Chapter 402: The First Northeast Campaign 5

Traitors are not easy to be. [No pop-ups]

There is no clear concept of traitor in his head, he has been living under the rule of the Jurchen master since he can remember, and his father is the waiter next to the Jurchen master, so Yan Chongnian's son Yan Yaozu, as a little slave born to an old slave, as a glorious first-class coat, not only does not feel that there is any shame in his identity, but also, like his Lao Tzu, feels that at least among the Han people in the Later Jin Dynasty, they are superior.

Of course, even if he is a traitor and a little minion, Yan Yaozu is also a person with feelings. He could clearly feel that there was something wrong in the eyes of the Han people around him looking at him.

However, Yan Yaozu didn't think that these eyes with obvious hatred tendencies involved any ethnic hatred. He simply thought that these people wanted to be a high-level coat like himself but couldn't get it, so he had a lot of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Of course, in this era, the better Han people who can live under the national oppression and exploitation of the Later Jin Jurchen are basically those who willingly become traitors. Even if there were many people who became slaves because they were dissatisfied with the Jurchens, the main reason was that they could not let go of their personal enmity with the Jurchens, such as killing their fathers, killing their mothers, killing their wives and killing their children. The concept of nation is still too extravagant for an agrarian society.

Those Han people who wanted to resist either ran to Dongjiang Town, or died in the Jurchens' suppression of Han rebellion. Those Han Chinese, who are currently living a completely serfdom life under Jurchen rule, are often the kind of people who are upset but do not have the courage to resist.

In this gray environment, Huang Taiji has always been trying to transform the policy of the Han people for his own use, but it has been difficult to implement it because of the lack of response.

However, it cannot be said that Yan Yaozu, a second-generation traitor, is very good at seizing the opportunity of reform. He very shrewdly seized the opportunity of his own father Yan Chongnian to be hanged after being paraded in the streets by the revival army, and slapped his chest in front of Allah, a young girl, to preach loyalty, expressing his determination to avenge his dead father and continue the old Yan family's great cause of loyalty to the Jurchen Taijun.

If Yan Chongnian were still alive, he might pat his son on the shoulder, praise him for his shamelessness, and praise him for his filthiness. Taking advantage of his father's death to seize an opportunity to take the position, Yan Chongnian did not have such an opportunity back then. After all, Yan Chongnian's father had died under the butcher's knife of the Jurchen Taijun, and Yan Chongnian's mother had also become the wife of a Jurchen bannerman.

However, when Yan Chongnian was able to become a high-ranking officer with a blue flag, Jiala'e Zhenyuecha Actun's personal entourage, it was also because he was very aware of the current affairs and recognized his cheap father.

It can only be said that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and each generation is stronger than the next, Yan Chongnian was just taking the position by recognizing his father, and now his son has evolved to the point where he can use his father's death as an excuse to show loyalty and seize the opportunity.

Traitors are really not so easy to be.

When the little devils invaded China in later generations, they wanted to find a high-end position in the little devils who were not like the puppet army who went to mines to block guns, did not know foreign languages, did not receive higher education, and ordinary people could not mix with such high-level traitors.

In the era of the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the job of a traitor was not something that anyone could do. The Jurchen "Taijun" and the "Imperial Army" are different, the little ghosts also pay attention to a strategy, a bit of basic rules, but the Jurchen Taijun act entirely on the basis of joy and anger. In addition to being fluent in Jurchen language, there is no clever ability to observe words and feelings, no good physical fitness, and few people can survive such things by whipping and even being knifed at every turn.

Let's just say that Yan Chongnian and Yan Yao's grandfather and son have taken refuge for two generations, and there is a senior traitor of the Jurchen cheap father and cheap grandfather, even if they have received a lot of whips when they are working outside, both of them are scarred. Let's just say that after being whipped, you can immediately accompany the laughter and continue to do things, how many people have such ability?

It's not easy to mess around with the Jurchens. As a regime that adopted the system of integrating soldiers and civilians, even if Yan Yaozu was promoted from above, because the Later Jin Jurchen had not yet entered the customs to govern, no matter who he was, he was valued and undertook more important work in the military.

Take Yan Yaozu as an example, he has been promoted, from an ordinary high-ranking minion to an officer, and he is directly in charge of a Han Aha who has 300 people in Niulu. But his job has also changed from waiting for people with smiling faces to carrying grain and grass and carrying baggage with Han slaves.

The people of the old Yan family are indeed good slaves, and Yan Chongnian and Yan Yao's grandfather and son are indeed the kind of good people with a "big conscience" who do not hesitate to sacrifice chrysanthemums for the loyalty of the Jurchen Taijun, but they really can't do such things as participating in the march and joining the army to fight. Think about it, if you really have this ability, how can you be a slave who licks your beard.

What's more, after becoming the temporary title of Han military commander, Yan Yaozu clearly discovered that the Han people under his command Aha were not the kind of smooth coats he often saw in the city waiting in the mansions of the old men of various banners. The more than 300 Han people under him, Ahha, did not have the slightest hint of envy, jealousy and hatred in his eyes when he looked at him.

Yan Yaozu, who was proficient in observing words and feelings, knew that the eyes of the more than 300 people under his command were full of hatred. He could even feel that the hatred of these people under his command might be greater than that of those Jurchen masters.

Just pondered and understood the taste of this, Yan Yaozu wanted to talk to his godfather several times, and wanted to unload his errands. But he also knew that his godfather had already instructed him well before he took office. said that this opportunity was a rare opportunity for his "lowly Nikan species" to turn over.

Therefore, although he was terrified that he would be killed by his own men in a possible battle, Yan Yaozu still persevered with the ideal of "glorious ancestors" like his name.

The rugged terrain and dense forests in southern Liaoning are not the endless Mongolian steppes.

On the march in the Liaodong region, whether Han Chinese, Mongols or Jurchens, they had to march along official roads.

Because the garrison locations of the various departments of the Eight Banners are different, Huang Taiji's military order is to meet each flag together near Gaizhouwei, and then Huang Taiji, who gathers various troops, will make military decisions.

At the end of April 1630, nearly 4,000 Jurchen elite soldiers of various banners gathered in the city of Gaizhou, waiting for the arrival of Huang Taiji's Chinese army.

The Mongols and Han Chinese did not have the good fortune to enjoy the good living facilities in the city of Gaizhou. However, it was precisely because they did not enter Gaizhou City that they escaped a catastrophe.

In the silent darkness, five steam-powered fire support ships of the Fuxing Army, which were about 700 tons of fire support, quietly went upriver and anchored on the Liao River on the edge of Gaizhou City.

Through the faint moonlight, those who are interested may be able to see that on the five fire support ships, ten 120 mm caliber "giant guns" and 32 75 mm caliber guns have been neatly aimed at Gaizhou City in the night when there is still some noise. Space-Time Gate 1619
