Ming politicians

Huang Taiji has always been concerned about the situation of the Jin Dynasty, including the situation in the capital and Liaodong.

Although the competition between Hauge and Dorgon still exists, and although the Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner led by Dorgon are already the most powerful troops in the Qing Dynasty, considering the overall situation, Huang Taiji still has to find a way to occupy it. Liaodong.In this regard, Huang Taiji supported Hauge, and believed that the Great Jin Dynasty had not been established for a long time, especially after entering the capital, there were many places that needed to be stabilized. Judging from the situation for a period of time, the Great Jin Dynasty did not launch an offensive in Liaodong. The warriors of the Qing Dynasty once again occupied Guangning, Xipingbao and Yizhou, and Su Tiancheng did not think about taking them back.

Huang Taiji was aware of many things that happened in the capital and Liaodong, and he was very surprised.

The establishment of banks and the unified issuance of banknotes, such things, Huang Taiji hadn't thought of any effect for a while, but he was very surprised by such things. Thinking about the time when the Jin Dynasty unified the Central Plains, how dare it have such a great deal? Action, of course, what he didn't expect was that such a thing would have a major impact on Liaodong and the Qing Dynasty in the near future. As for Liaodong's abolition and integration of the frontier army, it was Huang Taiji's focus.

According to Huang Taiji's considerations, he is planning to launch an offensive in Liaodong during the autumn harvest season. The intelligence network hosted by Tan Tai and Jia Jihan still has a lot of information. The focus of the Jin court and Su Tiancheng seems to be on the establishment The bank and the unified issue of banknotes have gone, and they have not paid attention to the situation in Liaodong for the time being, so the opportunity for the Qing Dynasty to attack Liaodong still exists.

It is precisely because of such a situation that Huang Taiji paid special attention to the situation in Liaodong.

When Lu Xiangsheng arrived in Liaodong, he brought with him [-] soldiers from the Jiangning Battalion. This news made Huang Taiji's heart sink. This happened.It shows that Su Tiancheng has not forgotten the situation in Liaodong. No matter how many frontier troops there are in Liaodong, Huang Taiji doesn't care. In his heart, he is still sure of the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong frontier army.The warriors of the Qing Dynasty still have great confidence in defeating the Liaodong frontier army. As long as the Qing Dynasty occupies a favorable situation in Liaodong, at least they can occupy Dalinghe City. With the favorable terrain, they can still resist the Jiangning camp.

As Su Tiancheng unified the Central Plains, Huang Taiji felt more and more pressure. Su Tiancheng was not the Chongzhen Emperor. Once the Jin Dynasty began to become stronger.The living space of the Qing Dynasty will become smaller and smaller, and Su Tiancheng will not allow the Qing Dynasty to exist in a stately manner.

But the Qing Dynasty must continue, this is Huang Taiji's bottom line.

Tan Tai and Jia Jihan entered the Chongzheng Hall.

Before the two could speak, Huang Taiji spoke.

"Tan Tai, Jia Jihan, I've thought about it. Lu Xiang has been promoted to Liaodong and brought the army of Jiangning Camp. This is a serious problem for my Qing Dynasty. Prince Li and Prince Zheng have already gone to Liaodong. To prevent any accidents, During this period of time, I have been thinking about the affairs of Liaodong. I think that Lu Xiangsheng's integration of the Liaodong frontier army is an opportunity for the Qing Dynasty. You are in charge of the intelligence network. At this time, I am afraid that the intelligence network will play a major role. gone."

Tan Tai looked at Jia Jihan and answered.

"Whatever is the emperor's request, I will do my best."

Huang Taiji looked at Tan Tai and Jia Jihan.But he didn't say what to do.

Jia Jihan coughed lightly, and prepared to speak unhurriedly.

In fact, Jia Jihan had already thought of what Huang Taiji wanted to do. At this time, Huang Taiji was probably thinking of testing himself to see if he could think of these things.On other occasions, Jia Jihan would never open his mouth. Sometimes pretending to be stupid can often protect himself, but in front of Huang Taiji, he must never do this, because Huang Taiji can see it and figure it out. to your mind.

The Qing Dynasty had this kind of atmosphere, so the situation in the court was good. Although there were internal struggles, no one dared to offend Huang Taiji's dignity.

"Your Majesty, this servant thinks that Liaodong's intelligence network should play a role. A few days ago, because of the civil strife in the Ming court, our Qing Dynasty was able to fully expand the network in Liaodong, and developed many people. Now Lu Xiangsheng represents Dajin If the imperial court went to Liaodong to integrate the frontier army, if the slaves had expected well, the Liaodong frontier army would definitely face a large-scale abolishment. It is easy to say but difficult to do if you want to abolish the frontier army. Where to place it is probably a question that the Jin court must consider, and if you are not careful, there will be huge conflicts."

"Original Daming's army likes to cause some mutiny. The servant has carefully analyzed that as long as the sergeant is slightly dissatisfied with the treatment, someone will come forward to make trouble. Now is the time for the change of dynasty. The possibility of this situation happening Sex is more important, and the servant has thought about it, and Lu Xiangsheng will definitely find ways to stabilize the situation in Liaodong."

"At this time, as long as the intelligence network can play a role, the situation in Liaodong will definitely be turbulent. Therefore, the slaves suggested that our Qing Dynasty can properly set certain conditions and encourage the disbanded Liaodong Frontier Army to join our Qing Dynasty In the army, at the same time, those frontier troops who are about to be abolished are encouraged to make trouble."

"As long as we can do this and make Liaodong turbulent, my Qing Dynasty's conquest of Liaodong will become much smoother."

After Jia Jihan finished speaking, a smile appeared on Huang Taiji's face.

After such a long time, Huang Taiji valued Jia Jihan more and more. He once compared Jia Jihan with Fan Wencheng in private. Jia Jihan was smarter than Fan Wencheng and could understand many things. More importantly, Jia Jihan was very Huang Taiji kept a low profile, never contacted the officers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty or the Han officials in the court, and put all his energy on the intelligence network, which made Huang Taiji very relieved.

Jia Jihan is also very smart, that is, he pays great attention to handling the relationship with the Manchu nobles. The contradiction between Hauge and Dorgon is clear to most of the Manchu nobles. Jia Jihan's position must also be clear, but in the open and secret struggle between the two, Jia Jihan did not favor anyone, and supported the emperor with all his heart. It is not easy to do this.

Of course, Huang Taiji knew that Jia Jihan must have aspirations in his heart. If he worked so hard, he must pursue power, otherwise it would be impossible to explain. Power, too, is perfectly possible.

Huang Taiji once considered letting Jia Jihan fully preside over the affairs of the intelligence network, but this idea was rejected by Huang Taiji himself. After all, the intelligence network involves too many interests. If such an important matter is completely entrusted to a Han Chinese It is impossible for the nobles of the Manchus to be completely at ease. In addition to the lessons of Fan Wencheng, we need to pay more attention to dealing with such things.

Tan Tai has been in charge of the intelligence network for such a long time, but he has never been very shrewd. Tan Tai used to charge and fight on the battlefield. It is difficult for a strong man to let a brave general take charge of the intelligence network. Up to now, Tan Tai is already very good.

However, Tan Tai's advantages are also very prominent, that is, generosity, the relationship with Jia Jihan is handled very well, and he doesn't bother to snatch Jia Jihan's credit, some things are Jia Jihan's attention, when Tan Tai reports, he will Speaking it out directly also enabled Jia Jihan to let go of things.

"Okay, I think Jia Jihan's thinking is very good, Tan Tai, what do you think of this matter?"

"Your Majesty, I think that Jia Jihan's suggestion is very good. If this can be achieved, the situation in Liaodong will definitely be turbulent. In this way, the Qing Dynasty can seize the opportunity and conquer Liaodong."

"Very well, since your opinions are all unified, I think this matter can be implemented, but I think this matter is very confidential, so don't let it out for the time being, you go directly to report to Hauge , don’t talk about the rest.”

After leaving Chongzheng Hall, Tan Tai and Jia Jihan turned their heads and reported the matter to Huang Taiji Hauge.

On the way back, Tan Tai kept frowning, and Jia Jihan beside him explained in a low voice.

"My lord, the reason why the emperor asked to keep it secret is probably because of the consideration that many lords may not be able to agree on their opinions. Besides, many lords think that intelligence matters are a means of indiscriminate use, which is unacceptable in the first place. If the emperor's opinion is leaked, it will definitely cause some controversy, and the emperor is unwilling to have such a situation."

Tan Tai nodded, this was what he thought of.

Tan Tai was born in Zhenghuangqi, and he absolutely supports the decision made by Huang Taiji. Whether it is understandable or not, he used to fight in the army and didn't need to think about so many things, but after engaging in intelligence network matters, the situation is different. Many Things that need to be considered in detail, and the ins and outs need to be clarified, so that it is easy to make accurate judgments, and Huang Taiji also requires such a requirement.

Several times, Tan Tai suggested to Huang Taiji, suggesting that Jia Jihan take charge of the intelligence network and go back to Zhenghuang Banner to fight, but Huang Taiji did not agree with this suggestion, and later Tan Tai also understood that the intelligence network was of great importance to the Qing Dynasty. The influence is very great, and it must be presided over by the Manchus. The Han people are not allowed. Even if Jia Jihan enters the court to do other things, such as being the Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the Han people, it is all right, but he cannot preside over intelligence. Internet matters.

It was also based on this consideration that Tan Tai began to slowly delve into the mysteries of information, but unfortunately, such learning will not see obvious results for a while. (To be continued..)
