When the sun rose to the green glazed tile roof of the Dugong Palace, Huang Taiji and the other three Baylors and the five great scholars all arrived one after another. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Therefore, at this moment, in the Dugong Hall of the Shenyang Khan Palace, there is such a group of people sitting, all of them look ugly and funny, like a monkey crown, but one by one they have the majesty of a prince and minister, which is really a bit nondescript.

But obviously, the guards in helmets and armor inside and outside the Dugong Hall have long been accustomed to it, and they are serious and tight.

It is said that several princes and ministers in the palace are ugly and funny, not because of the ugliness of these people, but because many of them look like dogs, they are quite like that, that is, they have small eyes, high cheekbones, and black and yellow teeth.

They are called ugly and funny simply because their heads are ridiculously shaped, all of them are shaved, leaving only a small patch of hair at the top of their heads, braided into a pigtail the thickness of a rat's tail, hanging alone behind their heads or ears.

Now it is the end of summer, and the men in Shenyang City, and even the men in the Jin Kingdom are all the same ugly shapes, which is the most popular and fashionable money rat tail in the Jin Kingdom in this era.

In the Later Jin Kingdom of this era, all men were like this, except for a very small number of newly surrendered Han officials and Han generals, who only left a piece of hair the size of a copper coin on the top of their heads, braided into the shape of a rat's tail, and the braided pigtails had to pass through the small hole in the middle of the copper coins before they could be qualified, otherwise they would have to bear the risk of being killed and robbed of their homes if they did not abide by Jurchen customs.

The money rat tail of this era is very different from the common Qing court dramas in later generations, as well as the big braid yin and yang head after the late Qing Dynasty.

It is also sad to say, even the outrageously ugly braided yin and yang hairstyle in later generations is still the countless Han people under the Manchu Qing Dynasty who risked their lives, and after more than 200 years of development, they gradually won the head shape approved by the Manchu court.

It is conceivable how ugly the most traditional and purest post-Jin Jurchen money rat tail shape should be.

Once you look at this money rat tail, the descendants of Yan and Huang in later generations will be able to fully understand why the Jiangnan Han people after 1644 AD would rather die against the Qing Dynasty than shave their hair and accept such a head shape.

Now that Huang Taiji, who has secured the throne of Khan, no longer wants to sit in the south side of the other three Baylors.

Now the situation in the Dugong Hall is like this, although Huang Taiji and the other three Baylors are still almost sitting side by side, but Huang Taiji's chair is deliberately thoughtful, not only a little lower than the other three Baylors, but also a lot higher, although the four people sit side by side on the surface, but in fact it still highlights Huang Taiji's status.

In addition, Huang Taiji, who is now thirty-six, is tall and fat, and he sits in a modified position, which is even more conspicuous.

In front of Huang Taiji and the other three Baylors, there are two rows of seats on the left and right, in a figure-eight shape, which is reserved for the other four small Baylors and the five major Baylors.

Because he didn't want Derge, Zilharang, Abatai, Azig and others to participate in the core affairs, Huang Taiji easily did not let the four little beylers who were sealed by these old slaves before their deaths participate in the deliberations of the Dugong Palace.

In today's Khan Palace, in addition to Huang Taiji, there are the other three Baylors among the original four Baylors, as well as the other five Great Baylors.

Seeing that all the people who should come had arrived, Huang Taiji cleared his throat and said in Manchu: "Since May, Horqin Taiji Zhaisang first sent a messenger to report, saying that the Karaqin Department not only rejected my Dajin's appeasement, but also united with the Ming Dynasty border army to kill the Ao Han Department Taiji Gunchuk and Horqin Zhai Sangtaiji's eldest son Wu Keshan who went to contact the appeasement and ask for revenge;

"Later, I sent an envoy to ask my Dajin to send the Eight Banners army to the banks of the Narit River, to ally with the Eastern Mongolian tribes, and to conquer Karaqin for the Ao Han and Horqin tribes.

"However, last year, from spring to autumn, I Dajin went east to Korea, west to Lin Dan, during which I also fought a big war with the Ming Dynasty under the city of Jinzhou.

"Now that I have recuperated after a year, the elite of the Eight Banners is better than last year, and the weather is refreshing now, which is a good time to send troops to fight. Today, I have summoned all the Belle Scholars to discuss the direction of my Dajin's next attack. Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about it. ”

As soon as Huang Taiji's words fell, Amin first said: "What's there to talk about!" In the spring of last year, the army conquered North Korea, and encountered the obstruction of the Dongjiang troops in Tieshan, and my Eight Banners suffered a lot of losses. ”

After Amin finished speaking, Mang Gurtai took over and said: "Erbeile, in my opinion, your proposal to conquer the Dongjiang River now is probably not to avenge my Eight Banners, but to be ashamed of yourself!" Hahahaha......"

After Mang Gultai said this, he was not afraid that Amin would be unhappy, and immediately burst out laughing.

In the spring of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Hwang Tae-gil, who had just ascended the throne, was anxious to establish his authority, so he proposed that his troops divide the route to conquer Korea.

After the other armies entered Korea, they soon conquered Pyongyang and Seoul, and the Korean king Yi Cong fled all the way to Ganghwa Island, and was finally forced to sign an alliance under the city, known as the "Ganghwa Island Treaty".

It was in this treaty that Joseon promised to pay tribute to Houjin from now on, and to give Houjin a large amount of gold, silver, grain, grass and horses every year.

However, under the general situation of the great victory of the Houjin army, only the Amin all the way to the Jin army, when conquering Zhenjiang, Dingzhou, Tieshan and other places at the mouth of the Yalu River, was strongly resisted by the Ming army of Dongjiang Town, and the two sides fought dozens of battles, killing and wounding each other, which can be regarded as the most serious casualties of the Houjin army in the years of the expedition to the east and west.

Amin lost face and couldn't hold his head up in the Houjin army from then on. In the end, after the surrender of Korea, in order to boost morale, he still plundered Korea and returned.

Therefore, it is not entirely unreasonable for Mang Gurtai to say this.

After Mang Gultai finished speaking, Amin glared at him angrily, and just wanted to speak, this time Shi Shan suddenly said: "I think Erbeile's words are reasonable. Although Karaqin refused to surrender, its troops were small in number, their troops were not strong, and they were far away from our Dajin, so they did not pose a threat to our Dajin.

"Besides, now that most of the Eastern Mongolian tribes have returned, although Burhatu does not know how to lift up, but he is just a Karaqin, excerpts and replacements, and he can't set off much of a storm. On the other hand, Mao Wenlong's department on Phi Island is the trouble of my golden heart.

"Fourth brother, you often read the books of the Han people of the Southern Dynasty, haven't you heard the allusion that the side of the couch does not allow others to snore?! Now this Dongjiang Town is on the side of my Dajin's couch! If I don't get rid of it, there will never be peace in my big gold. ”

Dai Shan's words actually hit Huang Taiji's mind. But he didn't say anything, especially Dai Shan's fourth brother, which made him quite unhappy in his heart.

Dai Shan's voice fell, and Amin said again: "What Big Belle said is extremely true! I agree with Big Baylor! ”

After Amin finished speaking, Huang Taiji still did not speak, and the palace fell silent.

After a while, the ministers who were sitting at the head of Dai Shan also said: "Qi Great Khan, the servants think that what Great Belle said is very reasonable. Now that Lin Dan Khan is fleeing westward, Khalkha is moving north, and the Eastern Mongolian tribes are like a mass of scattered sand, and the larger ones such as Horqin, Ao Han, Naiman and other departments have all returned to my Dajin. Just one Karaqin is really not a cause for concern. ”

After Eyi finished speaking, several other ministers also expressed their support for what Dai Shan and Amin said, among which Fei Yingdong also said: "Qi Yu Great Khan, the slaves think that if I Dajin wants to conquer the Southern Dynasty in the future, I must conquer Mongolia, and if I want to conquer Mongolia, I must ensure that I have no worries about the future." Now that North Korea has surrendered, only Mao Wenlong's department in Dongjiang Town still refuses to submit. If it is not removed, the rear will be unstable, and even if it is determined to conquer Karaqin in the west, it will need to wait until after the destruction of Mao Wenlong of the Dongjiang River. ”

Although Huang Taiji looked down on his elder brothers very much, he still respected the ministers of the old slave Nurhachi very much.

Therefore, after hearing what several of the Ben Ban said, his mind also settled down and said, "Since several of the Baylor Ban have said so. Then I have made up my mind, and in September, the army will conquer the Dongjiang River, wait for the destruction of Mao Wenlong's department, and then return to the west to conquer Karaqin. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Taiji looked at the people in the palace again, and then said: "As for the commander of the expedition to the Dongjiang River, I think I will let Erbeile Amin lead the army." The Han people have a saying, called shame is almost brave. I hope that Erbeile can level the Dongjiang River and be ashamed. ”

After Huang Taiji said this, Hu Erhan, who was sitting at the bottom of the right, suddenly said: "Qi Great Khan, during the period of my Dajin conquest of the Dongjiang River, in order to prevent the Ming army from attacking and disturbing the direction of Jinzhou, why don't you order Horqin, Ao Han and other departments to form a coalition army and go to conquer Karaqin, one can contain the Ming army in western Liao, stabilize the back road of our army, and the other can consume the strength of the Eastern Mongolian tribes. ”

After listening to Hu Erhan's words, Huang Taiji immediately stroked his beard, laughed, and said: "Hu Erhan is really worthy of being a wise man of my Dajin!" This is exactly what I want. You can send someone to deliver a letter to Jaisang, and say that I have agreed to his proposal to unite with the Eastern Mongolian tribes to discuss Karaqin, and that those who go to Horqin to deliver the letter should also bring a batch of money, food, and ordnance to Korqin. ”

The deliberations in the Dugong Palace, this is the end, a total of two agreed, one is to lead the army by Amin to conquer the Dongjiang Mao Wenlong Department, the other is to send Horqin a batch of grain and grass ordnance, by which he came forward to unite the Eastern Mongolian tribes, in September, the crusade against Karaqin, for the Horqin Taiji Zhaisang eldest son Wu Keshan and Ao Han Taiji Gunchuk revenge.
