Chapter 913 Defeating the Ming army with a small number of people?
Chapter 913: Defeat the Ming army with a small number?
In the main hall of the official hall of Dalinghe Fort City in Liaodong, Xihan, who was in charge of the Ministry of Industry of the Qing Dynasty, saw that Emperor Huang Taiji's face was as usual and he had no intention of stopping him. He couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart for his difficulty, and finally took control of Huang Taiji again.
Pulse gate.
He continued what he had just said: "Although Ming's army is strong, our Qing warriors are not afraid. The five hundred Bajala warriors who guarded His Majesty fought with them for an hour, and then they were driven back and even killed Ming.
There are more than 300 people under Qi Qiang, and they are captured without any calculation."
Every time Xihan said something, he would stop and secretly observe Huang Taiji's reaction. It was clearly reflected in him that being with a king is like being with a tiger.
"The Ming army was cunning, and another force was secretly lurking outside the Daling River Fort, hoping to ambush the Daling River defender Melezhangjing Weng Adai. Although the Ming army had more than a thousand cavalry, they were defeated by the 300 warriors led by Weng Adai. They were defeated.
And return.
The last two armies of the Ming Dynasty joined together and were pursued by our warriors. They suffered heavy casualties and fled for more than ten miles. Only a few Ming cavalry were left and fled deep into the mountains and forests. It is expected that they will not survive."
Xihan raised his head slightly and peeked sideways, and saw Huang Taiji's face was calm, as if he was listening to his replay, with no intention of interrupting. Then he concluded in his heart that he had finally found Huang Taiji's pulse gate.
His courage instantly grew stronger, and even his tone became very calm as he continued: "In this battle, Your Majesty will personally come to the battle formation to command. We, the warriors of the Qing Dynasty, defeated the Ming army with a small number.
Although there were Tazhan, the minister of the interior, and the right-hand member of the Ministry of War, who participated in the political affairs, and the ministers who discussed the affairs, Baya, Lahujia, Lazhang, Jingchaohar, Buyan and others died in front of the formation, sacrificing their lives for the country.
But their heroic performance was the foundation for the growing prosperity of our Qing Dynasty. This battle killed thousands of Ming troops and left corpses strewn across the fields. This was also the result of his bravery in front of the battle line."
"Reward, Ta Zhan, Chao Haer, Buyan and others have fought for the country for many years and have been loyal to me. They should be generously rewarded!"
Huang Taiji took over at the right time and set the tone for this meeting between the emperor and his ministers. He continued: "I, I am a little tired. Let's discuss the reward first. If we pursue the remnants of the Ming army, don't relax."
"Hey, I'll wait for the order."
Xihan, Erbilong, Weng Adai and others all responded to the order.
At this time, Niulu Zhangjingjue Luo Shuoerkun of Zhenghuang Banner played outside the door: "Your Majesty, Prince Su of Zhenglan Banner is outside asking to see the Holy Master."
After Huang Taiji heard the report, he straightened up suddenly and seemed to want to get up, but in the end he was too weak to get up. He said in a weak voice: "Prince Chuansu has come in, please stand down."
"嗻."
Xihan and others accepted the order softly and quietly and slowly exited the hall.
At the entrance of the palace, I happened to meet Prince Su Hauge who was about to enter the palace. When everyone was greeting them, he was scolded by him. Fortunately, Huang Taiji was stationed outside the main hall, so Hauge restrained himself.
…………
"Father, my ministers arrived too late to save me, which disturbed my father's holy carriage. I am guilty of death."
Hauge did not dare to act arrogantly in front of Huang Taiji. Even though no one else was present, he was still very cautious.
This actually has a lot to do with Huang Taiji's high hopes for him, because he is Huang Taiji's eldest brother, and the second brother is a full 18 years younger than Hauge.
At this time, Hauge was already thirty years old, but Huang Taiji's second elder brother Aixinjueluo Yebushu was only a fifteen-year-old boy. Before Yebushu, Huang Taiji also had two sons, namely Luo
Luo and Bolo met, but they both died early in childhood and did not reach adulthood.
It is precisely because of this that he knew that his eldest son Hauge had many flaws and problems, but he had to work hard to cultivate him, because at this stage, it seemed that there was no other candidate besides Hauge.
Although under Aixinjueluo Yebushu, Huang Taiji also had the fifth son of the emperor Aixinjueluo Shuosei, the sixth son of the emperor Aixinjueluo Gaosai, the seventh son of the emperor Aixinjueluo Changshu, and the ninth son of the emperor Aixinjueluo.
Xinjueluo Fulin, the tenth son of the emperor Aixinjueluo Taosai and other five sons.
But most of them were concubine princes. Even in the Qing Dynasty, where Han etiquette and teachings had not yet been fully formed, as concubine princes, they still could not inherit the throne.
Among them, the fifth son of the emperor, Shuosei, and the ninth son of the emperor, Fulin, were not born to concubines. The mother of the ninth son of the emperor, Fulin, was the concubine of Yongfu Palace, one of the five palaces, but she was only four years old and could not be raised at all.
It is precisely because of this series of factors that Hauge became the unique first heir to the throne, and Huang Taiji also devoted a lot of effort to him.
However, due to Haug's personality, he did have the inheritance from his father in terms of military command, and he was also very good. However, Haug acted too risky, and his recklessness and impulsiveness were his fatal weaknesses.
In fact, Huang Taiji originally had a son whom Huang Taiji planned to raise as his heir. Unfortunately, he died long ago before he was even one year old.
This was the eighth son of the emperor, born to Huang Taiji and Hai Lanzhu, the concubine of Guan Sui Palace. He didn't even have time to choose a name, and Hai Lanzhu also suffered from grief and illness, and would not recover for a long time.
One thing that can be believed is that Huang Taiji definitely loves Hai Lanzhu!
Just like when the concubine Chen Hai Lanzhu gave birth to the eighth son of the emperor, Huang Taiji for the first time offered amnesty to the world for the birth of a prince, which shows how much Huang Taiji loved him.
Of course, a large part of this love for the eighth prince came from his mother. As the saying goes, "love the house and the bird", Huang Taiji also passed on his love for Hai Lanzhu, the concubine of Guan Sui Palace, to her son.
It is a pity that this child who was destined to become the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty at birth was unable to resist the fate and died early.
Huang Taiji now feels that his physical strength is getting worse day by day, especially everything that has happened recently has made him feel mentally and physically haggard.
It was under the influence of this mentality that he was so determined when he returned to Shengjing to visit Hai Lanzhu.
Just because there is a lack of direction and goals in his heart, if he can't even see Hai Lanzhu for the last time, Huang Taiji really doesn't know what he has been working hard for for decades!
That's why he gave up the war in Jinzhou and wanted to go back to see the one he loved. Only in this way could Huang Taiji, a passionate person, feel that his life in this world was not in vain.
Decades of intrigue have become meaningful!
But he is not without ideas and arrangements for the future of the Qing Dynasty. It is still an important goal for him to let his son inherit the throne, and the only candidate for this choice is the eldest prince Hauge.
After all, although various systems and regulations in the Qing Dynasty have been basically established, the earlier system in the form of tribal alliances is still deeply ingrained in the minds of some people.
For example, Prince Li Daishan, who was the head of the four Baylors at the time, had great nostalgia and yearning for the time when the four Baylors were co-directors, and was the biggest supporter of this system.
Within the Qing Dynasty, there were still some people who coveted the status and power held by Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji was somewhat aware of these people with evil intentions.
In the past few years, he has also resorted to covert means to try his best to weaken some potentially dangerous forces, but he also knows that as long as he is around, these people will not dare to show up.
But once he encounters some kind of accident, there is no guarantee that these people will treat the new Qing Emperor the same way they treated him.
Due to the current situation in the Qing Dynasty, most of these people who are secretly preparing to take action have certain strength in their hands. Without conclusive evidence, even Huang Taiji, who is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, cannot do anything to them.
At this moment, Huang Taiji had already sat up with the help of the eunuch. His expression was miserable, but his breath was much better than before. It was obvious that when he met Xihan and others, he deliberately showed his weakness to them, maybe he had other reasons.
Purpose.
Although he had acted very weak just now, his majesty had not diminished at all, and now he had a completely different look when facing Haug alone.
Huang Taiji's face was kind, but there was a hint of majesty in it. He said to Hauge in a majestic tone: "I just want you to guard the Xiaoling River. Why did you take it upon yourself to cross the river to attack the Ming army?"
Regarding this matter, Hauge had already written to Huang Taiji to explain specifically. At that time, Huang Taiji did not say much, but at this time, he suddenly asked about this matter, which made Hauge feel very abrupt.
He was stunned for a while before replying: "Father, I felt at that time that the main force of the Ming army had gathered in Huangtuling. If we could take this opportunity to destroy the grain stores at the mouth of the river in one fell swoop, it would undoubtedly greatly damage the morale of the Ming army.
"
When he said this, he suddenly lowered his head and said: "My son failed to obey the emperor's order. Now I know that I was wrong. I hope my father will forgive me!"
Huang Taiji sighed and then said: "Your idea is not wrong, but as the eldest brother, every time you encounter something, you must think carefully before making a decision.
Otherwise, once the mistake is made, it will be too late to regret it.”
Huang Taiji stared at Hauge with loving eyes and said: "You are not only Prince Su of my Qing Dynasty, not only the flag owner of Zhenglan Banner, you are my son and the one who will inherit the great unification in the future.
Do you know how many eyes around you are watching what you do?"
In fact, although Huang Taiji felt that Hauge's ability to lead the war was not as good as his own, he still had to make concessions within the Qing Dynasty.
However, although Hauge was reasonably sound in military terms, in terms of the political aspects of the struggle for power within the Qing Dynasty, he was just like a three-year-old child.
Especially in front of Prince Rui Dorgon, who was famous for his resourcefulness, Hauge was like an idiot. He was speechless every time he attacked him and could only scold his mother over and over again.
What Huang Taiji was most worried about was Prince Rui, the three brothers of the Dorgon family, who were already the third force in the Qing Dynasty after Huang Taiji and Daishan.
This was still under Huang Taiji's strong suppression, which shows how outstanding his strategy and political ability are!
Now, although Prince Yu Duduo died on the battlefield, which greatly weakened Dorgon's strength, Huang Taiji had no confidence as to which faction Azig belonged to.
But he had no choice, after all, the ancestral precedents were there, not to mention that this was not a matter for the Dorgon family alone. After all, how the flag owner succeeded was a major matter related to the survival of the Qing Dynasty.
If Huang Taiji, in his capacity as emperor, can abolish the qualification of Duduo's heirs to inherit the banner of the White Banner today, then he will use the same excuse to attack the other banner owners of the Eight Banners tomorrow.
Among the Eight Banners of Manchuria, Huang Taiji and Hauge, father and son, can only fully control the three banners of Zhenghuang, Xianghuang, and Zhenglan. The remaining five flags actually belong to three forces.
The first force is naturally Huang Taiji's side; the second force is Prince Li Daishan who controls both the Zhenghong and Xianghong flags; and the third force is the Zhengbai and Xiangbai flag forces controlled by the Dorgon brothers.
As the leader of the Xianglan Banner, Heshuo Prince Zheng Jierhalang is a wall-riding faction in the middle.
Jierhalang should be very loyal to Huang Taiji, but once Huang Taiji has an accident, no one can say whether Jierhalang will be as loyal to Huang Taiji and the future master of the Qing Dynasty.
"Hauge, you must act steadily and appropriately in the future, and never do anything reckless again!" Huang Taiji was obviously very sincere.
Faced with Huang Taiji's warning, Hauge listened very carefully and replied very respectfully: "Yes. I will obey my father's teachings."
Seeing Hauge's performance, Huang Taiji also felt a little satisfied. He continued: "You must remember that you must have a good relationship with Prince Zheng in the future, so that the blue flag in his hand can be your help.
There are also several children and grandchildren of Prince Li. Young people are always easier to get along with. In the future, the title of Prince Li is destined to be inherited by one of them.
Even if you cannot grasp both red flags, you must at least win the support of one of them."
"Father, sons and ministers have all remembered it."
Huang Taiji's earnest warning made Hauge feel as if he was confessing his last words. For a while, he even choked up a little when he answered.
However, Huang Taiji did not pay attention to this, and only listened to him continue: "Now Azig has temporarily replaced the leader of the white flag. Although he has been very close to you in recent years, he and Dorgon and Duoduo are brothers after all.
Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still attached.
Although you won’t alienate him, you can’t trust him too much, lest you regret it too late in the future!”
These words made Haug stunned. In his opinion, Azig had already parted ways with Dorgon and Duduo, and he was full of resentment towards Dorgon.
What's more, the most rare thing is that Azig and I are very compatible in terms of temperament and temperament. Although they are uncle and nephew, they really get along like brothers.
Hauge had also been following Huang Taiji's previous warnings and tried his best to win over Azig and keep him further away from Dorgon. But now Huang Taiji wanted to guard against him, which was really unacceptable to Hauge.
But in front of Huang Taiji, he did not dare to ask any questions and could only obey the order obediently, so he immediately added: "Yes, my father and I have all remembered it."
Seeing that he was so sensible, Huang Taiji felt a little comforted, but in the end he felt uneasy, so he warned again: "There is one more thing, you should remember it well.
If you encounter the Ming army led by Zhang Cheng of Xuanfu again on the battlefield in the future, you must not be careless or look down upon. You must take it seriously and do not treat it with the same tactics as before against the Ming army.
You must remember this at all times and never forget it!”
