Bad?

Nurhachi was stunned, Gong Zhengliu has been searching for news for him for the past two years, and listening to his words, it is obvious that he has found something.

"Who made our Jianzhou bad, did Mr. hear something?" Zhen Ying asked.

Gong Zhengliu nodded slightly to his students, and then said to Nurhae: "King Khan, I have a person who has been bribed by the governor of Liaodong Yamen to report that there is a eunuch in Beijing who has revealed to the emperor that he wants to change customs in our Liaodong, change the Jurchens to Han people, ask the Jurchens to speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, learn Chinese customs, use Chinese names, do not allow our Jurchens to cut out their hair, to learn their Han hair, not to allow our Jurchens to wear the current clothes, to wear the same as the Han people, but also to set up Sinology in our Jurchens, and establish a Han Museum, Tell us Jurchen children to learn the scriptures and history of the Han people, and when we grow up, we will take their imperial examinations..."

Gong Zhengliu told everything he knew, he was from Zhejiang, and he was taken captive by the Jurchens when he lived in Liaodong with his father, but he was a Jurchen, so it can be seen that he did not regard himself as a Han for a long time, and sincerely considered for the Jurchens.

When Babuhai, the eleventh son of Nurhachi, heard what Mr. Gong said, he didn't feel that something was wrong, but said happily: "Isn't this a good thing? If we Jurchens can be officials in the imperial examination like the Han people, maybe we can become big officials. ”

After saying that, he found that the movement in the hall was wrong, his brothers were all looking at him, and the ministers looked strange, so frightened that he immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing

"You know what?" Nurhachi reprimanded Babuhai and snorted slightly, "That eunuch wants the emperor to change the land and return to the river in our state." ”

"King Khan is right, this strategy is to change the land and return to the stream." Gong Zhengliu affirmed, and then sneered, "If the imperial court really accepts this method, it will only take twenty years, and the Jurchen clan will be wiped out." ”

"Extermination?!"

When the elder brothers and ministers heard this, there was an uproar.

"Amma, shaving hair is the custom of my Jurchens, and this braid is the sign of our Jurchens! Without this braid, we would no longer be Jurchens, but Han Chinese! Dai Shan said angrily.

"What kind of change of customs, obviously I want to use this move to kill my Jurchen! Amma, if we Jurchens all dress like Han Chinese, it won't take twenty years for our dolls to know that they are Han Chinese, not Jurchens. Although Mang Gurtai is reckless, he can see the harm to Jianzhou in this matter.

"To change customs is to break the backbone of our Jurchens, if we really want them to do it, we will become Han Chinese. Without the identity of the Jurchens, how can the imperial court still care about us, how can it still use us. ”

What Gong Zhengliu didn't say meant was that if he really wanted to change customs in Jianzhou and assimilate the Jurchens into Han Chinese, then the Aixin Jueluo family, who led Jianzhou, would no longer have the status and power they have today. First, the imperial court will transfer a large number of liuguan to rule Jianzhou, and second, it will definitely select new officials from within Jianzhou. Twenty or thirty years from now, Jianzhou will definitely be the same as Kannai, and most of the current nobles will be replaced.

"It's really bad for us." Nurha snorted, "If you tell us to grow your hair and change clothes, you will let me exterminate the clan!" ”

"This strategy is extremely vicious, but fortunately, the emperor did not adopt it." Gong Zheng Liudao.

Nurhachi nodded, thought of something, and said, "This matter is a reminder to Ben Khan. There are a lot of people in Jianzhou now, but there are also a lot of Han people. We Jurchens cut their hair, but the Han people don't pick it, they have a lot of people, we have few people, this dress is not the same, in the end they still see us as a foreign race, and we also regard them as a foreign race, this is not good, they will be afraid of us for a while, but after a long time, it is inevitable that someone will jump out and be hostile to us. ”

"What Amma said is very true." Dai Shan echoed.

"Chuan Ben Khan's order, the Han people who beat Ming'er and Jianzhou must cut their hair, forcing them to change into our Jurchen clothes... In a word, the Han people in our Jianzhou, including their children and grandchildren, must live according to the customs of our Jurchens and forget the way of life of their ancestors! … If they don't want to, we'll kill them until they're scared, and they'll have no backbone and no backbone. In this way, we don't have to worry that these Han people will rebel, because they are all the same as us. ”

After announcing this order, Nurha's red eyes looked at Gong Zhengliu like an arrow: "Sir, do you know who revealed this secret to the emperor?" ”

"Say it's a eunuch."

Gong Zhengliu's news was bought from the governor's yamen, but he didn't know the specifics.

"You have all seen that the people of the Ming Kingdom want to kill my Jurchen and try their best, but how can my Jurchen be swallowed by those evil schemes!"

Nurhachi was full of pride and stood for a long time, and finally decided to adopt the strategy of Zhenying and expand the Eight Banners for future wars. He sat down and looked around at the princes and ministers, and said in a loud voice: "Now that the territory of Jianzhou is several times larger, the population is increasing day by day, and some of them are difficult to control. At that time, I changed the name of the Ring Knife Army, the Iron Hammer Army, the Red Army, and the Neng Shooting Army to the Yellow, White, Red, and Blue Four Banners, each with a flag owner, and a solid mountain under it, and a Bull Record under the solid mountain. Three hundred people are a cow record, and the amount is really one. At that time, there were only 20,000 people, and it was not easy for the banner master to identify the amount of his cattle records, but now that he has received Ula, my Jurchen has reached more than 60,000 people with armor and strings, and I am afraid it is even more difficult. ”

Hearing Amma's words, Zhenying couldn't help but feel moved in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Ama created the Four Banners in the past, and most of them are used to it, so there is no need to change it. The so-called tree is a big branch, there are many branches, you might as well expand the four flags into eight flags, still take 300 people as a bull record, only combine the five cattle records into a Jiala, the five Jiala is called a solid mountain, the leader of the solid mountain can lead 7,500 foot cavalry, called the banner master. Then all the Han people were divided into banners, cultivated in peacetime, and recruited in wartime. In this way, 60,000 soldiers and horses are exactly divided into eight banners. ”

Nurhachi said "um" and asked Yuying: "In your opinion, how to set up the flags?" ”

Zhenying already had a charter, and immediately said: "Niu Lu has a leader, and there are two generations, four Zhangjing, and four Paishku. One ox is divided into four dadans, each of which is governed by a zhangjing and a paishku; A staff member shall be appointed to the Jiala; There is one in Gushan and two in Mehler. ”

Nurhachi nodded: "Then what are the names of the new four flags?" ”

Zhen Ying said: "The yellow, white, red, and blue military flags set by Ama have their own roots, have great meanings, and cannot be changed lightly. Erchen thought that it was enough to only inlay the military flags of the four new flags with lace to show the difference. Each flag member customizes the armor with this, and you can see the style of the armor to determine the belonging. ”

"Great idea! At that time, when I created the Four Flags, I was like the sun in red, the earth in yellow, water in white, and the sky in blue. We Jurchens, relying on the sky and the earth, with water and sun, can make a fortune. In this way, he dominates the military horses, and is naturally invincible. ”
