Mang Gurtai's words were so plausible that Huang Taiji couldn't help but hesitate. He did not mention the crime of cheating and fighting without permission, but he brought up the matter of abandoning the bones of fallen soldiers. The finger was obviously directed at Mang Gurtai.
.But upon closer inspection, Mang Gurtai was not wrong. The order not to fight the Ming army was given by Huang Taiji himself. Mang Gurtai strictly followed the order. What was wrong with him?
There is nothing wrong with Mang Gurtai. His fault lies in the fact that others live up to their names and are reckless. If he had been softer like Dai Shan, understood the current affairs and regarded himself as a hero, and lowered his status, I am afraid that Huang Taiji would not be disgusted in his heart.
Already.
If it were anyone else, when King Khan said those words, he would definitely have chosen wisely to admit his mistakes, and he would have admitted his mistakes even if he was right. He would never have contradicted King Khan like Mang Gurtai.
Everyone in the tent listened carefully and saw clearly. They couldn't help but sweat for Mang Gurtai's boldness. The general with two yellow flags was even more annoyed: "What do you mean by Sanbeile? You are clearly saying this."
The tone of questioning King Khan shows how little he takes King Khan seriously![
Gushan Ezhen and Niulu Ezhen under Zhenglan also felt that the way the banner leader spoke like this was a bit inappropriate.
………
Since he succeeded to the throne, except for Erbeile Amin, even the eldest Beile Daishan has never contradicted him like this. Huang Taiji hated Mang Gurtai in his heart, but he couldn't do anything to him. You know, Mang Gurtai didn't
But the four big Beizi still control the Zhenglan Banner. If they are forced to attack him, the Zhenglan Banner gang will definitely not comply. They will start a riot and it will be difficult to deal with it. At present, the entire country's troops are pouring in to encircle the Dashou tribe of Daling Hezu.
In order to determine the situation in Liaodong in one battle, internal strife is really not appropriate.
But it is not Huang Taiji's character to swallow this anger. After confining Amin, he could no longer tolerate anyone violating his authority.
However, he would not express everything like Mang Gurtai. Instead, he rolled his eyes, a smile appeared on his face, took three steps forward, held Mang Gurtai's hand, and said kindly: "Third brother, what a wonderful person!"
I’m sorry, how could I have the intention to blame Third Brother? If I really did, I would definitely be punished by God.”
After a pause, he said with a relieved tone: "This time I send troops to the Ming Dynasty, I have to rely on my third brother. Only if my brothers are of the same mind, my father Khan's tree-cutting strategy can truly be implemented in the Ming Dynasty."
Mang Gurtai originally thought that Huang Taiji would change his face, but he was so kind and even brought his dead father Khan out. He couldn't help but feel a little stunned, and subconsciously said: "If King Khan has an order, I will listen to it with all my strength.
"
It was your words that Huang Taiji was waiting for. Huang Taiji sneered in his heart. He said calmly: "In this expedition, I am the army of the entire country. Although the Zu Dashou tribe in Dalinghe City only has more than 10,000 people,
They are the elite of the Ming army and should not be underestimated. Therefore, Ben Khan has already decided on the strategy of siege and reinforcements. The key to how to best implement this siege lies in attacking the reinforcements of the Ming army. As long as the reinforcements of the Ming army are blocked,
Zu Dashou is like a bird in a cage, he can't fly out even if he wants to."
"King Khan is wise!"
There was a burst of praise in the tent. Mang Gurtai also agreed with Huang Taiji's strategy of siege and reinforcements. Frankly speaking, Huang Taiji's military ability was something he could be ashamed of.
"The third brother led the two banners of Zhenglan and Xianghong and stationed them between Daling River and Jinzhou. It was necessary to cut off the connection between Jinzhou and Daling River. I personally led the other five banners to encircle and annihilate Zu Dashou. All the elites of the Liaodong Army were in Zu.
In Dashou's hands, the city of Jinzhou is very empty, and the third brother leads two banner troops to help, which is more than enough."
At this point, Huang Taiji suddenly became troubled and said: "However, the siege of the city is still too small for the number of soldiers. The art of war has it that only ten times the siege can break the city. Therefore, I want to allocate a thousand reds from the third brother Zhenglan Banner."
The armor is ready, and another ten Niulu will be assigned to Ashan and Darhan to take part in the siege. In this way, the troops for the siege will be enough. But I don’t know what the third brother wants?"
As soon as these words came out, Mang Gurtai was shocked. Jierhalang, Derge and others also had their heartbeats speed up instantly. The generals of Zhenglan Banner also changed their faces. However, Ashan and Darhan in the crowd heard this.
, are all very happy.
Na Ashan was Gushan Ezhen of the Zhenghuang Banner. He was a fierce general in the Eight Banners Army. He accompanied Huang Taiji to attack the Ming Dynasty two years ago. He and Ye Chen led 24 people to ascend Yongping City first. Huang Taiji praised him as "the number one in our country".
"A brave man of the first class". Darhan, on the other hand, is one of the eight ministers with a yellow flag on his forehead.
If Mang Gurtai agrees, one of them can receive a thousand red armors, and the other can receive ten oxen. This strength is undoubtedly the best among the generals of the banners. How can they not be happy?
Although the Eight Banners nominally has 300 Niulu, one-third of them are Mongolian Niulu who were naturalized during the Nurhaci period. They are not real Jianzhou. Only 200 Niulu are purely Jianzhou Jurchens, and they are also the Eight Banners.
The foundation of.
When Nurhaci died, the most powerful among the Eight Banners was not Huang Taiji, the successor Khan, but Dabeile Daishan. His Zhenghong Banner had thirty-five Niulu, and his three sons also had twenty-six
He is a good person, so he has the greatest influence.
Shuerha Qizi and Erbeile Amin, who were imprisoned for the Yongping massacre, had thirty-three cattle records with yellow flags, ranking second.
Mang Gurtai's Zhenglan Banner has twenty-one Niulu, while Huang Taiji's Zhengbai Banner only has eighteen Niulu, so among the four Baylors, Huang Taiji is the weakest.[
Of course, this is only the strength of the four Baylors. In real terms, the three brothers Azig, Dorgon, and Duduo are the strongest. The three of them already had fifteen records each, and Nurhaci had a record in his later years.
It was stated clearly that after his death, all the 20 Niulu troops he commanded would be handed over to Duduo, and a flag would be given to Dorgon at the same time.
Before Nurhachi's death, he transferred Du Du, the leader of the Xiangbai Banner, who had fifteen Niulus, to Xianghongqi, and gave the Xiangbai Banner to Dorgon. At that time, everyone in the Jin Dynasty believed that this was Nurhaci's preparation to pass on the throne to the Khan.
Remarks to Dorgon. Because in this way, Dorgon will have thirty Niulu. If the three brothers unite, there will be as many as seventy Niulu. This is something that no one, including the four Baylors, can do.
to compete with it.
However, as Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, the strength of each banner was weakened to varying degrees. In addition, Amin was imprisoned, and the yellow flag he held was taken by Huang Taiji himself. These two yellow flags stood out from the eight banners, and separated from the original two flags.
From less than 40 Niulu, the two banners suddenly expanded to nearly 80 Niulu, ranking first among the Eight Banners in terms of strength.
However, the number of Niu Lu under Daishan's name dropped to less than thirty. Although the twenty-one Niu Lu of Mang Gurtai were not moved, all other banners were cut off in unison, and the three Azige brothers were even cut off.
There are only forty cows left.
The red-armored penyalars are the lifeblood of each banner owner. They are the best among the elite. Each banner has no more than two or three thousand people at most. The Zhenglan Banner of Manggurtai originally had three thousand red-armored penyaras, but when they attacked North Korea
, some were lost when entering Mongolia and marching to the Ming Dynasty, and now there are less than two thousand. Now Huang Taiji asked for a thousand red armors and ten oxen as soon as he opened his mouth, which was equivalent to cutting off the Zhenglan Banner.
Half of the strength was nominally seconded to participate in the siege, but after the war, who knows whether it will be returned to the original banner.
Mang Gurtai was just a little reckless. He relied on the fact that he was the fourth child, Huang Taiji's brother, and his legitimate son. His mother was the concubine conferred by his father Khan. Unlike Huang Taiji, whose mother was just a concubine, he usually treated
Huang Taiji is not very respectful. But he is not stupid either. He cannot easily hand over half of his Zhenglan Banner property to Huang Taiji. But Huang Taiji said it grandly, and he is just borrowing it to siege the city. He is not easy to do so.
Refuse. Remain silent for the moment, neither saying yes nor saying no.
Seeing that Mang Gurtai remained silent, Huang Taiji smiled: "What? Could it be that the third brother is unwilling?"
Mang Gurtai still remained silent, and so did his compatriot Degerei. The two of them expressed their opposition through silence.
Huang Taiji didn't take it seriously, laughed, and said: "When the six divisions were established in Shenyang, I told each banner that you should not think that I am trying to take advantage of your flags' property! What I am taking advantage of every day is Ming Ming.
It is the country’s idea, and it will never take the brothers’ ideas on property! The personal soldier Niulu is the property left to everyone by the first Khan. This Khan has never thought about it and will never touch it in the future! So the three of them
Don’t worry, brother, as long as the Ming army of Zu Dashou’s tribe is completely annihilated, Baiyala and Niulu will return to Zhenglan’s banner.”
After hearing this, Degerei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Since King Khan has said so, how can I not agree?" After saying this, he gently poked Mang Gurtai.
Although Mang Gurtai was unwilling in his heart, he also didn't want to be accused of ignoring the overall situation, so he had to go against his will and said: "If it's for Zheng Ming, I will naturally say nothing."
"Okay, it's better for Third Brother to understand the general situation!"
Huang Taiji laughed again, laughing so hard that his whole body trembled with fatness, and he felt very proud in his heart: You idiot Mang Gurtai, you Dao Ben Khan will really give you those thousand red armors and ten cow records.
!
While he was smiling, someone outside the tent announced: "I am reporting to the King of Khan, Angbang Zhangjing, and my concubine Tong is seeking to cultivate his character and seek an audience with you!"
