In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 78 Huang Taiji’s Talent and Strategy
While Lin Rui and Na Muzhong were recruiting troops in the south of Liaohe River, Shanxi merchants finally arrived in Shengjing.

What Fan Yongdou and the other seven people didn't expect was that Huang Taiji came out of the city to greet him in person, and they were really flattered.

After learning that the caravan was robbed, [-]% of the supplies were robbed, and Huang Yongfa, the head of the Huang family, was killed, Huang Taiji was furious but also quite shocked.

"You are all my best friends in the Qing Dynasty. I am responsible for the caravan being robbed this time. Don't worry, I, the Qing Dynasty, will bear all the losses this time. I, the Qing Dynasty, will never let my friends suffer. That group of horse bandits I will cut his body into thousands of pieces and make him bloody for Shopkeeper Huang and Mr. Fan!"

In the evening, Huang Taiji personally hosted a banquet for seven people. After learning the details, he took all the responsibilities.

This almost moved the seven people to tears, and they all expressed their willingness to continue to cooperate with the Qing Dynasty in the future and transport more supplies and weapons to Liaodong.

I have to say that Huang Taiji's courteous corporal made the seven of them feel that their trip was worthwhile, and the grievances they suffered on the way disappeared.

After the banquet, Huang Taiji's face was as gloomy as water, and he immediately summoned Chatu and other leaders of the Mongolian tribes.

"Chatu, this time the caravan was robbed. According to Shopkeeper Fan and others, there were five to six hundred Mongolian cavalry among the bandits. How do you explain it?"

After saying that, he stared at Chatu sharply.

"Great Khan, you are wronged. I swear in the name of Changshengtian that the robbery of the caravan has nothing to do with our Chatu Department."

Chatu was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat and hurriedly swore to the sky.

The leaders of the northern tribes also swore that this incident had nothing to do with them.

"Hmph! If it has nothing to do with you, how did those Mongolian cavalry come here?" Huang Taiji slapped the armrest heavily and snorted coldly.

Everyone was so frightened that they fell to the ground, and Chatu could only explain: "Back to the Great Khan, last winter, the group of horse bandits destroyed the three Khalkha tribes in the north. I think those cavalry must have been captured at that time. I am a Mongol warrior.”

"Even so, how could those Mongolian cavalry willingly obey the orders of a group of Han people?"

Huang Taiji frowned. If those horse bandits captured some Mongolians as slaves, he would believe it. But if he wanted to make five or six hundred Mongolian cavalry obey orders, he would never believe that a mere group of horse bandits could do it.

Chatu also knew that at this time he had to clear away his relationship with Lin Ruina Mu Zhong, otherwise it would be difficult to go back.

So he gritted his teeth and said: "The Great Khan doesn't know something. Last year, the leader of the group of horse bandits robbed our Chahar tribe's original Khan Queen Namu Zhong. After the beginning of this year, he often harassed my Chatu tribe and asked me to betray him." Great Khan, join them. After I refused, they became angry and took away many cattle, sheep and women from our tribe. Even my daughter was taken away by them..."

When Chatu said this, he burst into tears.

"Yes, the Great Khan. That group of horse bandits is so abominable. They also stole many cattle, sheep and women from our tribe. Please ask the Great Khan to make the decision for us!"

"Great Khan, our tribe has also been robbed of many people and animals..."

The leaders of other tribes also started crying and complaining, and they all dared to say that the tribe's population had been robbed.

"What? Was Namu Zhong really robbed by that group of horse bandits?"

Huang Taiji stood up in shock. Last year, Dorgon said that Namu Zhong was probably robbed by the group of horse bandits. He didn't believe it at first.

It is suspected that it was Dorgon, or Duduo secretly hid the person, or it was the nearby Chahar tribe. After all, how could a group of horse bandits take such a big risk to rob Namu Zhong?

"Yes, the Great Khan. I saw with my own eyes that the Han leader came to our tribe with Namu Zhong to threaten and lure us. But I am loyal to the Great Khan, how could I betray him?" Chatu nodded quickly, not forgetting to express his gratitude. loyalty.

Huang Taiji glanced at Chatu and the other leaders of the Chahar tribe. Although he knew that the matter would not be that simple, he did not say anything. After all, it was their Jurchens who were in the wrong.

They failed to protect each tribe, and now five tribes have been wiped out by the group of horse bandits, so they just waved their hands.

"I naturally believe in your loyalty. Don't worry, that group of horse bandits won't be rampant for long. Let's go down first!"

"It's the Great Khan!" Everyone hurriedly excused themselves and left as if they had received an amnesty.

After Chatu walked out of the hall, his back was soaked.

After everyone left, Huang Taiji immediately called Dorgon, Yue Tuo and Hao Ge over again, and cursed Dorgon and Yue Tuo in front of them.

The two of them had no choice but to kneel on the ground and be scolded.

After teaching the two men a lesson, Huang Taiji looked at Hauge and said: "Hauge, you immediately led [-] cavalry and [-] Han soldiers to the Liaohe River to destroy the group of horse bandits. Remember, you must never let them go. A person, especially Na Muzhong and the Han leader, must be seen alive and dead!"

"Ah! Emperor Ama, the enthronement ceremony will be held in five days. Will a group of horse bandits..."

Hauge was also surprised. He didn't expect that Huang Ama would ask him to destroy the group of horse bandits at this time, and also ask him to lead so many horse infantry?

"Don't underestimate the leader of the horse bandits. This person dared to kidnap Namu Zhong under the eyes of our Jurchen army. His knowledge and courage are definitely not ordinary. If he is not eliminated as soon as possible, I am afraid there will be endless troubles!"

Huang Taiji naturally understood what he was thinking and waved his hand to explain.

Originally, he didn't pay much attention to the group of horse bandits. He planned to deal a cruel blow to the Ming Dynasty after he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and then wiped out the group of horse bandits.

But now that the leader of the horse bandits could think of using Namu Zhong to blackmail the emperor to order the princes and recruit the Mongols, he had to pay attention to it.

There are a total of [-] Chahar people in the Liaohe area. Once Namuzhong is willing to cooperate and is persuaded by him to join forces, they may cause a lot of trouble to the newly pacified Mongolian tribes.

Therefore, we must cut through the mess quickly and not give the opponent any chance to take advantage of Namu Zhong.

"Yes, Emperor Ama, I will definitely capture the horse bandit leader and Namu Zhong alive and present them to Emperor Ama."

Hauge replied quickly, and after speaking, he glanced at Dorgon Yuetuo who was kneeling on the ground.

That look is obviously saying, you two are useless, you two are useless, you can't even look down on a woman, you can't destroy a group of horse bandits, and now I have to wipe your ass, even the enthronement ceremony. Can't participate.

Dorgon was expressionless and ignored Hauge's eyes.

Yue Tuo sneered in his heart. After Haug saw the terrain of the valley, he wanted to see if this guy could still laugh.

The next day, Hauge led [-] cavalry and [-] Han soldiers to fight towards the Liaohe River in a mighty manner.

Four days later, Huang Taiji also formally held the coronation ceremony, changed the country's name to Qing Dynasty, and the reign name to Chongde, obviously trying to overpower Chongzhen.

And canonized them en masse.

No matter it was a group of beilebezi, the leaders of various Mongolian tribes, or the surrendered Han ministers and generals, no one was left behind. Officials were awarded, officials were awarded, and dozens of princes and princes were conferred in one go. .

It's like telling all the Han people in the Ming Dynasty, look, Lao Zhu's family is as stingy as ghosts, his own family has no credit at all, and the princes, counties and kings have granted so many titles that they can't even count them.

But when it was the turn of a person with a foreign surname, no matter how great his merits were, he would not even be willing to be granted an ordinary title, let alone a county king.

On the other hand, in the Qing Dynasty, they only promoted talents and treated everyone equally. Even those with foreign surnames, as long as they submitted and made meritorious services, they would be crowned kings.

In order to demonstrate the orthodoxy of the Qing Dynasty, and also to let the civil and military officials, common people and gentry of the Ming Dynasty know that the Qing Dynasty had a jade seal passed down to the country and was ordered by heaven.

Huang Taiji also appointed Azige, the newly consecrated Prince of Wuying County, as the chief general and Rao Yubeile Abatai as the deputy general. He commanded [-] cavalry and once again bypassed the Ningjin defense line to conquer the Ming Dynasty and promote the Qing Dynasty's power.
