"In the Battle of Lushun, our Eight Banners warriors suffered heavy losses, and this is all my brother's fault. I sincerely ask the Khan for permission. My brother will go with Saharian and do his best."
Dorgon's appearance surprised everyone.
Going to Shandong as an envoy, in the eyes of many people, means stepping into the dragon's den and the tiger's den.
No one can guarantee whether he can come back alive.
But Dorgon took the initiative to ask for help. Is he really not afraid of death?
When Huang Taiji looked over, Dorgon explained the reason.
"The Battle of Lushun was not due to the lack of bravery of our Eight Banners soldiers, nor was it due to omissions in various strategies. It was just because the Shandong New Army's firearms were powerful and rare in the world. My brother was unwilling to do so and wanted to investigate on the spot. If we could learn about it,
The Shandong New Army's actual situation is also good for planning for the future."
Dorgon is undoubtedly arrogant.
As Nurhachi's favorite son, he has also made outstanding achievements in battle since he led the army, and he will win every battle.
You must know that he was once only one step away from the throne of Khan. Even today, Hou Jin is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
However, the disastrous defeat in Port Arthur really made him disgraced and his reputation was greatly reduced.
If this shame is not washed away, Dorgon knows that he will never be able to raise his head.
He never lacked courage, nor lacked wisdom.
Although he had never heard of the proverb "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs," he also had the realization that different paths lead to the same destination.
After listening to his self-analysis, Huang Taiji couldn't help but praise him.
"You have such great ambitions, so what does it matter if I wasted a lot of money for a while? I will definitely be able to sweep the world and avenge Lushun in the future."
Dorgon said again: "I beg the Khan for permission."
"That's right."
After the weather warmed up, Yu Lichun and Geng Wanrong had been carefully on guard, waiting for Hou Jin to make a comeback.
But as June is almost over, there is no movement at all from Houjin.
The two were worried and even ordered the reconnaissance troops to go all the way north and ran to the vicinity of Gaizhou Guard, but still saw no sign of Hou Jin's troops gathering.
Just when the two were confused, Hou Jin's envoy arrived.
"Both Shandong and I, Daijin, were harmed by the cruelty of the Ming emperor. We should work together to kill the tyrant and restore peace to all peoples. Today we come here just to put aside the grudges of the past and form a brotherly alliance with Shandong. With this intention
Heaven and earth can be represented, so I invite you two to report it and pass it on."
Looking at the people appearing in front of them, Yu Lichun and Geng Wanrong wanted to take action.
This is Dorgon!
I think back at Qingshui Pass, Bai Xiaoqi killed A Min with one shot, but now he has become one of the four military commanders.
Compared to Amin, Dorgon's reputation is undoubtedly even greater.
What kind of credit would it be if he was killed by the sword?
Fortunately, the two of them were not ignorant barbarians. When the two armies were fighting, they still understood the reason for not killing the envoy.
"Please rest here. We need to wait for a reply from the headquarters about what happened next."
The news that Dorgon and Sahalian were on an envoy to Shandong was sent to Zuo Menggeng and his cabinet as quickly as possible across the Bohai Sea.
"Those who are not of my race must have a different heart. I am afraid that the Jurchens have bad intentions."
At the joint meeting, Li Banghua was somewhat resistant to this matter.
He was one of the Liaodong Iron Triangle at the beginning and personally participated in the battle with the Jurchens, so he did not have any good impression of the Jurchens.
"It seems that the Battle of Port Arthur really hurt the Jurchens, so they came to seek peace."
As the former leading general of the advance detachment heading north, Huang Sanhu considered matters more from a military perspective.
"What conditions have they prepared to ensure that we will agree to sue for peace?"
Zuo Rong was puzzled.
It stands to reason that Shandong and Houjin have already formed a blood feud, and there is absolutely no reason to live in peace.
He couldn't think of any conditions that Hou Jin could come up with to stop Shandong's hostility.
Everyone has been thinking about this question, but there is no answer.
Zuo Mengeng was always smiling.
At this time, cheaters take endless advantage.
"What conditions can the Jurchens have? It's nothing more than marriage."
Zuo Menggeng was very familiar with the Jurchens' family history, so he could see through the Jurchens' plans at a glance.
Others just didn't think of this level, but after he pointed it out, everyone understood it.
"But Lushun is right there, always pressing against the Jurchens' throats. Can they really endure it?"
Liu Yiyuan considered it from a strategic perspective and was a little confused about the significance of the Jurchens' compromise.
It was Zuo Mengeng who cleared away the clouds and mist again, and everything became clear.
"Don't just limit your sights to Liaodong, but look at the overall situation. If my prediction is correct, the Jurchens should be planning to launch troops against Chahar Mongolia."
Everyone was stunned, not expecting his brain circuit to expand so far.
"Chahar is far away in Qinghai. Do the Jurchens really dare to cross thousands of mountains and rivers to fight?"
Huang Zongxi raised doubts.
Zuo Mengeng pursed his lips and chuckled.
"If Chahar has been in Qinghai, the Jurchens will naturally be disappointed. But what if Chahar comes back?"
Everyone is even more confused, and they don’t know what his arguments are.
Pieces of historical data flashed through Zuo Mengeng's mind, making him more confident.
"It should be that Lin Danhan is dying. The others cannot convince the crowd, and there are wolves around him. Chahar has no other choice. In order to survive, he must return to his hometown."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Siyi couldn't sit still.
"Although Lindan Batur is a loser, Chahar can unite as one with him. If he is gone, Su Tai will have no idea, Ezhe will be even more useless, and Chahar will definitely be swallowed up by Huang Taiji."
Her expression became anxious.
"No, we must stabilize Chahar no matter what. As long as Chahar is around, Huang Taiji will not be able to take over Mongolia, so he will always be tied up. Once Chahar falls into Huang Taiji's hands, he will become
The leader of the grassland is rapidly expanding in strength, and it will be difficult for us to deal with him again."
Zuo Mengeng smiled meaningfully.
"Chahar is thousands of miles away, and we are beyond our reach. There is nothing we can do if we want to interfere. Besides, there is nothing wrong with letting Huang Taiji annex Chahar."
Everyone was puzzled and couldn't imagine what benefit Huang Taiji would bring to the overall situation by annexing Chahar.
Zuo Menggeng’s baton was focused on North Korea.
"Huang Taiji annexed the Chahar tribe not because he was greedy for Chahar's strength, but to pass on the national jade seal. Once he gets this thing, he will definitely proclaim himself the emperor and establish the country. And if he wants the emperor's throne to be legitimate, he must have all the grassland tribes.
, the recognition of surrounding countries. With North Korea’s virtue, it will never agree without being beaten. Therefore, after Huang Taiji annexes the Chahar tribe, he will definitely use troops against North Korea.”
Hou Xun was shocked.
"Then once the Jurchens conquer North Korea, won't they be invincible in all directions?"
Zuo Mengeng nodded.
"This is Huang Taiji's strategic concept."
Hou Xun looked gloomy.
"Since you already have insight, why do you still let it go?"
Zuo Mengeng looked at everyone and finally showed his fangs.
"How can we allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch? Don't you think that North Korea is a bit too eye-catching?"
