Nurhachi and Zhubeile said: "I have made up my mind, and I will conquer the Ming Kingdom this year!" ”

It is for the Hou Jin lord Nurhachi to the Ming Dynasty to ask for the text, history said, the Dajin lord Nurhachi with the 'seven hatreds' to raise troops, announced that they would no longer recognize the Ming affiliation, sacrifice to the heavens to cut down the Ming.

Although the promulgation of the 'Seven Hatreds' seems a bit ridiculous, since then, Nurhachi has occupied the commanding heights above morality.

However, using family feud as a slogan, in order to incite deeper contradictions between ethnic groups, in order to seek their own interests, but the damage is the stability of the people in the two places, but they only care about selfish interests, but they use public opinion as a spear to stab the Ming Dynasty, which has long been decaying but is still a behemoth, is undoubtedly a correct decision.

Therefore, Zhu Jian's gold is indispensable here, and public opinion is indispensable!

In the past few days, the backbone of the imperial propaganda led by Song Xiance, the minister of the Propaganda Department of the Ming Imperial Party, after several days of preparation, drafted a text for Zhu Jian.

Emperor Ming Fengtian begged for the Northern Expedition to build a chieftain!

Among them, around the Hou Jin was originally a Ming vassal, and the vast land of Liaodong was originally the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the chief Nurha disregarded the will of heaven in vain, did not want to repay the grace of heaven, openly rebelled, conquered the city, invaded other tribes belonging to the Ming Dynasty, and slaughtered living beings as the core.

First, the so-called since ancient times the emperor in the world, all China in the interior to control Yi Di, Yi Di outside to serve China, unheard of Yi Di in China and control the world, the construction of the chief Nurhachi was originally a Ming vassal, disregarding the road of humanity, blatant betrayal, take more than 70 cities in Liaodong, is not rebellious!

Second, the Liaodong tribes, attached to the Ming Dynasty, was originally a peace and happiness, the chieftain Nurhachi for his own selfish interests, raised troops to plunder, ruined the lives of the people, Haixi, the savage tribes fell one after another, the Ming Dynasty is its suzerain, there should be a reason for its restoration.

3. The chieftain of Jian's capture of the Han people in Liaodong was mostly looted, killed people and set fires, did all kinds of evil, encircled their fields, cut off their way of life, took them as slaves, changed their clothes, and humiliated China too much.

Fourth, the courtiers of the slaves, do not follow the ancestral teachings, abolish the bad program, just like the great virtue of abolishing the long and young, Taiding kills the king with the ministers, and takes the younger brother and the dove brother, as for the younger brother to accept the brother's wife, the son recruits the father and the concubine, and the upper and lower are accustomed to each other, Tian is not strange, and it is very chaotic in the elder and youngest of the father and son, the monarch and the minister.

......

Seventh, the Ming Dynasty sympathized with the heavens, the emperor's grace was vast, for the peace of the people, endured heavy shame, and built an oath with the chief Taiji, and no longer violated each other, but the chief Taiji ignored the oath, repeatedly sent troops to attack and harass the Dongjiang land, broke through the imperial farms many times, burned and looted, when the heavens were angry and people resented!

When the article came out, Zhu Jian took a look at it, but he clapped his hands and said yes, and immediately notified newspapers and publications all over the empire to pay Zizi immediately, so that it could be spread throughout the empire.

If you want to add sin, there should be no excuse!

However, the brutality of benevolence and righteousness has set off a storm of public opinion, which is bound to make the whole empire work together to fight the thief!

......

The text was circulated through the Imperial Party Affairs Newspaper, the Imperial Propaganda Newspaper, and the Imperial Military Newspaper...... After the issuance of Fu Zi and so on, on the third day, the entire Liaodong, Zhili, Sanbian, Central Plains, and even Yungui in the south were all heard.

For a time, the whole empire was excited, especially in Beijing, Liaodong, Shandong and other places, everyone thought about serving the country, and the emperor petitioned and went into battle to kill thieves!

And the new army of the empire is even more asking for battle, wanting to fight a decisive battle with Jiannu and Shengjing City, in order to show the prestige of the empire and repay the shame of the year!

Shanhaiguan, Zhu Jian temporarily traveled.

"Hong Qingjia, you are the Minister of War of the Empire, here you will read out the strategy of the Empire to send troops to recruit Houjin, and then convey the battle order!"

Three days ago, Zhu Jian secretly summoned the Liaodong Army, the Jing Navy, the Trapping Army, the Denglai Sea Division, and other large and small armies at Shanhaiguan to attend a meeting to convene a military conference of the empire to capture Liaodong to discuss the specific strategy of sending troops.

Three days later, after heated discussions, a specific combat order was placed on Zhu Jian's desk, and after Zhu Jian's imperial approval, the Imperial Military Commission filed it in top secret, but it was officially issued.

"This time, the troops were divided into three roads, one of which was led by Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Jiliao, the commander of the Liao Liao, Zhao Shujiao, the general of Jinzhou, Sun Zushou, the general soldier of Jinzhou, and the general soldier of Xuanfu, Man Gui, as the liaison minister, led the Liaodong Army and the cavalry of Xuanfu out of Dalinghe Fort to capture Yizhou and Xiping Fort......

The Western Route Army, led by the Governor of Denglai and the Governor of the Dongjiang River, Yuan Keli, was the commander-in-chief, Huang Long, the commander of the Jing Navy, and Cao Wenzhao, the commander of the Trap Army, were the deputy marshals, and Liu Xingzuo, the commander-in-chief of the Phi Dao Army, led the Jing Navy, the Trap Army and the Denglai Naval Division, all the way from Haizhou to Anshan, all the way to Lianshan Pass, and united with the Denglai Naval Division and the North Korean army to attack the north of the Yalu River.

The East Road Army ......"

When the order was given, at this moment, Zhu Jian got up and walked towards everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this battle is about the rise and fall of the empire for a hundred years, success or failure in this move, everyone, I am with you! May the soldiers of our empire play a triumphant song as soon as possible, and I will wait for the victorious army! ”

"The ministers should do their best to fight for the century-old foundation of the empire, fight the territory, play a triumphant song, and live up to Your Majesty's trust!"

"Good! Ladies and gentlemen, but before this battle, I asked for the three chapters of the law, where is He Tengjiao! ”

"The lower official is here!"

One person was listed here, but it was He Tengjiao, the minister of the military law enforcement department directly under the Imperial Military Commission, and the director of the military court.

The Imperial Military Court was instructed by the emperor, and then more than 40 military generals with real power above the third rank in the empire jointly applied to the emperor, and the emperor handed it over to the imperial military council, the Ministry of the Army, the Ministry of the Navy, and the General Staff Headquarters to jointly agree, and finally approved by the emperor to set up, which can be said to be extremely powerful.

At this moment, hearing what the emperor said, He Tengjiao got up and went out of the ranks, took out the regulations that had been prepared from his sleeve and began to read them.

“...... The order is serious, there is no offense, those who belong to me will always be in China, and those who carry me will run outside the plug. Those who are willing to be subjects should be raised by the people of China, and shall not be killed at will......"

In addition to re-reading the three major disciplines and seven regulations in the imperial army, ordering the armies not to plunder and disturb the people at will, it also expounded the emperor's treatment of the Manchus.

Those who surrender will be treated as Han people, and their tribes will not interfere with, except for the Ming army in important places, their civil affairs and economy will be handed over to the tribe to deal with themselves, if there are those who are bullied at will, kill!

"Everyone, today I will prepare a thin wine for you to see you off, I wish you to come back triumphantly as soon as possible, I will be stationed in Beijing ten miles away, build a suburb of Taiwan, and hundreds of officials will celebrate your achievements!"

......

When everyone went to the banquet, at this moment, Zhu Jian pulled Yang Sichang and Li Yan aside.

"Elder Ge, the Red Courage Army is in the north of Saibei, but it is annoying for you to go on a journey here!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will live up to his mission!"

Hearing that the emperor asked him to go to the Red Courage Army to deliver the decree, Yang Sichang arched his hand.

"Wen is weak, you do things, I have always been at ease, but I still need to be very careful when passing through the vicious place of Saibei here, in order for you to be safe on this trip, I specially ordered Lu Xiangsheng to send a battalion of elite soldiers to accompany you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

And when Yang Sichang left, Zhu Jian was instructed by Li Yan on the side of the entourage.

"Li Yan, this trip to the army, I issued a ban, not to kill Manchurian women, children, old and young at will, I'm afraid that the army is a little puzzled, now I take you as the minister of the imperial party, the ideological work of this soldier, but it depends on you!"
