Ming politicians

Chapter 1266 Anxious Huang Taiji

When Concubine Zhuang and Fulin returned to Shenyang, some Manchu nobles felt happy and excited, thinking that this was a compromise made by the newly established Great Jin court in order to stabilize the internal affairs. It was a courtier of the Ming Dynasty before, and the unprovoked rebellion would definitely meet the opposition of those literati and officials among the Han people. Although the Central Plains was temporarily unified, the interior must be unstable, and it may even be rampant with thieves. In such a situation Under the circumstances, Su Tiancheng naturally wanted to make friends with the Qing Dynasty and stabilize the situation in Liaodong.

Even Tan Tai, who is in charge of intelligence work, has this kind of view. He and Jia Jihan analyzed many situations and combined a lot of historical experience to come to this conclusion.

Huang Taiji also had this opinion at one time, thinking that Su Tiancheng must have encountered a big problem, at least after entering the capital, the situation would fluctuate greatly.

Huang Taiji's understanding was due to the background of the Qing Dynasty's recuperation and vigorous development during this period. Since surrendering to the Ming court, the Qing Dynasty has not paid anything practical. Royal staff should take on such responsibilities.

On the contrary, the Qing Dynasty got a lot of benefits, especially after the opening of the Guangning mutual market, the Qing Dynasty used the gold and silver treasures looted from the Daming Pass to buy a large amount of grain and grass, including a lot of ironware, which was difficult to trade in the past. In addition, the merchants of the Qing Dynasty went deep into the interior through Guangning, and continued to purchase necessary materials for the Qing Dynasty. Through these purchased materials, Huang Taiji managed to stabilize the situation in the Daqing Valley and began to devote himself to development. Of course , the Songun policy will not change.The Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners, which were hit hard by the Jiangning camp before, began to recover slowly.

The only fly in the ointment is that it is difficult for the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners to enter the pass and plunder.

This time Dorgon entered the pass, although he also looted a lot of wealth, the loss of the army was still a bit large, losing more than 1 soldiers.These are warriors among the Manchus, and no amount of wealth can be exchanged for them.

What the Qing Dynasty lacks most today is not materials, but population.

Every time they enter the pass to plunder, all the soldiers will never forget one duty, that is to plunder as many people as possible in the Central Plains, mainly young men and women. After these people arrive in the Qing Dynasty, they can cultivate the land.Men who are engaged in agricultural production and who are physically strong can also be incorporated into the Han Eight Banners army after training. The Qing Dynasty is located in a special area, with cold weather, and fertility is always affected by the climate. Don't talk about Han people.Even among the Manchu people, there are more cases of children dying.Huang Taiji himself has experienced such pain.

But this biggest problem has not been well solved so far.

Huang Taiji and the Manchu nobles knew very well that as long as the Jiangning camp was entrenched in the Central Plains, the Qing Dynasty would have no such opportunity. If they wanted to completely defeat the Jiangning camp, they should not have such considerations within a few years.We can only hope that the Central Plains itself will be in chaos. If the Central Plains has always been prosperous, then the Qing Dynasty will have no chance of survival.

Therefore, Su Tiancheng's rebellion was a good thing in the eyes of many Manchu nobles.

It's a pity that everyone didn't expect the army of the Ming Dynasty.Unexpectedly vulnerable, he was wiped out by the Jiangning battalion in such a short time, and even Dorgon, who entered the pass to reinforce, also suffered heavy losses.

Regarding Jiang Ningying's views, many Manchu nobles' perceptions have long since changed. At first they looked down upon them, then they didn't believe them, and now only fear remains. Dorgon was the most powerful and brave general in the Qing Dynasty who fought directly against the Jiangning camp. Unfortunately, he was also defeated by the Jiangning camp. Who else can directly resist the Jiangning camp.

When the depression has accumulated to a certain level, there is always a way to explode. This time Zhuang Concubine and Fulin returned to Shenyang, this kind of government servant finally found a way to vent.I am afraid that it is also under this general trend that Manchu nobles are generally optimistic, thinking that the Central Plains has fallen into civil strife, and Su Tiancheng needs to spend a lot of energy to stabilize the situation in the Central Plains. Under such circumstances, the Qing Dynasty had an opportunity to occupy Liaodong and form a confrontation with the Jin court, laying a solid foundation for future dominance of the Central Plains.

It is ridiculous to say that such an idea arises. The confrontation between Huang Taiji and Su Tiancheng is not once or twice. It is very clear that Su Tiancheng is very powerful, so he should think that such a powerful Su Tiancheng , How could it be possible not to think of stabilizing the Central Plains, and how could it be possible to keep the land of the Central Plains in the midst of wind and rain.

It is a pity that Huang Taiji's understanding, including the understanding of many Manchu nobles, has risen to a certain height, and the requirements are too high. The overlord of the Central Plains, the Manchus came to rule the world. Under the continuous encouragement of this kind of thinking, they can overcome any difficulties and obstacles. They can unite and burst out with great strength. The establishment of the Qing Dynasty is the best. It proves that it is precisely because of too many successes that it is almost difficult for them to accept failure. Every failure is a huge pain, and it will cause scars that are difficult to heal among the people.

What's more, the Jiangning camp has caused too much damage to the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, it is not that Huang Taiji has no chance. If his analysis is accurate, he should know that the Jin court will not launch an attack in Liaodong in a short time. This is because the Black Death consumed a large amount of silver from the Jin court. It is obvious that there is not enough money in the war. If there is not enough money to support the war, it will be impossible to continue. At this time, the emperor Su Tiancheng of the Jin Dynasty, all he thinks about is making money and filling the treasury.

Taking a step back, the Jurchens are very brave. Even if they lose Liaodong, they can still return to the white mountains and black waters to fight and continue to gather strength. Isn't there a saying that is good? It fully demonstrates the bravery of the Jurchen clan, and it may be the reason for this. What Su Tiancheng thought of was to completely annihilate the Hou Jin Tartars and completely wipe out the military power of the Hou Jin Tartars. To achieve this goal, there must be strong financial support .

It's a pity that Huang Taiji couldn't analyze such a situation. The choice he made was the most unwise, that is, to concentrate all the main forces in Shenyang and Liaodong, and vowed to defend Shenyang and the dignity of the Qing Dynasty to the death. If you can't keep it, how can you keep your dignity.

Chongzheng Hall, where many Manchu nobles gathered. After Concubine Zhuang came back, she brought back all the words of Su Tiancheng. These words of Su Tiancheng were regarded as the biggest insult, which aroused the anger of the Manchu nobles. Anger, even the incomparable bravery of the Jiangning camp, the dignity of the Manchu Eight Banners cannot be desecrated.

Amidst the anger of the crowd, Prince Rui Dorgon appeared very calm.

This time, after entering the pass and directly fighting with the Jiangning camp, Dorgon gained a lot of calmness and analysis. Judging from his inner feelings, Dorgon believed that the Qing Dynasty did not yet have the ability to fight the Jin Dynasty.

This kind of change is obtained from the lessons of blood, and from Su Tiancheng's broad mind. It is a pity that Dorgon's insights cannot be expressed in the Chongzheng Palace, because he was the toughest before. If the main fighters suddenly change their views and opinions, they will inevitably encounter ridicule, and their personal reputation will be greatly reduced.

But many Manchu nobles made Dorgon anxious. He knew very well that if he launched a decisive battle in Liaodong at this time, he would undoubtedly lose.

Of course, Huang Taiji noticed Dorgon's performance. Apart from Dorgon, Jierhalang's mood was also a little calm. The attitude of the two people was not firm, which made it difficult for Huang Taiji to make up his mind.

Huang Taiji Hauge's attitude is very resolute, he believes that the opportunity is rare, if he can occupy most of the land in Liaodong, and even take down Dalinghe City, he will be able to defend Shenyang very well, otherwise the Jiangning camp will start from Dalinghe Heishan in the future. With the terrain of Yizhou, Guangning and Xipingbao, it is difficult to defend, and the south of the Liaohe River will also be lost.

Most of the Manchu nobles support Hauge's opinion.

But Huang Taiji did not make a decision immediately.

After the crowd dispersed, Dorgon and Jierhalang stayed. Huang Taiji did not ask Haoge to stay in the Chongzheng Hall. He knew the grievances between Haoge and Dorgon. At this time, if Haoge stayed Here, Dorgon would still not speak.

After a little silence, Dorgon took the initiative to speak.

"Your Majesty, I think that it is not very appropriate to attack Liaodong now. If we attack by force, it may bring unexpected disasters. Please think deeply, Your Majesty."

Dorgon didn't give a reason, and in fact it was hard for him to give a reason. If he directly explained Su Tiancheng's magnanimity and wisdom, and said that Jiang Ningying was invincible, he would undoubtedly belittle himself.

After Dorgon finished speaking, Jierharang also spoke.

"I agree with Prince Rui's opinion, do you wait a moment and see how the situation in the Central Plains is..."

Huang Taiji suddenly felt anxious. He didn't mainly consider whether to launch an offensive in Liaodong. He thought more far-reaching. Dorgon and Hauge had completely different opinions. None of them made a statement, which was expected by Huang Taiji, but Jierhalang suddenly turned to support Dorgon's view, and it was under the circumstances that Dorgon failed to explain the reason clearly. If this situation lasts for a long time Keep it going, once you ascend to heaven, what kind of situation will the Qing Dynasty have.

Huang Taiji didn't dare to imagine. At this time, he really felt that the interior of the Qing Dynasty was not so stable. The problems he encountered in the past may exist for a long time in the future. This is the greatest danger facing the Qing Dynasty. (To be continued..)
