Text Volume 3 Road to Empire_Chapter 91 Huang Taiji's Anger

In the Shenyang Khan Palace Museum, Huang Taiji listens to a report from Yue Tuo and Da Hai, who he sent to persuade Dai Shan and Amin to lend most of this year's harvest to the state treasury so that Houjin can survive this year's food shortage.

Under Yue Tuo's persuasion, Dai Shan finally agreed to lend this year's harvest, which made Huang Taiji's mood a little lighter. But Dahai brought back an unpleasant message, "... Amin Belle said that if there is any shortage of flags, you can open up to him yourself, and he will definitely do his best to help.

But if it is lent to the treasury, God knows whose pockets it will go to. He is not willing to use the wealth of this banner to satisfy the selfish desires of some people..."

"Bastard thing." Huang Taiji patted the table in front of him angrily, and Huo stood up from the chair. Amin's answer undoubtedly really angered him, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to maintain the unity within the Eight Banners for the time being.

Dahai immediately stopped talking, and the Manchu and Han officials in the room all kept their mouths tightly shut, for fear that Huang Taiji would be angry with him. In fact, except for Dahai and a few Han officials, the others did not understand why Huang Taiji suddenly became angry. In their opinion, although Erbeile did not agree to lend this year's grain harvest with blue flags to the state treasury, it could be regarded as agreeing to lend grain to other flags, but he just asked Baylor to beg him himself, wanting to earn a face.

Naturally, the stomach is more important than face. Therefore, if the flag Baylor bows its head to the second Baylor, and can borrow grain, there is actually nothing wrong with it. Therefore, they could not understand why Huang Taiji became so excited after hearing this. After all, they had been by Huang Taiji's side for so long, and they knew that this Four Beylers were known for their generosity among the Jurchen Beylers, and there were few things that could arouse his anger, and today's scene was really a bit surprising.

Da Hai, who was the head of the Manchu and Han officials of the Wenguan, kept looking at Huang Taiji's expression, watching this Khan King restrain his emotions, and slowly put away the anger on his face before he dared to open his mouth and persuade: "King Khan, the number of fields under the name of the Blue Banner accounts for more than a quarter of the total number of fields under the name of the Eight Banners, and the soybean output of the fields under the Blue Flag is almost one-third of China's total soybean output this year.

It can be said that the blue flag is only the power of one flag, but it has already reached the output of the cultivated land of the other two flags. Now Yuetobel has persuaded the two red flags to agree to lend one-third of this year's grain output and sell one-fourth of the grain stock to the state treasury.

This matter, Amin Belle should not be clear, otherwise Amin Belle would not have so firmly rejected the persuasion of the minions. The slave felt that now that our country had just emerged from the effects of last year's war, it should still give priority to stabilizing the situation in the country. It's better to let Yue Tobel and the minions go and persuade Amin Belle again, there is Daishan Belle to lead by example, and I think Amine Belle will also give in.

This year's food shortage in the Houjin Kingdom is not small, and not only are the people of the Eight Banners at risk of food shortage, but the Mongolian people who have just been placed in various ministries for a short time also have the problem of food shortage. If we expect each flag to solve the problem of food ration scarcity on its own, there will naturally be many contradictions, and cracks will also appear between the flags.

The fact that our country is a small state and is surrounded by enemies is not because of our large number of soldiers and horses, but because of the unity of our country. In the past, the reason why the first Khan was able to unify the Jurchen tribes, repeatedly defeated the Ming army, established the country and ascended the throne, and deterred the Quartet. It is because our army is united in its heart, and the enemy army is divided from top to bottom, and the army has no fighting spirit.

The minions thought that the predicament that Amin Bel Nin was facing in our country should also obey the order of the Khan and hand over the grain to the treasury for unified distribution, instead of continuing to do things on his own. ”

Huang Taiji glanced at Dahai and asked expressionlessly, "Do you think Erbeile will listen to your persuasion?" I still know this cousin well, he is not only greedy for money but also very vindictive.

When he was a child, the second uncle and the elder brother conspired to collude with the Ming Kingdom to stand on their own feet and betrayed the first Khan. After the matter was revealed, Xian Khan originally intended to execute his second uncle and several adult cousins.

I thought about my family that day, and together with a few brothers, I came forward to protect Bao Amin, which made Xian Khan spare his life, and later Xian Khan also let him receive the blue flag.

But how did Amin repay me in the future? After his father and brother were killed, he behaved like a family dog in front of the Khan, thus winning the Khan's trust. Later, because Concubine Abahai said bad things about me in front of Xian Khan, Xian Khan and I also had a quarrel. But not only did Amin not help me defend myself in front of the first khan, but he immediately distanced himself from me, and ran away and began to flatter the reckless Gurtai coming, isn't this ungrateful?

I was ordained to the throne of the Khan, and instead of swearing allegiance to me, Amin colluded with Mang Gurtai to come up with a system in which the four major bailes jointly governed the government.

Let him attack Korea, and he wants to stay in Korea and establish himself as king; Let him stay in Shenyang, he sat down in the south, and asked the courtiers to pay homage to him as a vassal. I think Amin has not forgotten the hatred of Xian Khan who killed his father and brother, so he thinks about splitting the country of Houjin everywhere. ”

Dahai suddenly stopped talking, although he was loyal to Huang Taiji, but he was still a flag man after all, and he was not willing to blindly obey Huang Taiji for this kind of topic that was very likely to cause the Eight Banners to attack each other and cause internal chaos. The Jurchen population is not large, and if a number of people are killed or injured because of civil strife, it is really not a problem.

However, Dahai had scruples about the bloodshed in the Eight Banners, but the Han officials had no scruples about this issue. Shaving their hair and braiding, thus completely taking refuge in the Jurchens, although saving their lives, but it made them change from the ruling class of the Ming State to the ruled class of the Later Jin State, which was obviously not their ultimate goal after surrendering.

For these Han officials and Confucian students, after the surrender of the Jin State, it was easy to shave their hair and obey, although the shame of surrendering to the barbarians was engraved on them. However, if the king of barbarians can be courteous to the corporal, respect Confucianism, and accept the teachings of the sages, he will be able to turn the razor into a summer eventually. Then they are not shameless people who have taken refuge in the barbarians, but people who teach the barbarians to become the people of China who endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens.

If this barbarian can enter China and inherit the Chinese legal system, then they will be transformed into famous ministers and virtuous ministers. According to the words of later generations, they are historical figures who were able to recognize the overall situation, follow the trend, and control their own destiny at a turning point in history, and they are also meritorious heroes who promoted national integration.

Although Tiancong's three-year battle against the Ming Dynasty suffered a setback, which reduced Huang Taiji's popularity within the Eight Banners, his reputation among the Han people became even higher. Because the imperial examination that began in the third year of Tiancong gave hope to the Han gentry and scholars in the Later Jin Dynasty, a hope for them to get out of the enslavement of the Jurchens and Mongols.

These Han gentry and scholars betrayed the Ming army and surrendered to Nurhachi, thinking that they would still be able to enjoy the privileges they had in the Ming Kingdom. But soon these gentry and scholars were educated by Nurhachi, and the Jurchen nobles led by Nurhachi had no intention of sharing the ruling power of the Later Jin Kingdom with them.

In the eyes of the Jurchens, they were no different from those Han slaves, and because of their wealth, they were often extorted by the Jurchen generals. This is also why, the Liu Xingzuo brothers, who have long taken refuge in Nurhachi, would rather leave their families behind than flee back to Daming. It's not that they are nostalgic for the Ming Dynasty, but that they simply can't get the same status as the Jurchens, and even less than the status of the Mongols.

As soon as he ascended the throne, he immediately set out to improve the status of the Han people in China, and planned to change the domestic politics of the Later Jin Dynasty and establish the official system of the Later Jin Dynasty by imitating the Han people. His actions naturally won the loyalty of these Han officials and Confucian scholars, who regarded Huang Taiji as a Ming monarch and considered him a barbarian leader who could turn the Later Jin Kingdom into a state of China.

And after Amin kidnapped Sun Degong's family to the Ming Kingdom in exchange for captured Jurchen soldiers, under the sad psychology of the rabbit and the fox, these Han officials and Confucian students thought that only Huang Taiji was left who could shelter them in the Later Jin Kingdom. If they want to avoid the Ming Emperor's liquidation of these surrendered Han officials, then it is best for the Houjin State to have only Huang Taiji have the final say.

In the eyes of Han officials such as Gao Hongzhong, Bao Chengxian, Ning Wanme, Ma Guozhu, and Fan Wencheng, it was obviously not suitable to originally want to increase the prestige of Huang Taiji, marginalize the other three Great Baylors in the court, and finally make Huang Taiji the real Great Khan of the Later Jin State.

Judging from the current situation, it is likely that the Houjin and the Ming Dynasty will fall into a kind of equilibrium, and a large-scale war between the two sides will not break out easily, because no one wants to fight a war that outweighs the losses. Once the Houjin transitions from a state of war to an era of peaceful development, who has more financial resources and materials will be more important than the number of troops in their hands.

In the absence of the ability to plunder the supplies of the Ming Kingdom, no one can guarantee that a strong but hungry army will be extremely loyal to them. If it is not possible to resolve the three Baylors politically and peacefully, then it is natural to be prepared to solve them by force. As for how much blood will be shed in this infighting, they don't care at all, they only care a little, and make sure that the side that wins this infighting is their side.

Ning Wan, who was anxious to perform, was the first to jump out to echo Huang Taiji's remarks, and he said indignantly: "King Khan is right, "The Book of Rites: Zeng Zi asked" said: There are no two days in the sky, there are no two kings in the earth, there are no two masters in the family, and there are no two respects.

Now that the Khan King has ascended the throne, the title of this monarch has been decided. In the past, the system of the four major Baylors jointly managing the government was nothing more than an extraordinary system that had to be carried out as a last resort in order to unite the Baylors to resist the strong enemy after the death of the first Khan.

Now that the Ming Kingdom has signed a contract with our country, the DPRK has also signed a brotherhood agreement with our country, and the Chahar Department has moved westward to the Hetao, and the external situation of our country can be described as very good.

At this time, it is natural that we should adjust the domestic system, put things in order, and follow the example of the Central Plains Dynasty to establish our country's official system. The minions dared to ask the Khan to abolish the system of the four great beyles and set up six officials to govern the country..."

Ning finished my radical strategy, but did not impress Huang Taiji, he criticized Amin not to make a big move, but to remove Amin from the four Baylors first, and by the way, to see if the people in his literary hall were really only loyal to themselves.
