Chapter 751: Countermeasures
Huang Taiji was in serious condition, and the hunting people on horseback made them mainly eat meat. This was tantamount to aggravating his condition.
In fact, the most important thing is that he was hit by Zhu Cilang and was unable to recover. Every time he sent troops south, he was defeated by the young Zhu Cilang, which Huang Taiji felt hated.
His hypertension became more and more severe and he could not be stimulated. When the news from the Ming Dynasty reached Shengjing, Huang Taiji became more and more heartbroken.
In the third year of the crown prince's war, the enemy Li Zicheng was beheaded, and Zhang Xianzhong died of illness and was recruited to rest. Since then, no enemy rebelled in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. In the autumn of the 19th year of Chongzhen, the crown prince Zhu Cilang wrote a letter to the emperor to pacify Kou Ce.
The country is in a difficult situation, and the heroes on the border are born. The generals are old and the old people are in the territorial world, and the sound of the new people is awesome.
The general is still young and the emperor is proud of his wings. The general is still young and the emperor is honored first.
The Gantang trees in the north of the stream, the thin willow camp in the east of the river. Walking along the wild towns, the army trains and joining the peasant soldiers.
The dust arose in the south, and the murderous aura of the Xilin is high. The frost robe should be shown by itself, and the cloud formation will be lonely.
The scholars fear the orders of the lords, and the people know the name of Sima. They command the autumn scenery and the atmosphere of chatting and laughing is clear.
The sun sets and drums are roaring, and the west wind blows the flags. There is no coix seed when returning boat, and there is Polygonatum.
To ensure the peace of the people, to be mediocre and to be wise, to be willing to speak and respect the virtues of the people, to be good at Ye Chengping.
"The County Prince Gong Gong Ping Kou Cexun's poem is a tribute" is a poem written by the poet Lin Bi. Zhu Cixuan wrote this poem to Emperor Chongzhen, indicating that the 12th Regiment Camp went to the expedition to pacify the gang and achieved a comprehensive victory.
At this time, this poem from the Ming Dynasty was placed in front of Huang Taiji's imperial throne. Huang Taiji trembled with his hands and finished pronunciating it word by word.
Huang Taiji is worthy of being a hero of a generation. Without Zhu Cilang, he could defeat the Ming Dynasty. Without Zhu Cilang, his ambitions had long been displayed.
However, all of this came to an abrupt end because of the rise of a Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty. For some reason, Zhu Cilang seemed to be born as his mortal enemy. No matter how he moved and jumped, he could never escape from Zhu Cilang's palm.
Huang Taiji was puzzled by what link was wrong. It seemed that Zhu Cilang was a worm in his stomach. All his thoughts of racking his brains would eventually be discovered by Zhu Cilang.
What kind of person is this? It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhu Cilang is a monster.
For this reason, Huang Taiji really invited the most famous witch in the Qing Dynasty to cast spells. The witch who jumped at the Shengjing Palace for three days in a row. The witch said that Zhu Cilang was the reincarnation of a demon and was the death hatred of the Qing Dynasty. This demon has high magic power and is extremely difficult to deal with.
So Huang Taiji rewarded gold and silver again. The witch foamed at the mouth and jumped up as if she was a ghost. Then she trembled all over and said that ghosts knew what it meant. After a fierce operation, she said that she had conquered Zhu Cilang's magic. In a short period of time, the prince of the Ming Dynasty would no longer pose a threat to the Qing Dynasty.
Huang Taiji, who was in a hurry to seek medical treatment, was skeptical, but when he received the reward, he disappeared the next day when he even carried the soft and soft people.
Huang Taiji was furious and knew that he was deceived by this witch. So he sent the Gong Guard to chase him. Not to mention, he was caught up by the Gong Guard outside Shengjing City and slashed into two pieces with one knife.
It turned out that Huang Taiji said that since the witch had conquered Zhu Cilang, the Ming Dynasty was not afraid. So, Huang Taiji, who was ambitious, decided to lead the army in person again.
When the witch heard this, she was just making a fool of herself. If Huang Taiji returned from defeat in the war, she would not be able to tear herself into pieces.
So, the witch who received the reward fled overnight. She escaped from Shengjing City and was caught up by the palace guards soon after she escaped and was hacked to death.
Huang Taiji, who was teased, knew that relying on the sky and the earth was better than relying on himself, but he really couldn't think of how Zhu Cilang saw through him. After thinking about it, a terrified thought appeared in his mind.
That is, it must be the great purging of the traitors. Someone is informing the prince of Ming Dynasty.
This person is definitely a high-level figure in the Qing Dynasty, either Prince Beile or a meritorious official. Otherwise, Zhu Cixuan would not have received such confidential information.
The Eight Banners nobles were all descendants of Nurhaci, and they were Huang Taiji's brothers and relatives. He never dreamed that his own tribe members would betray the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, he never thought about this. Until the appearance of a letter, Huang Taiji's suspicion began to take root and sprout.
The smuggling trade has never been cut off. Even Zhu Cixuan killed the eight imperial merchants and dared to smuggle and venture into the Qing Dynasty, the merchants who dared to smuggle and risked entering the Qing Dynasty were still banned.
With huge profits, there are always people who take risks. A team full of silk tea leaves, after going through layers of checkpoints, finally touched the Qing Dynasty.
This smuggling team has more than 30 people. The Qing Dynasty welcomed these caravans smuggled from the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the smuggling caravan along the way was unobstructed after reaching the Qing Dynasty.
The silk and tea they brought were scarce in the Qing Dynasty. Before, they could go south to plunder the Han people, but now the Liaodong Army of the Ming Dynasty is tightly defended, so they can only sigh.
These daily necessities have become scarce products of the Qing Dynasty. Not only the Qing Dynasty, but also Mongolia.
Originally, the Ming Dynasty had trade with Mongolia. However, the Mongols defected to Huangtaiji, and the Ming Dynasty also terminated the trade with the Mongols.
When the smuggling caravan arrived in Shengjing, they were investigated by the Zhenghuang Banner of the capital. It would be fine if the Qing soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner did not investigate, but after investigation, they found out that something big happened.
In this list of silk and tea goods, they found a secret letter from a bag of hidden tea.
This secret letter made the caravan's big brothers and others confused. They knew nothing about the origin of the secret letter. From their confessions, they learned that they had just purchased the tea from the inner palace and loaded it overnight and then headed north.
Through the smuggling lane, they bypassed the layers of checkpoints of the Ming officers and soldiers. After going through a lot of hardships, they arrived in Shengjing. As for the origin of the letter, they knew nothing. Even a lot of people asked the soldiers of Zhenghongqi if this letter was done well.
The Qing soldiers were also surprised and confused. When he opened the content of the letter, he immediately lost his soul when he saw it.
Because the content of the letter involved a shocking secret, and even it was related to the fate of the Qing Dynasty.
Looking at the smuggling caravan of more than 30 people, the Qing soldiers of Zhenghuang Banner who were inspecting did not dare to make decisions without authorization and ordered their companions: "Take everyone down immediately and I'll report it!"
The contents of the letters were really terrifying. The Qing soldier dared not be negligent and reported them all the way. Niu Lu, Jiala, Meilezhen, Gushan Ezhen, and every general who read the letters was sweating profusely.
