From the end of March to the end of April, Li Xiao's Chifeng Fort was calm. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIt's just that in the entire Ming Empire, there is a mixture of famine and military disasters, and all kinds of contradictions and crises are intensifying and deepening.

Since August last year, Shanxi and Shaanxi and other places that originally relied on the sky for food have not rained a drop of rain, thousands of miles of red land, the people are hungry, people are cannibalistic, and the people have changed from thieves to outcasts in order to survive.

In the matter, Wu Gan came to the court to ask the court to help the two provinces, but the content of the chapter, asking for relief is only one aspect, and more importantly, in the chapter, he denounced the scourge of the officials and soldiers to the people.

Wu Ganlai wrote in the recital: "The Qin and Jin dynasties were hungry, but they were not as bad as the officials and the army!" Zhang Yingchang, the chief soldier of Shanxi, and other generals, are afraid of the Kou like a tiger, kill more good and risky achievements, and the people of Zhongzhou counties are more afraid of the officials and soldiers than the thieves! Your Majesty can't be born, the military ministers kill them and ignore them, there are thieves and hunger, how can the people live, the ministers are really painful! ”

After this sparse performance, Chongzhen sighed for a few days, because the treasury was empty, he issued an order to send internal money to relieve hunger. It's just that because of the embarrassment of troops, Chongzhen did not strictly deal with these domineering generals in Shanxi and Shaanxi, but only issued an order to reprimand them.

The young emperor was worried about the current situation of rampant bandits and starving people, but he was at a loss. In the end, Chongzhen had no choice but to give an order to open up a wide range of ways to find a solution to the problem of settling the hungry people.

The inexperienced emperor did not expect that his pleas would become a means for the ministers of the court and the central government to attack each other.

During the matter, Huang Shaojie immediately went to the top and impeached Shoufu Wen Tiren.

He wrote in the recital: "The ministers heard that in the Han Dynasty, there were many things that were dismissed due to disasters, and the prime minister and other high-ranking officials and important ministers also asked to be dismissed because of the crime of natural disasters. Your Majesty's political cultivation and wide acceptance of rumors can be said to be true to heaven. Now there is a long drought, and there is no rain, what is it? Those who are angry with heaven are also traitors. The first assistant is warm and benevolent, and he has been in power for several years, but he has no actual achievements, so he is doing heaven and harmony, and the sky is also angry. After his people took power, there was no year or drought, no day and no haze, no thieves everywhere, and no one was not complaining。。。。。。 May Your Majesty remove the benevolence to return to the will of heaven, if the benevolence does not descend, you can kill the ministers to deceive the king! ”

Chongzhen, who was bent on finding a solution, was quite annoyed when he saw this letter that was purely an internal fight, and immediately ordered Huang Shaojie to be demoted.

And Wen Tiren saw that the emperor was facing him, and immediately said that it was not raining in the sky, and it was indeed because of the traitors in the court, but it was not himself, but Huang Shaojie and the traitors behind him. He said to the emperor that the reason why Huang Shaojie was so bold in the matter was because someone behind him instructed him to attack himself so recklessly. He suggested to the emperor that Huang Shaojie should be taken down and dealt with strictly, and dig deep into the hidden officials behind him, and demote or kill them to eliminate the traitors in the court. In this way, if the traitorous minister goes, Gan Lin can be expected.

Seeing that Wen Tiren was about to die, Huang Shaojie had no scruples, and he went up to expose Wen Tiren's crimes: "Wen Tiren was once bribed tens of thousands of dollars by copper merchant Wang Cheng, and Wen Tiren's eldest son was bribed by Shen Ling, the governor of Xuanfu, and Gao Qinshun, the salt envoy of Lianghuai, and tens of thousands of taels. Wen Tiren reused his protégé Wang Zhi to let this person come forward, and he was widely bribed in the entire southeast and made a lot of money. Some time ago, Wen Tiren's private house was stolen, and the lost gold and jade could not be counted. These are all well-documented, and the minister does not dare to hide them, so they will report them to His Majesty truthfully. ”

Emperor Chongzhen was furious when he saw this, and he realized that it was impossible for him to find a concrete solution to the famine and drought among the ministers he thought would only attack each other. Angry and frustrated, he finally became angry with Huang Shaojie, and then demoted him to the head of the Shanglin Yuan Department and the deputy of the relocation department.

And solving famine and drought, such a matter that is related to the lifeblood of the country, has not been done in this way.

On the day of the derogation of Huang Shaojie, the young Emperor Chongzhen sat alone in the Dongnuan Pavilion for a long time, like a puppet.

Compared with the chaotic and sinking Ming Empire, the Houjin at this time is more and more revealing the vigor of the nascent regime.

Some time ago, the Later Jin army's captivity and attacks on all parts of Liaodong achieved brilliant results, and Abatai, Tan Tai, Turge and others all returned with plunder. The expedition of the Later Jin Dynasty caused the Ming army in Liaoxi to suffer another heavy blow, from the governor Fang Yizao to the general of the general army below, everyone's ambition was destroyed, and no one dared to mention the rebuilding of Dalinghe City.

On the sixth day of the fourth month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, because he saw that the Later Jin Kingdom was peaceful and prosperous, the Emperor Taiji decided to strengthen the Manchurian nature of the Later Jin State, so he issued an edict: "Those who have heard that the country inherits the heavens and starts a business, each has its own system, does not follow each other, and has not abandoned its Chinese language and counterattacked the language of other countries." Don't forget the beginning, it is to be able to hang for a long time, and it will be replaced forever. The Mongolian Zhubeile abandoned the Mongolian language, and the name of the lama was learned, and he died from the decline of the country's fortunes. Nowadays, the official names of our country, all from the Ming Kingdom, are all in Chinese, from its old name, this is worrying. If I inherit the inheritance, how can I change the system of our country and obey other countries? From now on, the official names and city names of our country will be changed to Manchu. ”

Huang Taiji issued an order, and the names of Ming officers originally learned by Nuer Hachi from Li Chengliang, such as the general soldier, deputy general, staff general, guerrilla, and reserve royal, were all changed one by one.

It was renamed the chief military officer of the fifth class as the first class duke, the first, second and third class chief military officer as the first, second and third class Ang Bang Zhangjing, the first and second second class deputy general - the second and third class Melle Zhangjing, the first and second class staff general as the first and second class Lazhangjing, the guerrilla as the third class Lazhangjing, and the reserve as Niu Lu Zhangjing. Daizi is the Xiao Riding School, Zhang Jing is the little Bashiku, the flag chief is the military academy, and Tunbashiku is the old name.

Then, the city of Shenyang was ordered to be "Tianjuan Shengjing", and Hetuala, the birthplace of Houjin, was named "Tianjuan Xingjing".

After these things were changed, Huang Taiji, who was in a good mood, ordered to open Enke and select scholars. Finally, according to the examination results, they were divided into three classes, 16 people in the first class, 32 people in the second class, and 181 people in the third class. Huang Taiji personally rewarded the scholars in the examination according to their ranks.

As a result, these sixteen people in the first class are those who have been examined by the Ministry of Rites to pass through Manchuria, Mongolia, and Hanshu Wenyi. Take the Manchurian scholar Ganglin, Dun Duohui. Manchurian scholars Cha Buhai and Enged. Han Chinese scholars Qi Guoru, Luo Xiujin, Zhu Canran, Liang Zhengda, Lei Xing, Ma Guozhu, Jin Zhu, Wang Laiyong. Mongolian scholars such as Obot, Xi Dai, and Surum. A total of 16 people, all of whom were given by the emperor to lift people.

Huang Taiji personally held a grand banquet for these sixteen people. After receiving such trust from the Great Khan, these people of the Jin Kingdom were all grateful, and they all vowed to work hard for the Great Khan.

Huang Taiji, who returned to the dormitory, was in good spirits although he was blushing from drinking. Taking advantage of this wine, he sent someone to invite Fan Wencheng, a scholar of the Wenguan University, to call over, and the two sat opposite each other and chatted.

The two chatted and chatted, and unconsciously, they talked about Li Xiao.

"Ben Khan heard that Abatai went to Liaoxi to fight this time, and made a special detour to burn Li Xiao's pier of no return, and Mr. Fan also heard about it." Huang Taiji snorted a wine uh and said lightly.

"The minister also knew about this, but he hated that Li Xiao had already absconded from Shandong, so he saved the dog's life. Otherwise, if this thief is caught, he will definitely be tied up to Shengjing and handed over to the Great Khan to be executed by his own hands. Fan Wencheng gritted his teeth and said.

"Haha, if Abatai can really capture Li Xiao here, Ben Khan will not punish him, but will greatly use him." Huang Taiji laughed.

"Oh, the Great Khan is so lenient to Li Xiao, you know, this guy killed dozens of elite knights with yellow flags in my Dajin, and intercepted a huge amount of gold and silver goods from my Dajin, such a serious crime, is the Great Khan not responsible?" Fan Wencheng was a little surprised.

"Mr. Fan, the two armies are at war, each with its own master. Li Xiao served the Ming Kingdom and killed my Dajin soldiers, although it was hateful, it was also blameless. Besides, Ben Khan is a man who cannot tolerate people? The general of the Ming army, Zu Dashou, killed how many Dajin soldiers I had, and made false surrenders several times, but Ben Khan did not remember his faults and deliberately recruited them. Why is it that now this brave young general Li Xiao, Ben Khan wants to remember his old hatred? As for the seizure of property, it is really a trivial matter, and it is not enough to worry about it. Huang Taiji said with a smile.

"The Great Khan is really as broad-minded as the sea, tolerant of people, cherishing talents, Mo Ming is the emperor, I expect that Tang Taizong Li Shimin will not be as good as that day." Fan Wencheng nodded again and again, and the sycophants followed closely.

"Haha, Mr. Fan is overrated. Sir, when you talk about the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, Ben Khan also wants to say something. According to Ben Khan, this is long in the hands of women, the arms of the temple eunuchs, it is difficult to go out of the palace gate a few times, not to mention the Ming Emperor Chongzhen who went into battle to fight, his talent is limited, and his martial arts are even more lacking. After Huang Taiji finished speaking, he sneered again and again.

"Oh, the Great Khan's point of view is to the point, and the analysis is extremely accurate." Fan Wencheng immediately agreed.

"The emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Ben Khan only admired two people, one was the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other was the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, these two people are the outstanding talents who really become emperors with their skills. Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, who started from a broken monk, and finally built a huge Ming Kingdom, is really an immortal hero. ”

"The Great Khan really whipped into the inside, into the wood for three points, thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang, a Huai right cloth, the vertical and horizontal war for decades to get the world, is indeed a hero." Fan Wencheng looked thoughtful.

"Ben Khan has been reading a lot of Han books recently, and he feels more and more that the reason why a country and a tribe can prosper lies in winning people, especially whether its leaders are outstanding and whether they have vision and strategy, which is the foundation of prosperity." Huang Taiji sighed lightly and said slowly.

Before Fan Wencheng could answer, Huang Taiji continued with deep eyes: "I think that back then, Ben Khan was only 20 years old, so he followed his father Khan to the Haixi Jurchen Ula Tribe, beheaded the enemy chieftain, and conquered six cities. Such a feat, that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Kingdom, don't dare to do it, I'm afraid I don't dare to think about it. ”

"The Great Khan is heroic and resourceful, don't say that the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is difficult to reach, even the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, is also difficult to reach the Great Khan." Fan Wencheng saw the opportunity, and another sycophant shot came.

"Haha, sir, the reputation is too much, Ben Khan is still self-aware. Ben Khan's intelligence should be inferior to Zhu Yuanzhang, but compared with Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming State, it is far too good. Huang Taiji said with a smile.

"The Great Khan is humble and discerning, and few people can see it. Fan admired it so much. ”

"In today's world, the world is in turmoil, and it is the time for courage and resourcefulness to compete. The emperor of the Ming Kingdom could not bear his responsibilities. Ben Khan sometimes wonders, if the Ming Emperor is in the position of my Khan, then can he rule? Among the brothers of Ben Khan, don't say that they are evil and untamable people such as Chu Ying and Mang Gurtai, and they don't mention the older and powerful people such as Daishan and Jierharang, but they are the younger brothers Duoduo and Fei Yangguo, and I am afraid that they also despise their intelligence and despise their cowardice. In the realm of this group of wolves, if Chongzhen sits on the throne of the Khan, and looks at it with this Khan, it is difficult to sit down safely if it is a year, even a month, or even three days. ”

After Huang Taiji finished saying this long paragraph, Fan Wencheng nodded in admiration again and again.

He sneered and said hurriedly: "The Great Khan is extremely intelligent and brave, and that Chongzhen cannot be compared." It can be seen that the destiny of heaven is in my Dajin, and this is the number of qi. ”

Huang Taiji laughed, shook his head and said: "The saying of qi is believed by others, but Ben Khan does not think so, and only believes that things are in the ears of people." Ben Khan was thinking, although Chongzhen's intelligence was mediocre, if he could know how to use people, he could also save himself. ”

Before Fan Wencheng could reply, Huang Taiji replied: "From the perspective of Ben Khan, in the Ming Kingdom, there are actually many Ming ministers and fierce generals, but it is a pity that the emperor failed to make full use of his materials. Chongzhen is a talent with insufficient intelligence, and he is suspicious and indecisive, so he is mostly restrained. With such a monarch, it is still difficult to keep it, let alone in this world of war and chaos. ”

"What the Great Khan said is very reasonable, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom does not know people, and the chaos in his country is only afraid that it will get worse day by day." Fan Wencheng sighed.

"Ben Khan said something. During the Mandate of Heaven, my Jurchen was short of food, and one stone of rice was as high as 15 taels of silver, and the people almost starved to death. As a result, there were merchants from Shanxi in the Ming Kingdom who brought a large number of life-saving materials such as grain and cloth to buy Dongzhu, mink and other things produced by our Jurchen tribe, so that my tribe could survive. These smugglers, exchanging precious grain and cloth for useless Dongzhu and mink skins, are simply blatant in financing the enemy country. If Ben Khan is Chongzhen, all these merchants will be exterminated, and Ling Chi will be executed, and none of them will be left. Then, the officials will investigate the crime of collaborating with the enemy and kill them all to prohibit them. It's a pity that the emperor of the Ming Kingdom can't even control the small businessman, and other aspects can be imagined. Huang Taiji said this, with a sneer on his face.

"The Great Khan said very well that if the monarch is weak, the country will be in chaos, and it has been the case since ancient times. Come to think of it, that day, Kong Youde and Shang Kexi, dared to rebel against the Ming Kingdom, but in front of the Great Khan, he could only be submissive, and the power of the Great Khan was comparable to Chongzhen. Fan Wencheng said with a sneer.

"Hmph, do you think that Kong Youde and Shang Kexi are good people? Definitely. These people, the two ends of the first rat, have little affection, and can only be used by coercion and inducement, Chongzhen can't use it, but Ben Khan can use it. Ben Khan rebuilt the old Han soldiers into the Han army, Shang Kexi rebuilt the Tianzhu soldiers, and Kong Youde rebuilt them into the Tianyou soldiers, and then extracted the good firearms from them to build a Wuzhenha super firearms battalion, so as to make full use of the firearms expertise of the Han people and make it an important force of our army. Hmph, one eliminates the other, the Ming Kingdom loses this important weapon, and my Dajin has greatly increased its military prestige. Huang Taiji said proudly, and the wine was full of wine, but he stroked his palms and laughed.

"The Great Khan is used for the purpose of measuring materials and ruling extraordinary, and it is a blessing for my Dajin subjects to meet such an outstanding king." Fan Wencheng's Gong Wei is extremely skilled.

"It's a pity, it's a pity that Li Xiao didn't enter my room." The smile on Huang Taiji's face disappeared, his eyes looked at the distance, and he sighed and said: "Although this Li Xiao is far away in Shandong, there is always a strange feeling in Ben Khan's heart. That is, this Li Xiao, in the near future, will eventually become my fierce rival again. ”
