Three hundred and ninetieth IX Mang Gurtai vote Mingzhong
Daishan Mansion was brightly lit, and a group of Eight Banners princes and generals were sitting together. From time to time, officials came in and out holding official documents with solemn expressions.
As the left-behind Dabeile in Shenyang City, with Hong Tai leading his troops outside, Daishan had to decide all the big and small government affairs of the Jin Kingdom. The house was crowded with people during the day, mostly officials from the Sixth Ministry, and the same could not be done at night. It was quiet, but most of the people who came were Manchu and Mongolian officials.
Among the princes and generals in the hall were Lao Dutang Adun, Ehuang Yangguli, Beile Dudu, Minister Chuoerji, Misai, Daishan's Mongolian relative Mangguoer, Zhenghongqi Jia La Ezhen Yilin Qin, Soni, the minister of the Zhenghuang Banner, Zhentalai of the Zhenghong Banner, and Daishan's two sons - the fourth son, Wakda, and the fifth son, Barama.
Compared with his eldest son Yue Tuo and his second son Shuo Tuo, Daishan was very fond of Wakda and Balama, because they, like Saharian, were born to the Yehenala family of Fujin, and Yue Tuo and Shuotuo was born to Daishan’s ex-wife Li Jia.
When Li Jia died, Daishan remarried Yehenala. As Yehe gave birth to the Sahalian sons for him, Daishan's heart changed. Under the influence of Ye He's pillow, , turned out to be dissatisfied with Yue Tuo and Shuo Tuo, the children of his ex-wife.
In March and April of the fifth year of Tianming, Hou Jin was preparing to move from Jiefan City to Sarhu City. Nurhachi inspected and designated the homesteads for each Beile to build a mansion. Daishan saw that the homestead built by his eldest son Yuetuo was better than his own, so he He asked Mang Gurtai and Amin to petition him one after another, saying that they lived in a small place and wanted to occupy Yue Tuo's homestead.
In addition to trying to occupy the eldest son's homestead, Daishan also abused Yue Tuo and Shuo Tuo, beating and scolding him. Because he could not endure Daishan's abuse, Shuo Tuo suddenly disappeared. Some people said that he defected to the Ming Dynasty. It has not yet been determined. When it came to whether Shuotuo was defecting, Daishan insisted that Shuotuo had the intention to defect. After finding Shuotuo and he made it clear that he had not defected, Daishan still knelt down to Nurhaci five or six times and asked to kill Shuotuo. Daishan The request was rejected, and Nurhaci released Shuotuo.
Because Daishan wanted to kill his own son, his grandfather Nurhachi began to investigate the treatment of Daishan's sons from his two ex-wives, and found that the assets owned by Daishan's sons Yuetuo and Shuotuo were worse than those of his other half-brothers. Therefore, Nurhaci angrily scolded Daishan and said, "You are also the son of your ex-wife. Why don't you think that I am closer to you? How could you be deceived by your second wife into abusing your grown-up son? What's more, I have always treated you well." You are in charge of your subordinates, so why can't you give good subordinates to Yue Tuo and Shuo Tuo like me?
After scolding him, Nurhachi ordered Yue Tuo, Shuo Tuo and Dai Shan to separate their families, and publicly announced that Dai Shan would be deposed as the crown prince. After Dai Shan was deposed, he personally killed Dai Shan on September 28, the fifth year of Tianming. He abandoned his step-wife to apologize to the Khan's father. Nurhaci asked him to swear an oath with his brothers that if he ever holds grudges against the Baylors and ministers in the future, he would be willing to be punished by heaven and earth. Nurhaci tolerated Daishan. Although Daishan was deposed as the crown prince, he still had to serve as the king. The first of the four Baylors, he participates in governing the country.[
At this time, it had been more than ten years since the Yehenala family was killed. Over the past ten years, Daishan had learned a lesson, changed his attitude towards his eldest son Yuetuo and his second son Shuotuo, and made up for the relationship between father and son, but in his heart, Daishan He still prefers the sons born to Ye He. He always takes Wakda and the others with him and cultivates them deliberately. Whether it is government affairs or military affairs, Daishan always involves them so that they can gradually grow up. He became his right-hand man. Yue Tuo and Shuo Da had already separated from him, and now they are all on their own. Although the relationship between father and son has eased, they are not as kind as father and respectful to son. There is still a layer of estrangement between father and son.
Although Wakda and Balama are still teenagers, there are too many young heroes in Dajin, and Duoyi, who leads the single banner, is only a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old. Compared with this uncle, Wakda
Keda and the others are still far behind, so everyone still treats these two young men with tolerance and joy when they participate in military and state affairs. Wakda and Barama also live up to the high expectations of charity.
, Occasionally speaking a few words of opinion surprised Daishan, making Daishan wonder whether they should be allowed to take their own role in the flag.
At this time, they were discussing the appearance of Ming army cavalry outside Liaoyang City. Ezhentarai was not worried about the Ming army's ability to break through Liaoyang. He said: "The number of Ming army cavalry appearing outside Liaoyang City was not large. I thought it might be
The Ming army came to investigate the sentry cavalry, but they should ignore it and just strengthen the defense of Liaoyang City. As long as there is no "chaos" in the city, the Ming army cannot capture it no matter how many cavalry they have. The problem now is this Ming army
Which Ming army is it and why did it suddenly appear in southern Liaoning?"
"The Ming army used sea ships to land from Jinzhou, and there were definitely not many cavalry. The so-called thousands of cavalry is probably an exaggeration. I thought that two thousand cavalry would be enough. In the past, when we fought with the Ming army, the other side's cavalry
There were not many in the first place. When ancestor Dashou was alive, the Ming army had thousands of fine cavalry. However, in the battle of Daling River, the ancestors were basically destroyed. Now Ning Jin can still make up some cavalry, but the appearance in Anshan
The Ming army of Ning Jin cannot be the Ming army of Ning Jin." The person who took over the conversation was Zhenghong Banner Jia La E Zhen Yi Lin Qin. This is a veteran, even a few years older than Dai Shan. He has followed Nurhachi since he started his army.
This also made Daishan respect and value him very much.
Daishan turned to his nephew Du Du: "What's the news about Guangning and Yizhou?"
Du Du shook his head and said: "The Jinzhou Ming Army has no signs of dispatching."
"It's not the Ming army in Jinzhou. Then which part of the Ming army in Liaonan is it? It's from Dongjiang?" Dai Shan had a headache. He had sent many people to investigate for several days, but he still didn't know.
He was very worried about where the Ming army that appeared in Anshan came from.
Yi Lintai shook his head decisively and said: "Dongjiang has been in a state of being the leader of the pack since Mao Wenlong's death. Ming generals are constantly fighting among themselves and have no time to take care of themselves. How can they dare to land? Besides, Dongjiang doesn't have so many cavalry."
Tarai thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Master, I heard that King Khan sent Ning Wan and me to contact Kong Youde in Dengzhou. Could it be that this Ming army is Kong Youde's Dengzhou army?"
Sony on the other side said disapprovingly: "Kong Youde was beaten like a lost dog by the Ming army. He has to thank God for our Daikin to take him in. How could he attack our Daikin in turn? Does he think he can do it with his defeated troops?"
Is it possible to establish a foothold in Liaonan?"
The prince-in-law Yang Guli also said: "Wu Qitai reported that the invading Ming army numbered tens of thousands and brought hundreds of cannons. If Kong Youde had this strength, he would not have to abandon Dengzhou and go to sea."
After hearing this, everyone nodded. They didn't know much about Kong Youde's coming to surrender, but they thought that Kong Youde was just a traitorous general from the Ming Dynasty. Now that he was taken from his home and sent to the sea to surrender, how much strength could he have? He really had to have strength.
If so, I'm afraid it's Mingguo who should have a headache.
Wakda suddenly said: "This Ming army cannot be Kong Youde's Dengzhou army. According to me, it is nine out of ten that Kong Youde has been defeated. Judging from the time, it may be that the Ming army found out that Kong Youde wanted to join us."
information, take advantage of the situation to land in Jinzhou and catch us off guard?" He was not too sure of his judgment and looked at Amma inquiringly.
Daishan pondered for a moment and hesitated: "Which general in the Ming Dynasty has such courage? Sun Chengzong? I heard that this old man has gone to the countryside and returned to his hometown. If it's not Sun Chengzong, who could it be? Tens of thousands of people sea The ship landed and swept our Jin, Gai, Fu, and Anshu prefectures. The forwards were approaching Liaoyang, and they were eyeing Shenyang. This was really a big deal. Benbeile had been dealing with the Ming Dynasty for so many years, and he had never seen anything like this. What a big move. Even when Xianhan was there, Yang Hao, sent by the Ming Dynasty, led hundreds of thousands of troops to launch an expedition to Saarhu, but it was too late. They were beaten and fled in embarrassment, but this Ming general had some brains and a very accurate vision. He knew that our strength in southern Liaoning was weak, but he managed to create such a large formation in one go. It was amazing, it was amazing. How big was the Ming Dynasty? People come out in large numbers.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Talai said: "Master, there is no need to say that. According to my servant, this Ming general is lucky. If King Khan did not lead an army on an expedition, even if he came with another hundred thousand people, it would only be enough for us to drink." Of the pot.”[
Balama agreed: "Yes, Talai is right, the Ming army is just a bunch of pigs and sheep, and the Ming general is also a villain who only picks up our loopholes. He is not a real sword or a real gun. If he is upright and fair, he can deal with us." With his posture, our Eight Banners can chop him into pieces. We didn’t expect them to come from the sea, so we were attacked by them."
Adun was the oldest person here, and his energy was a bit behind him. Hearing this, he interjected, "There is something very strange."
Daishan asked: "What's the matter?"
Adun said: "Then how did General Ming know that our defenses in southern Liaoning were empty, and how did he know that our Eight Banners army was on an expedition to Mongolia?"
Wakda curled his lips and said, "The news is probably leaked. Who knows if there are any spies from the Ming Dynasty among those Han people."
"Perhaps so. King Khan has paid more and more attention to those Han people in recent years. It is easy for the Ming people to plant a few spies among them." At this point, Adun sighed, not sure why. It’s not that he was dissatisfied with Hong Tai’s policy of attaching great importance to the Han people.
Daishan didn't want to say anything about the Han people's affairs, so he said: "The matter is now over. It is not a matter of tracking down the spies. The top priority is to ensure that Liaoyang is not lost. Once Liaoyang is lost, Shenyang will lose its barrier." , if the Ming army comes to the city, the consequences will be disastrous."
Yi Lintai said: "There are 800 flag soldiers from Ai Gu in Liaoyang. If we recruit some flag soldiers and recruit some Aha soldiers, we can make up two to three thousand people. Then ask Sony to bring people to reinforce. It is already cold now. As soon as the snowflakes fall, even if the Ming army has 100,000 troops, they can only stare at Liaoyang City. As long as there is half a month, we can dispatch troops and horses from Guangning and Yizhou to reinforce Liaoyang. If the Ming army retreats, that's it. , If we don’t retreat, we will hold them back, and as soon as King Khan’s army arrives, they will not be able to escape even if they have wings.”
Yang Guli was not so optimistic. He worried: "Wu Qitai's army has brought hundreds of cannons. If we attack the city, I'm afraid Liaoyang won't be able to defend it."
Yi Lintai smiled and said: "Then the Ming army must have the ability to pull the cannon to the bottom of Liaocheng City."
It was freezing cold, and no one except a fool could pull hundreds of cannons two hundred miles away. Yanguli smiled and said nothing.
Du Du asked: "Sony takes people to Liaoyang, what about Shenyang?"
Daishan told Ta Lai: "Pass my order and ask each Baylor Mansion to recruit people. Give me 5,000 people within three days!"
Each Baylor Mansion has a lot of people left, and they can always be gathered together. With 5,000 people, they are not afraid of the Ming army attacking.
Talai responded loudly, and Daishan was also a little tired. After days of discussions, his energy could not keep up. "That's it for today. Tomorrow Sony will lead troops to Liaoyang. The Ministry of War issued a notice to mobilize troops from Guangning and Yizhou." .It’s all gone.”
"twitter!"
Everyone stood up, bowed and left one after another. Daishan was about to say a few words to Wakda and Bamara when he saw the butler coming in and announcing: "Master, Leng Sengji is here to see you."
"Leng Sengji? Which Leng Sengji?" Daishan was stunned for a moment, wondering who this person was.
The housekeeper said: "A servant of Princess Hada's house."
"What's a slave doing here to see Ben Beile?" Daishan couldn't help being furious, "No!"
The butler said: "Master, Leng Sengji said he came to see you about something important about Sanbeile."
Sanbeile was Mang Gurtai. Daishan's heart sank. A servant came to see him late at night. Fearing that it was not a good thing, he hesitated and ordered: "Ask him to come in."
