"You really can't hide anything from your husband." Huang Taiji stretched out the index finger of his right hand and clicked on Fan Wencheng's shadow. "Mr. Do you know that Guangning has fallen?"

Fan Wencheng bowed his hands. "The Caomin heard some messages, but he didn't say it clearly. The Caomin hasn't figured out what happened on the front line."

Huang Taiji squeezed the tea cup with both hands, avoiding Fan Wencheng's gaze, "Sir, Ningyuan, Jinzhou, and Guangning are all lost, and the red flag inlaid has also been crippled."

"Ah..." Fan Wencheng exclaimed. He only knew that the frontline battle was unfavorable. He didn't expect it to be so bad. How long is it

Huang Taiji pretended not to see Fan Wencheng's gaffe, "Mr. is a Han Chinese. Based on Mr.'s understanding of Daming, is there any way to increase the combat effectiveness of Daming's army?"

Fan Wencheng shook his head slowly: "The improvement of the army's combat effectiveness is not a day's work, and requires long-term training. The Khan has also commanded the army, so naturally he understands this truth.

Huang Taiji relaxed a little, "Is it possible for the Ming army to make any powerful firearms?"

"Firearms?" Fan Wencheng closed his eyes and thought for a while, "The Caomin left Da Ming for a long time, and he didn't know the current situation of Da Ming, but the Caomin knew that firearms need soldiers to use. If there are no outstanding soldiers, even the best firearms are in vain. ."

"Is it possible that the new king of Ming Dynasty will stand up, and the soldiers will fight for the first place for Yang Wei?" Apart from this, Huang Taiji couldn't think of any other reasons.

Fan Wencheng shook his head again: "Da Ming's military system has been rotten to the top. To reorganize it, it cannot be done in a short time. Moreover, a large amount of silver is required. Without silver, everything is mirrored."

"Sir, it is impossible for the combat effectiveness of Ming's army to increase drastically?" Huang Taiji, like Mang Gurtai, also believes that the combat effectiveness of cavalry is better than everything, but the Han people often use tricks and tricks, so he is still a little worried. .

"probably not."

"So, why did the red flag inlaid with the whole army be wiped out?" This is Huang Taiji's heart disease. Failure is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that the defeat is unclear or unclear.

"The whole army is annihilated?" Fan Wencheng's face paled for a moment, but his composure was restored in an instant.

"The message has not been officially sent back, and Yue Tuo has not returned, nor can we believe it all. Maybe it is the smoke bombs released by the Han people, but we must always make all kinds of preparations." Huang Taiji hopes that the red flag will fail, and the Han people rely on it. The number of advantages, coupled with the sneak attack. If the Han people rely on their superiority in numbers, even if the red flag is really annihilated, there is nothing to fear.

"Cao Min courageously."

"Sir, please tell me, there are only you and me here. If you have something to say, you may as well speak up." Huang Taiji smiled at the corner of his eyes and looked directly at Fan Wencheng.

"Is General Yue defeated? In order to excuse his responsibility, did he make up lies and release all kinds of rumors?" Fan Wencheng glanced around and suddenly found that it was in Qingning Palace. He laughed mockingly, shaking his head gently.

Looking inside, Huang Taiji seemed to mutter to himself: "Yue Tuo is not a reckless person, so I let him guard the front line."

"..."

Seeing that Fan Wencheng hadn't spoken, Huang Taiji said again: "It's impossible. With so many soldiers inlaid with red flags, it is impossible to lose all of them in one battle. No matter how powerful Sun Chengzong is, he won't let Yue Tuo get hit again and again."

"Khan is right. How many soldiers does the Ming army have to eat the whole red flag? It was the Caomin who lost his thoughts for a while. However, the Caomin was also puzzled. What did the Ming army really do to eat the red flag?"

"Sir, if something like this really happens, how will I deal with it?" Huang Taiji no longer struggles with the failure of setting the red flag, he is more concerned about the future of himself and Dajin Country.

Fan Wencheng stroked his short beard with both hands, and said for a long time: "Agreement."

"Yehe?" Huang Taiji almost jumped up from his chair, and he couldn't wait to pinch Fan Wencheng's neck: "Which time is the war between Dajin Country and Daming to take advantage of it? How could it be possible to ask Daming for peace?"

"Sweat the anger, the grass people's meaning, discussing peace is just a pretext. We send envoys to the Ming Dynasty. Following the Ming court's practice, we will inevitably wait for the guests. We put some spies in the envoys, and prepare more gold and silver. The Han people are very profitable. Buy it and take the opportunity to find out the information we need."

"What about the content of the settlement? This matter needs to be discussed in the long term."

"Khan doesn’t need to worry about the peace talks. Cao Min said that the peace talks are just a cover. You don’t need to expect any results from the talks. There is no need for any results. The Han people have a trick called “Long delay”, as long as we If the envoys and Daming are exhausted, the spies will have a chance. The longer the time, the better."

"Oh, I understand, sir, this is really a trick, but how does the negotiation end? Our envoys will come back sooner or later, shouldn't we give them up?"

"Even if he is forced to negotiate the outcome, it doesn't matter. The envoy can say that although he agrees, the content of the agreement has exceeded his power and must be reported to the Great Khan for approval before the agreement can take effect. Once the envoy returns to the country, it will be like After sinking the big eagle into the sky, there is no more information --- Dajin Country did not violate the agreement, because the agreement did not take effect at all."

"But, the Baylors in Dajin Country, I'm afraid someone will oppose it." Huang Taiji was a little worried, and Mang Gurtai was already fighting hard.

"It's okay. Da Khan can send envoys secretly. Anyway, there will be no effective agreement. When the country knows in the future, we will have the information we want. It does not matter if Daming is angry. Daikin and Daming will eventually The problem must be solved through war."

"Mr. is really my adviser... No, it's a conspiracy." Huang Taiji extended his thumb to Fan Wencheng.

After coming out of Qingning Palace, the sky was already dark, and Fan Wencheng's mind became more sober when the night breeze blew.

The remarks made about Huang Taiji just now came to mind, but he overlooked one point. Since the Ming army can eat the entire red flag, why should they negotiate peace with Dajin? Just like when the Dajin State had its soldiers in Liaoyang, Guangning, Jinzhou, and Ningyuan, if Daming asked for a peace, would the Dajin Congress agree to it

Daming also had no tradition of negotiating peace. Even though he had dealt with a country like Mongolia from the front, he could endure the loss of the people and property, and could endure the loss of his teacher, but he never negotiated with any Mongolian tribe.

In the fourteenth year of the Ming Dynasty (AD 1449), the 30,000 army of Wacha Mongol defeated the Ming army in the Tumubao. Even the Emperor Zhu Qizhen of the Ming Dynasty was captured by the Wacha State division first, but the Ming court refused. After discussing peace in exchange for the emperor, they immediately supported Zhu Qiyu to ascend the throne to show Daming's determination to fight the foreign race to the end.

Attached. Fan Wencheng finally thought of this term. The connotation of Chinese is too rich. It is obviously to discuss peace, but the Han people changed their name. It seems that the Han people have taken advantage of it. In fact, when a foreigner is attached, the Han people don't waste their belongings? What is the substantial difference between this and Dahan and Da Tang sending princesses to marry, Da Song arguing for Qidan and Jurchen Nacoins

Fan Wencheng was consciously a leader among the Han people, and one of the few Han people who could clearly recognize the surrounding situation. Because of the extreme corruption of the Ming court, he was as depressed as Qu Yuan.

So when Dajin Kingdom marched into Liaodong, he immediately catered to Dajin. In order to realize his ideals, he abandoned his ancestors and abandoned his wife and endured the infamy of the first traitor. Now he finally has a firm foothold in Dajin Kingdom. Huang Taiji not only treats him with courtesy. There is an increase, and it is still obedient.

He has never let Huang Taiji down. With the strategy of the Han people, he confuses among Jurchens who don't even have words. He feels comfortable.

But tonight, when he heard that the Miaohongqi army had been wiped out, he was so nervous that he lost his temper. Why did the Ming army's combat effectiveness greatly increase? He really didn't figure it out.

Fan Wencheng felt that for the first time he couldn't see Da Ming in the face of the homeland he was so familiar with.

Is Daming changed, or is he getting old

Unconsciously, Fan Wencheng had arrived at the door of the mansion.

The janitor knew that Huang Taiji had summoned him, and he enthusiastically came to salute: "My lord is back? Have you ever had dinner?"

Fan Wencheng lowered his head, didn't even look at the doorman, and said nothing.

The janitor couldn't think too much, he ran over to open the door for Fan Wencheng.

As soon as the door was half opened, Fan Wencheng came over. He lowered his head, got in through half of the door, and walked back to his bedroom quickly.

"My lord, what's the matter?" The janitor stayed at the door alone, he touched his head, and smiled slyly.

Huang Taiji was quite satisfied with the decision to discuss peace, and he felt the greatest satisfaction for being a yin man.

After sending Fan Wencheng away, Huang Taiji felt much more relaxed, and he wandered all the way back to his bedroom.

The maids had long been instructed by Dafu Jin Zhezhe, and immediately surrounded them with a smile.

"Sweat, dinner has been prepared long ago, where can I eat dinner with sweat?"

Huang Taiji sat down on the chair and then remembered that he had summoned Fan Wencheng just now and had a long conversation. It was already time for dinner, "Dinner? Oh, I'm really hungry."

"Sweat profusely, then eat dinner in the palace? It will be fine soon. You don't need to move to sweat profusely." A graceful court lady in a blue flower robe came up for a blessing, and he hit his head. His gaze coincided with Huang Taiji's line of sight.

Huang Taiji felt that the lady's eyes were familiar, "Where did I meet you?"

The maid "puchi" smiled, her waist almost bent down, "Slaves wait for profusely here every day. Of course profusely has seen slaves."

"I didn't mean this," Huang Taiji shook his head, "I mean, have I seen the ceremony in other places?"

The maid tilted her head and thought for a long time: "It shouldn't be there. Da Khan is a noble person. How could Da Khan have seen a slave and maid before entering the palace?"

Huang Taiji also smiled: "That's what I remembered wrong--------hurry up and have dinner!"

"Yes, sweating profusely." The court lady retreated. After a while, Huang Taiji's dinner came up.

Huang Tai Chi’s dinner is relatively simple, with four dishes and one soup.

A large piece of roast leg of lamb, a dish of chopped cooked beef, a dish of braised whole goose, a dish of wild amaranth, a dish of mutton and Chinese cabbage soup, and a pot of horse milk wine.

The staple food is two large white steamed buns.

Huang Taiji gently grabbed the roast leg of lamb and took a big bite: "Yes, the roast leg of lamb tastes good today."

The lady of the court filled Huang Taiji with milk wine: "Want to have another leg of lamb?"

"No need." Huang Taiji's mouth was full of mutton, and he responded vaguely.

He was really hungry, and after a while, except for amaranth, the table was completely empty.

Bumubutai hasn't come yet.

The palace lady in blue flower robes directed other palace ladies to clean up the bowls of chopsticks, and asked Huang Taiji: "Should I wash my feet first or change clothes first?"

"Yeah... Wash your feet first-isn't Bian Fujin here yet?"

"Dafujin was here just now, Dafujin said that she will dress up for the side Fujin." The lady in the blue flower robe smiled.

"Oh… "

Huang Taiji decided to sleep for a while, so he would raise his spirits first.

In a daze, Huang Taiji fell asleep.
