his side.

Seeing what Lin Rui said, Hai Lanzhu also lowered her head. She didn't know whether to be happy that she had found her husband, or to worry about the fate of her sister and aunt.

"I'm not hiding anything. Your aunt is Huang Taiji's wife and Fulin is Huang Taiji's youngest son. I plan to trade them to the generals of the Ming Dynasty in exchange for food.

But you don’t have to worry about your aunt’s safety. According to the behavior of Chongzhen and those civil servants, your aunt will definitely be treated well in the Ming Dynasty. Maybe Chongzhen will reward her with a big house and many maids, so that she can retire in the capital. Demonstrate the benevolence of Ming Dynasty! Lin Rui said with a smile at the end.

Zhezhe and Fulin, the future Emperor Shunzhi, will definitely squeeze their value to the maximum.

Now that Jian Nu was taken away by him, he became a poor man. Let’s not talk about whether Huang Taiji could afford the price he offered in exchange for his wife and children. Even if he could, according to his ruthlessness, it was probably not I won’t be the one who blames others.

Therefore, selling to the generals of Liaodong is undoubtedly the most suitable. After all, if any general reports to Chongzhen that he has captured Huang Taiji's wife and children alive, he will definitely take off immediately. He may even be granted a title of marquis, and the temptation is beyond question. Not big.

The key is that all the generals in Liaodong are very rich, unlike other generals in Ming Dynasty who are not as poor haha.

When Hai Lanzhu heard that Lin Rui was going to sell her aunt and Fulin to the Ming Dynasty, she was stunned, but she felt relieved after thinking about it.

My aunt went to Ming Dynasty, and maybe she could really enjoy her old age in peace, but when she thought about my sister and Fulin being separated, she said sadly: "What about Yu'er?"

"I would like to sell her to the Ming Dynasty, but she is just a concubine, and I'm afraid no one will be willing to pay too much... By the way, I heard that Yu'er and Dorgon have an affair, do you know if it is true or not? "

Lin Rui does have some headaches about how to deal with Da Yu'er. It is definitely not appropriate to give rewards to his subordinates. After all, she is Hai Lanzhu's sister. He is not willing to accept the low chips. After all, she is also a historical celebrity, but her current status is indeed too low. , he estimated that no one would be willing to spend a lot of money in exchange.

But then he thought of the rumors about Dorgon and Dayu'er, his eyes lit up, he looked at Hailanzhu and asked.

"The king even knows this?" Hai Lanzhu was also quite surprised, and then nodded and explained: "Yu'er and Dorgon are similar in age. In fact, they have been in love with each other since they were young. Originally, Yu'er was also going to marry It was given to Dorgon, but later on I refused to marry Huang Taiji, so my father and brother let Yu'er marry Huang Taiji."

"Oh, so Huang Taiji fell in love with you at first, but then you didn't marry him, so he had to turn around and marry Da Yu'er?"

Lin Rui was also quite surprised, but after thinking about it, he wasn't surprised. After all, if it were him, he would definitely choose Hailanzhu instead of Dayu'er.

"Yes." Perhaps because she felt that she could not bear her sister's willfulness, Hai Lanzhu nodded in a depressed mood.

"Then you say if I offer [-] shi of grain now, would Dorgon be willing to exchange it for Yu'er?" Lin Rui touched his chin and asked, if Dorgon is willing to offer [-] shi of grain, he doesn't mind the beauty of adulthood. Let the two be miserable mandarin ducks for a few years.

"This... maybe if Huang Taiji dies!"

Thinking of the way Dorgon looked at his sister over the years, Hai Lanzhu was not sure.

"Then give it a try then. Don't blame me for breaking up your sisters. We Han people don't know how many families have been broken up by the Jurchens and you Horqin people in recent years. As a result, our families have been broken up, and our wives and children have been separated. I can't do it now." It’s a tooth for a tooth!”

Lin Rui was afraid that she would have a grudge and affect their future relationship, so he said in a deep voice.

Hai Lanzhu shook his head and had no idea about this. The rules of their Mongolian people were that whoever snatched the woman would be dealt with it.

Now Lin Rui has snatched them away from Huang Taiji. Whether he kills them, sells them, rewards them to his subordinates, or keeps them for himself, no one has anything to say.

"Don't worry, I, Lin Rui, will never let anyone take away my woman again. From now on, you can live with me peacefully and try to give me a son next year..."

Lin Rui said as he hugged her into his arms, but he missed Mrs. Niu and Zhang Xiuying extremely in his heart.

The more Mongolian women he comes into contact with in the past few years, the more he feels that Han women are better, affectionate and righteous, and can truly have a heart-to-heart relationship. That kind of feeling can never be experienced with Mongolian women.

A group of more than 2 cavalrymen and tens of thousands of sleds finally arrived outside the valley on February [-]th.

The two circular castles in the south still stand on the riverside as they did when they were first built.

At this time, the valley, which is ten miles wide and more than thirty miles long, is full of people. As far as the eye can see, it is densely packed with simple thatched houses and tents.

At the mouth of the valley, which is more than ten miles wide, a trench has been dug and an earth wall half a man high has been piled. In front of the trench are two rows of scattered horse piles.

On the plain on the left side outside the valley, a huge camp was built. A large number of horse-repelling stakes were also arranged around the perimeter. All the war horses were locked up in the camp, and half of the two hundred red cannons were also arranged in the camp. Among them, half is arranged at the mouth of the valley.

Zhang Xiuying and Mrs. Niu, together with a group of elderly people, had been waiting eagerly outside the valley for a long time.

"Rui Lang!"

"Son..."

The moment they saw Lin Rui, Zhang Xiuying and Mrs. Niu could no longer bear it. More than 700 days and nights of longing and worry finally broke out at this moment, and they threw themselves into Lin Rui's arms with tears in their eyes.
