Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 267 monstrous hatred
There is joy and sorrow in the world. The so-called sorrow and joy are not the same, and blessings and misfortunes are interdependent. No matter where they are, it is inevitable. Just like in the current Liaodong territory, the Ming Dynasty is intensively rebuilding its foundation, while at that time the Jianlu Eight Banners were facing a crisis. A crisis...

Jiefan City.

The Khan's palace was temporarily set up.

"Ajige, Yue Tuo! You fucking want to rebel!!"

At the outer gate of the Khan's Palace, Mang Gurtai showed an angry face, raised his knife and pointed at the two men and shouted: "Ben Beile wants to see Khan Ama, but you dare to lead troops to stop him. What is going on now? Do you want to Are you going to be my Daijin’s sinner!?”

"Fifth brother, what did you say?"

Azig said without fear: "I am also under the orders of Khan Amma. Without Khan Amma's personal order, no one can enter the Khan's palace. Anyone who dares to trespass will be punished as treason. Fifth brother, please don't." It’s hard to call my brother.”

As he said that, Azig lowered his hand to the handle of the knife and stared at Mang Gurtai with sharp eyes. Geshiha who was walking on the left and right drew their knives one after another. As for Yue Tuo, although he didn't say anything, his expression made it clear. Attitude.

However, during this period, Yue Tuo did not look at anyone else, but kept staring at Daishan.

"you!!"

Mang Gurtai's chest was filled with anger, and he glared at Azig fiercely. Daishan, Amin, Tabai and other people gathered around him showed different expressions.

Daishan, in particular, felt Yue Tuo's gaze and clenched his hands.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Since the defeat in various parts of Liaozuo, especially Crow Falcon Pass and Fushun Pass, which were successively recaptured by the Ming army, many things have changed. The Eight Banners powerful force led by Nurhaci suffered its first major defeat since the founding of the Jin Dynasty.

No one expected that when the two sides were fighting fiercely in Liaozuo, the Ming Dynasty actually sent an elite division of unknown size to surprise the old capital of Hetuala, so that the two sides started a fierce battle in Liaozuo, and the fight was inextricably linked. On this occasion, everyone in the Eight Banners was suddenly shocked to hear this urgent report.

Xiong Tingbi and the others did not want to mention too much about the Liaozuo War that had ended long ago, and even deliberately tried to forget everything that happened during it.

Because in this war, the Liao garrison troops participating in the war suffered too many casualties, and were even forced into dangerous situations many times. If Qi Jin and Qin Bangping had not led their troops to conquer the Crow Pass, the two sides would have killed each other in the Hunhe River. In the bloody battle unfolding in this area, the main force aiding Liao led by Chen Ce and others will die more.

For the same reason, the powerful Eight Banners forces participating in the war did not want to mention too much. They clearly tried their best to break through the Liaozuo front line of defense, pushed the war to the strategic area of ​​Shenyang, and pressed all Ming army units to fight. They paid for this The price was more tragic, and even the collapse happened in the blink of an eye, but news of the capture of Hetuala and the capture of Crow Falcon Pass made the retreat inevitable...

Among the four major belles, only the fourth belle, Huang Taiji, is not in Jiefan City. Huang Taiji was ordered by Nurhaci to lead the army to guard Sarhu City, to recapture the Ming army stationed at Fushun Pass in a confrontation, to ensure the stability of Jiefan City and to avoid the Ming army. Continue to invade further.

As for the three Belles, Daishan, Amin, and Manggurtai, they were ordered by Nurhaci to stay in Jiefan City.

At this moment, when there was a confrontation outside the Khan's palace, there was another situation inside the Khan's palace.

The simple Khan Palace, well, it can only be called simple. This complex of buildings was built in a relatively short period of time. Not long after Nurhaci moved here from Hetuala, he moved the core of his forces to Sarhu City.

The core purpose of Nurhachi's continued advance was to fully control the captured Fushun Pass, Crow Falcon Pass, Kaiyuan, Tieling and other places, so as to continue to threaten the Liao Zuo in the future and seize more from the Ming army. City, population, land, wealth.

If the core force is closer to the Liaozuo front line, the loss of various military supplies during the war will be greatly reduced, and the time for delivering various military supplies to the front line will also be shortened.

Nurhachi was very strong in military affairs, but it was limited to military affairs.

It's just that Nurhaci's clear strategic vision was accompanied by the failure of the Liaozuo battle, which basically declared that all previous efforts were wasted.

As for the Khan Palace where Nurhaci lived in Jiefan City, it can't even compare with the mansions passed down from generation to generation by some gentry under the Ming Dynasty. Apart from the larger area, the buildings built have no sense of beauty at all. It can be said.

For the very particular literati and officials under the Ming Dynasty, they would not even take a second look at such shoddy places.

If we really want to talk about it, except that the Eight Banners powerful force created by Nurhaci may be stronger than the Ming Dynasty in the military aspect, there is no way to compare with the Ming Dynasty in other fields such as politics, culture, economy, technology, etc.

At this stage, the area under the jurisdiction of Daijin even still retains the slavery system, which has also led to many internal hidden dangers, many contradictions, and sharp confrontations. However, it has continued to win on the battlefield before, especially the Battle of Saarhu, which severely damaged the Ming Dynasty. The army only prevented these from being exposed.

In the original historical trajectory, the reason why Jianlu was able to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and aspire to conquer China was simply because they had picked up the slack. Only one core manpower was insufficient, which made Jianlu's countless attempts to plot Shanhaiguan fail.

Even though Jianlu invaded the pass many times with heavy troops, they still failed to capture Shanhaiguan. They detoured through Mongolia and entered the pass. No matter how much territory they captured, they could not form an effective rule. At most, they plundered wealth and population, causing Ming Dynasty to suffer heavy losses. ..."Ahem~"

Violent and rapid coughs continued to be heard from the main hall of the Khan's Palace. The two yellow flags guarding the outside of the palace stood upright like sculptures, but in the depths of many people's eyes, there was a hint of worry. color.

"Khan Ama, you have to take care of yourself."

Dorgon's eyes were red, and he knelt beside the bed, holding Nurhachi's hand tightly, and said with concern: "Dajin still needs Khan Ama to support him, stabilize the situation as soon as possible, so that he can find the thief Ming Yixueqian in the future." shame!"

"I don't regret the beginning!"

Nurhaci, who was leaning on the cushions, looked at Dorgon with unwillingness and anger in his brows and said: "When Kuandian Forts urgently delivered military reports from the front line, if I had chosen to retreat, I would not have continued to follow the gang in Liaozuo. Mingguo fights to the death, maybe..."

"Khan Amma, let him let go of the past."

Dorgon comforted him: "This is what Khan Amma taught his sons in the past. Now that things have happened, it will be useless to think about them anymore. You need to take good care of your health now so that Daijin will not be defeated."

"Idiot, it's not as simple as you think."

Nurhachi sighed softly, stretched out his hand and patted Dorgon's cheek and said: "Hetuala was captured by the Ming Dogs in a surprise attack. The entire city was burned down, and all the residents were killed. Many of them were even kidnapped by the Ming Dogs."

"Once this kind of news spreads to the grassland, not to mention other places, but just to the various tribes in the Horqin Grassland, I am afraid there will be some ambitious people who are secretly thinking about how to plot against me, Da Jin."

"Not to mention that the Chahar, Karaqin and other Mongolian tribes have always wanted to invade Daijin, and then take away this fertile land and rob my Daijin people to graze for them."

As he said this, Nurhachi clenched his hands tightly, feeling a surge of anger in his heart.

Even if the Eight Banners were defeated on the Liaozuo front line and lost all the city passes they had captured in the Liao region, the impact would not be as great as the destruction of Hetuala City. This city was not only of great significance to Daijin. , it is different for the surrounding tribal forces, but the key to the problem now is that not only the city of Hetuala was burned down by the Ming army, but many city passes in Liaozuo were also taken away by the Ming army.

Even now, Nurhaci is still puzzled as to how Xiong Manzi did it.

The Ming army that unexpectedly attacked the city of Hetuala was not afraid of the bitter cold, maintained high morale and marched long distances. They even carried a lot of artillery and rushed over in the shortest time.

You must know that if you want to reach Hetuala City from the Kuandian Fort area, the rugged and complex terrain, especially the cold climate, can freeze to death if you are not careful late at night, even the most elite Ba Ya La, under the same conditions, fully realized the Ming army's deployment of surprise attack on Hetuala.

"Khan Amma, what should I, Dajin, do next to get through this difficulty?"

Dorgon said with a worried look on his face. In fact, in his heart, he wanted to ask his mother and concubine if there was still a possibility of rescue, but Dorgon also knew that he could never say these words in this situation.

"Now it depends on whether Lao Qi (Abatai) can stabilize the Horqin Grassland, whether Du Du's troops can stabilize the Kuandian Forts, and whether Lao Ba (Huang Taiji) can stabilize the city of Sarhu."

Nurha narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "As long as these places can be stabilized, the Eight Banners will be able to take the initiative, try to conquer some tribes, and overcome the difficulties faced by this fiasco at a relatively small cost."

"Khan Amma, are we still going to fight?"

Dorgon said in surprise
"Not without fighting!"

Nurhachi frowned and said: "Previously, for the battle of Liaozuo, Daikin spent too much food and war horses. If these problems are not solved, internal chaos will inevitably arise."

"At that time, all the Mongolian tribes that are enemies of Dajin, including the armies of the Ming Dynasty, will launch an offensive against Dajin."

"Instead of waiting for others to beat us, we should go and beat others. Now if there is any mistake in Daikin, we can't let it happen again. We must solve the immediate crisis."

"When all this is settled, I must mobilize heavy troops to attack Liaozuo again. If we don't take this place, I, Dajin, will never have peace in the future!"

For Nurhaci, no one knows better than him the shortcomings of the Eight Banners, so he must hold on and get through this difficulty. He is extremely angry and wants to eat Xiong Tingbi alive. They, but if they don't manage to overcome the current difficulties, then the next situation will be even more difficult...
