Chapter 393: Recovering Liaonan 8
Although the Later Jin Jurchen often had the upper hand in the military struggle against the Ming Dynasty in the era of wild boar skin and Huang Taiji, especially in the Huang Taiji era, the Jurchen soldiers entered the customs many times and plundered all parts of Hebei and Shandong, but because of the backward system of the Later Jin Jurchen regime itself, the internal contradictions of the Later Jin Jurchen regime, which had been struggling with the backward slave tribal system for a long time, were also quite intense. 【Reading.com】
To take the simplest example, the military force of the Later Jin Jurchens stationed in the southern Liaoning region was inlaid with blue flags. The original leader of the Blue Flag, Amin, was the cousin of Huang Taiji, the nephew of Wild Boar Skin, and this person did not think much of his uncle Wild Boar Skin or his cousin Huang Taiji.
Amin looked down on Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji, who was keen on political reform and unified power, naturally did not want to see Amin either. It is precisely for this reason that Amin's blue flag, and the white flag that is also not very good with Huang Taiji against Azig, will be sent to Korea to fight against Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army to consume strength.
In the first time after the end of the Battle of Ding Mao, Amin, who had consumed a large number of core troops, was killed by Huang Taiji with an excuse. The entire property of the Blue Banner and Amin was also transferred to the hands of Jilharang, who had a good relationship with Huang Taiji.
The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, although the new blue flag lord Jierharang is now slaughtering and plundering around with Huang Taiji in the Guannei, but the Jiala Ezhen and Niulu Ezhen who stayed in the southern Liaoning region with the blue flag are also panicked.
On the one hand, they were afraid that their subordinates would be deliberately consumed in the battle in the pass, and on the other hand, they were afraid that their own Niu Lu and Jiala's Ding Kou would implicate themselves by their poor performance in the battle, and give the new banner lord Ji'er Harang an excuse to get rid of him.
Therefore, during the period from the end of 1629 to the beginning of 1630, the blue-banner armor Lae Zhenyue Cha Actun in Fuzhou Wei did not even find that one of his cattle stationed in Jinzhou Wei was gone.
After all, in the deep winter season when the weather is more than 20 degrees below zero, even if it is as barbaric as the Jurchens, they will do everything possible to avoid the cold in winter. In the case of backward productivity, going outside in this kind of weather is completely a kind of death-seeking behavior.
What's more, unlike the Fuxing Army, the Houjin Jurchens had no cotton and cloth on their part, so there were no too effective measures to protect them from the cold. Wearing animal fur and the like can keep you warm to a certain extent, but the warmth effect of these animal furs that have not been carefully processed into clothes is also very limited.
Although Fuzhou City has been looted and destroyed by the Jurchens several times, as an acropolis, although its city defense facilities are all dilapidated, there are still many buildings in the city that have been preserved. The original Ming Dynasty Fuzhou Wei Commander Yamen is now the commander of Jin Fu stationed in southern Liaoning with blue banners, in charge of the five Jurchen banners of Niu Lu and the five Mongolian banners of Niu Lu, as well as the garrison of Yuecha Akdun of 3,000 Han people who are coated with Aha.
Yue Cha's family is considered a big surname in the blue flag. In the blue flag, the people of the Yue Cha clan are prosperous, and one-fifth of the people with the blue flag are members of the Yue Cha clan.
Therefore, even if the owner of the blue flag has changed, on the whole, the status of the Yue Cha clan in the blue flag is still guaranteed. The new Blue Flag Banner Master Jierharang is also very close to the people of the Yuecha clan.
However, despite this, Yuecha Actun, who was more powerful in the Blue Banner, still felt the jealousy of the new banner lord Zilharang. In this raiding operation, Zilharang specially transferred a lot of people from Acton. At least half of Acton's sturdy soldiers were taken by Zilharan as his white armor.
If it weren't for Actun's very prescient prescient concealment of the two small Mongolian tribes to replenish their own dingkou, this draw of Ding alone would have emptied Acton's Jiala.
The winter weather in the northeast, especially in this era of the Xiaoice River, is very cold. A man as fat as Acton also lit three braziers in his house. At this stage, most of the Jurchens have not yet mastered the technique of the earthen kang. Only in the current city of Shenyang, the so-called capital of the Later Jin Dynasty, did Han slaves build some earthen kang for those noble leaders. In areas like Fuzhou, which are currently marginal, Acton can only be heated by braziers.
That's pretty good. Most of the Jurchens and Mongols only lit fires in their houses to keep warm. They don't even have braziers.
Just as Acton was drinking the tea soup made from inferior tea leaves, a Bao Yi named Yan Chongnian who was waiting beside Acton hurriedly ran in.
Although Actun, who was very dissatisfied, casually gave this slave two slaps, Yan Chongnian still reported to Acton in fluent Jurchen that a small Mongolian tribe outside Fuzhou City, who had been in charge of hunting and supplying him with game for Actun, did not hand over today's share.
Hearing this, Acton immediately ordered Yan Chongnian to find one of his subordinates, Niu Lu Ezhen.
Acton certainly did not expect that his Mongols would be taken away by the forces of the Baath Army. In his experience, there is no way to conduct a military operation in such weather. He thought it was probably the heavy snow yesterday that had caused a lot of population loss to the Mongols stationed outside the city, which caused them not to hand in their share of the bill today.
The ethnic oppression of the Later Jin Jurchens was not only directed against the Han Chinese. In the Later Jin Jurchen regime, whether it was those Jurchen fish skin tartars of the same race as them, or those Mongols who took refuge and passively took refuge, they all had to accept the national oppression of the Later Jin Jurchens just like the Han people. This is why the Mongols often fled to the side of the Ming Dynasty before they were in a passive position for a long time in the military conflict between the Ming and Later Jin.
For Acton, the prey that the Mongols brought was not something he had to eat every day. Wild meat is not a rare thing here in Houjin. As a Jiala, he has an abundant supply of food, and naturally those rice and white noodles are more delicious for him.
But the problem is that the game that these Mongols hand in every day is not just a simple matter of providing food for Acton. This barbarian, who gradually began to have a sense of scheming, believed that the game meat handed over by the Mongols was a manifestation of his own submission, just as the Han people called themselves slaves and knelt down happily.
If any clothed Aha like Yan Chongnian dares to kneel down honestly and call himself a slave disrespectfully, then he has the intention to resist, and then he must use a leather whip and a saber to teach them the rules. In the same way, if the Mongols with a higher status are not willing to honestly hand over a part of their daily prey, it will represent the resistance and dissatisfaction of the Mongols. Such revolts and discontents must be brutally suppressed at all times and at all times.
In this way, Acton dropped a full number of cattle and rode out of the city with three or four hundred men, punishing the Mongols, who might have been dissatisfied with the loss of population caused by the heavy snowstorm and did not turn in their share on time.
What Acton didn't know was that while he was leading the soldiers of Niu Lu out of the city, a unit of the Revival Army was setting up positions on the way out of the city, waiting for Acton to crash into him like a spider with a web
