【Chapter 711】Nurhachi is not calm
(0711) Liaodong, east of Quang Ninh Province, Zhenwu Fort. 【】
Nurhachi was in a bad mood. The recitals from Amin were delivered to him one after another. It was at this time that his mood began to deteriorate. Everything that was planned was interrupted by Amin, as well as the white-clothed army that suddenly appeared. For this reason, Nurhachi had to give an order to temporarily stop the attack on Quang Ninh.
The news of the arrival of the white-clothed army made Nurhachi feel that he had encountered a strong opponent, and he had to re-examine the strategy of the entire Dajin Kingdom. Perhaps Amin himself has not realized the significance of the appearance of the white-clothed army in Liaodong, but Nurhachi does. The white-clothed army is determined to recover Liaodong! Even Xu Xingxia personally ran over to reconnoitre. In several successive battles between the White Army and the Dajin Army, the White Army was scouting the combat effectiveness of the Dajin Army.
For Xu Xingxia's actions, Nurhachi boiled down to reconnaissance, not temptation. There's a reason for that. If it's a temptation and you find that the situation is not right, you may not come. If you want to scout, you have made up your mind and must come. In other words, the white-clothed army will definitely enter Liaodong and will definitely recover Liaodong. This also means that between the Dajin Army and the White Army, there is no room for maneuver at all. Because, it is impossible for the Dajin Army to give up Liaodong. Only when one side is completely defeated and the situation of confrontation between them can be resolved.
After receiving the report from Amin, Nurhachi felt that his rear was beginning to be unsafe. If he continues to attack Quang Ninh, it is very likely that his rear will collapse. The appearance of the white-clothed army seriously threatened Liaoyang and Shenyang. In the event of an attack on Liaoyang and Shenyang, the consequences will be severe. The families of the high-level officials of Dajin Kingdom have moved to these two cities one after another. After all, winter is coming, and it's much warmer and safer to stay in a sturdy building in a big city than in a tent in Hetuala.
Why is Nurhachi so sensitive and thinks that the white-clothed army can threaten Liaoyang and Shenyang? Not because of the capture of his son Babuhai, but because of the loss of a few cattle under the blue flag. Nurhachi knew very well that Amin had a grudge against him. His father was killed by himself, and as a son, he must be uncomfortable inside. Therefore, the relationship between Amin and Nurhachi has not been very harmonious. It was only because of the overall needs of the development of the Dajin Kingdom and because of common interests that the two did not clash.
Amin is a very strong person. For the sake of his own face, he will not easily admit his defeat. Many times, even if a tooth is knocked out, it will swallow blood. Now, he has reported the loss of five cattle records, and estimates that this number will only be less and not more. In other words, the loss of the blue flag may be seven or eight cows. Such a loss is definitely very rare in the history of the Dajin Kingdom. Especially under the hands of the titan Amin.
Today, the high-level leaders of the Dajin Kingdom were all summoned by Nurhachi to discuss countermeasures. The meeting took place in the camp east of Zhenwu Fort. Here, the Dajin army concentrated more than 20,000 troops, ready to sweep through the outskirts of Quang Ninh Province and conquer the city of Quang Ninh in one fell swoop. But now, the military mission must be put aside for the time being.
Except for the eldest son Chu Ying, who was killed by Nurhachi's own hands, and the second son Daishan stayed in Shenyang and did not appear, Nurhachi's other sons were all present. Abai, Tanggu, Mang Gurtai, Tabai, Abatai, Huang Taiji, Babutai, and Derge are lined up. The eldest, Abai, was thirty-three years old. The youngest Derg was only twenty-two years old. They all took off their heavy armor and breathed a sigh of relief.
In addition to Nurhachi's sons, Zilharang was also present at the meeting. He is Amin's own brother and a good friend of Huang Taiji, and he is also liked by Nurhachi. Zilharang, who is only nineteen years old, has little affection for his biological father, Shulhaqi. Therefore, although Shulhaqi was killed by Nurhachi, Zilharang is still in the same vein as Nurhachi, and the relationship is very close, almost like Nurhachi's own son.
Chu Ying's eldest son, Du Du, is also among them. After Chu Ying was killed by Nurhachi, his two sons were not implicated and still inherited the power of their father's lineage. As Chu Ying's eldest son, Du Du became the owner of the white flag at a young age. Although it is said that in the shadow of Nurhachi, the power of the white flag owner is not particularly great. However, the position of the flag owner, after all, is very dazzling, very eye-catching, and very jealous.
Because, Nurhachi himself has two banner lord positions. There are only six remaining flag master positions. Who doesn't love such a rare location? The power of the banner lord is not only reflected in the march and fighting, but more importantly, in the distribution of the spoils of war. The looted property of the Dajin army was generally to be distributed publicly. If you have the opportunity to become the banner owner, you will undoubtedly benefit a lot when distributing the spoils.
On such an occasion, Nurhachi's most important five ministers were naturally also present. The five ministers were Fei Yingdong, Eyidu, He Heli (also translated as He Heli, Nurhachi's eldest son-in-law), Hu Erhan, and An Feiyangu. They were all a little older, and their health was not very good, which was in stark contrast to the young people present. They all sat very close to Nurhachi, closer than his sons. In doing so, Nurhachi showed his respect for them.
In addition, Yang Guli, Leng Geli and others also attended the meeting. They are also all old courtiers around Nurhachi, and important high-level meetings must be indispensable. This time, Nurhachi led the army to attack Quang Ninh Province, and the high-level leaders of the Dajin Kingdom almost poured out. In this way, there is no need to find another place at all, and you can directly hold a meeting on the front line to solve the problem.
Originally, Nurhachi's younger brother Murhaqi was also supposed to be present. He was the vanguard of the attack on Quang Ninh. Every time the Dajin Army goes out, Murhazy likes to act as a striker, take the lead, open roads in the mountains, and build bridges in the water, and this time is no exception. But his body suddenly had an accident yesterday, and the witch doctor said that he was infected with wind and cold, and he had to return to Liaoyang to recuperate in advance.
Murhazy is also old, and this time he fell ill, and it is estimated that he will never have the opportunity to go to the battlefield in the future. This made Nurhachi's originally bad mood even worse. His relationship with Murhazy is still very close. After Shulhazi's death, Nurhachi cherished his relationship with his other brothers even more.
The young Zilharang read out all the reports sent by Amin. He spoke very slowly, with occasional pauses in between, in order to give everyone present enough time to comprehend the various news mentioned in the report. In fact, in private, everyone here already knows the general situation.
"Let's talk about it." Nurhachi straightened up and said quietly.
As the lord of the Dajin Kingdom, Nurhachi certainly can't reveal his preferences. He wants everyone in the room to fully express their opinions, and then he chooses the one that is most in line with the actual situation. The rise of the Dajin Kingdom is inseparable from this kind of "boiling" decision-making. Under normal circumstances, Nurhachi is not too arbitrary.
Mang Gurtai takes the lead in every meeting. His surname is reckless and impulsive, and he doesn't care about the consequences of doing things, as long as he is happy and revenge, he feels refreshed. He is the third of the four Baylors, and he has always been unconvinced by Amin, who is the second in line. In fact, his relationship with Amin has never been good. may be because the two of them are brave generals, the competition is fierce, and no one is convinced. Every time we meet, we almost always have to fight.
Seeing that the opportunity to spoil Amin had come, Mang Gurtai immediately said: "This Amin is waste. I knew he couldn't. How many soldiers are there in white? It is said that there are only three hundred! How many people does he have with a blue flag? That's 3,000 people! Three hundred people defeated three thousand people, this Amin, it's really not his brain, was it kicked by the horse's hooves......"
He grabbed the gun and the stick, and criticized Amin fiercely, without showing any mercy. Listening to his tone, this Amin is simply the stupidest person in the world. Even if it's a pig, it's much more powerful than him. For such waste, the Dajin Army should have spit on it a long time ago. "I think let Amin get out of here as soon as possible, go back and hug his wife and have children! Don't be embarrassed! Such straightforward and sharp language can only be uttered by Mang Gurtai.
Although the language was very sharp, very straightforward, and full of repression, the people present did not feel very inappropriate. No way, Amin is indeed a bit outrageous this time. Such combat losses have never been seen in the history of the Dajin Army. In other words, there are thousands of people with blue flags, and there are also white flags and red flags to help, how can they lose to the white-clothed army like this? Even Amin himself said in the report that there were only about 300 white-clothed soldiers. A few thousand against three hundred people also lost, not a waste what?
Why did the Dajin Army have the right to despise the Ming Army? It was because the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was too poor. The Dajin army of a few hundred people can chase the Ming army of thousands, or even tens of thousands, everywhere. As long as the people present mentioned the Ming army in Liaodong, they would add the word "waste" in front of it. But now, it seems, it is the turn to add the word "waste" in front of the Daikin Army.
"This reckless Gurtai is just nonsense!" Huang Taiji couldn't help frowning, and there was obvious disgust at Mang Gurtai's words. He has always disliked the brave and unscrupulous Gurtai. Every time he saw Mang Gurtai's rude behavior, without thinking through his words, Huang Taiji would have a deep sense of disgust. At this moment, Mang Gurtai was there chaotic nozzles without using his brain, which made Huang Taiji's disgust for him even stronger.
