Chapter 148: Old Khan
Zhang Han originally thought that he was familiar with the general trend of history, and the Qing Dynasty's unification of China was inevitable, although the Qing Dynasty lost power and humiliated the country, and the early Qing Dynasty was bloody and massacred, but after all, it gave China two hundred years of stability and prosperity, and the Qing Dynasty rulers were not extremely vicious, such as the Mongols divided people into four classes, and the kitchen knives were shared by several families, making the people unhappy, Kangxi and Qianlong were still known as the prosperous times, and what the people wanted was nothing more than a stable life, and the population was also greatly increased, so even if he carried a traitor hat now, he recognized it in order to make a fortune and enjoy the happiness of his descendantsBut being in the whirlpool of history, watching everything happen and ignoring one's own origin and national feelings, this is really a difficult thing to do.
Even if the Ming Dynasty is not lightly ill, and the bureaucrats make the people miserable, but Zhang Han seems to be very suspicious all the way that these barbarian tribes can get the world, what good care can the people get?
Are the Han Chinese who fled outside the walls living well? Zhang Han didn't think so, from that Horqin village to Banshengdi, he saw a lot of blood, tears and suffering, there were more under the vast ice and snow in Liaodong, he didn't go to the direction of Fushun Pass and Qinghe Fort, where there were corpses everywhere, when the Jurchens broke these two passes, they slaughtered a large number of residents in the city, plundered sturdy men and women and a lot of property, some people may say that this is the only way for the unification of the dynasty, but when he was in it, when Zhang Han felt that he was one of the people who were damaged and oppressed, His feelings only got worse.
"Chang Wei, we're just businessmen." Zhang Han was silent for a long time before he said: "There are some things that we can't change, we can only adapt to them, and try to make ourselves and our families better, and we have nothing else to do." ”
"Brother Han, I see." Chang Wei smiled, strode out, and carried the unloaded goods under the horses with the people.
……
Huang Taiji did not go back to his residence, nor did he go to the Zhengbaqi Yamen to sit in the yamen, he and Kurtang rushed directly to the Khan palace to ask to see his father Khan.
The guards of the Zhenghuang Banner told Huang Taiji that the Great Khan had gone hunting with his three little brothers.
At this time, according to the Jurchen customs, there is no hunting, fishing is everywhere in the first month or close to the first month, in February, the sea holly is released to hunt geese, in April and May to hunt elk, in June and July, not to hunt, after August, to hunt tigers, leopards, black bears and other big prey, until the end of the year again large-scale fishing. conAd1();
Of course, these things are not static, such as the same in June, the same deer and roe deer in autumn, and the rabbit can be beaten from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, but it is generally winter fishing and spring birding, and wild animals are left in late spring to late autumn to fight, when the prey is fat, meaty, and the skin is good.
More time, people will farm the land, gather the horses of each family together to find a place with abundant water and grass to graze, or in the dense forest to pick ginseng and collect dried fruits such as pine nuts, Nuerhachi often stayed in the depths of the dense forest for half a year when he was young, drank spring water, starved dried fruits, picked in one season enough to exchange for a large amount of grain or silver harvest, in the horse market to stop trading with the border merchants of the Ming Kingdom, most of the wealth of the Later Jin Jianzhou Wei Department was obtained in this way.
The edict of the Ming Dynasty is extremely important compared to each Jurchen tribe, without the edict, there is no way to pay tribute and the horse market, the Nuerha Chifa family does not rely on any thirteen pairs of relics, but the thirty edicts given to him by Li Chengliang, relying on this he has integrated many small tribes, people Ding Yue
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) the more you come, the more you occupy the territory, and the more and more wealth you accumulate with tribute and the horse market.
The Khan Palace is actually a collection of several sets of courtyards, but there is a big house for political purposes, until the Houjin conquered Liaoyang and Shenyang, Nuerhachi did not have a Daxing Palace, changed Shenyang to Shengjing, and overhauled the palace is still in the hands of Huang Taiji, and now Houjin is still poor and white, even the Khan King has no extra financial resources to enjoy.
Huang Taiji sat and waited, thinking about the matter at hand, there were many people coming and going in the Khan's palace, Xifu and Erdeni were working here, Kurtang and these people would meet together to discuss things, the first-class minister Feiyangu was also sitting in the room, he came to Nurhachi to report some matters of the left-wing banners, Fei Yingdong was in charge of the affairs of the left-wing banners, and there were many things at hand.
He Heli sat in another room, and he had more things on hand.
The interior of the Eight Banners is also intertwined, there are many mountains, but they are in the rising period, coupled with the strength of Nuer Hachi and his relatives, these originally very powerful ministers have been basically suppressed, He Heli was originally the minister of the Dong E Department, and there were many more Dingkou in the clan when he surrendered to Nuer Hachi than the Jianzhou Department, Nuer Hachi went from two banners to four banners, He Heli was the head of the Red Flag, and later divided into eight banners, this person was assigned to the Red Flag under the control of Dai Shan, fortunately, he was named one of the five ministers, and he still held heavy power in his hands, Ordinary Gushan Ezhen still has to obey the orders of the five ministers, and even the power of the five ministers is sometimes greater than that of the banner master. conAd2();
After sitting for half an hour, the sound of people talking and laughing came from the courtyard.
Huang Taiji jumped up, and the guards behind him hurriedly followed out.
Nurhachi, wearing a azure warm hat, had just dismounted from his horse, and a group of guards surrounded the old man.
The hat drooped down with a short gray braid, even when he was young, the braid could not be long, and now Nurhachi is already in the age of the sixtieth year, and the old body still contains vitality, but the braid has become very thin.
Nuerhachi is very big, when he dismounts, you can see that his hands and arms are still very powerful, the tiger's mouth is covered with calluses, when he was young, he fought in all directions, crusaded against one tribe after another, large or small, it took more than 30 years to annex the Yan Department and the Changbai Mountain tribes, and then attacked the Haixi Four Divisions, and finally he completed the dream of all the ancestors of the Jianzhou Department for hundreds of years, he unified all the Jurchen tribes together, first the left and right guards of the Jianzhou headquarters, then built a banner, and then two flags, Then came four flags, and in the end he made all the dingkou into eight flags.
The number of cattle records of each flag is different, for example, there are more than 60 cattle records in the two yellow flags, and the smallest inlaid white flag is only fifteen cattle records, and the number of Ding mouths is also different, some cattle records have 400 people or even more, and some cattle records only have 200 people, or even less, but in general, the entire Eight Banners have more than 60,000 bannermen registered in the flag, and have nearly 30,000 armored people army, this strength is unimaginable to Wang Gao back then, and the strength of the strength also promotes the expansion of ambitions, at least for the time being, Nurhachi's ambition had swelled to the point where he began to covet the fertile lands and countless dingkou within the Ming border walls.
Despite his age and gray braids, Nurhachi's movements were still very swift, and when he was young, he was known for his strength and bravery, and at this time he still gave people the feeling of being powerful, and he was dressed in a yellow coat with an ornament on his head
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) warm hat, with a leather belt around his waist, long boots on his feet, and a foot bow on his back, compared with Nurhachi's original hard bow, this bow and arrow is the most commonly used ten forces of the Eight Banners Soldiers' hard bow, compared to his youth, Nurhachi's arm strength is still a lot lower. conAd3();
"I've seen Khan Amma!"
Because Huang Taiji had returned from a long journey, he did not seem to have been in Hetuara as usual, he stepped forward, knelt down and lay at Nurhachi's feet, and stretched out two other hands to hug Nurhachi's right leg.
Nurhaci first marched, and then a smile appeared on his face, he stroked Huang Taiji's back, slowly hugged Huang Taiji's waist with both hands, and slowly helped the son up.
This is the Jurchen hug ceremony of the juniors or subordinates to the elders, when the two of them met, many people also poured out of the front yard of the Khan's palace, and the attachés of the Emperor Taiji knelt down to the Great Khan, and Nurhaci raised his hand and signaled them to get up.
"What a good harvest from today's hunting."
Nurhachi was in high spirits, he pointed to a fat elk, and said with a smile: "It is said that this weather is difficult to see, and it is also tired to see, but this one is still very good, I can't help but shoot it." ”
The elk has already been in estrus, and it is difficult to replenish it when it begins to consume purely in winter, and it begins to lose weight sharply, but this one shot by Nuerha Chi is really good, and the belly is still round and very fat, Huang Taiji hurriedly stepped forward and began to sigh and admire the bloody deer corpse.
The people who went out to hunt together successively untied the prey, an elk, and a dozen grouses, dozens of rabbits, rabbits are the best prey in the forest, hunting dogs are startled and run around, and when they panic, they will crash under the tip of the arrow, basically this thing is for Jurchen children to practice.
The three brothers who were giggling on the side were obviously satisfied with the rabbit, Azig was seven years old this year, he was already tall, and his face was always a face that was not commensurate with his age, this kid already liked to whip people with a leather whip, and began to learn to drink, of course, Azig was also a good son of Nurhachi, he was only seven years old and could ride like a fly, and shoot the fleeing hare on the horse effortlessly, judging from the string of grouses and hares he carried, this kid's hunting results were more than full marks.
Nurhachi had already handed over fifteen oxen to Azig, and the two Yellow Banners had hundreds of the most elite Swing Tooth Rakyou by his side, acting as the Great Khan's pro-army, and this force was undoubtedly the strongest of the Eight Banners.
Dolgon is six years old, Duoduo is five years old, these three brothers are now Nurhachi's favorite sons, and the rest of the sons are clear in their hearts, the Jurchens, like the Mongols, also have a tradition of passing on the family business to their younger sons, and the two yellow banners of the Great Khan have already had fifteen oxen to Azig, and the other thirty Oxen must have been divided equally between Duoduo and Dolgon, and the Great Khan Duoban will also leave his pro-army to Duoduo, the youngest and most favored son-in-law.
Duoduo was boasting about his gains, he was more favored and arrogant than Azig, but in fact, because of his young age or lack of concentration, he was nowhere near as good as Azig.
When Nurhachi heard his youngest son's words, he walked over and smiled and encouraged him for a while.
Dolgon was very well-behaved, and he also stepped forward to pester Nurhachi, and the Great Khan had to put aside all his affairs and go to the back house with his three sons.
