Chapter 1273: Surprise
Huang Taiji has always paid attention to the situation of the Great Jin Dynasty, including the situation in the capital and Liaodong.
Although the competition between Hauge and Dolgon still exists, and although the white flag and inlaid white flag led by Dolgon are already the most powerful armies of the Qing Dynasty, from the overall situation, Huang Taiji still has to find a way to occupy Liaodong. In this regard, Huang Taiji is in favor of Haoge, thinking that the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty is not long, especially after entering the capital, there are many places that need to be stabilized, from a period of time, the Great Jin Dynasty did not launch an offensive in Liaodong, and the warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom occupied Guangning, Xipingbao, Yizhou and other places again, and Su Tiancheng did not think about taking it back.
Many things happened in the capital and Liaodong, and Huang Taiji was very surprised.
The establishment of a bank and the unified issuance of paper money, such a thing, Huang Taiji did not think of any effect for a while, but felt extremely surprised by such a thing, thinking that the time for the unification of the Central Plains by the Great Jin Dynasty was not long, and he dared to have such a big move, of course, he was even more unexpected, such a thing, in the near future, will have a significant impact on Liaodong and the Qing Dynasty, as for the dismantling and integration of the border army in Liaodong, it is Huang Taiji's focus on things.
According to Huang Taiji's considerations, it is to prepare for an attack in Liaodong during the autumn harvest season, and the intelligence network presided over by Tan Tai and Jia Jihan still has a lot of information back, and the focus of the Great Jin Dynasty and Su Tiancheng seems to have been invested in the establishment of banks and the unified issuance of paper money, and the situation in Liaodong has not been paid attention to for the time being, so the opportunity for the Great Qing State to attack Liaodong still exists.
It is precisely because of such a situation that Huang Taiji pays special attention to the situation in Liaodong.
Lu Xiangsheng arrived in Liaodong and brought 50,000 soldiers from the Jiangning battalion, this news made Huang Taiji's heart begin to sink, and this situation appeared. It shows that Su Tiancheng has not forgotten the situation in Liaodong, no matter how many border troops there are in Liaodong, Huang Taiji doesn't care, in his heart, he is still sure of the combat effectiveness of the border army in Liaodong. The warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom defeated the Liaodong Border Army, and they still had a great deal of certainty, as long as the Great Qing State occupied the favorable situation of Liaodong, at least they could occupy Dalinghe City, and with the favorable terrain, they could still resist the Jiangning camp.
With the unification of the Central Plains by Su Tiancheng, Huang Taiji felt that the pressure was getting bigger and bigger, Su Tiancheng was not Emperor Chongzhen, once the Great Jin Dynasty began to become strong. The living space of the Great Qing Kingdom will become smaller and smaller, and Su Tiancheng will not allow the Grand Qing Kingdom to exist in a grand manner.
But the Great Qing Kingdom must continue, this is the bottom line of Huang Taiji.
Tan Tai and Jia Jihan entered the Chongzheng Palace.
Before the two of them could speak, Huang Taiji spoke.
"Tan Tai, Jia Jihan, I have thought about it, Lu Xiangsheng went to Liaodong and brought the army of the Jiangning battalion. This is the great trouble of my Great Qing Kingdom, Prince Li and Prince Zheng have gone to Liaodong. To prevent any accidents, during this time, I have been thinking about the affairs of Liaodong, and I feel that Lu Xiangsheng is going to integrate the border army of Liaodong, which is an opportunity for me to be a great Qing country. You are in charge of the intelligence network, and at this time, I am afraid that it is time for the intelligence network to play a major role. ”
Tan Tai looked at Jia Jihan and replied.
"If the emperor asks for anything, the minister will do his best."
Huang Taiji looked at Tan Tai and Jia Jihan. But he didn't say what to do.
Jia Jihan coughed lightly, unhurriedly ready to speak.
In fact, Jia Jihan had already thought of what Huang Taiji wanted to do, and at this time, Huang Taiji probably also wanted to test himself to see if he could think of this. On other occasions, Jia Jihan will never speak, and sometimes he pretends to be very stupid, and he can often protect himself, but in front of Huang Taiji, don't do this, because Huang Taiji can see it and figure out your thoughts.
It is precisely this kind of atmosphere in the Great Qing Kingdom that the situation in the imperial court is good, although there are internal strife, but no one dares to offend the dignity of Huang Taiji.
"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that the intelligence network of Liaodong should play a role, a few days ago, because of the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, so my Qing Dynasty was able to fully expand the network in Liaodong, and developed a lot of people, now Lu Xiangsheng represents the Jin Dynasty and integrates the border army in Liaodong, if the slave is expected to be good, the border army in Liaodong must face large-scale reduction, and if you want to dismantle the border army, it is easy to say, but it is difficult to do, so many sergeants, after being abolished, where are they placed, I am afraid that it is a problem that the Great Jin Dynasty must consider, and if you are not careful, there will be huge contradictions. ”
"The army of the former Ming Dynasty likes to make some mutinies, the minions have carefully analyzed, as long as the sergeant is slightly dissatisfied with the treatment, someone will come out to make trouble, now is the time to change the dynasty, the possibility of this situation is greater, the minions have also thought about it, Lu Xiangsheng will definitely find ways to stabilize the situation in Liaodong."
"At this time, as long as the intelligence network can play a role, the situation in Liaodong will definitely be turbulent, so the slave suggested that our Great Qing State can appropriately set certain conditions to encourage the dismantled Liaodong border army to join the army of our Great Qing State, and at the same time encourage those border troops who are about to be dismantled to make trouble."
"As long as we can do this and make Liaodong turbulent, my Great Qing Kingdom's conquest of Liaodong will become much smoother."
After Jia Jihan finished speaking, a smile appeared on Huang Taiji's face.
After such a long time, Huang Taiji is more and more attached to Jia Jihan, he once privately compared Jia Jihan with Fan Wencheng, Jia Jihan is smarter than Fan Wencheng, can understand a lot of things, and more importantly, Jia Jihan is very low-key, never contacted the officers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Hanchen in the court, and put all his energy on the intelligence network, which made Huang Taiji very relieved.
Jia Jihan is also very smart, that is, he pays great attention to the relationship between the Manchu nobles, the contradiction between Hauge and Dolgon, most of the Manchu nobles are clear, and Jia Jihan, who is in the position of the center of power, must also be clear, but in the open and secret struggle between the two, Jia Jihan did not favor anyone, and supported the emperor with one mind, and it was not easy to do this.
Of course, Huang Taiji knows that Jia Jihan must have a demand in his heart, and if he does things so hard, what he pursues must be power, otherwise it can't be explained, but as long as Jia Jihan can do things according to the requirements of the imperial court, at a certain time, it is completely okay to give Jia Jihan power.
Huang Taiji once considered letting Jia Jihan fully preside over the affairs of the intelligence network, but this idea was denied by Huang Taiji himself, after all, there are too many interests involved in the intelligence network, if such an important matter is completely entrusted to a Han person, it is impossible for the Manchu nobles to be completely assured, plus there is a lesson from Fan Wencheng in front of him, and it is even more necessary to pay attention to dealing with such a thing.
Tan Tai has been in charge of the intelligence network for so long, but he has never been very shrewd, Tan Tai used to charge and fight on the battlefield, and it was difficult for a strong man to let a brave military general preside over the work of the intelligence network, and it was already very good to be able to do it to the point where he is now.
However, Tan Tai's advantages are also very prominent, that is, generosity, the relationship with Jia Jihan is handled very well, and he does not disdain to snatch Jia Jihan's credit, some things are Jia Jihan's attention, Tan Tai will say it straightforwardly when he reports, which also allows Jia Jihan to let go and do things.
"Okay, I think Jia Jihan thinks very well, Tan Tai, what do you think about this matter."
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Jia Jihan's suggestion is very good, if this can be done, the situation in Liaodong will definitely be turbulent, so that my Great Qing Kingdom can seize the opportunity to conquer Liaodong."
"Very good, since your opinions are all unanimous, I can start implementing this matter, but I think that this matter is very confidential, so it's good not to leak it out for the time being, you go directly to report to Haoge, and don't talk about the rest."
After leaving the Chongzheng Palace, Tan Tai and Jia Jihan turned their heads to report the incident to Huang Taiji Haoge.
On the way back, Tan Tai kept frowning, and Jia Jihan beside him explained in a low voice.
"My lord, the reason why the emperor asked for secrecy is probably because of the fact that there are many adults, and their opinions may not be able to be unified, besides, many adults believe that intelligence matters are indiscriminate means, which is unacceptable, and if the emperor's opinions are leaked out, it will definitely cause some controversy, and the emperor is unwilling to have such a situation."
Tan Tai nodded, this was what he was thinking about.
Tan Tai is from Zhenghuangqi, and absolutely supports the decision made by Huang Taiji, whether it can be understood or not, he used to fight in the army, and he didn't need to think about so many things, but after engaging in intelligence network matters, the situation is different, many things need to be considered in detail, and the ins and outs need to be figured out, so that it is easy to make accurate judgments, and Huang Taiji also requires this.
Several times, Tan Tai put forward suggestions to Huang Taiji, suggesting that Jia Jihan preside over the affairs of the intelligence network and return to Zhenghuangqi to fight, but Huang Taiji did not agree to this suggestion, and then Tan Tai also understood that the impact of the intelligence network on the Qing Dynasty is very large, and it must be presided over by the Manchus, and the Han people are not good, even if Jia Jihan enters the imperial court to do other things, such as being the official secretary of the Han people, it is okay, but he cannot preside over the affairs of the intelligence network.
It was from this consideration that Tan Tai began to slowly delve into the mysteries of intelligence, but unfortunately, this kind of study will not be able to see obvious results for a while. (To be continued......)
