"I'm rubbing, why did the red flag arrive so quickly?" An officer of the 1st Mixed Brigade, holding a high-powered telescope, observed the enemy's movements, and asked the head of the intelligence department beside him.

There was chaos on the battlefield south of the Fuzhou River, and some of the officers of the Huaxia Army were busy with the whole team, but they also asked the same question.

Because they hadn't heard of the reinforcements from the Houjin Army at the previous pre-war briefing, they would come so quickly.

At the same time, in the north direction of the Fuzhou River crossing, there were also rumbling horses' hooves, and more than 1,000 Houjin cavalry slowly stopped.

A little behind these Houjin cavalry, there are more than 2,000 infantrymen, who are coming here one after another.

Under a large red flag at the front, Yue Tuo was dressed in military uniform, quietly riding on a group of solid-colored horses, and listening to the reports of the sentries expressionlessly.

This expedition of the Jin Kingdom to the Mongolian steppe to conquer several rebellious tribes was an excellent opportunity to gain military merit and qualifications, and to increase their strength.

It's a pity that after some competition, this opportunity to lead the troops was snatched by Dolgon.

When he set out on the expedition, Dolgon treated the men and horses of the banner he led as the main force, and as for the rest, he just followed the old rule of the interests of the Eight Banners, and selected some of the men and horses from each banner to silence the others.

Therefore, it can almost be said that this expedition against the Mongol tribes did not have the share of several Dolgon's political enemies such as Yuetuo, Duoduo, and Daishan.

Moreover, Dolgon not only did not take him with him when he set out on the expedition, but also did not have the intention of not letting him stay in Shenyang at all.

Dolgon, along with several other Baylors and ministers, excluded him, who was originally Huang Taiji's most loyal courtier, from Shenyang's inner circle.

After all, no matter what, he Yuetuo is just a backward little Baylor in the Jin Kingdom, and after removing the military power, he has no way to compete with other big Baylors and the like in politics.

Since some time before Dolgon's departure, he has been staying in the vicinity of the Gaizhou and Fuzhou regions.

However, it seems that he Yue Tuo was excluded, but in fact, this is also officially Yue Tuo's deliberate doing.

The current political arena in the post-Jin country is really extremely chaotic.

Later Jin originally based himself on Liaodong with the Eight Banners system, and in the early days of Huang Taiji's succession, he set up a new position in the Eight Banners, called Gushan Ezhen, who specialized in dividing the power of the Eight Banners.

Moreover, in the previous 7 years when Huang Taiji was in power, Huang Taiji's court was given by Huang Taiji to imitate a series of organizational forms from the six ministries of the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji's political skills are suitable for profiting from chaos, and he can find what is most beneficial to him in the chaotic and complicated system and make use of it.

As for the other post-gold magnates, most of them don't have that kind of mind and consciousness, and they are very confused by Huang Taiji's deliberate behavior of issuing orders from the parliamentary assembly for a while, and issuing orders from the sixth ministry for a while.

Only now the new Four Great Baylors can be inferred from Huang Taiji's actions that he wants to achieve the goal of controlling military power by forming a new six departments.

On a deeper level, Huang Taiji wants to use Han officials and Han troops to restrain the power of the Old Eight Banners.

This set of methods was played really smoothly by Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji has almost completely achieved the goal he expected.

is like the one standing next to Yue Tuo now, it is the Gushan Ezhen Borjin with the red flag.

This person was born as a guard during the Nurhachi period, and was surrounded by Huang Taiji, and as soon as Nurhachi died, he was arranged by Huang Taiji to serve as a solid mountain in the red flag.

Borjin also has several exclusive Niu Lu, and has all the control over the population of these Niu Lu, even if Yue Tuo is the banner owner, he can't just deprive Bo Erjin of his population and finances.

Bol Jin, who has this kind of capital, is the one who came to monitor Yue Tuo and divide Yue Tuo's power, which is one of the effective means of controlling the Eight Banners during Huang Taiji's reign.

It's a pity that the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and when Huang Taiji was ambitiously preparing to make a big fight and completely unify all powers, he encountered an extremely sudden and fierce surprise attack by the Huaxia Army and died on the spot.

Huang Taiji died, and the days still have to pass, but Huang Taiji's integration of the Houjin has not yet been officially completed, and the entire Houjin is just in a mixed period of political and military systems with multiple institutions and multiple establishments.

Such a complicated thing, in addition to Huang Taiji himself, as well as the group of Han subordinates under his command, the other post-Jin Baylor and ministers have seven tricks and six tricks, and they can't play it at all.

What's more, half of the new four Baylors who have come to power now are the sons of Abahai, who were suppressed during the Huang Taiji period.

They were fed up with everything in the Huang Taiji period, and they did not have the slightest trust in the Han officials that Huang Taiji relied on, which made the system that Huang Taiji was integrating before tend to be chaotic.

There are many orders, and there are many things that compete for power between ministers of various departments, and it is simply a scene of a group of demons dancing wildly.

When Yue Tuo failed to fight for the right to conquer the Mongolian steppe, he knew that staying there could only allow the military power in his hands to be slowly consumed by political forces.

He was very aware that although he was also a Baylor, he was just a junior in the Eight Banners of the Golden State, and he had to call someone first when he saw anyone.

This disadvantage made him have the name of Baylor and a strong military force, and he was unable to use it.

And, in his political career with Huang Taiji for many years, he also realized the nature of some problems.

That is, among the Jurchen ethnic groups that have not yet been fully civilized, military strength is fundamental, and political power is something that can be played with at will after having a certain amount of military strength to make the strong stronger and stronger.

In the current chaotic situation, the army is the foundation of everything in the post-Jin country, and only by firmly controlling the army in hand and constantly expanding it can it be possible to get through this chaotic period and occupy an advantageous position after the chaos is over in the future.

Now this person is not in line with the people, and everyone is vying for power and profit, if there is no strong force as a backing, no matter how much political capital is obtained, it will only be a mirror and a castle in the air.

Therefore, before Dolgon set out on the expedition, he deliberately showed a dullness to the political struggle in the court, so that the group of people who were already hostile to him took the initiative to unite and banished him from the political whirlpool in Shenyang.
