Han ride

Chapter 113 Traitors Are Everywhere
"It was impossible in the past, but that doesn't mean it's impossible now." The advisers around him hadn't spoken yet, but Huang Taiji said quietly: "Our army is defeated. In a short time, I'm afraid there will be no energy left to run the grassland. Even With this big defeat, those grassland tribes will also be unstable. Although Lin Danhan has some strength, he is not Li Xin's opponent. Is it Li Xin's opponent? It can be said that Li Xin seized this opportunity and dared to gain a foothold on the grassland." Huang Taiji's words were poured from head to toe like a basin of cold water, making everyone wake up. At that time, everyone realized that they were no longer the original Qing Dynasty. Just now tens of thousands of people died. Now that so many people have died, how can there be a chance to control the grassland?In general, Jiannu's military strength is only about 10 people, and the Mongolian Eight Banners only have more than 6 people. Now they have lost more than 7 horsemen in one go, most of which are still the main forces of the Qing Dynasty. After careful calculation, Jiannu I don't have many people in my hands at all.How can such a small number of people attack Li Xin.

"Is it impossible to just watch Li Xin occupy the grassland like this?" Hauge said dissatisfied.

"Of course not. If Li Xin occupies the grassland, he will be my real enemy of the Qing Dynasty." Fan Wencheng said without thinking, "The Qing Dynasty cannot live without Mongolia. Li Xin is as cunning as a fox and has unrivaled courage. , if this person is allowed to occupy Mongolia, it may be another Genghis Khan. At that time, he will be the first to destroy our Qing Dynasty."

"What do you think, sir?" Huang Taiji also asked anxiously.He is also in a hurry now, Jiannu's loss this time is too serious, and there are problems with serious defense, let alone offense.But it happened that Li Xin couldn't get a huge advantage, this was the most important thing.

"Since we can't get it, then don't let others get it." Fan Wencheng said without thinking: "The emperor can call an alliance of all tribes in the grassland, and whoever can destroy Li Xin can make him a Mongolian Khan. In this way, there must be Many people went to attack Li Xin first."

"It's just that, Mongolia will no longer be used by me." Huang Taiji said with a frown.

"Before this, the emperor canonized the Taiji and banner owners of each tribe, and divided their territories and subjects. In this way, the whole Mongolia will become a loose tribe. These tribes, big or small, attack Li Xin at the same time. , They will also kill each other. The grassland will become a chaotic grassland. In this way, our Qing Dynasty can take the opportunity to cultivate and build up strength. When our strength is enough, the grassland at that time I'm afraid they've killed almost all of them, the grasslands are full of old and weak, how can the exhausted grassland be my opponent, I believe that the grasslands will be unified soon." Fan Wencheng said triumphantly.

"Sir, you are very cunning." Huang Taiji couldn't help clapping his hands and said.The rest of the people also nodded repeatedly, and Hauge lamented that although these Han counselors were timid and unscrupulous, they could come up with some vicious schemes.

"I'm ashamed to be a slave." When Fan Wencheng saw that his strategy was praised by everyone, although he was very proud in his heart, he didn't dare to show the slightest pride on his face, and he still had a humble look.

"Sir, this plan is good, but if another powerful person unites the grassland and a new Genghis Khan appears on the grassland, at that time, a powerful enemy will appear in the west of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, how can we herd horses in the Central Plains and occupy the Huahua River and Mountains in the Central Plains?" Dorgon said with a frown.

"This kind of situation will not happen." Fan Wencheng was obviously very sure, thought for a while and said: "Don't say that there are no people like Genghis Khan on the grassland now, even if there is, so what, the grassland is chaotic, and we The Qing Dynasty is on the rise. Once a tribe is found to be strong, our Qing Dynasty can use the strategy of long-distance and close-attack to continuously weaken the opponent. So that there will never be a tribe on the grassland that can surpass our Qing Dynasty, and there will never be a chance for peace on the grassland , Fourteen Baylor, do you think that in this situation, there will be people who will be unfavorable to my Qing Dynasty?" Dorgon's face moved when he heard this, but he stopped talking.Even Hauge on one side had to admit that Fan Wencheng in front of him was a bit wise.

"That's right, sir, this plan is very clever." Huang Taiji nodded repeatedly, and said: "As long as the grassland remains chaotic, and my Qing Dynasty can recuperate and accumulate strength, Li Xin will naturally have no peace, and in the Central Plains, there are countless soldiers The rebels, some people can hold back the Ming Dynasty and make them unable to accumulate strength, only in this way, our Qing Dynasty will be the winner in the end."

"The emperor is holy." Everyone bowed.

"You can pass the decree to the grassland, and I want to meet the Mongolian princes Baylor on the grassland." Huang Taiji hurriedly issued an order.Time is extremely important to Huang Taiji, because he understands Li Xin. This is a general of tiger and wolf. Once Li Xin gets a firm foothold on the grassland, he will be the enemy of Huang Taiji, so he can't wait. Eliminate Li Xin.

"Your Majesty, someone from the Ming Dynasty is here." At this moment, a eunuch broke in and said cautiously.

"Ming Dynasty? Who came here?" Huang Taiji was stunned, not only him, but also other people. The background of the dynasty is far above Jiannu. The Manchu Qing army who built slaves died one by one, but the Ming Dynasty was different, with a large population and strong economic strength. Although Jiannu repeatedly went south to invade the Central Plains, they only harassed the Ming Dynasty. The north, but Jiangnan, which was the most prosperous economy in the Ming Dynasty, was never affected.There are countless gold and silver treasures in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as countless food and grass. It can be seen that as long as the dynasty is rectified a little, Emperor Chongzhen will be able to obtain countless troops.Therefore, Huang Taiji was very surprised by the people from the Ming Dynasty.

"It was sent by a general named Kong Youde, who said he was here to surrender to the Qing Dynasty." The eunuch said quickly.

"Mr. Fan, who is this Kong Youde!" Huang Taiji asked curiously.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations to Your Majesty. With this person coming, I can at least increase the number of troops in the court by tens of thousands." Fan Wencheng was stunned, thought for a moment, and said loudly.

"Sir, does Kong Youde really have such abilities?" Dorgon asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what Kong Youde is like, but there is one person the Emperor definitely knows, and that is Mao Wenlong. This Kong Youde is Mao Wenlong's former subordinate." Fan Wencheng said proudly: "One Kong Youde is nothing, but when this person came, It can explain a problem, that is, my Qing Dynasty has won the hearts of the Han people, and after Kong Youde came, more and more Han people will come to my Qing Dynasty."

"Since this is the case, I want to reward Kong Youde generously." Huang Taiji was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said to the eunuch, "Preach the decree and let the messenger come in. I want to see him."

"The villain Li Jiuzheng pays homage to His Majesty the Qing Emperor." At this time, a fat-faced general strode in and bowed to Huang Taiji.

"You hold any position under General Kong, why did you come to our Qing Dynasty?" Huang Taiji asked with a pleasant face.

"The villain is General Kong's deputy general. He was ordered by General Kong, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi to meet with His Majesty and discuss the matter of submitting to the Qing Dynasty." Then Li Jiuzheng did not dare to neglect, and quickly explained the matter. Change.

It turned out that there was no other way for Kong Youde to surrender.I think that Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi are all Mao Wenlong’s former subordinates. In fact, the rebellion in Shandong originated from the chaos in Pidao. Pidao is located at the mouth of the Yalu River. , Jin and other aspects played a huge role in the harassment, but it is a pity that this role ceased to exist because Yuan Chonghuan executed Mao Wenlong.After Mao Wenlong's death, a series of changes occurred in Pidao, which were closely related to the brothers Liu Xingzuo and Liu Xingzhi.

Before Mao Wenlong died, he once instigated Liu Xingzuo brothers who surrendered to Houjin. Liu Xingzuo joined the Manchu camp very early and made great contributions in the war between Houjin and Ming Dynasty. The four prefectures of Jin, Fu, Hai and Gai, the Han people's residential area in eastern Liaodong, were all under the jurisdiction of Liu Xingzuo.However, in the environment where the Jurchens oppressed the Han people, senior Han officials like Li Yongfang and Liu Xingzuo were inevitably bullied and excluded by their Jurchens colleagues. Under such circumstances, the Liu Xingzuo brothers had the idea of ​​returning to the Ming Dynasty.

Under Mao Wenlong's instigation, after a series of painstaking serial designs, the Liu Xingzuo brothers finally avoided the surveillance of the Jurchens, successfully fled back to Phi Island, and served under Mao Wenlong's command.In Phi Island, Mao Wenlong covered the sky with one hand and had great power, which eventually aroused the dissatisfaction of the Liu brothers.Therefore, when Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong by false decree, Brother Liu Xingzuo welcomed him and wanted to replace him. He helped Yuan Chonghuan suppress the resistance of Mao Wenlong's old tribe and was appreciated by Yuan Chonghuan. Yuan Chonghuan was not a simple person. After he killed Mao Wenlong, The soldiers of Pidao were divided into two associations, east and west. Mao Wenlong's old department Chen Jisheng and Liu Xingzuo each led one association. Later Liu Xingzuo was transferred to the mainland, followed by his younger brother Liu Xingzhi.

Soon after the Jisi Incident, Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned, and Liu Xingzuo was attacked and killed. Liu Xingzhi, who had lost his backing, had a precarious position on the island, and Mao Wenlong's old department headed by Chen Jisheng was full of suspicion about him.In order to reverse the situation, Liu Xingzhi launched a mutiny and killed Chen Jisheng, the leader of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, in an attempt to monopolize Pidao and establish a third world between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty.But his plot did not succeed because of getting rid of his opponent. The imperial court sent Huang Long, the chief soldier, and Zhang Tao and Shen Shikui, Mao Wenlong's former subordinates, launched a mutiny again and killed Liu Xingzhi and the Jurchen soldiers he led.

In the struggle between Mao Wenlong's old department and the suspicious outsider Liu Xingzhi brothers, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, who were also Mao Wenlong's old department, seemed to be standing in Liu Xingzhi's camp. Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua's account.Sun Yuanhua appointed Kong Youde as the general of the Zuo Battalion of the Infantry, and Geng Zhongming was sent to Dengzhou Fortress.

At this time, Geng Zhongming's younger brother Geng Zhongyu, who was staying in Pidao, plotted a rebellion, secretly contacted Houjin, and was arrested and imprisoned by Huanglong.In order to rescue Geng Zhongyu, Geng Zhongming ordered Geng Zhongyu's subordinates to besiege the Huanglong government office in the name of asking for salary, and tied Huanglong up. Unfortunately, Huanglong was rescued by his subordinates' cronies. However, under the protection of Sun Yuanhua, Geng Zhongming was not punished, but he has formed a relationship with Huanglong since then, and he has evil intentions.

At this moment, the Battle of Dalinghe started, and the imperial court urgently ordered Denglai to send troops to support Liaodong. It has to be said that although Sun Yuanhua has some skills, it is a pity that he is much worse in judging people. He neglected to employ people and sent Kong Youde to lead the army. Although Kong Youde had no choice but to go out, he dawdled all the way, trying to delay the war until the end of the war. However, Huang Taiji fought a protracted war in Daling River, which lasted for several months. In addition, Li Xin was making trouble on the side, which made the battle time longer. The delay was getting longer and longer, Kong Youde did not drag it to the end of the war, but dragged himself down first.When the troops reached Wuqiao, Hebei, the food had already been eaten, the weather turned cold, and it snowed heavily. The soldiers were starving and cold, and complained a lot.At this time, Kong Youde has come to a crossroads, either to eat in Liaodong, or to rob on the spot, Kong Youde has to choose between the two.Instigated by the general Li Jiucheng and others, Kong Youde held high the banner of rebellion and sent troops to plunder.It's just that Kong Youde was afraid of failure, so after the rebellion, he immediately sent Li Jiuzheng to Shengjing to ask for submission to the Qing Dynasty.
