Chapter 47: Those Things in the Seven Years of Chongzhen 2
Why did Huang Taiji cause his own Jurchen tribe to complain?
Because at the beginning of the year, Huang Taiji issued a decree.
That's about the funeral system.
How barbaric Houjin is, the self-martyrdom system can peek into one or two.
When a man dies, a woman must be buried with him, and then the living must be buried alive in a coffin, suffocated, starved, and suffocated.
Burying a living person alive is more cruel than killing.
In the past, the funeral system was uncertain, but it is good to say that in the Jurchen tribe, it is good to find a woman to be buried when a man dies.
So the Jurchens pressed this cruel system on the Han people.
entered the customs and plundered the people and the original people of Liaodong.
Then every man married a Han woman as a concubine at will, and when he was buried, he became a Han woman to accompany the funeral.
For the Han people, the state of etiquette, how have they ever seen such a barbaric and cruel funeral system.
The Han people could not bear it, and the slave exploitation of the Han people by the Later Jin Dynasty, a large number of Han people could not bear it anymore and began to flee south.
This is also one of the reasons why Huang Taiji issued a decree to standardize the funeral system.
The flight of a large number of Han people to the south was a great disaster for the Jurchens who were not engaged in farming, with no one to plough the land, barren fields, and a shortage of food.
In order to appease the Han people, Huang Taiji began to reform the system in all aspects, which was already a favor, while selecting and appeasing Han officials from the south, while standardizing the funeral system.
There is only one sentence in the norm of the funeral system, that is, after the death of a Jurchen man, he must be buried in the main room, such as forcing the concubine to accompany the burial, the main room to show the law, and confiscate the property.
Although the Jurchens are barbarians, in order to hide the shame in their hearts, they have always forcibly forced themselves to be the strongest tribe in the world.
But in this way, the Jurchens all felt the cruelty of the funeral system, and completely pressed on themselves.
In this way, although Huang Taiji tried his best to buy the hearts of the Han people, he provoked the Jurchens themselves to be dissatisfied, not because the people in the country were in turmoil, and although Amin was cleaned up, there was also a Sanbeile Mang Gurtai who kept stirring up trouble.
Huang Taiji's life was difficult.
While appeasing the hearts of the Jurchen tribes, he accumulated energy and prepared to go to Shanxi.
However, among the Jurchen Eight Banners, the most powerful Zhenghuang Banner and the three brothers of the Yellow Banner, Azig, Dolgon, and Duoduo, one was divided into the hands of Tangxidong, Shanxi, and the other was defeated and retreated under his troops, and the troops were defeated.
Huang Taiji has a fear of Tang Xidong, and before he has yet to fight, he will hear the fear of timidity.
It is impossible to send troops at will, because there are few soldiers who cannot fight, and the defense is unstable when there are many soldiers.
Huang Taiji also needs to spend a lot of time and experience to prepare for the army.
Huang Taiji's thoughts, Tang Xidong didn't know.
But even if he knew, he would laugh, and letting Houjin target him was really providential to help him, because eliminating Houjin was his greatest goal and demon.
When the other party comes to the door, he can take the opportunity to consume the strength of the Jurchen.
The power of a province against the power of a country.
Tang Xidong wanted to see if he could fight back.
But obviously, the current Tang Xidong doesn't know whether he wants to ignore it, and he only wants to govern the land of Shanxi.

And between the Shaanxi anti-army and the Ming Dynasty.
The war that has been scorching for a long time is still pulling north and south in the whole territory of Henan.
After the winter, the Ming army's offensive gradually subsided, and there was a complete truce at the end of the year.
The two sides now occupy their own cities, and they are fighting for the gains and losses of one city and one land.
Chen Qiyu's strategy was generally feasible, at least breaking the strategic weakness of the previous Ming army fighting separately and dividing troops differently.
The rebels were trapped in a province, and Sichuan and Huguang were finally protected from the plundering of the Shaanxi rebels and were at peace.
However, although the Shaanxi rebels trapped in Henan were compressed, they did not lose much in personnel, and after the Ming army massacred a large number of old and weak people, it helped the rebels to retain their elite and aroused the anti-army's spirit of resistance.
Today, 500,000 rebel troops, fifteen families and seventy-two battalions, are hoarding in Henan, and they are forced into one force by the attack of the Ming army.
Relying on the strength of the five provinces, it is really difficult for the elite of the more than 200,000 Ming army to have a clear advantage against the 500,000 anti-army.
In addition, among the rebels, a large number of Ming deserters have now been collected, and the strength of the rebels has been enhanced.
The size of the old artillery is nearly a hundred.
The four largest strands are Wang Jiayin, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, followed by Cao Cao Luo Rucai, Lao Huihui, Zuo Jin Wang, Ge Li Eye, Shooting the Heavens, Reincarnated King, Hengtian King, Mixed 100,000, Shuntian King, Nine Dragons, and Guotianxing.
Wang Ziyong died in battle, but Wang Jiayin was alive and well.
History began to change.
The biggest strength is Wang Jiayin, but unfortunately this person is really lacking in talent, although he loves the army, he is hesitant and arbitrary.
Li Zicheng broke away from his uncle Gao Yingxiang, and now he can be regarded as leading an army by himself, but his strength is not small, the number is not large, and there are many elites.
After the rebels entered Sichuan and Huguang, they plundered a large number of human resources, began to focus on the absorption of scholars, and began to have a clear system of rules and regulations for the implementation of internal government decrees and the division of official positions within the rebels.
On the side of the Ming army, Chen Qiyu supervised the Ming army in five provinces, and Lu Xiang, the original daimyo mansion, was promoted to the governor of Yunyang to assist Chen Qiyu in governing the army and transferring the army.
Hong Chengchou restarted the formation of the Shaanxi Anti-Army, and the governor of Gansu has always ordered the army to sit in the town and attack from the southeast of Shaanxi with Hong Chengchou.
Among them, there is a well-known figure in later generations who also showed his talents, and that is Sun Tingfang.
And the original father and son of the Cao family in Liaodong were forgotten by Emperor Chongzhen and did not take care of it.
However, Hong Chengchou knew that the Cao family's father and son were strong, so they ordered the two to take orders under the tent and fight against the vanguard of the anti-army.
Chongzhen for seven years.
After Emperor Chongzhen got the jade seal of the country, his confidence in his heart was greatly expanded, and after the military strength of the five provinces, he added another province, that is, the Shandong Ming army led by Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong.
Shandong was previously rebellious by Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, but after the defeat and surrender of the two last year, the Shandong rebellion was lifted, and the Shandong army was liberated.
The forces of the six provinces fought against the rebels.
Emperor Chongzhen was determined to go all out and eliminate the rebels so that the civil strife would stop.
Zhongxing was able to see the first glimmer of morning light.
In the seventh year of Chongzhen, spring began in March.
After a long winter of repairs, it was time to redeploy troops and reinforcements.
The Ming army began to carry out an unprecedented and vigorous encirclement and suppression of the rebels.
The land of Henan once again stirred up bursts of wolf smoke.
Human life is becoming less and less valuable here.
After the first month of the March War.
The Ming army achieved great results.
The rebel army gradually lost to the Ming army.
The war began to move to the point of a showdown.
In April, Shaanxi rebels gathered from Yiyang, Henan.
Fifteen families discussed the situation of the war.
At this time, the Ming army attacked from the south of Henan and from the north, and the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ming army blocked the border with Shaanxi.
Fifteen families discussed, decided to go north, gather the strength of 500,000 people, return to their hometown Shaanxi, avoid most of the Ming army, and return to Shaanxi as a buffer.
In April, the great battle between the rebels and the Ming army, after a long battle, began to move towards the end of a stage.
