Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 747: First they were king and subject, then they were father and son

Since he moved to Ciluwei and settled there, Nurhaci has been wondering why the situation in the war between the two sides reversed after the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne?
First there was the defeat in Liaozuo, then the tug-of-war between the two sides, and finally the defeat in Fushun, Tieling, and Jinshan. During this period there was also the defeat in Korea. This series of defeats against the Ming completely wiped out the advantages that the Jin Dynasty had previously gained, and it was forced to move north to recuperate!
It was also after a long period of reflection that Nurhaci calmed down.

The muskets and artillery used by the Ming army garrisoning Liao were very different from those used during the Wanli period.

The Ming troops stationed in Liao were no longer owed food and wages.

The Ming troops stationed in Liao were commanded by people who were proficient in military affairs, and even the eunuchs garrisoning there were all laid off.

For some reason, the Ming troops stationed in Liao seemed to have become more warlike than before and were no longer afraid of death.

The Ming army guarding Liao...

This series of reflections made Nurhaci begin to think about how to make the damaged Eight Banners recover as soon as possible?
Simply building a number of cities, clarifying the Eight Banners garrison system, reclaiming wasteland, and rebuilding the Black Banner to enhance the status of the Han people... these are far from enough.

"Khan, your body has just recovered, so you shouldn't overwork yourself." After returning from an inspection of the Two Yellow Banners garrison camp, Nurhaci had just entered the Khan's tent to rest when Dorgon came right after him, holding a bowl of ginseng soup in his hand and respectfully handed it to Nurhaci.

"Benhan is fine."

Nurhaci showed a doting look on his face, and took the ginseng soup handed by Dorgon with a smile, "This Khan asked you to follow your brother and march east to conquer the Nurgan tribes. Do you feel scared in your heart?"

"no!"

Dorgon's eyes were firm, and he said in a deep voice: "The blood of Aisin-Gioro flows in my body. Now I have to fight for Aisin-Gioro and the Eight Banners. If I am afraid, I am not worthy of being a descendant of Aisin-Gioro, let alone the son of Khan Ama!"

"Okay, okay, I really didn't misjudge you."

Nurhaci showed a gratified smile and praised generously: "This time you are going to fight with your brother, you should watch more, listen more, and learn more. The ability to kill the enemy on the battlefield is not gained by talking, but by killing."

"My son understands."

Dorgon nodded heavily.

After a series of defeats, the Eight Banners suffered heavy casualties. Although Nurhaci moved the core of the Eight Banners to the north in order to recuperate, the battles that had to be fought still had to be fought. If the Eight Banners were away from the war, would they still be the Eight Banners?
What's more, the Eight Banners have a large number of reduced men, and relying solely on childbearing is not enough, so they must plunder the population and recruit more able-bodied men into the Eight Banners, starting from the lowest level, the Aha. Only after they fight their way out of the battlefield step by step, get rewards and promotions, can they be considered a member of the Eight Banners!
"Master, the Great Prince wants to see you!"

The voice outside the tent made Nurhaci's smile disappear, and was replaced by seriousness.

"Send him in."

Nurhaci said in a low voice.

"twitter!"

As the voice outside the tent was heard, Daishan, who was standing outside the tent, walked in with his head lowered. When he came to Nurhaci, he bowed and saluted.

"My son, I pay my respects to Khan Amma!"

"Get up."

Nurhaci leaned against the Khan's throne and looked at Daishan in front of him. The feeling he had was completely different from his attitude towards Dorgon just now.

"Khan Ama, the sites for the gun, cannon, and ordnance workshops to be built in Shengjing City have been selected." Under Nurhaci's gaze, Daishan said respectfully.

"The above workshops will begin construction in ten days at the latest, and will be completed by the end of October this year. The guns, cannons and military equipment Niulu under the Black Banner will be able to forge guns, cannons and military equipment for our Eight Banners."

"In addition, several more mineral deposits have been discovered outside Shengjing City. After the construction of workshops for making guns, cannons, and weapons begins, mining outside Shengjing City will also be stepped up."

"too slow!"

Nurhaci frowned and said, "By the end of June this year at the latest, the designated workshops must be completed. The casting of guns and cannons can be slow, but the weapons needed by the Eight Banners must be forged faster!"

"Especially armor-piercing arrows and crossbows, we need to speed up the production. Otherwise, when Huang Taiji leads his troops to conquer Nurgan and Manggurtai leads his troops to approach Khorchin, how can we deter the powerful enemy without these?" Daishan said stiffly, "Khan, this may be difficult to accomplish. We need to build Shengjing City, build various cities, build workshops under Shengjing City, and mine minerals. All the Baoyi Aha who can be transferred have been transferred. We only have so many people..."

“That’s something you have to sort out.”

Nurhaci snorted coldly and interrupted Daishan. "As far as I know, there are still several thousand Aha under the command of the Zhenghong Banner. What do you want to do with them?"

"You are now assisting this Khan in governing the country. Aren't you satisfied? Or is there any other purpose for the Zhenghong Banner to keep these Ahas?"

"I don't dare!"

Daishan was shocked and quickly knelt on the ground.

Dorgon, who was standing nearby, watched the scene quietly.

As the core of the Eight Banners moved north to Ciluwei and renamed it Shengjing City, the Eight Banners ushered in a major change in all aspects.

The biggest change was that Daishan, who had been deprived of power, regained power and even assisted Nurhaci in governing the country, which established his title as the Great Beile again.

However, from this moment on, Daishan's status in the Eight Banners was improved, but correspondingly, he attracted hostility from many people.

Without him.

Although Nurhaci had made it clear about some things that would help consolidate the Khan's power, he asked Daishan to issue them all, such as the garrison system of the Eight Banners, the handing over of the Baoyi Aha, the reconstruction of the Black Banner, etc. These policies were issued through Daishan, and Nurhaci controlled all of this behind the scenes.

If anyone dared to be perfunctory or shirk responsibility in this matter, Nurhaci would not find anyone else but Daishan to deal with it, which forced Daishan to bite the bullet and do it.

Just like what is happening in Shengjing City right now, it is affected by one incident.

The third prince Manggurtai was to lead the Bordered Blue Banner to approach Khorchin, and the fourth prince Huang Taiji was to lead the Plain White Banner to advance eastward to Nurgan. At the same time, Abai, Tanggudai, Tabai, Dergelei, Ajige, Dorgon and others followed Manggurtai and Huang Taiji to various places.

In the core area of ​​Shengjing City, apart from the eight banners stationed in Shengjing, there are only the Two Yellow Banners, the Two Yellow Banners and the Bordered White Banner.

Ok.

The second Beile Amin led the Zhenglan Banner to guard the Hetuala area.

In Shengjing City, the core of the Eight Banners' power, the three great beiles were all leading their troops outside, leaving only the great beile Daishan behind. This was bound to make people think too much.

But is Daishan’s situation really good?

In addition to the two yellow flags, the Bordered Red Flag is led by Yuetuo, and the Bordered White Flag is led by Dudu. Daishan stayed in Shengjing City, but did he dare to act rashly?

When it comes to checks and balances, Nurhaci is still very experienced.

"As for the captured men captured by the various banners, each banner can only keep 40% of them, and the rest must be handed over to Shengjing City."

Nurhaci leaned forward, stared at Daishan and said, "There are so many things to do, and so many people are missing, so we must find a way to solve this matter. The transfer will be handled by you, the Zhenghong Banner."

"If any banner dares to make a move on this matter, stop supplying grain and grass to this Khan. The Eight Banners are a whole. This Khan is the Khan of the Great Jin, and the master of the Eight Banners. Now the Eight Banners need to recover. As a great prince, you should shoulder the burden for this Khan instead of being afraid of offending anyone!"

"twitter!"

Daishan secretly groaned in his heart, but did not dare to hesitate for the slightest.

Daishan saw his current situation more clearly than anyone else. It was clear that he was being used as a gun. Many people were already dissatisfied and hostile towards him.

But in the current situation, if he dared to disobey Khan Ama's order, even though he was in charge of the Red Banner, there were many eyes staring at him, and the one who wanted him to make trouble the most was Yuetuo who led the Red Banner. The friendship between them as father and son had been exhausted a long time ago, and now there was nothing but hatred and hostility...
