324 Manchu harem tragedy

Of course, among them, Emperor Chongzhen personally stared at the Ming royal banking system. Because in the process, some officials have proposed that the merchants should not be allowed to exchange the silver, or that they should print more silver tickets, and there is already a lot of silver in the treasury anyway. And so on, Emperor Chongzhen did not agree to it.

At this time, the silver ticket was really just a silver ticket, not a paper money. The transformation from silver stamps to paper money was actually the cultivation of the credibility of the imperial court. Emperor Chongzhen is not naΓ―ve enough, just in just one or two years, he can cultivate the negative credit value.

Therefore, in the process of cultivation, he stared at anything that might affect the credibility of the imperial court, and he absolutely could not do it.

This time, taking advantage of the east wind of the salt policy reform, Emperor Chongzhen believed that the process of transforming silver bills into paper money would be greatly reduced, but there would still be a long process.

Just when Emperor Chongzhen was busy with domestic affairs, a new round of war on the Liaodong Peninsula was about to begin.

Huang Taiji made Lao Cheng's dignified Dai Shan the commander, and led the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han army with a total of 20,000 people to go to Jinzhou. On this expedition, there were few Mongols, so the cavalry was of little use in that narrow area.

To be honest, this time, Huang Taiji was not too worried. In his opinion, even if the Ming army came prepared, Lushun City had been demolished before, and even if it was not demolished, it was just a small city, and it could not be compared with a fortified city like Jinzhou at all. What's more, in this battle of Lushun, there was no need to even transport cannons from Shengjing, and on the Jinzhou side, there were still a few red-coated cannons brought by Kong Youde before.

This kind of bulky red-coated cannon does not have many advantages when it is pulled to fight in the field, but if you destroy the small city, it is a real killer weapon! He didn't believe it, with the help of red-clothed artillery, plus the elite soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty, he couldn't drive the Ming army into the sea?

If he really wants to say that he is worried, he is worried that the naval division will not be able to cut off the retreat of the Ming army at sea in time and be escaped by the Ming army, which will not be good. Only by annihilating these invading Ming troops, I believe that the next time the Ming Kingdom gathers troops to cross the sea, it will be even more difficult.

Therefore, when the army on land attacked, Huang Taiji also specially explained, don't force too much, lest the Ming army be frightened, and without waiting for the army to attack, he fled directly by boat.

On the other hand, Huang Taiji also sent another strict edict to North Korea, if the North Korean sailors could not arrive in Jinzhou within the time limit, he would ask the Korean lord to come to Shengjing to plead guilty.

For this North Korean sailor, he still has an idea, and after he is transferred, he is not ready to return it. Let Shang Kexi go to train and become a part of the Great Shimizu Division. Only in this way can the Great Qingshui Division be strengthened at the fastest speed, so as to cross the sea to the Ming Kingdom, which can not only plunder the grain of the Ming Kingdom, but also ensure the trade between the Great Salt Merchants and the Qing Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River.

No, Huang Taiji was in the Chongzheng Palace, looking at the copy of the covenant with the big salt merchant Le, he was very happy.

Since Fan Yongdou and other Jin merchants were eliminated by the Ming Kingdom, he has actually been worried.

To tell the truth, Huang Taiji is indeed a promising king, what he wants to do is to be stronger than the wild boar skin and create a bigger situation, instead of eating and waiting for death, and be satisfied with the status quo in Liaodong. It is precisely because he has this goal that he attaches great importance to the alliance with the Jiangnan salt merchants of the Ming Kingdom.

In order to pass back this covenant as soon as possible this time, Wu Zhong did not spy in detail about the situation in the Ming Kingdom. But somewhat, also brought back some news.

For example, the news brought back by Dodor and Haug was confirmed again. Also, the emperor of the Ming State was reforming the government, sent Qin to Jiangnan to rectify the rule of officials, and also caused a popular uprising, but then sent troops to suppress it. In addition, water conservancy is being built to prevent and control natural disasters.

These news made Huang Taiji very vigilant, and even faintly scared in his heart.

It is undeniable that the Ming Kingdom is a behemoth with a strong heritage. If the emperor of the Ming Kingdom really worked hard, he sorted out the domestic contradictions, and then concentrated all his efforts to deal with the Qing Dynasty......

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji didn't dare to think about it.

Of course, he didn't know that although the news given to him was true, it was actually specially passed to him with the permission of Emperor Chongzhen.

First, these news are not easy to hide, and second, after these news are transmitted to Liaodong, they can force Huang Taiji to do something, so that he can reorganize his army and fight without recuperation. After all, Liaodong's resources are limited, and if Huang Taiji uses materials for military purposes, it will inevitably affect people's livelihood, and it will be difficult to digest the Han people who were originally plundered to Liaodong.

At this time, Huang Taiji suddenly lost his smile, sighed and said: "Alas, the foundation of the Qing Dynasty is still too weak!" ”

The emperor's face suddenly changed, so that the palace maids who were waiting on the side were too frightened to make a sound, and they held their breath to reduce their sense of presence as much as possible.

Huang Taiji naturally didn't pay attention to these minions, but continued to think about his own affairs.

Even if the Great Qing Shui Division becomes stronger, if you want the Great Qing Dynasty to go further, you have to do more. And this is to rely more on Wu Zhong, a horse far away in the south of the Yangtze River.

He was born in Jinyiwei, he is familiar with the officialdom of the Ming Kingdom, and no one has an advantage over him to buy the officials of the Ming Kingdom.

The Ming Kingdom must be chaotic, and if you want to block the Ming Emperor, Wu Zhong is indispensable.

It's just a pity that the plan didn't change quickly, Wu Zhong's first task was to go to Jiangnan to contact the merchants, so he left by boat, so it was inconvenient to pretend to save the king of Mingguo to go back. But the road that Wu Zhong and the Jinyi Guard commanded will definitely take in the future.

Huang Taiji thought about it, and felt more and more the importance of Wu Zhong. Looking at the covenant in his hand again, if Wu Zhong was not satisfied, it would be impossible to get it in his hand so quickly.

Thinking like this, Huang Taiji suddenly had an idea, and immediately said: "Send a decree to summon a few princesses back to the palace." ”

He decided to hold a family banquet and treat his third daughter better, so that when Wu Zhong came back in the future, he would have something to say.

This kind of thing is really rare. When Huang Taiji's daughters heard this, they immediately packed up and hurried back to the palace. It's the third daughter of Huang Taiji who is a little special, and she doesn't seem to want to come, but the servant who went to the Horse Mansion to deliver the decree has been explained by the emperor, which is the main one, and it can't be missed. Therefore, this Gulun Jingduan eldest princess had to arrive.

Before Huang Taiji arrived, the main concubines of the harem, as well as Huang Taiji's sons and daughters, were already in place, waiting for Huang Taiji to arrive.

Of course, before the emperor arrived, they would certainly not sit quietly and do nothing.

When talking, whether openly or secretly, comparing with each other, that is indispensable.

One said, my family is the son of Lin Dan Khan, a descendant of the golden family, and he has a bunch of balabala land, raising his worth;

The other said that my family's forehead is to follow the Qing Dynasty to fight the world, and is the most iron-clad ally of the Aixin Jueluo family, Balabaladi, to show his status.

Speaking of later, it was natural that they all sneered at the eldest princess Gulun Jingduan. Because her forehead was originally just a Han slave.

In this regard, this Gu Lun Jingduan eldest princess replied to them at all, just lowered her head, as if she was trying to suppress something.

It didn't take long for Huang Taiji to finally arrive.

So, there should be a lot of drama, and these women who got married, for their own future, or for their husband's family, tried their best to behave in front of Huang Taiji.

The drama of the Manchu harem, not too much, will not be detailed one by one.

However, to the surprise of all of them, Huang Taiji paid great attention to the eldest princess of Gulun Jingduan, and even found that her face was a little wrong.

In this way, Huang Taiji was worried, don't take care of Wu Zhong when he was not there, and then it would cold his heart.

So, regardless of the opposition of the eldest princess Gu Lun Jingduan, he immediately summoned the imperial doctor to show the eldest princess Gu Lun Jingduan how her body was!

"Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess, happy to be happy!" No one expected that the imperial doctor suddenly reacted in surprise, leaving everyone stunned.

When Huang Taiji heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, he didn't expect Wu Zhong to have a child, so that he would be able to tie Wu Zhong more firmly and let him work hard for the Qing Dynasty.

However, immediately afterwards, Huang Taiji found that all the harem concubines had strange faces, looking at the eldest princess Gu Lun Jingduan and not speaking.

Seeing this, he immediately came to his senses, how long has Wu Zhong been gone? The child in this belly, no matter how bad it is, it can't be Wu Zhong's!

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji was furious on the spot, pointing at the eldest princess of Gulun Jingduan, her hands were shaking, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

Subsequently, news soon came out in the palace, it is said that there were eunuchs and palace maids who were rude, angering the emperor, and those palace maids who served the emperor's family banquet that day, a total of more than 30 people, were basically all killed on the spot! Plus, add a royal doctor.

Huang Taiji's mood is very bad, although he killed people and killed his mouth, but those concubines and princesses or something, then they can't be killed, and there are so many people, although he has issued a gag order, but the paper can't contain the fire, and it will definitely spread out in the future, which makes him have to worry, if Wu Zhong knows about this, it will definitely be unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty.

If Huang Taiji knew, Wu Zhong didn't take his daughter seriously at all, and the reason why he wanted to marry was because his daughter didn't treat the Han people as people, and she still chased him and beat him, which was a deliberate revenge.

Huang Taiji didn't know that the scheming he planned was actually useless, and as soon as Wu Zhong returned to the Ming Kingdom, he immediately confessed everything and continued to perform his duties as a secret agent of the brocade guard.

Just when he was in a bad mood, there was an urgent report, saying that the Tashan Ancestor Dashou Department had signs of attacking Haizhou, and the night harvest sent out was very active.

This time, Huang Taiji was angry, he didn't fight him, he dared to provoke himself?

But angry is angry, now in the direction of Jinzhou, the war has begun, and the materials, grain and grass have been allocated to that side. With the strength of the Qing Dynasty, it was impossible to start a war on two fronts. So, he had no choice but to write a letter and ask someone to send it to Tower Hill.

Not long after, in the Tashan General Military Mansion, Zu Dashou read the letter sent by Huang Taiji at a glance, his face was first surprised, and then he smiled.

"Big brother, what's written in this letter?" Zu Dacheng asked a little curiously, "The night we sent out is not collected, and they all go to hang out outside Haizhou City, so he is not angry?" ”

When Zu Dashou heard this, he said with a smile: "We are despising Jianyu, how can he not be angry!" ”

"Then why did the eldest brother look at this letter and laugh?" Zu Dacheng said a little curiously, "If you don't do it, you will send troops to fight us, this is not a joke!" ”

Zu Dashou stood up, walked up to his brother, handed the letter directly, and said with a smile: "He didn't send troops, he just intimidated me." In this way, what Governor Hong said is indeed true. Governor Lu had rebuilt Dongjiang Town and restrained Jianyu's forces. Therefore, he could only intimidate and did not send troops. ”

To tell the truth, when Hong Chengchou's military order first came, Zu Dashou didn't believe it. Because the reconstruction of Dongjiang Town, it is very difficult for him to come. Even if Lu Xiangsheng sent troops across the sea to Jinzhou in Liaodong, it was unknown whether he could defeat it, how much he lost, whether he could stand his ground, and whether he had enough strength to threaten Jianyu.

However, Zu Dashou and Huang Taiji have been dealing with each other for many years, and as soon as he saw this threatening letter, he knew that the Ming army that landed in Jinzhou made Huang Taiji bothered.

Now on the side of the Ming Dynasty, Dongjiang Town no longer belongs to the Guanning side, and there is no problem of distributing military salaries and food from Guanning.

If Dongjiang Town, which belongs to the Governor of Baoding, can gain a foothold in Jinzhou and make Jianyu feel threatened, it will undoubtedly reduce the pressure on Guanning's side. Realizing this, Zu Dashou will be so happy.

Seeing that Huang Taiji's letter was passed in his brother's hand, Zu Dashou walked back to his seat and sat down, and suddenly said with emotion: "It's a shame that we didn't make a mistake at the beginning, if we continue like this, Jianyu's side will have troubles in the future, and the situation in Liaodong will change!" ”

"Yes, big brother, I'm worried about Huang Taiji!" After reading it, Zu Dacheng said a little gloatingly, "If Governor Lu sends an elite like our Guan Ning Army to Jinzhou, Huang Taiji will probably not be able to sleep well in the future!" ”

"This shouldn't be possible!" When Zu Dashou heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "How can Daming have so many elites?" It is impossible for the emperor to send the three major battalions under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor to the Jinzhou side! So, I hope that the Golden State side can hold on! ”

"I think it's a little difficult, Huang Taiji will definitely pull out this nail." Zu Dabi also finished reading it at this time, and immediately shook his head and said, "There is no strong city to defend there, it's difficult!" ”

Hearing this, Zu Dashou also nodded, approving his brother's words.

He thought for a moment, and then said to his brother, "This letter is forwarded to Governor Hong." In addition, there will be more distributions at night, but be careful that if there is any movement, withdraw immediately. ”

These brothers of his, naturally, will not have an opinion.

After that, they turned their gaze to the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula. As expected, a fierce battle was about to take place there.

If the Ming army wins, it will be able to gain a foothold there, and the days of Jianyu will be sad in the future.

If Jianyu wins, everything will be restored to before, and Liaodong will still be Liaodong of Jianyu.

In fact, not only Zu Dashou and others are concerned, including the Manchu Qing side and the Ming side, they are all paying attention to this upcoming war.
