Mang Gurtai gulped down the blessed meat, and like Huang Taiji, he didn't have much resistance to the greasy fatty meat, after all, he was also bitter when he was a teenager, and he has been in a good mood recently...... The Niu Lu who garrisoned Yaozhou was under the banner of Zhenglan, annihilated 800 enemies, obtained 700 sets of armor, 800 good horses, killed a deputy general of the Ming army, a staff general, and a number of garrison divisions, and won a complete victory with few enemies, which also made the Eight Banners see through the roots of the Ming army...... is still as weak and incompetent as before, the so-called cabinet minister university scholar Zhenliao, training forty battalions, the result is like this, there is not much outstanding.

In this ceremony, almost all of them from relatives and nobles to ministers came, and even He Heli came from Haizhou, where he was guarding, at the risk of dying of illness halfway, which shows the importance of this meeting.

After comforting Dord, Nurhachi made the youngest son who loved him the most to stand back, and he looked at everyone, from Daishan to Dordor to Amin to Zilharang, these were his sons and even grandchildren, such as Yueto, Sakhalian, all the brothers who followed him in the old days to fight the world have all withered, and there is no one left to share the wealth with him.

He started the army in his twenties, and now he is nearly seventy years old, and the old man in his sixties is rare in this era, not to mention the barbarian tribe born in the deep mountains and forests, the living and medical conditions are quite bad, and it is rare to live to the age of Nurhachi, not to mention that he has been in the middle of the battle.

No matter how strong his character is, and what kind of good body he has cultivated, Nurhachi is still an old man with white eyebrows, his braids are only a short handful, almost completely white, his eyebrows and beard have also become white, his once tall and straight figure has become rickety, and when he sits cross-legged on the ground, his waist is bowed very much.

There are more than 100 people who participated in the meeting after this sacrifice, at least there are official positions of deputy generals, and the Jurchen official positions at this time have not been restructured by Huang Taiji, in addition to the Eight Banners have the banner lord Baylor and Gushan Ezhen, there are also ministers, judges, and general soldiers to deputy generals and generals guerrilla thousands of general and other official positions, the same as the Liao Town of the Ming Dynasty, but mixed with the Jurchen official positions, it seems to be complicated and complicated.

In the Huang Taiji era, all the official positions of the general army to the thousand generals were changed to the Jurchen official positions, which also straightened out the chaotic official system a lot.

Nurha looked at them and said, "Muharlian, the chief soldier guarding the Three Forks River, sent someone to report that recently, most of the barbarian generals have been patrolling the riverside, and all the cavalrymen are more capable of fighting than those battalions. Borkin, a guard stationed in the Quang Ninh area, sent back a letter saying that the Mongols had been in frequent movements recently, and that the Korqin and Weng Niute divisions had gradually disobeyed the words of the officials we had sent over, and that they had also coveted our grain routes. ”

Nurhaci looked around, and his tone became high-pitched: "Since last year, we have decided that this year we will subdue the Mongol tribes except Lin Dan Khan, and now we have defeated the five Khalkha tribes, and the troops have been pointing to the Lin Dan Khan department, if we continue to use troops against the Mongols, those repeated people will surrender again, and after cleaning up the periphery, next year we can think of a decisive battle with Lin Dan Khan and defeat the Chahars, and our troops can be pointed all the way to Jizhen and Xuanda in the Ming Kingdom, then it will become a great country with a territory of thousands of miles, with the Mongols as its wings, We can really compete with Daming. There is another place, that is, this year to give up the attack on Mongolia, the front turned to Liaoxi, the battle of Liuhe, a glimpse of the Ming army, its forty battalions of soldiers are not worthy of battle, although the armor is strong and the weapons are excellent, its combat power seems to be less than the battle of Salhu and Liaoyang, Shenyang. How to decide, all of you can speak freely. ”

After the old Khan finished speaking, he set his eyes on Dai Shan.

Dai Shan was not excited, and still looked half-awake as if he was asleep.

Nurhachi didn't care about him, and looked at Amin and Mang Gurtai and the others.

Amin didn't speak, Mang Gurtai put down the knife and said loudly: "Father Khan said to fight wherever he wants, and my big golden soldiers will win wherever they fight!" ”

When he said this, a few little brothers shouted together, and Duoduo shouted the most.

The older ones were all smiling, because what Mang Gurtai said was equal to not saying it.

Nurhachi was most looking forward to Huang Taiji speaking, but it was obvious that this Sibeile had also been a little depressed recently. The battle of Taizihe was said to have encountered the advantage of the Ming army and took the initiative to retreat, but later, according to the report of Dolgon and many soldiers in front, the difference in strength between the two sides was not too much, and Huang Taiji had a lot of white armor and guards around him, plus the soldiers and horses he led were also the elite of each Niu Lu, and they actually retreated without a fight, no matter how strong the performance of those Ming troops was at that time, this matter had an impact on Huang Taiji's image and reputation...... In addition, the previous cooperation with Hutchison also made the Eight Banners complain, many people were saying that the massacre of the Han people presided over by Dai Shan was late, and if he had made up his mind to slaughter earlier, Liaodong would not have needed to buy so much grain in the past few years, and how much silver and precious items had been lost in vain. They forgot that the grain they bought was not distributed to the ordinary Liao people, but the eight banners were divided up and down, and the Han army attached to them was rarely distributed, and they were all bought with silver, only when the food shortage was most serious, Nuerhachi allowed the Jurchen Eight Banners to receive grain according to Dingkou, in addition, the various Bel Taiji made a fortune with the grain of Hutchison, and earned more than half of the silver up and down the eight banners back into the pockets of the relatives and nobles. Even with it, he complained to Huang Taiji...... Of course, they didn't dare to complain about the old Khan who made the decision at the beginning, in fact, they just took the opportunity to attribute the dissatisfaction after losing the business opportunity to Huang Taiji.

Seeing the silence, Nurhaci said in a heavy tone: "At the beginning, I was in a predicament, like a fish out of water, it was difficult to breathe, trapped on the sand and stones, and I was still breathing. Later, I finally had this foundation. Think about ancient times, Jin Guo Agu raised an army to invade Liao, the Song Dynasty, and Mongolia, but in the end it was not completed, and his younger brother Wu Qimai inherited his will. The unfinished business of Genghis Khan of Mongolia is also completed by his children and grandchildren, sons, for the sake of your father, I will raise troops and start a business, for you, what should I do, how to continue my great cause, you should put forward your own views like a man who bears it. ”

Dai Shan was forced, bowed down, and said, "My son thinks that he should continue to conquer Mongolia." ”

Nurha Equator: "Why? ”

Dai Shandao: "We have been conquering the Mongolian tribes for the past two years, and we have attacked more than a dozen tribes before and after, and the Mongols in Liaoyang and Shenyang have more than 20 Taiji and three or four thousand people, and they also hold spears and arrows for us, attacking our enemies, and there are nearly 5,000 Mongols who are incorporated into the left and right flanks, and now there are nearly 10,000 Mongolian cavalry under our command, if we continue to attack them, these tribes will provide us with more soldiers in the future." Although the Mongols were not good at fighting, it was because of the lack of military discipline and good weapons and armor, as long as we can solve these problems, the Mongols' combat power is much stronger than that of the Ming army, which is enough to help. Two years of hard work cannot be wasted, but the only way to do this is to continue to invade the Mongols, at least to reconquer those tribes who have rebelled, and to make the tribes along the river and downstream available to us, and then it is not too late to say anything about it. ”

Nuerhachi nodded slightly, looked at Huang Taiji, who was the most important among his growing sons, and said, "What do you think? ”

Huang Taiji felt a little sour in his heart, now that father and son are together is already a pattern of monarchs and ministers, Lao Khan has more doubts about himself, mainly worried that he will target the three brothers of Azig Dolgondor. Thinking back to his youth, the old Khan was also very fond of himself, and the name of Houjin was also based on the Mongolian style, and many elder brothers' names were Mongolian, and the name of Huang Taiji was actually Huang Taiji, which had the same name as Altan Khan's eldest son, which also showed that Nurhachi had high hopes for this son at that time, and Huang Taiji never lived up to the favor of his father Khan.

In the past two years, due to the old Khan's love for the three Duoduo brothers, these adult sons have been more or less vigilant and guarded, which makes Huang Taiji feel sad.

On the other hand, Nurhachi now regrets the introduction of the trade route, although the grain route has not been cut off...... The food shortage from last winter to this spring is particularly serious, and the grain of Hutchison comes in about 30,000 stone a month, and all of these grains have been distributed by the public to the Niu Lu, of course, they can only be given to the armored soldiers of the Niu Lu, the Jurchen whole clan has nearly 200,000 people, plus tens of thousands of Mongols and the attached daughters, the people in the forest, the number of people to support is quite large, and Nur Hachi can only give a part of it for free to the Jurchen armored family, and then put a part of it on the market, try to stabilize the price of grain, and more people can only let their life and death be ignored. It's not that Nurhachi doesn't want to buy more grain, but the price of Hutchison's food has also increased as the food shortage has worsened, and after the miscellaneous trade stopped, Hutchison's food price has become less warm and warm, but to the point where Nurhachi's heart is beating and quite angry. This feeling of being controlled by others made Nurhachi quite angry and uneasy, and he was also quite helpless about Hutchison cutting off a large amount of food supply, and he was even more shocked by the large amount of silver he mastered.

In order to maintain the grain route, of course, but also to deter Mongolia and guard against the Ming army on the front line of Jinzhou, thousands of soldiers and horses had to be stationed in the Thirteen Mountains for a long time, which was an additional expense and had become a heavy burden.

At this time, the national strength of Houjin was quite weak, and sending thousands of people to maintain food and surround the Thirteen Mountains was equivalent to inserting a knife in the originally weak national strength, which was a sharp blade that made Houjin bleed. If Da Ming was a weak giant, Hou Jin was supposed to be a cunning and ferocious dwarf, with a strong and energetic body, but after a steady stream of food and blood transfusions, this dwarf became weak instead.
