Chapter 605: Grain Road

When Nuerhachi heard this, his eyes opened and closed a few times, and he said angrily: "You did the right thing! ”

Zhang Jing nodded in thanks, but Nurhachi ignored him and turned his head and said, "Chuan Kuer is entangled!" ”

A moment later, Kur arrived on horseback, and when Nurhachi saw that he was about to dismount and salute, he waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, I say, you remember, and give it to all places at once." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yes, Great Khan."

Kur agreed, quickly took out the pen and paper from the side of the horse's belly, polished the ink bricks, licked the pen, and waited for Nurha to open his voice.

"I had previously ordered the Zhushen people and the Han people to live together in the same tun, and the grain was eaten together, and the livestock were fed with forage, and the Zhushen people were not allowed to oppress the Han people, but now the Han people in each tun often have escapes, and they poisoned my Zhushen, and in the future, the Zhushen people must not eat the food of the Han people at will, and they need to prevent the Han people from poisoning everywhere in the well, once they find out that the Han people have poisoned them, and their families will punish them."

After Kuer wrapped the pen and finished writing, he looked up at the Great Khan, and when he saw that he did not continue, he sealed it, asked the minister in charge to use the seal, and then sent Tang Ma to pass the order.

When Nurhachi had finished speaking, he ignored nothing else and rode his horse on, and all the people in his entourage hastened to follow.

Huang Taiji felt a little inappropriate in his heart, before, Zhu Shen and the Han people lived together to eat, although there was inevitably oppression, there were also many places where the Ming Dongjiang River was poisoned and the local Han people, but on the whole, everywhere was quite quiet, the Han people were most unwilling to shave their heads, when they just laid down everywhere, the resolute Han people left as soon as possible, and most of the rest were ordinary people who wanted to live a stable life, but after the shaving order, a large number of people left, even if some people were forced to shave their hair, the determination to leave became very resolute.

The Houjin high-level thought that the biggest mistake of Dajin was the same as the Liao State, including the Mongols, who retained the dress and etiquette of the Han people, so that even if these aliens and Han people lived together for a hundred years, they were still like oil insoluble in water, and they were incompatible with each other, and it was difficult to achieve long-term peace and stability and form a joint force.

After shaving the hair, it is to change the Han people's clothing and etiquette, and this layer will never be changed, and there must be no compromise.

However, it is a matter of governance, and Huang Taiji believes that it needs to be slowly plotted, using soft means such as differentiation and co-optation, and cooperating with the killing, and it will take a long time before it can be effective.

Now in the face of some setbacks, Father Khan ordered that it would only make Zhushen and the Han people more antagonistic, living in Tunzhuang, not eating the food of the Han people, no longer plowing and eating together, but only becoming more and more antagonistic to each other, and the hostility could not be dissolved, and the Jurchens would inevitably plunder the wealth of the Han people to support themselves, and the situation would be even more corrupt because of this.

With many hidden worries, Huang Taiji followed the team, and in less than half an hour, the team arrived at the soup pool.

This is the place where the Houjin nobles came to have leisure and pleasure, it was cold outside, but there were quite a lot of hot springs in the house, and each room was bubbling with hot spring water, and the room was boiling hot, very warm.

Nurhachi took off his robe, there were only Azig and Dolgon in his room, the three brothers Duoduo, Nurhachi had more than a dozen sons in his life, and the only one who loved him the most was the three in front of him, it can be said that because the biological mother of these three brothers is now the most favored, it can also be said that the old man loves his young son, and people are always busy with their careers when they are young and strong, and it is difficult to cherish them when they have sons, especially the old slave. Now Nurhachi is over the age of six, because of the dark illness caused by Rong Ma's life, he often feels that his mental and physical strength has declined greatly, whenever this time Nurhachi will become particularly cruel and irritable, only the three young sons in front of him are by his side, Nurhachi's mood will be better, and people will become calmer.

Azig is actually not small, according to the standards of the Jurchens, he is close to adulthood, he has already been given the title of Beizi, according to Nurhachi's plan, two or three years later, Dolgon, five or six years later, Dorgon, his two yellow banners and sixty oxen are also equally divided among the three children, and the future Great Khan, if he can live for another ten or eight years, will choose one of the two children, Duoduo and Dorgon.

When I saw the old Khan soaking in the warm soup, the three little brothers were playing on the side, and Zhu Beile and the ministers all retreated.

Mang Gurtai looked at Huang Taiji and snorted coldly: "Old eight, you won a big prize today." ”

Huang Taiji said with a smile on his face: "I don't think the fifth brother has ever put these dozens of cows in his eyes, but I, as a younger brother, can't disrespect my brother, those fifty cows, turn around and ask someone to send half of them to the fifth brother." ”

Mang Gurtai is just not angry, not that he really has any opinion on Huang Taiji, his slave has lost face, but the eighth child has won the lottery, compared with the two, naturally the mood is not smooth.

Huang Taiji made such a fuss with a smile on his face, Mang Gurtai was a little embarrassed, and waved his hand at the moment and said: "Forget it, I can really accept your cattle." ”

"Be sure to give it." Huang Taiji said very resolutely: "I respect the fifth brother the most, why should you and my brother be so clear." ”

"Okay, then I'll take it." Fifty cattle are only worth a few hundred silver, but now the Houjin place is badly damaged, in the past, their cattle and horses were used to participate in the mutual market trade of Fushun Pass, and the Dongzhu ginseng was exchanged for the reward silver of the Ming Dynasty, as well as grain and cattle, and the Mongols exchanged horses, and now the war horses still have a source, but the source of cattle is broken, plus years of war, the Han people fled in large numbers, and the loss of livestock is not small.

Mang Gurtai is considered to have inherited the love of Huang Taiji, his face turned good, at this time most of the people dispersed, each went to the prescribed house to soak in the hot springs, Houjin has been fighting for decades, originally in Fushun Pass There is nowhere to find such a place, now accompany the old Khan to enjoy, of course, can not delay time needlessly.

Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji brothers went to the hot spring to soak together, both of them had a comfortable look on their faces, Dai Shan was alone in a house, Amin was not in Liaoyang, these two big Baylors were originally qualified to have a room, but Huang Taiji deliberately went to Mang Gurtai to soak together in order to show his closeness.

"Fifth brother, eat some of this white radish when you soak in the soup, and your mouth will be much less bitter."

The two got up after soaking for half an hour, their bodies felt soft, lying on the couch, Huang Taiji asked his coat to bring tea and cut radish, and the two ate together.

"Old eight," Mang Gurtai ate a few slices, then looked at Huang Taiji and said, "Do you have anything you want me to help with?" ”

"The matter of the grain road." Huang Taiji said with a gloomy face: "Can the fifth brother think of it?" ”

Mang Gurtai's eyes flickered for a moment, and he thought, "You mean that the Mongols always harass our grain routes?" ”

"That's just a small problem." Huang Taiji said: "Father Khan left troops in Guangning and Jinzhou, besieging the Thirteen Mountains, but there are only a few thousand people, there are more than 100,000 Ming people on the Thirteen Mountains, I heard that the training of troops is day and night, and often fights with Zhushen stationed on the mountain and under the mountain, from last autumn to now, there are dozens of people killed in the Zhushen war, and more than ten people were killed in the first month of the first month, and I am afraid that the casualties will be more serious in the future." ”

Mang Gurtai also said with some dissatisfaction: "If Father Khan thinks that the Thirteen Mountains don't matter, he might as well withdraw the soldiers and horses, if he thinks it's important, he should send more soldiers and horses to wipe out the Ming soldiers and horses on the mountains in one fell swoop and get back the people." ”

Huang Taiji nodded and said: "What the fifth brother said is true, there are thirteen mountains, and when our grain road passes through Horqin to Liaodong, there will always be the worry of being attacked, which is the most fatal." ”

Mang Gurtai was even more dissatisfied when he heard this, and he said: "What is the matter with you and that Zhang Han, why is he trading with us while helping the Ming Imperial Court to aid the Thirteen Mountains?" ”

Huang Taiji smiled bitterly and said: "Father Khan has not questioned this matter, can't the fifth brother understand?" Zhang Han is also a military attache and businessman of the Ming Kingdom, he does business with us just to make money, there is something in his court, whether it is persecuted by the Ming court, or he is voluntary, helping the Ming State will also get great benefits, how can he not do it? ”

"Blind," Mang Gurtai looked indifferent, patted his leg and said: "I'm too lazy to think about it so much, don't go around the bend, just say something straight." ”

Huang Taiji said: "Father Khan previously sent Fushun to try to contact the Haoqiang on the mountain, and recruit one or two of them, and then cooperate with the inside and outside to break the thirteen mountains, but there has been no progress for several months, I think this method is useless." For the sake of the safety of the grain road, the Thirteen Mountains must be broken, and I think it is better for me to lead the White Flag soldiers and horses to Quang Ninh and break the Thirteen Mountains. ”

Mang Gurtai was a little shocked, and only said after half a ring: "I heard that the soldiers and horses of the Ming Kingdom on the Thirteen Mountains have exceeded 10,000, and this mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so why should the eighth be like this?" Besides, the Ming State sent Sun Chengzong as a strategy, Liaoxi has been very stable, in the past six months, this old man Sun has been training troops in Liaoxi, forming artillery battalions, car battalions, water battalions, training hundreds of thousands, we have to guard against Liaoxi, enterprising Mongolia, I'm afraid that the old eight you want to send troops, Father Khan really allows you to bring this flag soldiers and horses, if there is a setback, I am afraid that you really can't be a great Khan. ”

Nurhachi's governance of the Eight Banners, there has always been a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, even if it is Baylor and the Eight Banners Dutang who do wrong things, they will be punished, but for the middle and lower levels of the Eight Banners, they often use beheading and whipping, or punish their net worth, and most of the Baylor and Dutang are mainly reprimanded, but Huang Taiji is now the most powerful contender for the position of the future Great Khan, and everyone else is half a step behind him. That will definitely affect Huang Taiji's evaluation in the hearts of Nuerhaguo and all the nobles of the Eight Banners, and it will have a great impact on his succession to the throne.

Huang Taiji's strength is the lord of a banner, and the strength of the white flag is not weak, plus Huang Taiji is very valued by the old Khan, and he has made great contributions in the process of the rise of the Jurchens, he is modest and kind, and he is good at making friends with people, not like Mang Gurtai's character is tyrannical and reckless, and he can't get the support of the nobles of the other banners except for the Zhenglan Banner, as for Amin among the four major beylers, he is not the son of Nurhachi, but a nephew, and he is led by the forces left behind after the death of Shuerhaqi, because of this heavy identity, Amin cannot get the support of the whole banner, Not a contender for the throne at all.

Huang Taiji's biggest enemy is Dai Shan, in the last year, he and Mang Gurtai and others joined forces to Yin Dai Shan, they complained to Nur Hachi, saying that Dai Shan and the Great Khan have an ambiguous relationship, I am afraid that there is adultery, and Dai Shan does often come and go with the concubine, the relationship is good, this is actually Dai Shan's deliberate management of the relationship with his father Khan's harem, but under the frame, the traces of ordinary contacts have become obvious evidence.

Furious at this, Nurhachi lost trust in Dai Shan, and repeatedly reprimanded, which was a very disrespectful thing for a big beyle, so Dai Shan took a step back from the leader and was left behind by Huang Taiji.
