Chapter 1 Tripartite Talks (III)

However, Obai himself knew that it was impossible to gain freedom with his current strength, so he placed all his hope on the monarch Huang Taiji, who was loyal to him, hoping that he could think of him, a young general who lived and died for him.

At this time, Obai was just a small person. If it weren't for Murima's eagerness to save his brother, he would have caused a big battle and changed the entire situation, Huang Taiji might not have paid any attention to such a young general with a not-so-prominent reputation.

Although Murima's request was approved by Huang Taiji, what Huang Taiji was concerned about was not Oboi's life and death. What he cared about was Dorgon, who was chased by Na Ge all the way to the desert thousands of miles west.

In fact, Huang Taiji was both guarding against Dorgon in his heart, but he also valued Dorgon very much. If none of his descendants could bear the promising king who could afford to continue the reign of the Great Jin Dynasty, Huang Taiji would rather pass the Khan throne to Dorgon after his death. This is Huang Taiji's deep thought, and he has never revealed it to anyone, and even the closest person does not know.

Although Haoge is the eldest son, he is too stingy and cannot tolerate talented people. He is not a talent for succession kings. He originally hoped that the concubines would give birth to more sons for themselves and choose one of them to cultivate a king. Unfortunately, he has not found any son who can inherit his throne.

Nurhaci liked Dorgon the most during his lifetime. Because Dorgon looked the most like him, he made Dorgon the king before his death. However, Dorgon was young, but Huang Taiji suddenly stood out like a comet and succeeded to the throne as a great khan. It was precisely because Nurhaci suddenly died suddenly that Dorgon did not cultivate Dorgon, and Huang Taiji's political skills were already the first among the brothers. Moreover, at this time, the political groups of the Later Jin Dynasty believed that choosing Huang Taiji was much better than Dorgon, because they did not have so much time to wait for Dorgon to grow up, and in order to avoid civil strife, they chose to compromise. However, they did not expect that although Huang Taiji had never been revealed before, he suddenly showed his talent and strategy after he ascended the throne, which shocked and impressed everyone in the Later Jin Dynasty. This made the Later Jin fight with Huang Taiji. The power originally belonged to Dorgon was naturally seized by Huang Taiji.

Although Huang Taiji secretly guarded against Dorgon's brothers after he ascended the throne, he still valued Dorgon very much on the surface and gave many rewards. In this way, Huang Taiji could unite the brothers with him as the leader, constantly expand his territory, and achieve the current situation of the Dajin.

Human nature is selfish, and Huang Taiji is actually very contradictory in his heart. If Dorgon dies, then Nurhaci and the foundation he built for the Jin Dynasty will be passed down from generation to generation. But if Dorgon is not dead, he can have the opportunity to come back alive without any harm. If Dorgon really wants to replace him, no one can object in the first place, because the Khan position was originally his, and it is natural to give it to him now. But if this is the case, the sons he gave birth to, like Haoge, who are determined to win the position of the king, may not have a good end in the end.

If Dorgon had not been chased by that, perhaps Huang Taiji would not have considered so much now, for such a long time, but it has happened now. Huang Taiji had to make the worst plan. What consequences would Dorgon die to the Dajin?

The suspicion of the brothers and the ownership of the Zhengbai Banner became a headache, so Huang Taiji was very upset and sent Duoduo to search westward. No news has been heard so far.

Zhu Yinglong is also extremely concerned about Dorgon's whereabouts. Zhu Yinglong's feelings for Dorgon have always been very complicated. From the bottom of his heart, Dorgon's generous and straightforwardness is a person worthy of his gratitude, and Dorgon's military and political talents are very admirable. This is a talent, but unfortunately the possibility of using it for himself is almost zero. If such a person continues to stay with Huang Taiji, with his wisdom and ability, he will definitely become his right-hand man to expand his territory. The conflict between Dorgon and Huang Taiji destined that he and Huang Taiji would not be able to wear a pair of pants in the end. There may be no unfair intentions now, but once Dorgon becomes stronger, he will inevitably not have a big ambition. Fortunately, Huang Taiji died early in history and did not give Dorgon the opportunity to rebel, but now history has changed. If Dorgon returns to Huang Taiji, what would be the result?

No matter how you think or do it, everything will have to be found until you find Dorgon.

The Ming Dynasty was full of talents, and there were several special talents who were good at tracking in the "Shadow". Therefore, Zhu Yinglong specially ordered two tracking masters to be transferred from Zhou Wenyuan's hands, and followed a small team of special soldiers to enter the northwest desert after Duoduo, looking for Dorgon's traces.

Under the temptation of Huang Taiji returning tribal property, cattle and sheep, and larger and more abundant grasslands, many tribes in Chahar Mongolia quietly formed relationships with the Later Jin Dynasty. In addition, Lin Danhan was seriously ill at this time, these tribes took advantage of the unstable heart of the Chahar Mongolians and quietly led the entire tribe to Huang Taiji's arms.

As they said, Huang Taiji was basically fulfilled. Now more small tribes or individual families fled one after another, and the population of Chahar Mongolia dropped sharply by one third. Less than 120,000 people in Ulanqab were left in the capital.

The road is a long way to know the horsepower, and people's hearts are seen over time. After Lin Danhan's serious illness, he seemed to understand a lot of things. Therefore, he ignored those tribes who sold themselves to the enemy and turned a blind eye to them. This is the family matter. Although Man Gui knew this fact, he was not easy to interfere too much. Fortunately, after Lin Danhan woke up, the tribes that had not yet made up their minds to leave suddenly became quiet, and the strength of Chahar Mongolia suddenly dropped to the lowest point in history.

The first thing Lin Danhan had after waking up was to establish the fact that Ezhe was his heir, which made Namuzhong's status suddenly decline. Some people who had some fantasies about the dragon seeds in Namuzhong's belly turned against him and threw themselves into Su Tai and Ezhe's arms.

After establishing Ezhe as his heir, Lin Danhan temporarily handed over the military and political affairs of Chahar Mongolia to Su Tai and his son for the sake of recuperation and training Ezhe. At the same time, in order to avoid rejecting dissidents, Namu Zhong also asked Namu Zhong to supervise the government. At this time, the four major Sangzai were divided into three factions, one faction supported Su Tai, Ezhe and his son, the other faction stood on Namu Zhong's side, and the other faction remained neutral.

Supporting Su Tai, Ezhe and his son are two Dasangzai, Deyan Jiwang and Donikuruke, and beside Namuzhong is Garma Dasangzai, and those who remain neutral are Dorjidar Hannoyan.

The generals of Wanhu and various departments, Taiji, also have their own support objects or remain neutral, and only loyal to Lin Dankhan. Lin Dankhan's move caused great turmoil within Chahar Mongolia, which was originally unstable.

When Zhu Yinglong received the news, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood Lin Danhan's thoughts. He was quitting his job, and was venting his resentment towards the Ming Dynasty. Thinking of this, Zhu Yinglong felt that Lin Danhan was really angry and funny. At this time, he could do such a childish thing. How could he look like a king of a country?

In fact, this is also a disguised defeat to Daming. However, he cannot hold back his face and cannot lower his arrogant head. Giving power to Ezhe is actually just giving himself a step and saving some of his face.

Although Ezhe's decision represents his decision, the order was issued by Ezhe, not Hisin Dan, so he hid behind the scenes and became more flexible and mobile. This move seemed to inspire the contradictions within Chahar Mongolia, but in fact it was also a kind of political wisdom that retreated to advance.

But how many people in this world can see Lin Danhan’s inner thoughts clearly? Huang Taiji is one, and Zhu Yinglong is naturally also because they are all of the same level. In this position, they are the ones who can best understand and figure out the psychology of people who are in the same position as themselves. Otherwise, what if they say that those who know themselves best are their opponents or enemies?

These days, Taisong also learned that her husband sent troops to rescue his brother from Huang Taiji's pursuit. When Zhu Yinglong stayed overnight in Changchun Palace, Taisong was as enthusiastic as fire, extremely gentle as he could, and was happy with the meaning of the song.

It was soon in early June of the fifth year of Chongzhen. Huang Taiji had gathered nearly 200,000 troops to approach Ulanqab, and Lin Danhan had only less than 60,000 troops left. In addition, Ketu Khan had only 80,000 troops. The newly defeated army was depressed and his morale was not the opponent of Huang Taiji's great victory. If Man Gui had not led 15,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry and 20,000 Mongolian New Cavalry, and the 20,000 cavalry of the Erlinchen tribe, a total of more than 55,000 people were stationed in Ulanqab, which made Huang Taiji worry and maintained a temporary truce.

More than 200,000 troops, the food and food and drinks of the day are astronomical figures. Although the Later Jin Dynasty has a lot of national strength, it has a weak foundation and is not very rich in its family background. Therefore, the Later Jin Dynasty has always been quick to fight against foreign wars, and it is impossible to afford a war of attrition.

Moreover, at this time, many generals of the Later Jin Dynasty also believed that if the battle continues, they would only lose both sides. In the end, they would gain the advantage of the Ming Dynasty for nothing. Therefore, they advocated not to annihilate the Lin Dankhan tribe of Chahar Mongol. Anyway, with Lin Dankhan's current strength, they no longer have the ability to threaten the safety of the Great Jin Kingdom. Lin Dankhan is not a willing person to surrender. If the Great Jin makes some concessions, Lin Dankhan will not devote himself to the Ming Dynasty. In this way, at least a buffered Chahar Mongol existence can retain a certain amount of the Ming Dynasty's troops between the Ming Dynasty and the Great Jin Dynasty, which can also contain a certain amount of the Ming Dynasty's troops.

Even Jirhalang suggested taking the opportunity to go north, conquering the three Khalkha Mongol tribes in the northern desert, strengthening the strength of the Jin Kingdom, and then striving for the full effort to conquer the Ming Dynasty!

This is a heart-warming suggestion, but if we cannot conquer Chahar Mongolia or reach some agreement, the newly occupied Chahar Mongolia area will face continuous encroachment by Lin Danhan until all lost land is recovered. Unless he does not want this place, it will become a war quagmire with the help of the Ming Dynasty. This is not what Huang Taiji wants to see.

In war, the Great Jin Kingdom was not afraid, but this would delay the Great Jin Kingdom's strategy of attacking all directions. The best way was to eliminate and annex the Chahar Mongolian tribes in one fell swoop. Huang Taiji did not want to do anything, but now there was one more side. Even if he had absolute strength, he would not dare to act rashly.

During this battle, Huang Taiji deliberately brought Fan Wencheng by his side to plan for him. When encountering such an undecided and difficult to decide, the first thing Huang Taiji thought of was this resourceful Han official.

Fan Wencheng really lived up to Huang Taiji's expectations, and gave Huang Taiji three suggestions: First, anyway, the Ming Dynasty might intervene in this battle, and although the results of the battle are not ideal, they are still pretty good. At least the Later Jin Dynasty has obtained a large amount of population wealth and cattle and sheep, achieving the strategic goal of weakening Chahar Mongolia. Therefore, if a olive branch is sent to Chahar Mongolia at this time, if Lin Danhan is unwilling to be controlled by the Ming Dynasty, he will agree to negotiate peace with the Dajin. Second, return the occupied territory of the general Chahar Mongolia to Lin Danhan, which is undoubtedly the lord of a country who is now living under someone else's roof.

It is a huge temptation. With this, there is no need to worry that Lin Danhan will not be moved. Third, when negotiating conditions with Chahar Mongolia, Daming cannot let Daming know a little news, otherwise peace talks will not be completed. However, once the peace talks are reached, the Ming Dynasty needs to come forward. As long as the Ming Dynasty recognizes this contract, then the Ming Dynasty cannot take Dajin in the future. If the Ming Dynasty does not recognize it, that would be fine. There will be a rift between Chahar Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the initiative will still be in the hands of Dajin. Three strategies seem to have suffered a great loss and return the land it has captured to others. But in fact, this is the Later Jin exchange for its own initiative with a regression.

This move is really extremely clever. If Huang Taiji is done, then the Ming Dynasty will be a little passive.

But Huang Taiji was smart and Lin Danhan was not stupid. Huang Taiji passed the conditions for resolute peace to his ears through some suggestive channels, and the conditions were still the kind that he had no reason to refuse. He became alert. There must be an unusual conspiracy here. Huang Taiji could not be so kind for no reason. If something abnormal is wrong, he must be a demon. When dealing with Huang Taiji, he must be very energetic and be careful.

Although Lin Danhan did not disclose any information to the outside world and did an extremely careful job of keeping the secret, the secret peace talks between the Later Jin and Chahar still made the Ming intelligence personnel noticed it. When Man Gui received this information, the secret envoy of the Later Jin had had several contacts with Lin Danhan. Although Huang Taiji believed that the conditions he offered were sufficient, for a defeated person, Lin Dan was fearless and desperately increased the price, so naturally the two sides could not reach an agreement.

Lin Danhan knew that negotiating with the Later Jin behind the back might anger the Ming Dynasty. You should know that if the Ming Dynasty had not sent troops to rescue him at a critical moment, there would be no Chahar Mongolia at this moment. Therefore, the Later Jin secretly asked him to negotiate peace with him, which clearly showed that he was uneasy and had a crack between the Chahar Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he increased the price again and again, and did not give in. The purpose was to get greater benefits for himself. At the same time, he also hoped that the Ming Dynasty could detect the conspiracy of the Later Jin Dynasty. After all, the Ming Dynasty is more reliable now, but he was just a little lucky.
