Huang Taiji's words made Daishan confused. He frowned and asked: "Fourth brother, what do you mean by this? It seems that the Ming army just wanted to retaliate against the Mongols in order to prevent the Mongols from doing so in the future.
How come it is our opportunity now that we are still attached to Daikin?"
Everyone else in the hall felt the same way and looked at Huang Taiji to see how he would explain.
At this time, even Mang Gurtai, who was looking at the ceiling, and Dodo, who was looking for ants on the ground, also looked at Huang Taiji. Only Dorgon was in the corner, looking at Huang Taiji, looking thoughtful.
Huang Taiji turned to Daishan, chuckled and said: "In crisis, there is opportunity in danger. If we, Daikin, think about this matter differently, we have to thank Mingguo for giving us a lot of effort."
"Can you just finish it in one breath? You won't feel too stuffy even if you hold it in your stomach." Mang Gurtai couldn't help but sarcastically said when Huang Taiji said a few words but then stopped.
"Third brother's impatience has not changed at all. I will tell you right away to avoid thinking that I was lying to you before."
Huang Taiji smiled at Mang Gurtai, then looked at the others and said: "Those Mongolian tribes that relied on our Dajin were only willing to join us as allies before. But now several tribes have been exposed on the Mongolian grassland.
The army has been crippled, and other tribes are also in panic. They don’t know where the Ming army is and when it might kill them. Especially the small tribes are unable to resist the Ming army coming out to retaliate. What can they do?"
"Several tribes united together and sent troops to search and destroy the Ming army." Dai Shan replied when he saw Huang Taiji looking at him.
"The Ming army cannot be stopped until the Ming army is wiped out. This is an unbearable loss for the Mongols, especially after the winter when the herds are reproducing." Huang Taiji
Shaking his head, he pointed out the flaws in Daishan's strategy.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Daishan simply stopped thinking and asked directly.
"The natural enemy of the Ming Army is our Da Jin Army. Now only our Da Jin Army can defeat the Ming Army with fewer wins and more victories in the field. Therefore, the Mongolian tribes only need to agree to formally surrender to our Da Jin Army and be incorporated into our Da Jin Army.
Then Dajin will send troops to protect them when they enter Dajin, and they will naturally be safe." Huang Taiji smiled slightly and revealed the opportunity in danger he mentioned before.
"If the Mongols are incorporated into the Daijin, they will be under the jurisdiction of the Daijin. Will the original Mongolian nobles hand over their power in vain?" Azig, who had never spoken, asked doubtfully.
"Perhaps not before, but now when life is at risk, it is possible. As long as we, Dajin, give those Mongolian nobles some benefits, I'm sure they will agree." Huang Taiji answered confidently.
his problem.
"Those large Mongolian tribes are still capable of protecting themselves?" Daishan reminded Huang Taiji, thinking that Huang Taiji's consideration was not comprehensive.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. Isn't there a Ming army helping us? As long as the Ming army is not wiped out, even the big tribes in Mongolia will have to be on tenterhooks. We are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid that thieves will miss us. Over time, even the big tribes won't be able to bear it."
At this time, Huang Taiji seemed to have turned into Zhuge Liang, who was fighting with the Confucian scholars. He calmly answered the questions of the people in the palace one by one.
After he answered the question, he saw that the people in the palace began to whisper, and no one asked him any more questions. He was secretly proud, and then continued: "This move has two major benefits for Daikin."
"Great Khan, what are the two great benefits?" Jierhalang seemed to have a clear understanding of Huang Taiji, and immediately asked in cooperation.
Huang Taiji stretched out his index finger and said: "First, if the Mongols are incorporated into our Dajin Army, they will have an extra fighting force. If we restrain them with our Dajin military discipline and give them clear rewards and punishments, they will definitely be able to fight for our Dajin Army."
Charge into battle to reduce the casualties of our Daikin warriors."
At this point, he explained: "Don't underestimate the Mongols' fighting power. They have been regarded as the number one enemy by the Ming Dynasty. They have been beating them for hundreds of years, which has left the Mongols without morale and equipment. In addition, they have been beaten by the Ming Dynasty as their number one enemy.
The rewards and punishments of the Mongolian nobles are unclear, and the tribes are scattered, so they cannot exert their combat power as they did in the Temujin era. As long as we make good use of the Mongols and solve their problems, we will definitely give the Ming army a headache."
When Huang Taiji spoke, the people in the hall stopped whispering and listened attentively to his analysis.
Huang Taiji was very satisfied with the reaction of everyone in the hall, and then extended his middle finger and said: "Second, the Mongolian tribe has surrendered to us, Daijin, and the cattle and sheep they brought can also solve part of the food shortage when necessary."
Dai Shanggang nodded repeatedly, but when he heard the second benefit of Huang Taiji, he disagreed and said to Huang Taiji: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate. Mongolians make a living by grazing. If we, Daijin, want to eat them
It doesn’t mean killing their cattle and sheep.”
"Haha, brother, I haven't finished speaking yet, please listen to it. After the Mongolian tribes were incorporated into our Dajin, they were given land and clothing. There was a lot of unowned land in Liaodong, and the Han people were responsible for covering it for them.
Isn't farming better than their own herding life? They will only do more military exploits in the hope of getting more land and clothing." Huang Taiji smiled and then answered Daishan's question.
When he saw Dai Shan nodded and stopped talking, he took back his hand and concluded with a smile: "The Ming army's departure from the fortress will not only solve the problem of our lack of combat power in Dajin, but also solve part of the food problem. It can be seen from this that I
Is it true that this matter is important?"
Everyone in the hall nodded, including Mang Gurtai and Duoduo. Huang Taiji had already made it clear enough, and they were not fools, so they naturally understood.
Huang Taiji stopped smiling and said seriously: "On the other hand, the Ming army has been on the grassland for many days. For us in Daijin, timing is very important. Not only must we send out troops in time to protect those small tribes who are willing to join our Daikin
, and even if necessary, drive the Ming army to serve our Daikin."
"Great Khan, do you mean to drive the Ming army to those Mongolian tribes that are unwilling to join our Dajin?" Azig asked with a puzzled expression.
These Mongolian tribes are all allies of Jianlu. Jianlu should be morally condemned for treating them like this. But, is Jianlu moral?
Huang Taiji looked at him, nodded and said: "For the benefit of Daikin, some sacrifices are necessary."
The people in the palace are all the core members of Jianlu, and their positions are highly consistent in safeguarding the interests of Daijin. Therefore, no one thinks that this cold-blooded conclusion is wrong and wants to object.
Daishan went through today's meeting in his mind, and secretly admired Huang Taiji's opportunity to find Dajin from danger. He used a little trick to turn danger into an opportunity, killing two birds with one stone.
He couldn't help but think deeply about whether it was a wise choice for him and Huang Taiji to seize power, especially when Amin went away and left a simple-minded ally.
The next topic naturally discussed the specific operation of this matter.
For this strategy against Mongolia, first of all, it must be kept secret. The Mongols must know that Dajin has the intention of annexing them, which is not conducive to controlling them. This requires the commander who leads the army to attack Mongolia must choose one of these people in the palace, so as not to
The news leaked out.
Second, in the face of a complex and ever-changing situation, how to get more Mongolian tribes to join the banner of Dajin requires a careful assessment of the situation and the situation at the time. This requires a thoughtful person to be competent.
Third, the commander who leads the army must have enough prestige to convince the grassland tribes to surrender to Dajin, which rules out the possibility of the Four Little Belles becoming this commander.
The final result of the discussion between the seven Baylors was that Daishan led the army to the grassland, and before the expedition, he sent eloquent messengers to each tribe to lobby.
By the time they finished discussing this matter, it was already past meal time, and Huang Taiji announced that they would discuss the remaining matters in the afternoon.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall stood up and left one after another. Only Daishan walked slowly and fell to the end.
When Daishan reached the palace gate, the others had already left the palace and walked away.
He suddenly turned around, faced Huang Taiji who was still in the hall, and said sincerely: "Great Khan, if you have any mission in the future, just ask."
Huang Taiji was originally surprised that Daishan walked so slowly, but he didn't expect that he stayed at the end just to say these words. He was immediately overjoyed. He understood that Daishan had given up the fight for the throne and surrendered to himself.
Huang Taiji received his allegiance, so naturally he had to show it. He smiled and said to Dai Shan: "I plan to make a flag for the surrendered Mongolian people, and I should have a share of the Zhenghuang Banner."
The two leaders of Jianlu looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
