On June 21, the fourth year of Chongzhen, Hou Jin Tiancong Khan and Emperor Taiji personally led the Zhenghuang and Xianghuang banners and five thousand Han troops out of Shenyang to Guangning. After three days of stationing at the Xinliao River, on June 27, Khan tent to Yizhou.
On the same day, Dabeile Daishan led the three banners of red, white and bordered white and met with the Mongolian tribes at the old Liao River. They camped ten miles away. With their flags fluttering, tribes from all over the world came to surrender. On the 28th, Daishan's 40,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalrymen They made a sound in the east and struck in the west, then turned and suddenly went south, with the front pointed directly in the direction of Jinzhou.
When the Khan's tent arrived in Yizhou, Sanbeile Mang Gurtai and his compatriots Ten Beilede Leige and Twelve Beile Azige went out of the city for ten miles and knelt down to meet Tiancong Khan.
At this point, the Hou Jin army gathered in the small Yizhou, with 56,000 soldiers under the five banners of Zhengyang, Xianghuang, Zhenglan, Xianghong and Xianglan, and countless Han slaves.
As soon as they entered Yizhou City, Huang Taiji did not take any rest, so he immediately ordered the army to hold a meeting. All the generals and commanders above Niuluo from all banners were required to attend the meeting, and they followed the sweat tent to the Han officials and other tents for inquiries.
The accompanying Zhubeile were puzzled by the fact that King Khan had asked for a military meeting when he arrived at Yizhou. However, King Khan had an order, and no one dared to ask why, so they honestly attended the military meeting.
…………
"I have obeyed the order of the King of Khan to investigate the situation of Dalinghe City. There are 15,000 Liaodong soldiers in the city, 12,000 civilians who built the city, and 8,000 Han people. There are many Han people in Jinzhou City. When the situation was empty, the manager Sun Chengzong newly transferred Song Wei, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, Wu Xiang, the commander-in-chief of Ningyuan, and other 6,000 troops to garrison. Governor Qiu Hejia had taken over with Erbeile in Yongping two years ago. This man was promoted in the first year of Chongzhen... "
Mang Gurtai was talking endlessly about the intelligence about the Ming army that he had found out, but Huang Taiji suddenly raised his hand to stop him, and then asked: "I asked Tu Lai to lead Yi Niu Lu Sui San I came to Yizhou with you, but I don’t know where this slave is now, why didn’t I see him come to the military meeting?”
Mang Gurtai was about to say that the slave was tied up in the camp, but his compatriot Ten Beile Dege was the first to report: "Back to the King of Khan, I want to blame that slave for disobeying the King of Khan's military orders and leading troops to fight with the Ming army without authorization. My younger brother has already tied someone up and detained him in the camp. Because he belongs to the King of Khan, my younger brother and my third brother dare not deal with him without authorization. Since the King of Khan is here, my younger brother will hand over the slave to the King of Khan for punishment." After saying that, he pretended to glance at Mang Gurtai casually.
"Did you violate military orders?"
Regarding Tu Lai, Huang Taiji had already received a secret report from Azige, but now he was pretending to be confused and asked Mang Gurtai: "Third brother, since you are a slave and violated military orders, how come you didn't mention it in the military report?"
"I thought that King Khan was coming anyway, so I didn't report it." Mang Gurtai answered very sincerely. The reason he didn't report to Shenyang was that Huang Taiji was coming. Since he was coming anyway, why bother?
His answer made Dege Lei beside him change his face: What, Mang Gurtai didn't report to Shenyang! Is he confused?
Azig's expression on the side did not change, and he stood with his eyes and nose, nose and heart, but Jierharang's heart trembled, and he looked at Manggurtai Dudu, Yuetuo, and Tabai with deep meaning. The little Belles who were waiting for the sweat tent didn't think much, and stood there respectfully looking at Huang Taiji one by one.
There were dozens of Jia La E Zhen and Niu Lu E Zhen from each banner in the tent, as well as a group of Han surrendered generals. The idle Han officials stood behind. At the moment, the Khan King and San Beile were exchanging words, and no one dared to interrupt.
What do you mean, this Khan is coming anyway, so there is no need to report it!
Huang Taiji was secretly resentful. Mang Gurtai looked down on him more and more. When beating a dog, it depends on the owner. Tu Lai is my slave. Even if he violated the military order, just take away his position first.
Why did you have to be kidnapped in public? This is obviously because you don’t want to save any face for me. When I came, did I tell you that this awesome Tu Lai was under your control! Humph, my third brother must also be like Amin.
Can't you fight against me?
He was dissatisfied, his face remained calm, and he moved his fat buttocks slightly to make himself sit more comfortably.
He opened his mouth and said: "Third brother, ask someone to bring that slave over. I want to interrogate him."
"twitter!"
Mang Gurtai didn't say anything, but turned to give a few instructions to a Jia La under his banner, who hurriedly left the tent to collect the money.
………[
Not long after, Tulai, who was tied up with five flowers, was put into the tent. As soon as he saw the posture in the tent, Tulai knew that the Khan King had arrived.
With a sad look on his face, he fell to his knees with a "plop", crept forward a few steps, and wailed: "King Khan, King Khan, this slave has been wronged, this slave has been wronged!"
Seeing Tu Lai's appearance, Huang Taiji became furious. He slapped the table in front of him, his fat face became angry, and shouted: "You slave, how can you scream unjustly!"
"minions"
Tu Lai was going to say that Mang Gurtai was good at tying him up and forcing him to withdraw his troops, so that he could not win even if he should win. But when he looked up, he saw Huang Taiji looking at him with an angry face. He couldn't help but shuddered and was so frightened that he could only murmur in a low voice.
Two sentences about "slave", but nothing came out.
"Do you know what crime you have committed, this slave!" Huang Taiji snorted slightly, his sharp eyes not only falling on Tu Lai's face, but also on those Baylors.
Seeing the extremely cold face of King Khan, Tu Lai was even more frightened and did not dare to cry out for injustice. Instead, he kowtowed several times and said repeatedly: "I know my crime, I know my crime!..."
King Khan didn't want to ask him, but he asked him: "Since you know the crime, then I ask you, do you know what crime you committed?"
"What this slave did was..."
This question stumped Tulai. He didn't know whether he should say that he was guilty of disobeying the Khan's order and engaging in battle with the Ming army without authorization, or whether he should be guilty of saying that he failed to win when he should have won, sacrificing troops and defeating generals.
If it's the former, his crime is real, but he can be forgiven by winning the battle; if it's the latter, the crime is not on him, but on Mang Gurtai. If Sanbeile hadn't forced him to withdraw his troops,
Why did he fail to win despite being expected to win? He lost the lives of two hundred warriors, Xianghuang and Xianghong, for nothing.
Just when Tu Lai was thinking about what to say to clear up all his faults, Huang Taiji stood up and pointed at him impatiently and shouted: "Bastard, you don't know what you have committed. You know it."
What is the crime? Are you trying to fool me!"
These words sounded powerful, and Tu Lai was so frightened that he stammered and said: "King Khan, what this slave has committed is... What he has committed is... alas... King Khan, I really don't know what crime I have committed. Sanbeile tied up my slave.
This slave is so unjust!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body was kicked hard to the ground, and an angry shout rang in his ears: "You are such a slave, how dare you cry out for injustice!"
Tulai was afraid of King Khan, but not afraid of Mang Gurtai. He kicked him in front of King Khan. Tulai was very unwilling to accept it. He opened his mouth and said: "Three Beile, this slave is wronged. If you hadn't forced this slave to
Withdraw the troops, how can the slaves respond to the victory but fail to win..."
Seeing that this slave still dared to talk back, Mang Gurtai became furious: "How dare you say that!" He raised his hand to slap the slave in the mouth. Before he could take action, Huang Taiji's voice rang out from behind him: "Third brother, move.
How can you be so angry? You are also a Hexu Beile from our Great Jin Kingdom. Don’t you think your hands are very dirty if you beat this slave?"
Mang Gurtai had to listen to Huang Taiji's words and put down his arms in a sullen voice. However, he didn't notice that his compatriot De Gelei's face was already the color of pig's liver.
Mang Gurtai beat him Tu Lai in front of him, which made Huang Taiji even more angry, but he hid it well, knowing that now was not the time to deal with Mang Gurtai. He took a few steps forward and walked towards
Tu Lai on the ground smiled coldly: "I ask you, have you ever brought back the bones of the soldiers who died in the Niulu battle?"
Tulai didn't expect that King Khan would reply to him. He was so anxious that he could only say: "In response to King Khan, I wanted to take back Erlang's body, but Sanbeile tied up the servant, so..."
Before he could do anything, Huang Taiji's face dropped again and he said angrily: "You slave, the soldiers fought bloody battles with you and died on the battlefield, but you abandoned their bodies and ignored them, causing their heads to be cut off by Ming people.
Reward, can your heart be at peace?"
After saying that, his eyes suddenly moved to Mang Gurtai, and he said to Tulai: "The ancients talked about shrouding corpses in horse leather, but you turned a blind eye to them. What is the conscience of your slave? I, Dajin, have raised an army since I started.
They are of the same mind, and there have always been cases of abandoning the corpses of soldiers, but you, a slave, have done such a heartbreaking thing, what kind of crime should you deserve!"
Before Tu Lai could react, Mang Gurtai's face turned green and pale for a while. He seemed to have heard that Huang Taiji was scolding Tu Lai openly, but wasn't he scolding himself secretly? [
Huang Taiji scolded Tulai for abandoning the soldiers' bones, but it was Mang Gurtai who ordered the withdrawal of the troops. The responsibility for the abandoned corpses belongs to him anyway, but Huang Taiji angrily scolded Tulai in front of Mang Gurtai.
Without conscience, this is obviously to embarrass Gurtai.
The Belles, big and small, were not fools. They had long understood who Huang Taiji was scolding, and they couldn't help but sweat for Mang Gurtai.
Jierhalang even wondered if Huang Taiji was going to deal with Mang Gurtai the same way he dealt with Amin.
Huang Taiji didn't say anything more about Sang and Huai. He returned to the Khan's position with his hands behind his hands, still angry, and said to Tulai: "You slave, you have done such a beastly thing. I can't spare you. I should have killed you with one blow."
You, but because your father is the founding hero of our country, Dajin, and I don’t want to bear the infamy of killing the hero, from now on, you will hand over Niulu Baoyi, and you can use it in front of the tent from now on."
"My slave thanks King Khan for not killing me!"
When Tu Lai heard that King Khan would not kill him, but would only hand over Niulu, his heart immediately dropped. He hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, stood up, and slowly retreated with his head hanging down.
The generals and generals of the Eight Banners of Baylor in the tent thought that King Khan had dealt with Tulai, so they wanted to mobilize their troops and generals to arrange for the attack on Ming Dynasty. However, King Khan suddenly said to Mang Gurtai in dissatisfaction:
"Third brother, I'm not talking about you as a younger brother. Although this slave Tu Lai disobeyed military orders and fought against the Ming army without permission, since he won the victory, why did you foolishly ask him to withdraw his troops? You know that this withdrawal will not only destroy the bones of the soldiers, but
Come on, then the Ming army will also look down on me, Dajin."
"I am devoted to obeying the orders of King Khan!"
Mang Gurtai obviously resented Huang Taiji's words just now. He was angry in his heart and said in a stiff tone: "The King of Khan has clearly ordered not to fight with the Ming army, and I will naturally abide by it. If the King of Khan thinks that I have done something wrong,
Yes, but the only way to punish me is to make sure I never complain!"
