Queen Xiaozhuang's personal maid: Su Malagu

Chapter 20
(1)

After Huang Taiji inherited the Houjin regime, the happiest thing was Horqin chief Mang Gusi and his daughter Zhezhe. They felt that their bet was right.

Bumbutai was both happy and worried about Huang Taiji's succession to the Empress Jinhan.I am happy that I am one step closer to realizing the mission of the Mongols, but Dorgon is worried.When Dorgon inherited the throne of Khan, not only did he lose the title of Great Khan that should have belonged to him, but even his mother was forcibly asked to be buried as a sacrifice. Bumbutai couldn't imagine how he endured all this.

"The battle in the palace is too cruel! Gege...we must be more careful in the future." Su Mo'er witnessed the four Baylors forcing Abahai to be buried, and was greatly touched. One day, she said this to Bumbutai .

"Yes, if you are not careful, you will lose your life!" Bumbutai sighed heavily, and turned his face away.

Su Mo'er looked at Bumbutai, worried for her.Although Bumbutai has become the side Fujin of the Great Khan of the Great Jin Kingdom, Abahai's fate still makes her feel lingering fear.

If the concubine Abahai, whose mother is precious to her son, is like this, one can imagine how difficult the road for Bumbutai will be in the future.

"There is still a long way to go to truly realize the mission of the Mongols to unify the world. In addition to leaving the blood of the Great Khan and giving birth to a son for him, it is best to participate in political affairs. Only with political power can people not be affected At your mercy." Bumbutai said softly.

Su Mo'er nodded.She thought, if Abahai was not just a vine for Nurhachi, the four major Baylors might not have dared to attack her.

"To survive in the harem, you need to have your own capital. Some mothers are expensive based on their children, and some are based on their beauty. But I think these are unreliable and may be lost. If you want to have permanent capital, that is to participate in political affairs!" It was the conclusion drawn by Bumbutai after careful consideration after Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne.

"The harem participates in politics! Can the Dajin Kingdom accommodate it? Even if the Great Khan allows it, will the relatives and ministers be willing?" Su Mo'er was a little worried.

"So I have to do something to convince them." Bumbutai's eyes were less pure and clear than when he was on the grassland, and more alert and sharp.

"What convinces them?" Su Mo'er was thinking.Since coming to Shengjing, Su Mo'er has learned Manchu by virtue of her intelligence and eagerness to learn. She has read a lot of books and has become more and more mature during her rapid growth.

"Do you remember what I told you about Yuan Chonghuan, a general of the Ming Dynasty?" Bumbutai asked.

Su Mo'er nodded.

"This Yuan Chonghuan is the biggest obstacle for Manchuria to march into the Central Plains and realize the great cause of unification." Su Mo'er said.

"Yes! So he is the biggest enemy of our post-golden regime and our confidant. If we can get rid of this person, what will you say about the Great Khan, the relatives and ministers?" Bumbutai With a sneer.

"But...it's not that easy." Su Mo'er sighed.

"It's not easy, but we can find a way." Bumbutai felt that as long as he wanted to do it, there was nothing he couldn't do.

……

In 1629, Huang Taiji launched an attack on the Ming Dynasty, and personally led troops to station in a place only two miles away from Beijing.The Ming Dynasty was shocked, and the emperor immediately ordered the commander-in-chief, Man Gui, to go out in command. As a result, he was beaten by Huang Taiji's golden soldiers, and Man Gui was also injured. He hid in Beijing with the defeated soldiers, waiting for rescue.

Yuan Chonghuan was also taken aback when he learned that Huang Taiji had entered the pass, and immediately led his soldiers from Ningjin to Beijing for support.Huang Taiji did not expect that, like his father Nurhachi, he would be unable to break through Yuan Chonghuan's battle no matter what.

"Is this Yuan Chonghuan the nemesis of our Dajin Kingdom?" Huang Taiji felt sad when he thought that his father fell ill and died because of his disastrous defeat in the confrontation with Yuan Chonghuan.

If you continue to attack, you will definitely suffer heavy losses, and you may even fall to the level of your father...

Huang Taiji couldn't imagine.After a night of deliberation, he ordered the withdrawal of troops.He wants to preserve his strength and change his strategy to deal with Yuan Chonghuan.

After Huang Taiji returned to Shengjing, he couldn't sleep or eat, and his spirit was listless.When Zhe Zhe asked him why he was troubled, Huang Taiji always shook his head and did not answer.Seeing him staying in the study all day with a sad face, Zhezhe went to Bumbutai and asked her to find a way to relieve Huang Taiji's anxiety.

"The country has just stabilized, and there must be no accidents to Khan." Zhezhe finally said.

Zhezhe was also worried that Huang Taiji would suddenly fall ill and leave suddenly like Nurhachi.Because neither she nor Bumbutai gave birth to a son for Huang Taiji.

Zhezhe's worry is also Bumbutai's.In order to find a way to make Huang Taiji happy, Bumbutai and Su Mo'er personally cooked food, and Bumbutai personally sent it to Huang Taiji's study.

Looking at his usual favorite food, Huang Taiji still shook his head, saying he had no appetite, and even waved her out impatiently.

Bumbutai walked out of the study in disappointment and returned to his bedroom.Su Mo'er brought her refreshments, she shook her head and sighed: "Put it down! I don't have an appetite either."

"Gege, why don't you eat something? Is there anything you can't solve? There's no need to fight against eating." Su Mo'er said.

Bumbutai sighed, frowned and said, "Khan is like this all day long. The internal affairs of the Dajin Kingdom have just stabilized. If things go on like this, something will happen."

"Khan is worried about Yuan Chonghuan." Su Mo'er said suddenly.

"Oh?" Bumbutai looked at Su Mo'er: "Why do you say that?"

"Seeing that Da Khan and Gege were disturbed, the servant was anxious, so I went to inquire about it. I heard that Da Khan met Yuan Chonghuan when he was fighting Ming, and he was invincible for a long time, so..." Su Mo'er hadn't finished speaking, Bumbutai suddenly realized: "Oh, no wonder. It's not just a war with Yuan Chonghuan, it's also about dignity and self-confidence. Maybe Da Khan thought of his father Khan...so he was irritable."

"Yes, this servant thinks so too." Su Mo'er said.

"That is to say, if you can help Da Khan solve Yuan Chonghuan's problem, won't it relieve Da Khan of his troubles?"

After Bumbutai finished speaking, he frowned and thought.

"Gege, since you told your servant about General Yuan last time, this servant has learned about this man. This man is loyal, quick-witted, and very wise. From the fact that the two Great Khans fought against him, he lost instead of winning. Look, if you want to attack by force, the chances of winning are too small. If you can't attack by force, why not outsmart them?"

At this time, Su Mo'er has read a lot of books, and she is no longer the little girl on the grassland who can only wash clothes, cook and be a female celebrity.

"Outsmart?" Bumbutai's eyes lit up.

"How to outwit?" she asked Su Mo'er.

"My servant once read a sentence in "Book of Changes Bigua": "Doubt in doubt, compared with self-inner, not self-lost." It means that in the means of deceiving the enemy, sometimes it is advisable to arrange a "fog" ’, and then use the contradictions within the enemy to serve us.”

Bumbutai looked at Su Mo'er in surprise, and said happily: "Yes! Well said! There is also such a sentence in "Sun Tzu Yongjian": "Those who rebel use it because of their enemies", which means , buy or use the spies sent by the enemy for our use.”

Su Mo'er nodded happily.

"This is..." Bumbutai stopped and looked at Su Mo'er.

"Countermeasures!" The two said these three words together.

"Yes! Anti-indirect tactics! Since ancient times, anti-indirect tactics have been tried and tested in wars. Isn't Yuan Chonghuan's bones very hard? Isn't it difficult for us to break through from the outside? Then we might as well disintegrate him from the inside." Bumbutai excited endlessly.

That night, when Bumbutai was sleeping with Huang Taiji, he saw him sighing and depressed, so he said softly, "Khan, are you worrying about Yuan Chonghuan, the general of the Ming Dynasty?"

Huang Tai was greatly shocked: "How did Fujin know?"

"The concubine sees that Da Khan has not thought about eating and drinking recently, and is depressed. He must have encountered something difficult. Thinking about it again, the profuse Khan defeated Ming a few days ago, and it was Yuan Chonghuan who met. Presumably the Khan did not return with a big victory, so for this reason Worry." Bumbutai said while gently massaging Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji let out a long sigh and did not speak.

"Who did the Khan ever worry about? But he was worried about Yuan Chonghuan. Is he very powerful?" Bumbutai said deliberately.

Huang Taiji sighed again: "Although this man is only a Jinshi, he is very good at fighting. He has defended the Liaodong area like gold, and it is difficult to break through!"

Bumbutai slowed down the speed of the massage, and said slowly: "Does the emperor of the Ming Dynasty trust Yuan Chonghuan?"

Huang Taiji nodded.

"The current Emperor Chongzhen trusts him very much, and even gave him Shangfang Baojian. Who doesn't trust such a general?"

Huang Taiji frowned even tighter.

"Want to win the world, but Yuan Chonghuan has become a stumbling block."

"Did the emperor of the Ming Dynasty really trust him so much?" Bumbutai pretended to be unintentional, and drew a long voice.

"Oh? There seems to be something in Fujin's words!" Huang Taiji smiled and glanced at Bumbutai.

"Is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty not suspicious by nature? The concubine heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was suspicious by nature!" Bumbutai glanced at Huang Taiji again.

Huang Taiji didn't speak, and fell into deep thought.

Bumbutai speeded up the massage, and said lightly: "I remember that Abu once told the story of Cao Cao to his concubines. Cao Cao is also a suspicious person!"

"Suspicious? Cao Cao?" Huang Taiji pondered.

Bumbutai continued: "I remember that Abu told his concubines that when Wei and Wu confronted Chibi, Cao Cao's counselor Jiang Gan had friendship with Zhou Yu, the governor of Soochow, so Cao Cao sent Jiang Gan to meet him in the name of a friend. Zhou Yu’s purpose was to spy on the military situation. Zhou Yu saw through Jiang Gan’s intentions, so he used his plan and pretended to be warmly received, and even shared the same bed with Jiang Gan. Sleeping until midnight, Zhou Yu’s sergeant deliberately said that he had something important to tell, and Zhou Yu left. When Jiang Gan got up and looked through the books on Zhou Yu's desk, he found a letter, which was a letter of surrender from Cao Cao's navy generals Cai Hao and Zhang Yun to Zhou Yu. Jiang Gan stole the letter and fled back to Cao Ying. The letter was handed over to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was furious after reading it, and immediately killed Cai Hao and Zhang Yun. The death of the navy general also laid the root of Cao Cao's defeat in Chibi."

Huang Taiji suddenly realized, and looked at Bu Mu Butai in surprise: "An indirect trick. Take advantage of the king's suspicion of the minister. Good! Wonderful! It's wonderful!" Huang Taiji was very happy.

Huang Taiji, who had relieved his troubles, had a very lingering night with Bumubutai.

The next day, Huang Taiji sent troops to attack the Ming Dynasty again, and he also brought with him two eunuchs from the Ming Dynasty captured during the previous war.Soon after the attack, Huang Taiji pretended to be retreating steadily, and then ordered the withdrawal of troops.During the retreat, he ordered two of his generals, Gao Hongzhong and Bao Chengxian, to deliberately approach the two eunuchs, and whispered, "The Khan's withdrawal was premeditated. Not long ago, the Khan had a long talk with the people sent by General Yuan. General Yuan and Our Dajin Kingdom has a secret agreement, and the matter of Tu Ming will be completed soon."

The two eunuchs were taken aback and fled when the general who was guarding them was not paying attention.They didn't know that all of this was set up by Huang Taiji.

After the two eunuchs fled back to Beijing, they reported the words of the two generals of Huang Taiji to Emperor Chongzhen.Originally, many people in the court were jealous and hated Yuan Chonghuan because he was favored by Emperor Chongzhen. At this time, they became worse and "exposed" Yuan Chonghuan one after another, and found all kinds of evidence of his "betrayal of the enemy".

Emperor Chongzhen, who had always been headstrong and suspicious, immediately recalled Yuan Chonghuan for questioning, and executed him Ling Chi without listening to his excuses.

Without spending a single soldier, Huang Taiji caused the Ming Dynasty to lose a general.After clearing away the obstacle of Yuan Chonghuan, Huang Taiji was extremely excited, and he also looked at Bu Mu Butai with admiration, and would talk to her about political affairs in the court and China.
