Win the Ding 1617

In March of the tenth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji returned to Shenyang after completely pulling out the big nail that was swinging between the Ming and Qing Dynasties in North Korea.On the way back to the division, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi, who were born in Mao Wenlong's righteous son in Dongjiang Town, were ordered to attack Tieshanpi Island. a nail.

The Qing army escorted 50 Korean captives in a mighty manner, stretching for hundreds of miles from the Yalu River to Shenyang. The end of these Koreans being escorted back to Shenyang was to serve as slaves.Accompanying them to Shenyang was a large amount of supplies and property looted from North Korea.

After this battle, the rebels in Liaodong can be said to have returned with a full load.From the prince of the banner owner to the ordinary bannermen, all of them have a lot of money. "Gold and silver are hung in front of the horse, and women are carried behind the horse."

And the one who gained the most is Huang Taiji himself.

At Sandiandu where he camped, the king of Joseon erected a stele of meritorious deeds of the Qing emperor, and built the Yingen Gate in the capital of the king of Joseon to welcome all kinds of envoys he sent in the future.

According to the agreement signed by the two parties, North Korea must break off diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty, accept his canonization, and become a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty.According to the treaty, the era name used by North Korea was changed from the era name of the Ming Dynasty to the era name of the Qing Dynasty.This undoubtedly won him the greatest victory in politics, leaving the dissident banner owners and princes and nobles of Baylor in the country speechless.

In terms of economy, not only 50 people were plundered from North Korea, which greatly supplemented the population shortage, but also obtained a large amount of property. economic pressure.

In his hand, he was holding the seal of King Quan Zhi Korea's state affairs issued to Li Chenggui by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.Huang Taiji felt that he could go back and offer sacrifices to Tangzi, and comfort his ancestor Meng Temu, who had been bullied by the North Koreans when he was alive, and finally he could feel proud under Jiuquan.

Thinking of raising his eyebrows, Huang Taiji suddenly thought of another thing, and couldn't help frowning again.

Shortly after returning to Shenyang, on the fifth day of March, Huang Taiji ordered that the King of Joseon's claim to be presented to the camp should be linked with the main figures of Hongwenguan School Manager Yin Ji, Hongwenguan School Manager Wu Daji, and the commander of the Sixian Mansion. Hong Yihan bound the execution ground and beheaded for public display.

And Jin Zidian, the leader of the Western People's Party who has always advocated being pro-Qing, became one of the supervisors of the three beheaded three Korean scholars.

And on the seventh day of March, the princes of all the banners, Lord Baylor, gathered in front of the Ten Kings Pavilion.Prepare to discuss how to divide the wealth and population plundered this time into eighth.That is to discuss how to divide the spoils.

Except Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and others who are still capturing Pidao at this time.Almost all the upper-level figures of the Qing army were present.Sitting on the throne in the Dazheng Hall, Huang Taiji felt that this was the joy of being a gentleman.However, looking at Dorgon sitting firmly in front of the Zhengbai Banner Pavilion, Huang Taiji couldn't help but twitched in his heart.His temples bulged up twice.I was dizzy for a few moments.

The Dorgon brothers are in North Korea.There are different opinions among the disciples of the Eight Banners as to how much benefit they have gained.However, a statement that is recognized by everyone is. "We don't want to go to the place where the two white flags have been. Not even a single blade of grass will grow. I'm afraid we have to leave some food for those Koreans who are suffering haha ​​before we can leave!"

And the bannermen of the two white flags were in North Korea. On the way back to the teacher, they continued to go to the seaside in units of Niulu and Jiala. When they came back, they were dressed in bright red clothes.

In order to allow the Dorgon brothers to hand over this trade route, Huang Taiji talked with Dorgon several times in Sandiandu Daying and promised countless benefits. Only then did he reluctantly persuade Dorgon and agreed to return to Shenyang Then he ordered his servants to invite the merchants from the South China Sea and hand them over to the flag masters for discussion.

For things like distributing stolen goods, the banner owners of all banners, whether it is the Eight Banners Manchuria or the Eight Banners Mongolia, are very familiar with it.The total number is reported, and then the banners are assigned according to the number of troops sent and the number of armored soldiers.The purpose of everyone coming today is not here.

"Brother, it's settled. If the old man plans to kill Mr. Li and cut off our money, I will turn against him!"

This is Duo Duo's private statement with Dorgon.

For this reason, Duoduo wore three layers of armor today, and the innermost one was a Nanman breastplate bought from a Shanxi merchant for more than 200 taels of silver.The Ba Yala soldiers with white flags who came with Duoduo were also wearing heavy armor, on the one hand to show off their strength, and on the other hand to prevent accidents.

Not only him, but also the Ba Yala soldiers with white flags inlaid with Duduo were all wearing heavy armor, on the one hand to show off their strength, and on the other hand to prevent accidents.

"Fourteenth brother, fifteenth brother, your soldiers and horses are very elite!"

Daishan, Prince of the Great Belle Li, twirled his gray beard, blinked his old eyes, and looked at the two white-flag sergeants behind Dorgon and Duoduo.

"Ama, Uncle Fourteenth and Uncle Fifteenth lead their troops well, and their subordinates are generous, so they are naturally strong." Shuo Tuo, who has a good relationship with Dorgon in private, explained to Ama why the two white banners are strong and strong.

"Fourteenth brother, Prince Li asked you the question. I'm afraid that the banner masters, princes, and ministers Baylor planned to ask you. When you were in North Korea that day, it was you and the fifteenth brother who had the best food in the two white flag camps, and the morale of the generals. The most exciting. I also asked you many times about this matter that day. You told me that a merchant from the South China Sea shipped some salt, wine, cloth and food to you. You also promised me that after returning to Shenyang, you will let me The servants under the banner are going to invite the South China Sea businessman to come to me to discuss the matter of trade, I wonder if there will be a result today?"

"I'll go to you, you bastard born to Meng Guzhe of the Yehe tribe!" Dorgon greeted Huang Taiji's mother in his heart, knowing that if he didn't tell about Li Peiting today, the rest of the Six Banners might be in Huang Taiji's house. Under the teasing, he became enemies with his three brothers.

He was about to speak politely to Huang Taiji and Dai Shan, the old fox, to make a fool of himself, to put the matter away, but Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge also smiled and opened his mouth.

"Uncle Fourteen, the slaves under my Zhenglan flag boasted that the refined fine salt, shochu, and spices in your Liangbaiqi camp are as rare as heaven and earth. I tried it in Yizhou that day, and it was better than white boiled meat." It’s delicious. My nephew also wants to get some more to give to the servants today. Uncle Fourteen just needs to make it easier!”

"Exactly! It's better to ask Lord Rui to make it easier!"

"Lord Rui!"

Under Hauge's deliberate leadership, the ministers and generals of the Two Yellow Banners, the ministers and generals of the Zhenglan Banner, and the princes of the Two Red Banners, Baylor, who wanted to improve the quality of life, also joined forces with Yuetuo, Shuotuo, Adali, Dudu and others. Under the leadership of the leader, they asked for help from the Dorgon brothers.

All of a sudden, the crowd was raging. All the banner masters and lords, whoever had Niulu slaves in their hands, stared at Dorgon and Duoduo brothers with red eyes.No wonder.widening gap in living standards.These banner owners have already felt the danger.

"There is indeed a merchant from the South China Sea who is a guest at the house, and he will never abandon him. He also gave some items to my brothers as gifts."

Seeing this, Dorgon simply became a bachelor.He openly admits that there are indeed such people as guests in his mansion.but.It's just a guest.

"Then. If Prince Rui didn't call him to come and make a pilgrimage in front of His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely give him great benefits. It's like giving to Shanxi merchants that day!"

Seeing that Dorgon admitted that there was such a person amidst the calls of all the banners, Hauge couldn't help but feel very proud, and his words were not so respectful.

Who is Dorgon?

Back then, he was named the Daiqing of Morgan. What does that mean?Smart King!It has the same meaning as his title of Prince Rui.What's more, the three brothers who have lost their father and mother for so many years and hold a lot of wealth and population in their hands are surrounded by a group of grown-up brothers who are staring at the ten-year-old population in their hands. Military power is like an orphan walking among thieves with gold in his hand. To survive in such an environment, what kind of ghostly tricks have you never seen?What kind of intrigue scenes have not experienced?Although the age is younger than Hauge, but in terms of mind and political means, even three Hauge tied together may not be the opponent of Dorgon alone!What's more, there is a Duoduo beside him?

"Prince Su's words are not right. The Shanxi businessman is covered with copper stink purely for the sake of his calligraphy; this man is quite different from him. There are some entanglements. How can you call around at will? Abrupt and wise?!"

"That's right! Then Mr. Li is our guest, not our slave!"

Duduo's words hit Hauge invisibly, but Hauge couldn't hear it, but the old fox beside him, Prince Li Daishan, and Fan Wencheng, a bachelor of the Third Academy of Internal Medicine, smelled it: Our brothers are also with your father and son. It's just doing things together, and it's the capital of the two flags!We are a partnership, not slaves of your father and son!

Regarding the changes that have taken place in the two white flags in the past few months, Daishan has also learned a lot through the channels of his sons and grandchildren and slaves. Taking advantage of the trade with merchants in the South China Sea, the internal unity of the two white flags has been unprecedentedly united, and even the coated Ahas left one by one. They all come out full of chest and belly.In addition, Yu Ding, Bao Yi and others in the banner are organized according to the ranks of Niulu, Shideku, and strength, which is equivalent to invisibly expanding the number of soldiers and horses, and is no longer subject to the limit of [-] soldiers per Niulu.

But with such an approach, the Huangtai chicken couldn't say anything.Why, I am a banner master, and I let my soldiers and servants train according to the art of war and formation, so that I can fight against the Ming Dynasty in the future. Is this also wrong?

Therefore, Fan Wencheng had made up his mind a long time ago, and today he must help his master completely eradicate the hidden dangers brought by the South China Sea merchants to the Qing Dynasty!If you can, you might as well turn waste into treasure, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.Let this sea merchant become another channel for replenishing supplies in the hands of the master!

"Fifteenth brother is right. For such a sage, not to mention his relationship with us in the Qing Dynasty, we can't use worldly affairs to restrain him. Prince Rui, can this be done today? The matter is over, tomorrow I and all the kings and ministers will visit your mansion to visit this Mr. Li, can you? I also want to bother you about your good wine and meat! That day at the Hanjiang camp, Hukou sent the strong man from your camp Wine, I still miss it very much!"

"Your Majesty, it's not that this servant and others are trying to evade it. It's just that early this morning, the housekeeper at home told this servant that Mr. Li saw the spring is getting stronger and he was very excited about traveling. I’m going to travel there for a few days.”

"Forget it! Now that the weather is getting warmer, it's the so-called dry grass, eagle's eyes, snow and horses' hoofs. I wait for the Eight Banners soldiers and horses to go fishing and hunting by the Hun River, and I will not forget my true colors as a Manchurian soldier!"

"Your Majesty. In the past, King Wen traveled by the Weishui River and met the Grand Duke, who established the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty for 400 years. Today, the Emperor is here for my Qing Dynasty. He has a trip to the Hun River, and when he is fishing and hunting, he can be assisted by sages. An auspicious sign!"

Bao Chengxian on the side stepped forward and patted Huang Taiji flatteringly.

"What kind of virtue do I have, how can I presumptuously compare myself with the ancient sages and sages? However, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, this thirst for talents can be compared with the sages."

He happily enjoyed Bao Chengxian's flattery.In the mouth, Huang Taiji still wants to act like he is for the country and the country.

present.The Lords of the Eight Banners, Baylor, went back to their homes to inspect their troops, and they were going to go out to shoot, hunt and fish tomorrow.

That night, after dinner, Huang Taiji was flipping through historical records under an oil lamp.From time to time, I find relevant histories from the Zizhi Tongjian and 24 histories for comparison.

He concealed his nervousness by reading a book.The Korean War.Although very rewarding.But the strength of the Two White Banners has expanded beyond his imagination, and he plans to organize King Sanshun's Han army into Eight Banners, which he will directly command.At the same time, ministers of state affairs were added to each banner, and then the power of the banner master Baylor was divided among each banner, and sand was mixed and wedged inside each banner.Prevent each flag from becoming bigger.

Ba Yala Angbang Zhangjing Wubai beside him came in from the door.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Fan is here. He said there is something urgent to report. See you?"

The Mr. Fan he was talking about was Fan Wencheng who was known as the descendant of Fan Zhongyan.

"Mr. Fan is here?! Please!"

After hearing Wu Bai's biography, Huang Taiji hastily put down the book in his hand and got down from the kang. Because he sat cross-legged for a long time, his legs became numb for a while, and he staggered and almost fell down.Fan Wencheng, who came in from the outside, hurriedly stepped forward to support Huang Taiji's nearly 200-jin body, which prevented the fat black man from falling to the ground.

"Ah! I'm old! I'm useless! I used to be on horseback for several days when I fought north and south with my father Khan, and I never felt so tired." He laughed at himself.

"The emperor is worried about state affairs, and works day and night, which makes him feel tired. Back then, he only needed to defeat the enemy facing him, but now he has to think about everything. How can he not feel tired?"

Fan Wencheng's words touched Huang Taiji's worries and thoughts without any seriousness.However, as a monarch, Huang Taiji is not willing to let his courtiers understand his heart too much.It is so easy to create an opportunity for the courtiers to take advantage of.

"It's late at night, sir, didn't you come to talk to me about something?"

"During dinner, Fan Sanba, the eldest son of the Fan family in Shanxi, visited the servant's home. Seeing that the servant's family was preparing for the servant's going out to the city for fishing and hunting tomorrow, when he learned that he wanted to see Mr. Li from Nanhai, he informed the servant!"

"say something?"

Huang Taiji didn't care much about Fan Sanba's visit and report.

In his view, this is just a means for businessmen to fight each other.Or, such a situation is also what he would like to see.

"According to Fan Sanba, this person, Li, suddenly appeared in Shengjing City. When he saw Prince Rui's brother, he might be planning something."

"Planning what?" Huang Taiji's black face became darker and darker.

"The origin of this person is unknown. Moreover," Fan Wencheng took a peek at Huang Taiji's expression, trying hard to recall the information in Fan Sanba's words in his mind, and then quickly reinterpreted the words and phrases that Huang Taiji could understand. The combination said it to him.

"Before this person was in Guangzhou. According to local businessmen, he bribed a large number of officials in Guangzhou and sold sugar, cloth, etc. to the hinterland of Guangdong and Guangxi at extremely low prices.

However, in what Fan Sanba told Fan Wencheng, he consciously concealed a large part of the information.If you tell the truth, tell Huang Taiji that because Li Peiting sold a large amount of rice to Guangdong, the price of food in Guangdong and Guangxi fell, and the people rose up to fight against the grain and tax. Huang Taiji may not even be able to wait for this night, and will see this overnight Mr. Lee.

What's more, because of the massive import of Nanzhong ironware, the collective bankruptcy of Foshan's iron smelting industry led to the collective bankruptcy of the iron smelting industry in Foshan. Tens of thousands of people either held their own weapons and became thieves, or simply floated south to the source of the disaster. In the Nanzhong area of ​​China, I tried to use my craft to earn a meal for myself.

If this Mr. Li imports salt, grain, ironware, and cloth into Liaodong in large quantities like he did in Guangzhou, at such a low cost and price that he purely ships by sea, the Shanxi merchant group represented by Fan Yongdou and others may immediately Kicked out of the Liaodong market!

These matters are all the result of discussions among the Fan family, Huang family, and Wang family. What can be said and what can't be said has been carefully deliberated.

"That's all?" Huang Taiji's face turned from cloudy to clear again.

"He messed up his southern barbarians. What has he got to do with me? Besides, this person has some skills and abilities! He can make the two provinces of the Ming Kingdom stand still without a single soldier or a single shot. Becoming warlike, this ability, I think I don't have it!"

"However, Fan Sanba said the most important thing!"

Fan Wencheng's face became a little dignified.

"Master, do you still remember the two defeats my Qing soldiers suffered on the banks of the canals in the Jingji area of ​​the Ming Dynasty last year? According to Fan Sanba, from the situation grasped by Shanxi merchants, the defeat of Xianghongqi Mongolia, Xianghongqi Manchuria, and Zhengbaiqi The Southern Barbarian army of various tribes in Manchuria has an inexplicable relationship with this Li from the South China Sea!"

"Master, do you still want to go out of the city to go fishing and hunting in the Hun River tomorrow morning?"

Seeing Huang Taiji pacing back and forth in the room, walking faster and faster, Fan Wencheng asked him with some fear.

"The decree has been made, and there is absolutely no reason not to go. You go back and tell the young masters of the Fan family that I am very grateful to them and ask them to find out the origin of Mr. Li. In addition, I heard that Nanzhong has always been The products are rich, and they also produce fine iron, weapons, guns, etc. The Nanzhong Army is powerful and well-equipped, no less than the Zhejiang soldiers in the Hunhe River! Even I admire it! Let them use it The convenience of trade, come here to take a peek, if you can get me something urgently needed in the army, gold and silver property, official rewards, I have plenty here!"

"Then, what about tomorrow?"

"The soldiers and horses of each banner have already moved, and there is no way to cancel it. Just play by ear."

After sending away Fan Wencheng, Huang Taiji saw that the Ba Yala soldier Ang Bangzhangjing and Wu Bai were still standing in armor and holding their swords, and Huang Taiji's heart suddenly moved.

"Wu Bai, don't stay on duty with me anymore, take my command arrow and lead my Ba Yala soldiers out of the city first, and then I will send people to pick up three Jiala soldiers and horses to join you outside the city , belongs to your command and dispatch!"

"Master, what do you want the slave to do?"

"Tomorrow's affairs, you must make more preparations. You can make the soldiers and horses ready, follow my will, and if something goes wrong, do it immediately!"

Wu Bai kowtowed to receive Huang Taiji's command arrow, and took the order to leave.

It was already late at night, and the city of Shenyang became dotted with lights, and the mansions everywhere were full of busy scenes, countless people were preparing for tomorrow's fishing and hunting out of the city. (to be continued..)
