Ming politicians

Once again, Huang Taiji suffered a heavy blow. He was not in good health, but the successive blows made Huang Taiji unable to bear it. Even many ministers in the court also found problems.

Sitting in the Chongzheng Hall, Huang Taiji's face was pale, and he could hardly see the previous arrogance.

Fan Wencheng followed Hauge to the grassland for conquest. Ever since Fan Wencheng left Shenyang, Huang Taiji was still a bit inapplicable for a while, and he lacked people around him who could discuss major issues, because Fan Wencheng had been engaged in intelligence work for a long time and was able to make accurate analysis In many cases, Huang Taiji can only analyze based on intelligence.

The information provided by Tang Haitai accurately indicated that Su Tiancheng would lead the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion to enter the grassland from the direction of Yizhou, and the first to attack were the Chahan tribe and the Khalkha tribe. Huang Taiji also requested The Chaohan tribe and the Khalkha tribe were ready. Huang Taiji emphasized that the artillery of the Ming army was very sharp, and asked the grassland tribes to pay high attention to it. When Fan Wencheng left Shenyang, the two discussed it. Thinking that the Spring Festival is coming soon, Su Tiancheng may lead the Jiangning Battalion to launch an attack after the Spring Festival.

The information obtained today is completely different from before. Su Tiancheng led the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion into the grassland from the direction of Datong. The Chahar tribe was the first to attack, and within a short period of time, the Chahar tribe was completely wiped out. Horde army.

This was a huge blow to Huang Taiji.

The Chahar tribe is one of the most powerful tribes in the grassland, and it is also one of the grassland tribes that the Qing Dynasty relies heavily on. Su Tiancheng led the army and almost wiped out the Chahar tribe. On the surface, it made the Qing Dynasty lose a support .But the deep-seated influence cannot be estimated, such a powerful grassland tribe was easily wiped out by Su Tiancheng, and the rest of the grassland tribes.What kind of thoughts will they have, and will they still surrender to the Qing Dynasty wholeheartedly.

Another method adopted by Su Tiancheng made Huang Taiji even more anxious and chilled. Moreover, this move of Su Tiancheng was in stark contrast to Hauge's attack on the Xibo and Daur tribal settlements.

Su Tiancheng did not massacre the old and weak women and children of the Chahar tribe.He didn't even kill the soldiers who surrendered, but gathered all these people and let them continue to live in the grassland. Such actions showed that Su Tiancheng's purpose was to wipe out the army of the grassland tribes.The fundamental requirement is to make the grassland tribes surrender and pursue the psychological and complete defeat of the grassland tribes. [

Howe did it differently.It should be said that Haoge's decision to attack the Xibe tribe and the Daur tribe's garrison was very correct, and it could achieve a major victory, and it could shake the confidence of the soldiers of the two tribes and continue their expedition.However, Hauge's subsequent actions are really not flattering. He burned the garrisons of the two tribes, and faced the sergeants of the Xibe tribe who had surrendered. The influence was very bad, and even the leader of the Horqin tribe wrote a letter expressing criticism of this move.

Compare the two.Subtle changes have taken place in the minds of the grassland tribes.

This was what Huang Taiji was most worried about.

Submitting to the grassland tribes, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji spent a lot of thought and adopted many methods.Repaying grievances with virtue finally made the grassland tribes support the Qing Dynasty, but this situation may undergo fundamental changes in a very short period of time. How could Huang Taiji not be in a hurry.

Fortunately, the Horqin tribe still firmly supports the Qing Dynasty and Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji was very concerned about evaluating Su Tiancheng. The intelligence he got from Liaodong clearly indicated that there was a problem. Su Tiancheng did not launch an attack from the direction of Yizhou at all. Looking at it now, Su Tiancheng just took advantage of the importance that the Qing Dynasty attached to Yizhou. Under the bad weather, Su Tiancheng launched a sudden attack on the Chahar tribe. It can be said that Su Tiancheng made the most of the intelligence.

But Huang Taiji can't say that the information is false, at least Su Tiancheng launched an attack on the grassland tribes. He changed his decision and didn't have time to notify Liaodong. Maybe Su Tiancheng discovered something and suddenly changed his decision.

Huang Taiji felt very tired, he had never been so tired before.

The contest with Su Tiancheng actually started in the first year of Chongde, that is, when the Qing Dynasty was established. After so many years, the situation that Su Tiancheng laid out at the beginning began to play a role slowly. The bureaus were all directly aimed at the Qing Dynasty, and they all made Huang Taiji feel terrified, so he had to find a way to deal with it.

Huang Taiji, who was exhausted to the extreme, couldn't relax yet. He needed to consider and make a decision. What would be Su Tiancheng's next move? The situation on the grassland had undergone major changes, and many tribes were worried. There are not many tribes that the Chahar tribe can compete with. If any tribe becomes Su Tiancheng's next target, how should he deal with it.

Huang Taiji did not discuss with others, not even with Dorgon and others.

Because he felt unwell, Huang Taiji paid great attention. Dorgon, Duoduo and others are very powerful. Apart from obeying his own orders, he doesn't care much about Haoge and Fan Wencheng. Now, how will the next emperor subdue Dorgon, Duoduo and others? The Qing Congress will not be torn apart. If such a situation occurs, the Qing Dynasty will perish due to internal strife without Su Tiancheng's efforts. The chances are gone.

Huang Taiji had already begun to limit the power of Dorgon and Duoduo and others. The punishment of Azig was just for Dorgon and others to see, but it had little effect. The contact between Dorgon and Manchu nobles was still No reduction.

What Huang Taiji can feel gratified is that Daishan really supported him, and he supported him from the heart. After encountering major setbacks, Daishan's thinking has undergone a major change. Arrogance, and I can't get used to it. In the past, Daishan's mansion was a place where Manchu nobles often gathered. This situation does not exist now. What Daishan said on many occasions is to protect the overall situation of the Qing Dynasty. .

There is also Jierhalang, mature, steady and wise, who wholeheartedly safeguards the interests of the Qing Dynasty. [

In terms of power comparison, Dorgon and Duoduo do not have any advantage.

Dorgon and Duo Duo are powerful generals of the Qing Dynasty, and their abilities are different. The Qing Dynasty cannot lack such a powerful general. Huang Taiji even believed that Dorgon's ability was no worse than his own, so in the more powerful Most of the time, Huang Taiji still relied heavily on Dorgon, and Dorgon participated in or even directly commanded major battles.

Fan Wencheng once mentioned that raising tigers was a danger, but Huang Taiji understood the meaning. From the perspective of the overall situation of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji was unwilling to have internal problems. He hoped to stabilize the foundation of the Qing Dynasty through his own efforts.

Unfortunately, it is impossible for Huang Taiji to forget the following rumors, that is, after Huang Taiji Longyu passed away, according to the will of the first emperor, Dorgon should inherit the throne.

Huang Taiji was very angry, he had never heard of such a will, besides, at the beginning, the four major Baylors jointly acted in charge of the government, and he had made countless efforts to ascend to the throne, how could such a thing happen? This can only show that Dorgon has such an ambition.

Huang Taiji absolutely cannot let such a thing happen.

The turmoil in the grassland situation and the extermination of the Chahar tribe, in Huang Taiji's view, is the death of the grassland. The next direction the grassland will develop needs to be paid close attention to. It is necessary to come up with practical and feasible methods to prevent the grassland from major disasters. In the event of a sudden change, I must consider my next move.

The place where Su Tiancheng is stationed is clearly marked on the map. It is still far away from the Horqin Tribe, but Huang Taiji has a faint feeling that Su Tiancheng's next goal must be the Horqin Tribe. To command this battle, the key target is also the Horqin tribe. If the Horqin tribe suffers a major blow, the authority of the Qing Dynasty in the grassland will suffer a heavy blow. At that time, the death of the grassland will become the death of the Qing Dynasty. .

Thinking of these, Huang Taiji's face became even paler.

After thinking over and over again, Huang Taiji felt that he had to make a decision.

Sony, whom he trusted the most, was standing below, waiting all this time.

"Sony, you rushed to the Horqin tribe quickly. I wrote a letter and you handed it directly to the leaders of the tribe, asking them to follow my request. In addition, you find a way to find Hauge and ask Hauge to lead the army to fight with Horqin. The tribe will be reconciled. The army led by Daishan probably arrived at the Horqin tribe's camp. When they saw Haoge, they said that I asked Fan Wencheng to return to Shenyang to discuss important matters. In addition, Haoge seized some artillery, so don't transport them all. Come back, leave a part for the Horqin tribe, time is tight, you must complete the task as quickly as possible."

After Sony left, Huang Taiji felt even weaker and couldn't stand up.

He tried his best to stabilize his emotions, thinking about nothing, doing nothing, and doing it quietly. At this moment, Hai Lanzhu's figure entered his mind, making him even more sad.

Not far away, a pair of eyes were paying attention to Huang Taiji. The physical condition of Huang Taiji had become the focus of some Manchu nobles. This involved the stability of the Qing Dynasty and the ownership of the throne. Of course, some people paid attention to it.

After a long time, Huang Taiji stood up slowly, and with the support of the guards around him, he walked slowly towards the harem.

Next, within the Qing Dynasty, a struggle also slowly kicked off. (to be continued...)
