Ashes

When Huang Taiji came back, everyone in the family was busy.

Perhaps because it is a new home, many places are a bit dirty, and Zhe Zhe is leading these servants to clean.Standing under a beam, she raised her head, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she was pointing at a corner for someone to wipe.

Seeing Zhe Zhe always makes Huang Taiji think of his sister Meng Gu, who is so gentle and peaceful, uncontested with the world, just like a pool of clear water, calm and calm, slightly rippling, able to wash away everything in the world of filth.So Huang Taiji treats Zhe Zhe very well, he can't tell what true love is, but Huang Taiji knows that he will never let this woman down in his life.

Zhezhe saw that Huang Taiji was back, and greeted him with a smile, but maybe he felt that he was covered in dust, so he didn't get too close, and stopped a step away from him: "Master Belle is back, this place is dirty, first Go sit in the side hall and I'll make you some tea."

"Go ahead, I'm going to the study."

"Okay, then I'll have the tea delivered to the study."

Zhezhe sent him outside the house before returning.

For Huang Taiji, with such a Fujin, the family can feel completely at ease, and can devote all their energies to external affairs.

After entering the study, his thoughts slowly returned to the previous meeting. While everyone was arguing, he expressed his intention to attack Ye He, which completely hit Nurhachi's mind.

The Jurchen tribe can be divided into four major divisions, namely Jianzhou Jurchen, Hulun Jurchen, Changbai Jurchen, and Donghai Jurchen. The latter two are relatively backward, and the powerful ones are the Jianzhou Jurchen and Hulun Jurchen where Nurhachi is located.Hulun Jurchen, also known as Haixi Jurchen, has Yehe tribe, Ula tribe, Hada tribe, and Huifa tribe. The other three tribes have been conquered by Nurhachi. Now only Yehe tribe, the tribe from the Menggu sister, is left. Still lingering.

Huang Taiji had just turned a few pages of the book when Dorgon came.

"Are we going to fight Ye He?" Dorgon asked straight to the point not long after he sat down.

"Yeah, this is our fourth expedition to Yehe, Father Khan has been waiting for this day for a long time." Excitement flashed in Huang Taiji's eyes.

"how about you?"

"Me? What's wrong with me?" Huang Taiji didn't quite understand what Dorgon meant. "The people of Yehe's tribe were too arrogant. At the beginning of the battle of Sarhu, Yehe sent troops to support the Ming Dynasty. They haven't pursued it yet. When we attacked Kaiyuan, they actually sent troops again, that guy Wu Jintai died by my sword."

"Don't you feel embarrassed?"

"You want to say it's because of my Er Niang?" Huang Taiji smiled, his tone was calm but extremely firm, "Although Er Niang was born in the Yehenala clan, since she married, she belongs to Father Khan Now, and I am also a descendant of Aixinjueluo. Others will suspect that I will not do my best when fighting Ye He, so why do you doubt me?"

Dorgon didn't know if it was his sincere words or superficial efforts, he just listened silently.

"The Ming Dynasty adopted a divide-and-conquer strategy for us Jurchens. It never wanted any of us to be strong. In the past, when the Yehe tribe and the Ula tribe were strong, he helped us fight Ulay Yehe. Now that we are strong, he will help Yehe. Come and beat us. Now that they are too busy to take care of themselves, it is a great opportunity to destroy Yehe."

He said the word extinction calmly and decisively.

"If we can win this time, then we will basically unify the Jurchen tribe. Only with a unified and stable situation can the tribe live with peace of mind. This is the basis for our continued expansion. Everything is developing on the positive side..."

When Huang Taiji said this, his eyes shone with light, and there was a faint fanaticism, which he would not show normally, and even if it was revealed, it would not be easy to detect.It was a kind of vigorous ambition, hidden under his calm and introverted temperament.

Dorgon could see that he really wanted to destroy Ye He.

Unify the state, unify the Jurchen, unify Manchuria, and unify the world.Step by step, it is his ambition to dominate. Under this hegemony, what about the blood relationship that has been diluted a little bit?What's more, in Yehe City, he had never even seen that uncle with a name.

"When I was 12 years old, Er Niang was seriously ill. When I missed my hometown, they didn't even want to come over alone, and they didn't even want to see Er Niang for the last time. They let Er Niang pass away with regrets. Why should I treat her? Are they showing mercy?"

Dorgon saw the corners of his eyebrows twitching slightly, and the fingers pinching the pages of the book trembled involuntarily.There is no love for them, only hatred, and after so many years, it can't be diminished in the slightest.

If the 12-year-old Huang Taiji is too weak to protect his mother, then he is strong enough now, but he has no chance.This is always the case.

This hatred is the same as Nurhachi's.The feud with Ye He has been going on for a long time, and it's time to end it.

A smile suddenly appeared on Huang Taiji's stern and serious face, and his tone softened a lot: "You see, I can't stop talking, and it doesn't matter whether you like to listen or not, you didn't say a few words once you entered the room. Blame me."

"No, I like to hear myna talk about it."

He returned to his normal appearance again, without resentment or fanaticism, with a calm, gentle and calm appearance.

He is so well hidden.

Dorgon looked at him, trying to see his heart from his eyes: "Mynah, don't be sad, if your mother knows, she will be sad."

Huang Taiji looked up in surprise, and then smiled: "I need you to comfort me, but it seems that I am useless."

"When will the troops be dispatched?"

"It is tentatively scheduled for late August, which is the second half of the month."

"Then first wish myna a triumphant return."

"Thank you. When I'm not around, don't do bad things." Huang Taiji's mouth curled into a half-smile.

Dorgon was shocked, and the alarm sounded in his head.

What does this mean?What is a bad thing?What did he guess?

Huang Taiji's expression changed when he saw that he was so frightened, he laughed and said, "I mean, this time you and Duoduo should stay in the city with peace of mind and stop running around."

Really just that?Seeing Huang Taiji's narrow eyes, Dorgon felt that he might be overthinking, secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and wiped the sweat from his palms: "After the last lesson, Duoduo is now obedient, and he just messes around all day long. Knives and guns."

"That's a good thing." Huang Taiji smiled again, "By the way, there is something that needs your help."

"Me? Starling, do you still need my help?" Dorgon said unexpectedly.

"Well, probably it's up to you."

"I thought only Jierharang could do things for you."

"Jirhalang will also go out this time, so it can only be you."

"What's the matter?"

Huang Taiji ordered Dundari to bring people, and after a while, a falconer came with a falcon.

Unexpectedly, at this time, he actually got another eagle.

"This is?" Dorgon wondered.This falcon is bigger than the one from a few years ago, but not as fierce as the previous one, but it looks more well-trained and obviously has been kept for a long time.

"During my absence, take care of me."

Even though he said that, he actually meant to give the eagle to himself.

"I..." Dorgon hesitated.

"Why? Don't you want to? Or are you afraid?"

If you want to be afraid, shouldn't you be more afraid?It was you who had an accident last time.Dorgon thought to himself.He doesn't care about the past few years?

"I remember you said that you like falcons, and you also said that you want falcons. Don't you like falcons?"

"I like it, but I'm afraid I can't raise it well."

"It's fine, as long as you like it." Huang Taiji said in a relaxed tone.

Dorgon looked at Falcon, then at the smiling Huang Taiji, and finally nodded.

Taking the falcon home, Dorgon was thinking about it all the way.

When Huang Taiji sent this eagle, he was clearly testing his attitude again, but how could a person be so stupid as to use the same trick twice?So what did he mean by sending the eagle?But this eagle does look very majestic, its wings are spread out, longer than the arms of an adult, its eyes are piercing, vigilant about its surroundings.

He is a good eagle, and his vision is really good.Dorgon was so happy in his heart that he couldn't help laughing.

When I got home, it was almost evening. I thought about going to say hello to Er Niang first, but I didn't expect her to be away.

It's almost dinner time, where did she go?

Recalling Daishan's glance during the day, Dorgon suddenly felt bad.

Could it be that she went to see Daishan?

Dorgon panicked, because he knew what the consequences would be in the future, so he was particularly afraid of this matter.But what could he do?You don't have to run to his mother and say, mother, you can't have an affair with Daishan, it will kill you.

Not only can't he say that, he can't say it either.Thinking about it this way made Dorgon very anxious.

This matter must be stopped as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Dorgon thought about it, so he left home and went straight to Daishan's house.

When I went to Daishan's house and asked, Daishan was not there.

"Big Baylor is not at home, little brother will you come tomorrow?" His servant said.

Dorgon's heart sank, and he made up his mind: "Then I'll wait for him? Is that okay?"

Dorgon said it innocently, so others naturally had no reason to reject him.

After waiting for an entire hour, the sun had already set, and several cups of tea had been changed. After Dorgon's butt hurt from sitting and almost fell asleep, he waited for Daishan to come back.

"Second brother!" When Dangshan came back, Dorgon greeted him with a smile.
