When Anguli and his subordinates rushed to Shenyang, in the Shenyang City Khan Palace Museum, the Houjin Khan Huang Taiji was discussing political affairs with the members of the Cultural Palace.

Although Huang Taiji ordered the formal establishment of the Wenguan last year to replace the pen-post style of the irregular personnel during the Nurhachi period, as a staff agency to assist him in handling writing and government affairs, the place where the Wenguan is located is just a small courtyard in the Khan's palace, and it is not an important building.

In this small courtyard, there are five three-door upper rooms on the north side, the largest one in the middle is used as a place for everyone to discuss matters, and the rooms on both sides are the duty rooms of the Jurchen members of the Wenguan.

The two rooms on the far side do not have an open door, and need to be accessed through the side doors of the two rooms, which are used to store archival books.

There are three wings on the east and west sides, and the east wing is used as a warehouse because it is exposed to the west in summer and the cold wind from the northwest in winter. As for the west wing, two rooms were used as duty rooms for Han members, and one was set up as a kitchenette to provide hot water and refreshments to the members of the museum.

Although the facilities of this small courtyard house are relatively simple, since Huang Taiji returned to Shenyang, he spent most of his time in the literary hall, but rarely went to the Ten Kings Pavilion and the Great Yamen to hold court meetings.

On this day at the end of March, Huang Taiji came to the Wenguan early in the morning and gathered the Jurchens such as Bakshi Dahai, Wu Bashi, and Aibali, as well as the deputy general Gao Hongzhong, and the generals Bao Chengxian, Ning Wanme, Fan Wencheng, Ma Guozhu and other Han people.

More than a dozen Jurchen and Han officials stood in the big room in the middle of the main house, carefully looking at the face of Huang Taiji, who was sitting at the top of the middle, and all of them held their breath, lest they would be angered to the point of a cold sweat.

Since Huang Taiji returned to Shenyang from Jizhou, his original generous temperament seems to have changed a little, for example, the Han members of the Wenguan feel that the Great Khan has recently become more severe than in the past, which has made them silent recently, and even the number of daily comments has been significantly reduced.

Huang Taiji sat on the chair and coldly glanced at the officials present, he was really tired of their attitude of not seeking merit but seeking no fault. In his opinion, the current performance of these Manchu and Han clerks is a manifestation of disloyalty.

Compared with those Han officials in the Southern Dynasty who would rather be punished by the emperor than speak their hearts, these Han people around him obviously have a little less backbone and loyalty and filial piety.

However, when he turned his gaze to the faces of Jurchen officials such as Dahai and Wu Bashi, he felt a little less contempt for these Han people who just wanted to protect themselves.

Although the Jurchens such as Dahai and Wu Bashi were loyal to the Later Jin Kingdom, their personal loyalty was not much higher than that of these Han officials. Moreover, the Jurchens have always paid attention to military merits, so there are not many talents who can sit down and study with peace of mind, and there are even fewer talents who can read and do things flexibly.

However, there are many Jurchen scholars, perhaps they are stupid to read, and suggested to him to follow the reform of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, let the Jurchens speak Chinese, use Chinese characters, and wear Hanfu, change all the old customs of the Jurchens, and let the Jurchens be sinicized, so as to win the hearts of the Han people.

There are also some Jurchens, although they still want to preserve their own national customs after studying, but not because they value their own national traditions, but as a symbol to distinguish the status of the Later Jin country.

Their purpose in preserving the tradition was because they felt that in the Later Jin Kingdom, the Jurchens should have a higher status than the Han Chinese. The Han people were to the Jurchens what cattle and horses were to the peasants, and the Han people should work hard to cultivate the land, work hard, and create all the wealth so that the Jurchens, the masters of the Later Jin Kingdom, could enjoy it.

Although the former is stupid, he still knows that it is necessary to win the hearts of the Han people, so that the Later Jin State can survive in Liaodong. And the latter is simply stupid, because he did so in the last years of his life.

However, this repressive policy did not tame the Han Chinese, but instead led to an increasing number of domestic fugitives, forcing the Jurchen nobles to abandon their farmland far from Shenyang and force them to cultivate their own land due to a lack of labor.

Huang Taiji had to face the reality that he needed to rely on the Jurchen and Mongol soldiers to fight the war, and to rely on the Han people to govern the local area and formulate national policies.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji sighed in his heart, and the expression on his face slowly eased. He looked at the crowd and said, "The main reason why I want to gather you here is that I have a few things to discuss with you.

The first thing is that although our army won a small victory in this expedition to the Ming Kingdom, it did not obtain much material, but lost a lot of horses.

And now the number of Mongolian tribes dependent on our country is increasing day by day, and with the current financial resources and materials of our country, it is difficult to provide for so many people.

So I would like to ask you, do you have any good solutions to the problems that our country is facing right now? ”

After listening to Huang Taiji's questioning, most of the Han members in the Wenguan bowed their heads and were silent, only Ning Wan was eager to say something, but he glanced at the several Jurchen officials standing in front of him, and finally suppressed the ** who wanted to show his talents in front of the Great Khan.

Since the establishment of the museum last year, Huang Taiji has divided the officials in the museum into two groups, Dahai and Ganglin are responsible for translating Chinese character books, and Kurtang and Wu Bashi are responsible for annotating the political affairs of the dynasty.

Kurtang is still stranded in the Ming Kingdom and has not returned, and the Wenguan is naturally headed by Dahai. Dahai was one of the few intelligent Jurchens, and at the age of nine he was able to understand the Manchu and Chinese characters. Although he is only 36 years old, he has become the general leader of the museum.

Dahai was on good terms with Kuer, and he tried his best to persuade Huang Taiji to change the Jurchen costume and follow the Han system. Although he is outstanding in learning and eloquence, he is a little helpless on the road to the economy.

He glanced at his Jurchen colleagues around him, and found that they were all dazed and at a loss, so he had to stand up and say to Huang Taiji: "King Khan, the slave thinks that although our country is facing difficulties now, the embarrassing situation has not exceeded when King Khan ascended the throne.

Therefore, as long as we continue to implement the various internal measures issued by the Khan when he ascended the throne, such as telling the princes and nobles to advocate frugality, and not to slaughter cattle and horses for feasts without authorization; Further free the slaves of the banners, and distribute livestock and fields to them, so that they can pay taxes for the production of the country, instead of working for the masters of the banners.

In addition, China's trade with the Ming Dynasty is the most profitable, but because most of them are in the hands of the two red flags and the blue flag, the country does not reap much benefits. As far as the minions know, although our country went to the border of the Ming State last year, the Ming State does not seem to have any intention of interrupting trade with our country, so if the trade with the Ming State can be controlled by the state, then the problem of the Khan's headache can also be solved. ”

Standing beside Dahai, Ganglin, Su Kai, Gu Ermahun, Tuobuqi and others suddenly opened their mouths, and immediately echoed Dahai's opinion. Gu Ermahun, who was naturalized as a Jurchen in Korea, followed Dahai's train of thought and admonished Huang Taiji: "King Khan, the slave thinks that what Lord Dahai said is right, but although China's trade with the Ming Dynasty is profitable, the Ming people must control food and weapons after all.

In the humble opinion of a servant, Japan should still vigorously develop trade with the DPRK. Although the country of Korea is a small country, it is also claimed to have 3,000 miles of rivers and mountains, and although the northern part of Korea is mountainous, there is a lot of plain farmland in the south.

Moreover, the Korean monarchs and ministers are weak, and our country only needs to send a partial division, and the Korean places will hear about it. Therefore, if our country sends an envoy to order him to increase his annual tribute, and to sell grain and * to our country, he will not dare to disobey him. Then the current predicament of food shortage in our country can be greatly alleviated..."

Huang Taiji listened to the suggestions of these Jurchen officials one by one, but he also found the phenomenon of silence of Han officials today, so after a group of Jurchen officials finished speaking, he specially named several Han officials to let them speak.

Ning Wan, who had already been prepared, immediately said to Huang Taiji: "King Khan, the minions think that Dahai and Gu Ermahun have already said in detail, but the minions still have a little shallow opinion, and I ask the Khan King to consider it."

Although the DPRK is weak, with the Donggang town of the Ming Kingdom in its armpit, it is impossible for the DPRK to truly surrender to our country. If I send only one detachment, I will most likely be attacked by Dongjiang Town; If a large army is sent, although it can suppress Donggang Town and dare not attack, when our army withdraws back to the country, North Korea will rebel again.

Therefore, as long as Donggang Town exists, North Korea will not be able to become a reliable rear of our country, and it will not be able to continuously export grain, * and other materials that our country urgently needs to our country.

Our country rises in the land of Liaodong, although there are white mountains and black water as a barrier, but in addition to those unclimate savage tribes in the north, there are Mongolia in the west, Ming in the south, and Korea in the east, which can be said to be attacked on three sides.

The Khan was blessed by heaven, and since his accession to the throne, he first conquered Korea in World War I, and was about a brotherly state. Then Lin Dan Khan was forced to move westward due to the power of the Khan, and Liaodong was all owned by our country from then on. These three-sided enemies have gone all the way and a half.

However, whether it is the Chahar tribe that moved westward, or the Korean kingdom in the east, as long as the Ming kingdom in the south has not fallen, it is impossible for them to give up their hostility with our country. Because the territory of the Ming Kingdom is too vast and the natural resources are too abundant, as long as the Ming Kingdom mobilizes a little bit of strength, the Chahar Department and the Korean Kingdom will have the resources to fight against our country.

After the Chahar Department moved westward, although it allowed our territory to expand to the source of the Liao River, it also meant that the Chahar Department was far away from the threat of our country and won the opportunity to recuperate.

Although Lin Dan Khan is ambitious and talented, he wears the hat of the Mongolian Great Khan after all, and has a righteous reputation for the Mongolian tribes. Now, after he moved west to the Hetao area, he was able to obtain funding from the Ming State nearby, and he only needed a few years to recover his vitality and become the great enemy of our country again.

And if our country wants to mobilize the army to go thousands of miles away to conquer the Chahar Department, it is impossible for Lin Dan Khan not to be heard, and then war or peace will be in the hands of Lin Dan Khan. The labor expedition is not the best policy after all. What's more, with a capricious North Korea behind us, we can't attack easily.

It is a slave who thinks that if you want to make our country stable for a long time, you must make the Ming Kingdom completely abandon the land outside the border and completely surrender to our country. However, in order to do this, it was necessary to unify the Mongol tribes and make the Khan the co-ruler of the Mongols.

In order to unify the Mongol tribes, it was necessary to defeat the Chahar tribes, capture or kill Lin Dan Khan, and first eliminate the heirs of the Mongol Great Khan. However, if we want to send troops to eliminate Lin Dan Khan, we must make North Korea a stable rear of our country and provide our country with all the materials it needs.

And if you want to completely turn Korea into a vassal state of our Houjin, you must pull out the nail of Donggang Town, the Ming Kingdom..."
