He Yusheng's people were not in a hurry, they just persuaded them with kind words and brought those family members who were reluctant to leave on board. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The ship was soon full of people, and Yusheng's ships in the south could only be regarded as ordinary, not to mention European countries, even in Fujian, Guangzhou, and Pinghu, there were many ships larger than He Yusheng's ships, but here in Liaodong, only the Liaozhen Naval Division of the imperial court had some big ships, which were still much smaller than the ships in front of them.

The flotilla of more than a dozen large ships also put a lot of pressure on the people on Phi Island, especially when people saw the guns on the hull as they looked when the ships turned around.

This kind of cannon, the people of Dongjiang Town also recognize it as the Hongyi cannon that the imperial court values the most, and they don't understand why there is a ship with Yusheng?

This kind of cannon is also a well-deserved heavy weapon in the imperial court, and now there is only this kind of artillery in Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan, and there is no one in Dongjiang Town.

When Mao Wenlong saw the artillery, he couldn't help but hold his breath and feel shocked.

It will be a long time for the personnel to get on the ship, but Mao Wenlong can't stand it anymore, he glanced at the guns on the ship a few more times, shook his head and said, "Let's go." ”

Mao Chenglu's face was also full of shock, and he said: "Father, do you want to discuss with Zhang Dongzhu, let's exchange some of these artillery?" ”

Mao Wenlong thought for a while and said: "I know this artillery, the artillery crew must have more than ten experienced gunners, it is difficult to operate the gun, and it costs a lot of silver to maintain it. ”

Mao Chenglu wanted to persuade again, but Mao Wenlong said resolutely: "There is no need for this cannon for the time being, wait until we have the silver." ”

Mao Wenlong sighed, and thought in his heart: Fortunately, he and Yusheng are aiming to be in the South China Sea, otherwise not only will Dongyu have many strong opponents, but the town will also be difficult to sleep!

……

The sky is very dark, when it rains in the area of Phi Dao, there are also snowfalls of different sizes in Liaoyang and other places, some places have a lot of snowfall, and some places although the snow is not large, but the weather is still very cold.

Since October of the second year of the Apocalypse, Nurhachi and all the people around him have found that this year's disasters have not only not lessened, but have worsened compared to previous years.

It was still extremely dry, with no precipitation, and from October to the end of the year, there was almost no rain. The harvest in various places was very limited, and the yield was greatly reduced, although it was not a complete harvest, but it was too far from the harvest expected by the Jurchen aristocracy.

In this way, although the Han people who had seized Liaodong and Liaonan and had more than three million people under their rule, the national strength of the Jurchen State did not increase, on the contrary, it fell into a quagmire.

At the end of the year, he ordered a large number of bannermen to settle in the villages of the Han people, turning many civilian villages into the official villages of the Eight Banners or the private property of various banner owners, and turning the free people into slaves, that is, the clothed slaves of the Jurchen nobles, using this method to pass on the crisis, but even so, the situation of food shortage in various places has not changed at all, not only the Han people are starving, but the ordinary bannermen and lower-level officials are also struggling with food and clothing.

On the tenth day of the first month of the third year of the Apocalypse, the troubled Nuerhachi went to Qianshan Tangquan to escape the cold surrounded by Zhubeile, Beizi, Brother, as well as the ministers of the capital hall and the general soldiers.

There are nearly 1,000 people in the brigade, which is also a lot of pomp and circumstance in the Houjin country at this time, Nuer Hachi was raised in Li Chengliang's mansion when he was a teenager, admiring Li Chengliang's majesty and pomp, and now he is already a dying old man, but the memory of his youth is very deep, and he is the great Khan of a country, of course, he is as big as possible, but he is not satisfied with the Khan Palace rebuilt by the Ming Dynasty in Liaoyang City, but now there is no abundant material and national strength to support the construction of the Khan Palace, plus the location of Liaoyang is southern, The next strategic point of the Houjin State is to expand the territory of the Houjin State as much as possible to Mongolia in the north, and change the strategic posture that is now being attacked by Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty, but now there is Dongjiang Town, although there is no major war in the second year of the Apocalypse, the harassment of the Dongjiang Army is also a headache for Nuerhachi, especially the endless poisoning incidents, which make the old slave angry.

Nurhachi rode a red sand red horse, which was a very tall, articulate horse, a good horse, even though he was now over the age of six, Nurhachi still liked to ride a powerful horse, and was not worried that his riding skills could not be controlled.

Beside him were a few little brothers, and a few brothers were laughing, trying to please his father Khan.

The guards Huerhan and others led the guards of the two yellow flags to escort the left and right, and then there was the big bailer who followed him on horseback with his attendants, several foreheads, and each small bailer, and after them, there were the ministers in charge of the eight banners, the chief military officer and other henchmen and ministers that Nurhaci liked.

After the ministers, there were some courtiers who were favored by the Great Khan, and their status was not necessarily high, but it was a great honor in themselves to be called into the ranks and go to the soup pool.

Qianshan Tangquan is not too far from Liaoyang, everyone arrived after walking in the ice and snow for less than two days, and everyone felt relieved to see the hot air coming from the soup pool and the rows of houses that had been built.

In the distance there was a cavalry with a small flag on his back galloping, and Nurhachi was the most important in the army, and he was the first to stop the horse, so the people stopped their horses and waited for the arrival of the pond horse.

"I've seen the Great Khan." Tangma dismounted far away, knelt down, saluted and said loudly: "On the third day of the first month, the Mongols stole grain on the west side of Guangning, and the judge Baqishan drove them away, shot three people, captured two of them, and captured their two hundred cattle, leaving fifty to prepare for reclamation after the spring, and the remaining one hundred and fifty heads were rushed over and presented to the Great Khan. ”

Nurhachi was very happy when he heard this, and said: "Baqishan has always been steady and resolute in his work, and he does not have to be polite to the Mongols who steal grain, so it is very good to deal with it." ”

He waited quietly for a while, and sure enough, he saw a large number of cattle on the horizon being driven over, Nurhachi nodded very happily, and said: "I heard that a lot of cattle died a few years ago, and there were many people among the Han people who fled after stealing and killing the cultivated cattle. ”

The Baylors and the ministers hurried forward and congratulated the Great Khan.

Nurhachi smiled and received congratulations, and after half a ring, he said: "The white flag alone has fifty cows, and the remaining one hundred are divided equally among the flags." ”

Everyone looked at Huang Taiji, and sure enough, this Sibeile was more and more favored by the Great Khan, Baqi Mountain was a person with a white flag, and it was just a trivial matter to get fifty cows, but it could be seen from the Great Khan's attitude towards Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji hurriedly dismounted and knelt in front of the Great Khan's horse to thank his father Khan for his gift.

Nurhachi didn't say much, but said: "The grain road is important, and some things will be discussed when we get to the soup pool." ”

The crowd continued on their way, and as they passed a Zhuangzi, Nurha looked inward with empty eyes.

There were several houses near the roadside where the chimneys were smoking, and it was noon, and it was time to eat, but there was silence in the village, and there were few smokers, and the snow was piling up on the road in front of the village houses, and there was no trace of anyone walking at all, and no one was cleaning.

Nurhachi pondered: "Huerhan, send someone in to have a look, and call the person in charge of this Zhuangzi." ”

Huerhan did not dare to slack off, and personally led people in, and a moment later, a Niu Lu Zhangjing in an arrow robe ran out quickly, knelt down on the side of the road, and pressed his hands on the dry yellow weeds that were frozen and snowy.

Nurha Chi shook his head and asked, "What's the matter with you here, how many banners are there, which banner does it belong to, and why is there no one in the village?" ”

Niu Lu Zhang Jing replied tremblingly: "Back to the Great Khan, the slave is under the Zhenglan flag, the master of this Niu Lu is Dahai, and the slave is ordered to take this Niu Lu ten households to live in this village." ”

"Are these ten households still there?"

"Back to the Great Khan, I went to three households, all of whom were men in the family who died in the battles of Guangning and Liaoyang, and the rest could not survive and went to other Niulu to join their relatives."

Nuerhachi snorted, knowing that since last year, a large number of Jurchen Eight Banners have lived in the core areas of the Jurchens such as Foala to Hetuala, and after seizing Liaodong and other places, a large number of places need to be garrisoned, and the Houjin State is also determined to completely absorb and digest these territories, and the Eight Banners families who moved out of their homeland were placed in the Han places centered on Liaoyang and Shenyang, so that they could live in Han villages, on the one hand, because they could eat for food, which could reduce the pressure on the Eight Banners Gongzhong, and on the other hand, of course, surveillance.

As for the families of the bannermen who died in the war, although they are strictly not allowed, there are still some who return, and once the families under this kind of banner lose a man who can fight, they will immediately be restricted to poverty, and in order to reduce the burden, these women and children will also be allowed to join relatives and friends.

The general cattle record, the big one is more than two yellow flags, one cattle record 300 households is just an ideal state, only two yellow flags have a lot of full 300 households of cattle records, and even 400 large cattle records, the general cattle records are only 2560 households, and even after a big war, the number of households will drop a lot, the smallest cattle records may only be 200 households, or even less than that.

The number of cattle in Zhenglanqi is already small, and the loss of some households is actually a big loss of strength.

"Damn dog minion, what are you doing?" The banner master of the Blue Banner, Mang Gurtai, did not dare to do anything excessive in front of the Great Khan, but Tie Qing scolded with a blue face, and that Niu Lu Zhangjing trembled in fright.

"What about Hermes-Epitek?" Nurhachi glanced back at Manggultai and warned, "I think this man is still competent, don't punish him." ”

"Han-Min......" Niu Lu Zhangjing said: "Han-Min originally had more than 50 households, but from the spring of last year to the end of the year, more than 20 families fled, and the rest were all killed by the slaves before the year. ”

"Why?"

"Poison." Niu Lu Zhangjing said with a look of resentment: "The Great Khan ordered the grace, the slaves did not dare to embarrass them, there were once bannermen who raped women or beat men, they were stopped by the slaves, and they also whipped the slaves who violated the ban, but these Han people have no gratitude, last year they poisoned the food that the slaves were eating, poisoned many people, and then simply poisoned a few wells, and now the wells are still closed, and they dare not use it." ”
