I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 642: Surprise Attack on Chahar

With the end of the Wenhua Palace edict, what the emperor said at the Wenhua Palace banquet quickly spread throughout the capital.

Among them, the emperor swore an oath over wine and promised everyone that as long as the honorable nobleman worked hard with his life, he would never live up to the honorable nobleman's words.The nobles who were canonized could hear their blood boiling with excitement, secretly thinking that the emperor was a man of true temperament.

The emperor and others are now in a time of great strife, and the surrounding Mongols, remnants of the captives, Westerners, Japanese pirates, etc. must be wiped out one by one.The promulgated new Lordship system was prepared for this and so on, which is extremely impactful.

After these words came out, many people were extremely excited.

I feel that if the emperor has such ambitions, then if he joins the army and performs meritorious service, it will not be that difficult to be knighted.So many people secretly thought of joining the army, or applying for martial arts examinations, preparing to imitate Xiong Tingbi and show off their skills.

Some old noble families were also keenly aware of the emperor's attitude. In addition, Guo Zuoguang, Sun Xinji and other former nobles' children were also canonized as role models, so many old noble families began to urge their children to apply for military preparation schools.

Since I can't catch up in Licaolanchang, it would be a good idea to apply for the Military Academy and catch the evening meeting.

It's just that this is good news for military attaches, but for civilian officials, they all look ugly.

Because they heard some hints of Wuzong from the emperor's words.But they had nothing to do. Now the emperor's prestige and methods were far higher than those of Emperor Wu Zong. His methods of pacifying the southwest, annihilating the rebels, abolishing humble status, increasing income and cutting expenditures, etc. were no less than those of Emperor Chengzu.

Coupled with the emperor's continuous purge of civil servants during this period, many people who were unwilling to listen to his opinions were dismissed.As a result, civil servants who do not hold great righteousness cannot compete with the emperor at all. Therefore, after hearing the emperor's method, they can only write letters to express their opinions sporadically, and they dare not say anything else.

The impact of this incident continues to ferment, but there is one more important thing, that is, Nurhaci was sentenced to Lingchi. Nurhachi was cut into pieces with a thousand knives. The heart-rending shouts resounded throughout the world and could not be dispersed for a long time. , but the executioner was so skilled that he was kept alive for three days before he died, which was regarded as revenge for his massacre of the Liao people.

The entire prisoner presentation and canonization ceremony, as well as the tragic situation of Nurhachi being punished, quickly spread to various parts of the Ming Dynasty along with the official post of the imperial court, and of course, it also quickly spread to the Horqin tribe.
-
March Liaodong, Horqin tribe.

March is now the season when spring flowers bloom, and the entire Horqin grassland is gradually covered with light green.

According to Mongolian customs, herders also began to take advantage of this good time to drive cattle, sheep and horses to start livestock hunting, so that the cattle and sheep who have been hungry all winter can have a good meal.

But now the Horqin tribe is uncharacteristically different. Now the entire tribe is like a large military camp, with tribesmen constantly gathering in the camp, and all of them are fully prepared, ready to go out for battle.

"Master Beile, Zaisantai Ji and others sent people to tell them that the Bahrain tribe has also arrived one after another. We only need to prepare for more than ten days before we can set off."

In the camp, Huang Taiji listened to the report of Yuan Zhengbai Banner Jia La E Zhen Man Da Han, closed his eyes and said nothing, and after a while he slowly spoke:

"Is there no news about Yue Tuo yet?"

As soon as these words came out, Mandarhan's expression darkened, and he knelt down quickly and said:

"Damn it, slave. There is no news about Yue Tuo Beile yet. It's just that the spies in Liaoyang said that Yue Tuo Beile is now in the north of North Korea. The North Korean court has tried to destroy him several times without success. The Ming Dynasty will probably send He Shixian to North Korea to take charge of this matter. .”

Upon hearing the news, Huang Taiji shook his head and was not optimistic about Yue Tuo's current situation.

Yue Tuan's situation was different from him. He was deeply rooted in Horqin and was in the grassland, so it was very troublesome for the Ming army to attack.But Yue Tuan was different. He fled to North Korea, and he couldn't understand either the language or the local conditions. Facing the joint encirclement and suppression by North Korea and the Ming Dynasty, it would be difficult for him to cope.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Dorgon, Duoduo and others. They were still young now, and whether they could bear such a homeless life.

"Keep staring over there. If you have any news about Yue Tuo, please report it at any time. Also, have the rangers from the Wengjishit Department moved?"

"Haha, Mr. Beile, please rest assured. Ever since the Weng Jishit tribe became the lackeys of the Ming army, they, Taiji, have been hanging around in Liaoyang all day long and don't care much about the affairs of the tribe. They all obey the arrangements of the Ming army. Now Xiong Tingbi and others After the person leaves, he probably won’t care anymore.”

When Mandarhan saw Huang Taiji asking about Wengji's special department, a look of disdain suddenly appeared on his face.I feel that what Arzhai did was really a disgrace to the Mongols.

However, when Mandarhan said this, he didn't notice a hint of gloom on Huang Taiji's face.

"Is Mang Gurtai also in Liaoyang?"

"For Lord Beile, he is indeed here, but unlike Amin who is trusted by the Ming Kingdom, Mang Gurtai seems to be under the custody of the Ming Kingdom. His residence is heavily guarded and no one can approach him."

Hearing these words, Huang Taiji shook his head. Mang Gurtai had caused Dai Jin such heavy losses, and he had no sympathy at all for his experience.But now that Dajin was employing people, when he heard what happened to Mang Gurtai, he couldn't help but have other thoughts in his heart.

"As far as I know, Mang Gurtai originally didn't want to surrender, but he was just bewitched by Amin. Now that the Ming Dynasty is slaughtering and enslaving my Jurchens, I don't believe that Mang Gurtai, as a descendant of Aisin Gioro, feels regret in his heart heart of."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Mandarhan and said solemnly:
"So you have to be careful when contacting Mang Gurtai. There are many Jurchens scattered in Liaodong now. If you can persuade Mang Gurtai to secretly surrender, instigate the Jurchen prisoners to rebel, and then stir up trouble in Liaodong, maybe we can return to Liaodong. There is a chance to restore the country.”

"Please rest assured, Mr. Beile. I have sent a special person to Liaoyang. I will definitely find an opportunity to contact Mang Gurtai secretly." Mandarhan also wanted to restore the country now. When Huang Taiji said this, he immediately agreed.

Huang Taiji sighed secretly when he heard this, secretly thinking that the current situation was difficult, and even he could only find some opportunities from this situation, but he just didn't know whether he could succeed.

However, these are just idle chess, and it remains to be seen whether they will be effective.

The most important thing now is the attack on Chahar.

Since the destruction of Dajin last year, the situation in Liaodong has also tended to stabilize.A slight "peace" was formed between Chahar, Horqin, and the Ming Dynasty.

But Huang Taiji knew very well that among the three, Horqin was the weakest.

The reason why Ming Dynasty and Chahar did not attack Horqin was to wait for the other side to make the first move, so that the remaining side could reap the benefits.Because of this, Horqin and himself had some breathing space.

But as the saying goes, there is no room for others to snore on the side of the bed.The patience of Chahar and Mingguo is limited.Especially the Ming Dynasty, it would never see Horqin entrenched next to Kaitie and threatening the Ming Dynasty.

If Chahar's Lin Danhan didn't take action, then Ming Dynasty would definitely not be able to resist taking action first.As for the timing, Huang Taiji also guessed that it would be after the Ming Dynasty's prisoner presentation ceremony.

At that time, the newly appointed Zhu Xieyuan will definitely take action. At that time, with Chahar in the west and Ming Kingdom in the east and south, Horqin and himself will not be able to escape even if they want to.

So he discussed with Zaisang and others that instead of waiting for others to attack here, it would be better to strike first.

Taking advantage of the fact that Xiong Tingbi and Yang Lian had all returned to the capital, not even He Shixian, Heshun and others were there, and Zhu Xieyuan had not taken office, and was unable to act, he took the opportunity to send troops to attack Lin Danhan and seize the initiative.

As long as Lin Dan Khan is defeated, Liaodong can be disturbed and Mongolia can be deterred, thus opening up strategic space.

At that time, it will be very convenient to attack Liaodong eastward, harass Liaozuo southward, invade Guangning, or even attack right-wing Mongolia westward.

This plan is extremely bold. When Huang Taiji first proposed it, Zaisang and others were very surprised and thought it was impossible.However, Huang Tai Ji Li Cheng Chahar currently has three major problems:

One of them converted to the Red Sect, which caused everyone in the Yellow Sect to become disloyal.

Secondly, Lin Danhan was fierce in appearance and weak in heart. After Horqin wiped out 3 people, he did not send troops to take revenge. Instead, he placed his hope in the Ming Dynasty. This not only showed that he was fierce in appearance but also inwardly weak, but would also greatly reduce his reputation.It also secretly reflected that the strength of his Chahar Department was far less than before.

The time is just right. March is when herdsmen are preparing to herd their cattle and sheep for grazing. A surprise attack on Chahar now will definitely catch Lin Danhan off guard.And now all the generals from Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty have entered the capital. Although the defense is sufficient, the attack is insufficient.As long as Horqin reacts quickly, the Ming army will never have time to take his retreat.

After these remarks, Zaisang and others were immediately excited. They thought it was a good opportunity, so they quickly called Sebuten Taiji from the Bahrain Department to discuss the matter.

The final result was also obvious. Both sides decided to mobilize their troops quickly and immediately mobilized troops to raid Chahar, and the date was ten days later.

"Let's go to Zaisang's place and see if we can hurry up and stop delaying."

However, despite this, Huang Taiji still felt that the speed of assembly was too slow. The longer the time, the easier it would be for the news to leak.

But at this moment, bursts of noise suddenly came from outside the big tent.Huang Taiji and Mandarhan looked at each other.

"Go out and see what's going on?"

But as soon as Huang Taiji finished speaking, the curtain of the big tent was suddenly opened, and a messenger hurriedly walked in, knelt down and said:

"Master Beile, there is news from Shenyang. It's an urgent report!"

The messenger handed over the document as he spoke. Huang Taiji snatched it away and looked at it. His eyes suddenly darkened and he was about to fall back.

"Lord Belle!"

Upon seeing this, Mandarhan hugged Huang Taiji and finally woke up Huang Taiji.Then Huang Taiji burst into tears and shouted:
"God damn Ming Gou, I swear I won't be a human unless I take revenge on you!"

Upon seeing this, Mandarhan quickly took the document and took a look at it, and saw clearly written on it that Nurhaci was executed by Lingchi and wailed for three days.
