Borrow the day to change the day

Huang Taiji's personal guards naturally knew Fan Wencheng, seeing him like this, they were immediately taken aback, and hurriedly pass the news on for him.

At this time, Huang Taiji happened to be discussing matters with Ning Wanwo, Ma Guangyuan, Tong Yangxing and other Han officials. He was overjoyed when he heard that Fan Wencheng, who had gone to Zhangjiakou, had returned.

He happily said to these Han officials: "I told you that Fan Qing is capable of literature and martial arts, and I am very relieved to entrust everything to him."

After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he said to the personal guard who came in to report: "Quick transmission."

The guard's face was a bit weird, but seeing Huang Taiji's happy face, he didn't say anything after thinking about it, and he would know it after a while when he saw it profusely.

So, the personal guard immediately went out of the hall to pass on Fan Wencheng.

Huang Taiji thought about it for a while, and remembering Liu Xingzuo's story, he said to Tong Yangxing: "With Zhangjiakou's supplementary grain and iron equipment, the plan to establish the Han army can be implemented this time. How about the commander of the army?"

Tong Yangxing was the earliest Han Chinese who took refuge in Jianlu. He was related to Jianlu by marriage, and he was very close to Huang Taiji. From the perspective of reliability, he was the No. 1 choice.

Huang Taiji's idea of ​​forming a Han army has been brewing for a long time. Its purpose is twofold. One is to increase the military strength of Daikin. After all, there are too few Jurchens. Although they win every battle, there is always consumption. The number is too small, and Huang Taiji is not satisfied that the supplement of Dajin's combat power is limited to the Jurchen tribe.

The second purpose of setting up the Han Army is to have an extra combat force to increase the weight in your hands, which can further suppress other Baylors and prepare for the final seizure of power.

Tong Yangxing was overjoyed when he heard that Huang Taiji made him the commander of the new Han army. Originally, he thought that Fan Wencheng would be his strong competitor, but in the end, in Huang Taiji's heart, he still favored himself.

Deep down in his heart, he still knew that his abilities might be a little worse than Fan Wencheng's, so the news of Huang Taiji was a real surprise to him.

"The slave thanked the master, the slave must live up to the great trust, lead the heroic army, and be loyal to the master." Under the jealous eyes of several other Han officials, Tong Yangxing knelt down and saluted Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji appreciated that Tong Yang could understand his own intentions, and when he was about to speak, a person stumbled into the hall outside the hall, and just after entering the hall, he called "Master" and fell to the ground with a "plop".

Huang Taiji heard the sound and looked over, startled, how come a wild man in white came running.

Seeing that the man wanted to stand up, but seemed unable to stand up, he simply crawled towards Huang Taiji, shouting while crawling: "Master, the slave is back."

Huang Taiji heard the voice, saw his face clearly, and said in surprise: "Fan Wencheng, is that you?"

"Master, it's a slave. The slave finally saw the master." Fan Wencheng replied with tears.

Huang Taiji immediately stood up, approached Fan Wencheng, looked at it, and then shouted: "Come here."

Immediately outside the gate of the hall, two personal guards entered, waiting for orders.

"Help him up and give him a seat." Huang Taiji ordered.

Several other people in the hall looked at Fan Wencheng in astonishment, why did this handsome fan suddenly become a beggar?

"The slave thanked the master, and the slave has something important to report." Fan Wencheng said to Huang Taiji without any scruples about his indecentness, and he was dedicated to serving the public.

"The sky won't fall, so you sit down first, and rest for a while." Huang Taiji was concerned, and while comforting, he turned to the guard and said, "Hurry up."

When Fan Wencheng heard this, he thought to himself, although the Jurchens were barbarians like Duoduo, there were also wise and mighty khans.

He got up from the ground, but he didn't stand up, and he didn't go to sit. He just knelt down and pleaded guilty to Huang Taiji: "Master, the slave is useless, I went late, and I didn't fulfill the master's entrustment."

Huang Taiji was startled when he heard this, looked at Fan Wencheng, and said a little strangely: "It's late, why is it late?"

"Master, this servant rushed to Zhangjiakou day and night, but got the news that the country had discovered that Fan Yongdou and others were doing business with Dajin, and all of them were uprooted. The house was copied and asked to be executed!"

As soon as Fan Wencheng's words came out of his mouth, several people in the hall were stunned.

"Really?" After a while, Huang Taiji came back to his senses and confirmed again in disbelief.

"That's right, how could the Ming Dynasty have such boldness? It involves a lot of people." Ma Guangyuan surrendered to Jiancap in the Battle of Yongping, and he also knows the situation in Zhangjiakou. The interests of that place are intertwined. If someone wants to move those Shanxi merchants, they must have a big background.

"Master, I dare not lie to my master! It was Zhongxing Hou of the Ming Dynasty who led the white pole army to the Xuan Mansion in the name of distributing the frontier army's salary, so no one escaped."

"Marquis of Zhongxing? Is it the Marquis of Zhongxing who blocked my Dajin army in Qingshuimingyue Pass?" Huang Taiji already had an impression of this name, and immediately remembered it when he heard it.

"Master has a good memory, that's exactly what this thief did." Fan Wencheng praised Huang Taiji, and then said through gritted teeth.People who don't know think that Hou Zhongxing has a grudge against him for killing his father.

After hearing this, Huang Taiji stopped talking and paced back and forth in the hall. After thinking for a while, he stood still and asked Ma Guangyuan, "Who is this Marquis Zhongxing?"

Although Ma Guangyuan was a prisoner who surrendered during the Battle of Yongping, he was also the last of these people to take refuge.However, he has been in the local area, and he doesn't know much about Zhong Jinwei's situation.

He thought for a while, and replied carefully: "It is said that he was conferred the title of Uncle Zhongxing for his meritorious service in rescuing him. Maybe this person is so bold that he made some credit for fighting against the Jin army by chance, so he was conferred the title of Marquis of Zhongxing."

"That's not what I want to hear. I want to know his background, what skills he has, what he is good at, and what he likes?" Huang Taiji didn't hear what he wanted, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"This... this..., in the past, there were all kinds of news in the palace newspapers of the imperial court, but then they disappeared for some reason. The slave is in Yongping, so he doesn't know much about the affairs of the capital. The slave is guilty, please punish the master." Ma Guangyuan pleaded guilty to Huang Taiji, sweating faintly from his shaved bluish forehead.

Huang Taiji is the most rational among Jianludui.He didn't punish Ma Guangyuan for this, he just frowned and thought.

Tong Yangxing knew that these people were his companions, and being kind to them would help him gain a foothold when leading the Han army in the future, so he reminded him: "Master, in the past, there was no information in the Ming country. It was brought by those Shanxi merchants."

Tong Yangxing's words reminded Huang Taiji that now is not the time to ask about that Zhongxinghou, the most important thing now is how to deal with the aftermath.

Zhangjiakou was copied by the Hou Zhongxing, not only would not be able to get food and military supplies from Zhangjiakou in the future, but also other businessmen would not dare to do business with Dajin after hearing about it.Another key point is that the situation in the customs will also be discredited, which is extremely detrimental to the formulation of Daikin's future strategy.

Fan Wencheng saw that Huang Taiji had been silent, and knew that he was thinking of countermeasures.But he still had something to say, so he interrupted: "Master, this slave has an important matter to report."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Huang Taiji asked, frowning.Seeing Fan Wencheng's expression, he knew it was not good news.

"When I was going to Zhangjiakou, I met the Ming army who went out to retaliate against the Mongolian tribes who were close to Dajin. I saw that the matter was very important, so I sent my family back to Shengjing to report the letter." When Fan Wencheng spoke, he emphasized it in a subtle way On the way to Zhangjiakou.

"What about people, I haven't seen anyone report to me, something happened on the road?" Huang Taiji couldn't help asking when he heard that such important news was not delivered in time.

"In Shengjing City, the wife was killed to protect the slave." When Fan Wencheng said this, it seemed that he was referring to someone else, which had nothing to do with him.

Huang Taiji was furious: "Who dares to kill people in the city at will?" Speaking of this, he realized that those who dare to kill must be Jurchen nobles.So, he changed the subject and said: "You are wearing this suit, are you keeping a filial piety for him?"

No one believed that Fan Wencheng would wear filial piety for his servants, but when he asked this question, he focused his attention on Fan Wencheng's personal integrity.

"The servant's mother heard that the servant's wife was robbed and the servant died outside, so she was overly shocked and passed away." When Fan Wencheng said this, his face showed great pain.

The matter came back to who did it. Fan Wencheng's wife was taken away, his servant was killed, and his mother died of anger. For him, it was serious.

No matter what, Fan Wencheng is a good slave, even if Huang Taiji did it for the Han officials in the hall, he still had to show something, so he had no choice but to ask: "Who did the good thing, I will decide for you."
