Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 1002 Political Discussion (4)

Huang Taiji saw all the shouting and chaos in the hall. His face turned gloomy. He never imagined that the high-ranking officials of the Eight Banners would be so short-sighted!

Huang Taiji never denied that he divided the Eight Banners into four parts: Manchuria, Mongolia, Han Army, and Korea in order to further strengthen his rule and make more people bow down to him.

There is nothing wrong with this idea.

Because he is the Khan of the Great Jin Dynasty and the leader of the Eight Banners!
If we really talk about masters, he is the biggest master, and everyone is his slave, including his descendants. As long as he lives one day, whether it is the Great Jin or the Eight Banners, there can only be one sky, and that is him!
But apart from this idea, the real reason for wanting him to divide it this way was to make the Mongols, Han Chinese, Koreans, and even other people under the Eight Banners further unite into the Eight Banners.

In this way, when they go to the battlefield, they will be more brave and less afraid of death, thus reducing the casualties of the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

The roots of the Eight Banners have always been Manchuria.

Without Manchuria, the Eight Banners would be meaningless.

But it is an indisputable fact that since the Liaozuo Campaign, the Manchu core belonging to the Eight Banners has been continuously reduced. Even though before and after this, batches of Jurchens, especially those active in Nurgan, were absorbed into the Eight Banners, but in order to assimilate them and make them part of Manchuria, it takes time to settle down and requires fighting on the battlefield so that they can be integrated.

When his Khan-father was alive, what Huang Taiji could not accept the most was that he ignored the conflicts and confrontations between the Jurchens and other ethnic groups. This situation was acceptable for a short period of time, but if it lasted for a long time, the Eight Banners would lose the foundation for their hegemony.

So he has to change!
He not only wanted to change the Eight Banners, but also wanted to change the system of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The Ming system needs to be emulated. In Huang Taiji's view, this is extremely sound and in line with what will happen in the future of the Great Jin Dynasty. He even wants to change the country's name after the crisis is over.

Huang Taiji had already thought of the name of the country.

clear!!

When this country name appears, it will completely indicate that the Eight Banners under his command and the territory under his jurisdiction will be completely separated from his Khan Ama.

What he wanted to do, what he wanted to do, was not as simple as being a Khan. He wanted to be an emperor, just like the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Only in this way could the forces under his command annex the grassland.

The noisy hall gradually became quiet.

All kinds of gazes were focused on Huang Taiji.

"Why didn't you say anything?"

Facing all the gazes, especially after looking at Manggurtai and the others, Huang Taiji said in a cold tone: "I have said it from the beginning, don't talk about masters and servants. The crisis facing the Great Jin and the Eight Banners cannot be resolved. We all have to be servants, not masters!!"

"Many of you have fought in Khorchin, especially the army led by Hu Dun and Tu Han, which is now attacking Khorchin and other places, including some tribes under Khorchin's jurisdiction."

"Don't you understand? These guys want to beat the Eight Banners to death so that they can grab slaves and women, and make your offspring slaves and ride your women at will."

"The Eight Banners were divided into four parts: Manchuria, Mongolia, Han Army, and Korea. This was to better deal with the situation of being attacked from both sides, and to seize their women and slaves."

"Hear all of them clearly to this Khan. The Eight Banners Mongols, Han Army, and Koreans are indeed specially appointed, but Gushan Ezhen and Jiala Ezhen are all selected from the Eight Banners Manchus. As for Niulu Ezhen, some are selected from the Eight Banners Manchus, and some are selected from the Mongols, Han Army, and Koreans!"

"Also, the leaders of the Eight Banners Mongolian, Han, and Korean banners are all selected from my Aisin-Gioro family. This Khan must not only win the battle with Hu Dun Tu Han, but also severely damage the Chahar tribe where Hu Dun Tu Han is. This Khan wants to let him know what the price of provoking my Eight Banners is."

Huang Taiji's voice echoed in the hall, but the eyes of many people in the hall changed. Daishan, Manggurtai and Amin, who saw this scene, all felt uneasy.

This move was so cruel that they dared not say anything now.

The Eight Banners of Mongolia, Han Army, and Korea were created. The former group of slaves were the same as the Eight Banners of Manchuria. However, the three divisions and eight banners that were created still mainly belonged to the Eight Banners of Manchuria. More importantly, the leaders of the three divisions and eight banners were all from the Aisin Gioro family.

This is equivalent to allowing a group of people to rise up strongly.

So, when Dangshan and his friends saw the looks in some people’s eyes, they knew that they were powerless to change the situation.

"Who has any other opinions? Speak up now!"

Seeing the expressions of everyone in the hall, Huang Taiji knew what they were planning, but Huang Taiji did not intend to wait, because if he waited, something unexpected would happen.

What he needs least right now is change.

What he needs is control!
"If not, then continue."

Seeing that no one was talking, Huang Taiji didn't give anyone a chance and started talking about other things. "The Eight Banners must not only fight the battle against Hu Dun and Tu Han, but also fight well..."

Huang Taiji's words echoed in the hall.

But the thoughts of everyone in the hall changed.

"Myna, you really understand people's hearts."

At this moment, when Dorgon saw the scene before him, he felt awe and even fear in his heart. What Huang Taiji said was too cruel.

His worries were eliminated because of what Huang Taiji said.

Although the Eight Banners of Mongolia, Han Army, and Korea were established, the main positions were still held by the Eight Banners of Manchu. The key point was that the leaders of all banners, big and small, were from the Aisin Gioro family.

This made Dorgon understand something.

The Eight Banners were created by the Mynah Brothers in the hope that the Mongols, Han troops and Koreans under their command would unite under the eight banners. This way, when they fought with other forces in the future, they would surely be fearless and brave, while the Eight Banners Manchus would be responsible for supporting the enemy and reaping the rewards.

Isn't this just cannon fodder?

The key is that there will be plenty of people vying to be cannon fodder.

The dead are not what the Eight Banners want.

Those who are alive will belong to the Eight Banners from now on.

As for every battle, a large number of people will be killed, but as long as the war is over, there will be a large number of prisoners who will be replaced in time.

This incident even made Dorgon think that after the war with Hudun and Tuhan was over, the Eight Banners would have to return to Liaodong or even go to Korea. After all, if the Eight Banners of these two tribes needed to be supplemented with manpower, they would have to set foot in these places, otherwise the two tribes would be useless.

With this premise, if the people from the two Eight Banners really want to fight, wouldn't they rush to fight to be the first to kill, so that they can ensure their status?
