Chapter 922: The Old Trick Repeated

Abatai was the first county king of the Great Qing Kingdom to die under the command of the Zheng family, and the rest of the dead were Zu Zerun, the owner of the Yellow Banner of the Eight Banners of Khan, Liu Zhiyuan, the owner of the White Banner, Shi Tingzhu, the owner of the White Banner, Bayan, and Wu Shoujin, the owner of the Red Banner, and Geng Zhongming, the king of Huaishun, and what is even more terrifying is that the 150,000 Eight Banner Army led by Abatai stationed in Liaodong was killed to 120,000 people, including the Eight Banner Army stationed in Guangning, Yizhou and other places, which was less than 30,000 people.

This is an unbearable blow for Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji smelled a dangerous smell, which came from the Great Qing Kingdom.

Chongzhen nine years of the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, so far a full ten years, the initial establishment of the Qing Dynasty, as the sky, but with the rise of the Zheng Army, the Qing Dynasty embarked on a bumpy and difficult road, first of all, Liaonan gradually lost control, and then the Eight Banners Army into the customs fought several times suffered the blow of the Zheng Army, heavy losses, and now has become the only army of the Ming Dynasty Zheng Army, began to attack Liaodong, less than a month, the Eight Banners Army lost more than 120,000 people.

Don't think about it, Zheng Jiajun's next move is clear, that is, to attack the Liao River, once the Liao River is controlled by Zheng Jiajun, then Shenyang and Liaoyang and other places are in great danger.

Fifty-three-year-old Huang Taiji, feeling that he is really old, this bleak feeling, after the Liaodong war report came, became more and more intense, he did not convene the Manchurian nobles for the first time, at this time how much role is the discussion, these Manchurian nobles, what they think of is to fight and fight, and they have never thought about the future of the Qing Dynasty.

At this moment, Huang Taiji thought of Fan Wencheng.

When Fan Wencheng rushed to the Great Palace, his heart was also sad.

Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou have a good relationship, although the two have not been together for a long time.

Hong Chengchou is indeed knowledgeable. The overall temperament performance is also good, and he is a more prominent talent among the Han people, and in the Qing Dynasty, such Han people are very rare.

Fan Wencheng, as the first Han of the Qing Dynasty, was deeply valued by Huang Taiji, but it was a pity. The other Manchurian nobles were not so polite to him Fan Wencheng, and his wife was almost robbed by Prince Yu Duoduo, and it was precisely because of the grievances in his heart that Fan Wencheng was able to get along well with Hong Chengchou.

In fact, when Hong Chengchou had just returned to the Great Qing Kingdom, Fan Wencheng was very worried, afraid that Hong Chengchou would rob him of his scenery, but Fan Wencheng soon found that such a situation was impossible, and Huang Taiji did not believe Hong Chengchou at all. Speaking of which, Huang Taiji is also far-sighted, and the reason why he strongly persuades Hong Chengchou to return to obedience is just to attack the Ming Dynasty, and there is absolutely no intention of reusing Hong Chengchou.

Under the situation of sympathy, Fan Wencheng quickly walked in with Hong Chengchou, and then he found that Hong Chengchou was indeed capable.

It's a pity that this time, Hong Chengchou stayed in Ningyuan in Liaodong forever.

It is impossible for Fan Wencheng not to think about himself. The Eight Banners Army suffered a crushing defeat in Liaodong, with losses reaching 120,000 men. This is the most tragic defeat since the founding of the Great Qing Dynasty, and even since the beginning of the rise of the Later Jin Dynasty, what kind of failures will there be next, who can predict that the strength of the Zheng family army is afraid that the Eight Banners Army will not be able to stop it.

The purpose of the Huang Taiji's summons. Fan Wencheng knew very well that he wanted to find a respite for the Great Qing Kingdom at such a time of crisis, but this task was too difficult, and Zheng Xunrui was not Zhu Youzhen.

When I entered the main hall with my head open. For the first time, Fan Wencheng felt weakness and numbness in his scalp.

Huang Taiji's face was very bad, white with cyan, which showed that he was also stunned by the battle report of Liaodong.

After meeting Huang Taiji, Fan Wencheng stood below with his head bowed and did not take the initiative to speak.

"Wen Cheng, I came to you for the affairs of Liaodong, I regret the 128,000 Banner Army in Liaodong, and even more regret that I didn't listen to Hong Chengchou's words, I can't imagine that Zheng Xunrui's appetite is so big, I don't know what kind of person this Zheng Xunrui is, the Manchurians of my Great Qing Kingdom are brave and good at fighting, and have never been afraid of any difficulties, why meet this Zheng Xunrui, there is no way, I don't believe it, I want to meet this Zheng Xunrui in person, to see how powerful he is......"

Huang Taiji was a little out of control, his face showed a hint of redness, and he began to get excited when he spoke.

Fan Wencheng's body trembled slightly, he had never seen Huang Taiji have such a look, he didn't know how many difficulties and pressures he had encountered before, Huang Taiji was always calm and never lost his temper.

Perhaps sensing his own gaffe, Huang Taiji closed his eyes and stopped talking.

The main hall fell silent.

Fan Wencheng finally spoke with difficulty.

"The emperor must take care of the dragon's body, the Qing Kingdom cannot do without the support of the emperor......"

"Don't talk about this, I feel old and powerless, I remember that Zheng Xunrui, who was born in the forty-third year of Wanli, is only thirty years old so far, so young, why does he have the ability to shake the sky, I used to despise the heroes of the world, but when facing this Zheng Xunrui, I really dare not be arrogant......"

This time, Fan Wencheng didn't speak, he knew Huang Taiji's temper, he had been by Huang Taiji's side for so many years, and he also knew that Huang Taiji was talking from his heart at the moment, so he still didn't open his mouth to belittle Zheng Xunrui, and besides, this Zheng Xunrui is indeed powerful.

After Huang Taiji finished his emotion, he quickly got to the point.

"Wen Cheng, Zheng Xunrui personally led the army to conquer, the purpose is to think about destroying my Great Qing Kingdom, the battle of Liaodong, I have already felt a huge danger, today's Eight Banners Army, the total strength is only 200,000 people, of which the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of Mongolia are less than 120,000, although in terms of troops, including in terms of combat effectiveness, the Eight Banners Army is still the most courageous, but I just don't have the confidence I had in the past, you say, under the current situation, how should I deal with it, how should I deal with it."

Fan Wencheng felt a little bitter in his heart, he really didn't dare to open his mouth easily on such a major issue, even if Huang Taiji convened the Manchurian nobles to discuss, he would never have nothing to say, but what he didn't expect was that Huang Taiji actually did not convene the Manchurian nobles to discuss, but found him alone.

Fan Wencheng felt pathetic for himself, and also felt sad for Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji is indeed a generation of heroes, but unfortunately there are too few ministers around him, those who are full of nobles, it is indeed good to go to the battlefield to fight, but in terms of power and strategy, there is still a big gap, although Huang Taiji has an extremely outstanding ability, but a person can't think of so much.

He Fan Wencheng's knowledge is not high, in the Ming Dynasty, it is nothing at all, not to mention seeing the emperor, even if he sees the governor or the prefect, it is very good, but he is a Han man with low knowledge, and he has become the first adviser of Huang Taiji, which cannot but be said to be a great irony.

After being silent for a while, Fan Wencheng spoke.

"Your Majesty, the slave is bold."

"Say whatever you think, I forgive you for your innocence, I will discuss with you alone, it is for this reason that those Manchurian nobles are good to fight on the battlefield, but when it comes to scheming matters, it is really difficult for me to rely on them."

Fan Wencheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth and spoke.

"The slave thinks that for the sake of today's plan, it is better to find the Ming court to negotiate peace."

Huang Taiji shook his head slightly, with a wry smile on his face.

"I've thought about this a long time ago, not to mention the Manchurian nobles, that Zheng Xunrui, will he give me a chance for the Great Qing Kingdom, and besides, if the peace negotiation under such circumstances is made, even if Zheng Xunrui agrees, if the conditions put forward are too harsh, can I accept it, can the Great Qing Kingdom accept it."

Fan Wencheng was very helpless, but he still had to insist on his own opinion.

"The slave thinks that it is the best way to buy some time through peace, the emperor is right, this time the peace is completely different from before, Zheng Xunrui and the Ming court are afraid that they will put forward many harsh conditions, but as long as they agree to peace, everything is easy to say."

A soft sigh came, and Huang Taiji's voice also came.

"Wen Cheng, you are an expedient measure, if I were in Zheng Xunrui's position, I would definitely not agree, but now, there is only this expedient measure, I will ask you again, who will be sent as an envoy to negotiate peace."

This time, Fan Wencheng did not hesitate.

"The servant thinks that His Royal Highness Prince Li can take on this heavy responsibility."

When Dai Shan entered the Great Palace, the look on his face was also not good-looking, during this time, many Manchu nobles went to his mansion to complain, denouncing the defeat of the Eight Banners Army in Liaodong, even Dolgon and Duoduo and others, they were also quite complaining, which made Dai Shan very depressed.

As one of the four great Baylors of the year, Dai Shan taught Huang Taiji's methods, and also knew that Huang Taiji had a great talent, many Manchu noble complaints, Huang Taiji could not know, the reason why he did not endure is because now is a critical moment, the Manchus of the Great Qing Kingdom need a high degree of unity, and there can be no internal strife, otherwise the Great Qing Kingdom really has no hope, and the Manchus will not have any future.

Therefore, Dai Shan said some words of restraint when many Manchu nobles complained.

After receiving the holy decree, Dai Shan did not delay at all and immediately went to the main hall.

Dai Shan is already sixty-two years old, among the Manchus, this age is considered a high life, I don't know how many Manchus, died on the battlefield at a young age, more Manchus because of the harsh environment, died young, if it were not for the fight of his father Emperor Nurhachi, and the inheritance of Huang Taiji, let the Qing Dynasty set the capital of Shenyang, so that the lives of many Manchu nobles gradually settled down, I am afraid that he Daishan would not live to this age.

When I'm older, I want to be stable the most.

Only half an hour after entering the Dazheng Palace, Dai Shan left, and when he entered the Dazheng Palace, the expression on Dai Shan's face was peaceful, but when he left the Dazheng Palace, Dai Shan's face was iron-blue. (To be continued.) )
