Be the emperor from the postman

Zhang Fuzhen laughed heartily when Jin Li said that he was so kind to the Hammer Bandits.

"Is he worthy of instructing my lord to do this?"

Did Huang Taiji send such an idiot here in order to facilitate the victory of the Songshan Battle?
"How is Huang Taiji's daily life? How much rice does he eat?"

Hearing such a question, Jin Li dared not tell about Huang Taiji's sickness, so he patted his chest and said:

"The emperor eats one catty of rice and five catties of fat meat every day."

"He's a big belly guy." Zhang Fuzhen nodded: "What you said just now has some truth, I will report it to my commander."

Zhang Fuzhen asked people to take Jin Li to rest, and restricted the movement of the ten of them.

Jin Li and the others gathered around the novelty stove, admiring it.

"Eh, why didn't He Jinzhao send a servant to serve us?" His confidant pointed to the stove in front of him and said, "No one taught us how to use it."

"Shut up, don't talk if you don't want to die."

Jin Li didn't think that what he said would not reach He Jinzhao's ears.

Shuo Tuoke, the second son of Prince Nali, defected to He Jinzhao. If any of the Hammer bandit soldiers who were guarding around him could understand Manchu, it would be the end of the game.

Therefore, Jin Li tried his best to act carefully. Mang Gurtai and other giants all died in the hands of He Jinzhao. A man as brave as Tulai was hacked into a maim by He Jinzhao, so that he lay on the bed in humiliation.

Jin Li was not a real Manchu aristocrat, and he didn't want to be like that for the rest of his life.

Even though he was a big landlord in the Qing court and had many slaves under his command, but when he came to the territory of the hammer bandits, he didn't dare to make any publicity at all.

It has to be said that He Jinzhao's ruthless methods made many Qing soldiers feel chilled from top to bottom.

This is also a big loss for the Qing army when it encountered the Ming army's car camp. Immediately, rumors spread that the hammer bandits were mixed with the Ming army.

It is enough to see the deterrent effect of the three words He Jinzhao on them.

Therefore, although the emperor took the initiative to make a marriage this time, but no one took up the job of acting as an envoy, and it was Huang Taiji who pointed it out.

It's no wonder that Jin Li stepped on his own dignity first, lest he would offend He Jinzhao.

He Jinzhao was listening to the conversation between Zhang Fuzhen and the envoy of the Qing army at the back of the side hall.

After Zhang Fuzhen sent Jin Li away, he walked to the back of the room, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, this man didn't say a word of the truth, he might be a dog thrown out by Huang Taiji to test him."

"Since Huang Taiji has put in so much effort, then I will be magnanimous and not kill the envoy, and let him return safely."

He Jinzhao patted the chair with his fingers and smiled lightly. Hearing that Huang Taiji was bleeding from his nose and went straight to the front line, Hong Chengchou gave him a slap in the end.

People like Huang Taiji with high blood pressure are chubby and eat so much fat every day, probably because they dislike him for living a long life.

It's so cold in the Northeast, heavy oil, heavy salt, heavy fat, and frequent high blood pressure.

He Jinchao smiled at the corner of his mouth. This time, Huang Taiji was forced to do bloodletting when he rushed to the front line. It should be able to cure the symptoms, right?

"My lord is wise."

Zhang Fuzhen praised appropriately, treating the Manchu and Han people under Huang Taiji's command differently and widening the rift between them is also excellent.

"Huang Taiji may not live long."

"Huh?" He Jinzhao was a little strange: "How do you know?"

"When I was young, there was such a rich man in the village who liked to eat fat meat, but he died suddenly at home without being confused."

He Jinchao nodded, people nowadays like to eat big fat meat, and when they go to buy meat, those who sell pork dare to cut too much lean meat, they really want to scold them black-heartedly.

"Huang Taiji died sooner or later, so it doesn't matter now." He Jinzhao stood up, walked to the stove, reached out and pulled out the sweet potato from the ashes:

"It seems that the Songjin battle will not end in a short time, so that's fine."

"My lord, I think it's a little abnormal for Jin Li, a clumsy and tongue-twisting person to be an envoy, especially the matter of asking the lord to send troops."

Zhang Fuzhen believes that Jin Li is not a qualified lobbyist.

It's not like an envoy of a country, which makes people look down upon it for no reason.

"Perhaps the lord has a bad reputation." Yang Yuxiu raised his mouth: "After all, the envoys of the Qing court came to us, but nothing good happened."

He Jinzhao buried the sweet potato in the ashes again, ready to cover it for a while longer: "Huang Taiji wants me to send troops, but he doesn't want to be too obvious and be manipulated by me."

"My lord, Wu Guojun is already on his way back to Beijing. Chongzhen is worried about us."

Yang Yuxiu also stretched out his hand to warm himself up: "No matter whether Huang Taiji sends his daughter here, we will still sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. If Hong Chengchou wins by chance, it will be troublesome for us. If Huang Taiji wins, it will be even more troublesome."

Whichever of the two parties wins is not the most beneficial to the hammer bandits.

The best result is that the two sides will fight to the death, with heavy losses and a lose-lose situation. It is not in vain that He Jinzhao has tried his best to ask Sun Chuanting to bribe the officials of Ming Dynasty to help Hong Chengchou deliver the rice beans.

From the moment Huang Taiji sent an envoy to meet He Jinzhao, he no longer had any initiative on the battlefield.

Especially when the favorite concubine died of illness, Huang Taiji was in a hurry to return to Shengjing, and the Qing army who stayed on the front line did not have much fighting spirit.

Not only He Jinzhao didn't know this kind of information, even Jin Li didn't know about it.

When he left, he had never encountered such a thing.

"In fact, I've always had an idea." He Jinzhao sat on the chair, watching the kettle steaming:

"Before next year's summer harvest, if they haven't decided the winner, I will help Hong Chengchou and order Na Muzhong, Su Butai and others to harass Shenyang.

Even if the chance is not great, you can still harass the loyal Horqin tribe of the Qing Dynasty (probably in Tongliao). "

Every time Huang Taiji went to war, he would bring Horqin's troops with him. Several concubines in his harem belonged to Horqin, and Shunzhi's biological mother was also from the gradually familiar Tongliao area.

"My lord, why do you want to help Hong Chengchou?" Zhang Fuzhen felt that he was helping Daming no matter how you looked at it.

He Jinzhao held a furnace hook in his hand: "We sent troops along Sichuan to Huguang. Li Zicheng couldn't stay in Henan. We had to force him to go north to harass the capital, and let him fight with the Ming army."

Zhang Fuzhen nodded. Li Zicheng, a colleague, wanted his commander-in-chief to help him attract the Ming army's offensive. Why couldn't his own commander push him out as a pawn, not to mention blocking the Ming army, but just entangled with the Ming army.

"If Hong Chengchou is defeated before the summer harvest, my battle plan has to be earlier, and I have to help Daming recover some losses, and try to make Jinzhou, Ningyuan and other places last longer."

He Jinzhao put down the stove hook in his hand: "In this way, the entanglement between Ming and Qing will be longer, and I don't have much energy to put it out."

The two counselors also understood He Jinzhao's plan. The commander-in-chief was going to sneak attack half of Daming's country, so that the chaos in the north would be even more chaotic.

Chongzhen was seized by both the Qing Dynasty and Li Zicheng. Even if He Jinzhao caused major incidents in Huguang and other places, as Chongzhen's authority became lower and lower, it would be difficult for him to achieve major incidents.

He Jinchao didn't give Chongzhen the opportunity to rule the river at all, and wanted to establish Nanming.

"My lord, when we invade Nanjing in the future, do we want to suspend proclaiming ourselves emperor and find a puppet of the Ming clan?"

Zhang Fuzhen squeezed his beard and laughed, "At that time, many civil servants of the Ming Dynasty will fall into the trap."

"No need." He Jinzhao waved his hand and said, "I hope that these officials of Ming Dynasty can die for the country. If they don't take the initiative to die for the country, send them to mine."

Zhang Fuzhen thinks that there are so many Daming officials in the world, if [-]% of them die for the country, it is already very good.

"How is the official graduation?"

"Returning to my lord, in the past few years, twelve sessions have been held, and nearly 3000 people have been trained. Those who graduated first have been placed in local internships for a long time."

Yang Yuxiu had a smile on his face: "My lord, if you launch an army after the summer harvest next year to capture the land of Huguang, you can transfer experienced officials to the new place. These officials can replace some of the vacancies of the old officials."

"Ah."

He Jinzhao responded, training so many people in a short period of time is already very counterproductive.

Fortunately, there are a large number of places where they can practice and do things in the land of mountains and rivers.

In this way, when you arrive at a new place, you will not know anything.

"Old Yang, pass on my order to train more civil servants, especially children of the right age who are not suitable for entering the martial arts hall, and send a group to the staff school first."

He Jinzhao smelled the unique fragrance of sweet potatoes: "The country we conquered must not be taken advantage of by the gentry of Daming who have enjoyed the blessings for generations, or else we will be desperate."

"clear."

A few people are discussing various preparations for sending troops in the future.

The hammer bandits have been sharpening their knives quietly for a long time, and finally it's time to show their fangs and announce He Jinzhao's ambitions to the world.

All the planning in the early stage is to obtain greater benefits.

Jin Li was allowed to walk on the streets of Taiyuan, and he didn't know if he meant fishing.

He found out that the princes of Daming were indeed sweeping the streets here, and not just one and a half of them.

To humiliate people like this is indeed something the unreasonable He Jinzhao can do.

Jin Li was more cautious in his words and deeds, for fear that he would be called a small report and anger He Jinzhao.

This time, even though there were Hammer bandits and soldiers following him, Jin Li still wanted to try his luck. Did the spy that the emperor stuffed in make a career in Taiyuan?

Otherwise, there would be no chance to pass on the news they inquired from the Hammer Bandits. I believe that they will gain a lot after lurking for a few years.

Jin Li was cautious about this matter, but also looked forward to it.

But he was disappointed. After walking on the street for a day, no one took the opportunity to approach him because of his cold nose, and Jin Li didn't see a familiar face.

As a spy, Jinli is unqualified.

As a messenger, he is also unqualified.

From what he saw and heard, he felt that the hammer bandits were very different.

After all, he served Ming first and then Qing, and he has been on both sides.

He is quite familiar with the officialdom, but he is not at all familiar with the hammer bandits.

Jin Li wandered around for several days, but no one came to contact him, so he was already discouraged.

Could it be that He Jinzhao had already arrested him?
The lieutenant Gao Hongzhong that Jin Li had always wanted to meet was not in Taiyuan at all now. He was a foreign refugee who was placed to farm, showing some martial arts skills, expressing his desire to join the hammer bandits, and directly entered the trap camp.

Because He Jinchao had previously ordered Li Dingguo to tentatively attack the chieftains in Yunnan, to show them some seriousness.

Gao Hongzhong was in the camp, so he went to Yunnan to see elephants baring their teeth.

It's not that he doesn't want to do things for Huang Taiji, he really has no chance!
Now there are countless people who want to join the Hammer Bandits. How could you, a "Da Ming Frontier Army", be promoted directly? Going to the camp and polishing for a while is the basic routine.

Maybe after Gao Hongzhong made great achievements in Yunnan, did he eat mushrooms indiscriminately, work for the hammer bandits, and get a military post, maybe he could be interviewed by He Jinzhao once to ask about the current situation.

As for the rest of the spies that Huang Taiji sprinkled in, they didn't do well either.

Either some people are farming here with the Hammer Bandit, anyway, whoever planted it will be able to grow it, and you will not starve to death if you plant it for the Hammer Bandit, and no one will drive you to work, unless you have committed a crime.

Jin Li didn't wait to come to Gao Hongzhong, but waited for the Qing army who followed up to escort gifts, which really made him heave a sigh of relief.

Ginseng, mink and so on are all such gifts.

He Jinzhao asked the doctor to count the ginseng and store it in storage, so that in the future it might be able to save the lives of seriously ill soldiers.

He has never eaten this stuff, God knows if it is useful or not.

Presumably Huang Taiji didn't have the means to cheat.

For these gifts, He Jinzhao accepted them all, and asked where the princesses of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were?
The reply was that it was freezing cold, and the princess was too cold to travel, and she would definitely send her to Shanxi when the spring warmed and the flowers bloomed.

Huang Taiji wanted He Jinzhao to take action, and the marriage was just a pretext.

Coupled with the death of his favorite concubine, there is no mood to hold a marriage.

Through the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I learned that Huang Taiji never wanted to make a scene where he lost his wife and lost his army. As long as He Jinzhao didn't move, his daughter would not be sent.

Regardless of whether He Jinchao accepts this answer or not, Huang Taiji does not want to lose more initiative.

According to the current situation, Huang Taiji's plan obviously failed.

He Jinzhao was "deceived" by him for several years because of his marriage vow with Huang Taijimeng. Even a clay figurine has a temper.

In fact, I want to blow up the relationship between Huang Taiji and Songshan from the mouths of these people.

"Master."

It was also the first time for Jin Li to see He Jinzhao's face.

Compared to standing behind the emperor back then, looking at the command of the hammer bandits from afar.

He is the Ming army, but he knew how the Ming army was beaten by the Qing army before.

Just such an unscrupulous "monarch", I really don't know how those officials think of He Jinzhao.

Jin Li had no good words after thinking about it for a while. Although he surrendered to Huang Taiji, he would secretly scold the emperor for being a fool because of certain things.

"Marshal, this is only part of the dowry." Jin Li said with a smile on his face:

"My Qing Dynasty is very sincere, and I want to form a good relationship with the commander-in-chief, so as to divide the north and south of the Ming Dynasty."

"Huang Taiji doesn't have any price to negotiate. Even if he sends a fake daughter here, it's better than the promise he has made for so many years. I think he has passed it."

He Jinzhao shrugged and looked at Mink in front of him, saying:

"It's a pity, now that he asks someone to do something, he still can't hold back his face, for fear of affecting his newly rising reputation."

Just like Chongzhen, the leaders of both sides are sitting and planning, but he is the only one who is writing to ask Hong Chengchou why there is no news of success yet.
