Chapter 8 The Seal of Emperor Shun (3)
Dorgon lived a comfortable life at home for several months, and his beautiful wife and maid almost made people forget the once energetic Jurchen eagle. Perhaps after a huge change in life and death, he had become greedy for comfort and enjoyment. He was no longer the Dorgon who was on the battlefield and was full of vigor.
Although Dorgon and Wuyun Shandan's relationship has not reached the point of being as close as possible, it is much more harmonious than before. The number of times he spent the night in Wuyun Shandan's room has gradually increased. Dorgon's change of heart made Wuyun Shandan feel that his hardships for nearly half a year when Dorgon had no news were greatly rewarded. He served Dorgon more carefully, which moved Dorgon. Every time he was warm, Wuyun Shandan was greatly satisfied.
After being nourished by the man, the dark clouds and Shandan showed an amazing beauty, and every frown and smile exuded a seductive charm. Even Huang Taiji secretly regretted why he didn't bring this beauty into the palace before Dorgon came back. In this way, even if Dorgon came back, he could only have no choice but to marry another person. At most, it would be impossible for him to return it. If his wife becomes his sister-in-law, Dorgon would be so angry that he vomited blood and died of death!
However, Huang Taiji knew that he would never have the idea of Wuyun Shandan in this life. Even if Dorgon died, the one who was buried with him must be Wuyun Shandan!
Leng Yan is a unique existence in Dorgon's mansion. He is Dorgon's savior. In the mansion, no one can command him to move him except Dorgon and his wife. He is very low-key. He rarely leaves the mansion and usually stays in a small courtyard prepared by Dorgon for him. He specially recruits several Han women to serve him. Leng Yan spends most of the time meditating and practicing martial arts. He never asks about all matters of all sizes and big things in the mansion. Unless Dorgon asks about them, he always cherishes his words like gold.
Leng Yan's low-key approach not only made Huang Taiji unable to investigate his background and win over him, but also, after the defeat of Arsalan, many Jurchen masters wanted to challenge Leng Yan, hoping to defeat Leng Yan. Whether they wanted to cleanse the shame of the Jurchen warriors or make a name for themselves, they had no choice, because Leng Yan hid in Dorgon's mansion and could not come out, and no one could see him, so how could he talk about challenges? Although Dorgon fell in love with the loss of power, he was still Nurhaci's son and Huang Taiji's brother. These people naturally did not dare to go to Dorgon's mansion to make trouble. This also saved a lot of trouble. Over time, the trouble was eliminated.
In the past, although Dorgon's family could not be considered Ruoshi, he felt that it was not as deserted as it is now. Except for the two brothers who had close contact, the other brothers and nephews rarely walked around. Just when everyone thought that Dorgon had no chance to come back, Huang Taiji's decree shocked all the brothers and the nobles of the Later Jin Dynasty to the point of being at a loss!
Huang Taiji actually appointed Dorgon as the negotiation envoy and went to Ulanqab to hold peace talks with Chahar Mongolia again. The ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty knew that Chahar Mongolia was supported by the Ming Dynasty, and it was no longer realistic to destroy it. The continuous wars and conflicts made the limited finances of the Later Jin Dynasty unable to bear it. Therefore, the ceasefire and peace talks have long been the mainstream in the temple. However, this negotiation has always been bumpy and bumpy. If the Later Jin Dynasty takes the initiative to withdraw its troops, Chahar Mongolia will have to fight back and regain its own grassland.
The tribe, then the previous battle was meaningless, which was something that Huang Taiji himself, including the inner and outer Jin courts, would not want to see. This would also be a huge blow to Huang Taiji's prestige. Therefore, maintaining this stalemate stage in fact was a dilemma. Of course, it was not only Huang Taiji who wanted to negotiate peace, but also Lin Danhan needed it, but the Ming Dynasty did not need it. For the Ming Dynasty, the longer the battle was fought, the more beneficial it was to the Ming Dynasty. In the time, Chahar Mongolia would be tied to the Ming Dynasty's chariot, and it would be difficult to get off the car.
However, peace talks are a thankless thing. In nearly half a year, many officials were sent to the Later Jin Dynasty, but there was no substantial progress. On the contrary, thousands of people were killed and injured in the war and conflict between the two sides. Although the casualties were accumulated bit by bit, just like Lingchi. One or two swords could not kill anyone, but hundreds or thousands of swords would be damaged. If three thousand swords were cut, even if thousands of swords were cut, thousands of people would not be able to reach the foundation of the Later Jin Dynasty. However, at this rate of casualties, tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the Later Jin Dynasty would be dragged to death within three years.
As a king with strategic vision, Huang Taiji knew very well that the Ming Dynasty wanted to drag him to death on the Mongolian grassland. His sinister intention was so vicious, so even if he didn't want to reconcile, he had to reconcile now. It had been twice. The previous time was at the city of Jinzhou. The Ming Dynasty cleverly captured Jinzhou. The Daling River forced himself to sign an alliance under the city. This time it was the Ming Dynasty, which forced himself to reconcile with another old enemy. Now the Later Jin Dynasty is still weak, and he has no ability to chew the Ming Dynasty, a dead insect that is not dead yet, so he must digest the gains, strengthen his national strength, and then compete with the Ming Dynasty to dominate the world.
Dorgon was enough of the identity of the peace talks envoy, but Dorgon, a defeated general, led the peace talks, which was questioned by many noble ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty. Perhaps these people were too short-sighted and could not see the sinister intentions of the respected Khan of the Jin Tent. They kept advocating Huang Taiji and opposed the peace talks led by Dorgon and Chahar Mongolia.
Dorgon was shocked when he learned that he was about to take on the news of peace negotiations with Chahar Mongolia. But before that, Leng Yan told him the words Zhu Yinglong passed on to him without saying a word. Before he could digest the true meaning of the words, Aisin Gioro, Degele and Aisin Gioro, one was his brother, Lao Shi, and the other was his dear brother, Lao Shiwu. The two came together and informed him of the good news before Huang Taiji sent him to select the eunuch who read the order.
The death of Manguertai made Degele realize the cruelty of Huang Taiji. Although Manguertai was not killed by Huang Taiji, it was indirectly that he was too arrogant and domineering. However, after the death of man, Huang Taiji even took away the title of Manguertai, and even dug out the body and whipped the corpse. This made Degele feel extremely heartbroken. Once Manguertai died, Degele's situation became difficult. Everyone knows that Huang Taiji will revenge, be cruel and ruthless, and eliminate the roots. Degele is the younger brother of Manguertai. Even if he does not have that resentment, Huang Taiji will not let Degele go. This is not a family fighting for family property. For the sake of the supreme position, he can kill his father!
Dorgon and the brothers Ajige and Dodo helped him, but Degele was the kind that the brothers became the kind that the grandmother didn't love and the uncle didn't love. In order to survive and for his own family, Degele put all his bets on Dorgon who was not optimistic about.
According to Dege's idea, he was not favored by Huang Taiji, so he simply didn't like him to the end. He walked along the way with Dorgon to the black. Anyway, if he was alone, he would not end up better than Mangourtai!
Dorgon was also hurt by his mind about Dege's revenge like a lingering fight. He could only secretly tell him to draw a clear line with him. He didn't know whether Dege's was stupid or stupid. He couldn't hear the implicit rejection in Dorgon's words, so he could not protect himself. Then he could still protect a Dege's who was even more unwelcome to Huang Taiji. If he got along with Dege's, he would not make Huang Taiji suspicious, so how could he have the chance to make a comeback?
Fortunately, Manguertai died. Although Degele was his brother, his ability was limited, and his status was also among the brothers. Except for those underage, who were considered the lowest-ranking people, and they were also considered Nurhaci's bloodline and had some meager military achievements. Huang Taiji naturally knew very well about Degele's diligence towards Dorgon's mansion. In fact, if Dorgon refused Degele, it would mean that Dorgon had a strange intention. If there was no strange intention, how could his brother not let him go? Besides, Degele and Dorgon have no hatred? And other brothers dare not enter.
Dorgon's family was also afraid that he would be suspicious, which is understandable. As long as Dorgon did not take the initiative to hook up with his brothers, Huang Taiji would not be suspicious, but would be more at ease. Dege alone could not make a lot of money. Huang Taiji's focus was on the brothers of Ajige and Dodo. Since Jinzhou was defeated, Ajige was very depressed and plagued by illness and was useless. He was unable to persuade him to guard Liaoyang. To Duoduo, although he did not have Dorgon's mind, he was a general and the banner owner of the white flag. His strength should not be underestimated. This is the focus of Huang Taiji's defense.
