Chapter 748 Dissatisfaction
crackle~
The burning bonfire made a sound, and sparks were scattered by the cold wind, in a tent at the core of the Zhengbai Banner garrison in Shengjing City.

"Damn it! Even if we want to conquer the various Nurgan tribes, we still have to take away 60% of the men. We can't fight this war at all!"

Huang Taiji, who was sitting on a wooden bench, clenched his fists and said sternly, "Khan Ama is worried about me and wants to reduce the number of my Zhengbai Banner in this way!!"

"Send Degelei and Dorgon to my command and wait for my orders. Humph, it sounds better than singing. I have heard that Dorgon has many brave generals under his command. Suohai, Tulai, Yindahuqi, and Langge all followed Dorgon to fight. He also sent a group of hundreds of Bayala subordinates, led by Aobai himself!"

"Who has the final say on this eastern expedition to the Nurgan tribes, this Beile or Dorgon? Is this trying to make this Beile a stepping stone for Dorgon?!"

The atmosphere in the tent changed.

Fan Wencai and Fan Wencheng looked at each other with different expressions on their faces. They didn't know what to say about this matter for a moment.

After all, when they evacuated from Korea, they anticipated that they might suffer heavy losses in the war between the Great Jin and the Ming Dynasty, but they did not expect that Nurhaci would abandon Hetuala and directly move the core of the Eight Banners north to Shengjing City.

Such changes made many of their previous plans in Korea become futile. They fought desperately under the attack of the Ming army and evacuated Korea with many Korean craftsmen, money and food. They also fought with He Shixian, Liu Xingzuo, Li Yangeng and others in the Kuandian forts.

It was thought that under such circumstances, as all the Eight Banners suffered losses, the Plain White Banner would be able to gain the upper hand and then gain more power for their master.

But what happens in the end?
With the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Jinshan, Shengjing City became the new power core of the Eight Banners. More than 60% of the population, money and grain plundered by the Plain White Banner in Korea were requisitioned by Nurhaci.

Yes.

The Eight Banners organized in Korea were not taken away by Nurhaci, but not long after they rested in Shengjing City, Daishan conveyed the Khan's order, ordering Huang Taiji to lead the Plain White Banner and the Korean vassal army to the east!
In the Battle of Jinshan, the Ming army won a great victory, which changed the situation around Liaodong. The relationship between the Khorchin tribes and the Great Jin began to crack. In addition, the Ming army stationed in Tieling, Kaiyuan and other places also sent cavalry forward every now and then, which made the situation around Liaodong very delicate.

If he had to lead troops on an expedition, Huang Taiji would rather lead his troops to the Khorchin tribes. After all, this place is closer to the core of the Jin Dynasty. The key is that the Khorchin tribes are much easier to conquer than the Nurgan tribes.

The Eastern Expedition against the Nurgan tribes not only entailed numerous dangers, but the key point was that the tribes here were all very good at fighting. Most importantly, there were too many dangerous areas above. If the troops were to advance deep into the territory, they would not be able to get back quickly if something unexpected happened in the Shengjing area.

"If I had known this would happen, I should have listened to your advice and led my troops to station in the Kuandian fort area." Huang Taiji felt regret in his heart and said to Fan Wencai and Fan Wencheng.

"If we stay in the Kuandian forts, we will face multiple threats from the Ming army, but at least we won't be at the mercy of others. Success or failure depends on our own abilities."

"Now, in order to restore his power, to strengthen the Eight Banners, and to enhance the Khan's authority, Khan Ama has allowed Daishan to stay in Shengjing City, but has sent all of us out to lead the troops to fight."

"Even after moving to Shengjing City, Khan Ama has reused a group of officers from the two yellow flags and asked them to serve as garrison officers in various places, which means that all the advantages in the past are gone!"

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Where there is a world, there are bound to be disputes. Even under the Eight Banners, this kind of thing is inevitable. The Eight Banners created by Nurhaci have too many factions within them. It seems that the ones who want to fight are Nurhaci's many descendants, but in fact, the supporters and followers behind them are the source of all this.

As a nomadic people, the Jurchens have been in conflict for a long time. This has made each clan understand one thing: if you want others to value you and respect you, the one who has the stronger fist is the real principle. As for everything else, they are all false.

It is true that the Eight Banners system was extremely stable, as it was able to gather a group of capable and skilled fighters to fight, but in places that could not be seen, there existed the desire to climb up the ladder.

If you want to climb up, you have to step on others.

The struggle for power is not like treating someone to a dinner, it will inevitably be accompanied by bloodshed. If you have more power, then I will have less power. For many people, they would rather have more power in their hands than see others have more power!
"Master, it's no use talking about this now."

Seeing that Fan Wencai remained silent, Fan Wencheng stepped forward and advised: "For the master right now, the key is how to deal with the next Nurgan tribes."

"The Ming court will not give my Eight Banners too many opportunities, especially since Xiong Tingbi is still in charge of Liaodong. He knows too much about my Eight Banners. If we cannot get as many troops as possible before Liaodong recovers, I am afraid that when Xiong Manzi leads his troops to attack Liaodong, my Eight Banners will surely face danger."

"No?"

Huang Taiji obviously couldn't listen, frowned and looked at Fan Wencheng and said: "Hasn't this prince done enough? Why does Khan Ama favor Dorgon and others?"

"Everything we do now, including everything we do in the future, this prince knows that this is Khan Ama paving the way for Dorgon and his men!!"

"Daishan, he is just a fool. He is used as a pawn by Khan Ama and he enjoys it. Humph, this prince cannot do such a thing."

The more you know, the more despair you feel.

Especially when you know that everything you do may not bring you the desired results, but you still hold on to hope in your heart, but what you get in the end is different treatment.

This despair is even stronger!
This is what Huang Taiji really thinks at the moment.

He didn't know what all he had done would bring. He knew that Khan Ama didn't value him and that the throne would never be passed on to him, but he still wanted to try.

It was with this idea in mind that he took on such a dangerous task as conquering Korea. Although he failed to seize Korea, he at least did it!
When Huang Taiji thought about what was happening in North Korea, he became even angrier.

Why did the Ming Dynasty have an inexhaustible source of manpower? The key was that the officers who led these armies were all so strong, which was completely different from before.

Huang Taiji thought that he could indirectly influence the situation in Liaodong by leading his troops to fight against Korea, but he never expected that the troops transferred from other places by the Ming Dynasty would be so difficult to deal with! !
