Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 926: The Battle for the Khanate (4)

No matter how small a force is, once power and interests are involved, factions will emerge within it. This is human nature.

Who doesn't want more?
The current Eight Banners of Jianlu are a perfect illustration of this point. Nurhaci is getting older, and the external pressure continues to increase. This has made many people begin to plan for the future. To put it bluntly, now that Nurhaci is dead, where should the Eight Banners go?
This idea has been shared by more than one person.

The Eight Banners suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Jinshan, but for this special system of the Eight Banners, as long as the real elite were not completely lost, they could gradually recover through warfare.

In the past, the Eight Banners troops did encounter many troubles and attacks, whether in the Korchin grassland or Nurgan area, but more people died in the battles from the marginal groups, while the core groups of the Eight Banners continued to increase with each conflict and battle.

The Eight Banners do not need weaklings!
Only the truly strong can become slave owners of all levels of the Eight Banners!!
This is also the reason why Xiong Tingbi, who was far away in Shenyang, knew the progress and results achieved in various places, but still did not relax his vigilance against the Eight Banners.

Shengjing City.

Beile Mansion.

"Given Daishan's behavior, it's no wonder that Khan Ama first kept him in Shengjing and then sent him to Khorchin." Huang Taiji stared at the secret report in his hand with a smile and said with disdain.

"If it were me, I would do the same. He doesn't even understand the principle that the one who is close to the water gets the moon first. Even if that incident hadn't happened, he wouldn't have become the leader of the Eight Banners!"

"The master is right."

Fan Wencheng smiled and said, "Our great prince is good in every way, except that he is henpecked and indecisive, which is the root cause of his failure."

"Haha~"

Huang Taiji laughed.

After returning to Shengjing City, Huang Taiji went to the Khan's Palace several times, but without exception he was not summoned by Nurhaci, and Huang Taiji did not think much about it.

Because he knew that his Khan Ama's so-called serious illness was most likely false, but he couldn't guess why he did this.

"How's that going?"

Huang Taiji folded the secret report, stood up and walked towards the charcoal brazier. Seeing this, Fan Wencheng hurriedly stood up and followed. When he heard what Huang Taiji asked, Fan Wencheng hurriedly said.

“Compared to the past, it has loosened up a bit.”

Looking at the secret report burning in the charcoal basin, Fan Wencheng said calmly that in addition to awe, he also felt more admiration for his choice of this master.

No matter what the situation is, his master can recover quickly and even burst out with strong fighting spirit. He will never give up until the last moment.

"We need to hurry up on this matter."

Huang Taiji stood with his hands behind his back, looked at Fan Wencheng and said, "No matter what Daishan and the others do, there are several forces that cannot be underestimated. One is Ajige and the other is Dorgon. Daishan and the others don't take them seriously and think that they can do whatever they want just because they are great princes. This is simply too stupid."

"You can let that person know if it's appropriate. As long as that thing is accomplished, not to mention one Beile title, even two can be hereditary!"

"And Ben Beile can assure him that as long as Ben Beile wins in the end, Ben Beile will ask him to do what he wants in his heart."

Fan Wencheng's heart tightened, this promise was indeed very heavy.

"Master, if that's the case..."

Fan Wencheng thought of this and said with some worry. "Don't worry."

Huang Taiji waved his hand and interrupted, "Besides that man, there is also Dudu. Be straightforward with him and tell him that if he loses Khan Ama's support, does he really think he can hold the position of leader of the Bordered White Banner?"

"Show everything we found to Dudu. He's a smart man. The eldest brother of Ben Beile is too smart, so he did such a thing."

"If he could be more patient and not fall into the trap of others, the current situation would make it impossible for everyone else, not to mention this prince."

Fan Wencheng lowered his head and remained silent.

There are some things that Huang Taiji can say but he cannot.

"What on earth does this Ajige want to do?"

Huang Taiji suddenly frowned and muttered to himself, "Such a big thing happened in Shengjing, but he didn't rush back. Instead, he stayed in Korchin. I'm afraid this guy has other ideas."

"Master, we must be careful about this matter."

Fan Wencheng stepped forward and said, "According to the information I have found out, since the 12th Beile was sent to Korchin, he has been able to get in touch with some people secretly."

"Are you talking about Hong Guoer and the others?"

Huang Taiji thought of something and looked at Fan Wencheng.

"Yes."

Fan Wencheng nodded.

“That’s something to be wary of.”

Huang Taiji said thoughtfully: "Compared with the Nurgan area, Khorchin has too many variables. If Ajige really accomplishes something, it may be detrimental to the Eight Banners."

The end of the Jinshan Battle quietly broke the delicate relationship between the Eight Banners and Khorchin. It was also because of this that Nurhaci, after moving to Shengjing, was determined to encroach on the Khorchin tribes. However, the problem was that because of the presence of the Ming army and the reopening of the customs, it then affected the Inner Khalkha, Kharchin and other tribes, which made the Khorchin grassland very chaotic, and even most of the southern grasslands of the desert became chaotic.

The person in charge of all this was Xiong Tingbi, who was based in Shenyang.

"It's a pity that this prince is still unable to extricate himself from Nurgan." Huang Taiji clenched his hanging hands and spoke unkindly, "Mao Wenlong, Liu Xingzuo, and Li Yangeng are simply a bunch of lunatics, and the armed merchant groups driven by them have prevented our advantage in Nurgan from expanding."

When he said this, Huang Taiji felt angry in his heart.

If these people were not there, he might have conquered many tribes long ago, so that the power under his command could have been further expanded.

But the current situation is that the core group belonging to the Zhengbai Banner has indeed increased a lot, but the casualties at the bottom are too great. At present, he can go deep into other places in Nurgan to capture able-bodied men to replenish them, but if this cannot be done, then his power in Nurgan will be depleted.

“It’s hard to change this.”

Fan Wencheng sighed softly, "Especially since Sarhu City and Jiefan City were lost one after another, and the Ming army infiltrated in, Amin Beile was unable to help us block some of the offensives, this..."

When he said this, Fan Wencheng stopped because he saw Huang Taiji's ugly face. The area around Liaodong is now in chaos. You are in me and I am in you. The key is that this chaos has a great impact on the Eight Banners and other tribes, but it has no effect on the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, it has led to many changes in the Ming Dynasty. The most intuitive feeling is in Liaodong. It is precisely because of this that Huang Taiji wants to seize Liaodong more and more in his heart, but this thing is difficult to do, and the advantage of the initiative has been lost...
