Chapter 70 Nurhaci is furious
Hetuala.
Before occupying Liaoyang of the Ming Dynasty, Nurhaci and other Eastern captives could only curl up in the less prosperous city of Hetuala, like savages, wearing tiger skins, eating barbecue without salt in this cold winter, drinking snow water without tea, and discussing next year's military policy strategy.
However, at this time, Nurhaci and others had not yet swallowed up the ambitions of the entire Ming Dynasty, and most of the discussions were about how to expand their living space.
The first person to speak was Li Yongfang, the border general of the Ming Dynasty who surrendered to Nurhaci.
Because Li Yongfang was a Han Chinese and was a border general of the Ming Dynasty before surrender, he naturally had connections with many local military towns in Liao.
What Nurhaci wants now is to maintain a good relationship with the local military towns in Liao.
Li Yongfang reported to Nurhaci at this time: "Khan, the slave has learned the exact news from Li Ruzhen and others. The Liaodi Army Town is willing to keep in touch with us and promised that when there is a chance in the future, he will still smuggle the things we need. However, Xiong Tingbi is currently the manager, and this person is firm in the clearing of the country and has strict personal investigations. Even the refugees can only live outside the city! Therefore, it is very difficult to fund our food and grass. However, the Liaodi Army Town and Jindi merchants are actively encouraging the "Liao people defending Liaodi Land" strategy! Once this strategy is implemented by the Ming court, the Liaodi Army Town can get money and grain alone."
"If this is true, it will be a good thing. Once the Liaodi Army Town gets money and food alone, it will not wipe out us. It will secretly help us to respect ourselves, otherwise they will not be able to ask for money and food from the Ming court!"
Nurhaci nodded, and as he said, he summed up the situation during this period. He couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "During this period, Xiong Tingbi has been sitting in the Liao territory, so that we cannot enter the land of size, so that we cannot get food and other things, and countless livestock have been frozen to death. If this continues, we will probably freeze to death and starve to death!"
After Nurhaci said this, the four major belles and five ministers, who are the core power circle of the Donglu, all showed displeasure.
After all, during the period when Xiong Tingbi was serving as the governor in Liaodong, they did make their lives miserable. They couldn't get anything, and they couldn't even smuggle even if they wanted to, and their lives were getting worse and worse.
"What my father Khan said is that Xiong Tingbi's stay in Liaodong caused us a lot of trouble. We had hoped that the Donglin Party would get rid of Xiong Tingbi, but this is not to say that Xiong Tingbi cannot be eliminated, because Xiong Tingbi has long caused dissatisfaction among the Liaodong Military Town and many civil servants and the dissatisfaction of the merchants in Jin Dynasty. It's just that there has not been a chance to get rid of him yet. Judging from the slaves, Xiong Tingbi will sooner or later come down from the position of Liaodong's governor!"
Huang Taiji, one of the four major belles, analyzed it.
"Now I just hope that the strategy of 'Liao people defending Liao territory' can really be used by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Then I, Dajin, can still take a breath!"
He Heli, one of the five founding ministers under Nurhaci, started talking at this time.
Nurhaci nodded his head.
But at this time, another traitor and who had become Nurhaci's son-in-law, Liu Aita ran in: "Father Khan, the son-in-law of his son just brought back the news that he had come from the Ming Dynasty. It is reported that Emperor Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty had issued an edict to appoint Qin Liangyu as the general officer of Shenyang to replace You Shigong, appointed Chen Ce as the general officer of aiding Liao, led the wolf soldiers to Liao, and led the Sichuan soldiers to Liao, promoted You Shigong and the deputy general Qi Jinguan, and ordered him to return to Beijing to report his duties."
Nurhaci fell silent after hearing Liu Aita's words.
The whole house suddenly became very quiet, and only the explosion sounds made when wet wood burned.
Everyone was just biting the barbecue with a very strong smell in their hands.
Bang!
Sudden.
Nurhaci suddenly stood up, his tiger skin shook, and kicked the wooden basin filled with firewood to the ground, splashing countless bright red sparks.
For a moment, Nurhaci bit his cheeks tightly and grinned, "Damn it!"
At this time, Da Beile Daishan, one of the four major benefactors, hurriedly asked: "Father Khan! Qin Liangyu, Chen Ce, and Tong Zhongkui are just generals of the guest army and have no reputation. There are many deputy generals of the Ming court who were annihilated by us. Why is Father Khan so excited?"
Nurhaci glanced at Dai Shan and said angrily: "I am angry with him, Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Ming court! This man humiliated me, Dajin, and used him as a thief for training troops! I Dajin had 40,000 troops at least, and he didn't care at all! It's really hateful!"
Nurhaci clenched his fists as he said, feeling a sense of aggrievance that he was not looked down upon by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.
He Heli frowned and said, "In this way, it is impossible for the Liao people to defend Liao territory. The Emperor Ming Dynasty still used the strategy of transferring the guest army to Liao to fight against our Great Jin! The Donglin Party, Shanxi merchants, the Liaodong Military Town, and our ideas have all been shattered!"
As he said that, He Heli looked at Nurha equ and said, "Khan! From this perspective, this new emperor of the Ming court is not such a stupid emperor, not as simple as the kind of emperor who is good at the hands of women in the deep palace as Ming court officials said."
Then, He Heli looked at the other Baylors and ministers with a serious expression: "Now, Dajin should be the most difficult time since we started the army! We still have to rely on our flags to unite and work together."
Eyidu, one of the five ministers, said to Nurhaci: "Khan, in this way, we can no longer hope to break the Ming court city in the short term. We should focus on getting food in the surrounding villages. If appropriate, we can only go to the Yehe tribe first or go directly to North Korea to get food! After all, what we lack most now is food, salt and other items!"
"Well, I'm right. Last year, Xiong Tingbi strengthened the walls and cleared the fields, and we didn't capture Shenyang and Liaoyang, which caused everyone to be short of food and had a difficult life. I thought I could rely on the Donglin Party to bring Xiong Tingbi down. As a result, the Ming Dynasty emperor refused to let Xiong Tingbi down, which forced everyone to spend this winter hungry. But there is still spring famine. If we can't get food again, a large number of people will really starve to death. This year, we won't fight the big city, and we will mainly go to the surrounding areas to harvest grain."
Nurhaci started talking at this time.
Huang Taiji suddenly said: "Father Khan, for my son, the current dilemma of our Dajin is only temporary. The situation that the Liao people could not be implemented by the Ming court is only temporary, because according to my son's understanding of the Central Plains dynasty and the bureaucratic gentry of the Ming court, they would not accept that the Ming court turned the Liaodong war into a war of attrition, because it would cost more money, and the Ming court emperor would have to increase taxes, and the bureaucratic gentry would have to take out more money and grain for military pay!
Therefore, they must have tried every means to urge the court to resolve the Liao incident as soon as possible. If it cannot be resolved as soon as possible, they would rather let the Ming court give up the place outside the pass! They would not be willing to let the Ming court spend money to fight the war!
In other words, these Han bureaucrats and gentry only accept the way of quickly resolving wars or simply giving up their worthless territory!
Therefore, my sons think that we should try our best to urge these Han bureaucrats and gentry to force their emperor to resolve the Liao affairs as soon as possible and let their emperor adopt the strategy of "the Liao people defend the Liao territory" as soon as possible. We can send people to walk within the Ming court, rumor that what we fear most is the local cavalry in Liaodong, and even only concentrate our forces to make the enemy defeat the enemy army, but try to show the defeat in front of the Liao army as much as possible to confuse the Ming court!
