Ming politicians

(The new book "Iron Blood Traveling" will be uploaded soon, and I look forward to receiving great support from readers.)

The news that the Jin court was about to conquer Houjin quickly spread to Shenyang.

Although it is said that the intelligence network has shrunk on a large scale, Tan Tai and Jia Jihan also said that they have tried their best to maintain it. Many decisions that the court needs to make are related to intelligence.

The emotions of the Manchu nobles exploded quickly. Although the Jin court was unprecedentedly powerful, in the Qing Dynasty and Shenyang, the sense of superiority of the Manchus was still strong. They believed that the Han people were their slaves, and their attitude towards the Han people became more and more serious. In addition, Huang Taiji and Hauge have begun to shift their attention to the construction of the army. The army is firmly in the hands of the Manchurians, and it seems that the combat effectiveness has increased. Therefore, knowing that the Jin Dynasty is preparing to launch an attack, Many Manchu nobles felt that a decisive battle with the Jin court was necessary, and they might still be able to win the battle.

There are also Manchu nobles who have completely opposite views, and those who hold the opposite view happen to be a few princes and a few people who really hold power. Among them, Jierhalang is the representative, and they think that it is impossible for the Qing Dynasty to compete with the Jin Dynasty. However, once the fighting starts, the Qing Dynasty will undoubtedly be defeated, and there will be no chance of dormancy.

Dorgon and Daishan basically agree with Jierhalang's views, but Azige disagrees, believing that the warriors of the Qing Dynasty are capable of defeating the Jiangning camp.

Huang Taiji's views are consistent with Jierhalang's. As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji has always been very sober. The former Ming court was so weak that the Qing Dynasty dared not say that it completely conquered the Central Plains and overthrew the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court, today's Jin imperial court, is a behemoth, arrogant to everything, the Qing Dynasty has no ability to compete, what is the end of the egg hitting the stone.It couldn't be more clear.

As for those fanatical Manchu nobles, most of them just yelled, and if they really wanted to rely on them to lead the army, I am afraid that the death of the Qing Dynasty would be even worse.

Huang Tai tried her best to reject all opinions, chose to support Jierhalang, and decided to negotiate with the Jin court.

This negotiation.It must be different from the negotiation with the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Qing Dynasty was full of brave soldiers. The Ming Dynasty was too busy to take care of itself and had no ability to interfere with the affairs of the Qing Dynasty. But the Jin Dynasty was different. People’s banks opened to their doorsteps, and the currency directly entered The Qing Dynasty has almost mastered the economic lifeline of the Qing Dynasty.If it weren't for relying on some merchants to do business and continuously transport in goods and food, it would be difficult for the Qing Dynasty to even survive.

Huang Taiji is in great pain. He is over 50 years old and has experienced ups and downs all his life. He finally established the Qing Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the Qing Dynasty has encountered many ups and downs since its establishment.There was almost no An Sheng, let alone before the establishment of the Qing Dynasty.Everything went so smoothly, they repeatedly entered and plundered the customs, facing the weak Ming army, it was like entering no one's land, and they occupied more and more territories in Liaodong, if it weren't for the barrier of the Ningjin defense line.Maybe the Central Plains has been pacified.

But after Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying appeared, everything changed, and the Qing Dynasty began to decline, so that in order to win the opportunity for development, it had to bow to the Ming court twice.

Now it is time to bow down to the Jin court and Su Tiancheng.Moreover, when people are about to conquer, this kind of feeling is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The previous two bowing down can be regarded as a kind of strategy, and the Qing Dynasty has also obtained real benefits from it, but this time I am afraid it will not be so big possible.

Chongzheng Hall.

Looking at the extremely old Huang Taiji and the sad Hauge, Ji Erhalang still spoke cruelly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Crown Prince, I think that this negotiation with the Dajin court may not be as satisfactory. The Dajin is too powerful and has enough money to support it. It is not something that our Qing Dynasty can compete with..."

Before Jierharang finished speaking, Azig, who was still hot-tempered, spoke.

"My prince, don't want others to destroy your prestige. It is true that the Jin court is strong, but it is not invincible. The warriors of my Qing Dynasty are extremely brave. How could they lose to the Jiangning camp? They really started to fight, and the result is not certain. .”

Ji Erhalang looked at Azig, with an angry look on his face. His temper was very good, and it was recognized by everyone in the Qing Dynasty, but he was a little angry when facing Azig's interjection. Talking about the fate of the Qing Dynasty is useless. If the emperor and the prince are coerced by these opinions and forced to adopt a tough policy of confrontation, all the Manchu nobles will suffer losses.

"The King of Yingwu County thinks what I said is wrong, so you might as well give an example directly. Since the first year of Chongde, our warriors from the Qing Dynasty have fought Jiangningying many times. Is the wealth of the Qing Dynasty something that our Qing Dynasty can compete with? Does King Yingwu think that I am partial to the Jin Dynasty, that I deliberately betray the interests of the Qing Dynasty, and that I just want to take refuge in the Jin Dynasty?"

Azig did not show weakness, and spoke again.

"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, I am willing to lead the warriors of the Qing Dynasty to face the attack of the Jiangning Camp. If I cannot win, I am willing to accept any punishment."

The hall suddenly fell silent.

Huang Taiji's expression was very ugly.

After so many years, Azig still doesn't change his temper. He didn't have any foresight, and he knew how to fight and kill. It is said that he has suffered enough lessons, and this Azig also has a strong tendency to support Dorgon , I have always been a little unconvinced about Hauge's appointment as the crown prince.

In the confrontation with the Jiangning camp, it was this Azig who suffered a disastrous defeat for the first time. At that time, it was the first year of Chongde, when the Qing Dynasty was just established.

But behind Azig, there are many people who support him. Most of the Manchu nobles have the same view. They all think that directly fighting the Jiangning camp will not necessarily fail, and they may be able to win unexpected victories and consolidate The situation of the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong is also something that Huang Taiji and Hauge are taboo about.

As he got older, Huang Taiji's mentality also changed a lot, especially after Hai Lanzhu died of illness. After so many years, Huang Taiji gradually felt aging, and his health was not very good. , There are also signs of recession. The main thing that comes to mind is to live a peaceful life, hoping that the Qing Dynasty will also be peaceful and stable.

In the Qing Dynasty, there are obviously two forces, or two different understandings. One kind of understanding is represented by Jierhalang, who believes that the Jin Dynasty is powerful and cannot directly compete with it. Negotiations must be made to strive for survival. Space, another kind of understanding, represented by Azig, believes that it is necessary to fight to the death with the Jiangning camp, and obtain the right to survive from the fighting.

Huang Taiji coordinated in the middle, trying his best to stabilize the hearts of all the nobles.

But this kind of stability cannot have practical effects, and Huang Taiji also needs to make a clear choice, which kind of opinion he supports.

In fact, Huang Taiji and Hauge have different views on this matter. Huang Taiji agrees with Jierhalang's opinion, and Hauge generally agrees with Jierhalang's opinion, but Hauge thinks , still need to start a fight, and then decide whether to negotiate with the Jin court. Hauge's mentality is actually thinking that he can fight with the Jiangning camp, in case a decisive victory is achieved in the process of fighting , At that time, when negotiating, you will have a bargaining chip in your hand.

This made Huang Taiji hesitate, thinking that he could negotiate, but this kind of negotiation, which was weak because the Jin court launched an attack, would achieve the expected results.

But Huang Taiji's knowledge is indeed extraordinary. He is very clear that Hauge's idea is untenable. Once there is a war with the Jin court, there will be no chance to negotiate. If the battle fails, the Qing Dynasty will be destroyed. Fate, the Jin court would never accept the request for negotiation, and Huang Taiji understood Su Tiancheng.

So choice becomes very important.

The silence in the hall was not long, and Huang Taiji spoke quickly.

"I know very well that among the Manchus, there are quite a few people who want to fight, or even defeat the Jiangning camp. I admit that perhaps in the process of fighting, occasional victories are possible, but our Qing Dynasty can win The final victory? Who dares to stand up and say with a pat on the chest that he can defeat the Jin court and even take over the Central Plains. I don’t need that kind of mindless statement. I can see hope and see how you completely defeated the Jin court and the Jiangning battalion."

"For so many years, Prince Zheng and the Qing Dynasty have worked hard, and the contributions we have made are obvious to all. If it is said that Prince Zheng is protecting the Jin court, then no one can trust me."

"I have hesitated before, whether to fight the Jin court, whether to show the toughness of our Qing Dynasty, but showing toughness requires capital and strength. Do I have such strength now?"

"It's Shenyang. The imperial court has repeatedly prohibited the entry of banknotes from the Jin Dynasty. But does this prohibition work? Who can still see the copper plates and how much gold, silver and jewelry are there? Even some of you will not sell the gold and silver Have the jewels been deposited in the bank of the Jin court? It’s all in this situation, and I still have sweet dreams, thinking that I can completely defeat the Jin court.”

"I have said long ago that Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying are our greatest opponents of the Qing Dynasty, and even the greatest enemies. I even said that our Great Qing Dynasty may eventually perish in the hands of Su Tiancheng, but many of you If you don’t believe me, I hope you all go back and think about it, where is the way out for our Great Qing Kingdom.”

"I have already made a decision to negotiate with the Dajin court. The difficulty of this negotiation is huge, but even if it is very difficult, I still have to negotiate. I have decided to let Prince Zheng Jierhalang be the plenipotentiary representative to represent the court and Dajin. During the negotiations between Jin and Jin, we made concessions where we should make concessions, and accepted conditions that should be accepted. The purpose is to keep our Qing Dynasty.” (To be continued..)
