Heaven and earth give birth to two poles, and the two poles give birth to four elephants, and the four elephants give birth to gossip.

How the Four Banners became the Eight Banners was explained by the Weishe people at the beginning, and it was also the last big gift that the Weishe people gave to the Great Baylor when they left.

Under this extremely reasonable suggestion of the Wei Sheren, Da Beile spent a lot of time studying the specific establishment of the Eight Banners, so he said that it was the head of the way, and it was extremely happy to hear the father Khan.

Amma was happy, and so was Jooying, because it showed that his talents were valued by Amma. The rest of the brothers were happy, but there were also many who were unhappy.

Mang Gurtai pursed his lips and said nothing. Eyidu, He Heli, they don't care whether the Eight Banners Law is good or not, they only know that it was proposed by Zhen Ying, and it will definitely be bad for them. I didn't think of it for a while.

As the younger brother of a mother's compatriots, Dai Shan has other ideas that outsiders can't see.

"The color of the flag remains the same, and there can be a difference, well, very good, in the future, it will be called inlaid yellow, inlaid white, inlaid red, inlaid blue, the original four flags are still called yellow, white, red, and blue, but the armor and military flags are not set for a while, and they must be carefully considered when they look back."

The more Nurhaci looked at Zhenying, the more he liked it, this son is really becoming more and more mature now, and he is becoming more and more stable, and he is no longer as good as before.

Seeing that his proposal was valued by King Khan, Gong Zhengliu wanted to add icing on the cake and said with a smile: "King Khan, eight is the most auspicious number in the hexagram, and it is also the foundation of the sixty-four hexagrams. Eight Flags is really auspicious! ”

The elder brothers in the palace, regardless of whether they were willing or not, were happy to see the King of Khan there anyway, and they also talked about the benefits of expanding the Eight Banners one by one.

Nurhachi thought for a while, and suddenly asked Gong Zhengliu: "If these eight banners are erected, who do you think can be divided?" ”

At the same time, the hearts of all the people in the temple raised it.

Gong Zhengliu was stunned, he saw that Nurhachi asked about such a major matter, and he was inexplicably grateful, but he felt that this matter was very important, and it was not easy to say it rashly, so he tentatively said: "The slave thinks that it is better for the master of the Eight Banners to use the elder brothers." ”

In the past, when there were four flags, at first it was the white flag led by Yu Ying, the red flag led by Dai Shan, the yellow flag led by Mang Gurtai, and the blue flag led by Amin. Later, Zhu Ying acted as the national government, and the white flag was handed over to the eighth elder brother Hong Taidai to lead, but unfortunately the eighth elder brother died tragically under the knife of the Ming people, so the white flag was returned to the young leader. Among the four flags, the white flag is the strongest, and the cattle record is the most, because the Jurchen respects white.

Now that the four flags have been expanded to eight flags, four more flag owners will come out. The owner of the flag is the Gushan Ezhen that Zhu Ying just said, who is in charge of the household registration, upbringing, official inheritance, military training, and wartime to lead the flag soldiers to battle, and truly grasp the military and political power of the banner.

Therefore, the selection of the owner of the flag with the four flags is very important. Eyidu, He Heli, they didn't want the banner owners to be led by the son of the Khan, but no one dared to come out to oppose it.

"That's fine."

It was obviously impossible for Nurhachi to let others hold the power of a banner, he looked at a group of sons and nephews, and immediately said: "The Zhengbai flag is still led by Zhenying, the Zhenghong is led by Daishan, the Zhenghuang is led by Mang Gurtai, and the Zhenglan is still led by Amin." The remaining four flags, inlaid with white flags led by Abai, inlaid with yellow flags led by Tang Gu, and inlaid with red flags led by Abatai...... The blue flag..."

To Gong Zhengliu's surprise, King Khan actually handed over the blue flag to his fourth brother Yarhaqi. This arrangement also disappointed the four of the six Agotabai, the Ninth Elder Babutai, the Tenth Elder Gerger, and the Eleventh Elder Babuhai. Derge and Babu Hai are down, the six Agotabai are worthy of the banner master in terms of age and seniority, and his younger brother Abatai can lead the flag, but he can't receive it, and his heart is extremely disappointed.

"Do you have any objections to the real election of the Eight Banners Gushan?" Nurhachi looked at He Heli and them.

What can they say, they say that they have no objections, and everything is in accordance with the Khan's decree.

"In the future, government affairs will still be managed by Yu Ying, but the major policies still need to be discussed by everyone, and the soldiers and horses are led by the banner lords, each with its own duties, regardless of each other's importance, if there is anything that cannot be decided, ask Ben Khan."

After finishing speaking, Nurhachi added: "The eight banners are standing, but we must also select brave soldiers from each banner to be the Khan's swing tooth la, protect the Chinese army, and each flag should also select long armor soldiers, short armor soldiers and red-clothed swaying teeth..... we are going to fight Yehe, the court will definitely not rest, and maybe troops will be sent to fight at that time." Therefore, the armoured armies of each banner must be heavily armoured and charge forward with spears; The short-armored soldier wears light armor and holds a bow and arrow, and then ......"

Everyone listened to it, but they didn't think it was wrong. It is natural for the Khan to choose sharp soldiers to protect the army, and it is also a top priority to build heavy armor and light armor soldiers of the Eight Banners.

As Nurhachi was talking, a report came from outside, saying that he had received a post letter from Fushun. The people were curious, and they did not know who had sent a letter to the Khan.

Nurhachi was also strange, and asked Gong Zhengliu to take the letter and tear it open. Gong Zhengliu was a little stunned when he saw it.

"Whose faith and what do you say?" Nurhachi asked.

"King Khan will see for himself." Gong Zhengliu handed over the letter.

Nurhachi learned Chinese characters when he was young, and later learned a lot of Han books from Gong Zhengliu, so he could believe it. After reading it, he laughed, then threw the letter to Gong Zhengliu and snorted: "Don't care about him, a crazy person." ”

"Yes, King Khan."

Gong Zhengliu also thought that the person who wrote the letter was crazy, and even opened his mouth to borrow 300,000 taels of silver from the king of Khan, saying that he was investing in a great maritime industry, and he would repay it twice as much after the maritime industry made great profits. That's a big joke.

"King Khan, do you want to reply?" Gong Zhengliu asked habitually.

Nurhachi wanted to say that he didn't need to go back, but after thinking about it, he instructed: "You give me a sticker back, just say that Ben Khan is very poor now, and ask him to borrow it from someone else." ”

After speaking, he thought about it and waved his hand: "Send him a thousand taels." ”

………..

Lushunkou, finally looking forward to the black-faced old man replying to the letter, Father-in-law Wei was excited to tear it open to see, but his stomach hurt badly, at this time he really couldn't believe a fart sound, so he hurriedly ran to the toilet, and then unbuttoned his pants and sat on the Gong bucket, and only after he was physically and mentally comfortable did he tear open the envelope slowly, but the content of the letter made him stand up angrily on the spot, and scolded: "Okay, you Nuerhachi, we sincerely borrow money from you, why don't you lend it to us!" The old turtle king bastard, not righteous! ”

After scolding, I thought that I hadn't done anything, my face suddenly turned green again, and I sat down again in a panic. After cleaning up, he shouted angrily outside while pulling his belt: "Prepare the boat, prepare the boat!" ”

When Wang Dali, the chief soldier of the navy, heard that his father-in-law was shouting, he hurried over, and when he heard that his father-in-law was going to prepare a ship, he asked: "Is my father-in-law going south?" ”

Gonggong Wei shook his head: "Don't go south, go north." ”

North?

Wang Dali froze, where is this going north?

"Go to Uiju."

Father-in-law Wei is really angry, Nurhachi does not lend him money, which is an unforgivable thing. Therefore, he decided to get some by himself, and crossed the Yalu River to the territory of his black-faced old man to grab money, food, and people.

On the edge of Yiju is the six forts of Kuandian.
