Chapter 16: Snatching People
If there is anything in this world that Grandpa Wei cannot tolerate the most, it must be that others do not lend him money.
The nature of this kind of thing is too bad, more serious than someone cuckolding Father-in-law Wei, and it is absolutely unbearable for Father-in-law.
Originally, he crossed the sea to Liaonan this time and just wanted to pick people up, and he didn't think about going over to trouble Nurhachi, after all, Ren Hachi is now the governor of Jianzhou in the imperial court, the dragon and tiger general from the second grade, and the military and political officer of the Ming Dynasty.
He is a eunuch in Wei's father-in-law, and this will go to find trouble, at least it will destroy the system, destroy the relationship between the court and the locality, and be detrimental to the unity of the border people; To put it bigger, it is a disaster for the eunuch temple.
The impact is really bad.
Of course, the most important thing is that his father-in-law Wei is not hard enough now, and he can't withstand the tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the slave governor, otherwise he won't be afraid of the great impact.
Moreover, I just had a real fight with Li Qigongzi in front of me, and I packed the Jinzhou guard of the imperial court into my own private soldier, and I don't know if the news was reported to the imperial court, will the emperor scold Niang Xipi, if he meets the soldiers of Jianzhou Dadu again, the emperor may not be able to disperse the eggs.
Considering the political risk of the emperor's pain, Grandpa Wei will definitely not ask for trouble.
To say that the father-in-law borrowed money from Nurhachi, the starting point is still good, he sincerely invited the black-faced old man to invest in the maritime industry, and the two sides established a good strategic partnership to develop hand in hand and jointly promote the economic progress of the Ming Dynasty.
The money, more than 300,000 taels is a little more, but the return is several times, or even dozens of times.
Father-in-law Wei is not the kind of person who borrows money and does not pay it back, nor is he by no means a person who raises money and runs away, he can pat his chest and guarantee that as long as Nurhachi enters this stock, he will definitely not be able to suffer a loss.
If he didn't still have a trace of illusion of a peaceful settlement, could his father-in-law count this good thing from heaven as his love for the Xinjue Luo family?
There is nothing in the world that cannot be solved with money.
Isn't it also a great benevolent and virtuous government to promote the economic development of Jianzhou through the great maritime industry, so that the people of Jianzhou can get rid of poverty and become rich, and improve the living environment.
As long as Nurhachi did not fight against the flag for a day, Gonggong Wei still regarded the people of Jianzhou as a member of the Ming court, and the great contradiction also belonged to the internal contradiction of the people.
But his kindness is regarded by others as a donkey's liver and lungs, and he sincerely borrows money, and the other party doesn't borrow it to pay it back, and his father-in-law can understand that General Longhu may be really poor, but what does it mean to give a thousand taels?
Does being a father-in-law ask for food?
What can a thousand taels do?
Just buy eight taels of jade wrench fingers in my father-in-law's hand!
The father-in-law who is angry can't bear it, what he hates most in his life is that people doubt his character.
He looks like the kind of guy who borrows money and doesn't pay it back!
In order to prove his character, his father-in-law must take measures, not just shouting, but taking practical actions.
Idle is also idle, Li Ruwu's account has not been collected for the time being, and his father-in-law can't leave for a while, so he wastes his youth in Lushun, so it is better to go to the north for a walk.
As the saying goes, if you don't want it, I'll take it myself.
The idea is mature, not a momentary indignation.
Nurhachi will be called Khan in two years, and his strength in founding the country comes from the unification of the Jurchen tribes and the annexation of the six forts of Kuandian, these two events have enabled the state to obtain a large number of people, so that Nurhachi can be "out of production" with his soldiers and horses.
Only the army that has lost its production can let go of the plunder, and can loot more territory and supplies, because their "spoils" will be effectively digested and converted into energy for the next attack.
Therefore, in order to effectively crack down on the establishment of states, it is necessary to reduce its population.
The Six Forts of Kuandian are undoubtedly a good target.
In the early years of Wanli, Wang Daokun, a soldier of the military department, inspected the border in Liaodong, and Li Chengliang suggested that the Gushan Fort should be moved to Zhangqi Ha Ladian, the dangerous mountain fort should be moved to Kuandian, and the four forts of Xin'an along the river should be moved to Changdian and Changling.
Wang Daokun reported to the imperial court, and the imperial court thought that it could be implemented. After more than 30 years of construction and development, the livelihood of the population of Liubao has become increasingly prosperous, with more than 64,000 households and nearly 400,000 people.
However, eight years ago, Li Chengliang suggested to Chaojian to abandon Liubao and relocate hundreds of thousands of residents there to the interior on the grounds that it was lonely and difficult to hold.
The residents of Liubao were attached to their families and refused to leave, so Li Chengliang drove them away with a large army, causing a lot of bloodshed and many deaths. A considerable number of Liubao residents either voluntarily defected to Jianzhou or were taken captive by Jianzhou soldiers, causing the Jurchen population to skyrocket.
Gonggong Wei conservatively estimated that there should be 70,000 or 80,000 Han people in this part, and these people and their descendants were later organized into the Manchu Eight Banners and became the Manchurian clan.
From the perspective of later generations, Manchu is actually a Jurchen ethnic group, with the Huhua Han people secondary.
After the Ming army withdrew from Liubao, it was cheaper to build a state. At present, Nurhachi set up a number of stockades in Liubao, and it is said that he also drew a line with North Korea on the other side of the river.
Now, Gonggong Wei is ready to snatch back some of this part of the Han people and destroy the walled city of Jianzhou in Liubao.
One of the biggest advantages of choosing Kuandian Liubao is that this place is far away from the hinterland of Jianzhou, attacking with a small force of soldiers and horses, learning Mao Wenlong's method, and waiting for Nurhachi to receive the news and bring the main force to come, the father-in-law has returned to Lushun to drink tea.
In order to better take away the people who were snatched back, the father-in-law ordered the navy to immediately requisition the ships along the coast of Jinzhou, whether it was a fishing boat or a merchant ship, as long as they could carry people.
In order to encourage fishermen and boat bosses to actively help the Royal Navy, the father-in-law ordered a high subsidy for requisitioning boats, and a reward for the actual number of people brought back.
It is not empty words, the first batch of 30,000 taels paid by Li Ruwu was allocated 6,000 taels on the same day, and the navy took the cash to talk to the fishermen and ship bosses.
Stimulated by the huge rewards, the coastal ships of Jinzhou concentrated at the mouth of Arthur, and in three days, more than 160 fishing boats of all sizes came, and several merchant ships also came.
According to the calculation of 50 people per fisherman, the single capacity has reached more than 10,000 people.
On 13 June, a fleet consisting of four main naval warships and nearly 200 civilian ships sailed north under the personal leadership of Gonggong Wei and sailed to a destination more than 300 miles away.
There were 400 army warriors, 500 naval officers, 00 Flying Tiger Army, 00 surrendered Japanese soldiers, plus 500 requisitioned Jinzhou officers and soldiers, and a total of 2,000 officers and soldiers together with Wei Gonggong's personal guards.
The ship also carried 20 war horses, fortunately Lushunkou is a natural military port, Jin Zhouwei in two hundred years to build two small docks, so that the navy's large warships can dock, otherwise the war horses can not be pulled to the ship.
"Whether it is a Han or a Jurchen, or a Mongolian or a Korean, but people, they all rush us on the boat, men, women and children don't ask."
The father-in-law emphasized to the subordinates who came to participate in the military meeting on the ship Donga.
