In March of the tenth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji returned to Shenyang after completely pulling out the big nail that swayed from side to side between the Ming and Qing dynasties. On the way back to the division, he ordered Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi, who were born in Mao Wenlongyizi, Dongjiang Town, to attack Tieshan Phi Island, and with the assistance of 50 Korean warships, they captured Phi Island and pulled out the last nail of the Ming Dynasty on the coast of Liaodong.

The Qing army escorted 500,000 Koreans to Shenyang, stretching for hundreds of miles from the Yalu River to Shenyang. They were accompanied to Shenyang by a large amount of materials and property looted from North Korea.

After this battle, the thieves in Liaodong can be said to have returned with a full load. From the banner owner to the ordinary flag man, all of them are wrapped around their waists, "gold and silver are hung in front of the horse, and women are carried behind the horse." ”

And the biggest harvest is Huang Taiji himself.

In Santiandu, where he camped, the King of Joseon erected a monument to the merits of the Qing Emperor, and built a gate to welcome all kinds of envoys he sent in the future.

According to the agreement signed by the two sides, Korea must sever diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty, accept his canonization, and become a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. The treaty stipulated that the era name used by Korea was changed from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. This undoubtedly won him the greatest victory in politics, leaving the nobles of the dissenting banner lords in the country with nothing to say.

Economically, not only did they plunder 500,000 people from Korea, which greatly supplemented the lack of population, but also obtained a large amount of property, and at the same time, they would also receive a large number of annual tributes from North Korea every year, which also relieved the economic pressure of the Qing State to a great extent.

In his hand, he held the seal of the king of the state affairs of the Joseon Dynasty issued by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, to Li Chenggui. Huang Taiji felt that he could go back to the hall and comfort his ancestor Meng Temu, the old ancestor who had been bullied by the Koreans when he was alive, and he could finally raise his eyebrows under Jiuquan.

Thinking of raising his eyebrows, Huang Taiji suddenly thought of another thing, and couldn't help frowning again.

Soon after returning to Shenyang, on the fifth day of the third month, Huang Taiji ordered that the main figures of the Ming Dynasty, Yin Ji, the head of Hongwenguan, Wu Daji, the deputy head of Hongwenguan, and Si Xianfu, order Hong Yihan to be beheaded at the execution ground.

And Kim Zidian, the leader of the Westerner Party, who has always advocated pro-Qing status, became one of the three beheaded North Korean scholars.

And on the seventh day of the first month of March, the banner lord Lord Belle gathered in front of the Ten Kings Pavilion. I'm going to discuss how to divide the wealth of the people from this plunder into eight. That is, to discuss how to divide the spoils.

In addition to Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and other three people who were still attacking Phi Island at this time. Almost all the upper echelons of the Qing army have arrived. Sitting on the throne in the Great Palace, Huang Taiji felt that this was the pleasure of Renjun. However, looking at Dolgon sitting firmly in front of the White Flag Pavilion, Huang Taiji couldn't help but twitch in his heart. The temples puffed up twice. I was dizzy a few times in front of my eyes.

The Dorgon brothers in Korea. How much benefit has been obtained, there are also different opinions among the children of the Eight Banners. However, one statement that everyone admits is. "Where the two white flags have been, we don't want to go, not a single inch of grass grows, I am afraid that we will have to leave some food for those bitter North Koreans before leaving!"

The flagmen of the two white flags were in North Korea, and on the way back to the division, they kept going to the beach in Niulu and Jiala, and when they came back, they were dressed in bright red clothes.

In order to get the Dolgon brothers to hand over this trade route, Huang Taiji talked with Dolgon several times in the Santiandu camp and promised countless benefits, and then reluctantly moved Dolgon, and promised to return to Shenyang to order his minions to invite the merchants of the South China Sea and hand them over to the banner owners for public discussion.

As for the distribution of stolen goods, the banner owners, whether it is the Eight Banners Manchuria or the Eight Banners Mongolia, are all very familiar with it. Report the total number, and then distribute the flags, according to the number of troops sent and the number of armored soldiers. The purpose of your visit today is not this.

"Brother, let's say it, if the eighth brother plans to kill Mr. Li and cut off our financial route, I will turn against him!"

This was what Dodor had said to Dorgon in private.

For this reason, Duoduo wore three layers of armor on his body today, and the innermost one was a Nanban cuirass that he bought from Shanxi merchants for more than 200 taels of silver. The soldiers who came with Duoduo with the white flag were also wearing heavy armor, on the one hand, to show off their strength, and on the other hand, to prevent accidents.

Not only him, but also the white-flag-inlaid Baya soldiers who came with Duoduo were also wearing heavy armor, on the one hand, to show off their strength, and on the other hand, to prevent accidents.

"Fourteenth brother, fifteenth brother, your soldiers and horses are very elite!"

The Great Prince of Belle Rite twisted his gray beard and blinked his old eyes at the two white flag sergeants behind Dorgon and Dodor.

"Amma, the fourteenth and fifteenth uncles lead the troops well, and the royal majesty is generous, so naturally the soldiers are strong and strong." Privately, Shoto, who had a good relationship with Dorgon, explained to Amma why the two White Flags were strong.

"Fourteenth brother, Prince Li asked about your forehead, I'm afraid that the banner lord and the prince and Minister Baylor plan to ask you. When you were in North Korea that day, it was you and the 15th brother and the two white flag battalions that had the best food and morale. I also consulted you many times about this matter that day. You told me that a merchant from the South China Sea had brought you some salt, wine, cloth, and food. He also promised me that after returning to Shenyang, he would ask his minions to invite the merchants of the South China Sea to me to discuss the matter of trade, I wonder if there will be results today? ”

"I'll go to you Yehebu Menggu Zhesheng's!" Dolgon greeted Huang Taiji's mother in his heart, knowing that if he didn't tell Li Peiting's story today, he was afraid that the other six banners would become enemies with his three brothers under Huang Taiji's teasing.

He was about to open his mouth to say a few polite words to Huang Taiji and Dai Shan, the old fox, and make a sloppy eye to prevaricate this matter, but Huang Taiji's eldest son Hao Ge also smiled and opened his mouth.

"Uncle Fourteen, the minions under my Zhenglan banner praised the refined fine salt, soju, and spices in your two white flag camps to the point that there are few in the sky and nothing on the earth. Today, the little nephew also wants to get more rewards for the minions. Uncle Fourteen still has to make it convenient! ”

"That's it! Or please make it convenient for Lord Rui! ”

"Lord Rui!"

Under the intentional leadership of Hauge, the ministers and generals of the Two Yellow Banners, the ministers and generals of the Blue Banner, and the two Red Banners princes and beylors, who were bent on improving the quality of life, were also led by Yue Tuo, Shuo Tuo, Adali, Du Du and others, and asked for help from the Dolgon brothers.

For a while, the crowd was in turmoil, and all the banner lords and princes, all who had Niu Lu minions in their hands, all stared at Dolgon and Duoduo with red eyes. And no wonder. The gap in living standards has widened. It has already made these flag owners feel dangerous.

"Indeed, there are merchants from the South China Sea who are guests at his house, and he will not abandon them, and some items have been given to my brothers and others."

Seeing this, Dolgon simply made a fool of himself. Dafang admits that there are indeed such people who are guests in his house. But. It's just a guest.

"That. The prince of Rui did not call him to come, and went to make a pilgrimage in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty would give him great benefits. It's like giving Shanxi merchants that day! ”

Seeing that Dorgon had acknowledged the existence of such a man in the midst of the cries of the flags, Hauge could not help but be very proud in his heart, and his words were less respectful.

So who is Dolgon?

Back then, he was named the Murgen Daiqing, what does it mean? Smart King! and his title of Prince Rui all mean the same thing. What's more, the three brothers who have lost their father and mother for so many years, and have a lot of wealth and population in their hands, are surrounded by a group of adult brothers, staring at the population of eighty or ninety Niu Lu in their hands, just like an orphan walking among the thieves with gold in his hand, can survive in such an environment, what kind of ghost tricks have not been seen? What kind of intrigue scene has not been experienced? Although he is younger than Hauge, when it comes to his eyes and political methods, he may not be the opponent of Dolgon even if the three Hauges are tied together! What's more, there is a Duoduo next to it?

"Prince Su is wrong to say this. The Shanxi merchant came purely for the sake of the word profit, and was covered with copper stench; This person is very different, although he is a businessman, he is quite proud. And it has something to do with the Li family in Liaodong in the past. How can you call around at will? Sudden Daxian?! ”

"That's it! Mr. Li is our guest, not our minion! ”

Duoduo's words invisibly knocked Hauge, and Hauge couldn't hear it, but the old fox on the side, Prince Daishan, and Fan Wencheng, a bachelor of the Third Inner Academy, sniffed a trace of it: Our brothers are also doing things together with your father and son, and they are also under the capital of two banners! We are a partnership, not a slave of your father and son!

For the changes that have taken place in the two white flags in the past few months, Dai Shantong guò's children, grandchildren and minions also know a lot, using the trade with the merchants of the South China Sea, the two white flags are unprecedentedly united, and even one by one the clothed Aha came out of the chest is shy. Moreover, the Yu Ding and Bao Yi in the banner were compiled according to the rank of Niu Lu, Shi Ku, and Strength, which is equivalent to invisibly expanding the number of soldiers and horses several times, and is no longer limited by the three hundred soldiers per Niu Lu.

But with such a approach, Huangtai Chicken can't say anything. Why, I, a banner master, let my soldiers and minions train in accordance with the art of war, so that they can fight against Ming Guo in the future, which is also wrong?

Therefore, Fan Wencheng has already made up his mind, and today he must help his master completely eradicate the hidden dangers brought to the Qing Dynasty by this merchant in the South China Sea! If you can, you might as well turn waste into treasure and pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages. Let this sea merchant become another channel to replenish supplies in the hands of the master!

"The fifteenth brother is right, for such a sage, not to mention his relationship with my Qing Dynasty, it is this leisure and leisure, we can't use the mundane affairs of the world to bind. Prince Rui, is this okay, today's matter is over, tomorrow I and the kings and ministers will come to your mansion to visit this Mr. Li? And by the way, bother your good wine and meat! On that day, at the camp on the Han River, Hukou sent the spirits from your camp, which I still miss very much! ”

"Your Majesty, it wasn't for the servants and others to prevaricate, but early this morning, the housekeeper of the family told the servants that Mr. Li saw that the spring was getting thicker, and he was very happy, so he took his men out of the city early in the morning and went to the Hunhe River. I'm afraid I'm going to have to travel there for a day or two these days. ”

"That's it! Now that the weather is getting warmer, it is the so-called grass withered eagle's eye disease, and the snow is clean and the horse's hooves are light. I waited for the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners to go to the Hunhe River to fish and hunt, and I did not forget my true character as a Manchurian soldier! ”

"Your Majesty. In the past, King Wen traveled to the Weishui River, which coincided with the Taigong, and laid the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty for 400 years. Today, the emperor for my Qing Dynasty, there is this Hunhe River, and on the occasion of fishing and hunting, he has to meet the help of sages, which can be described as a good luck! ”

Bao Cheng, who was on the side, stepped forward first and slapped Huang Taiji's ass.

"What virtue do I have, how can I compare myself with the ancient sages and sages? However, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, this thirst for talent can be expected to be carried by the sages. ”

Mei Zizi enjoyed a sycophant shot by Bao Chengxian first. In his mouth, Huang Taiji still has to make a look for the sake of the country.

Present. The Eight Banners Lord Lord Baylor and the Lords of the Eight Banners each returned to their homes to check the people and horses, preparing to go out of the city tomorrow to shoot and fish.

That night, when Huang Taiji had dinner, he was looking at the historical records under an oil lamp. From time to time, I find relevant histories from the Zizhi Tongjian and the Twenty-four Histories on the side for comparison.

He used reading books to hide his inner tension. The Battle of Korea. Although the harvest is quite fruitful. However, the strength of the two white flags swelled to the point where he exceeded his imagination, and he was ready to organize the Han army of King Sanshun into eight banners and put them under his direct command. At the same time, the ministers of parliament were added to each banner, and then the power of the banner owners and bailes was divided among the banners, and sand and wedges were mixed into the interior of each banner. Prevent the flags from getting bigger.

Beside him, Ba Ya Raang Bang Chang Jing Wu Bai walked in from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Fan is here. Said that there was an emergency. To see or not to see? ”

The Mr. Fan in his mouth is Fan Wencheng, who is known as Fan Zhongyan's descendant.

"Mr. Fan is here?! Please! ”

After listening to Wu Bai's communication, Huang Taiji hurriedly put down the book in his hand and got off the kang, because he had been sitting cross-legged for a long time, his legs were a little numb for a while, and he stumbled and almost didn't fall. Fan Wencheng, who came in from outside, hurriedly stepped forward and supported Huang Taiji's body of nearly 200 catties, so that the black fat man did not fall to the ground.

"Alas! Old! It's useless! When he fought in the north and south with his father Khan, he was on horseback for several days, and he did not feel so tired. He laughed at himself.

"The emperor is worried about state affairs and works day and night, so he feels tired. Back then, you only needed to defeat the enemy on the opposite side, but now you have to consider it all, how can you not feel tired? ”

Fan Wencheng's words touched on Huang Taiji's worries and thoughts. However, Huang Taiji, as a monarch, was reluctant to let his courtiers know his heart too much. It was easy to create opportunities for the courtiers.

"So far at night, didn't the gentleman come to talk to me about something?"

"At dinner, Fan Sanba, the eldest son of the Fan family in Shanxi, visited the slave's house. Seeing that the slave's family was preparing for the slave to go out of the city tomorrow for fishing and hunting, when he learned that he wanted to see Mr. Li in the South China Sea, he told the slave secret! ”

"Say something?"

Huang Taiji didn't care much about Fan Sanba's visit and report.

In his view, this was just a means for businessmen to turn against each other. Or, such a situation is also what he would like to see.

"According to Fan Sanba, Li suddenly appeared in Shengjing City and saw the Rui Wang Ye brothers, but I am afraid that there is a plan."

"What are you plotting?" Huang Taiji's black face became darker and darker.

"The origin of this person is unknown. Moreover, "Fan Wencheng stole a glance at the expression on Huang Taiji's face, and tried to recall the information in Fan Sanji's words in his mind, and then quickly recombined and said it to him with words that Huang Taiji could understand.

"In the past, this person was in Guangzhou, and according to local businessmen, he paid a large amount of bribes to the Guangzhou officialdom and sold sugar, cloth, and other goods to the hinterland of Guangzhou, Guangzhou, and Guangzhou at extremely low prices, which made the people in the Liangguang area miserable and complained."

However, Fan Sanba's words to Fan Wencheng were consciously concealed by him A large part of the information. If you want to tell the truth and sue Huang Taiji, because Li Peiting sold a large amount of rice to Guangdong, which led to the fall in grain prices in Guangzhou, causing the people to rise up to resist grain and taxes, I am afraid that Huang Taiji will not even be able to wait for this night, and he will see this Mr. Li overnight.

What's more, because of the large import of Nanzhong iron tools, the collective bankruptcy of Foshan's iron-smelting industry has led to hundreds of thousands of people who have either become thieves with weapons built by themselves, or simply float south to the Nanzhong region, the source of the trouble, trying to use their own craftsmanship to earn a bowl of rice for themselves.

If this Mr. Li really imported salt, grain, ironware, and cloth into Liaodong on a large scale as he did in Guangzhou, with the low cost and price of his pure sea transportation, the Shanxi merchant group represented by Fan Yongdou and others would be driven out of the Liaodong market immediately!

These things are the result of discussions between the Fan family, the Huang family, the Wang family and other eight families, and what things can be said and what things cannot be said are all carefully scrutinized.

"That's all?" Huang Taiji's face turned from gloomy to sunny again.

"He messed with his Nanban. What does it have to do with me? Moreover, in this way, this person also has some ability and ability! To be able to move not a single soldier, a knife and a gun, and make the two provinces of the Ming Kingdom become full of smoke, this ability, I don't think I have it! ”

"However, Fan Sanba said the most important thing!"

Fan Wencheng's face became a little solemn.

"Master, do you remember the two defeats suffered by my Qing soldiers on the banks of the canal in the Gyeonggi region of the Ming Kingdom last year? According to Fan Sanba, judging from the situation grasped by the Jin merchants, the Southern Barbarian army that defeated the Red Flag Mongolia, Red Flag Manchuria, and Zhengbai Flag Manchuria had an inexplicable relationship with Li in the South China Sea! ”

"Master, tomorrow morning, will you go out of the city to fish and hunt in the Hunhe River?"

Seeing Huang Taiji pacing back and forth in the room, walking faster and faster, Fan Wencheng asked him with some trepidation.

"The will has been made, and there is no reason to go away. You go back and tell the eldest young master of the Fan family, saying that I am very grateful to them, and let them be sure to inquire about the origin of this Mr. Li. In addition, I heard that this Nanzhong has always been rich in products, and it has produced fine iron, weapons, guns and other things. The combat power of the Nanzhong Army is strong and the equipment is excellent, no less than the Zhejiang soldiers of the Hunhe River back then! Even I admire it! Let them take advantage of the convenience of trade to and from here, and if they can get me the things that are urgently needed in the army, gold, silver, property, and official rewards, I have them here! ”

"So, tomorrow's business?"

"The flags have already moved, and they can't be canceled anymore. Just act on the opportunity. ”

After sending away Fan Wencheng, Huang Taiji saw that the Baya soldiers on the side, Ang Bang Zhangjing, and Wu Bai were still standing with armor and swords, and his heart suddenly moved.

"Wu Bai, you don't want to stay here with me, take my arrows, take my Bayala soldiers out of the city first, and then I will send someone to light up the soldiers and horses of the three Jiala, and join you outside the city, and belong to your command and dispatch!"

"Master, what is this for the minions to do?"

"Tomorrow's affairs, you must not be more prepared, you can make the military horses ready, do my will, and if things are not right, do it immediately!"

Wu Bai kowtowed, took Huang Taiji's arrow, and took the order.

It was already late at night, the city of Shenyang became full of lights, and there was a busy scene in all the mansions, and countless people were preparing for tomorrow's fishing and hunting out of the city. (To be continued......)
