Chapter 328 Lying in Liaodong
The next morning, the west gate of Yehnara opened, and the flow of ants walked out, old men, children, women, and some nobles among the Jurchens. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThey carried their own things in large bags, and because of the explanation of Huang Taiji in advance, they were mostly filled with some food and warm clothes.
Valuables such as gold and jewelry are of little use to the Jurchens who are about to migrate, and Xiong Tingbi will not let them take them away, these are all his own trophies, otherwise he will not look good in front of the emperor if he returns empty-handed.
And for these things that cannot be eaten and cannot be reconciled, he does not have the slightest idea, what he values is the population of the tribe. Yehnara was just a city to live in, and his handicraft workshops were all outside the city, what kind of blacksmith shop, and now, these craftsmen will be taken away by him with the Jurchens.
Looking at the weaving flow of people, Huang Taiji's eyes kept looking inside, and whenever he saw a familiar figure, he would be a little happy, but after confirming it, his face was disappointed.
"My big Yu'er, where are you?" Huang Taiji shouted in his heart, his eyes swept over the flow of people inch by inch, but his expression became more and more disappointed, and even a little pale.
"Great Khan!"
Until, a coquettish cry came, Huang Taiji seemed to come to life, and quickly looked ahead, over there, a slender and slender figure was stumbling towards this side, and faintly, there was a trace of crying.
In the early morning sun, the two people who loved each other hugged each other excitedly, and the guards around them just watched silently, with complicated expressions.
However, the good times were short-lived, and after three days with his beloved Bumu Butai, Huang Taiji had to face the harsh reality of the migration of the entire Jurchen tribe.
Xiong Tingbi's appearance taught him a good lesson, the Ming army has the ability to interfere with this place at any time, he doesn't know what has happened to the Ming army, but with the experience gained from many battles, Huang Taiji noticed that the Ming army is getting stronger step by step.
Not only is it more advanced firearms and equipment, but also the earth-shaking spiritual outlook, when facing Li Tu's cavalry, he almost couldn't believe that this was actually the army of the Ming Dynasty, and it was not until this time that he faced the troops led by Xiong Tingbi that he regained a little self-confidence, and this time it was a normal Ming army.
It's just that Huang Taiji actually knows in his heart that there will be fewer and fewer troops like Xiong Tingbi's subordinates, and the situation of Jurchen will deteriorate even more.
If you don't leave now, when will you stay!
A large number of horses are full of burdens, the old and the young help each other, everyone carries things, with all kinds of carriages and horses, slowly set off and leave, a huge team, but only more than 30,000 cavalry guards, it is really sad.
As for the remaining 5,000 Mongol cavalry, under the leadership of Azig, they left first, and they went to the Horqin Department to ask for help, asking the other side to send a large army to meet the two first.
The Horqin tribe has a wide range of activities, not only on the Mongolian Plateau, but also in the Nenjiang Plain.
(A mistake is corrected here, the first two chapters write that the passage on the east side of Chahanhot is on the west side of Zhenbei Pass, which is written incorrectly, it should be in the north, further north of the Horqin grassland, and the south side of Horqin is Zhenbei Pass.) )
Last time, because his tail was chopped by Li Tu, Huang Taiji could only go around in circles with him in the mountains, playing hide and seek, and wanted to rely on his own strength to eliminate the other party, but at this time, it was a matter of life and death for the entire tribe, and he didn't care about face, so he sent someone to ask for help from the Horqin Department.
The entire Daxing'an Mountains are vertical and horizontal, and the remaining veins are continuous, and the Horqin and Chahar divisions are separated by these residual veins. These are mountains, but they are more like hills, just rugged and uneven, but there is always a place for flattening. The Horqin Grassland, where Horqin lives, is such a flat place.
It is an impact plain between the southern foot of the Great Khing'an Mountains and the West Liao Mountains, the terrain is flat, the water and grass are abundant, and a little further north of him is the city of Chahanhot and the valley that runs through the periphery of the Great Khing'an Mountains.
When Zhu Youxiao and Li Tu led their men and horses to the south, they all passed through Horqin's chassis, but Horqin secretly moved away and hid because he was timid and cautious. And Huang Taiji's purpose is to find the Horqin tribe in this situation and get help.
Although Korqin was nomadic from place to place, with the help of his own cavalry, he could still find it quickly. With Korqin's help, he will get more horses from the tribes scattered on the steppe, and when he has enough mobility, he will be able to lead his tribe to find a better place.
For the Horqin Department, Huang Taiji is very relieved, the connection between the two tribes can be said to be quite close, such as himself, there are several side concubines in the harem who are from the Horqin Department.
What's more, even if the other party resists, the 30,000 elite cavalry in his hands is not something that Horqin can resist, and maybe the two will become one at that time.
When the cavalry behind the Emperor Taiji Palace withdrew, they waited for another three days, and after making sure that the Jurchens were not playing any tricks to attack the east and west, and encircled the point to send reinforcements, Xiong Tingbi's men and horses dared to go out of the city and sent people to send news to the Guannei. And he himself counted the seizures with an excited face.
The messenger who reported the news did not travel long before he met the Janissary sentry who had been scouting in advance in Fushun, and soon the messenger was brought to the emperor for questioning.
The entire Jurchen tribe abandoned Yehnara and migrated away, missing its whereabouts.
This is the news that Zhu Youxiao got after repeated inquiries, this news really surprised him, he never thought that Huang Taiji would have such courage to move away with the Jurchens gathered in Yehenara.
Yehenara is only the center of the Jurchens, and not all the Jurchens gather here, not to mention that not all the Jurchens are willing to travel around the mountains and rivers, so in the end, it is only 200,000 elite people who really follow Huang Taiji, 50,000 artisan slaves who have plundered more than 50,000 times, and 30,000 elite cavalry. This is all the belongings of Huang Taiji.
And outside Yehenara and the entire border wall, there are probably more than 100,000 Jurchen tribes scattered, and in fact, these people are equivalent to being abandoned by Huang Taiji.
"I wanted to drive you away, but you didn't say hello and run away on your own." Regarding the sudden change after that, Zhu Youxiao could only complain silently in his heart.
However, there was a scene where Lin Danhan did not follow his strategic plan before, and at this time, in the face of this kind of unplanned thing, Zhu Youxiao still restrained it very well.
After being surprised, Zhu Youxiao also immediately sent people to find traces, trying to track down most of the other party's people. But at this time, it was the time of the thaw in the northeast, the water vapor was filled, the roads were even more blurry, and there was nothing left that could provide clues. Soon, Huang Taiji was not stupid, and naturally knew that he would send someone to eliminate the traces of the tribe's march at this time.
In other words, Huang Taiji temporarily disappeared from the eyes of the Ming Emperor with a huge population. This situation made Zhu Youxiao a little stunned and a little ridiculous.
His original purpose was indeed to drive out the Jurchens. This idea also stems from the depths of his memory, as if a certain novel did this, using the Jurchens as a kind of vanguard, using their hundreds of thousands of people to keep rushing north and west, using their lives to explore these barren places.
Many places will be very troublesome when you first enter, and you don't know how to deal with them, but it will be much better after having someone go to the mines, and in terms of the lives of the predecessors, Daming will be able to better control these places.
Originally, at that time, he included Lin Dan Khan in this strategic plan, but he ignored the reality, the grassland is so vast, it is not at all limited by his little man, so Lin Dan Khan is still as in history, after being defeated by Huang Taiji, he took Chahar headquarters to Guihua City.
Although the process is slightly different, the end result is very similar. Without Lin Dan Khan, Zhu Youxiao is not annoyed, isn't there still a Jurchen left, it is absolutely impossible for Huang Taiji to watch himself sink like this, he is more stoic than Lin Dan Khan, and he will definitely not stick to the dead place of Yehenara.
Moreover, although the Northeast has been under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty before, and the Nuer Gandu Division has been set up, it is an indirect management, just like the Tusi in Guizhou and Sichuan, with the local people as managers and jurisdiction over affairs. Obviously, various historical facts have proven that the failure of such measures is the right way to change the land and return to the stream.
Let the Jurchen prestige drive forward, open the way in the northeast, and then Zhu Youxiao's army will accept it in the back, it is a wonderful thing to think about. But, to his surprise again, the Jurchens disappeared, although there were still hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of slaves scattered outside the border walls, but this was not the main body of the Jurchens.
All the nobles, all the leaders of the Eight Banners, all the skilled and literate Jurchens and slaves were gone. This news was discovered by Xiong Tingbi, who was entrenched in Yehenara, after receiving Zhu Youxiao's order.
"It's really ......." Zhu Youxiao shook his head, not knowing what to say. Although this time it was a great success in terms of solving the hidden dangers of border defense, it was a complete failure for his own initial strategic vision.
"What do you do now?" Faced with this complicated situation, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but ponder. The reason why he chose to go out at this time was to get out of the way, so that everyone in the world would know that he was no longer in the capital, and then ........ some rats might jump out at this time.
When the weeds are cleared, the whole world should be quiet. Whether it is the clan relatives, the landlords and gentry, or some people in the officialdom, after letting them jump out, they will become famous.
"In that case, I will sharpen the knife again." Thinking of the domestic situation, Zhu Youxiao decided his next action, and there was no external training, so he carried out internal training.
It just so happened that the terrain of eastern Liaodong was vast, and although there were residents in many places, much farmland had not been cultivated, so it was just the opportunity to take advantage of this vast area to carry out large-scale military training and systematic and in-depth education.
This time, two large Mongolian tribes were intercepted in succession, and the captured war horses alone amounted to 200,000 or 300,000 horses, which just completed the current process of mule and horse transformation of all the central armies.
The Yulin Army, the Xiliu Army, the Hussar Army, and the Xiao Cavalry Army, each army has 50,000 people, exactly 200,000.
Baicheng and Zhenbeiguan are close to each other, and they can be connected through the Horqin grassland, which is vast, which is an excellent place for military training, and can also find the hidden Horqin Department at the same time.
The last time he went south from the Baicheng Valley, although he passed through the Horqin grassland, he didn't encounter a single herdsman, and he didn't know where the Horqin tribe was when the Jurchens fought for the world were said to be extremely powerful. Otherwise, Zhu Youxiao wouldn't mind beating rabbits with grass and getting rid of a large Mongolian tribe.
But now it's okay to train the troops, and at the same time take those small tribes for actual combat, conquer them, or take out their elite population as soldiers, or let them engage in some kind of labor production on a fixed basis, and exchange products and Ming for living materials.
There are many small tribes in the northeast, and the area is also vast, and I don't know how much wealth is hidden during the period. Moreover, it is adjacent to North Korea, so it is just the opportunity to solve the North Korean problem.
Since Guanghaijun and Jurchen have signed an alliance under the city and are willing to be a vassal state, then don't blame Daming's father for being unkind. Zhu Youxiao vaguely remembered that the northern part of North Korea seemed to be mountainous, but it seemed to contain rich iron ore.
Moreover, faintly, Zhu Youxiao also has the meaning of taking this Liaodong as a retreat, if the country really can't be cleaned up, there are too many rebels, to the point that the whole country is against him, he also has a place to hide, with the 200,000 central army on hand, he will definitely be able to achieve the final victory, but it will take some time.
Many considerations flashed in Zhu Youxiao's mind, and then he sorted them out step by step and turned them into executable strategies. After he thought clearly, he took out the seal he carried with him and began to issue orders, and the entire Liaodong, under the command of countless holy decrees, began to tremble.
Jingshi, Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.
Eight pavilion elders were holding a meeting around the round table, and at the meeting, Xu Guangqi, who was sitting in the chief, was furious and angrily reprimanded.
"Xiong Wencan, this old thing, what is he doing, even now, he hasn't started to launch land reform, does he want to fight against the central government?" Don't look at Xu Guangqi's usual appearance as a good person, but when he starts his temper, it's a little scary.
Wang Zuo, who was sitting next to him, picked up the document that fell on the ground, looked down, and finally read some key sentences.
What Shandong disaster has been controlled, there is no need to be in a hurry, and use land reform to stabilize the people's hearts; The White Lotus Sect has been wiped out, and without the provocative people, the people will not be in turmoil; The food delivery is timely, the disaster situation has stabilized, and the implementation of cash-for-work is also very good, and the people have food, clothing, and work, and there is no need to have more trouble.
And so on, and so on, and so on, and so on. Xiong Tingbi is known for his eloquence in history, and his performance is called a vertical and horizontal person, which is reflected in the literary style, which is also extremely smooth and legitimate, and it looks like people can't find fault with it.
But disrespecting the orders of the cabinet is disobeying the orders, no matter how beautiful the reason is, it can't hide this fact, which is why Xu Guangqi is furious.
"Not only Shandong, but also several other provinces have sent documents." Zhu Xieyuan also took out a stack of documents, and then read them one by one, he didn't read it from beginning to end, he knew Jinshi's urine sex well, and so did himself, he must show off his style at the beginning, write a lot of nonsense, and the text is often in the last paragraph.
After he picked up the fold, he just looked at it from the end, and then read it out one by one, so that the other pavilion elders present could listen to it. Listen, almost everyone in the room frowned.
The thirteen inland provinces of the Ming Dynasty are stacked like a mountain, but there are almost no states and counties for the same reasons, what folk boiling, it is not good to carry out work, what gentry oppose it, unable to go to the countryside, and even some of the compromises are faintly pointed out, the place is unstable, and there are probably unbearable things to forcibly promote!
"Blackmail, they're blackmailing the cabinet." When Xu Guangqi heard this, he was furious again, and he couldn't even carry out the preliminary work of land reform and land measurement, and even said that there was something unbearable to forcibly promote, which was not a threat.
The same goes for several others. There are eight people in the cabinet, oh no, counting Li Ruhua, who is lying on the bed and can't move, it is nine people, although he has a large amount of land in his family, he has already written a letter to his family at this time to instruct his family to report all the land in the family to the county office, and wait for the division of land at any time.
After being in the cabinet for a while, almost everyone's horizons and insights have greatly increased, and they can clearly feel the emperor's determination to change the world. What's more, if you want to get rich and make a fortune, the inheritance is not a must, it is not necessary to land, and the business name, oh no, is a company, and it is also a good choice.
What's more, His Majesty also granted them the right to operate 3,000 acres of land, in addition to the land that can be distributed by the head, they can also contract another 3,000 acres, which is too cost-effective. Although there is a tax on the operation of land, the tax rate for this grain is very low, and it can be said that it is another thing that can be passed down for a long time.
There are no fools in the world, as long as there is an official body, even if it is the lowest nine-grade official body, plus enough money, then you can contract at least 1,000 acres of land, which is a real benefit, if you do not carry out land reform, those low-grade officials will not have so much land at all.
And now, although he doesn't have so much money, but with this permission, he can attract the old wealth that has spare money at home, but can't use it to make money, and the land will be deprived.
For these things, Bi Ziyan, who is good at finance, thinks very clearly and thoroughly, so he can see some other differences from the recitals recited by Zhu Xieyuan.
"In my opinion, I'm afraid it's not the coercion of those county prefects, but the local situation." Bi Ziyan put forward a different opinion, which made others look a little sideways.
He did not hide his opinions, especially on the policy of distributing land contract rights to officials in different amounts, and he gave them all the answers he received when he wrote to ask his relatives and friends who were local officials.
[Author's digression]: Back to the Winter Scorpion Fire Horse book friend, thank you for reading the book so carefully, putting forward so many suggestions, I know that it has been written very rough recently, but there is no way, this is the first book to be signed, and there is no outline or anything like that, it is completely written by feeling, and it is not a history class of graduates, and a lot of information can not be found, so it can only be written. To be honest, real life is very heavy, and when I write these recently, I am all confused, and I can't help it while I write.
I don't know how long I'm going to write this book, but I can only say that I will try to stick to it for now, until I can't write it anymore.
