Views:

As soon as Huang Taiji took his seat in the Great Palace, he heard the message from Chasmajin. He raised his head and looked at the eunuch who was kneeling in front of him: "Chasmajin? Where is he now?"

The eunuch did not dare to lift his head, "Returning to sweat, Chasma Jin is waiting outside."

"Then you go quickly and let him in." Huang Taiji was very happy. It was luck that he could not stop the eternal life. He just comforted Horqin and married back a woman who was as transparent as jade. Sima Jin came back.

Chasmajin came back so early, and he must have brought back important information. Huang Taiji had a faint expectation. Chasmajin would definitely bring good messages, just like Ji'erhalang.

"See profuse sweat!" After entering the Great Palace, Chasma Jin squatted on the ground.

"Chasi Majin, get up quickly!" Huang Taiji raised his hand and pointed to the side: "Sit down!"

"Xie Dahan!" Chasma Jin sat in the position designated by Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji smiled in his eyes: "Chasma Jin, why did you come back so soon? Has the mission been completed?"

"Sweat," Chasma Jin had thought about it, and Huang Taiji asked him expectantly. He reorganized his thoughts. "Sweat, our spies were killed."

"What? The Ming court dare to be so rude?" The emperor was extremely angry, "Chasma Jin, what is going on?"

"Sweat," Chasima Jin told Huang Taiji about the fact that two spies were arrested and then beheaded by Zhu Youzhen in front of him, and finally added: " Khan, Zhu Youzhen deceived people too much."

After listening to Chasima Jin’s narration, Huang Taiji calmed down. The two spies were arrested and they couldn’t blame others. Since they were spies, they were not envoys. It was normal to be beheaded, but if the spies were beheaded, he wanted The plan to spy on Daming's new firearms was about to fail.

"Chasmajin, how is the negotiation going?"

"As Da Khan expected, we did not reach any agreement with Daming," Chasma Jin said, "Da Khan, I heard a message in Daming, I don't know whether it is true or false."

"What message? Come and listen."

Seeing that Huang Taiji wasn't looking at himself at all, Chasma Jin didn't dare to overstate his words: "Three Baylor was defeated in Guangning and the cavalry suffered heavy losses."

"Mang Gurtai?" Huang Taiji frowned. "The military newspaper said that his soldiers had some casualties, but the Ming army suffered even greater losses... In war, there are no undead."

"Da Khan, I saw a battle report of the Ming army, but I couldn't determine the authenticity. The report said that San Baylor's cavalry has no more than one armor and completely lost the ability to attack. Now I can only nest in Xipingbao. "

"What? Less than one Jiala? Isn't it possible?" Huang Taiji shook his head, "Chasmajin, you must have been deceived. Mangguertai's Zhenglan Banner is as powerful as any other banner, why? Could the casualties reach this level? It must be a smoke screen released by the Ming army in order to obtain some unexpected benefits in the negotiation."

"Sweat," Chasmajin went out, "I didn't believe it at first, but when I passed by Guangning, I did not see San Baylor's cavalry. The whole plain was full of Ming army guard posts. This is very consistent with the battle report of the Ming army."

"How could this happen? Is the military report sent back by Mang Gurtai a fake?" Huang Taiji still didn't believe it. "He was fooled for a while, but could he be fooled for a lifetime? He is going to come back after all."

"Da Khan, when I was in Daming, I started to put forward some harsh conditions. Although Daming didn't agree, he just bucked his excuses until the military report appeared, and then..."

"Then what?"

"Then, Emperor Zhu Youjian of Ming Dynasty met with me. He not only denied my conditions completely, but also set three conditions to us."

"What are the three conditions? Are they more stringent than ours?" Huang Taiji was not prepared to reach any agreement with Daming at that time. Therefore, the conditions he put forward were very harsh, and it is estimated that Daming would not accept it at all.

"First, let us return to Hetuara immediately..."

"What?" Before Chasma Jin finished speaking, Huang Taiji exclaimed. How could this be a condition for peace talks? It's simply not giving Da Jin Nation a way to survive, this Zhu Youjian can really open such a mouth.

Huang Taiji thought, what capital does Zhu Youjian have to return to Hetuala? Is Zhu Youjian crazy? Or Mang Gurtai really lost in Guangning.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji was startled in a cold sweat, reminiscing about the dreams he had had, and he was vaguely worried.

Huang Taiji expects that Zhu Youjian is crazy.

"What kind of conditions did Zhu Youjian put forward? Chasi Majin, say them all together."

Chasima Jin also stated the other two conditions of Zhu Youjian, and Huang Taiji was irritable.

What conditions Daming put forward is not terrible. These conditions are constantly changing during the negotiations between the two sides. The question is, how can Zhu Youjian have the confidence to raise these questions

"Chasmajin, how did you deal with it?"

"Sweat, I flatly refused at the time."

Huang Taiji nodded, and there was no doubt about rejection. Who would dare to agree to these conditions set forth by Daming? It is impossible even by himself, not to mention that Chasma Jin is only a messenger.

"What then? The negotiation is over?"

"Da Khan, Emperor Daming said that he has the sincerity of peace talks, so he made such a condition. I disagree, and he sent an envoy to us."

"What? Daming sent us an envoy? Where is he now? Does Emperor Daming really have the sincerity of peace talks?"

"Da Khan, the messenger sent by Daming, called Huang Xiaofu, is their right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. He has followed me to Shengjing."

"Is Zhu Youjian really willing to negotiate a peace? Or is it just like me, just as a cover?" Huang Taiji asked himself, "If I really want to negotiate a peace, why do you still propose such harsh conditions? Is Mang Gurtai really like Yue Tuo? Same, was beaten and disabled?"

Huang Taiji couldn't understand Zhu Youjian's thoughts for a while. He decided to send someone to Guangning for a look. The condition of Manggurtai must be known for sure before he could decide on the next move.

"Chasmajin, is there anything else I need to report?"

"Sweat profusely." Chasi Ma Jin hesitated to speak.

"Chasmajin, what's the matter with you? Just say something." Huang Taiji was upset, too lazy to guess his thoughts.

"Da Khan, when I came back from the capital of Daming, I found that Daming had built a road called'cement avenue' from the capital to Shanhaiguan. This kind of road is extremely flat and hard, and it will not be muddy even on rainy days. It is very suitable for pedestrians. And vehicles."

"Cement avenue? It won't be muddy on rainy days?" Huang Taiji couldn't imagine what kind of road it was. "What kind of road is this kind of road built? Is it stone?"

"No, Khan, they said, the material for road construction is called cement, which they produce."

"Cement?" Huang Taiji searched for intestines, but there was no result. "What are the benefits of this kind of road?"

"Sweat, this kind of road, whether it's sunny, windy or rainy, can transport supplies without interruption."

"It's no wonder that Yue Tuo lost the battle. Daming has solved the problem of material transportation." Huang Taiji suddenly realized that he began to worry about Mang Gurtai.

Chasma Jin's words made Huang Taiji even more alarmed: "Da Khan, now this kind of road has been built from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan, and it is said that they will build Jinzhou and Guangning."

"Chongzhen is to strengthen the control of Ningyuan, Jinzhou and Guangning. Once their food and material transportation can keep up, it will be difficult for us to regain Guangning." Huang Taiji becomes more annoyed. If Mang Gurtai is really there. Quang Ninh was defeated, Quang Ninh, it is difficult to regain it in a short time.

"Khan, what should we do?" Chasma Jin was Huang Taiji and worried about Dajin Country.

"Chasmajin, you go back first, I will see Chongzhen's messenger first, and I will talk about it when the time comes."

"Yes, sweating profusely." Chasima Jin bid farewell to Huang Taiji and left the Great Palace.

Huang Taiji immediately selected spies from the Zhenghuang flags and asked them to pretend to be porters and go to the front line of Guangning to investigate Mang Gurtai's situation first.

He has not received Chongzhen's messenger for the time being, and now the situation in Guangning is unknown. He asked the little Belle Dorgon to meet Huang Xiaofu on his behalf. Among the many brothers, Huang Taiji believed in Dorgon's wisdom most. He hoped that Dorgon could get more information from Huang Xiaofu, especially accurate information about Guangning.

Coming out of the Great Palace, Huang Taiji was still like Chasma Jin's words. Although he had no substantial gains during his visit to Daming, he had discovered a lot of information that Huang Taiji didn't know.

For the first time, Huang Taiji felt that Daming became more and more unfamiliar, and he was no longer the former Daming who was tortured by the Jurchens.

Returning to Qingning Palace from the Dazheng Hall, there is a section of Jinshui Bridge on the left. Huang Taiji made a special detour. He is used to taking souvenirs on Jinshui Bridge.

The Jinshui Bridge is not paved with gold. Huang Taiji is not so luxurious yet. It is a bridge paved with bluestone. The piers are made of perennial elm wood. There is a gurgling stream under the bridge. The entire bridge is about fifty steps long. , Three steps wide, and one and a half steps high.

There are three such Jinshui bridges, and the two bridges are six or seven steps apart.

Every time Huang Taiji passed by here, as long as time permits, he would stroll for two steps on the Jinshui Bridge. He not only liked the feeling of stepping on the boulders, but also the flowing water under the bridge. The endless trickle symbolized the life. It also symbolizes that the Jurchen nation will continue to thrive forever.

Today Huang Taiji is a little bored. He especially hopes to walk around Jinshui Bridge. Maybe the never-ending water under the bridge can give him some inspiration.

Huang Taiji stepped on the golden water bridge in the middle, also known as the "second bridge".

He walked ten steps away, and Jinshui Bridge had a 90-degree turn. After turning over, there was a young woman sitting on the edge of the bridge, wearing a bright red jacket skirt.

"Huh! Who could this be?"

Huang Taiji walked a few steps, and came to her behind, "Bumbutai? Why are you here? Didn't your sister look for you?"

"Sweat!" Bumbutai's voice was so weak that he was seriously ill for three days.

Bu Mu Butai's skin is also very fair. If there is no Hailanzhu, she is the whitest woman in the harem. Against the background of the red jacket skirt, her face reveals faint red silk, especially the slender neck. It seems to have put on a layer of red foundation.

"Bumbutai, where is your sister?"

"Da Khan, my sister is already married and has children. Why do you have to marry her?"

"Bumbutai, what's the matter with you?" Huang Taiji frowned. He was upset and needed the comfort of the women.

"If Da Khan doesn't like my aunt and me, there are still many women in the palace. All the women in Da Khan will let Da Khan choose. Why do I choose my sister alone?"

"Bumbutai, what do you want to say?" Huang Taiji first wanted to marry Hailanzhu for the country. He was to tie up Saisan and Horqin. But now he is in a bad mood and doesn't want to give Bumbu at all. Tai explained.

"Khan, if you like me, let my sister go back, if Khan likes my sister, then let me go back to Horqin." Bumbutai didn't care about Huang Taiji's face at all.

"Bumbutai, do you know what you are talking about?" Huang Taiji was annoyed.

Bumbutai's eyes instantly turned red and dripping. She raised her head and glanced at Huang Taiji, "I understand." She suddenly turned around, and ran away with both hands without eyes.
