vs 48 Defeat

When Li Yu lived a stable life in Kuku and Tun, Shenyang's Sibeile, which is today's Tiancong Khan, was struggling endlessly, and he was already anxious - the old Khan left him a mess, the Dajin Kingdom was almost unable to hold on, and the price of grain still couldn't stop rising, not only Nikan and the Mongols were starving, but the Zhushen in the Eight Banners himself couldn't eat enough, and the Dajin State was short of silver or grain, and as soon as the price of grain rose, other life-saving things such as cloth and iron tools immediately followed the price, and the Jin Guogui who held a lot of silver in his hand, The ministers felt that they were going to become poor, and they complained one by one, in line with the established policy of "fighting if there is no food to eat" when the old Khan was alive, Tiancong Khan immediately found the soft persimmon pinch of Zalut, and the fight went very smoothly, killed Zalut's Orzhaitu, and by the way, swept the Xilamulun River again, Chahar Khan didn't even dare to let go of a fart, but the war could only temporarily transfer the contradictions, and the problem of eating still could not be solved, and there was no oil and water to fight the poor bones, and there was not much benefit, What's even more troublesome is that it also provoked a group of Mongols who couldn't get along with Chahar Khan to come and ask for food, no, they came to submit to Shun, isn't this a intention to cause trouble?

Tiancong Khan also thought of a way, the Tuokesuo Farm is only allowed to keep one per reserve, and Zhuang Ding is limited to eight people, the surplus people are divided into tun and don't live in their own farming, the palace and the side wall are not repaired, and the Ding Zhuang who is pulled in has rushed home, and the Nikan who has no land to plant is also easy to do, and there is a lot of land in Liaodong, so he will draw a piece of the land from the clearing out for him to plant, Tiancong Khan also hit the idea on the commercial tax, and the Khan decreed that "the city tax is paid by the state fee, and it is subject to its trade and trade, and the crime of private foreign countries and tax evaders." "But Tiancong Khan's three fires have not been lit, and Zhuang Ding of Tukesuo has already run almost away, it would be good to have eight left, how many people can there be? It is an empty phrase to let Nikan divide the land and farm by himself, to grow grain, you need seeds, farm tools and livestock, who can afford it this year, as for the collection of business taxes, someone has to do business, the Eight Banners Zhushen is not allowed to do business, the Han people can't eat where to do business, and the merchants of the Ming Kingdom who can go to Dajin to do business are not fuel-efficient lamps, it is good not to come to pit you, and a word is far from quenching your thirst. Dajin Kingdom has no food to eat, people are going to come nonsense, out of the city is full of bandits, killing a batch and coming again, all over the country Zhushen is so frightened that they dare not go out of the door of the walled fort in broad daylight, and Dajin Country is more chaotic than before.

Tiancong Khan is going to die of bitterness, but the other big Baylors are still dissatisfied with him, as soon as the four Baylors ascended the throne, they canceled the rules of the four Baylors on duty, which was originally a logical thing, the old eight years are rich and strong, and they want the other three big Baylors to mix something, but these guys are still not convinced, Amin hints from time to time that he wants to split up and live alone, Mang Gurtai always says bad things about the old eight behind his back, and the big Baylor is the most cultivated, so he likes to watch the old eight get angry without saying a word. The most troublesome thing is that these three people have too much power, without their nod, Tiancong Khan can't do anything, and the people of Dajin Kingdom call them the four Buddhas of Dajin.

This is not the most serious, as soon as he thinks of the Ming army entrenched in Liaoxi, Tiancong Khan immediately has an unprecedented fear, he is afraid that the Ming State will suddenly have the courage to play with him, the Ming State is too strong, as long as the Ming army enters Liaodong and he fights to the death for a month, with the current situation of the Dajin Kingdom, he will collapse, but his luck is too good, in October, Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, inexplicably sent Lama Li and Du Si Fu Youjue to Shenyang to mourn for the sworn enemy Ying Ming Khan, and congratulated Tiancong Khan on his accession to the throne, Tiancong Khan was overjoyed, At the very least, it means that Ming Guo hasn't considered beating him up yet.

Tiancong Khan entertained the envoys sent by the governor of Liaodong for nearly a month, and deliberately let the envoys witness the military appearance of Dajin's victorious army when Dabeile returned triumphantly from the Xilamulun River, and finished these scenes, Tiancong Khan sent Fang Jina and Wen Tashi to Ningyuan to see Yuan Chonghuan with Li Lama and Fu Youjue, and gave Yuan Chonghuan a letter very bluntly, "When the former emperor went to Ningyuan, he wrote a letter to the seal, but he was not answered. If it is repaired, the answer is true, and there is no decoration. "Tiancong Khan really wants to negotiate peace, the Ming State is simply a behemoth relative to the Jin State, if the two sides continue to fight, no matter how many times the Jin State wins, the unlucky one can only be the Jin State in the end, but Tiancong Khan did not expect that Fang Jina and Wen Tashi were soon driven back, and the letter was returned intact - the governor of Liaodong neither opened the envelope nor replied, on the grounds that the words "Da Ming" and "Da Jin" on the envelope were juxtaposed, indicating that Jianzhou ignored the dignity of **** and could not be transferred to the imperial court, and there was no need to reply. Tiancong Khan's face was blue, since Mingguo continued to ignore Dajin's existence, then he knew what to do.

On the eighth day of the first month of the first year of Tiancong, Tiancong Khan issued an edict aimed at convening the imperial council in the Great Political Palace. Zhubeile and important ministers were all present, Tiancong Khan first left his seat to pay a big salute to Daishan, Amin, and Mang Gurtai, and then returned to his seat, and together with the other three big beylers, he faced south to accept the worship of the ministers - Tiancong Khan hated this rule set by the old Khan, but he still had to endure it, and the current Dajin Kingdom is ruled by four Buddhas!

Now the Dazheng Hall is lively as soon as the meeting starts, and it is a bit chaotic, this is the masterpiece of Tiancong Khan, it is he who insists on revising the official system, and pulls a large group of people into the Dazheng Hall - the power of the Baylors of the banners is too great, and they are in the way everywhere, Tiancong Khan has to cut their power, he first digs the foot of the wall of the flags, expands the power of the banners and mountains, and stipulates that the Bagu Mountain is really divided into the Eight Banners and flags, and is directly ordered by the Great Khan himself, and he has dug up a piece of power from the hands of the banners, and set up a ****** of ministers to praise the flags and flags, listen to the Eight Banners Lawsuit, and then set up ****** ministers, participate in the lawsuit, and promote the Eight Banners to march and garrison, so that the authority in the hands of the owners of the banners is greatly weakened. Then it was mixed with sand, and Tiancong Khan insisted that the Eight Solid Mountain Ezhen, the Sixteen Zanli Ministers, and the Sixteen Promoted Ministers should not be concurrently served by the Baylor and Beizi, but by the Great Khan from the Eight Banners, so that Tiancong Khan took the opportunity to place the people he trusted, at least those who were pleasing to the eye, to the important positions of the banners. Of course, the Baylors understand that the eighth child wants to seize their power, but can they stop this kind of good thing where everyone is promoted and rich? Their own people will not be happy, the Baylors of the banners have suffered a big loss, they are not good on the surface, and they are constantly making small moves behind their backs, Tiancong Khan also understands in his heart that he is hated to death by others, but this trick is quite good, and the Baylors of the banners also have some scruples when they mess around, and the more troublesome thing is that most of the people who were pulled into the gang by Tiancong Khan are illiterate rough people, and every time they are called to participate in the imperial meeting, it is always a little messy.

Tiancong Khan glanced at the ministers, took out the letter that was returned, and told the ministers about the letter of the governor of Liaodong of the Ming Kingdom, and the ministers were immediately furious, shouting and shouting and killing sounded, and a few guys had jumped out to fight for the vanguard, Tiancong Khan saw that the fire was almost over, waved his hand to make everyone quiet, and then solemnly said to the ministers: "The Ming Kingdom is rude, ignoring my Dajin, and should have raised troops to fight, but the war will hurt the innocent people of the two countries, my Dajin has always been benevolent and righteous, for the sake of tens of millions of lives, and it is imperative to negotiate peace with the Ming State." ”

The ministers immediately shouted "Great Khan Benevolence" and "Great Khan Wisdom", ...... Amin and Mang Gurtai looked at each other and smiled, these guys will only do this, in fact, everyone knows that now is not the time to send troops to attack Ming.

Tiancong Khan continued: "I, Dajin, took the initiative to propose peace to the governor of Liaodong of the Ming State this time, but the rights and wrongs between Dajin and the Ming State must be clear, the war between the two countries is in the Ming State, not in me, the 'Seven Hatreds' is the reason why the two countries ignited the flames of war, and the Ming State must pay the price for this, otherwise the soldiers will meet each other." ”

The ministers were cheering again, the sound of "Great Khan Shengming" and "Great Khan Mighty" was endless, Tiancong Khan ordered Kurtang and Dahai to read the letter to the governor of Liaodong of the Ming State to everyone, the content of the letter was actually simple, that is, to reiterate the "seven hatreds" put forward by the old Khan, the key is the conditions for peace, Dajin asked the Ming State to produce the "gift of the first peace" 100,000 taels of gold, 1 million taels of silver, 1 million horses of silk, 10 million horses of silk cloth, and 10 million pieces of silk cloth from the Jin country. Each year you have to give a gift.

Kurtang and Dahai laughed while reading, and the ministers couldn't help laughing when they heard it, the Great Khan really dared to ask for a price, and it was up to Ming Guo to sit on the ground and repay the money.

Tiancong Khan waited for everyone to make enough trouble, and began to talk about business with a flat face: "Of course, my Dajin hopes that the peace negotiation will be successful, so that the people of the two countries can live and work in peace and contentment from now on, and how much money they contribute can be discussed, and we can also use the name of the Ming Dynasty to respect the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain, and the border can also be the boundary of the Sancha River, but the Ming Kingdom thinks it is ****, and regards us as a slave, and if they don't subdue them, they will not pay attention to us at all, and if you want to hurt the Ming Kingdom, you must cut off its two wings, and the Chahar Khan in our west has been disabled, and can only survive, Now we have to deal with Korea in the east and Dongjiang Town in the Ming Kingdom, this time the two will fight together. As for the letter to the governor of Liaodong, Fang Jina and Wen Tashi will go to Ningyuan again, let Ming Guo figure it out for himself, and when they come to their senses, North Korea is over. ”

When it comes to the main topic, everyone doesn't dare to scream, North Korea has maintained relations with Jin for a long time since the Battle of Salhu, but in the eighth year of the Mandate of Heaven, there was a coup d'Γ©tat in Korea, and Gwanghae-kun, who maintained a neutral position, was deposed, and Injo Li Liang became the king of Joseon, and immediately cooperated with the Ming State to carry out a trade blockade of the Jin State, and also provided shelter and support for Mao Wenlong's Ming army in Dongjiang Town, if you want to completely exterminate Mao Wenlong, you must enter Korea to force it to sever relations with the Ming State and remove Mao Wenlong from Korea, At the same time, trade with Daikin was resumed.

The strategy of the crusade against Korea was quickly decided, this time the army led by Erbel Amin to go out, and the troops of Zilharang, Azig, Dudu, Yuetuo, Shuotuo and other accompanying troops, in order to solve the food shortage of the Jin country, in addition to the army, they also had to bring more than 10,000 Zhushen who had no food into Korea to eat, of course, these people could not just eat together, but also transport back the looted property and grain.

The matter of sending troops to North Korea was decided, Tiancong Khan set his sights on the Ming Kingdom and Chahar again, and the Ming State still had to continue to hold on, of course it was a good thing to be able to negotiate peace, and the peace agreement could not be achieved but as long as the Ming State was not to aid North Korea, it was considered to have achieved the goal, and it was simple for the Chahar tribes, and the Khalkha tribes had already hated the Chahar Khan to the core, and they were surrendering Dajin one after another. Chahar Khan may not be able to keep his old book this time.

In early February, Erbel Amin took advantage of the unmelted ice and snow on the Yalu River to lead 30,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners across the river and directly take Uiju in Korea, and the war of Dajin against Korea broke out. Tiancong Khan is not worried about Amin at all, Erbeile has already become a fine after a lifetime of fighting, the miscellaneous soldiers of the Korean State plus Mao Wenlong's rabble, is definitely not his opponent, Tiancong Khan is most afraid of the Ming army in Liaoxi, Erbeile took away the elite of the four flags inlaid with blue, inlaid white, red and red, the defensive force of Liaodong is immediately insufficient, if the Ming army dares to enter Liaodong, the Jin State can only defend the city and the walled fort, but this is not much use, the Ming army actually does not need to attack the city at all, as long as you learn from Mao Wenlong to scourge the outside of the castle, Dajin Guo will not live this year.

Whatever you are afraid of comes, just into March, Tiancong Khan received an urgent report, there are a large number of elite Ming troops west of the Sancha River, there are nearly 10,000 people on the water and land routes, the situation is suddenly tense, Tiancong Khan ordered the border flag soldiers and the Han army to strictly guard the east bank of the Sancha River, closely monitor the movements of the Ming army, and at the same time strictly order the Jin army along the river must not cross the border to have any provocation against the Ming army. Tiancong Khan waited anxiously to see the next move of the Ming army, and soon there was an urgent report from the Sancha River, and the Ming army only showed its face west of the Sancha River for two days, and then hurriedly withdrew. This time he escaped again, Tiancong Khan breathed a sigh of relief, and then the envoy of the governor of Liaodong came back with Fang Jina, and this time he also brought a letter from the governor of Liaodong, Tiancong Khan's heart was completely put down, as long as he didn't talk about it.

Therefore, Tiancong Khan was very happy to fight a battle of pen and ink with the governor of Liaodong, and the governor of Liaodong refuted the so-called "seven hatreds" of Jianzhou one by one in the letter, and refused without hesitation for the lion of Tiancong Khan, and put forward the request that the land and population of Liaodong be returned to the Ming Dynasty.

Tiancong Khan happily ridiculed the governor of the Ming State to Kurtang and Dahai, in fact, everyone was bargaining, what to do with so much nonsense, and now Tiancong Khan has the bottom in his heart - Amin reported the victory from North Korea, and the Jin army of North Korea went to Yiju and Pyongyang in one go, and by the way, he took Mao Wenlong's den in North Korea Tieshan, and the Jin army crossed the Datong River in one breath and drove the king of North Korea to Ganghwa Island, and the lord of North Korea was scared, at this time Amin sent Liu Xingzuo to negotiate, and the king of North Korea immediately signed a "brotherly alliance" with Amin, promised that he would never be an enemy of Jin in the future, and promised to send his cousin Li Jue to apologize to Jin Guo with heavy gifts, and since the Korean problem was solved, Cong Khan no longer needed to be afraid of the Ming army.

In April, Tiancong Khan confidently sent a letter to the governor of Liaodong, refuting the reasons for the governor of Liaodong to refute the "seven hatreds", but agreed to write Dajin and Dajin Khan in a format lower than that of Daming and the Ming Emperor, and after writing nonsense, Tiancong Khan was very happy to cut his offer by half and continue to bargain with the Ming State. Before the messenger left, Tiancong Khan suddenly heard that the governor of Liaodong took advantage of the peace talks between the two sides to build the three cities of Jinzhou, Zhongzuo and Dalinghe, Tiancong Khan was a little angry, and immediately attached a letter to condemn it, accusing the governor of Liaodong of falsely claiming peace, secretly building castles, taking the opportunity to prepare for war, and not keeping his word, and warned the other party that if he sincerely negotiated peace, he should first demarcate the border.

This round of pen and ink battle between the two sides finally came to an end, Tiancong Khan took the opportunity of the two sides to defeat North Korea, drove Mao Wenlong off the sea, the right wing of the Ming State was actually crippled, and the governor of Liaodong also took the opportunity to repair Jinzhou, Zhongzuo, and Dalinghe at any cost, both sides have their own gains, since no one has the strength to eat each other, there is no way to maintain a stalemate for the time being, but in early May from the West Liaohe came a shocking news to break this stalemate - Chahar Khan ran, He fled westward with the tribes directly under Chahar and the Etok that could still be mobilized, so that Chahar was left with only a negligible remaining force in the territory of the Western Liao River, and completely lost the ability to attack, and the western front of the Jin State could sit back and relax.

Chahar Khan really couldn't stay any longer, and the Naiman and Ao Han tribes directly under the Otok had already colluded with the Jin State, and Chahar Khan sent troops to attack them, and the two tribes simply broke away from Chahar openly and went east to the Jin State. These two leaders of the Etok are the uncles of Chahar Khan, they have all betrayed, who else can be relied on, Chahar Khan was completely desperate, he set his sights on the 30,000 households of the Mongolian right wing, which is the territory of Altan Khan for many years, the population and property are far better than the 30,000 households of the left wing, and the most important thing is the city reward and mutual market of the Ming State, if the Chahar controls Karaqin, Tumut and Ordos, then along the Great Wall can border the Ming State, as long as the Ming State can assist him, the Chahar Department still has a chance to regain its strength.

Tiancong Khan immediately understood that Chahar Khan's territory, population and livestock and property in the Xiliao River and Xilamulun River were waiting for him to take it, and he couldn't help but want to fight the Ming State, he couldn't tolerate the Ming State Governor while arguing with him, and at the same time secretly repairing the city and building forts, he wanted to go to the door to find the Ming State to negotiate peace. Dai Shan, Amin and Mang Gurtai immediately opposed, the current situation of the Jin State is not good, half of the elite has just finished fighting North Korea, and they have not had time to rest, and now they are going to the Ming Kingdom to hit the iron wall of Liaoxi, I am afraid that it will not be good.

Tiancong Khan was a little confident, he told these three elder brothers, we must not give the Ming State a chance to accumulate strength in the Ningjin area, to defeat the Ming Kingdom to the point of discouragement and have to negotiate peace with us, in this way, we have the opportunity to conquer the huge Mongolia, and when we have Mongolia, then we don't have to be afraid of the Ming State anymore. Tiancong Khan made it clear that he had made up his mind to send troops, and if the Baylors did not agree, then he had to convene the ministers for a pre-imperial meeting.

On the ninth day of the fifth month, Tiancong Khan and Da Beile, Erbeile and Sanbeile led the elite of the Eight Banners to Guangning, and on the 11th, the soldiers attacked the Ming realm in three ways, lightly took the right Tunwei and Daling River, and drove directly to the city of Jinzhou, and the Ningjin War between Dajin and Daming broke out.

However, this battle was fought in a tiger's head, Tiancong Khan did not find the opportunity to show his eloquence, the Ming army still honestly gathered heavy troops to defend the city, the Jin army was still attacking the city without skill, first attacking Jinzhou Buke, and then attacking Ningyuan or in vain, and then withdrew troops to continue to besiege Jinzhou, the Jin army that had just withdrawn from North Korea was exhausted in Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and besieged Ningyuan and Jinzhou for twenty-four days in vain, and the Ming army also had the courage to fight a few field battles with the Jin army, and the Jin army repelled the Ming army without any suspense, But he also had casualties, the Jin army couldn't fight under Ningjin City, robbed and couldn't rob, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and there were many complaints, and Tiancong Khan had to order the withdrawal of the army. The biggest gain of the Jin army in this battle is to demolish the two castles of Da Ling River and Xiao Ling River, which were repaired by the Ming Kingdom, and the Ming Kingdom may have to spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver again, but the loss of Tiancong Khan is even greater, and his face is lost this time, and the battle of Ning Jin, which he personally commanded, has become the laughing stock of Amin and Mang Gurtai.

However, Tiancong Khan also didn't care about his face, he insisted on fighting this battle not only gained nothing, but also consumed the food and property obtained from North Korea, the crisis of the Dajin country finally came, "it is the year, the great hunger, the rice is worth eight taels of silver", Tiancong Khan had to shift his attention to the country, this year the Dajin country is no longer able to launch an expedition. A bad battle that both the Ming and Jin countries fought very badly, but it invisibly helped Chahar Khan, who fled westward, a great favor, and he got time to breathe.
