Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 219
(PS: It’s the end of the month, so beg for the monthly pass at the end of the month with the cheek.)
A few flowers bloomed, each showing a branch, let's not talk about the adultery between Wei Zhongxian and the governor of Liaodong, but let's talk about how our young master Zhang was longed for by his old enemy Jiannu and yearning for unrequited love day and night. (Master Zhang: A certain wolf, do we have any grudge against you?)
Back in time, back to the beginning of March in the eighth year of Apocalypse, when Master Zhang was still having a headache over the conflict between Xiong Tingbi and Mao Wenlong, the main force of Jiannu had successfully completed their plan to strike North Korea and force North Korea to surrender. Countless loot returned to Liaoyang, which temporarily relieved the food crisis caused by Xiong Tingbi's strict blockade, and temporarily stabilized the puppet regime that was about to collapse. It also greatly weakened the strength of Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town army, forcing North Korea to sever its opposition to Mao Wenlong. The support of the army has eliminated many hidden dangers in the rear, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone and achieve rich results.On the day when the troops returned to the city, the new puppet capital of Jianshou, the city of Tokyo, was full of cheers. The soldiers and civilians of Jianslaves were all ecstatic. Huang Taiji also regained the trust of Nurhachi, and regained the right to speak within Jiannu.

At the same time as the joy, there was a thunderbolt from the blue sky. Almost at the same time, the Zhangjiakou Locust Merchants Group, Jiannu’s best ally and one of the most loyal partners, was wiped out by Young Master Zhang. The news that he was executed by Ling Chi with [-] knives was also sent to Liaodong.Hearing this news, Nuerhachi, who had already hanged himself completely by the will of revenge and lotus ointment, jumped up from the hospital bed in shock, and shouted palely: "What? Fan Yongdou and the eight of them are finished? What about our weapons, supplies, food, grass, salt and tea in the future? These idiots, and Ning Wan, my idiot, how could they be so careless and let the little savage Zhang Haogu catch them?"

"Ama, it's no wonder Ning Wan me, or Fan Yongdou and the eight of them." Huang Taiji said with a gloomy face, "The key is that little mad dog Zhang Haogu, who is so insidious and crazy that he took advantage of his marriage. As bait, to lure Fan Yongdou and the others to ship on the day of his wedding ceremony, this fell into the trap of Zhang Haogu's little mad dog! Moreover, I heard that Zhang Haogu's little savage had already discovered Fan Yongdou two years ago Their flaws, but deliberately kept quiet, his insider, also lurking beside Fan Yongdou and the others for two years before making a move, cooperated with Zhang Haogu and the little mad dog to get rid of Fan Yongdou and the eight of them in one fell swoop, and took down Ning Wan Me! It’s just luck, that servant Fan Wencheng happened not to be in Zhangjiakou at the time, otherwise, he might not be able to escape!”

"Zhang Haogu little mad dog?" It was the first time Nuerhachi had heard of the new nickname of Young Master Zhang. After a little calculation, Nuerhachi gritted his teeth and nodded and said: "Yes, this little barbarian is indeed a madman, too. A mad dog—even his own wedding can set traps, he is either mentally insane, or a complete lunatic!" After reading this, Nuerhachi suddenly yelled again, "This thief will not die! My Dajin There will never be peace-!"

"How come there is such a mad dog in the Barbarian Kingdom?" Daishan was also annoyed and slapped the table straight, and shouted with a livid face: "In this way, if we take down North Korea, it is basically for nothing! Snatching from North Korea The food that comes back can only make up for the loss in Zhangjiakou at most, we still have to suffer from the food shortage!"

"In the long run, without Zhangjiakou, the harm will be even greater." Huang Taiji said darkly: "North Korea is small and poor, and its food production is not high. Food, I’m afraid it will drive them back to the barbarians. Moreover, North Korea’s products are scarce and its craftsmanship is low. It is impossible to provide us with high-quality weapons and armor like Zhangjiakou, let alone North Korea’s production is smaller. Cotton, tea, and cloth. So the acquisition of North Korea only temporarily relieved our urgent needs, and the loss of Zhangjiakou cut off an axle of our Dajin chariot."

Nuerhachi and his son present were all silent, acquiescing that Huang Taiji's words were reasonable. After a while, Nuerhachi gritted his teeth and said, "Old Ba, Fan Wencheng, that dog slave, is he still in the barbarian territory? Send someone to talk to him Contact, let him no matter how much money he spends, he has to re-contact some barbarian merchants in Zhangjiakou, let them replace the eight families of Fan Yongdou, and resume the supply of our Daikin! Barbarian merchants in Zhangjiakou, as long as they do business with us, the money will be Official positions, women, you can get what you want!"

"Ama, please forgive me, I'm afraid this will never be done for a while." Huang Taiji spread his hands and said helplessly: "The border city of Zhangjiakou is under the control of Manzi's Governor Xuanda, and now Manzi's Xuanda The governor is Zhang Haogu’s little mad dog again. With him in Xuanda, who else would dare to do business with us? Fan Yongdou and his eight families have not yet been sentenced, but like Ning Wan and me, they will definitely not be able to escape. A Lingchi execution, there is a lesson from them, and that Zhangjiakou businessman dared to touch Zhang Haogu's mad dog's ass?"

"What about the other border markets?" Nurhachi asked unwillingly.Huang Taiji shrugged his shoulders, and replied: "Back to Ama, don't count on other border markets, let alone that the Manzi court has stepped up its crackdown on smuggling in border markets. The scale of all of them is less than half of that of Zhangjiakou. Only the Gaotaibao border market in Yuan Chonghuan’s hands, we still have a little hope, but the Gaotaibao border market is too close to Shanhaiguan, and the old barbarian Xiong Tingbi is watching, and Yuan Chonghuan does not. Dare to be too presumptuous."

"Zhang Haogu, little barbarian, little mad dog!" Nuerhachi growled helplessly, "Did the old man dig your ancestral grave, or rape your sister? Why are you so against our Dajin in everything?" ?In Liaodong, you destroyed Shengjing, the capital of our Daikin! In Jimen, you killed Horqin, our ally of Daikin! In Xuanda, you killed our loyal ministers of Daikin, and cut off our The source of supplies! Wherever you go, you will cause disasters, you are really the plague god of our Dajin Kingdom? Calamity star?!"

"Ama, use countermeasures to get rid of Zhang Haogu's little mad dog." Feeling threatened, Tang Gu, the owner of the Zhengbai Banner, stood up and flattered him: "In Yierchen's opinion, Zhang Haogu's little mad dog Although it harmed the Zhangjiakou border city of Dajin, it also offended countless barbarian officials related to Zhangjiakou border city. Taking advantage of this good opportunity, we can use the old method to send people to the Manzi capital to bribe the barbarian officials. Talk bad things about Zhang Haogu's little mad dog in front of the old eunuch Wei, and let them kill Zhang Haogu's little mad dog."

"Idiot! If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!" Nuerhachi slapped the table and shouted: "If anti-indirect tactics are useful to Zhang Haogu, the last time he was in Liaodong, the old eight's anti-indirect tactics have already been used. Get rid of the little mad dog Zhang Haogu! Now that the Emperor Manzi and the old eunuch Wei trust Zhang Haogu little mad dog so much, what countermeasures are we going to use, isn't it a waste of money?"

Tang Gu was speechless, so he retreated in despair.At this time, Huang Taiji suddenly said: "Ama, for us now is actually a good opportunity with both danger and opportunity! We can take advantage of the current favorable situation to quickly adjust the national policy of Dajin, and then enter the Central Plains , annexed the barbarian country in one fell swoop."

"What can you do?" Nuerhachi knew that the eighth son was resourceful, so he held some hope.I never thought that Huang Taiji's words would be astonishing, "Ama, we can form an alliance with Mongolian Lindan Khan, use his hands to get rid of the little mad dog Zhang Haogu, and then use his hands to consume the strength of the barbarian court. Sit back and reap the benefits!"

"Alliance with Lin Danhan?" The faces of Nuerhachi and his sons present all changed color.Mang Gurtai even yelled: "Old Ba, are you crazy? Mongolian Lin Dan is the sworn enemy of our Da Jin, how could he form an alliance with us?"

"Fifth brother, you are quite right. Lin Dan is indeed our sworn enemy." Huang Taiji nodded, and then said darkly: "But that was the old Huangli in the past, and now Lin Dan is not only not ours. His enemy, he became an enemy with the barbarian court instead."

"Speak carefully and listen." Nuerhachi lay back on the couch, and while sucking the hibiscus ointment, he greeted the other sons: "Don't talk, wait until the old man finishes talking." Daishan and Tang In ancient times, Jiannu had no choice but to turn their attention to Huang Taiji together to see what earth-shattering words Huang Taiji could say.

"Ama, the key to our Dajin's enmity with Lin Dan lies in the Horqin Grassland." Huang Taiji sorted out his thoughts, and said slowly: "Ama can still remember that the first time we had a conflict with Lin Dan was in the barbarian In the 36th year of Wanli (1608), Ama sent General Buyangu to conquer the Yehe tribe of Mongolia. As a result, the Yehe tribe asked Lin Dan for help. Lin Dan sent reinforcements and joined forces with the Yehe tribe to defeat our army. Killed General Buyangu. Since then, we have had a grudge against Lin Dan, and we have fought against each other constantly, but the reason for the conflict boils down to one point—the Horqin Grassland! Ama, you want to protect the rear To relieve worries, we must control the Horqin Grassland; and in order to defend his position as the Mongolian Great Khan and realize his dream of revitalizing the Great Yuan, Lin Dan must also unify all Mongolian tribes. Of course, we cannot allow the Horqin Grassland to fall into our hands, so Lin Dan He is destined to become our Daikin's enemy! But..."

Speaking of this, Huang Taiji deliberately prolonged his voice, and asked with a smile: "But, Ama, have you ever thought that if we give up the Horqin Grassland to Lin Dan, will Lin Dan continue to be our enemy? Da Jin, Mongolia and Manming, among the top three in the world, Manziming has the largest land, the most abundant products, the largest population, and the strongest strength. The combination of our Dajin and Mongolia is less than half of Manziming, Lin Dan If he wants to unify the world and revive the Great Yuan, wouldn’t he consider forming an alliance with us and annexing the Central Plains together? Could it be that Lin Dan is really stupid enough to sit back and watch the most powerful Barbarian Ming Kingdom destroy us, and then lose Go over and destroy him? Zhang Haogu, the little mad dog, swept across the Mongolian grassland with an army of [-] barbarians, and he was invincible, didn't he wake up the alarm?"

"It makes sense, two weak teams join forces to win a strong one, as long as Lin Dan is not too stupid, he will understand this truth." Nurhachi nodded, and said embarrassingly: "But the problem is, those Mongolian tribes on the Horqin Grassland , have already surrendered to the barbarian court, how can we give up the Horqin grassland to the Lindan tartars?"

"Because the Horqin Grassland has fallen into the hands of the barbarians, we don't feel bad about sending it out." Huang Taiji said with a sly smile: "Our envoy can say this to Lin Dan, as long as Lin Dan breaks the covenant with the barbarians, we can send troops. Join forces with him to attack the Horqin Grassland and the Harqin Grassland. After they are defeated, only two grasslands will be his. To divide the world, he established his Great Yuan Empire, and we established our Great Jin Empire, he must be tempted! As long as he is tempted, we have the opportunity to use him!"

"It's a good idea, but will Lin Dan be fooled?" Nuerhachi frowned, thinking nervously about the feasibility of this idea.Huang Taiji replied in a deep voice: "Ama, after the barbarian court controls the Horqin Grassland and the Karaqin Grassland in order to protect their capital security, they will never spit it out. Lin Dan can't get the Horqin Grassland and the Karaqin Grassland." , and must have resentment towards Manzi Mingguo, as long as he hates Manzi Mingguo, we will have hope of success!" Speaking of this, Huang Taiji smiled slightly and added: "Besides, we have failed. Apart from losing a little gift and a few envoys, what else can we lose?"

"So, you can give it a try." Nuerhachi nodded slightly, then turned to the other sons and asked, "Tell me, what's the idea of ​​the old man?"

"Ama, my son thinks that the eighth brother's method is worth a try." Jiannu is indeed very united. Although it is very jealous of Huang Taiji's ability and strategy, the regent Da Beile Daishan still chooses to maintain Jiannu as a whole. Interest, echoed: "Based on our current situation, we cannot continue to fight on both sides. Winning over Lin Dan and forming an alliance with Mongolia is indeed our best strategic choice at present."

Daishan, the regent, agreed with Huang Taiji's strategy, and Nurhachi's other Jiannu who knew how to fight didn't say anything. They all nodded and agreed to give it a try—after all, even if this move failed, Jiannu would also lose It's nothing, if successful, the rewards Jian Nu will get are unimaginably huge.

"Okay, that's it!" Nuerhachi made the final decision, gritted his teeth and said, "Send an envoy to Chahanhot (Note) to contact Lin Dan to resolve the previous grievances, and the alliance will deal with the barbarians! As long as Lin Dan agrees, what shall we do?" All the conditions can be agreed, whether it is proclaiming tribute or acknowledging Lin Dan’s Yuan Kingdom, as long as Lin Dan declares war on the Manzi, we can agree! Hmph, after Lin Dan declared war on the Manzi Ming Kingdom, Zhang Haogu, the declared big man, threatened his rear In the hinterland, he must get rid of the threat of the little man Zhang Haogu first. If they fight, even if Lin Dan can't kill the little man Zhang Haogu, we can use his hand to weaken the power of the little mad dog Zhang Haogu! That little mad dog comes to harm our Daikin no matter what happens!"

"Then who should we send as an envoy?" Dai Shan asked a new question, and then suggested: "Why don't you let that servant Fan Wencheng be an envoy? He is eloquent and smart, and he is a suitable candidate. I am lurking in the Xuanda territory of the barbarians, and it is convenient to stop by Chahanhot on the way back."

"Brother, let's choose an envoy from among our brothers, and then send Bao Chengxian to him as his assistant. This will also show that we attach more importance to the alliance with Lin Dan." Huang Taiji shook his head and smiled again: "As for hiding in Xuan Fan Wencheng in the Great Territory, in fact, has a better role, he can give us a second powerful ally to deal with the barbarian Mingguo and Zhang Haogu's little mad dog."

"The barbarians in Shaanxi are rebelling against thieves?" Nuerhachi is also a major military officer, and he immediately understood Huang Taiji's intentions.Huang Taiji nodded, and said darkly: "Ama, I suggest that I appoint Fan Wencheng as the imperial envoy of Dajin, go deep into Shaanxi to contact the leaders of those barbarians and thieves, make a wish for them to be appointed officials, and encourage them to become more and more troublesome." Great, weaken the barbarian Ming Kingdom from within! At worst, let Fan Wencheng get in touch with those rebel leaders, laying the foundation for us to annex the Ming Kingdom in the future!"

"This is a good idea!" Nuerhachi made a decision again, and said with a smirk: "If it goes well, the barbarians and Lindan tartars will be encouraged to attack Xuanda back and forth. Even if Zhang Haogu's little barbarian has three heads and six arms, he can't take care of everything. Already!"

………………

Probably God felt that Jiannu was pitifully bullied by Young Master Zhang. After Jiannu adjusted the strategy of uniting Mongolia and attacking Ming, good luck suddenly returned to Jiannu, and one after another pies fell from the sky and hit Jiannu's head. superior.Abai, the third son of Nurhachi, who represented Jiannu as an envoy to Mongolia, led the hard-core traitor Bao Chengxian to leave Liaoyang. Within a few days, Huang Taiji sent good news from Ningyuan's inner line. Xiong Tingbi and Mao Wenlong, two old rivals of the North Korea, actually started internal strife, blaming each other and wanting each other to bear the responsibility for the fall of North Korea.Nuerhachi and Huang Taiji father and son were overjoyed, and quickly instructed them to be on the inside of Ningyuan, let the governor of Liaodong further provoke Mao Wenlong and General Xiong Tingbi to discord, it is best to drive Xiong Tingbi, a veteran battlefield slicker, out of Liaodong, so as not to build The slave army didn't even have the chance to go south to attack Shanhaiguan. If necessary, the slave army that had temporarily alleviated the food crisis could send troops to cooperate at any time.

There were also twists and turns. At least the decision of the Ming court to replace the governor of Liaodong scared Nuerhachi and his son into a cold sweat. Putting pressure on the Ming court finally helped the governor of Liaodong regain his official position.But at this time, Huang Taiji brought another great news from Ningyuan's inside line-some Ningyuan civil and military officials secretly informed Nuerhachi and his son, and begged Nuerhachi and his son to send troops and stationed only a few miles away from Jinzhou. In Yizhou City, which is ninety miles away, the threat of Nuerhachi and his sons being close at hand forced the Ming court not to attack the Ningyuan garrison, indirectly protecting the power and status of the generals in western Liaoning, as well as the safety of their lives.

"Stationed in Yizhou?" Although another big pie fell from the sky, Nuerhachi hesitated, and asked Huang Taiji in embarrassment: "Old Ba, do you think we should agree? Our main force The army has a total of more than 6 people. It is necessary to guard against the counterattack of the barbarians' navy and Mao Wenlong's barbarians in Pidao, as well as the rebellious Horqin Tatar army in the north. Is it too much division of troops?"

"Ama, this is a great opportunity, you can't miss it." Huang Taiji suppressed his excitement, and carefully gave Nuerhachi instructions: "Let's not say that we have already obtained the promise, as long as our troops are stationed in righteousness People from Ningyuan sent us a batch of grain and grass and five Hongyi cannons to help us solve the problem of food shortage and attack. After controlling Yizhou, we can also use the dog potatoes that Ningyuan gave us to farm and solve some problems. As for the food supply problem, on the one hand, we can harvest the grain from the barbarian army in Jinzhou at any time, and capture the barbarian people in Jinzhou as coats. It is also easier to secretly trade food, grass and weapons—if all goes well, we may even use Jinzhou as a bait. Surround the spot to fight for help, and get rid of that old barbarian Xiong Tingbi in one fell swoop. And as long as we keep the governor of Liaodong, we will never have to worry about threats from Liaoxi, and we can free up our hands to completely eradicate Mao Wenlong, the barbarian, a serious threat!"

"What about the troops?" Nurhachi was still worried, "If we want to pose a threat to the barbarian's Ningjin defense line anytime and anywhere, there is no elite army of more than [-], I'm afraid it's not enough."

"Ama, you are so wise, you were confused for a while." Huang Taiji smiled even more darkly, "The number of our troops stationed in Yizhou is reported by Ning Yuan to Xiong Tingbi Manzi and the Manzi court. Even if we only station [-] auxiliary troops, Ning Yuan will also report to the Manzi court and the old man Xiong Tingbi that we have [-] main forces stationed! Moreover, even if the old barbarian Xiong Tingbi attacks our Yizhou garrison, someone will give us a warning as soon as possible to make us prepare , set up a trap to entertain this old barbarian Xiong Tingbi!"

"Hey, why did I forget this? Old Ba, Daishan, you can arrange it, discuss it, and send those troops to station in Yizhou. Also, after you get the Hongyi Cannon, you must imitate a few more door, prepare for our future."

Note: Chahanhot is located in the current Bahrain Left Banner of Inner Mongolia, on the alluvial plain on the west bank of the Chagan Mulun River.
