[The third bullet on the third day of the Lunar New Year! The second volume begins, and the opening volume is this Huang Taiji, whose contribution to the Manchu Qing is seriously underestimated, and it can be seen from his temple number Taizong, okay, don't talk nonsense, continue to roll around and ask for votes! 】

Shenyang, Houjin Khan Palace, Wenhua Palace.

On the lintel of the temple gate, the plaque with the three big characters of "Wenhua Palace" written by the Manchu and Han Dynasty has just been hung for three days; The hall of five zhang long and three zhang wide is very empty, except for the four bookcases and the chairs behind them, there are several rows of embroidered piers in front of the bookcase, and there are almost no decorations in sight.

Behind the bookcase on the far right, sat a big fat man who was seven feet tall and as tall as a mountain, and even if he sat quietly, his breathing could be heard clearly, echoing in the empty hall at night.

He wore a bright yellow burqa, but it was smooth and had no pattern at all; Under the light of the popping candlelight, you can see that he is holding a book in his hand and reading it with relish, and the word "Historical Records" can be vaguely seen on the rolled up cover.

His face was full of fat, so much fat that his shining eyes were squeezed into a slit; Xu is because he is full of fat meat, coupled with a hint of a smile on his lips all the time, which makes him look like a kind Maitreya Buddha; It's just that this Maitreya occasionally frowns, and subconsciously touches the position of the heart on his chest with the hand that is not holding the book, which seems to be very uncomfortable.

This fat man who is suffering from high blood pressure is Aixin Jueluo Huang Taiji.

He is 36 years old this year, the eighth son of the old Khan ** Hachi, one of the four great beylers, and the new Great Khan who has just been on the throne for less than two years!

Huang Taiji was not so fat since he was a child, he only became blessed at a speed visible to the naked eye after the famous Battle of Sarhu, which decided the fate of Liaodong, when he was only 27 years old.

As a general who has followed Lao Khan to the east and west for many years, even if he is fat like this, it will not affect Huang Taiji's outstanding military talent when leading troops into battle.

At the beginning of this year, he also led the Elder Fourteen Dolgon and the Fifteenth Elder Duoduo on an expedition to the Dorot tribe of Chahar, capturing 11,200 men, and perfectly achieving this victory known as the Great Victory of Omurun.

Ao Mulun's victory saved Huang Taiji's precarious sweat position, and he had the leisure to read in the Wenhua Hall at ease in this early summer night.

The crisis of Huang Taiji's throne stemmed from a war with the Ming Dynasty last summer, the Battle of Ningjin.

Huang Taiji, who first ascended the throne of Khan, was eager to show that he was not inferior to the old Khan's military talent, and the other three of the four major Baylors also focused on conquering Ningyuan and capturing Yuan Chonghuan alive, so he avenged the old Khan **Hachi who died in the shelling, so without full preparation, Huang Taiji launched an attack on Jinzhou and Ningyuan, two fortified cities in western Liaoning.

But the elite of Houjin, who has always been invincible, has suffered enough this time, first frustrated by Jinzhou, and has no advance in the siege for 15 days, and his morale is low; then moved to Ningyuan, and the ants attacked the city without defeat, with heavy casualties; After returning to Jinzhou again, the epidemic was rampant in the army, and in order to avoid suffering greater losses, Huang Taiji had to take the class without finding anything.

This defeat greatly questioned Huang Taiji's military ability, and then doubted his ability to lead the Jurchens to develop and grow.

After the Battle of Ningjin, Huang Taiji finally calmed down from the complacency and arrogance of his first ascension to the throne, and carefully examined the advantages and disadvantages of the Jurchens.

Needless to say, the Jurchen's greatest advantage was its strong field combat ability: the simple and fair Eight Banners system made every Jurchen soldier and even the Han Bao Yi brave to fight, and obtained living materials and wealth through combat, which doomed the purpose of the Later Jin War was not only to defeat the enemy, but more importantly to plunder wealth and population - a war like the Battle of Ningjin was absolutely unacceptable.

And the biggest weakness of the Jurchen military is that the siege ability is too poor, especially in the face of a fortified city like Ning Yuan, there is no other way than to fill it with human lives - and the elite Jurchen warriors are precisely what Huang Taiji cannot afford to consume.

In addition to the military weakness, Huang Taiji found that the entire Jurchen also had a fatal weakness: the production capacity was too poor!

Huang Taiji, who has read a lot of Han classics and is deeply influenced by Han thought, certainly knows the truth of "building a country by agriculture and mulberry", but looking at the Jurchen tribes, except for a small number of people in Jianzhou Jurchen, the other two Haixi Jurchens and East China Sea Jurchens all make a living from fishing and hunting.

This leads to the fact that the foundation of the entire Jurchen's survival can only be built on killing and plundering, and once the battle is lost, it may lead to the collapse and extinction of the entire Jurchen!

After sorting out his thoughts, Huang Taiji quickly found the right solution: the short-term goal was to attack the Mongol tribes that had been greatly injured, especially Lin Dan Khan who had fled to the west - although the gains from fighting the Mongols were limited, there would be no shortage of cattle and sheep, and most importantly, there was no need to face the fortified city and deep pool.

Another advantage is that by attacking and subjugating the Mongols, the Jurchens can clear a way to bypass the Ningjin defense line and lead to the rich Central Plains - the so-called nine-sided towns of the Ming Dynasty have long been in vain, and if the Mongols were not too weak, the Golden Family would have been restored to the glory of Kublai Khan.

The long-term goal was to change the old Khan's policy of hostility to the Han people in Liaodong, so that these "two-legged sheep" who were skilled in farming would provide an endless supply of food and weapons for the heroic and warlike Jurchen warriors.

Therefore, since returning to Shenyang last year, Huang Taiji has been under great pressure from the other three major Baylors, and has successively abolished a series of policies of the old Khan against the Han people, and eased the extremely serious Manchu-Han contradictions in the last years of the Mandate of Heaven. (Crab note: The Mandate of Heaven is the year name of **Hachi)

After stabilizing the interior, Huang Taiji personally conquered Mongolia and won the victory of Aomulun, and the captured cattle, sheep and people made many people, including the three major beylers, shut their mouths - his throne was finally much more secure.

In the candlelight, Huang Taiji, who was immersed in the sea of books, raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, because he saw this paragraph: "So Emperor Gao said: 'I am known as the emperor's noble today. (Crab note: This passage is from "Historical Records: The Biography of Liu Jing's Uncle Sun Tong", which is Liu Bang's emotion after his uncle and grandson Tong performed the gift of concession in accordance with Confucian etiquette)

The Emperor's Treasure!

Huang Taiji couldn't help but put down the scroll in his hand, and looked thoughtfully at the three bookcases on the left side that were side by side with his own seat—those were the seats of the other three Bel Dai Shan, Amin, and Mang Gurtai.

The emperor is "I am alone", how can there be a reason to sit side by side with others!

The position of sweat has been solidified, it's time to teach these unruly fellows a lesson!

This is not only about the face of his emperor Taiji Khan, but also about the long-term goal of the Jurchen clan: to let the "two-legged sheep" obediently cultivate and produce for the Jurchen warriors, and books are much more useful than swords.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji slowly stood up, moving his fat body with his hands behind his back and pacing.

Liu Bang has an uncle and grandson, so who will make a ceremony for me and make fun for him, and be my uncle and grandson?

Quickly swept the Han people in the flags, and a name appeared in Huang Taiji's mind: Rather finish me!

I heard that this Han man in Zhenghongqi is proficient in literature and history, and let him try it in the museum.

For the time being, those who dare to offend the Great Khan Tiger should start to rectify it?

Pacing and pacing, Huang Taiji suddenly stopped, his squinted eyes squeezed into a line opened rarely, and his rare gloomy gaze stared at the second bookcase on the left.

That's the seat of the second Bel Amin!
