Chapter 112: Do Good Deeds
Huang Taiji walked slowly to the middle of the hall, turned around with his hands behind his back, he asked Yue Tuo Zir Harang and other irons to play first, and no one jumped out to strongly oppose under the observation, and the momentum had been created, and he came out to make a decision at this time.
He looked at the ministers present next to each other, and said lightly: "Now that Chahan has escaped, I need to attack Dajin, Liaoxi, Liaonan, and Dongjiang, or maybe break through to attack somewhere in the Ming Kingdom, but whether it is to attack Liaoxi, Dongjiang or Breached, the people and horses of Dengzhen in southern Liaoning will come in a big way, as Yue Tuo said, last time I could hold Fuzhou, but I may not be able to hold it again and again, both to defend Fuzhou, to cover the state and deploy heavy troops?" Once Fuzhou is lost, it will be covered overnight, the Jinzhou cavalry has exceeded 2,000, and the infantry army is especially capable of fighting, how many soldiers should I leave at home to deal with it? If Gaizhou can't be defended, then what about the land in Liaozhong. ”
"I waited for the army to attack Ming, and the sky bounded me in the east of Liao, and the Ming Kingdom regarded me as an enemy. We should know that this is a matter that cannot be suspended, and that our country and the Ming Kingdom are a life-and-death struggle, and this should be undoubted. I conquer a big country with a small country, and I cut down a tree with an axe, and first remove its branches, and then its tree will fall by itself, so that every year there will be a place to go to war, and I cannot allow the Ming country to be relieved. However, Nikan, the town of Lushun, Jinzhou, has damaged the prestige of our army several times. This year, Ying Erdai went to Korea to collect grain, and there was no minister in the Li Dynasty to contact him, and all over Xuanchuan in Tieshan, Dongjiang Town, swaggered through the market, and the local officials of the Li Dynasty indulged in it. The island of the Dongjiang River took advantage of the new momentum, and the arrogance rose up in the chaos, although it was daylight, he dared to enter the inland for hundreds of miles. This is the result of the defeat of Mijima. Today, North Korea treats me Dajin like this, let me wait for Dengzhou Town to wreak havoc in southern Liaoning, how will the foreign vassal Mongolia treat me Dajin in the future? ”
The hall was silent, and Huang Taiji's voice was sonorous and powerful, with a majesty of its own, compared to the roar of Mang Gurtai. There is another sense of calmness.
"Since that Chen Xinjin occupied Lushun Jinzhou, Fuzhou has not lived a day, its light cavalry guerrillas crisscross between Fujin, ambushes, mine cannons, poisoning, ghost arrows, crossbows, killing cattle, everything is done, my vest pursues its scouts, and is repeatedly ambushed by it, our army pursues and suppresses, and it will be far away. At this age alone, I was stationed in Fuzhou and lost more than 200 people. The Han army and Aha more than 700, burned more than 300 grain cattle and carriages, and the north of Fuzhou was full of rumors, if there was no army on the side, no one dared to go out of the fort to farm. Balipu and Motapu were attacked continuously, so that there was no cattle to cultivate. ”
Huang Taiji turned slowly, his eyes were bright, and he glanced at the Houjin nobles in front of him one by one, "This is still when my army is at home, and it is already arrogant. ”
"Is it tolerable or unbearable!" Huang Taiji's voice rose sharply, and the roar echoed through the hall. The ministers were slightly startled and looked at this Houjin Khan carefully.
Huang Taiji's voice continued to sound, "Some people say that the grain and grass are not enough, and one stone of grain is three taels and five dollars. It's expensive, what if it's compared to eight taels of rice? Today there is still grain to be bought and sold, and in previous years there was even more shortage of grain, so no war was allowed? Everyone wants to go to Liaoxi. I want to go to the entrance, but there are people in western Liaoning who can grab food. I want to ask, the battle of Sarhu is also a plunder? The battle of the Hunhe River was also a plunder? If you don't destroy Chen Xin in southern Liaoning, you have to travel far away. On its cunning and hateful, not under the dragon, on its combat power is far superior to the dragon, if the dragon is compared to the fox, then today's soldiers of Jinzhou can be called jackals. When Chen Xin was only 2,000 soldiers and horses in the third year of Tiancong, he dared to break my soldiers in Gu'an, 4,000 a year later, and now in another two years, his soldiers have nearly 20,000. I will say a word today, if someone pushes the east and west, it is the enemy of my big gold, I have sent two yellow flags to transport grain and grass between the covers, this matter is imperative, if all of you don't go, I will also bring my own two yellow flags, desperately under the city of Lushun. ”
Hauge knelt down and shouted: "I am willing to go with the Great Khan and attack Lushun and capture Chen Xin." ”
Zilharang, Sakhalian, Yuetuo and others also knelt down, the youngest Duoduo was the most excited, and the voice was the loudest, and the other Gushan Ezhen also knelt down one after another, expressing their willingness to follow the Great Khan. For a while, there was a lot of roaring in the hall, and the crowd was excited.
Dolgon was a little distracted, and only then did he wake up, and when he saw everyone else kneeling, he turned his head to look at the two big Baylors with gloomy faces, sighed in his heart, and knelt down as well. He was a little later than the others, and Azig next to him turned his head to look at him, and there was no brotherly friendship in his eyes, but some schadenfreude.
Dorgon ignored him, still worried about the almost certain expedition. Dorgon was really reluctant to go, he had personally learned the power of that army, and he was very optimistic about the prospects of this battle. And his inlaid white flag still has some men in Fuzhou, last year he lost thousands of people, after the Emperor Taiji returned from the expedition to Chahar, set a new rule, in addition to the population allocated to the officials, the newly obtained population in the public is given priority to make up for less than 30 Niu Lu flags (Note 1), Dolgon was happy at first, but later looked at it, all for Huang Taiji himself. The current two yellow flags are changed from the previous two hundred flags, a total of more than 30 Niu Lu, this clause is the most beneficial to the two yellow flags, Huang Taiji gave priority to the strongest Ding Kou to supplement himself, and then it was the turn of others, looking at so many Ding Kou, the quality is very different. The Dingkou obtained by the white flag is very ordinary, and even the new Manchuria from the north is also the left of the two yellow flags, so he feels that he is at a loss, but now that the Huang Taiji has built momentum, even if he doesn't want to go in his heart, he can only be pulled away by this momentum.
Huang Taijigen did not mention the practical difficulties, and made a generous statement to occupy the righteousness, rising to the height of the life and death of the Houjin, in fact, he not only did things, but also let each banner solve the difficulties by itself. But he did it so with a sense of justice.
When the shouting gradually subsided, Mang Gurtai asked gloomily: "What the eighth brother said is true, but if it is beaten, even if it is defeated, what should it be, then Dengzhou Town is far away in the south of the Liaohai Sea, and we have no military ships to respond, even if Lushun is uprooted, he can also escape by boat, how easy is it to capture him alive?" I waited for the loss of the generals, Yu Chenxin only lost a partial division, Denglaigen is still there, and it will be made up in a year, when Dengzhou, Deng, Dongjiang, and Tianjin sailors will gather, the eighth brother has ever thought about how many soldiers and horses to send to Lushun to guard, less is difficult to be a blow, more grain and grass supply is difficult, if he is allowed to occupy, is it difficult for us to fight again? ”
Dorgon fell to his knees, and his heart applauded Manggultai. This sentence is to the point, because Lushun is close to the sea, and there is such a long strip south of Jinzhou, there is no water division in Houjin, and the Ming army can fight wherever it wants, and they don't even know that they are coming before landing, as long as there is a large army in Dengzhou, then Lushun can't hold it, and Houjin doesn't have the strength to fight with Chen Xin. In this way, the mobilization and attack of the whole division only need to come two or three times, and Houjin will not have to fight again.
The others knelt on the ground, and many turned their heads slightly, observing Huang Taiji's reaction with the corner of their eyes. There was silence in the hall.
Huang Taiji smiled slightly, turned to look at his fifth brother, at this time everyone else was kneeling, only Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai were still sitting on the chair, Huang Taiji didn't need to act for others, he coldly met Mang Gurtai's fierce eyes, Dai Shan was still that listless. It doesn't seem to be my business at all.
Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai looked at each other for a moment, and said coldly: "Sanbeile is still straight, and he only knows how to pick up a knife and cut people. If Sanbeile had listened carefully to what Yue Tuo said, how could he not be surprised by the number of Chen Xin's troops. How could he, a general soldier, have money and food to feed the army for tens of thousands, and how dare he train privately. Chen Xin dealt with Zhou Yanru's cronies when he was in Dengzhou and formed a mortal enmity with him, but fortunately, Zhou Yanru is still in the court. Why do I need to capture Chen Xin alive. He only needs to conquer Lushun in Jinzhou, and he will lose his momentum in the DPRK. Chen Xin has reckless ambitions. As long as the evidence is collected, and then the gold and silver are used to find some imperial history of the Ming Kingdom, impeachment of raising soldiers and having different aspirations. Huang Taiji paused for a moment and said with a slight smile: "At that time, there will be Ming court officials to help do good deeds, and I will see how much energy he still has to deal with my Dajin." ”……
Three days later, in the Zhenglan Banner Fort, Zhang Zhongqi sat in the main house, with a bag in front of him, and a Dengxiang in his hand, which he grabbed when he was in Shanxi, he grabbed more than ten bags in total, but most of them were handed over to Niu Lu, Zhang Zhongqi was reluctant to smoke on weekdays, and today he just came back from labor as a reward for himself.
Zhang Zhongqi now has three Aha, and he already belongs to the middle class in Qiding, even if it is the armor in Qiding, there are many people who do not have Ahha, but after Tiancong's early years of conquest, the situation is better than before. For those families who did not have Aha, the armoured men and their wives and children had to go down to the fields to cultivate and bear all kinds of labor and taxes.
He had just returned from one of the labors, and after Jinniulu not only had to send troops, farm, and raise horses, but also provide labor for the entire Jin country, such as hunting, ironmaking, repairing cities, boiling salt, providing posthorses for Korean envoys, and transporting Korean trade goods, etc., totaling more than 30 items, for those who did not have clothing, the burden was very heavy. Huang Taiji took care of these poor people alone, and when he stayed in Yongping, he specially ordered that the soldiers who were not allowed to stay at home without labor, if they missed the cultivation and were poor and had no food, they should be punished for the crime of Niu Luzhen.
Zhang Zhongqi has Niu Lu's real care, and he can choose a better one in labor, this time he went to Yaozhou to boil salt, according to the unspoken rules there, he brought back a big bag of salt, and he didn't have to worry about it for at least a year.
"Dumb, wait for Huang Shan to come back and let him do it, sit down and let's talk." Zhang Zhongqi said to the woman who was busy working in the yard.
The mute girl has a belly, and is maintaining the BMW in Zhang Zhongqi's house, Houjin's military discipline is strict, the armament and horses are not good, Niu Lu is really directly demoted, and when the expedition is about to begin, the horses will be sent to concentrate on stocking, which is directly related to whether the soldiers can go out with the army.
After hearing this, he smiled at Zhang Zhongqi, threw away the basket in his hand, and pulled a stool to the main room to sit down, Zhang Zhongqi looked at her with a smile, and his eyes were full of joy. The mute girl tilted her head to look at Zhang Zhongqi, stood up again and went to find a razor, carefully shaved Zhang Zhongqi's head, and the short hair pile fell down Zhang Zhongqi's forehead.
"I'm going to go to southern Liaoning to fight those Nikans, if I can grab a new coat, I'll take those two coats to farm, and your father won't have to work in the field."
The mute girl's hand shook, quickly stopped shaving her head, and came to Zhang Zhongqi and said, her hands were still gesturing.
Zhang Zhongqi smiled and said: "It's nothing, those Nikans in Jinzhou are easy to deal with, and I can fight ten alone." ”
The dumb girl laughed happily when she heard this, she pointed to her stomach, and then pointed to a Guanyin in the main room, Zhang Zhongqi nodded and said: "I know, let me do more good deeds, Guanyin will send our son to us." ”
Zhang Zhongqi patted his head, the dumb girl turned to him to shave his head, Zhang Zhongqi said softly: "But ah, it's hard to keep the war safe, if I can't come back, the silver is buried under the horse barrage trough, save some use, and it can deal with some days." ”
The mute man stopped again, and began to cry, and he pulled the mute in front of him, and put his ear to his bulging belly, and he said softly, "Son, if only you were born dumb...... It's okay to be dumb, your father doesn't want to go to war, so it's okay to cook salt, but Dad can't do it, Dad has to earn you some food. You remember, your father is a person from Liaoyang Wicker Village, our ancestral grave is there, if your father dies, you have to remember to go to your father's grave every year during Qingming. ”
The dumb man cried and waved his hand at Zhang Zhongqi again and again, Zhang Zhongqi suddenly raised his head and said to the dumb man: "You have to eat yourself, don't save me, how many battles Lao Tzu has fought, there is not a single scar on his body, he can't die, don't pity the silver, if it's not enough, go to dig under the manger." ”
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a thief-eyed bare head stretched in, his family's coat came back, followed by Zhang Zhongqi's coat old man, both of whom were carrying firewood, Zhang Zhongqi hurriedly ran over to catch the old man, and then punched and kicked the bag next to him, and kept scolding, "Huang Shan, you dog slave, stealing and playing tricks everywhere, let an old man carry so much, Lao Tzu cut you with a knife." ”
"Ouch, the master spared his life, Uncle Tan had to carry it, and the slave persuaded him to come." The Aha named Huang Shan begged for mercy.
Zhang Zhongqi didn't give up, and kicked a few more times, his nutrition is much better than before, and he has some strength to fight, so Huang Shan complained bitterly.
The dumb man hurriedly came over and grabbed Zhang Zhongqi, screaming, and kept pointing to the Guanyin statue, Zhang Zhongqi's face was full of anger, and he nodded again and again: "I know, I know, do good deeds." ”
That Huang Shan got this loophole, turned it up and kept kowtowing to Zhang Zhongqi, and his father-in-law also came over to persuade, "Master, Huang Shan persuaded me, I heard from the people in the village, you are about to leave, I want to save more."
Zhang Zhongqi hummed a few times, this old man always called him master, he didn't know how to call this old man, so he generally didn't call him, and just said things.
Huang Shan raised his head at this time, tilted his head and looked at Zhang Zhongqi, with a funny expression on his face, the old man looked at it, and saw that Zhang Zhongqi's head was only half shaved, and it was a yin and yang head.
Huang Shan flattered: "Master, the slave shaves your head." ”
"Go and feed the horses, Lao Tzu has a daughter-in-law to help me shave my head."
Zhang Zhongqi turned around and went back to the main house, Huang Shan put the firewood away, touched the edge of the horse pen, and was about to feed the grass, when he suddenly saw a bag of black beans on the ground, which was also fed to the horses, but it was generally fed by dumb people, and the dumb man forgot to take it away just now.
Huang Shan turned his head to look at the yard, Old Man Tan was lighting a fire, Zhang Zhongqi was not there, he grabbed a handful of black beans, threw a few in front of the manger, and then stuffed them all into his mouth.
Note 1: Volume 20 of the Records of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty: Less than 30 Cattle Record Banner ...... The strong men who belong to the system, don't live in a fort, and if they are captured, they will make up for it.
