Chapter 839: Careful Calculation
For these banner lords, the Beylers, they actually have a common interest with Mang Gurtai on the issue of confrontation with Huang Taiji, the Great Khan.
Dai Shan said this at this time, of course, he also had his thoughts.
First Amin, and now Mang Gurtai, so after Mang Gurtai, will it be himself?
Dai Shan likes Mingzhe to protect himself, but he is not a fool, and Huang Taiji's previous promotion of Du Du made him wary.
After Dai Shan finished speaking, everyone in the hall looked at Huang Taiji.
And Huang Taiji hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "That's the case, and he is guilty of great disrespect!" Remove the mang-Gurtai the Great Beylor, the lord of Heshubele, and reduce it to the rank of the Beyler, i.e., Dorobelle!
"Win the blue flag, the five bulls, the members and the yellow flag! In addition, with the five cattle under the command of Ang Ala, he guarded the northern border with the red flag!
"Punish the reckless Gurtai pack ten armored carved saddle horses, five armored carved saddle horses and Dai Shan, and one plain saddle horse and Zhu Belle! In addition, a fine of 10,000 taels of silver entered the department! ”
Huang Taiji's punishment of Mang Gurtai can be regarded as a compromise disposition.
In the case of the Jurchen Eight Banners, the pure Jurchen population is not large, especially in the case of the loss of a large number of Jurchen Qiding in the south, the five Niu Lu is not just the ownership of 1,500 Jurchen Qiding, but the ownership of 1,500 Jurchen families.
Fifteen hundred Jurchen families, in this era, meant several times the Jurchen population, and several times or even more than ten generations of clothed Ahan slaves.
Together, the Jurchen population and their slaves numbered more than 20,000.
But it's not really heavy, after all, it's just five Niu Lu who have been confiscated, and five Niu Lu who are inlaid with red flags are lent to them, although the military command is no longer in their hands in the future, but these people and their subordinate slave family property, after all, are still under the Zhenglan flag.
And although Yue Tuo and Mang Gurtai have a deep disagreement, in the final analysis, they are not outsiders, and there is an important link between them.
This bond is Mangguzigeg.
It is true that this Mang Guzi Gege is Mang Guertai's own sister, but at the same time, she is also Yue Tuo's mother-in-law.
Therefore, if you put aside other grievances and grievances, this Mang Gurtai is not only Yue Tuo's uncle, but also Yue Tuo's wife's uncle.
This is also why Huang Taiji wanted to confiscate Mang Gurtai's five cattle records at the same time, and then let him take out five cattle records and lend them to the red flag.
If he was punished with ten Niu Lu, Mang Gurtai might really be angry and fight Huang Taiji.
If Mang Gurtai really wants to take a risk and fight with Huang Taiji, then it will be an extremely unfavorable thing for either Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji saw this more clearly than Mang Gurtai.
Originally, the purpose of cleaning up Manggultai was to strengthen himself while intimidating others, but if he lost both, he would not only laugh and be generous, but also cheapen others, then the gains would outweigh the losses.
Therefore, after Huang Taiji missed the blow, he knew that he might have to make a big move, and he quickly restrained the urge to bring down Mang Gurtai in one fell swoop.
After all, I've been waiting for a few years, and I don't care about waiting for a little longer.
However, if he was only fined five Niu Lu, it would be a small punishment for Mang Gurtai, but it was not enough to break his muscles and bones, and it was not enough to greatly weaken the strength of the Zhenglan Banner.
It is different to confiscate him five and order him to lend five, which can not only achieve the purpose of greatly weakening the strength of Mang Gurtai's Blue Banner, but also allow Mang Gurtai to knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and accept this arrangement.
At the same time, it can also prevent problems before they happen, and once again bury a nail between Yue Tuo and his wife-in-law.
Huang Taiji's careful calculations made under the advice of the strategists around him quickly came to fruition.
Mang Gurtai, who was watching the situation on Fushun's Zhuangzi, was already very anxious when he learned that the Eight Banners in Shenyang City were sitting side by side to discuss politics, and he actually determined so many important matters in his absence, and he knew that he would not return to Shenyang, perhaps he would give Huang Taiji the opportunity to squeeze himself out.
But Mang Gurtai is also an extremely face-saving person, he claimed that his injury had recurred, and he did not dare to go back to Shenyang, but ran to Fushun to "recuperate", at this time he suddenly changed his words, and he had no way to slap himself in the face.
After Huang Taiji discussed with the other Eight Banner Banners, he was charged with disrespect, and a series of punishments were made.
It was also at this critical time that his two sons, Gunbu and Epilon, hurried together to join him and reported to him about the contact between Mangguzigege and the people of Onalla and Deg.
In addition to Ang Arala's clear statement on the spot to support Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji's struggle for the throne, Mang Guzi Gege and Derge Beile all hesitated and did not express their position, and also turned back to persuade Mang Gurtai not to act rashly.
After learning the news, Mang Gurtai weighed it for two days, and finally decided to accept Huang Taiji's punishment, and let Leng Seng Ji put himself on the table to express remorse and admit his guilt.
Not long after, Mang Gurtai led the men and horses he took away, returned to Shenyang from Fushun, and came to kneel outside the Khan's palace to plead guilty and accept punishment.
Huang Taiji did not see him in person, but after making him kneel outside the palace gate for a long time, he sent Ahadan out to deliver a message and said to him:
"From now on, I wish the gods, not to blame the past, but to learn from the future!"
Meaning, even if the past is revealed, I can not pursue it, and the rest depends on your future performance.
After Mang Gurtai pleaded guilty and accepted punishment, although his heart was full of resentment, a crisis of infighting in Houjin was finally temporarily eliminated.
After the Eight Banners Council made a bunch of decisions, several sub-flag guards who gathered in Shenyang left one after another and returned to the defensive areas in various places.
Dolgon continued to return to his city of Gaizhou, and continued to defend Gaizhou, Haizhou, and southern Liaoning and the coastal areas along the Sancha River in the lower reaches of the Liao River.
Zilharang returned to his Zhenjiang fort and continued to lead his army with the blue flag to guard the Yalu River.
Du Du, the new owner of the white flag, left his younger brother Guo Huan to guard the mansion and family business in Shenyang, and then took his third brother Nikan and Huang Taiji's will to go to Xiongyue City, more than 100 miles north of Fuzhou City, to take over the white flag.
And those who were newly appointed to the six departments of the Dajin State, such as Shuoto, Sakhalian, Derge and others, also left the station and began to leave for Shen to take up their posts.
At the same time, Abatai, who was the Han Army's banner Gushan and was appointed as the Ministry of Works, also led Tong Yangxing, Li Yongfang, Bao Chengxian and other traitors, and began to select craftsmen and people familiar with artillery and firearms among the Ming army soldiers and Han people in the Later Jin Kingdom.
In the following period of time, Huang Taiji took more than 1,000 people from the two yellow banners of Ahdan, Ukuri, and Aobai, and selected the guards to go to Hetuala, and wept bitterly in the old city that was burned by fire, in front of the big yamen of the old Khan's palace that was burned into a pile of ruins.
Then I went to the place of Foala, the ancestral tomb of the wild boar skin family, which is the so-called Yongling in later generations, and paid tribute to my ancestors.
It was also in the process of going to Hetuara to pay homage to his ancestors that Huang Taiji decreed that Fei Yangguo, the old slave and young son who was captured and taken away by Shang Kexi, was expelled from the clan and abolished as a concubine.
On the one hand, it is to make Feiyango bear the responsibility for the burning of Hetuala.
On the other hand, it is also to eliminate this hidden danger in advance.
After dealing with this matter, Huang Taiji came to the old slave cemetery located in the eastern suburbs outside Shenyang, that is, the so-called Fuling (Shenyang Dongling) in later generations, and took the guards to set up camp at the foot of the mountain here, fulfill the previous promise, punish himself full of vegetarianism, and prepare to face the wall in front of the old slave's mausoleum, and think about eating fasting and reciting Buddha for 3927 days.
Fortunately, the time Huang Taiji chose was already the end of April and the beginning of May, and the weather at this time had completely warmed up.
