Hetuala.Before the occupation of Liaoyang in the Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi and these eastern captives could only curl up in the not very rich city of Hetuala, wrapped in tiger skins like savages, eating barbecue without salt, drinking snow water without tea, and discussing next year's military strategy.However, at this time, Nurhachi and these people have not yet swallowed the ambition of the entire Ming Dynasty, and they are mostly discussing how to expand their living space.The first person to speak was Li Yongfang, the first Ming border general to surrender to Nurhachi.Because Li Yongfang is a Han Chinese, and he was still a border general of the Ming Dynasty before surrendering, he naturally has contact with many local military towns in Liaodi.And what Nurhachi wants now is to maintain a good relationship with the local military towns in Liaodi.Li Yongfang said to Nurhachi at this time: "Great Khan, the slave has learned the exact news from Li Ruzhen and others, the Liaodi military town is willing to keep in touch with us, and promised that he will still smuggle what we need when he has the opportunity in the future, but at present, Xiong Tingbi is a strategy, this person is strong and clear, and the investigation of smuggling is extremely strict, and even the homeless people can only live outside the city!"
Therefore, it is very difficult to fund our grain and grass, but the military towns of Liaodi and the merchants of Jindi are actively encouraging the Liao people to defend the strategy of Liaodi!
Once this policy was implemented by the Ming court, the military town of Liaodi would have its own money and food. ”"If this is the case, it is a good thing, once the military town of Liaodi has money and food, they will not exterminate us, and they will secretly help us to respect ourselves, otherwise they will not be able to ask the Ming court for money and food!"
Nurhachi nodded, summed up the situation during this period of time, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and said: "During this time, Xiong Tingbi has been sitting in Liaodi, so that we can't enter the size of the land, so that we can't get food and other things, and countless livestock have frozen to death and starved to death, if this continues, I'm afraid that we will freeze to death and starve to death!"
”As soon as Nurhachi said this, the four major Baylors and the five ministers who were the core power circle of the Eastern Capture at this time all showed displeasure.After all, Xiong Tingbi's time in Liaodong did make them have a miserable time, they couldn't grab anything, and they couldn't even smuggle if they wanted to, and their lives became more and more miserable."
What Father Khan said is that Xiong Tingbi has caused us a lot of trouble by staying in Liaodong, and it is impossible for us to hope that the Donglin Party will get rid of Xiong Tingbi, but this does not mean that Xiong Tingbi cannot be eliminated, because Xiong Tingbi has long caused the dissatisfaction of the Liaodong military town and many officials, as well as the dissatisfaction of the merchants of Jindi, but now we have not found a chance to get rid of him, and from the perspective of the slave, sooner or later Xiong Tingbi will come down from the position of Liaodong Economic Strategy!"
Huang Taiji, one of the four major Baylors, analyzed."
Now I only hope that the Liao people's strategy of defending Liao can really be used by the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and then my Dajin can still take a breath!"
He Heli, one of the five founding ministers under Nurhachi, spoke at this time.Nurhachi nodded for this.But at this time, another traitor and Liu Aita who had become Nurhachi's son-in-law ran in: "Father Khan, just now the son of the minister brought back the news from the Ming Kingdom, it is reported that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom Apocalypse has issued an edict to appoint Qin Liangyu as the chief military officer of Shenyang to replace You Shigong, and appointed Chen Ce as the chief military officer to aid Liao, leading the wolf soldiers to Liao, Tong Zhonghua as the deputy chief soldier, leading the Sichuan soldiers to Liao, promoting You Shigong and the deputy general Qi Jinguan to the first level, and ordered to return to Beijing to report on work. ”Nurhachi fell silent after hearing what Liu Aita said.The whole room suddenly became very quiet, and only the sound of the crackling of the wet wood could be heard.Everyone only bites on the barbecue meat that smells very strong in their hands.Boom!
Suddenly.Nurhachi stood up suddenly, shook his tiger skin, and kicked the wooden basin full of firewood to the ground, splattering countless bright red sparks.For a moment, Nurha's cheeks were clenched, and he bared his teeth and grinned: "Damn!
”At this time, one of the four great beylers, the great beyler daishan hurriedly asked, "Father Khan!
Qin Liangyu, Chen Ce, and Tong Zhonghua are just the generals of the guest army, not famous, and there are many deputy generals of the Ming court general army who have been annihilated by us, why is Father Khan so excited?
”Nurhachi glanced at Dai Shan and said angrily: "Ben Khan is angry with Zhu Youxiao, the son of the Ming Court!"
This man has humiliated my Dajin so much, and even used my Dajin as a thief for military training!
I have 40,000 horses, and he doesn't care!
It's disgusting!
”Nurhachi clenched his fists as he spoke, feeling a sense of grievance that he was not looked down upon by the great tomorrow.He Heli furrowed his brows at this time and said: "In this way, it is impossible for the Liao people to defend the Liao land, and this great tomorrow still uses the strategy of sending guest troops to Liao to fight against my Dajin!"
The Donglin Party and the Jin Merchants and the Liaodong Military Town, as well as our ideas, have all been shattered!
”As he spoke, He Heli looked at Nurha Equator and said, "Great Khan!
If you look at it this way, this new emperor of the Ming court is not such a stupid emperor, not as simple as the emperor who is longer than the hands of women in the deep palace as the Ming court officials say. ”Then, He Heli looked at the other Baylor and ministers with a solemn expression: "Right now, Dajin should be the most difficult moment since we started our army!"
It still depends on the unity and unity of our flags. ”One of the five ministers, Eyidu, said to Nurhachi: "Great Khan, it seems that in the short term, there is no longer any hope to break through the Ming court city, and the main thing is to go to the surrounding villages to collect grain, and if appropriate, you can only go to the Yehe Department first or directly enter the territory of Korea to collect food!"
After all, what we lack most now is food, salt, and other items!
”"Eyi is right, last year, Xiong Tingbi was strong and cleared, and we did not lay down Shenyang and Liaoyang, causing everyone to be very short of food, life was difficult, I thought that we could rely on the Donglin Party to get Xiong Tingbi out of power, but now this Ming court son does not let Xiong Tingbi step down, so that everyone has to starve through this winter, but now there is a spring famine, if you can't get food, you will really starve to death a large number of people, this year will not fight the big city, to go to the surrounding area to fight grain."
Nurhachi spoke at this time.And Huang Taiji suddenly said: "Father Khan, from the perspective of my sons, the current predicament of my Dajin is only temporary, and the situation that the Liao people can't be implemented by the Ming court is only temporary, because according to the Erchen's understanding of the Central Plains Dynasty and the understanding of the bureaucrats and gentry of the Ming court, they will not accept the Ming court's war in Liaodong into a war of attrition, because that will cost more silver, and the Ming emperor will have to increase taxes, and they, the bureaucrats and gentry, will have to take out more money and grain for military salaries!"
Therefore, they must try all kinds of ways to urge the imperial court to solve the Liao matter as soon as possible, if it can't be solved as soon as possible, they would rather let the Ming court give up the land outside the Guan!
I wouldn't be willing to let Ming Ting spend money to fight all the time!
In other words, these Han Chinese bureaucrats and gentry only accepted the way of quickly resolving the war or simply giving up worthless territory!
Therefore, Erchen thought that we should try our best to urge these Han bureaucrats and gentry to force their emperor to solve the Liao affairs as soon as possible, so that their emperor could adopt the strategy of the Liao people to defend the Liao land as soon as possible, and we could send people to walk inside the Ming court to spread rumors that what we were most afraid of was the local cavalry in Liaodong, and even only concentrate our forces to let the guest army suffer a heavy defeat, but try to show their defeat in front of the Liao soldiers and horses, so as to confuse the Ming court!
Erchen believes that in time, the Ming court will still use the strategy of the Liao people to defend the Liao territory, and then we will be able to break through the Liao border army and town generals through the temptation of Xu Yiguan and the division of the world, and we will be able to break through the Liao border army and disintegrate its fighting spirit, and finally force the Ming court to give up the land outside the pass!
