In modern time and space, some people have always said that Huang Taiji is actually a modern person who has traveled through the past. The things he did were so weirdly correct that it was hard not to doubt!

That year, when Nurhachi finally fell ill and died. The adult princes of the Later Jin Dynasty each held military power, and in order to compete for the position of the Great Khan, they were preparing to mobilize military horses and prepare for a big fight. As for the fact that Houjin's strength was not strong at that time, they couldn't withstand this kind of internal friction at all, and they couldn't manage it.

Seeing that Houjin is about to fall into large-scale infighting and rapidly decay. At this critical juncture, Huang Taiji suddenly made a move. What kind of strange way did the council and several Baylors take power at the same time? By various means, the crumbling post-Jin regime was integrated again.

In the following 17 years, Huang Taiji showed extremely superb political skills. Settle all the opposition forces within and quickly grow a small tribe migrated from Tunguska to the point of swallowing the world!

Whether it is in politics of all kinds of flexible wrists. Or a quick economic break from the tribal union nature. and militarily to hurt Korea in the east and force Korea to submit. The north side subdued the wild Jurchen, which greatly strengthened its own strength. The west defeated the last Genghis Khan tiger squatting rabbit and completely took the whole of Mongolia into his pocket. There is also the fact that he went south to defeat the Ming Dynasty many times, dragging the entire Ming Empire into the abyss! Huang Taiji, who can be called a generation of heroes, created excellent external conditions for the Manchu Qing Dynasty to enter the customs in the future.

The most bizarre thing is that before Houjin was about to complete his merits and go south to enter the customs, Huang Taiji suddenly fell ill and died without warning. He died a year earlier than Emperor Chongzhen, and when he died, it was perhaps the happiest moment in Zhu Youzhen's life.

No matter how you look at it, Huang Taiji seems to be a professional who came to do good things for the Jurchens, contribute to the cause of the destruction of the Ming Dynasty, and do good deeds without leaving a name. And with the dramatic life of Huang Taiji, there is a name that has to be mentioned, and that is Guan Ningjun.

This army was dominated by Han Chinese from Liaodong. It has been entangled with Houjin for decades. The grievances and grievances between them lasted throughout the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

At the beginning, perhaps the Guan Ning army still had the idea of raising thieves and self-respect, but after the Ming army was almost wiped out in the Battle of Salhu, the Guan Ning army became extremely afraid of the Houjin army. He was especially afraid of field battles with the Houjin army.

During the bloody battle of the Hunhe River that year, this fear of the Guanning army reached its peak. The brave Zhejiang soldiers Qi Jiajun and the Shizhu white pole soldiers killed the Houjin army on the edge of the Hunhe River, which was called a dark sky and a river of blood, and the entire Hunhe River was dyed bright red. After that terrible battle, there was not one Ming army that could escape. And tens of thousands of heavily armed, elite to the teeth of the Guanning army is close at hand, but they have been hiding in the city, watching the friendly troops who came all the way to rescue them outside the pass were completely defeated. Since that battle, Houjin has never taken Guan Ningjun in his eyes again. For Houjin, Liaoxi is a place where you can come and go if you want!

In the years that followed. Guan Ningjun has become synonymous with professional pit teammates. Time and time again, they sent their allies to their rescue into the fire pits. The reputation is also getting more and more stinky. Many battles, many defeats. After many Guan Ning soldiers were captured by Hou Jin, they became so-called clothed minions, that is, slaves. They still had contact with the Guanning Army in western Liaoning, helping their new masters to establish a good relationship with the Guanning Army. The two sides reached a tacit understanding without words.

Later Jin smuggled various urgently needed materials through the Guanning Army in western Liaoning. These include iron, salt, and most importantly, food. And from time to time he went south to march in an armed march to show his presence. Looking at Huang Taiji's future entry routes, he would rather let the Houjin army detour through Mongolia to break through the Great Wall and go deep into the interior. I also no longer go to the very close Liaoning West Corridor. At the same time, Mao Wenlong, who posed the greatest threat to Houjin and was extremely good at guerrilla warfare, and Huang Taiji was helpless to scratch his hair, was also beheaded by the boss of the Guanning Army at that time. Professionally selling teammates, no one can match it for thousands of years.

There is retribution for everything you do! What Guan Ningjun did greatly stimulated everyone who knew. Wait until decades later. When Wu Sangui raised the banner against the Qing Dynasty, they did not receive anyone's help and response. This is of course the evil fruit planted in Liaoxi!

After the war, the Guanning army entered the stage of raising thieves and self-respect. Through the silent tacit agreement with Houjin, he exchanged for the largest state budget of the Ming Dynasty, Liao.

At its peak, it reached tens of millions of taels of silver every year. It's completely a talisman of the Ming Dynasty. In order to be able to pay for this huge military expenditure, the Ming court desperately levy land endowments. Because all other taxes except the land endowment are 'competing with the people!' 'Officials everywhere are against it, so they can only add Tian Fu!

There are some things that everyone understands, and when the expropriation share issued by the imperial court is implemented, it will have to be increased by two or three times. Because there are so many people reaching out in the midst of this. In order to satisfy everyone's wishes, he can only suck blood on the bodies of the honest people of Daming.

The problem is that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, natural disasters were rampant. Where can ordinary people withstand this kind of toss? It was originally at the peak of the Xiaoice Age. All kinds of natural disasters continue to occur. The people who have already begun to eat human flesh are still waiting for the relief of the imperial court, where can they pay any salary? The end result is that the people who really can't survive choose to rise up! The main cause of the large-scale peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty was this liao salary.

The money with blood that was forcibly collected was not used in the battle against Houjin. Such a large sum of money is definitely an astronomical amount in this era! For those greedy ministers and officials of the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing more important for them to target.

Before the silver left the Beijing Division, it had already been put in the hands of all the ministers and officials of the Beijing Division who participated in it, and it was directly lost in three percent. After that, there were local officials, military generals, eunuchs and so on. After layers of looting, very few can really fall into the hands of the front-line sergeants.

Why was Mao Wenlong killed by his own people so abruptly? To a large extent, the reason is that he reported the inside story of Liao to Emperor Chongzhen! At that time, the Liao salary allocated to Dongjiang Town was not enough at all, and it was not enough to feed the soldiers and their families! Of course, Mao Wenlong didn't know the rules, but he and his subordinates were about to starve to death, where could they take care of this?

After reporting this incident to Emperor Chongzhen, he had a slightly better life. But he touched almost everyone's cake, how could others let him go? Even if he has been hiding in Dongjiang Town and can't come out, a positive figure in one of them has taken the means of starving food to force him. Dongjiang Town is the front-line battlefield against Houjin, but it was cut off by his own people! "Pian Fan is not allowed to enter the Dongjiang River! Those who dare to deliver food will be killed. This is a talisman given to him by Mao Wenlong's immediate boss.

Forced into desperation, he could not watch tens of thousands of people starve to death. Mao Wenlong finally took the initiative to throw himself into the net and was beheaded by a Shang Fang sword. Since then, Dongjiang Town, which has been exhausting Houjin all year round, has no longer had a hint of threat. Most of the soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town are Liaodong Han people who have a deep blood feud with the Later Jin. For example, Kong Youde and others and Houjin all have a grudge against each other! These men who went to the sea to fish and collect shells to fill their stomachs arrived at the most difficult time, and in the end, almost all of them surrendered to Houjin. In this era of great importance to fame, even the revenge of killing the father and destroying the door can resolutely abandon the embrace of Houjin. How much of a grievance there is, then the benevolent will see the benevolent and the wise will see the wise.

Since the beginning of Liaoyu, how many people have been living by this matter over the years? Every year, the local government has to put even the normal taxes behind the Liaoyu. What did this Guanning army, which was supported by the financial and material resources of the entire world and the national fortunes of the entire Ming Empire, finally do?

After the last Guanning army lost Jinzhou, it cowered in Shanhaiguan and did not come out of it. Until Li Zicheng attacked Shanhaiguan, Wu Sangui led Qing troops into the customs. Since then, he has surrendered to the great enemy Houjin and has become the eagle dog of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It was not until decades later that Wu Sangui launched the rebellion of the three feudatories, which was finally exterminated. At that time, the Guanning army could be regarded as completely extinguished. Their incompetence and inaction ruined an entire empire.

Last year, after Zu Dashou was besieged in Jinzhou for more than a year, he had to surrender again to the Manchus when he ran out of food. And although Wu Xiang was imprisoned in Beijing, he still became the titular boss of the Guanning Army. And the actual commander of Guan Ning's army was Wu Xiang's son, Wu Sangui.

Zu Dashou is Wu Sangui's uncle, and Wu Xiang is Zu Dashou's brother-in-law. This cost the Ming Dynasty countless money and painstaking efforts, and even the Guanning Iron Cavalry was supported because of the large-scale popular uprising caused by the levy of Liao salaries. It has long been completely turned into the private army of local separatist warlords. The Ming court paid for them to raise soldiers, and they also used the court's money to repay the ministers and officials who spoke for the Liao salary and the Guan Ning army. This is called mutual benefit.

Wu Xiang found Gao Yang again. Not for anything else, just for the sake of this annual salary!

Wu Xiang was looking for the first assistant and the household department before. It's just that these two big guys who are also reaching out in the Liao salary have no way at the moment. The household department has long been poor and cannot afford to raise mice, and this year almost no taxes have been sent to Jingshi. In addition to the great reduction in the control of the imperial court, the Grand Canal, which is the lifeline of the country's southern transportation, was cut off by the rogues, which led to the interruption of Cao Yun.

There is no need to think about silver, at this time the world is in chaos, and there is no tax collection in various places. Even if there are some, they can't send them to Jingshi at all. The local officials tried all kinds of things to intercept the flow of taxes, but no one wanted to send them to Beijing.

Wu Xiang was also very anxious, this was the largest income in the world. I've been used to it for so many years, and if it's gone in the future, I really can't stand it. But he also knew that it was useless to find these two, so he hurried into the palace to face the saint. (To be continued.) )
