Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 454
"Second brother, Hauge went to capture Jurchen and hasn't returned yet? He is impatient, so I have to ask second brother to take care of him in the future! How is the progress of the recruitment in various places? Food and grass supplies need to be prepared quickly. For many reasons, please ask the second brother Brother, worry about it!"

In the Chongzheng Hall of the Shengjing Imperial Palace, Daishan, Fan Wencheng, and Ning Wanwo who were summoned were waiting for the emperor of the Qing Dynasty to inquire.

On the throne, Huang Taiji's face was pale with a tinge of sick red, and his deep voice revealed a sense of weakness.

After receiving the emergency report jointly sent by Ji Erhalang, Yue Tuo, and Dorgon from the front line of Songjin, he was so angry that his wind-dizzy epistaxis broke out again, and his nasal cavity was bleeding profusely. Even more frightening than last time.

Hai Lanzhu, Bumbutai and others rushed to the doctor in a panic. After hearing the news, the imperial doctor Li Cunde who rushed over used acupuncture to seal the acupuncture points on the upper part of his nasal cavity, so that the blood stopped flowing.

This sudden serious illness caused Huang Taiji to lie on the sickbed for ten days, and his huge and obese body lost a lot of weight.During this period, he entrusted Daishan, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo and the others to the others, except that he issued an order to urgently recruit bannermen from all over the country to come to Shengjing.

In the past few days, after his condition had just improved, Huang Taiji braced himself, disregarding the persuasion of everyone in the harem, and appeared in the Chongzheng Hall to convene a discussion.

The family knows their own affairs.

He already had a premonition that his time might be running out, and he had to hurry up and arrange his affairs properly.

"Your majesty, be at ease. Haoge is straightforward, brave in battle, and has some prestige in the banner. I will help him with all my strength! After the emperor issued an order, more than [-] servants from Shengjing have come. , it is estimated that it will take about ten days to arrive.

The servants who arrived brought a lot of food and supplies, and the remaining ministers would try their best to raise money.Your Majesty still needs to take care of your body with peace of mind, we cannot live without you, Your Majesty, in the Qing Dynasty! "

Dai Shan, who had always called Huang Taiji Lao Ba, changed his rules this time, and his tone became respectful.

Of course he understands the meaning of Huang Taiji's simple words, and after giving Huang Taiji a very positive answer, Daishan still very much hopes that his eighth brother, who has a strategy in mind, can survive this catastrophe, otherwise, The prospects of the Qing Dynasty are really unpredictable.

Daishan knew in his heart that the strength and territory of the Qing Dynasty today were not only based on the foundation laid by his father Khan, but also because of the planning of his wise eighth brother, Yingguo. Although the old fourteenth is not bad , but his vision and strategy are still inferior to Lao Ba's.

Seeing that Lao Ba's body and bones are getting worse day by day, and if he really dies one day, who should the Qing Dynasty be handed over to?

Hauge is a reckless man, and he can fight in battle. If he is really holding the country, he is not that material at all.

Ji Erhalang and himself are not successful either, both are more than successful in defense and insufficient in attack. His son who has been sealed as a prince can only be a piece of auxiliary material, and his ability to control the overall situation is too poor.

It seems that the old fourteen can take on this burden, but in order to support the old eight, the two red flags turned against the two white flags. Who knows if the old fourteen will seek revenge if he takes power .

That's all, let's not think about it for now, let's talk about it when the time comes, for the benefit of the Qing Dynasty and the Eight Banners, once faced with a choice, so what if you bow your head to the old fourteen?
As for Hauge, for the sake of the national fortune of the Qing Dynasty, let's be a general who charges into the battle. I try my best to keep him from letting the old fourteen die, and I am worthy of the old eighth's entrustment.

"Second brother is determined. My body is already in great condition. After a few more days, I will be able to recover. Xiandou and Gongfu, what do you two think about the current situation? At this critical juncture, you two have something to say Don’t be shy, just speak out boldly!”

Huang Taiji nodded, responded to Dai Shan's statement, then looked at Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo and asked warmly.

In Huang Taiji's mind, compared to Fan Wencheng, who is good at handling various internal affairs, Ning Wanwo, who has unique insights on military affairs and is known for being outspoken and outspoken, is actually more appreciated by him. Taiji always treats Ning Wanwo honestly, and the relationship between the two parties is more like family.

But Ning Wan and I also have a bad behavior that Huang Taiji can't bear: I am addicted to gambling, and I often like to gather people to gamble wildly, and the amount of betting is also eye-popping.

For this reason, Huang Taiji City repeatedly warned him, Ning Wan, I was always in front of my face, turned around and went my own way, often calling many noble children from the Eight Banners to their homes to gamble wildly, which made all the princes very annoyed and disgusted. He spoiled his own children.

But the entire Eight Banners executives knew that Huang Taiji loved and trusted him very much. In addition, Ning Wanwo was indeed outstanding in political strategy, and personally formulated and improved the various rules and regulations of the Eight Banners.

Because of this, the senior leaders of the Eight Banners didn't want to come to the door to refute Ning Wan's face in person, so they could only complain to Huang Taiji from time to time, begging the emperor to restrain this talented but troublesome geek.

Huang Taiji also felt helpless about Ning Wan's bad habit. Apart from repeatedly issuing orders, he became ruthless two months ago and simply wiped out his position and asked him to shut himself up at home to reflect on his mistakes, so as to solemnly warn him. .

Only after Ning Wan did I feel the seriousness of the situation. I have stayed behind closed doors for two months and no longer acted recklessly. Only then did Huang Taiji feel a little relieved.

After hearing Huang Taiji's question, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo looked at each other. Ning Wanwo, who was a few years older than Fan Wencheng, bowed first and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to say that, this time our army is going south. The defeat has been decided! After losing so many troops and spending a lot of food and supplies, they got nothing. They did not capture a city, nor did they capture a large number of people and supplies. They only killed a few Ming troops, which did not help the matter at all. Therefore, the slaves thought that this The second is actually the unprecedented setback since Taizu founded the Eight Banners!

Although the slave hasn't seen anything for two months, he also knows that our Qing Dynasty is facing an unprecedented crisis. Without him, there is nothing to eat!At this time of domestic and foreign difficulties, the servant thought that it was better to make a long-term plan! "

Ning Wan and I bluntly stated the biggest difficulty that the Eight Banners are currently facing: the lack of food and grass.

Ji Erhalang and others led a total of about 20 people including the coats to the south, and they carried enough food and supplies for half a year for many people and horses. In other words, there is nothing wrong with doing so.

The high-ranking officials of the Qing Dynasty were full of confidence in sending troops to plunder this time. They believed that they would soon be able to defeat the Ming army and seize a large number of supplies. The things they carried were just for emergencies.

Unexpectedly, the war progressed to the present, and the result was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

The main army of 10 soldiers lost nothing, but had no choice but to confront the Ming army in the Songjin area.

The most deadly problem is that the mountains of food, grass and supplies taken away by the army have already exhausted the storage of the Qing Dynasty over the years.

The drought that has lasted for many years in Daming has inevitably extended to the Northeast. Although the disaster situation in Jianzhou is far worse than that in the Guan, it has been affected anyway. Under the backward production method of extensive planting and low harvest, Jianzhou's grain output has been two consecutive years. Even if Huang Taiji changed the year name to Chongde, it would not help.

"Grandpa's intention, is it wrong to send additional reinforcements now?"

　Thanks to Qingcheng Yunwu Piaomiao for the reward, today I revisited the masterpiece of the three idiots of the thief, the top-rank poor scholar, the beauty of the writing makes people look up, compared with this late senior with outstanding literary talents, my book is too hot.It is a pity that Senior San Chi passed away at an early age, which is very regrettable.
