I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 86 Undercover
Lin Danhan and Nurhaci have a long-standing feud.

After the defeat of Sarhu, in order to contain the Jianlu, the Ming Dynasty pursued the strategy of "conquering the Eastern barbarians first and attacking the Western barbarians", and gradually turned its attention to Lin Dan Khan.

Although Lin Dan Khan wanted to have no grievances with Nurhaci in the future, the Ming Dynasty gave him too much. In order to win over Lin Dan Khan, the Ming Dynasty promised to give him a silver reward of 40000 taels per year and let Lin Dan Khan assist the Ming army in guarding Guangning. City (today's Beizhen City, Liaoning Province), and the place where the silver was collected was set at Tuanshan, Zheng'anbao and other places in Guangning.

Lin Danhan was naturally happy to accept it, using people's money to eliminate disasters, and also intended to adopt the strategic policy of uniting with the Ming Dynasty to fight against the gold.So shortly after accepting the bribe from the Ming Dynasty, in the 47th year of Wanli, he sent someone to Houjin with his credentials to ask Nurhaci not to "act rashly". Nurhachi was busy with the war at that time.

In the second year, which was the first month of the 48th year of Wanli, Nurhaci formally responded to Lin Dan Khan. In his reply, he first criticized the plight of the Mongol Khan court after the destruction of the Yuan Dynasty, and then encouraged Lin Dan Khan to form an alliance with him to attack the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Danhan knew that Nurhachi had long had ambitions for Mongolia, and he looked down on the Jurchens, a gang of hunting bumpkins, and ignored Nurhachi's attempts to win over him. return.

Just two months ago, Nurhaci listened to the rumors coming from Neikalkha and thought that Shuose Ubas was killed by Lin Dan Khan, so he beheaded Lin Dan Khan's envoy Kangkar Baihu. It was not until last month that he I know it's a rumor, but the two have completely broken up.

Now Nekarkha still has to accept the rule of Lin Dan Khan in name. If Nurhachi attacks Nekar Kha, Lin Dan Khan will definitely come to help. If the time comes, it will be a good thing to defeat him in one fell swoop. If the battle situation falls into a stalemate, it will definitely bring trouble to Xiong Tingbi. An opportunity to take advantage of.

Huang Taiji knew this truth, so he looked embarrassed when he said that the handsome Ubas was still in the hands of Lin Dan Khan.

This also put Nurhachi into a dilemma. It was not that he did not stop fighting in Inner Khalkha, but it only affected his whole body and he had to think carefully.

At this time, Dabeiledaishan, who was the leader of the Zhenghong Banner and the Triangular Red Banner, saw Nurhachi's entangled feelings and also stepped out to persuade him:

"Ama, there is an old saying in Han'er that when you draw a bow, you must draw a strong one. To capture the thief, capture the king first. At present, the Ming army is our biggest problem. Only by conquering Shenyang can we threaten Liaoyang and lift the Ming Dynasty's restraint on us. , then it will be easy to pursue Inner Khalkha.

Besides, I, the Jin Dynasty, first defeated the Ming army in Sarhu, then attacked Tieling, defeated Fushun, and besieged Puhe. We were invincible. Why should we be afraid of Shenyang? "

Huang Taiji sighed silently when he heard this. The successive victories had blinded Daishan and others.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Ming army has now calmed down a bit under Xiong Tingbi's preparations for war. They did not dare to fight before, but now they are not afraid even if they are besieged. They stand firm and wait for help, and even dare to go out of the city to harass.

However, he saw that the chief ministers He Heli, Dabeile Daishan and others had spoken. Nurhachi would definitely not agree to attack Nekalkha. It would be useless for him to say more, so he changed his mind and continued to speak.

"It's not impossible to wait until next year to attack Shenyang. It's just that firearms are indispensable when attacking the city, and the Han people are best at using firearms. We can make use of the surrendered Han children, organize them into an army, and specialize in artillery. We can defend the city and also Can attack the city."

Nurhaci had always not trusted the Han people enough. Although he encouraged the Liao people to come to farm, he only wanted them to cultivate food for themselves. Now Huang Taiji asked them to organize and train into an army. He was actually not willing to do so, but he thought that artillery was necessary to attack the city. I thought that was all I could do.

At that time, he agreed to Huang Taiji's request and made plans in the hall. Keeping the plan unchanged, he decided to attack Liaoshen. However, since the original time has been leaked, he will attack one month in advance and attack in January next year!

"Master, hurry up, we will soon be outside the imperial court, and the officers and soldiers will not dare to catch up."

"Uncle Zhang, slow down. I see there is a temple in front of me. I really can't ride anymore. My thighs are almost bleeding. I think we should rest in front. Just let Zhang Shun watch."

The young master said breathlessly.

This is the road from Shenyang to Fushun. Three people are riding wildly on horseback. One is over sixty years old, his hair is gray, and he is panting and out of breath. However, he keeps reminding those behind him that he is also exhausted and in poor health. A young man wearing a brocade robe but with blood.And walking in front of them was a middle-aged man who was looking around, full of vigilance.

The old man and the young man were Zhang Anning, the youngest son of Zhang Shaoyun, who had escaped from Liaoyang City.It was him who told the truth after drinking in a restaurant that day that made Jin Yiwei notice the Zhang family's collaboration with the enemy.

It sounds like he was lucky. On that day, during a manhunt in the city, he was dragged into a tunnel by an old servant who had served him for many years before escaping.

Fortunately, this old servant was loyal to the Zhang family. He knew that he could no longer stay in Liaodong and that the legitimate son of the Zhang family might be of some use to Jianlu, so he took Zhang Anning north to Fushun, encountering officers and soldiers along the way. He blocked him, but he still had some entanglements in his hands, so he bribed the guards to pass.

After passing Fengji Fort, we headed all the way to the junction of Ming and Jin, which was extremely dangerous. We happened to meet this man named Zhang Shun on the road. He said that he was also going to Houjin to survive, but he didn't tell me what he had done.

Seeing this, the two of them had no choice. In order to go to Houjin alive, they had no choice but to become a living doctor. They asked to go with him so that they could take care of each other, and promised that if they successfully reached Saarhu, they would be rewarded a lot.

Seeing this, Zhang Shun showed hesitation, but he agreed. Fortunately, he did his best along the way and took care of all the tasks of exploring the road, hunting, and guarding.It also made the two of them gradually let down their guard.

Seeing that they were panting and exhausted, Zhang Shun sighed and said:
"Okay then, let's rest for a while at the ruined temple in front, and then hurry up. As long as we cross the mountain in front, we will reach the border of the Kingdom of Jin."

When the master and servant heard this, they cheered up and waved their whips. They thought of going to the ruined temple to rest and eat some solid food. They were really starving to death.

After entering the temple gate, Zhang Shun wanted to go outside to collect some firewood to make a fire. The master and servant did not doubt his presence. Seeing him going out, the old servant quickly took out dry food from the package for Zhang Anning to eat.

"Haha, Zhang Anning is really lucky to have you as a loyal servant in the Zhang family."

Suddenly, a cheerful voice came from outside the temple. Several guards in brocade clothes wearing casual clothes and holding embroidered spring knives walked in from the temple door, followed by a young man who had a similar figure to Zhang Anning.

"who are you?"

The old servant couldn't help being shocked when he saw this scene. He thought to himself that he was really careless. There was indeed something wrong with this order. He brought the two of them here for the purpose of seeking wealth and death.So he quickly raised his hands and said:

"Brothers, our grandfather and grandson are fleeing in order to survive. We don't have any money with us. You can ask Zhang by the way. If you want money, you can wait until we get to the Kingdom of Jin. We will be useful to the Kingdom of Jin. When the high official sees us, we will definitely give you money, no matter how much, it doesn’t matter."

The leading flag officer Lu Dongjie laughed when he heard this. Knowing that they were unable to escape, he held the knife in both hands and said with a sneer:

"Don't worry, I won't take your money, but your lives!"

　It will be on the shelves tomorrow, please support!
