Chapter 2552 Changsun Wuji surrenders and releases Huang Taiji
Chapter 2549: Changsun Wuji surrenders and releases Huang Taiji
Kublai Khan wanted to destroy Maodun and unify Yuan Meng;
Aguda wants to annex Dorgon and dominate Manqin;
The conflicts between the two sides are irreconcilable, and only if one side falls completely will it end.
But for the Qin Dynasty, whether one side annexes the other is not a good thing for the Central Plains dynasty. Instead, let it split and continue to fight within the internal struggle, the Central Plains dynasty can rest assured and use all its power to the unification.
It is precisely based on this demand that the "infinite infighting" strategy came into being.
What is ‘infinite infighting’? It means that it does not favor any side in the Yuan and Qing dynasties. It will suppress whoever is strong and support whoever is weak, so as to ensure that the two countries of the Yuan and Qing dynasties will never be able to complete reunification.
Since the Qin Dynasty finalized the "infinite internal strife" plan and continued to provoke it, internal strife between the Yuan and Qing dynasties has long been the norm, and many civil wars broke out in just a few years.
Initially, Maodun and Dorgon had the advantage, so the Qin Dynasty supported Kublai Khan and Aguda, and both sides also had a honeymoon period.
Daqin provided weapons and equipment, food and grass to the two companies, while the two companies reported to Daqin''s grassland specialties such as cattle, sheep, horses, and fur;
As time went by, Dorgon and Maodun gradually declined, and Kublai Khan and Aguda both had the tendency to annex each other, so the Qin Dynasty turned to support Maodun and Dorgon.
At this time, both Kublai Khan and Aguda obviously saw that the Qin Dynasty was just using them, so it became increasingly alienated from the Qin Dynasty.
Daqin naturally didn''t care about the attitudes of the two families, so he would do whatever he should do until the last civil war in the Yuanqing Dynasty started.
Although Kublai Khan and Aguda did not form an alliance, they also formed a tacit understanding. Even if they fought a civil war, they were worried that the Qin army would really send troops to intervene. If the two families started war at the same time, the Qin Dynasty could not send troops to the two families at the same time, right?
After all, even if the Qin Dynasty wants to send troops to intervene, it can only have one large army at most, and it is unlikely that it will dispatch two large army and interfere with the internal affairs of the Yuan and Qing dynasties at the same time.
Kublai Khan and Aguda were right, but unfortunately, there was an accident in the last civil war.
Aguda clearly had the advantage, but was defeated by Dorgon and Yinzhen. Kublai Khan could not withstand the pressure of the Qin Dynasty and had to choose to withdraw his troops, and Maodun was able to continue to survive.
After years of cultivation, Kublai Khan and Aguda have made a comeback. This time they have made full preparations and will never withdraw because of the threat of the Qin Dynasty.
As for the Dorgon and Maodun, after experiencing the last war, although both of them gritted their teeth and persevered, the losses were also very large.
Even under the tilt of resources of the Qin Dynasty, the two families gradually recovered their vitality. However, compared with Kublai Khan and Aguda, both families are obviously at a disadvantage, and it is obvious that they can survive this disaster by relying on themselves.
After reading the news about Northern Xinjiang, Ying Hao said with a headache:
"Kublai and Aguda are accurate. Even if we, Daqin, will not dispatch two armies at the same time, so we provoked a civil war together.
This time, I only rely on intimidation, and it is unlikely that they will withdraw their troops.
My dear friends, let me tell you, if I, Daqin, 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 have made full preparations this time. Dorgon''s loss last time was not too great. Maybe he can still hold on, but Maodun was almost destroyed in the last battle. He was already scared when facing Kublai Khan. If my Qin Dynasty did not send troops to intervene, he would definitely be annexed by Kublai Khan."
Jia Xu stood up and said, "Mr. Zhang Liang said very much. The old minister suggested that Maodun could send troops to support him. As for Dorgon, he would wait and see what happened. If he really couldn''t hold on, he could consider releasing Huang Taiji."
Ying Hao couldn''t help but nodded. Huang Taiji was the crown prince appointed by Nurhaci and was also recognized as the successor of Nurhaci.
After the Youzhou War, if Huang Taiji had not been captured, Aguda would probably have no chance to rebel.
Huang Taiji was imprisoned for several years after being captured. Although his influence was not as great as before, if he joined Dorgon''s camp, Aguda would be even more untenable in morality, and Dorgon''s side would definitely receive more support from Manchus.
"What Grand Tutor Jia said is reasonable, but if Dorgon can''t hold on, even if he lets Huang Taiji go back, it may not have much effect. It''s better to let him go back while the fight has just started." Ying Hao said.
"As for Yuan Meng..."
After pondering for a moment, Ying Hao ordered the general, Bai Qi, the governor of Jizhou, to go north to Youzhou to preside over the military affairs of You, Bing and Hezhou. If Maodun cannot hold on, he will be allowed to send troops to assist Maodun as appropriate."
For Manqin, Ying Hao would not send troops if he could not send troops, but for Yuan Meng, he would not be able to send troops, so he specially transferred Bai Qi to Youzhou to put pressure on Kublai Khan.
Bai Qi, a famous commander with 107, has been training troops in Jizhou in the past two years, which is indeed a waste.
Now that the Yuan and Qing dynasties are causing trouble again, it is time for Bai Qi to slaughter them out and engage in activities.
There are countless people from the Mongolian and Qing dynasties who died at Bai Qi''s hands. If he went to Youzhou, I believe Kublai Khan and Aguda would definitely feel under great pressure.
“By the way, the newly obtained position of prefect of the Guanxi counties cannot continue to be delayed.
Translator of my decree, and conferred: Ban Chao as the prefect of Fufeng, Changsun Wuji as the prefect of Feng Ling, Yang Jian as the prefect of Wuwei, and Ji Dan as the minister of Wuwei County;”
Ban Chao made a lot of contributions in this battle, and he was more than enough to be promoted to the prefect.
Yang Jian is now depressed and has always been upset about the destruction of the Yang family by Li Tang. If he doesn''t find some serious business for him and keeps him busy, he probably won''t be able to overcome this hurdle.
Ying Hao didn''t want Yang Jian to remain depressed, so he specially appointed Yang Jian, who had only political attributes of 78, to serve as the prefect of Wuwei County, and to let Ji Dan, who had political 102, serve as deputy.
In this way, Yang Jian will definitely be busy with heavy government affairs, so he will naturally have no energy to think about it.
As for Changsun Wuji, he did not surrender when he was captured, but after Li Tang was destroyed by his ally Shu Kingdom, he was no longer so persistent.
In the end, under the rotation of Yang Jian and Li Kui, Changsun Wuji chose to surrender. After all, Li Shimin was dead, and he had to continue moving forward while he was alive.
Changsun Wuji ranks first among the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and his abilities are high and balanced. It is naturally impossible for Ying Hao to use such a versatile talent.
In addition, Changsun Wuji has a great prestige among the Tang army. Even in order to appease the surrendered generals of the surrendered army, Ying Hao must value Changsun Wuji, so he was conferred the title of prefect this time.
As for Li Ku, who was seriously ill and unconscious, he also woke up under the treatment of Sun Simiao. After learning that Tang State was destroyed by Shu State, he was also surrendered by Li Xiuning.
The war between Qin and Tang dynasties was too fierce, and as the few remaining Li Tang royal family, Li Ku had to surrender even in order to preserve his family.
Li Kui has 94 intellectual attributes and 102 political attributes. Ying Hao naturally has to use such a golden political talent, so he is ready to be named Yongzhou Bianjia. Of course, not now.
As a surrendered minister, as soon as Li Kui surrendered, he became a state leader. If he had such a high position, many people would definitely not be convinced.
“Transferred to the Bohai County minister Cui Hao as the prefect of Anding;
Han Qi, the prefect of Changshan, was transferred to serve as the prefect of Longxi;
Cai Ze, the chief clerk of Xiangyang, was transferred to the prefect of Wudu;
The Nanyang County minister Lu Kai was transferred to the prefect of Hanyang;”
After enthroning four 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 in Luoyang''s heavenly prison, including many famous figures, such as:
King Liu Xiu of Chu was once the think tank Kou Xun;
The sand rolling curtain of the general under King Zhao Yuan Shao;
Shi Jingsi, a general under the command of King Li Shimin of Tang;
Li Guang, general under the command of Emperor Liu Che of Northern Han, and Zhao Chongguo, the general who pretended to surrender;
and the former crown prince Huang Taiji, prince Daishan, and royal family Yinsi;
Among these people, Kou Xun is undoubtedly imprisoned for more than ten years. Even Ying Hao has forgotten that there is such a person.
Shi Jingsi was imprisoned recently. He actually wanted to surrender, but his son Shi Jianyan and his two grandsons Shi Kuangyi and Shi Kuanghan both surrendered to Shu with Li Keyong and Li Siyuan.
In order not to cheat his children and grandchildren, Shi Jingsi could only refuse to surrender, but unexpectedly, the Qin Dynasty did not kill him, but imprisoned him in the Luoyang Heavenly Prison.
Shi Jingsi was very popular in Li Tang. When he learned that he would rather die than surrender, many surrendered generals such as Hua Xiong, Li Jue, and Fu Cunshen pleaded for him, which allowed him to escape death.
As for Huang Taiji, he has been imprisoned for more than two years.
When Huang Taiji was just imprisoned in heaven, he saw Kou Xun, who had been imprisoned for ten years, was full of fear.
He was afraid that he would be locked in prison and wasted his time, just like Kou Xun.
He would rather die in battle than accept such a way of death.
So, at that time, Huang Taiji thought that he would rather sacrifice some national interests than go out of this ghost place as soon as possible. After all, his identity as a prince is still of use.
But what Huang Taiji never expected was that since he was imprisoned, Daqin seemed to have forgotten his existence. Except for the fact that there were even senior officials who came to ask him for questions, no one had ever paid attention to him since then.
Huang Taiji was also extremely puzzled about this. After all, he was the prince of the Qing Dynasty. Is this how Daqin treating the prince of a country?
Huang Taiji told the prisoners many times, wanting to see Qin Emperor Ying Hao, but they were all ignored by the prisoners.
In order to attract the attention of the senior officials of the Qin Dynasty, Huang Taiji even tried his best to find a mistake. After being rescued, he still failed to see Ying Hao, and only saw Shen Lian, who was still a hundred households of the Jinyiwei at that time.
Now more than two years have passed, and Huang Taiji is gradually desperate.
As usual, Emperor Taiji chatted with Kou Xun to spend time, but he did not expect that a man in a brocade robe came to his prison.
Huang Taiji recognized the person at first sight as a eunuch, and if he wanted to kill him, it was impossible to send a **** here, so this also shows that this person was sent by Ying Hao.
A glimmer flashed in Huang Taiji''s eyes and he asked, "I wonder what this father-in-law is doing?"
Cao Zhengchun looked at Huang Taiji, who was malnourished and malnourished, and said, "Huang Taiji, Your Majesty summoned him."
Huang Taiji was stunned and was ecstatic.
Looking at Huang Taiji who had left the prison, Kou Xun was full of envy.
—————
The capital of the Qing Dynasty, Shengjing City.
When he learned that Agu was mobilizing troops and was about to send troops to attack him again, Dorgon knew that Agu would never retreat easily this time, so he immediately asked for help from the Qin Dynasty, but all he received was an extremely official response such as "The Qin army will not be unmanaged."
Although Dorgon was extremely dissatisfied with this, he had no choice but to hope that the Qin Dynasty would send troops to support, and even if he did not send troops, he would support a batch of armies.
Yinzhen walked into the house with an excited look on his face and said, "Your Highness, Envoy Qin has replied."
Hearing this, Dorgon also showed excitement and asked, "What did the Qin envoy say?"
"The Qin envoy said that the Qin Dynasty decided to release His Highness Huang Taiji back to his country."
"What?"
Dorgon screamed in surprise, and there was no joy on his face, and his expression was extremely difficult to see in an instant.
When Yinzhen saw Dorgon''s expression, he 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, you will get more support from Manchu.
Secondly, Aguda will lose his righteousness and be beaten to the rebellious side.
Third…
In short, there are many benefits, but the only disadvantage is that it will impact Dorgon''s power.
Dorgon thought about it over and over again and decided to accept Huang Taiji, after all, the enemy now is Aguda.
If the Aguda cannot be solved and the Aisin Jueluo family loses the throne, then it will be meaningless for their brothers to fight over and over again.
