"Brother, I didn't expect you to lose so quickly. With your ability, it shouldn't be."

When Dorgon met the young Huang Taiji, he did not believe that Huang Taiji would be defeated by an unknown person.

Huang Taiji was open-minded: "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, but fortunately I saved thousands of soldiers and horses. These are the new forces that followed me to fight. What was the situation of Father Khan? With Chongzhen's ability and lacking strong national strength, Father Khan should be able to defeat Chongzhen completely."

Dorgon replied: "This guy Chongzhen is very lucky. Li Wenzhong, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, heard that Chongzhen was a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, and led his troops to surrender to Chongzhen. Li Wenzhong brought considerable casualties to his father Khan. Therefore, his father Khan said that if you cannot control the grassland, lead troops eastward and attack Chongzhen with your father Khan. The plain where your father Khan is located is ten times larger than this place, which is the place where Longxing is."

Huang Taiji pondered: "Duke Cao Li Wenzhong is one of the famous generals under the command of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Hongwu, second only to Xu Da and Chang Yuchun. If he defected to Chongzhen, it might be a bit difficult. However, with Chongzhen's character, no matter how many good generals he gave him, he might not be able to turn the tables."

Dorgon urged: "Father Khan has already greeted Wagang Village. Wagang Village is also a little cautious about his father Khan and is willing to give him face and allow us to pass by. Let's quickly return to see Father Khan."

Huang Taiji nodded and led his troops to follow Dorgon to continue marching eastward.

Huang Taiji was not willing to merge with Nurhaci's forces.

In this plain, Huang Taiji formed a force, and as a monarch, he could freely appoint the flag lord, Niu Lu.

However, with Nurhaci, Huang Taiji could only serve as the lord of Zhengbai Banner and lost his power.

Moreover, Huang Taiji must be worried about maintaining his heir's identity.

The inheritance system of the Qing Dynasty was not the inheritance system of the eldest son. In theory, any son of Nurhaci could inherit the throne.

In history, Huang Taiji was Nurhaci's eighth son. Because Nurhaci killed his eldest son Chu Ying, Huang Taiji could only take office.

But in this world, when princes such as Dorgon, Ajige, and Dodo grew up, Huang Taiji may not have the chance to be favored by Nurhaci.

Huang Taiji is the most comprehensive among these princes, but it still depends on Nurhaci's preferences.

Other princes are also coveting the position of the prince.

Not only that, if Huang Taiji affects Nurhaci's prestige, Nurhaci may also kill Huang Taiji.

The disaster caused Xiao Wall, and the competition between the royal family became even more cruel. For the sake of power, father and son were robbed and brothers were robbed.

After Huang Taiji was defeated by Zhang Hua, he could only be forced to merge with Nurhaci and continue to be his son.

Dorgon originally led troops to help Huang Taiji capture Xia Zhen, but was the reinforcements that Huang Taiji had been waiting for.

Zhang Hua was waiting for Deng Ai, and Huang Taiji was waiting for Dorgon, but unexpectedly.

Unfortunately, Dorgon came one step late.

After Huang Taiji was defeated, Dorgon and Huang Taiji joined forces and passed through the territory of Wagang Village.

In order to prevent Huang Taiji, Wagang Village sent troops to monitor the Qing army along the way.

Two generals from Wagang Village, one holding a horse spear and the other carrying a big axe, looked at the passing Qing army coldly.

If this Qing army attacked Wagang Village, they would not mind fighting with the Qing army.

The Wagang army was full of murderous aura, and the Qing army did not dare to do anything randomly. According to the agreement reached by their respective leaders Li Mi and Nurhaci, the Wagang army just watched the Qing army pass by silently.

Oboi glared at the two generals of Wagang Village, and the generals of Wagang Village responded fiercely, not afraid of Oboi at all.

They even wanted to have a big battle with Oboi.

Huang Taiji swept his eyes and kept these generals of the Wagang Village Army in his mind, and perhaps he would fight with them in the future.

In Qingzhen, Zhang Hua dismissed Huang Taiji's officials and replaced them with Xia Zhen's confidants to re-establish order.

The civilians who had their braids were ordered to be cut off by Zhang Hua, and the rules set by Huang Taiji were abolished and the Daxia Rule was implemented.

"In the newly occupied Qing Town, Yan Town and various villages, notices were posted to recruit civil and military officials and military generals, and capable people and strangers."

Zhang Hua believes that there may be talents in Huang Taiji's territory who are unwilling to surrender to Huang Taiji. If there is a change of lord, these talents may have come out.

In a village under Qing Town, Zhao Ponu led the cavalry to rest here temporarily.

This second-level village has a population of only a few hundred people, and it looks no different from ordinary villages.

Zhao Ponu brought his troops to the village directly surrendered to Zhao Ponu.

Zhao Ponu held the reins of the war horse and drank horses by the river.

On the river surface, there was a broken fishing boat. It wandered along the river. The fisherman held a slender wooden pole, sat cross-legged at the bow of the ship, wore a hat, and fished alone.

The fisherman was slightly surprised when he saw Zhao Ponu with a ring-headed knife hanging around his waist.

"Boatman, I am a general in Xiazhen, so don't panic."

Zhao Ponu thought the fisherman was afraid and spoke to comfort him.

"I didn't expect you to defeat Huang Taiji." The fisherman lost his interest in fishing, rowed the oars, approached the river, and took the initiative to throw the fish basket to Zhao Ponu, "This general, let's enjoy these carp together, how about?"

Zhao Ponu took the fish basket, and there were indeed a few carp inside.

Zhao Ponu looked at the open-minded fisherman and always felt that this person was not an ordinary person.

The ordinary fisherman had no courage to come up and talk to Zhao Ponu.

The fisherman asked, "Don't know the general's name?"

"Zhao Ponu."

"It turned out to be General Huo's army Sima, General Zhao Ponu. He has long admired Daming."

The fisherman stood up in awe and bowed respectfully to Zhao Ponu.

Zhao Ponu was even more convinced at this time that this fisherman was not a simple person.

An ordinary fisherman can't read a big word.

It would be normal to know Huo Qubing, who is very popular.

But even Huo Qubing's army Sima had heard of this fisherman, so he was no longer an illiterate person.

"You are probably not a fisherman, so why do you live in seclusion here?"

Zhao Ponu looked at this person, and this person looked more like a scholar-official.

The fisherman sighed, "I know some things in the future, and I feel that the world is impermanent, everything is like a dream, a bubble, a mirror, a water and a moon, so I retire to the mountains and forests, and I am just a leisurely cloud and wild crane."

"Sir, since he took the initiative to talk to me, I'm afraid he's still unwilling to accept it."

When Zhao Ponu learned that the elderly Emperor Wu of Han killed his entire clan because of the political incident of "witchcraft disaster", he also had the idea of ​​retreating to the mountains and forests.

However, Zhao Ponu was still unwilling to accept it.

How could a person who once became a general and a minister would be willing to become a mortal?

The fisherman sighed, "Yes, I am far away from the world and still can't forget the things in the temple. And..."

"Sir, please say."

"I really don't know how to farm, and the grain is bad. If I continue like this, I'm afraid I'm going to starve to death..."

The fisherman was a little embarrassed.

He was a scholar-official, and he had no worries about food and clothing. He had never tried to go to the fields to do farm work himself. He worked so hard for half a year and had a poor harvest.

Zhang Hua digested Huang Taiji's territory and began to select talents in Huang Taiji's territory. There were really many scholars who recommended themselves.

These scholars and scholars disdained to serve in Huang Taiji. After Zhang Hua defeated Huang Taiji, they began to become active and actively suppressed the officials appointed by Huang Taiji.

"Miss Liang, how are your injuries?"

Zhang Hua came to comfort the injured Liang Hongyu.

As a lord, Zhang Hua actively won over all civil officials and military officials, enhanced their loyalty, and cultivated them to become confidants to ensure his status as a lord.

"Young Master doesn't have to come to express condolences so often, this is just a minor injury..."

Although Liang Hongyu said this, she still hoped that Zhang Hua would come to visit her.

When Liang Hongyu was at the lowest point in his life, Zhang Hua brought warmth to Liang Hongyu.

Women often have different feelings.

However, Zhang Hua, who only wanted to increase the loyalty of the general, made a mistake, but instead increased Liang Hongyu's favorability.

Loyalty is related to favorability, but not completely related.

Generals may complain about the monarch or even hate the monarch, but will be loyal to a certain force.

Positiveness is more important.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's favorability towards Liu Bei has surpassed the relationship between king and minister, and are like brothers and sisters.

As for the favorability of female generals, it is even more complicated.

"When the bow and crossbow archery building institute is completed and the divine arm bow is produced, I will recruit a group of divine arm bow soldiers, and you will lead the way to attack Jin Wushu."

"The young master is very kind and great, and Hongyu may not be able to repay him."

Liang Hongyu didn't understand why Zhang Hua treated her so well.

Zhang Hua's reason is also very simple, this is one of the few female female generals.

There are fewer female generals with famous names than first-class generals.

Liang Hongyu also has the talent of "inspiration" against the will of heaven.

When Liang Hongyu was moved, the unconfused naive tiger Xu Chu broke in and interrupted the conversation between the two: "Zhao Ponu brought back a fisherman, thinking that this person has the ability to govern the country and ensure the country. Please see the lord!"

"What fisherman actually made Zhao Ponu pay so much attention?"

Zhang Hua believed in Zhao Ponu's vision.
