Chapter 514: Houjin under the famine, stand up and take risks!
For the many achievements of the Chinese test base in the modern 21st century, Zhu Zilong, who was in the time and space of the Ming Dynasty, naturally did not know. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Just when he inadvertently came to the Mongolian side because of a teleportation error, and mixed in the team of Shatu Plateau as a magic stick, intending to cultivate a puppet pro-Ming Mongolian force and make a comeback.
But I don't know that there have been new changes on the Houjin side.
Because according to the policy formulated by the previous emperor's clone, several prison guards at the border pass were replaced, and the supply of grain and grass became independent once a month to enter the Shanhaiguan to get grain. And much more!
In the big rear of Houjin's side, after letting Zhu Zilong shine for a while last time, the small natural disaster is also affecting Houjin's side.
As a result, Jiannu was already in a grain shortage, and the ridiculously high price of grain suddenly rose to be more expensive than gold, and it was completely priceless, and the people could only cannibalize each other, and the people of all ethnic groups fled seriously.
Huang Taiji, who was sick, couldn't care about recuperating anymore, and hurriedly summoned everyone to come and discuss.
"How long can the army's food and grass last? Is there any hope for the people's food to be collected? Huang Taiji coughed and asked the people below.
Dai Shan has been wanting to make meritorious deeds recently, in order to recover his previous negative influence. hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, the grain and grass in the banner army can only last for three or four months at most." As for the people's grain, in addition to coating, there is still a little grain in the house. The people's homes are basically out of food! ”
"Only three or four months of food and grass in the army?" Huang Taiji's already unsightly face was pulled down all of a sudden. After a long time, he muttered: "It is just past spring, which means that our grain is not ready for the autumn harvest." ”
"Amma, in my opinion, we can only send troops to fight Jinzhou and Ningyuan. Grab the grain and grass of the Ming Dynasty to cross the famine! Hauge suddenly suggested.
Huang Taiji glanced at his eldest son and sighed: "Go to Jinzhou now, it's really killing chickens and taking eggs." There were many people in the court of the barbarians who advocated giving up Jinzhou and not allowing us to have food. It was Yuan Chonghuan, who had an unclear relationship with us, who desperately saved it! If we break through Jinzhou at this time to seize grain, the Ming court will completely give up the granary Jinzhou! ”
"Amma, I understand what you say!" Hauge also sighed and replied, "But our current grain will not last until next year's grain is ripe." If we don't go to Jinzhou to get food, our Eight Banners army may all starve to death! ”
Hearing his son say this, Huang Taiji's cloudy old eyes began to think, and suddenly shot out of the essence again, sat up straight and muttered to Doze and Dorgon on the side, and said, "You know more about Da Ming than others, do you have any clever plans?" ”
Hearing Huang Taiji's words, Duo Ze was silent, and Dolgon secretly scolded Huang Taiji in his heart for an old fox.
Only then did he bow and replied: "Back to the emperor, perhaps, we can order Ning Yuan's Fan Yongdou branch and Huang Yunlong firm, let them restore the food supply at all costs, and if necessary, we can use our hole cards!" ”
After listening to Dolgon's answer, Huang Taiji's eyes looked at him, and after a while, he said, "Old man, we don't have much silver. It is to let them bring food at all costs, what do we use to give money? ”
Huang Taiji's words seemed to be literal, but when he thought about it, there was another layer of subtext.
Who was the biggest traitor in the late Ming Dynasty, some people say it was Wu Sangui, but in fact? Although Wu Sangui is a big traitor, he is a little worse than Fan Yongdou, the head of the Eight Jin Merchants.
According to the "Wanquan County Chronicles" in the Daoguang period, it is recorded: "The eight merchants are all from the right side of the mountain, and they came to Zhangjiakou with trade at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Said: Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Fan Yongdou, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, Huang Yongfa, from the current dynasty Longxing Liaozuo, sent people to the city to change, all of these eight masters. ”
These Jin merchants sold their ancestors and sold large quantities of pig iron, grain, cloth and medicinal herbs to Jiannu through mouths.
If these are the only things, at most he can be said to be shameless, but while selling materials, they also helped Houjin build an intelligence network in the hinterland, and sent a large amount of mountainous terrain and military intelligence out in a steady stream. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are super traitors!
And these people are all Huang Taiji who was single-handedly co-opted before he became the Great Khan, and they are considered his confidants.
Dorgon now proposes to let them bring in all the food they can, even if the target is exposed. It seems to be for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, but in the long run, it is mainly to weaken part of the power of Huang Taiji.
This is impossible for Huang Taiji, who is as smart as Huang Taiji, to be unexpected.
History really doesn't deceive people, and compared with the conspiracy of Huang Taiji, it is obvious that Dolgon is still slightly inferior.
Soon, Huang Taiji's mind turned, and he thought of a blitzkrieg raid on North Korea and robbed North Korea of grain and grass, as well as gold and silver. Then turn back to the plan of using North Korea's gold and silver to pay Fan Yongdou and others for transporting grain, and under the principle of not exposing it, the grain will be transported into the gold in batches.
This crazy plan shocked the Houjin generals on the spot, but after Huang Taiji carefully analyzed, everyone had to praise in their hearts, and sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy.
In the future, if the Jin cavalry ability, if you ignore the grain road, ignore the back road, and blindly just attack with light cavalry, it can be said that any enemy will usher in a round of heavy attacks from Houjin when they have not yet done a good job of defense.
It may be dangerous to do this when facing the Zhu family's army, but in the face of other armies of the Ming Dynasty and the North Korean tofu scum engineering city, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and it will almost certainly succeed!
At this moment, Huang Taiji's eyes lit up and he continued to order:
"We first broke the army into pieces and quietly lurked to Dingliao to assemble, so that the North Korean and Phi Dao barbarians would not notice. When our army is ready, it will suddenly be slaughtered from Dingliao City, without weight. With only a small number of siege weapons, you can only launch a surprise attack directly! ”
"With the speed of our Dajin cavalry, we can force North Korea to surrender to us before the barbarian naval army reinforces Korea, and take Pyongyang and Seoul. Even if we only achieve half of our goal, we can still provide us with much-needed food, grass, and money! ”
"As long as the plan goes well, it only takes twenty days to go back and forth. With the ability of the Shanhaiguan defenders, the possibility of daring to attack is almost none. Even on Lushun's side, there is no big army now, as long as we arrange a team of men and horses to do a deceptive attack and scare them out of defense! ”
After listening to Huang Taiji's plan, Hou Jin's eyes suddenly lit up, although Dolgon secretly disagreed with Huang Taiji, but in the matter of Hou Jin's life and death, he still would not help. It also expresses affirmation!
So, on this windy night, a plan for a surprise attack on North Korea was introduced in the Houjin Palace.
And at the same time!
The Shatu Taiji and his party accompanied by Zhu Zilong were pro-Ming factions, and they finally came to another border area close to the Ming Dynasty, near Zhangjiakou.
Zhangjiakou is a Great Wall fortress in the Ming Dynasty, located in the northwest of Xuanfu Town, close to the throat of Xuanfu to Datong, north to the Mongolian grassland, located between the towering East and West Taiping Mountain, is a very important Great Wall Pass.
However, what makes Zhangjiakou most famous is the foreign trade market in Zhangjiakou that flourishes north of the Jianghuai River.
In the eighth year of Jiajing (1529 AD), Zhang Zhen opened a small gate in the north city wall, called "small north gate", because the door is small as a mouth, and was built by Zhang Zhen, so it is called "Zhangjiakou".
As early as 1551, in the thirtieth year of the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhangjiakou opened the first horse market in the Ming Dynasty for the trade of Mongolian tribes, and the official exchanged materials such as cloth kettles for horses, cattle, sheep and furs abundant in the Mongolian steppe.
Zhangjiakou City, except for the area of Wei County, which belongs to Datong Mansion in Shanxi, all belong to Jingshi (Zhishun Tianfu, Beijing).
In the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty, Muzong Longqing was celebrated, and Zhangjiakou was opened up as a place for the Mongolian and Han markets, allowing private businesses to trade directly with the Mongolian tribes, which laid the foundation for Zhangjiakou's prosperity for hundreds of years.
And in 1613 A.D., in the forty-first year of Wanli of the Great Ming Dynasty, the north side of Zhangjiakou Fort was built to meet the expanding border trade.
Slowly, because of the gradual rise of Jiannu, the border cities in eastern Liaodong were destroyed, and the Jiao'an tribes of the Karaqin and Horqin grasslands were forced to change their trade ports to Zhangjiakou, and the border market trade in Zhangjiakou became more prosperous.
The history books say: Thousands of tents outside the far fort, paving and paving, merchants gathered. A in the world!
"It's a good place, it's the first border trading market in the Ming Dynasty!" Far away, looking at Zhangjiakou, Zhu Zilong began to praise.
