Chapter 2553 Changsun Wuji surrenders and releases Huang Taiji
Chapter 2549: Changsun Wuji surrenders and releases Huang Taiji
Kublai Khan wanted to destroy Maodun and unify Yuanmeng;
Aguda wanted to annex Dorgon and dominate Manqin;
The conflict between the two parties is irreconcilable and will only end if one party falls completely.
But for the Qin Dynasty, it would not be a good thing for any party to annex the other party. On the contrary, it would cause them to split and continue to fight among themselves. Only then could the Central Plains dynasty sit back and relax and devote all its strength to unification.
It is precisely based on this demand that the strategy of "infinite internal fighting" came into being.
What is “infinite internal strife”? It means not favoring any party in the Yuan and Qing Dynasties, suppressing whoever is strong, and supporting whoever is weak, so as to ensure that the Yuan and Qing Dynasties can never complete the reunification.
Ever since the Qin Dynasty finalized the plan of "infinite internal strife" and continued to provoke it, internal strife between the Yuan and Qing Dynasties has long been the norm, and multiple civil wars broke out in just a few years.
At first, Maodun and Dorgon had the advantage, so Da Qin supported Kublai Khan and Aguda, and both sides also had a honeymoon period.
Da Qin provided weapons, equipment, grain and grass to the two families, while the two families fed back to Da Qin cattle, sheep, horses, furs and other grassland specialties;
As time went by, Dorgon and Maodun gradually weakened, and both Kublai Khan and Aguda tended to annex each other, so the Qin Dynasty turned to support Maodun and Dorgon.
At this time, both Kublai Khan and Aguda clearly saw that Da Qin was just using them, so they became increasingly alienated from Da Qin.
Da Qin naturally didn't care about the attitude of the two families, and just did whatever it wanted, until the last civil war between Yuan and Qing Dynasty started.
Although Kublai Khan and Aguda did not form an alliance, they had formed a tacit understanding. Even if it was a civil war, they would fight together because they were worried that the Qin army would really send troops to intervene. If the two families went to war at the same time, Great Qin could not attack both families at the same time. Send troops?
After all, even if Da Qin wanted to send troops to intervene, it could only send out one army at most, and it was unlikely that it would send out two armies to interfere in the internal affairs of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties at the same time.
Kublai Khan and Aguda had the right idea, but unfortunately something went wrong in the last civil war.
Aguda clearly had the advantage, but was repelled by Dorgon and Yinzhen. Kublai Khan and his family could not withstand the pressure of Qin and had to retreat, while Maodun was able to continue to survive.
After these years of cultivation, Kublai Khan and Aguda are now back. This time they are fully prepared and will never retreat because of the threat of Qin.
As for the Dorgon and Moton families, after experiencing the last war, although both families gritted their teeth and endured, their losses were also very heavy.
Even with the resources tilted by Da Qin, the two families have gradually recovered some of their strength. However, compared to Kublai Khan and Aguda, both families are obviously at a disadvantage, and it is obviously difficult for them to survive this disaster on their own.
After reading the news about Beijiang, Ying Hao said with a headache on his face:
“Kublai Khan and Aguda made a good calculation. Even if we, the Qin Dynasty, would send troops to intervene, we would not send out two armies at the same time, so they started a civil war together.
This time I am afraid it will be difficult to get them to retreat by relying solely on intimidation.
Dear dear friends, please tell me, if we, the Qin Dynasty, do not send troops, can Dorgon and Maodun defeat Kublai Khan and Dorgon? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Liang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Kublai Khan and Aguda are fully prepared this time. Dorgon's loss last time was not too great. Maybe he can persist for a while, but Mao Dun We were almost destroyed in the last battle, and we are already scared to face Kublai Khan. If we, the Qin Dynasty, do not send troops to intervene, we will definitely be annexed by Kublai Khan. "
Jia Xu stood up and said: "What Mr. Zhang Liang said is true. The old minister suggested that Maodun can send troops to support, while Dorgon will wait and see what happens. If it really can't hold on, it can consider releasing the emperor." Tai Chi.”
Ying Hao couldn't help but nodded. Huang Taiji was the prince established by Nurhaci and was also recognized as Nurhaci's successor.
After the Battle of Youzhou, if Huang Taiji had not been captured, Aguda might not have had the chance to rebel.
Huang Taiji was imprisoned for several years after being captured. Although his influence is not as good as before, if he joins Dorgon's camp, Aguda will be even more untenable morally, and Dorgon's side will definitely get more. Manchu support.
"What Master Jia said is reasonable, but if Dorgon can no longer hold on, even if he lets Huang Taiji go back, it won't have much effect. It's better to let him go while the fight has just begun." Ying Hao said.
“As for Yuanmeng’s side…”
After Ying Hao pondered for a moment, he opened his mouth and gave the order: "Send an order to the general, Bai Qi, the governor of Jizhou, to go north to Youzhou today to take charge of the military affairs of Youzhou, Bing and Hezhou. If Maodun cannot hold on, he will be allowed to use his discretion. Send troops to aid Maodun."
Ying Hao could not send troops without sending troops to Manqin, but he could not send troops without sending troops to Yuan Meng, so he specially transferred Bai Qi to Youzhou to put pressure on Kublai Khan.
Bai Qi, a famous commander in command of 107 troops, has been training troops in Jizhou for the past two years, which is indeed a waste.
Now that the Yuan and Qing dynasties are causing trouble again, it's time for Bai Qi to be slaughtered and move around.
Countless people from the Mongolian and Qing Dynasties died at the hands of Bai Qi. If he went to Youzhou, I believe Kublai Khan and Aguda would definitely feel a lot of pressure.
“By the way, the newly acquired position of governor of the Kansai counties cannot be delayed any longer.
With my decree, Ban Chao is appointed as the Prefect of Fufeng, Changsun Wuji is appointed as the Prefect of Feng Ling, Yang Jian is appointed as the Prefect of Wuwei, and Ji Dan is appointed as the Commander of Wuwei County."
Ban Chao's contribution in this war was not small, and his promotion to the position of prefect was more than enough.
Yang Jian is now depressed. He has always been worried about the destruction of the Yang family by Li Tang. If he doesn't find something to do and keep him busy, he probably won't be able to get over this hurdle.
Ying Hao did not want Yang Jian to remain depressed, so he specially appointed Yang Jian, who had a political attribute of only 78, to serve as the prefect of Wuwei County, and asked Ji Dan, who had a political attribute of 102, to serve as his deputy.
In this way, Yang Jian will definitely be busy with heavy government affairs, and naturally he will have no energy to think wildly.
As for Changsun Wuji, he was indeed determined to refuse to surrender when he was captured, but after Li Tang was destroyed by his ally Shu, he was no longer so persistent.
In the end, under the turns of lobbying by Yang Jian and Li Kui, Changsun Wuji chose to surrender. After all, Li Shimin was dead, and he would continue to move forward while alive.
Changsun Wuji ranks first among the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. His own abilities are high and balanced. It is naturally impossible for Ying Hao to use such an all-rounder.
In addition, Changsun Wuji's prestige among the Tang army was not low. Even in order to appease the surrendered generals, Ying Hao had to reuse Changsun Wuji, so he was canonized as the prefect this time.
As for Li Kui, who was seriously ill and in a coma, he also woke up under the treatment of Sun Simiao. After learning that the Tang Kingdom was destroyed by the Shu Kingdom, he was also surrendered by Li Xiuning.
The war between Qin and Tang was too fierce, and as one of the few remaining members of the Li and Tang clan, Li Kui had to surrender even to preserve his family.
Li Kui's intelligence attribute is 94, and his political attribute is as high as 102. Such a gold-level political talent, Ying Hao naturally needs to reuse, so he plans to call him Yongzhou Biejia. Of course, not now.
As a surrendered minister, Li Kuai acted as a separate state as soon as he surrendered. With such a high position, many people would definitely be dissatisfied.
“Transfer Cui Hao, the official of Bohai County, to serve as the prefect of Anding;
Transferred Han Qi, the governor of Changshan, to serve as the governor of Longxi;
Transferred Cai Ze, the chief administrator of Xiangyang, to serve as the prefect of Wudu;
Transfer Lu Kai, the minister of Nanyang County, to serve as the prefect of Hanyang;"
After conferring four more prefects, Ying Hao ended the meeting and returned to the harem to visit the two queens who were raising their babies.

There are many prisoners imprisoned in the sky prison in Luoyang, including many famous figures, such as:
Kou Xun, the former think tank of Chu King Liu Xiu;
The general under the command of King Yuan Shao of Zhao rolled the curtain;
Shi Jingsi, a general under the command of Tang Wang Li Shimin;
Li Guang, the general under Emperor Liu Che of the Northern Han Dynasty, and Zhao Chongguo, the general who pretended to surrender;
As well as the former Manchu prince Huang Taiji, the prince Daishan, and the clan member Yinhu;
The one who has been imprisoned the longest among these people is undoubtedly Kou Xun. He has been imprisoned for more than ten years. Even Ying Hao has forgotten that such a person exists.
Shi Jingsi was imprisoned recently. He actually wanted to surrender, but his son Shi Jiantang and his two grandsons Shi Kuangyi and Shi Kuanghan all surrendered to Shu along with Li Keyong and Li Siyuan.
In order not to cheat his children and grandchildren, Shi Jingsi had no choice but to die rather than surrender. Unexpectedly, the Qin Dynasty did not kill him, but imprisoned him in Luoyang Heavenly Prison.
Shi Jingsi was very popular in Li Tang. Knowing that he would rather die than surrender, many surrendered generals such as Hua Xiong, Li Jue and Fu Cunshen interceded for him, which saved him from death.
As for Huang Taiji, he has been imprisoned for more than two years.
When Huang Taiji was imprisoned in the sky prison, he was filled with fear when he saw Kou Xun, who was in ragged clothes and skinny and skinny after being imprisoned for ten years.
He was afraid that like Kou Xun, he would be locked up in prison and waste his time until he died of old age.
He would rather die on the battlefield than accept such a death.
Therefore, Huang Taiji thought at that time that he would rather sacrifice some national interests and get out of this ghost place as soon as possible. After all, his status as prince was still valuable.
But what Huang Taiji never expected was that since he was imprisoned, Daqin seemed to have forgotten his existence. Except for the high-ranking officials who came to ask him questions at first, no one ever paid attention to him again. He did.
Hong Taiji was also extremely puzzled by this. After all, he was the prince of the Qing Dynasty. Is this how the Qin Dynasty treats the prince of a country?
Huang Taiji told the jailer many times that he wanted to see Emperor Qin Ying Hao, but he was ignored by the jailer.
In order to attract the attention of Daqin's senior officials, Huang Taiji even committed suicide. After being rescued, he still could not see Ying Hao, but only saw Shen Lian, who was still a member of the Jinyi Guards at that time.
More than two years have passed, and Huang Taiji has gradually become desperate.
As usual, Emperor Taiji was chatting with Kou Xun to kill time. Unexpectedly, a man in brocade robes came to his prison.
Huang Taiji recognized the person as a **** at a glance, and it was impossible to send an **** to kill him, so this also meant that this person was sent by Ying Hao.
A flash of light flashed in Huang Taiji's eyes and he asked, "I wonder what this father-in-law is here for?"
Cao Zhengchun looked at Huang Taiji who was dirty and malnourished in the prison, and said: "Huang Taiji, your Majesty has summoned him."
Hong Taiji was stunned for a moment, and his heart was filled with ecstasy.
Looking at Huang Taiji leaving the prison, Kou Xun was filled with envy.
——————
The capital of the Qing Dynasty, Shengjing City.
When he learned that Aguda was mobilizing troops and preparing to send troops to attack him again, Dorgon knew that Aguda would not retreat easily this time, so he immediately asked Da Qin for help, but the only thing he received was "Qin Army" Wouldn't fail to manage' this type of extremely official response.
Although Dorgon was extremely dissatisfied with this, he had no choice but to hope that Da Qin would send troops to help. Even if it did not send troops, it would still support a batch of ordnance.
Yin Zhen walked into the room with an excited face and said, "Your Highness, the Qin envoy has responded."
Hearing this, Dorgon also showed excitement and asked, "What did the envoy of Qin say?"
"The envoy of Qin said that the Qin Dynasty decided to release His Highness Huang Taiji and return to the country."
"What?"
Dorgon suddenly screamed. There was no trace of joy on his face, and his face instantly turned extremely ugly.
Seeing Dorgon's expression, Yinzhen knew that he didn't want Huang Taiji to come back, so he told him the benefits of Huang Taiji's return.
First of all, it will get more support from the Manchu people.
Secondly, Aguda will lose his righteousness and be labeled as a rebel.
Third…
In short, there are many advantages, and the only disadvantage is probably that it will impact Dorgon's power.
Dorgon thought carefully and decided to accept Huang Taiji. After all, the current enemy was Aguda.
If Aguda cannot be solved and the Aixinjueluo family loses the throne, then there is no point in their brothers fighting over each other.
