In the Dazheng Hall of Shenyang's Dajin Palace, there were red candles all around.
Under the dim candlelight, Huang Taiji, Haoge, and Jierhalang sat around the fire.
At this time, there was no hierarchy, only the conversation between father, son, and brother.
As the expedition was about to begin, Huang Taiji summoned Jierhalang to inquire about the two blue flags.
These were the two flags that made Huang Taiji the most worried.
There were only five blue-flag Niulu controlled by Jierhalang, so the emperor Taiji called Jierhalang to ask.
The result was not what Huang Taiji had expected.
The two blue banners were under the command of Amin, Mang Gurtai and their cronies.
The subordinate bannermen were very dissatisfied with the Khan.
Jierharan did not dare to hide them all.
The emperor Of course Taiji comforted him with gentle words, and also invited his eldest son Hauge, who was close to Jierhalang, to accompany him.
"King Khan, Han minister Li Yongfang has been ordered to appear before you."
A palace guard knelt down.
"Let him come in."
Huang Taiji raised his hand.
"King Khan, it's getting late.
King Khan will rest here.
His subordinates bow to the King in farewell."
Jirharang stepped forward and knelt down.
"Don't worry, Jierhalang, this matter is also related to you, please listen to it."
Huang Taiji ordered.
"As ordered."
Jierhalang replied respectfully.
"Li Yongfang, it has been two years.
Since Tieshan's defeat, King Gu asked you to investigate the Ming generals who defeated our army in Tieshan.
Now King Gu still has not heard the details of this Ming people."
After Li Yongfang entered the main hall and knelt down to worship, Huang Taiji asked Li Yongfang that this was a thorn in his heart.
"King Rong Bing, the whereabouts of this Ming people are secretive.
I mobilized people everywhere to investigate in Shandong and other places in the Ming Dynasty, but there was no news at all.
I even sold my property and hired a dental dealer in the Ming Dynasty to find out, but there was no news.
Until a few months forward After Mao Wenlong was killed, he got the news from Pidao.
They were not Ming soldiers but Ming people who occupied Jeju Island.
They were descendants of the Ming people in Luzon.
They had a fleet of dozens of large ships and thousands of strong soldiers.
"Li Yongfang Take a peek at Huang Taiji.
Seeing Huang Taiji frowning.
Looking directly at him, he finally understood, "They pretended to be the Ming army and arrived at Tieshan because they were going to Tieshan for tens of thousands of people.
Unexpectedly, they happened to meet the soldiers of the second Baylor.
Then the war broke out. " In fact, Li Yongfang knew the news several months ago, but the information was too rough.
He was afraid that Huang Taiji would blame him, and wanted to investigate more before reporting.
It's just that this Mingren is on the island, and he can't detect it no matter what.
"So, they didn't ambush our army, but encountered us suddenly."
Huang Taiji asked doubtfully.
"King Khan Shengming, they not only fought for Dingkou in Tieshan, but also exchanged rice grains with the islands of the Dongjiang River for Liao people.
King Khan, what the servant said is true."

Li Yongfang kept kowtowing, and his forehead immediately became red and swollen.
"Then why are they so powerful that they can compete with our army in a field battle?"
Huang Taiji asked.
"I only know a little bit about it.
This group of Ming people learned the power of artillery, guns, and battle formations from the Francoisians.
In addition, before the battle with Er Baile, they covered the front of the formation with debris, which surprised me.
The Jin Iron Cavalry was unable to attack and had to fight on foot, so they won by chance."
Li Yongfang kowtowed.
Huang Taiji nodded, yes, this Ming people used tricks to prevent the Dajin cavalry from entering the battle, and then they won the battle on foot, but this Ming people were quite fierce.
After all, the Jurchens are famous all over the world for their infantry battles.
They were still defeated, and they were indeed powerful enemies.
"Li Yongfang, no matter what.
I will entrust all the military information of the Ming Dynasty to you.
You, a slave, have not completed the task entrusted by me.
Well, you will be punished for one year.
Continue to explore the military information of the Ming Dynasty.
If you are negligent, you will be severely punished.
"Huang Taiji scolded.
"I obey the order, and I will do my best."
Li Yongfang felt relieved.
Fortunately, after passing this level, I really feel that accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.
This Mingren is a thorn in Huang Taiji's heart.
Although he does not know all of it today, he knows most of it.
Now that he knows that this Mingren is hiding in Jeju and does not belong to the Ming Dynasty, and has a weakness of being afraid of cavalry battles, Huang Taiji I finally let go of the last knot in my mind.
After Li Yongfang left, Jierharang knelt down and worshiped on the ground, "King Khan, my slave was defeated and retreated from Tieshan two years ago.
The losses were huge.
This is my fault.
Please punish me, King Khan."
"Get up," Huang Taiji gave him a help, "I have observed that in the Three Kingdoms of the Ming Dynasty, victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists.
Back then, you and others encountered unforeseen events and were unaware of the enemy's situation.
Occasionally small defeats were common.
I have already demoted you and punished you.
No, If you continue to pursue it, get up."
Jierhalang then stood up and thanked him.
What Li Yongfang and the Khan King said just now were all about the iron mountain war.
Jierhalang could not cover his ears even if his face was as thick as a city wall.
He pretended to be ignorant and it was inevitable to apologize.
At the beginning of this day, Huang Taiji led Daishan, Amin, Manggurtai, Ajige, Dorgon, Duoze, Abatai, Degelei, Yuetuo, Jierhalang, Shuotuo The other belles worshiped their ancestors at the Ancestral Temple, offering the heads of the Ming army and various sacrifices, hoping that their ancestors would bless the victory.
In the martial arts field in Shenyang City, the armored soldiers of the two yellow flags were fully clothed with bright helmets.
Huang Taiji inspected the military formation on horseback, and in front of the formation, he counted the various crimes committed by the Ming Dynasty against the Jurchens.
Of course, most of them were framed. , and then ordered the troops to be sent to the Ming Dynasty amidst the cheers of the crowd.
The so-called unjust conquest gave this conquest a cloak of justice.
Huang Taiji led a large group of troops to march northwest along the Liaohe River Valley.
Along the way, they merged with the elite soldiers of various banners who arrived one after another, and finally gathered into an army that stretched for more than dozens of miles.
They drove Duoyan with majesty and murderous intent.

In the upper reaches of the Xilamulun River, soldiers from the Aohan tribe, Naiman tribe and other Mongolian foreign vassals gathered.
Then dozens of Horqin tribesmen led nearly ten thousand people to meet, and the whole army entered Duoyan.
At this time, the most ironic situation appeared.
The Duoyan Guards, who had been the northern barrier of Ji Town for two hundred years in the Ming Dynasty, led more than 3,000 ethnic soldiers by their leaders Subudi and Seleng to join Huang Taiji's army.
At this point, the Mongolian strategy that Nurhaci and Huang Taiji and their son had been running for more than 20 years was a great success.
Most of eastern Mongolia fell under Huang Taiji's command and joined the Ming Dynasty.
There are more than 20,000 Eight Banners armored soldiers and bannermen, more than 4,000 Han troops, more than 5,000 inner Mongolian soldiers, more than 6,000 coated slaves, and more than 20,000 outer vassal Mongolian soldiers, a total of 70,000 huge troops.
Drive north of Ji Town.
This is the most powerful army that has appeared in Duoyan since Emperor Yongle conquered Mongolia.
However, unlike Emperor Yongle stepping out of the Great Wall, their destination is the wealthy capital within the Ming Dynasty Great Wall.
Just as they were approaching the Great Wall of Ji Town, the three great Beile, including Daishan, Amin, and Mang Gurtai, suddenly said that it was easy to break through the barrier, but the Ming Dynasty had hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
If they attacked with all their strength, the Jurchen army would be trapped.
If we fight hard and suffer heavy losses, we might as well retreat and return, and so on.
Huang Taiji immediately summoned all the Baylors to discuss the matter.
"Ministers of Baylor, please tell me whether you are aware of the situation or not."
Huang Taiji looked around and then said.
"Everyone, the border gate of the Ming Dynasty is approaching.
It is not difficult to break through it.
However, if we go deep into the hinterland of the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty will definitely order the emperor to serve the king.
The army of the Ming Dynasty is hundreds of thousands.
Ben Beile is deeply afraid that our army will fall into a bitter battle.
We, the Jin Dynasty, have few people and will be defeated.
We can't afford the loss.
What do you think of Belle, if our army returns immediately after attacking Ji Town and doesn't give Ming soldiers a chance to encircle them?"
Mang Gurtai said loudly.
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the big tent.
What Mang Gurtai said was not unreasonable.
After all, it was Dajin's first time to break through the barrier and enter the Ming Dynasty.
It was really hard to say what might happen inside.
Although the Jurchen nobles were very confident in the combat power of their Eight Banners Army, anything could happen if the troops were fierce and deep behind enemy lines.
This dispatch of troops was unavoidable.
First, Huang Taiji ascended the throne for the first time.
The Ningjin War strategically destroyed Yuan Chenghuan's attempt to establish a defensive front in western Liaoning and besiege Daijin step by step.
Yuan Chenghuan spent all his money and food to build ten large and small Linghe and other The remaining castle was destroyed, and all the people were captured and taken back to Dajin as slaves.
However, the middle and lower classes of the Jurchens believed that the Ningjin War did not capture Ningyuan and Jinzhou, did not open the passage to the Ming Dynasty, and did not plunder money or acres of land.
Compared with the time of the old Khan, Huang Taiji was of course much inferior.
His prestige is quite low, so Huang Taiji must do some meritorious deeds to consolidate his throne.
Second, there is a severe drought in Liaodong this year, and the already exhausted finances are even more stretched.
If there is no big revenue this year, the spring and summer next year may be difficult, and the Jurchen nobles and Han army slaves will be dissatisfied.
Therefore, this war is inevitable.
Hauge knows this truth clearly.
He also knows that the three Baylors are also aware of this.
This attack is just for their own ulterior motives.
In particular, Daishan has always kept his power secret, but this time he and the other two launched an attack at this time.
This was for their own selfish interests to suppress the prestige of their father Khan.

They were afraid that once the Ming Dynasty won a victory, the prestige of his father Khan would greatly increase.
All the Baile agreed.
The system of state affairs no longer existed, and they lost their transcendent status as equals to their father Khan.
Hauge was anxious and was about to explode, but Huang Taiji stopped him with stern eyes.
"Three Beile's words are totally wrong."
As soon as he said this, everyone turned around and found that the person who spoke was actually Amin's younger brother Jirharang.
Although it is well known that the two of them are at odds with each other, they have always been fine on the surface and have not made others laugh.
However, this time Jierharang got angry in public.
"Our army has always been invincible in field battles with the Liao Town army of the Ming Dynasty.
Liao Town is the most powerful among the nine frontier armies of the Ming Dynasty.
The other Ming army troops are even more weak.
Even if our army encounters a large Ming army, Can also be used in field battles If we break it, as long as we don't attack the fortress and the city will be severely damaged, what can the Ming Dynasty do to me?
This is the time to seize the money and grain for my use.
How can we retreat and waste all our previous efforts?
"Jirharang's words are meaningful and resonant, which makes people laugh. convince.
"Ji Erhalang's words make sense.
Since our army took control of Liaoshen, we have been victorious against the Ming army.
How can we avoid fighting like this?
Doing so will lose military morale."
Yue Tuo stood up to respond. road.
Then, Azig, Abatai and others also echoed, and the main fighting faction gained momentum.
The three Baylors were alone.
Daishan sighed in his heart.
Huang Taiji was already in power, and now he could only hope that Zhengming would not go his way.
"Now that the big policy has been decided, the lonely king ordered Mang Gurtai and Azige to lead the Zhenglan Banner and Liangbai Banner troops to attack Longjing Pass in Ji Town.
If they break through the pass and enter, they will go straight to Zunhua."
There was no need to speak for himself, so he let the three Big Belle's defeat put Huang Taiji in a good mood.
For the first time, he did not ask the three people for their advice and gave orders directly.
"I obey the order."
Mang Gurtai and Azige stepped forward to respond. s: Thank you to Colorless Passion 588 for the reward, and thank you to friends who have silently subscribed to reward and recommend.
