Emperor Ming Fengyunlu

Volume 1 Liaodong Shock

Chapter 2 The Jackal Tyranny, Burning the Beacon Smoke

Section 8: National Policy for the Ming Dynasty

In the middle of August of the forty-fourth year of Wanli (the first year of the Later Jin Mandate of Heaven), Hetuala.

Emperor Dajin and Wise Khan Nurhachi sat on the dragon chair, Dai Shan, Huang Taiji and other Eight Banner Banners, Fei Yingdong, Eyidu, He Heli, Hu Erhan, Fei Yanggu and other "five ministers" and Yang Guli, Leng Geli and other important ministers sat on the left and right. Other than that, there was no one else in the whole hall.

In the main hall, everyone was silent, sitting on their chairs with solemn expressions, not knowing what they were thinking.

Nurhachi's pair of triangular wolf eyes swept over everyone, and said slowly: "Since the uprising, I have repeatedly defeated strong enemies, from the thirteen pairs of armor when I started the army, to the 100,000 tigers I fought today, and the hardships must be unforgettable. Especially when you encounter a strong enemy or a desperate situation, you and I work together to tide over the difficulties. Every time I think about it, I am especially emotional. ”

"I am willing to die for the Great Khan, and I am willing to be loyal to the Great Gold!"

Nurhachi nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Now, when I opened the state of Dajin, it is the time when the dragon is chanting in Kyushu, and the day when the tiger roars in the mountains and forests. But the Ming Kingdom is strong, and it will not allow me; The heads and ends of the Mongol tribes will not be trusted; North Korea offered Ming Guo and attacked me. There are many crises around my Dajin, do you have a good way to deal with it? ”

Everyone was thinking about the response, only Azig shouted loudly without thinking: "Great Khan, my Dajin warriors are invincible, and I am not afraid of the Ming Kingdom and Mongolia!" Erchen is willing to lead the army and go south to attack Ming! As long as the Ming Kingdom is subdued, as for Mongolia and North Korea, who dares to disagree? ”

Nurha nodded expressionlessly and waved his hand, without words.

Azig was still younger, and when he saw Nurhachi's attitude, he was a little puzzled, and returned to his seat with a puzzled face.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji was amused in his heart, but his face did not show any abnormality, he got up and walked out of the ranks, and said, "What the Great Khan said is extremely true. But Erchen thinks that my Dajin is not only in danger now, but has reached the time of life and death! ”

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and they couldn't help but sigh: "This fourth Belle is so daring!" It's not amazing, and I swear endlessly! ”

Nurhachi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and motioned for Huang Taiji to continue.

"Now, there is a Ming country in the south of my big gold ready to attack, the Mongolian tribes in the west are suspicious, and there is a North Korea in the northeast secretly attacking, and it is in the gap between the three kingdoms, it is the place of the four wars, and this is the place where the tigers are attacked!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard Huang Taiji's words, and they all thought that Nurhachi must be angry. Azig and Mang Gurtai were even more happy in their hearts, waiting to see Huang Taiji's good show. You must know that the current Dajin Kingdom was defeated by Nurhachi, and Huang Taiji actually said to his face that the territory conquered by Wise Khan was a place of death, isn't that looking for death!

But who knew that Nurhachi was not angry, but laughed loudly, and everyone was even more amazed when they saw this, and they only heard Nurhachi say: "Four Belles, you go on." ”

"Huh."

Huang Taiji continued: "It is indeed a fact that my Dajin state affairs are in danger now, but it is not unsolvable. Nowadays, our Daikin has two countries that can be used: first, our Daikin has recently established a country, the people's will is available, and the country is cutting-edge, which is the capital of progress and the foundation of hegemony; Second, my Eight Banners Iron Cavalry with 100,000 armor, brave soldiers, high morale, this is the blade of conquest, the foundation of protecting the country. ”

"I have this and the two countries can take advantage of this time to go south to attack Ming. First, to replace defense with offense to resist the upcoming offensive of the Ming Kingdom; secondly, we can plunder the population and goods, strengthen our national strength, and at the same time slowly weaken the national strength of the Ming State; Thirdly, attacking and defeating the Ming Kingdom, the most powerful of the Three Kingdoms, could effectively deter Mongolia and Korea from acting rashly. ”

"Good!" Nurhachi said, "The idea of the four beyles is in harmony with me. ”

Dai Shan said secretly: "What Huang Taiji said today can be described as seeking life in death, and if one accidentally provokes the Great Khan, it will be self-destructive." Huang Taiji, you are ruthless enough, you made the right bet today! It seems that I am going to watch out for Huang Taiji as an opponent. ”

When everyone present heard Nurhachi's words, their hearts trembled.

Although Jiannu has begun to despise the Han people psychologically, and they have also sent troops to loot all parts of Liaodong, if they really start a full-scale war against the behemoth of the Ming Empire, the Jiannu magnates in the hall are still a little weak in their hearts.

Everyone's demeanor Nurhachi saw it in his eyes, and sneered in his heart: "After defeating the elite of the Ming Kingdom at the beginning of the war and winning the strategic time, there are goods and people for you to plunder." At that time, the last bit of fear in the face of the Ming Kingdom will be gone! ”

Nurhachi stood up and took a few steps forward, and all the ministers of Jiannu hurriedly stood up.

Nurha sank and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, since I have set the policy of going south to attack Ming, then my next national policy of Dajin will be adjusted. ”

This is to formulate a national war policy, and everyone present listened carefully, for fear of missing something.

"Four Baylors, write down everything that will be discussed next." Nurhachi commanded.

"Huh!" Huang Taiji took a pen and paper and prepared to take notes.

Nurhachi said: "Whenever I think of a strategy for attacking the Ming Kingdom, I will meditate and weigh the pros and cons. Today, I have recorded what I think and what I have gained, and you are all my golden think tank and clan, so you should plan for me and fill in the gaps. ”

"The retainer (minion) obeys the order!"

Nurhachi continued: "To start a war against the Ming, we must gather the hearts of the whole clan of our state, the strength of Dajin and the whole country, gather talents, and allocate material resources to achieve twice the result with half the effort. Therefore, I have set the agenda and will share it with you in detail. ”

"First of all, it is said that it is easy to get a thousand troops and it is difficult to find a general, which is exactly the reason. Therefore, I think of a few, one of which is to treat the heroes well: those who fight bravely and make meritorious achievements will be rewarded! Fame, wealth, women, I will not hesitate to reward! ”

Second, reuse talents: political affairs must appoint sages; Regardless of the foundation, it is recommended to see those who are upright in their hearts; Don't be tied to blood, and when you see a talent, you will be promoted to a minister. There are brave men in battle to govern the army; Those who are loyal and good to the government of the country are used to assist the government of the country. ”

"Third, the virtuous and the virtuous are degraded: if there is a way that a kind and just person does not lift or rise, then how can the virtuous advance? If the unscrupulous are not degraded or killed, then how can the unscrupulous be punished? That's exactly what happened. ”

"Fourth, rewards and punishments are clear: merit must be rewarded, and mistakes must be punished, and those who have good deeds, even if they are enemies, do not care, but promote them with merit. If you are guilty, even if you can't kiss them, I will kill them! ”

"Fifth, he shall reward the ministers and generals, and give them horses, oxen, ahabs, grain, clothing, wealth, and wives, according to their needs."

"What do you think?"

"The Great Khan is wise, and the sons (minions) obey the will."

Huang Taiji even exclaimed: "If the Great Khan is like this, then the hearts of the people of Liaodong will be my great gold!" ”

Nurhachi smiled and continued, "In addition, it is the strategy of the Ming. ”

Speaking of this, everyone looked at Nurhachi eagerly, and Huang Taiji's eyes flashed with a cold light, like a vicious wolf waiting to be fed.

Nurhachi said: "Although the Ming Kingdom has decayed, it is still a behemoth compared to my Dajin. Therefore, we must not be reckless and reckless, we must consume the national strength of the Ming State in the war, psychologically hit the momentum of the Ming people, weaken the combat power of the Ming army from the military strength, step by step, and constantly narrow the gap between the strength of the Jin and Ming countries, and finally accumulate enough strength to kill with one blow! ”

"The Great Khan is wise!"

Huang Taiji then echoed: "What the Great Khan said is extremely true, attacking the Ming Kingdom is like cutting down a towering tree, you need to first cut off the branches and leaves, remove its side branches, constantly cut off the main trunk, and finally cut it with an axe!" ”

"Hmmm! Four-Baylor said it well. Nurhachi nodded.

Huang Taiji was complacent, while the rest of the people were expressionless, and Dai Shan glanced at Huang Taiji expressionlessly.

"I thought that from today onwards, we would begin to prepare for the war against the Ming Kingdom." Nurhachi continued: "First, establish my great golden prestige, and those who do not accept the name of my great golden prestige will be killed!" The captors are slaves! ”

"Second, those who surrender are organized into households, and those who surrender are organized into banners and are organized into banners, and those who are organized into banners are not reduced to slaves and do not take their property. The former ministers, the owners of the village, Baylor, and Taiji were awarded official positions according to their original positions, and their former subordinates were compiled as Niu Lu, which were under their jurisdiction. ”

"Third, step up the arrest of Han slaves and collect goods。。。。。。"

Time passed, and Nurhachi and the other members of the Jiannu kept confusing until late at night.

The night sky was full of dark clouds, and there was no trace of the moon or stars. After the deliberations were over, Huang Taiji rode on a horse, constantly recalling the words of his father Khan Nurhachi in his mind, and the matter of attacking the Ming was like a fierce medicine, which stimulated Huang Taiji to be excited, and his heart was stirring: "Ming Kingdom, the once indispensable Han dynasty!" My father finally made up his mind, hoping that day would not come too late. The flowers and rivers of Liaodong will be my golden warriors sooner or later! It's going to be mine! ”

Almost at the same time, the Liaoyang General Military Mansion.

It was late at night, and the study room of the General Soldier's Mansion was still brightly lit. Liu Ling, Liu Zhao, Liu Yunwei's ancestors and grandsons, as well as Yuan Mingxuan, the sentry in charge, were discussing important matters.

Liu Ling looked solemn and asked in a deep voice: "Mingxuan, if the matter is really as you said, then it is serious." ”

Yuan Mingxuan nodded and said, "Old general, I think so too. The wild boar Pinurhachi gathered the eight banner owners together, and it must be to discuss military affairs, what will be the military affairs of Jiannu? ”

"Of course, how did it plague Liaodong." Liu Zhao continued, "However, everyone knows this truth, but we have no way to report it." ”

Liu Ling frowned and said, "Now that the situation in Liaodong is critical, what will the Tartars do that is not conducive to the dynasty when they gather the banner lord at this time?" ”

"Jiannu is about to start a full-scale war against the country." Liu Yunwei said in a deep voice.

"What!" Liu Zhao was taken aback, "Won't it?" Jiannu has such guts? I think it's just a matter of looting. ”

Yuan Mingxuan looked at Liu Yunwei and lowered his head to think about something.

Liu Ling said: "Yunwei, you continue. ”

"If it's just looting, just send a few Niu Lu out to plunder, at most one or two banner masters, why bother to find all the five Jiannu banner masters?"

Yuan Mingxuan nodded and said: "I think so too, that's why I think Jiannu will make a big move, but when it comes to all-out war, it seems to be 。。。。。。 ”

Liu Ting said: "Yunwei, is there any basis for you to say that Jiannu wants to start an all-out war?" ”

Liu Yunwei said: "Grandfather, the wild boar skin has already claimed the founding of the emperor and the country, and it has openly broken with the country, what basis do you need? Nurhachi's convening of the Eight Banners this time should be to prepare for the war. ”

"And how much time do we have left?"

"Of course it won't be now, but it won't be too long. Grandfather, there are some things to hurry up with! ”

Liu Ling paced back and forth, kept thinking, and after a while, he said: "Pass the order, from now on, all the soldiers will immediately reorganize and prepare for battle, and hurry up the preparation of food and ordnance." ”

"Order!"

Liu Ling thought for a while and said, "Zhao'er, give the military department a fold, please transfer the old Sichuan army to Liao." ”

"Father, is this necessary?"

"Do you think that the Liaodong soldiers will be of great use?"

Liu Zhao said: "That's not it, but the words of the old Sichuan Army。。。。。。 ”

"Humph! As long as the old Sichuan army is in hand, the old man can resist Jiannu alone and sweep Liaodong! ”
