Ming Zuo

Chapter 750 Huang Taiji's Mind

The thirty-fifth Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, a direct descendant of the Golden Family, Borjijin Lindan Batur finally came to the end of his life.

This descendant of Genghis Khan did not inherit even one ten-thousandth of his intelligence from his ancestors, and he stands out as a great talent.

Finally, under the attack of Hou Jin and the rebellion of various Mongolian tribes, the huge Chahar tribe was brought to the brink of extinction.

Since abandoning his hometown and fleeing to Qinghai, Lin Danhan has started various tricks.

He continued to plunder the border of Daming, and fought against Hong Chengchou several times, but he didn't take advantage of it. Instead, he wiped out the last vitality of the Chahar tribe.

At this time, he was infected with smallpox, and his health was deteriorating day by day, and his life was not long in sight.

Inside Chahar today, people are already panicked and precarious.

Everyone started looking for a way out.

And everyone understands that Qinghai is definitely not a place to stay for a long time.

Once there is no Lin Danhan to unite the people, the Chahar tribe will definitely be swallowed up by the hungry wolves staring at them all around.

The Chahar Department can only continue if it returns to its original place.

But if you want to return to your hometown, you must face the pressure of Houjin.

Under such circumstances, quite a few people in the Chahar Department had the idea of ​​surrendering.

Before Lin Danhan died, someone had already reported to Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji was overjoyed to learn that his old rival was about to die.

Since the time of Nurhachi, Hou Jin has formulated a strategy of uniting Mongolia and resisting Ming Dynasty.

But at that time, although the Ming Dynasty had been defeated repeatedly on the battlefield, its huge size was still scary, so the Mongolian ministries did not dare to make decisions lightly.

Only Horqin and other Mongolian tribes who had nowhere to retreat chose to take refuge in Houjin.

It was not until Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne and completely trampled on the authority of Ming Dynasty through the Jisi Change that the Mongolian ministries finally expressed their attitude.

But even so, the Mongolian grassland is really too big.

Some Mongolian tribes farther away from Liaodong still turned a deaf ear to Hou Jin's call.

Huang Taiji is very clear that all this is because of the existence of Lin Danhan.

Although this opponent is very weak, but who said that he is a descendant of the Golden Family, the legitimate Khan of the Mongolian Empire?
With this identity, you can gather people's hearts and make the Mongols half-hearted.

If you want to completely conquer the Mongolian grasslands and turn the Mongols into your own help, you must replace Lin Dan Khan.

After Lin Danhan ran to Qinghai, Huang Taiji was quite embarrassed.

Qinghai is really too far away.

Once Hou Jin goes on an expedition, he can't guarantee the safety of his old nest at all.

Even with the speed of the Eight Banners cavalry, it is impossible to make it back even after thousands of miles.

Under such circumstances, Huang Taiji can only use the power of religion to continuously weaken Lin Danhan's strength.

Lin Danhan is a fan of the Red Sect and is very hostile to the Yellow Sect.

After he ran to Qinghai, he formed an anti-yellow alliance with Khalkha Chaoketutaiji in Mobei, Zangbahan in the snowy area, and Bai Litusi in the Kham area.

Whatever the enemy opposes, we support.

Adhering to this principle, Huang Taiji gave great support to the Yellow Sect, which enabled the Yellow Sect to flourish rapidly and occupy a dominant position in various Mongolian ministries and Jurchen territory.

But it is not enough to do these things. As long as Lin Danhan is still alive, Huang Taiji will not be able to make great achievements.

"Now in Lushun, the Shandong new army is eyeing. Once my army goes on an expedition, I'm afraid that these southern barbarians will take advantage of it. If Liaoshen loses, our foundation will definitely be destroyed."

When it came to the expedition to Chahar, there were a lot of opposition within Hou Jin.

At this time, even Daishan didn't care about pretending to be a good guy, and clearly put forward different opinions.

Dorgon sat aside, not saying a word.

He knew very well that what happened this time had nothing to do with the two white flags.

It is true that the two white flags lost too much in the previous battle of Lushun, and they have not recovered until now.If there is another war and expedition, the two white flags will collapse.

Although Huang Taiji has always wanted to weaken the authority of others and realize his desire to monopolize power, he also understands that the Eight Banners are the foundation of the later gold.

If the loss is too great, it will also be detrimental to his rule.

So at this time, Dorgon can be said to be sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, just sitting and watching other people perform.

Facing the one after another opposition, Huang Taiji only felt tired.

These people simply don't understand what it means to eliminate the Chahar Department.

"The situation in Lushun is difficult to solve for a while. Even if we use all the soldiers we can fight, we may not be able to succeed. After all, we have few people in Dajin. We only rely on our own children. I don't know how many years it will take to have enough soldiers. Only by absorbing the Mongols as much as possible and helping us conquer the city can we compete with the Ming people and Shandong."

Huang Taiji presented a reality that no one can avoid.

The reason he said made it impossible for everyone to continue to object.

Lushun is close at hand, and it can be said to be a stick in the throat for the Jurchens.However, relying on the strength of the Jurchens themselves, it is impossible to break through and occupy them.

Looking at the world, the only place that can replenish its strength is the Mongolian grassland.

Now Duoyan Sanwei and various tribes of Eastern Mongolia have become the helpers of Houjin, but these tribes are only a small part of the power of the Mongolian grassland.

There are also more powerful Tatars and Oalas.

If the entire Mongolian grassland is absorbed, Huang Taiji is confident that he will achieve greater achievements than Genghis Khan.

"Khan, if you want to make an expedition to Chahar, you must stabilize Shandong. Otherwise, I dare not act rashly."

Sakhalian unconditionally supported Huang Taiji's idea, but also raised joints.

Huang Taiji has always attached great importance to his suggestions.

"Shandong, like us, is an enemy of Ming Dynasty. We can start from this point to eliminate Shandong's hostility towards us."

Huang Taiji is a person who can afford it and let it go. He decided to compromise with Shandong.

"Sahalian, are you willing to go to Shandong as an envoy to convey my sincerity?"

It is impossible for Huang Taiji to entrust this kind of matter to someone who cannot be trusted.

In his mind, when it comes to ability and loyalty, Sakhalian is definitely ranked first.

Sure enough, Sahalian did not live up to his expectations.

"The minister is willing to go."

Without any hesitation or timidity, Sahalian just asked Ben Huang Taiji for his strategy.

"Khan, this time my Dajin took the initiative to show favor, and Shandong will definitely ask for prices. I don't know where the bottom line is?"

Huang Taiji closed his eyes and meditated, feeling a little embarrassed for a while.

After a long time, he opened his mouth slowly.

"Go and tell Zuo Menggeng that I would like to form a brotherhood with him. If he asks, my Dajin Gege can also marry him."

During the rise of Hou Jin, one of the things he was best at was marriage.

By marrying noble women from other forces, marrying women from your own side, and forming alliances with others, your strength will continue to grow.

Facing the predicament now, Huang Taiji resorted to this trick again.
