Chapter 258: Liaodong Dongfeng Snow (1)

Shenyang was originally the center of the Ming army in Liaodong, and since Yang Hao's death of his division Salhu, the Liao affair collapsed. After the First World War, the Hunhe River was captured by the Later Jin, and became the political center and military center for them to give orders to Liaodong, and Nurhachi built a series of buildings in the city, such as the imperial palace and the Great Political Hall. Chongzhen seven years, Huang Taiji ascended the throne after Shenyang changed its name to "Shengjing", to Chongzhen seventeen years, after the Qing moved the capital to Beijing, Shenyang was set as the accompanying capital, decades later, Shengjing changed its name to "Fengtian".

This land has been changing for decades, witnessing a magnificent historical drama.

Outside Shengjing City, the sound of Dingdang continued to spark, and countless craftsmen were busy under the supervision of the Qing soldiers, creating weapons.

As a regime that started with offensive warfare, from the time of Nurhachi's reign, the blacksmith shop outside Shengjing City stretched for more than ten miles, with fireworks soaring into the sky, and the sound of hammers rising and falling day and night. Under the threat of being killed at every turn and the investment regardless of the cost, the weapons and armor produced by the Qing army were better than those of the Ming army.

Outside the craftsman's workshop, there are countless workshops of all sizes gathered here, which seem to be continuous and invisible, and most of them are blacksmith shops. Thousands of yellow-skinned, thin-skinned, ragged craftsmen are busy intently. No one dares not to be serious about making knives and guns, making guns, casting cannons, etc.

During the Nurhachi period, the mutual trade between Guò and the Ming Dynasty accumulated a large number of iron tools, and there were many iron ores in its territory, and there was no shortage of charcoal and coal needed for smelting. In addition, Huang Taiji organized many raids and looted in the customs, and recovered a large number of people and wealth from the customs. There are a lot of ironware craftsmen in the house.

With such a material foundation, the Qing army dared to equip the army with a large number of heavy infantry and cavalry, which other nomads and fishing and hunting peoples did not have.

On the basis of the original Shenyang official road extending in all directions, in order to strengthen the mobility of the army, after changing the name to Shengjing, the high-level of the Eight Banners will build these official roads and post roads in Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and carefully organize and maintain, the official road is about several zhang wide, and the thick loess rammed road is extremely solid.

Entering the city along the official road is a double world with the scenery outside the city.

According to the Chinese history of the "left ancestor right society, facing the back market" (that is, the left side of the palace is the ancestral temple. To the right of the palace is the shrine. The front of the royal official faces south, and the king and the official set up a market), and the inner city built will be rebuilt from the original "ten" shaped two streets to four streets in the shape of "well", and the shops on the streets are lined up. It's very lively.

In the middle of Middle Street. It is the Qing Imperial Palace built by Nurhachi and Huang Taiji father and son.

In front of the main hall with a strong nomadic fishing and hunting ethnic style. There are ten square pavilions arranged in the figure of eight, which is the place where the left and right wing kings and the ministers of the eight banners do things, commonly known as the "Ten Kings Pavilion". From north to south. The east road is: Left Wing Wang Pavilion, Zhenghuang Flag Pavilion, Zhenghong Flag Pavilion, Blue Flag Pavilion, and White Flag Pavilion; The west road is: right-wing Wang Pavilion, Yellow Flag Pavilion, Red Flag Pavilion, Blue Flag Pavilion, and White Flag Pavilion. From north to south, the pavilion becomes smaller and smaller, representing the status of the flag.

A group of armor soldiers with iron helmets and black tassels lined up along the corridor on both sides of the Great Palace.

It is said that when the old slave was alive, he organized and established the army of Jiannu, which was based on the establishment of a strong and prosperous flag, and then built another flag, and his heart planned to establish five positive flags and five bordered flags, that is, according to the five colors of red, yellow, blue, white and black. Shen Chung and his envoy Li Min-yong of the Joseon state both saw the five-color flag, and recorded it in the "Records of Jianzhou Experience". In his later years, he made it clear that Azig was the owner of the Yellow Banner and Duoduo was the owner of the Yellow Banner, and that after his death, all the pro-army under his command would be given to Duoduo, but another banner would be given to Dorgon. Unfortunately, the old slave died nearly a year after the suspected shot, and his idea of building a ten-banner army was dashed. These Ten Kings Pavilion is naturally not worthy of its name.

However, at present, there are the so-called banner owners and stewards in the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and the total is exactly ten.

The lords and stewards of the Eight Banners of Manchuria sat in their respective pavilions, and the princes, Baylors, and Beizi of each banner sat on both sides according to their own titles.

Today is to divide the spoils of this entry and plunder, no, according to the Mongols, it is to implement the Great Urus system and distribute the fruits of victory.

His Royal Highness, the black-faced and obese Huang Taiji is still angry.

Just disposed of a few ministers who had offered spoils of war to him, the Qing Emperor, with completely different attitudes, the thunderous anger shocked all the princes and ministers present who were thorns in their backs, trembling with fear.

"I've pleaded with you again and again, not because I want to take it myself. Nowadays, all money, livestock, and all things are not available, and they are not enough, why are they not satisfied? It's not that you're not afraid of my ban, but you're so desperate that you often flout it, and it's hateful! They do not know that their possessions are things outside the body, and that it is useless to hide them. Even if you are rich without righteousness, can you have the art of immortality and enjoy yourself forever? How many ministers from the Taizu era have survived to the present? That is to say, if a person's life is in the great hotel between heaven and earth, why should he plan too much for himself? If the children and grandchildren are virtuous, they will be profound; Children and grandchildren are ignorant, so what is the use of you leaving a lot of inheritance? The fundamental issue is to strive to make meritorious contributions, establish a good reputation, and leave your achievements to future generations, and this is the most valuable thing. As the old saying goes: There are four seasons in the sky, and all things are born on the earth. There are people in the world, and the 'saints' rule. Therefore, spring is a management of life, and all things prosper; Summer is the pipe long, and all things grow; Autumn is a killing, and everything is sufficient; Winter is a collection, and everything is quiet. 'If you are profitable, you will hide, and if you hide it, you will not know the end, you will not know the beginning, you will not fight, and you will not retreat. Governing the country according to this principle is in harmony with the way of heaven and earth.

From now on, you should not covet money, but you should be loyal to each other, diligent in state affairs, and harmonious in the court, then it is not a good thing that your honor will be kept forever so that your children and grandchildren will always remain unchanged? ”

The endless tirade made everyone a little confused, but they didn't dare not make a look of listening carefully and heartbroken!

After he ascended the throne, he used all kinds of means to turn the original situation of the four Baylors sitting side by side in the south into his own family, and reformed the system of the Eight Banners, and then turned a military group similar to a bandit partnership into a national army.

The original Niu Lu is true, and Jia La's is true. In the Jurchen dialect, Ezhen means the master. After the reform of the system, it became Zhang Jing, and Zhang Jing means manager and leader. A change in vocabulary has changed the original owner of the cow and the owner of the Jiala into the manager of the cow and the manager of the Jiala. The military system, which had a strong taste of privatization, was diluted on a large extent.

In addition to the banner owner, each flag of the Eight Banners of Manchuria has a minister in charge, called the Eight Ministers in charge of flag affairs, who participates in national politics and sits side by side with Zhu Beile. Hunting and marching to lead the soldiers of their own banners. Everything in this flag is subject to dispatch and command.

Before. Only Gushan Ezhen, who was also the Minister of Parliament, could participate in state affairs, but now the scope has been expanded to include all the Eight Banner Banners (i.e., Gushan Ezhen). There are still two assistant ministers for each banner, a total of 16 ministers. Assist in the management of the affairs of the flag. and is in charge of criminal law. They can not be garrisoned. In addition to this. There are also two dispatch ministers for each flag, a total of 16 ministers. Their duty is to send troops to garrison. They are always at the mercy of the dispatch and have the responsibility to hear the criminal law to which they belong.

In this way, the administrative, judicial, military, and financial powers that the owners of each banner originally had within their own banners were virtually divided and deprived, and small independent kingdoms were broken one after another.

The banner masters who originally dared not to obey orders and even dared to draw their swords in front of him became subservient in the face of such a harsh and high-pressure situation.

After a long speech, Huang Taiji took a little rest, which also relieved his obese body, waved his hand and signaled the flag owners to return to their seats, and the etiquette of offering captured property continued.

It was the turn of the red flag to present the captured possessions.

Among the many gold, jewelry, and silk antiques, Huang Taiji saw at a glance the strange armor knives and guns held in the hands of several Ahha.

"Red Flag Manchuria Presents the Gift of Capture!"

The celebrant sang aloud.

With the sound of praise, the Baoyi Ahabs sent their belongings to the front steps of the main hall.

"陛xià! This is what the minions obtained in Gyeonggi, Ming Kingdom, and dedicated to His Majesty! There are also four war horses, now outside the palace, please ask Your Majesty to give permission, and the slave immediately ordered someone to bring them for His Majesty to see! ”

The four horses were brought in by the groom, which immediately caused a small wave.

Everyone present was a group of good horses in the family, but a war horse with such a tall skeleton and such a bright fur had never been seen in his life. Not to mention anything else, just talking about the appearance of these four horses is not comparable to ordinary Mongolian horses.

"This horse was captured by the minions from the Nanban in Jinggi of the Ming Kingdom, and the non-minions dared to use this little blessing, and dedicated it to His Majesty!"

"These four horses, these armors, are all the results of the battle with the soldiers of the Southern Barbarian Qin King in Gyeonggi, Ming Kingdom?"

"Exactly!"

After saying this, the people with red flags in Manchuria couldn't help but glance hatefully at the pavilion with two white flags not far away.

"Hilgen!" One of Huang Taiji's guards came out.

"The minions are here!"

"Go and put on that armor and show it to me and all the princes, the ministers of Baylor!"

"Huh!"

Zhenghuang Qiniulu Zhang Jing Xiergen, this time also accompanied the entry into the customs and looted, because the guards seized the population and goods for the army of the palace meritorious service, by Huang Taiji just promoted to the first-class Lazhang Jing Shi position. He quickly chose a suitable set of armor from the trophies sent by Manchuria with red flags and wore them on his body. When he boarded, the whole person seemed to be hung with a layer of tin, and it looked bright.

When everyone saw it, they all cheered.

"This armor is also beautiful, I don't know how it works compared to our iron armor?!"

After a try, Huang Taiji's excited high blood pressure almost attacked, and the nosebleeds continued to flow wildly, and it took a small plate to slowly stop.

"This Nanban armor is really good! Compared with the armor worn by our heavy armor soldiers, although the limbs are not protected, it is better than being flexible and light, and the weight on the body is not large! ”

"Your Majesty, the slave fought with the Lu Xiangsheng who came to pursue when he went out of the customs, and the elite of his army were all wearing this armor, and the white armor soldiers in my Eight Banners Manchuria could not win the battle, and there were many casualties. It seems that this armor should be owned by the elite family members in the Ming army! Hilgen told his masters about his own experience.

On a whim, Huang Taiji got up and left his seat, came to the gift with the red flag, and picked up a saber that was offered with the armor.

He swung it twice, and felt that the slender, long, curved saber was a little light and fluttery, and it was not very easy to grasp. "Let's take a look."

The princes, banner lords, county kings and other characters in the Ten Kings Pavilion gathered around to watch, and when they saw it, they burst into laughter.

"This is an old problem that the dog doesn't know how to change! You know that you can cut corners and reap the benefits yourself! These Nanban are also like a girl, they can only make and move this narrow and light knife, and the knife is so narrow that they are not afraid of breaking? ”

"That's it! This knife is too light for the minion's Fu Jin! ”

However, Hilgen and a few generals on the side were a little unconvinced, "Ladies and gentlemen, although this knife is lighter, the steel edge is excellent. If you don't believe it. Give it a try! ”

As a result, after trying it, I found that this knife is really powerful.

A fat pig that had just been slaughtered and washed clean, put on a layer of cotton armor and a layer of chain mail, was slashed by Ao Bai, who was inlaid with a yellow flag Manchuria, wielded the Nanban saber!

"It's just a step-by-step, if it's on a strong horse. You don't have to swing a saber. Just gallop through it with horsepower. Even if you have three layers of armor on your body, you may not be able to prevent it! ”

After listening to the words of Hilgen and others, several generals were not convinced. Then you have to start arguing.

Seeing that the atmosphere became warmer, Huang Taiji hurriedly spoke out to stop it, and ordered someone to open a few meat porcelain jars, and the kings and ministers each divided a few mouthfuls.

"This is also captured from the soldiers of the Southern Barbarian Qin, wait for a taste, is it stronger than our meat?"

At this time, Manchurian cuisine did not have the so-called eight big bowls, and the so-called feast in daily life was often boiled meat, and the taste and taste were certainly not as good as the canned food seasoned with spices and good taste produced in Nanzhong.

Soon, the dedication was completed, and the next step was to get eight points!

The so-called eight points are the regulations formulated by the old slave during the Mandate of Heaven, "All court meetings and swallow feasts are different from each other, and the gifts must be equal, which is eight points." "It is to distribute the loot or booty that has been plundered. However, there is a big difference in treatment between those who are eight points and those who are not eight points, a bit like whether they are members of the Standing Committee or not.

However, this distribution, some people are happy and some are sad, and even some people are angry and hateful.

The generals of the two red flags complained to Huang Taiji that they had suffered heavy losses when they entered the customs this time, and almost all the troops of the two Jiala were wiped out, and some people cried to Huang Taiji through various channels below, "When we fought a bloody battle with the soldiers of the Southern Barbarian Qinwang, the two white flag armies watched the battle not far away, and there were also Southern barbarian soldiers and the two white flags exchanging armor and weapons, drinking and eating meat together, the minions suspected that the two white flags had collusion with those Nanban, and deliberately framed us!" ”

And Rao Yu Belle Abatai also complained in front of Huang Taiji.

"On the day of the emperor's lifetime, he rewarded me with six Niu Lu, and this time I entered the customs, and I lost a lot of losses, and I lost a Niu Lu in the battle of Hexi Affairs! Your Majesty, you have to find a way to supplement the minions with these Niu Lu Population Talents! ”

Regarding the contradiction between the two white flags and the two red flags and Abatai's complaints, Huang Taiji is happy to see it happen in his heart. Only when there are contradictions and complaints between the flags, can he, the emperor, balance and profit from it. Otherwise, if the other six banners were united, then he, the emperor, would have no taste in front of him.

"Three Oxen were drawn from each of the two white flags and allocated to the Red Banner and Rao Yu Baylor to replenish the lost number of soldiers. In addition, the Red Flag can be used to select a portion of the captured population to replenish the losses in advance. ”

When announcing the beginning of the eighth point, Huang Taiji first reported on the loss of two Jiala in the red flag, in fact, such a major event, without him, has long been known within the Eight Banners. However, to compensate for the loss of the red flags from the two white flags made the three Dorgon brothers very unhappy.

But once it happens, it is equivalent to a complete face-to-face with Huang Taiji and the two red flags, and the three brothers dare not take this risk. had to endure the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart, and made another note on the small account book for Huang Taiji and Dai Shanlao.

Seeing the smiles of Abatai, Dudu and others, the faces of Dolgon, Duoduo, and Azig were clouded, and Huang Taiji pretended not to know. but he ordered them to supervise the distribution of the captured goods and people to the flags.

However, the craftsmen captured this time were not among the allocations, and they were all in the hands of the craftsman's workshop, which was used to imitate the captured Nanban armor, knives and guns.

"Ministers, there is nothing to do at this time, and there is a very interesting thing to enjoy with you."

Fan Wencheng of the Third Inner Courtyard held a stack of documents and letters in his hand and whispered a few words in Huang Taiji's ear, and a smile appeared on Huang Taiji's fat face.

"This is a document sent by our meticulous work in the capital of the Ming Kingdom."

"Rao Yu Baylor, Prince Ying, this time the two of you were killed by the Ming army again in the Ming Kingdom's mansion report." The princes and bannermen of Manchuria did not know many Chinese characters, so Fan Daxue chose to read a few sentences.

Di Bao said that in the first battle of Hexiwu, the Ming army beheaded the slave chief Abatai, killed the puppet British prince Azig, and killed and wounded 100,000 Qing troops who entered the pass. Six thousand heads were captured, and countless horses were captured.

"Haha! I've been beheaded again?! So who is the person who is sitting in front of the emperor now drinking wine and eating meat? Am I the ghost of Abatai?! ”

"In addition, the Ming State Criminal Department, Dali Temple and other yamen issued a sea fishing document, saying that the emperor is the leader of the traitors who took the lead in advocating rebellion, and all the kings here are the leaders of the rebels and thieves.

"Poof!"

Dordon squirted out a mouthful of wine. "Issuing a sea fishing paper? Still wanted to take me and so on? All right! Let's sit down in this Shengjing and see who dares to take it. If he doesn't come, Lao Tzu will go to the capital of Ming Kingdom next year to find his bad luck! ”

"That's right! Let's do it again next year! ”

The leaders had just divided the spoils and were on the rise, echoing Duoduo's Jianyi.

"Fifteenth brother, looking for bad luck is naturally to be found, but it is not the emperor of the Ming Kingdom. It's the North Korean Ri Kui. ”

Huang Taiji slowly drank a glass of wine and pointed out the next target for everyone.

"The Korean envoy not only did not send my letter to Li Liang, but on the contrary, put my letter in a bamboo basket, along with fish and shrimp, and so on. This fang has been at both ends of the first rat between my Qing Dynasty and the Ming Kingdom, swaying from side to side, which is a great trouble for the left wing of my Qing Dynasty. This is the second one. In order to put an end to this trouble, I decided to conquer Korea from December of the first year of Chongdeok! ”

"On this expedition, I led the army to North Korea in person and captured that Li Liang in front of the car! Prince Dai Shan, Prince Rui Dolgon, Prince Yu Duoduo, Belle Yuetuo, Haoge, and Du Du each led their headquarters to accompany me on the expedition. Recruit 100,000 troops from various Mongolian tribes to defeat this fang in a war! ”

Hearing Huang Taiji's words, Prince Heshuorui in the White Flag Pavilion and Shangshu Dolgon of the Ministry knelt down in front of Huang Taiji's main hall, "Your Majesty, the minions don't know, if you don't die, you want to destroy Korea and collect its land into my territory?" ”

"Prince Rui, I have a plan in my heart, not to destroy his country, as long as he completely becomes a loyal vassal of my Qing Dynasty, I will retain his country and its king title."

"Master Fan, inform the kings and ministers of my strategy."

"The emperor has decided on a strategy, this time to conquer North Korea, he must be ordered to go to the Ming State for the year name, and dedicate all the edict seals issued by the Ming State. In the Qing Dynasty, the three major festivals and funerals and other events every year are all made contributions, and all the rituals are carried out in the old practice. Paying tribute to the Qing Dynasty once a year, offering gold and silver, horns, leather goods, tea, cloth, rice and other items to the Qing Dynasty; Li Liang's eldest son, another son and the children of the ministers were held hostage and resided in Shengjing. Hand over the courtiers who are determined to be enemies of my Qing Dynasty to His Majesty for punishment! ”

"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! ”

Bursts of shouts floated over the main hall. (To be continued......)

PS: On the 38th Festival, I wish all women beauty and happiness! By the way, ask for a monthly pass!
