Chapter 375: Situation
(Recommended reading: Lu Hanqiang did not follow Qi Fei's position and seized all the time to rush back, at this time, he was sitting firmly under the lamplight, reading the official documents exchanged from various places.
Because of his own running around, the family letter has been cut off for a long time, and I don't know what happened to my mother and Ruyu, the thoughts about my mother and my younger siblings, and the thoughts of Ruyu as long as I have free time, like a tide, I want to write a letter to my mother and Ruyu, but look at the cases piled up on the desk like a mountain, I can only give up, "It won't be too long, as long as we win this battle, then I can take the time to go home, anyway, I have to supervise the teacher to return to Beijing, and I will meet the wild boar skin Huang Taiji." ”
The first one is to look at the information of the king who caught up with the commercial bank at one stop.
This time, the information of the king was even worse, and all the performances proved that the Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty had completed the unification of the Mongolian tribes, and the barrier north of the Ming Dynasty had been completely opened to the Emperor Taiji.
In fact, after the fall of Mongolia, Jin is still a good thing done by the ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, to say that the Mongolian tribes have always chosen the border team, they have wisely chosen the Ming Dynasty, one is that their ancestors have been afraid of the Ming Dynasty for generations, and the other is how to see the Jurchen to fight against the vast Ming Dynasty in the land of projectiles, which is a bit immeasurable, especially this Jurchen, has never had a firm intention of founding the country, as long as he wins a battle with the Ming Dynasty, he will apply to the Ming Dynasty for peace with the aftermath of the victory.
However, everything is bad for a group of pedantic literati, Wei Zhongxian of the Ming Dynasty at that time was a ruthless man, he promised to the Mongolian tribes, everything to cut off the head of a Houjin person, whether old or young, rewarded with an iron pot, two catties of tea bricks, or five taels of silver.
This is a rich, relative to the poor Mongols, that is an outrageous reward, so everyone has nothing to do to run after the Jin territory to cut off people's heads, at the beginning of the individual action, and then the whole team attacked, and finally the Mongolian princes and khans led the team to participate, a year down, cut the head of the hundreds of thousands of Guanning army to ask for merit much more, and the Ming paid less than the reward to Guanning.
Wei Zhongxian is a kind person, this calculation is cost-effective, so, after checking the head sent by each Mongolian, he gave the promised reward without deception, and occasionally outside the iron pot, and then partnered with a rice spoon, you see how many people Wei Zhongxian will do business, and the result is that the Mongolians continue to harvest the iron pot rice spoon with a roar.
But the kind-hearted Wei Zhongxian died, and Donglin really came to power, so Donglin claimed to be a gentleman, and he wanted to pay attention to the thoughts of the saint and the inner king, so he didn't pay much attention to the matter of changing the head of the iron pot, not only did not care, but according to the teachings of the saint, this thing of exterminating humanity should be completely cut off, if it wasn't for Lu Hanqiang being sideways, it would have been cut off at the beginning, and as soon as Lu Hanqiang came out of Beijing, they immediately got up unscrupulously and resolutely and decisively broke off the deal, because in their opinion, with this despicable It is unjust, inhumane, and inconsistent with the way of forgiveness of saints to treat Houjin in a way that does not conform to the teachings of the saints.
And the iron pot to the Mongols was originally a capital enemy, if you spare someone a rice spoon, it is the enemy of the capital enemy, and it is absolutely impossible, so Ren Lu Hanqiang wrote a letter thousands of miles to analyze and justify, after all, the whip is beyond reach, Chongzhen is a changeable character, and finally the deal fell through.
And something even worse happened, Yuan Chonghuan saw that there was no hope of recovering Liao in five years, and began to quietly make peace with Houjin, in his opinion, whether it is by force or negotiation, as long as Houjin can be lowered and naturalized, then he will be regarded as having fulfilled his promise.
Originally, this matter was very secret, but in Yuan Chonghuan's case, he had a pig-like teammate, and this teammate's big mouth was bigger than him, so in addition to the imperial court, everyone all over the world knew about it, and the result was that after Huang Taiji took out iron evidence and showed it to the Mongolian tribes, the Mongolians completely lost confidence in helping the Ming Dynasty resist Jin.
In fact, this happened at the beginning, in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, after the Liaodong Metropolitan Government made peace with Hou Jin Yi for the first time, the news came out, and the assassination of Mongolia immediately formed an alliance with Hou Jin. In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Yan Mingtai swore not to negotiate peace with the Later Jin, and the Karaqin Mongols made an alliance with the Later Jin. Seeing that the Karaqin Mongols had been wandering between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin, in the first year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty rewarded the Karaqin Mongols and the Chahar Mongols with a total of 360,000 taels of silver to stimulate them to go to war with the Later Jin.
However, the Chahar Mongols and the Karaqin Mongols attacked each other, and the Ming were helpless against them. The Karaqin Mongols asked the Ming to mediate several times, but the Ming were always reluctant to anger the Chahar Mongols, because they also hoped that the Chahar would go to attack the Houjin.
In the first month of the second year of Chongzhen, Yuan Chonghuan's righteousness this time made the Karaqin Mongols and Kazakh Mongols who were completely disappointed in the future once again allied with Huang Taiji.
Among them, the Karaqin Mongols defected to the Jindi footsteps the fastest, to the end of February of the second year of Chongzhen, the Karaqin Mongols have been divided into flags, and the Houjin quickly completed the work of the incorporation of the land, in addition to the Manchurian Eight Banners and set up the Mongolian Eight Banners. Soon, the Ming court's fiefdom "Shunyi King" Bu lost his rabbit and defected to Houjin, and the Mongolian Eight Banners already had two flags.
In the second year of Chongzhen, there was a great famine outside the Saiwai, and the Mongolian ministries asked the Ming Dynasty to open the border market to sell rice. The Karaqin Mongols, that is, the Eight Banners of the Later Jindi Mongols, also made similar demands, and all the dynasties thought that they could not sell rice to the Later Jindi army.
Yuan Chonghuan first asked Chongzhen for 700,000 taels of silver in the local currency, Chongzhen said that he did not have so much money, because the sea tax, mining tax and other industrial and commercial taxes have been stopped, and the tea tax has also been greatly reduced, as for this year's salt tax has not been collected. Now the maintenance of the military salary in Beijing also relies on the shares of Lu Hanqiang's "Daming News", where is the money to give Yuan Chonghuan again? Yuan Chonghuan did not follow, saying that if he did not issue domestic currency, Guan Ningjun would be at risk of mutiny.
This statement infuriated Wen Tiren, the actual head of the current cabinet, since Chongzhen stopped the industrial and commercial taxes, the border armies of Ningxia and Xuanda, which used to rely on domestic currency support, have lost their sources of military salaries. Wen Tiren argued: Pingliang Town owes 700,000 taels of military salaries, Xi'an owes 800,000 taels of military salaries, and the Qin army does not mutiny; Yansui owed 1.5 million taels of military salaries, and the soldiers had not been paid military salaries for 27 July, but the three sides did not mutiny; The defenders along the Yanmen line were in arrears for twenty-seven months, and there was no food supply for ten months, so they relied on the families of the soldiers to beg for food and not mutiny, and the Xuanda army had not been paid for thirteen months, of which Xuanzhen had even stopped military rations for five months, and the Xuanda army still relied on borrowing money from merchants to survive without mutiny; Guan Ningjun took seventy percent of the country's financial revenue, and they want to mutiny! Why is this?
Look at how righteous and powerful this reason is.
yes, why is that? Why don't you pay money?
