Ming politicians

When Ji Erhalang led the army to set off from Shenyang, he was still a little depressed. It was because of Daishan's self-esteem that he led the Xianglan Banner to go out this time, which seemed unclear, which had a great impact on the morale of the army , in fact, the army went to Xuanzhou to deal with the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion stationed in Xuanzhou. The Jiangning Battalion, which wanted to be stationed in Xuanzhou, launched an attack and assumed the main combat mission. Daishan, who set off from Pyongyang, led the soldiers of the Zhenghong Banner, passed through the direction of Xumi Island, and attacked the Jiangning Battalion from the side. The Jiangning battalion, this is the task determined by Huang Taiji. Judging from the current situation, there are only 2 soldiers in the Jiangning battalion stationed in Xuanzhou. A 2 army against [-] people can be said to be a sure win.

Jierhalang has always put the overall situation first, and because of his special status, Jierhalang takes the overall situation into consideration, and would rather suffer for himself in some things. Daishan was one of the four former Baylors, the elder brother of Huang Taiji, Chongde When the Qing Dynasty was established in the first year, it was also appointed as the number one prince. Jierhalang would not argue with Daishan. Anyway, the main task of the army is to defeat the Jiangning camp stationed in Xuanzhou. In the current situation, more effective forces of the Jiangning camp should be wiped out, but the difficulty is also great. The key is that the navy of the Jiangning camp is powerful. The Qing Dynasty has no navy. Once the soldiers of the Jiangning camp fled to the sea, they would have nothing to do. .

Huang Taiji sent Fan Wencheng to follow the army, which made Jierhalang even more annoyed.

Having been in Shenyang for a long time, Ji Erhalang saw everything that happened in the imperial court. He was very clear about Fan Wencheng's thoughts, and he also knew that Fan Wencheng was dedicated to the Qing Dynasty.However, some of Fan Wencheng's concepts and practices are different from the understanding of the Manchus. The Manchus value family affection. Although Huang Taiji is the emperor, sometimes Daishan, Dorgon and others.In front of Huang Taiji, he is relatively casual, and he dares to say whatever he thinks of. No matter what differences of understanding they have, everyone is for the Qing Dynasty, for the Qing Dynasty to be able to defeat the Ming Dynasty and enter the Central Plains. Because of this atmosphere, the development of the Qing Dynasty was rapid.

Of course, Jierharang also understood.If someone's actions threaten Huang Taiji's authority, or even the imperial power, then Huang Taiji will not be polite. There are many examples before, including his own father and brother, who stumbled on such things. Jierhalang paid great attention to this aspect and worked hard to maintain Huang Taiji's prestige.No matter what you do, you can't touch the imperial power.It is precisely because of such efforts that Jierhalang has been valued by Huang Taiji.

However, in the past two years, Huang Taiji's mind has changed a little, probably because of Fan Wencheng's influence. Although Huang Taiji and the Manchu nobles seem to be close, everyone has the opportunity to eat together.They drank together and discussed important decisions of the Qing Dynasty together, but Huang Taiji gradually began to pay attention to the cultivation of his children, and slowly began to establish the power of Haoge, Ye Bushu and others. This is probably a precautionary measure.Prepare for the next emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji’s prestige is still unshakable. Some Manchu nobles may have some complaints because of their own interests. Huang Taiji is also trying to maintain a balance. On the one hand, they are also reusing Manchus. In fact, the important ministers in the court and the ministers who hold actual power are basically Manchus. Although Fan Wencheng is highly trusted by Huang Taiji, his power in the court is still limited. Mainly in terms of decision-making, it has an impact on Huang Taiji.

It is not easy for the Qing Dynasty to have such a situation. After a lot of hard work, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, one generation after another, are working tirelessly. Compared with the Han people, the Manchus are very few. It is insignificant. If the Manchus cannot unite unprecedentedly, it is impossible to compete with the huge Han people.

After years of observation, Ji Erhalang also noticed that although the number of Han people is large, they are basically scattered, all for their own interests. Huang Taiji once concluded that in terms of personal quality, the Han people are obviously stronger, knowledgeable and reasonable , The knowledge is good, but the Han people are not united, they are all for their own interests, and the things they do are even more unflattering. For their own interests, they can abandon the interests of the country. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty is already on the verge of collapse, the court Those Han nobles inside were still thinking about themselves, and never thought about what they would do once the Ming Dynasty perished.Maybe some people have the same opinion as Fan Wencheng, and it is also possible to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, as long as they can keep their own glory and wealth.

Huang Taiji has long grasped this characteristic of the Han people. Over the years, Huang Taiji has used Fan Wencheng to alienate the relationship between the Han people many times, causing some Han people to seek refuge in the Qing Dynasty, including Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi. In addition, Huang Taiji took great care of the Han people who took refuge in the Qing Dynasty. The reason why he made such a gesture was to allow more Han people to take refuge in the Qing Dynasty.

To be honest, Jierhalang learned a lot from following Huang Taiji.

At least this time with Fan Wencheng on the expedition, Jierhalang will pay special attention. Anyway, Fan Wencheng is still capable, and Fan Wencheng has the intelligence network of the Qing Dynasty, and can analyze many situations based on the intelligence. Once won a huge victory in Liaodong, intelligence played a big role.

Among the Manchu nobles, no one is willing to specialize in intelligence work, and it is not suitable to do such a thing. Many Manchu nobles think of fighting on the battlefield and killing the enemy face to face. Besides, engaging in intelligence work, It takes a lot of brain power to sit still, and this is probably not the specialty of those rich and powerful.

After the army arrived in Liaoyang and settled outside the city of Liaoyang, Jierhalang and Duoduo entered Liaoyang.

The officials in Liaoyang have already arranged the mansion, but the two will not stay there. They are with their own army, and the two will march in different directions the next day. Duoduo goes to Haizhou, and Jierha Lang headed in the direction of Sweetwater Station.

Entering the restaurant, as soon as he sat down, Duoduo spoke.

"Prince Zheng, why didn't you invite Lord Fan to come?"

Jierhalang was a little surprised, he didn't have such awareness at all, Fan Wencheng is the most trusted Hanchen of Huang Taiji, in future battles, Jierhalang will unconsciously avoid, as for some of Fan Wencheng's proposals Suggestions, he will make it clear whether to accept them based on the actual situation. Han Chen, whom Huang Taiji trusts, should not get too close to him, otherwise what will Huang Taiji think? Jierhalang has long noticed these situations in Shenyang for a long time up.

Jierhalang has always been very cautious, and has a normal relationship with many Manchu nobles, and never engages in gangsters. When facing Daishan, Dorgon, Duoduo, Azig and others, he pays special attention to it. .Duduo said such words suddenly, he didn't know what his intention was.

"Prince Yu was joking. Lord Fan is very busy. During the march, he was constantly analyzing information. In order for the army to conquer smoothly, Lord Fan is a waste of sleep and food. I am much more relaxed. I can have dinner with Prince Yu Drinking, if there is a chance, I am going to ask Master Fan to advise Prince Yu."

Dodo had a smile on his face.

"What Prince Zheng said, in fact, I have already felt that Xuanzhou is the focus of the emperor's attention. Prince Zheng and Prince Li jointly attacked Xuanzhou. The soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion stationed in Xuanzhou are only 2 people, how can they resist me four times?" Wan Dajun, my main task in attacking Fuzhou is to stabilize the sergeants of the Jiangning Camp in Fuzhou so that they cannot go to reinforce Xuanzhou. Once Prince Zheng and Prince Li win the victory, the three-way army will flank the Jiangning Camp stationed in Fuzhou Sergeant, make them unable to stand."

Jierhalang nodded. He also noticed Huang Taiji's arrangement. This may be the reason why Huang Taiji asked Fan Wencheng to follow him to Xuanzhou. It is very likely that Fan Wencheng will talk about these things the next day.

"Prince Yu said yes, this expedition, you and I have a heavy task. The emperor has always emphasized that the Jiangning battalion is our biggest opponent in the Qing Dynasty. This time, you and I have to face the Jiangning battalion sergeant directly. We still can't be negligent. , If you can win a complete victory, that would be great, if you can't win a complete victory, at least you need to drive them out."

When Jierharang said this, Duduo also let out a long sigh.

"Prince Zheng, to tell you the truth, I have learned a lot during the time in the capital. I used to be stationed in North Korea, and all I could think about was the things there, and I didn't need to worry about so many things. The situation is different now. Let’s just say that the Jiangning camp, if it can’t wipe out the vitality of the Jiangning camp, and they are stationed in Dengzhou, how can the emperor be at peace? In my opinion, the emperor's request this time is still to wipe out the Jiangning camp's vital forces, otherwise they wouldn't have sent a hundred thousand troops."

Ji Erhalang looked at Doduo, did not continue to talk about the conquest, and changed the subject. He didn't know why Doduo would understand so many things and think of things so far away. This is a rare situation Well, if it is said that Dorgon thought of this, it is not unusual, after all, Dorgon's insight is far stronger than that of Duoduo.

Jierharang didn't want to continue talking about these things. After a few days, he and Duoduo were about to start a fierce battle. Before the big battle, the focus was on regulating one's emotions and not appearing so nervous. (To be continued..)
