After Mang Gurtai fled back to Shenyang, he knew that Huang Taiji would not be able to spare him when he returned. In order to protect himself, he planned a mutiny to seize Shenyang City, and then established himself as Khan, relying on Shenyang City to fight against Huang Taiji.
However, before Huang Taiji went on the expedition, he ordered Hauge to stay in Shenyang City. In addition to Hauge's own more than a thousand soldiers under the Zhenghuang Banner, Huang Taiji also allocated 500 of his own soldiers to fight. In addition to the troops left behind by each banner, the city Hauge can mobilize thousands of troops.
Four days ago, Jia La Erzhende Gut, who was wearing a yellow flag, rushed back with two thousand cavalry. As soon as they entered the city, they stationed themselves at the east gate, making it clear that they were monitoring Mang Gurtai.
As for Mang Gurtai, half of his men were deceived by Huang Taiji in Yizhou, and several Niulu were cut off during the "imperial offensive" in Daling River, so he only had two Niulu and more than three hundred men around him. The personal soldiers were arrogant, and their strength was only one-third of Hauge's. Moreover, the ministers and workers in Shenyang City did not buy into his account as a big Baylor. In addition, Huang Taiji had already established six departments before the army went out, and all the affairs of the country were now under control. The six ministries were responsible. Therefore, although all the ministers of the six ministries went out with the army, each ministry had officials in charge. These officials only followed Huang Taiji's orders, and most of them were Han officials, let alone support Mang Gurtai's seizure of power.
Mang Gurtai, who was unable to seize Shenyang City by his own strength, was at a loss. He could only stay in the house behind closed doors and listen to reports on Hauge's movements from his subordinates every day. The fast horses sent to Daling River also sent a batch of Another batch, when these fast horses brought back the news that the Ming army was defeated and that the Khan King was sending his troops back north, Mang Gurtai was even more frightened and afraid, and his days were like years.[
After thinking alone for a night, Mang Gurtai knew that he could not wait any longer. Daishan asked him in the letter to go and apologize to Huang Taiji, but he refused at first. Now that he thinks about it, he really made a mistake.
Alas, I blame myself for being obsessed with thinking that the late Emperor Taiji could make a difference by returning to Shenyang. How could he know that Hauge was not a big man but had many evil intentions, so he had been wary of him for a long time.
Due to a strange combination of circumstances, Mang Gurtai knew that it was impossible for him to reconcile with Huang Taiji. The only way he could do it was to fight even though the beast was trapped, otherwise he would just sit back and wait for death.
After making up his mind, he summoned his brother Degerei, sister Mangguji, confidants Turush, Bai Jia and others who had rushed back from Daling River into the house.
After everyone arrived, Mang Gurtai did not hide anything from them and said directly: "My days are short. Fat Fourth will be back in a few days. Once he comes back, he will definitely find me to punish him. Don't mention anything else. , even if I abandon him before the battle and ignore this, I will definitely not be able to save my head. What do you think I should do now?" After saying this, he was the first to look at his sister Mang Guji.
Mangguji was born to Manggurtai's mother, Gundai, and he looks exactly like his mother. The difference is that Gundai has willow-leaf eyebrows, while Mangguji has hanging eyes.
Although Mang Gurtai is a woman, she is very courageous and fierce, no less fierce than her brothers. Among the brothers, she is also the most devoted to Mang Gurtai and the closest to Mang Gurtai. Therefore, she listened to Mang Gurtai. After saying this, she knew that it was time to make a decision, otherwise it would be too late. She was so bold that she said to Mang Gurtai:
"Fifth brother, Fat Fourth is too domineering. Now his prestige is getting bigger and bigger in the hearts of the Chinese people. Even if my brother doesn't offend him this time, he will definitely find a reason to harm him. According to me, when he comes back The first thing he did was to operate on the fifth brother! So the fifth brother must not stay like this, we must fight with his fat fourth brother!"
Turush and Bai Wang were both shocked after hearing Mangguji's words, but they soon recovered. If Huang Taiji could not kill Mangguji because she was his sister, the two of them did not.
They will definitely be killed, because they and Mang Gurtai are already both prosperous and destructive, and there is no choice at all.
Mang Gurtai said in a deep voice: "My sister is right, Huang Taiji will definitely kill me, but now my brother has nothing to do." He really regretted it now. He had known that God would change the direction of the wind, and the Ming army would be serious.
A failed to capture Huang Taiji. He would not run away at all, leaving him with no way out. When a person reaches a dead end, his instinct is to give it a try. Whether it succeeds or not, he has no other choice.
"What do you mean there is no way at all? Brother Five, you are too cowardly. We are at this critical moment, and there must be a way even if there is no way! No matter what, we cannot just sit back and wait for death. Doesn't it mean that if we continue to stop, we will suffer chaos? You
A grown man shouldn't be too cowardly. He has to strike when it's time to strike. What are you afraid of? Hauge is a young boy. What's there to worry about? The Han people say that to capture the thief first, capture the king. As long as we act quickly, we can catch up with Germany before he can.
Gute killed Hauge before he came back to his senses. When the fifth brother ascends the throne as Big Baile, will Gute dare to take action?" Manggu Ji became ruthless, and even Mang Gurtai admired her. She
This statement already shows that if we kill Hauge before Huang Taiji comes back and take control of Shenyang City, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Degelei was beside him, but he was trembling with anger. The reason why he rushed back to Shenyang City was to persuade Mang Gurtai not to commit a crime before Huang Taiji returned. He didn't expect Mang Gurtai to come up with such a trick. He
He said angrily: "Sister, please stop fanning the flames. I don't want to light a spark, but if I ask you to fan it, it won't start a prairie fire. King Khan has taken back the five Niulu of the fifth brother from me."
Okay, after a while, we will find the second brother to clear things up, and maybe the fifth brother will be restored to his position as the great Baylor. Escaping from the battle is a big or small matter. As long as the fifth brother sincerely admits his mistake, King Khan can at most punish him.
I will kill Fifth Brother because of this. But if you make such a fuss, wouldn't it be a matter of death and death? I ask you, if you really want to do this, how will it end? Kill Hauge, Huang Taiji won't fight to the death with us!
"
After hearing what Degelei said, Mang Guji sneered: "Yo, yo, yo, what a Hubu Beile from the Kingdom of Jin, you are so loyal. You don't even care about your own brother? What a shame for you.
He's still our biological brother. I said you just turned your arms outwards, don't forget, we were born from the same mother-in-law!"
Degerei said angrily: "It is precisely because I am your biological brother that I advise you like this. Do you think it will be easy for me when the fifth brother is punished? Again, can we fight against Huang Taiji now? You are not doing well either.
Look, everyone in the Kingdom of Jin admires Huang Taiji very much. The second brother, his father and his son, the three brothers Azig, Dorgon, and Duduo, Tong Yangxing and his Han army flag, as well as the various Mongolian tribes, are not convinced
The whole world obeys his orders. If Brother Five actually did what you said, how many of his prodigies will admit it? When Huang Taiji comes to kill him, what can we do to stop him?"
"If you can't beat me, you have to beat me. Are you going to let me have my head chopped off by his fat old man!" Mang Gurtai became anxious when he saw that Degerei still didn't support him. He was now on pins and needles all the time.
, there was any disturbance outside, which made him very nervous.
Turush also advised: "Master Shibeile, if you tell me this, will we really watch our master be killed by his king?"
Degerei sighed and said to Mang Gurtai: "Fifth brother, I'm going to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Don't be angry. In your heart, you have never regarded Huang Taiji as Khan. You always think that you are a brother."
, he is the younger brother; you are the eldest, he is the younger, and you are in charge of the same banner, and you have merit in supporting Huang Taiji, so you don’t take Huang Taiji seriously. Sooner or later, this kind of mentality will cause trouble. Look at his second brother, that’s called
The true courtesy of a courtier. If you scold my brother a few times or hit him a few times, no one will say anything. But you are scolding the king of a country and insulting the great Khan. This crime is indeed not a light one.
King Khan only deprived you of the title of Great Beile, which is considered a light thing.
Those Han people privately said that if this happened in the Ming Dynasty, it would be a disaster for the whole family. That day, it was thanks to the second brother that he said something fair, otherwise, you would not have been imprisoned in the high wall. Let me tell you, fifth brother, you
Don't be stubborn. People are not saints. Who can live through it? If we make a mistake, we will correct it. We will be soft and we will be his ministers from now on. He will not dare to do anything to you. He still has to show off, he
It has to be shown to the Baylors, to the Han officials, and to the people of the Kingdom of Jin.
We have fulfilled our duties as courtiers. If he dares to do anything wrong again, we will be responsible. Then you see what your brother will say. We are in the wrong now, and we have to admit it, right? After a while, I came forward to talk to him.
The second brother said, please ask him to deal with it, maybe you can really restore your title of Big Baylor."[
Dege thought that this sincere advice would impress Mang Gurtai. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Mang Gurtai looked gloomy and suddenly burst into tears, "Father, my son is a coward. I heard it."
If you were old, you would have saved your eighth brother, but now he treats me like this. Father, please open your eyes and say something fair for your son. Father..."
Degerei and Mangguji were at a loss for a moment. Mangguji advised: "Brother, don't be like this, don't break your body from crying..."
Mang Gurtai cried for a while and said: "How do you know my brother's difficulties? Remember that when I followed my father Khan to conquer the world, conquered the east and west, and made countless military exploits, I have so many scars all over my body. Originally, my father Khan treated me badly.
I love you very much. After the incident between my second brother and my eldest concubine, my father Khan did not think of letting me inherit the throne. But this Huang Taiji was very scheming. He always hung around in front of my father Khan and said bad things about me when he found an opportunity.
He believed that E Niang had killed his E Niang with nightmare magic, so he sent people to keep an eye on E Niang and instigated his father to search E Niang's home. He did not miss any opportunity to express himself in front of his father.
I was deceived by him and insisted on letting him inherit the throne. I had no idea at the time, so I was deceived by his apparent respect. If I persisted in disagreeing, I might not know whose throne it was.
Now he is killing the donkey and starting to deal with us one by one. Speaking of which, the first person he dealt with was the second brother. After the death of the eldest brother, it was obvious that the position of Khan belonged to the second brother, but Huang Taiji used De Yinze to combine the second brother and the second brother.
When the concubine's affair came out, the second brother was thrown into the eighteenth level of hell. Let's talk about Amin, who goes out to lead troops to fight without plundering? He doesn't confine others when they plunder, but Brother Amin robs him.
He was imprisoned behind a high wall.
I think he is Zhu Yuanzhang, and he must wipe out all of us heroes and generals one by one. Dege, stop dreaming, do you still expect him to restore me to the title of Big Baylor? I'll leave it at that.
As soon as he comes back, your brother and I will definitely not be able to save our heads!"
Mang Guji suddenly gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Fifth brother, we know we can't defeat him, so we'll do it secretly."
Mang Gurtai was startled: "What kind of secret method?"
Mang Guji said: "His Majesty Taiji is unkind, and we are unjust. Didn't he say that our mother-in-law used nightmare magic to kill Meng Gu? We can't bear the blame for nothing, and we will give him a real punishment this time.
.Leng Sengji used to be a shaman, and his magic is very powerful, which is called Leng Sengji’s method, Nightmare Huang Taiji.”
"Will that thing work?" Mang Gurtai was stunned.
Mang Guji said with certainty: "It works, it's very effective."
"What can Leng Sengji do?" Mang Gurtai hesitated.
Mang Guji said: "If there is anything he can't do, let's just give him more benefits. After the thing is done, we will make him the great shaman of the Kingdom of Jin!"
"If it's really effective, I wouldn't mind giving it a try. But you have to hurry up, the fat old man will be back soon." Mang Gurtai treated a dead horse as a living doctor, and he really rushed to the doctor in a hurry.
Dege's scalp was furious when he heard this, and he said angrily to Mang Guji: "Sister, this is absolutely impossible. If the matter is exposed, we will all become Chu Ying's second best."
Mang Guji glared at him: "What's the point of exposure? Unless you betray us."
Dege's face turned pale with anger: "Sister, why do you talk like that?"
Mang Gurtai hurriedly said: "Tenth brother, don't be angry. I mean we are doing it secretly and no one will know. Besides, this matter is left to me alone. Even if it is exposed in the future, it will have nothing to do with you."
"Father Khan once said that if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. As time goes by, there will be someone who doesn't reveal the truth." Derge's head shook like a rattle.
Mang Guji said: "I also heard my father Khan say that benevolence does not lead troops, justice does not engage in business, and do big things. Don't be afraid of this or that. If the matter is exposed, you will die."
Seeing that they were determined to do it, Degerei sighed secretly in his heart and said: "If you really decide, I can't say anything. But this matter is about life and death, so you must be careful when doing it."
Seeing that Dege Lei acquiesced, Mang Guji was overjoyed: "Don't worry, there won't be any trouble. In just a few days, I will tell the fat old man to return to the west!" [
Bai Wang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "What if this method doesn't work? King Khan will be back soon!"
"This..." Mang Gurtai was stunned and ran out of ideas: Yes, if this method doesn't work and Huang Taiji returns to Shenyang alive, wouldn't he still be dead?
Seeing that his master was panicking, Turush hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward resolutely and said: "Master, I have a way out, I don't know whether to say it or not."
"When is it? You should tell me quickly!" Mang Gurtai said anxiously.
Turush said: "I heard that after King Khan defeated the Ming army, he once attacked Jinzhou, but failed to capture it. Instead, he lost thousands of soldiers. From this point of view, the Ming Dynasty seems to be very strong and not unbearable."
One blow. If it is really necessary, in order to survive, the master may be able to..." At this point, he paused, then gritted his teeth and said: "The master may be able to defect to the Ming Dynasty."
"Survey?!"
Mang Gurtai and Derge were both shocked.
"I am the Great Belle of the Great Jin Kingdom. The Ming Kingdom hates me to the core. If I turn to the Ming Dynasty, they will cut me into pieces." Mang Gurtai shook his head subconsciously. The blood of the Ming people on his hands was real.
There are too many. If you turn yourself in, wouldn’t you be throwing yourself into a trap?!
Turush disagreed and said: "It is precisely because the master is the Great Belle of the Great Jin Kingdom that the Ming Kingdom will not kill the master! According to the slave, if the master returns to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Kingdom will definitely regard the master as a treasure, and not only will he not kill
Master, I will also give you high-ranking officials and noble titles, and you won’t even know that I will also give you the official position of Master Old Khan, the Governor of Jianzhou Guard.”
"Captain of Jianzhou Guards?" Mang Gurtai was startled again. This official position was the one his ancestors of the Aixinjueluo family had always held.
"No, no, brother, you must not betray me!"
The more you talk, the more nonsense you are getting. You are a hero if you really want to rebel, but what's the point of turning the tables! Dege was anxious, "We are the descendants of Aisin Gioro. If my brother turned the tables, wouldn't he be successful?"
I killed the unworthy descendants of the Aixinjueluo family? What do you think of the Xianhan’s knowledge underground?"
"Master Shibeile, with the knife on your neck, do we have any choice? If we don't surrender, where will our master escape? North Korea? Mongolia? Or go deep into the mountains and forests?" Bai Wang didn't care who Mang Gurtai would end up if he surrendered.
What would happen, he only knew that even if the Ming Kingdom would kill Mang Gurtai, it would definitely not kill him and Turush, because the Ming Kingdom needed people who knew the details of Da Jin.
Dege was furious, "You little slave, you are trying to accuse your master of being unkind, unfaithful and unfilial!"
Turush was not afraid, but asked Derge: "An ant still knows how to cherish its life. It is a coward to sit back and wait for death and stick out its head to be killed by others. I persuade the master to surrender, but it is not to harm the master. Lord Shibeile, you want to
I want to see, apart from surrendering, what other step can the master take?"
"you!…"
Derige was so angry that he stretched out his hand and wanted to kill Turrush, the dog slave. Unexpectedly, a sigh from Mang Gurtai came to his ears, "If it is really necessary, this divination is not the way to go."
"elder brother!…"
Dege was shocked.
…………
When Gurtai was conspiring in the city of Shenyang, there was a group of soldiers walking on the official road leading to Shanhaiguan. There were about a thousand people. The person holding the flag was a young primary school student. The flag had a big word "Shi".
.
At the front were two hundred cavalry, in the middle were more than a hundred carts, and at the end were five hundred infantry.
I don’t know what was loaded on those carts, and the wheels were deeply indented. The horsemen driving the carts were all soldiers. They were not tired from the journey at all. They sat excitedly on the carts and swung their whips, and the crisp sound of the whips undulated with each other.
Very pleasant to the ear.
Amid the sweet sound of the horse whip, there were faint screams.
The screams came from behind the carriage and in front of the infantry.
Four long human chains were dragged behind the four war horses. More than a hundred golden soldiers in ragged clothes and with a small braid hanging from their heads followed the horses in exhaustion and walked slowly forward. There was a slight hesitation in their movements.
, he was immediately hit hard with a spear by the Ming soldiers who were watching him.
What is surprising is that it is not ropes that connect the golden soldiers, but thin iron chains one after another.
What is annoying is that those thin iron chains are not tied to the golden soldiers, nor are they put around their necks, but pass through their noses and mouths, and then pass through to another golden soldier.
This scene is very familiar. The thin iron chains are very similar to the ropes threaded on the cow's nose. It's just that one is threaded through the cow and the other is threaded through the human.
The Ming army called these captives of the Jin soldiers "herdsmen".
