Chapter 429 Huang Taiji is furious

Historically, although Huang Taiji was ill, he was not unable to handle military and political affairs at first. However, he died suddenly in the harem of Shengjing in October of the eighth year of Chongde (1643), so that even the successor could not be decided. Down.

This led to the stalemate between Dorgon and Hao Ge in the fight for the throne, and then the two sides compromised and the eight-year-old Fulin ascended the throne.

At this time and space, perhaps he fell ill ten months earlier due to his failure to enter the customs. Although Huang Taiji was bedridden and unable to get up, he was not completely unable to manage.

However, after Huang Taiji regained consciousness, he still did not announce the candidate for the crown prince. Instead, he repeatedly summoned some Eight Banners generals who had experienced the two battles of Sangyuan Town and Deshengdian to inquire about the specific process of these two defeats and the situation of the Yi army.

On this day, Bolo, who was lucky enough to escape from the two major defeats in Sangyuan Town and Deshengdian, was summoned to Huang Taiji's palace again.

After saluting, Bolo looked up and saw that a curtain was drawn in front of him, and Huang Taiji's bed could not be seen at all.

"Then the Yi army really has more than 10,000 people and is equipped with dozens of Hongyi cannons?" Huang Taiji's slightly hoarse voice came from behind the curtain, and his breath was obviously weaker than ordinary people.

Although Bolo had answered this question more than once, he did not dare to neglect it at this time and said hurriedly: "Reporting to the emperor, it is indeed the case.

At first, Amma and I thought that the more than 10,000 people we met in Sangyuan Town were the elite of the Yi army, or even Liu Sheng's personal troops, so they could be equipped with so many Hongyi cannons.

He tried hard to use his brain to sort out the news about the Eijun that he had received from various sources in the past few days. He had to admit that even though he had thought highly of the Eijun before, he still underestimated it.

Whether he wanted to admit it or not, his dream of leading the Qing Dynasty into the Pass was indeed shattered by the existence of the Wei army.

There is a saying among the Han people: How can one allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed?

Huang Taiji, who is familiar with Han history books, can predict that even if the Qing Dynasty never steps into the pass, Da'ei will probably not tolerate the Qing Dynasty continuing to occupy the Liao land and command the Mongolian tribes in Monan.

In the future, when facing the Yi army, it may be difficult to achieve the same momentum and results as when facing the Ming army.

Even so, the Qing Dynasty's invasion of the Pass still resulted in losses of between 4,000 and 5,000 Eight Banners Manchu soldiers, and the Eight Banners Han Army and the Eight Banners Mongolians suffered tens of thousands losses.

But later, after the battle of Deshengdian, we discovered that both the more than 10,000 Yi troops that induced our army to besiege and the two Yi armies that encircled our army later had dozens of Hongyi cannons.

What's more serious is that these two defeats broke the myth of the Qing Dynasty's undefeated history for many years, and caused a big blow to the morale and morale of the Qing army.

Moreover, the cannons used by the Yi army were said to be Hongyi cannons, but the shells fired by them were more powerful and had a longer range, and the Yi army fired more accurately and faster.

Now it seems that the fighting power of the Yi army is far superior to that of the Qing army.

Otherwise, there would not have been two major defeats in Sangyuan Town and Deshengdian - he knew very well that in these two major defeats, if it had not been in the severe winter and Fang had deployed more horses, there would have been a possibility of the entire army being annihilated.

So, what is the future path for the Qing Dynasty?

After him, who could allow the Qing Dynasty to survive the attack of the Yi army?

Huang Taiji was thinking about these questions. When he came back to his senses, he found that Bolo had been kneeling outside for a long time. He immediately said: "Bolo, please step back. Call Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou over."

Behind the curtain.

Therefore, what the Qing Dynasty has to face now is not only the problem of not being able to enter the customs, but also the problem of survival.

Moreover, as a new Han dynasty, Da'ei's military strength will probably not decrease in decades, and may even continue to increase.

Huang Taiji, who was lying on the bed, frowned when he heard this, and his sickly face became even more ugly.

The most important thing is that the Yijun cannon seems to be far lighter than the Hongyi cannon with similar power. Basically, a horse can pull the artillery cart and even turn it flexibly. "

He originally thought that the Yi army could continuously defeat the Ming army and the Shun army in the pass, and its combat power would be equivalent to that of the Qing army at most.

After the eunuch responded, Bolo was taken away, and soon Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou were taken outside Huang Taiji's palace.

Previously, the Eight Banners Army only had a total of 1,340,000 people. This time, more than 15,000 people were lost. Although it was not a serious injury, it also significantly damaged the strength of the Eight Banners Army.

"twitter."

Immediately, it was Hong Chengchou who was summoned first.

Fan Wencheng looked as usual when he saw this.

Because he knew very well that in the current situation of the Qing Dynasty, he and Hong Chengchou were summoned at the same time. Which one Huang Taiji saw later showed that he paid more attention to that person. Moreover, he had met and interacted with Huang Taiji during the Nurhaci period, and was trusted by him. After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he was even promoted as his right-hand man, became a bachelor of the Internal Secretariat, and was awarded the second-class rank of La Zhangjing. .

And what about Hong Chengchou? Now he is still just a slave under Zhenghuang's banner, without even a formal position.

Huang Taiji's intention to be wary of him can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

Under such circumstances, how could he worry about Hong Chengchou competing for favor?

Moreover, Huang Taiji is critically ill, the political situation of the Qing Dynasty is treacherous, and it is not yet known who will succeed him. Moreover, it is probably a foregone conclusion that the great generals in the Guan Dynasty will replace the Ming Dynasty. The future of the Qing Dynasty will not be as good as before.

Therefore, even if Huang Taiji believed in Hong Chengchou more than him at this time, it was not that important.

In the bedroom.

Due to physical reasons, Huang Taiji asked Hong Chengchou directly after he knelt down and said, "Now the Ming Dynasty is afraid that the Ming Dynasty will replace the Ming Dynasty and occupy the Central Plains. How does Mr. Hong think the Qing Dynasty should respond to such a situation?"

Hong Chengchou pondered for a moment.

To be honest, the Qing army suffered two consecutive defeats after entering the customs, which was really beyond his expectation.

In his view, the Qing army was already the strongest in the world, with a large number of troops entering the Pass, and the weather in winter was also favorable to the Qing army.

The Yi army started in the south. Although they had defeated the Ming army and the Shun army in succession before, they had never fought against the Qing army. Logically speaking, it would be good to draw a tie with the Qing army in Hebei. However, they defeated the Qing army twice in a row. It’s really hard to understand.

But it did happen, and it was useless if he couldn't understand it.

In the past few days, he had also thought about the future of the world, and vaguely regretted his original choice to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

At the same time, I also thought about the future of the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, in order to deal with Huang Taiji's problem, he selectively said what he was thinking.

"If nothing happens to Liu Sheng, Damei will indeed replace the Ming Dynasty and occupy the Central Plains. But even the emerging Han Dynasty may not be able to compete with the Qing Dynasty."

Even though they were surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou didn't mind becoming a talkative person, even a flatterer. Huang Taiji was critically ill at this time, so he naturally tried his best to say something nice.

"For example, the Zhao and Song Dynasties ended the wars of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and as a result, Zhao Da died early, and Zhao Er's several Northern Expeditions were ineffective, but instead he lost his troops and generals.

When his son Song Zhenzong succeeded to the throne, he was forced to form the "Tan Yuan Alliance" with the Liao State and pay tribute to the Liao State every year in order to seek peace.

Later, the Wanyan Jin Kingdom rose up and even conquered Kaifeng in one fell swoop, kidnapped the two emperors Zhao and Song, and forced Zhao and Song to settle in the south of the Yangtze River..."

Before Hong Chengchou finished speaking, Huang Taiji showed a displeased look and interrupted him, "Mr. Hong, do you think I haven't read the history books of the Han people? Why do you need to tell the story of Zhao and Song again? I just want to know the current situation in the world. How should I, the Qing Dynasty, respond!"

After becoming critically ill, Huang Taiji's temper was obviously not as good as before, he became irritable and more dangerous.

Hong Chengchou was now very afraid of death and did not dare to fool around anymore, so he simply went straight to the real thing.

"The slave tells the story of Zhao and Song, but what he actually wants to say is that if our Qing Dynasty cannot enter the pass and compete for the throne, it is best to imitate the Liao Kingdom and occupy the grasslands, Liao land and even Korea. In this way, it can be regarded as a great northern country. It is to imitate the Liao Kingdom and call itself Chinese orthodoxy is also acceptable.”

Huang Taiji frowned, thought for a while and said: "Today is different from the past. The Yi army is dominated by guns and cannons, and cannot be defeated by cavalry. When it stabilizes the Central Plains, it will inevitably invade Monan and Liao. I, the Qing Dynasty, want to own Liao. It’s very difficult given the power of the country.”

Hong Chengchou didn't expect that Huang Taiji was critically ill and his mind was still so clear, so he found it difficult to deal with it.

After thinking hard for a while, he said: "As Your Majesty said, today is indeed different from the past. The bitter cold in Liao and the grasslands is probably not comparable to that in the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

Our Qing Dynasty rises here. If the Yi army really dares to march outside the pass, our Qing Dynasty has the right time and location, and it can resist foreign enemies. If there are people to fight against, why worry about not being able to win? "

Hearing this, Huang Taiji suddenly showed an angry look, his face turned sickly red, and shouted: "You still dare to fool me? Is it cold in the north in summer? Come here, kick this unfed slave out!"

Huang Taiji was really angry, and Corporal Li Xian was unwilling to pretend.
