On May 11th, the ninth year of Chongzhen, Shengjing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty, was located. The imperial palace in the center of Shengjing was the residence of the Manchu emperor. This palace was built by the Manchu Qing Dynasty and had the characteristics of the Manchu and Mongolian people of "high palaces and low palaces".
The palace was decorated with gold and silver jewelry stolen from the pass by Qing soldiers. Since Nurhachi's death, several of his sons went through a lot of open and covert fighting with swords and swords. In the end, Nurhaci's eighth son Huang Taiji became this
The master of a royal palace. There is no pop-up windowqi
Today, Huang Taiji summoned all the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to gather together in the Chongzheng Hall. They are Da Beile Daishan, General Yang Wu Yue Tuo, Prince Dorgon of Heshuorui, University scholar Ning Wanwo,
Fan Wencheng, Ma Guozhu and Cui Tou stood dejectedly in the center of the hall, including Yingwu Prince Azige, Rao Yibeile Abata and other senior officials of the Qing Dynasty.
A middle-aged man, about forty years old, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, was standing on the high platform and glaring angrily at Azig and Abatai who were below the stage. His angry voice was echoing in the hall.
"Ajige, Abatai, you two are veterans in the army. How come you lost so many horses this time when you went south! There are more than 10,000 warriors of the Qing Dynasty. How many ten thousand soldiers do we have in the Eight Banners?"
If you squander the money, how long will it take to replenish it? Don’t think that I will forgive you if you come back after robbing some things, don’t even think about it!”
Huang Taiji's voice shook the entire hall, and everyone inside was as silent as a cicada, with their heads lowered and not daring to say a word. Only Huang Taiji's son, Prince Su Hauge, sneered at the side.
Dorgon looked at Dabeile Daishan on the side and found that he was still standing there without making a sound. He sighed secretly in his heart. It seemed that he wanted to ask his second brother, who had always been wise and self-protective, to intercede.
It was possible, so he had to stand up and say to Huang Taiji: "Your Majesty, although the seventh brother and the twelfth brother lost a lot of money, they can take back tens of thousands of Ming people and so much food, grass and property.
It is a worthwhile trip, not to mention that the people fighting them this time are all elites of the Ming Dynasty, so it is inevitable that our warriors will suffer a lot of casualties."
Huang Taiji raised his eyelids, his cold eyes shot towards Dorgon like lightning, and asked in a cold voice: "So, Azig and his entourage are not guilty of any fault, but they have meritorious deeds?"
When Dorgon was glanced at by Huang Taiji's cold eyes, he felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. His heart suddenly froze, and he quickly lowered his head and said: "I don't dare, I just think that although they are wrong, they are wrong.
Brother Twelve is our own brother after all, so I thought it would be better to be given a lighter sentence."
Huang Taiji sneered and said: "Hmph, if I hadn't remembered that they were my brothers, do you think I would have let them stand here? I would have stripped them of their titles and demoted them to common people. The reason why I scolded them is because
It is to let them remember that every warrior of our Qing Dynasty is the most precious treasure of Manchu, and they are by no means some abandoned son who is squandered casually to climb up. It should be noted that without these warriors, we Manchu will not be able to do anything.
They will become cattle and sheep left to be slaughtered.”
Listening to Huang Taiji's training from the commanding heights of the clan, Dorgon and others, although they didn't agree in their hearts, still lowered their heads respectfully to show that they were being taught.
After a long time, Huang Taiji finished his long speech and then said to Azig and Abatai with a stern face: "Although you will lose troops this time when you enter, you can still regain a lot of entrances for our Qing Dynasty.
and food, I will spare you this time. If you commit two crimes next time, you will be punished. Moreover, you will not have a share in the property plundered this time! Can you accept my punishment like this?"
Although Azig and Abate cursed secretly in their hearts, they could only raise their hands and say in unison: "Your Majesty is fair, and I have no objections."
"Well! That's good, this matter will end here for now." Huang Taiji nodded and then asked: "Now you two, let's talk about the process of this war first, Abatai, you can also be considered as ours
The famous Batulu in Manchuria, why did the white flag you led suffer such heavy losses this time?"
Abatai said with a bitter face: "To answer your Majesty's question, I and my twelfth brother split their forces in Datong this time. I led an army south to attack Hejian Mansion, and then attacked Dezhou Mansion. Originally everything went smoothly. Who knows?
Zhique killed a Ming army from Shandong. The Ming army was commanded by a Qianhu from Lingshan Guard in Qingzhou Prefecture, Shandong. They "
In this way, Abatai told exactly how he broke his wings under the city of Dezhou City, and then fought fiercely with the Ming army under the city of the Ming Dynasty, resulting in heavy casualties. The crowd listened and listened to the expressions of each one.
Everything became weird. More than 10,000 Qing troops were unable to capture a city defended by only a few thousand Ming troops, and thousands of them were wiped out by them. This sounds like listening to a fairy tale.
After listening, Hauge couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Rao Yubeile is telling a joke, isn't it? That Ming army must have all been young soldiers and young generals who failed to make it to earth. My nephew sounds like he is hearing a joke. Besides,
It’s not like we haven’t seen the Ming army’s firearms before, but besides scaring people in, what else can they do with those firearms?”
In Haug's view, Abate's words were purely an excuse for his failure.
The anger on Abatai's face flashed away. This Hauge relied on the power of his father, Huang Taiji, and had always ignored their uncles, but now he was acting more and more arrogant. He took a deep breath
He said: "If Prince Su doesn't believe it, Prince Yingwu is also here. You can ask him if I am lying."
Everyone's eyes turned to Azig, who nodded with a gloomy face and said, "What Brother Seventh said is not wrong, it is true."
"Hiss" Everyone took a breath, and then confirmed that what Abate just said was true.
At this time, Huang Taiji's face began to become solemn, and he asked slowly: "Who is the commander of this Ming army? Does the Ming army under his command really only have the four thousand soldiers that Rao Yubeile said? Since he can
How can there be only a small thousand households when there are four thousand households?"
Huang Taiji deserves to be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He asked the key point in one sentence.
Abatai and Azig looked at each other and smiled bitterly while shaking their heads. Abatai sighed and said: "The commander of this Ming army is named Pang Gang. I only know that he is Qianhu of Lingshan Guard, and the rest of me are just like that."
I don’t even know anymore.”
"I don't know. I don't know that you don't know anything. How did you become Baylor?" Huang Taiji frowned and pointed at Abatai Erjun, "It's okay to lose more than 10,000 warriors, but even the opponent
Are you too incompetent if you don’t even know the situation?”
Abatai lowered his head in shame. This time they did lose unjustly. The battle was originally going well, but who would have thought that Cheng Yaojin appeared in the middle of the battle. Not only did they fail, but also
Ling Erru could hardly hold his head high among the top officials of the Qing Dynasty.
Fortunately, Huang Taiji did not continue to hold them accountable. After pondering for a long time, he said to Ning Wanwo, who had been standing aside, "Scholar Ning, you are familiar with the Ming Dynasty. Do you know who Pang Gang is?
"
Ning Wanme shook his head: "To answer your Majesty's question, I have never heard of this."
After hearing this, Huang Taiji pondered for a long time before saying: "This Pang Gang will be a disaster for our Qing Dynasty in the future. Xueshie Ning, please quickly send our spies lurking in the Ming Dynasty to find out everything about this Pang Gang."
, all matters, no matter how big or small, must be compiled into a book and reported here."
"Scum! I obey the order!" This loyal servant to the Qing Dynasty immediately accepted the order and left.
After seeing Ning Wanme go out, Huang Taiji said to Fan Wencheng on the side: "Scholar Fan, this trip south has confirmed your plan to go deep into the Ming Dynasty and attack the capital. It's not the right time. This plan is too great."
It is too urgent and too dangerous. If we act in this way, the consequences are unimaginable. Although the Ming Dynasty was defeated by the Qing Dynasty several times, its territory was vast, its subjects were numerous, and its entrance was hundreds of times larger than that of the Qing Dynasty. The Ming army was also
Dozens of times more powerful than the Eight Banners Army, they could lose ten or twenty times, but we, the Qing Dynasty, couldn't stand it if we were defeated just once. For example, this time we went south, although we plundered a lot of property and the people of the Ming Dynasty, this victory was not
It was purchased with the lives of more than 10,000 warriors. This price is not small, Bachelor Fan, do you understand?"
Fan Wencheng bowed in shame and said: "What the emperor said is absolutely true, but this servant takes it too much for granted."
Since last year, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo and Ma Guozhu have concocted a strategic offensive, which is to mobilize the entire country's troops to attack the Ming Dynasty southward and directly capture the capital of the Ming Dynasty. In Fan Wencheng's view, as long as the Ming Dynasty is captured,
If the capital city were to be destroyed, the entire Ming Dynasty would be paralyzed, and it would be much easier to deal with the remnants of the Ming army fighting in various places.
After receiving Fan Wencheng's memorial, Huang Taiji was unsure about paying attention, so he thought of a compromise, which was to send an army south to plunder and surround the capital of the Ming Dynasty to test the reaction of the Ming Dynasty.
and the strength of the military’s resistance.
The purpose of Azig and Abatai's trip south this time was based on this plan, but what Huang Taiji didn't expect was that a powerful Ming army appeared from nowhere and took Azig away.
Ge and Abatai suffered a bruised nose and face, and they also lost more than 10,000 Qing warriors. Such losses made Huang Taiji, the Qing emperor, so distressed that he gritted his teeth.
Huang Taiji sighed, reached out and patted Fan Wencheng on the shoulder, "Scholar Fan, don't take it too seriously. If you suffer a loss this time, we will get it back next time."
Seeing the mistakes in his strategy, Huang Taiji not only did not blame himself, but also comforted himself. Fan Wencheng was so excited that he trembled all over. He cried with choked sobs: "The emperor treats his slaves with such kindness, even ten thousand deaths are not enough."
To repay His Majesty's kindness."
Huang Taiji smiled faintly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, remember to work hard in the future. This is the best reward for me."
"Scum, I obey the order!" Fan Wencheng, who was so excited, immediately lay on the ground and kowtowed three times to Huang Taiji.
Seeing the scene in front of them of "the reconciliation between generals and prime ministers", everyone in the hall sneered in their hearts...
