Chapter 154 Continue to molest development
Xiao Bozhi is gone, but there is an explosion within Jianzhou.
"Father! Nanmanzi is so rude! Why not just put up a flag!"
"Yes, Khan! The Southern Barbarians humiliated us too much. We can bear it this time, we can bear it twice. Are we going to bear it like this for the rest of our lives?"
In the meeting hall of Hetuala, below Nurhachi, on the right are Chu Ying, Daishan, Mang Gurtai, Huang Taiji, Amin and other nephews. On the left are Fei Yingdong, E Yidu, Hu Erhan, He Heli, An
Fei Yanggu and other generals. For a moment, the conference hall with only a dozen people erupted in a loud voice, which was so powerful that it blew the roof off.
Among this angry crowd, except for Nurhaci who was sitting in the main seat with a gloomy face, Huang Taiji was the only one who sat quietly on his chair and said nothing.
After everyone's anger was vented, Nurhachi raised his hand and pointed at the eighth prince: "Huang Taiji, tell me, can we put up the flag now?"
"If you go back to Father Khan, you can't."
"Eighth brother! What nonsense are you talking about again? Let me tell you, when that barbarian Xiao Bozhi was at the border, you shouldn't have stopped the second brother and asked him to give him a beating. He would have become more honest."
Ignoring Mang Gurtai, who was dressed like a ball and sloppy, Nurhaci continued: "Tell me, why not?"
"The Ming Dynasty is not in ruins yet, and our strength is not strong enough."
"Eighth brother, this time I'm going to say something wrong with you! Aren't the Southern Barbarians bad enough? Look at these Southern Barbarians in Liaodong, whether it's Tieling, Fushun or Kuandian, who among their generals is not greedy for money? Just say that.
Xiao Bozhi, when he first came to Hetuala, he was blowing his beard and making all kinds of criticisms, but when we sent the woman to his room, didn't his tone of voice become much softer the next day?"
"Yes, eighth brother. Xiao Bozhi can't explain much, but if you look around, none of the generals in Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty are not rich in clothes and fine food. But what do their soldiers eat? What do they wear? Except for a few
The servants are just a bunch of poor ghosts, starving to death! We did have a tight life in Jianzhou, but who from the father down can't share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers? Isn't there a saying among the Han people? The one who shares the same desires will win! Now it's us
Occupying this sentence, Nanmanzi is getting further and further away from this sentence!"
"Eighth brother." Mang Gurtai, who had the best personal relationship with Huang Taiji in private, also stood up and patted Huang Taiji on the shoulder: "In addition to what the two brothers said, have you forgotten? We also have friends from Japan who have given us gifts.
Here comes the new iron cannon!"
"Haha." Huang Taiji was not angry at being snatched away by his three brothers. He stood up and smoothly let his shoulders get rid of Mang Gurtai's uneven nails, nail grooves and various black spots on his fingers.
His right hand was covered with an unknown substance. Then he revealed his two white hands from the thick sleeves, and he cupped his hands to everyone according to Han etiquette: "Father, brothers, uncles, just now the eldest brother, the second brother, the fifth brother,
What I said makes sense. But if we set up the flag at this time, the old commander is still there in the west. The Kuandian army in the south is completely different from the beggar soldiers in the Liaodong border wall."
Because he did not abandon Kuandian, he was not impeached on a large scale. Therefore, at this moment, Li Chengliang is still firmly sitting in the position of the commander-in-chief of Liaodong.
Lao Li is already eighty-four years old this year, and he cannot ride a horse at all. However, the population of Liaodong Town has exceeded four million at this time. As long as Lao Li is here, with his prestige in Liaodong for many years, it is really necessary to
If you risk your life, you can easily arm 100,000 people to fight against Jianzhou, and these people will fight seriously!
And what about Jianzhou? There are only about 300,000 to 400,000 people, and a maximum of 40,000 to 50,000 troops can be mobilized.
As we all know, the basic political and military system of the Jurchens in Jianzhou or later the Jin Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty was the Eight Banners, and the basic unit in the Eight Banners was Niulu. This is the name of a very ancient Jurchen social organization.
In the process of Nurhachi's army raising and growing, he transformed Niulu, a basic Jurchen social unit. For every 300 soldiers, one Niulu Ezhen was assigned, five Niulu were assigned one Jia La Ezhen, and five Jia La were assigned to
A Gushan Ezhen - Gushan is the largest unit, because each Gushan has a flag of a different color, so Gushan Ezhen is the flag.
At this point in 1610, Nurhachi had completed the establishment of the four red, blue, white and yellow banners. Theoretically, there were twenty-five Niulu under each banner, and each Niulu could provide 300 soldiers. So the establishment at this time
The state can mobilize 30,000 people to fight.
But the actual situation is that due to years of conquests and plundering, the actual population under Jianzhou's control has far exceeded the theoretical establishment of a 'banner'. For example, the Zhenghuang Banner currently led by Nurhaci has
Forty-five Niulu, this banner alone can provide 13,500 soldiers.
In short, at this time in Jianzhou, the Four Banners had already overflowed, but the expansion into Eight Banners was obviously not enough. If it was really fully mobilized, it would probably be able to send out 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers.
Obviously, Jianzhou like this has no chance of winning against Liaodong, which will never go its own way under the command of Lao Li. Not to mention that Jianzhou has an extremely unusual and powerful army like Kuandian behind it at this time.
"As for the new iron cannon that the Japanese friends gave us that Brother Wu mentioned just now, well, I must admit that this thing is really useful. But how many such things do we have? Only 2,000 iron cannons, and the ammunition has only been stored so far.
One hundred thousand rounds. This small inventory will be gone in one battle. And once we set up the flag, how can we completely defeat the Ming Dynasty in one battle? Moreover, the slaves we sent to the south have already sent back a report, saying that they are Kuandian.
The Nanmanzi also have such iron cannons, and when they practice them, the ammunition seems to be unlimited..."
After Huang Taiji made such a detailed analysis, everyone who had just roared and shouted to raise the flag lowered their heads one after another.
Nurhaci, who was sitting in the main seat, finally stood up at this time: "Lao Ba just spoke very well. You should always learn from Lao Ba and read more Han people's books. Isn't it mentioned in the Commentary on the History of the Three Kingdoms?
Is there such a story? Liu Xuande took Lu Bu in, but when he went to fight, Lu Bu attacked Xuzhou, and his wife and daughter also fell into the hands of Lu Bu. Then what did Liu Xuande do? He returned to Lu Bu and let Lu Bu take over.
Xuzhou, and accepted Lu Bu's charity, and settled in Xiaopei... What was the final result? Liu Xuande said a word to Cao Mengde, and Lu Bu was killed. Therefore, only those who can endure what others cannot endure can achieve success in the end.
Big deal! Facing the shameless and greedy Nanmanzi, we have endured it for more than 20 years. I firmly believe that our endurance will not be too long! One day, we will have to pay back all the insults we have suffered in these decades.
Give whatever is left over to the Nanmanzi!"
"Father Khan (Great Khan) is wise! We will surely see the day when we can avenge ourselves and eliminate our shame!"
"Of course, although we have to be patient now, we are not doing nothing. Huang Taiji, you have to entertain Mr. Yagyu from Japan. Winter is coming and there are few people in the wild. It is a good time for us to step up the training of the iron artillery unit.
.You need to ask Mr. Yagyu to contact Japan and send us the next batch of ammunition as soon as possible. It would be better if they could also send one or two of the legendary large barrels. For this, I am preparing
I bought the best agate pearls, wild ginseng and bear paws. Didn’t the Tokugawa general of the Japanese shogunate like to raise eagles? My sea agarwood among black mountains and white waters is the most beautiful! This winter, I will find a way to give Tokugawa
The general will send two over."
"Scum, father, son will definitely handle this matter well."
"Besides, it's already winter now. When everyone has nothing to do, we go down to each Niulu to boost morale and train the soldiers. When spring comes next year, we will go north to Ula. I gave him such a gift for Buzhantai.
I have given many opportunities to marry my most cherished daughter to him, but he still flirts with Ye He. This time, we must completely eliminate Ula and catch that abominable Bu Zhantai!"
"Scum, slaves (sons) and others will obey the orders of the Great Khan!"
"The last thing I want to say is that what you just realized is absolutely correct. That is, the Southern Barbarians are basically ruined. Among other things, several censors in Beijing accept the silver and mountain goods we send every year.
.He Heli, this year you should go to Peiping to pay New Year greetings to the group of southern barbarian officials we support, and ask them to write a letter to impeach that Xiong Barbarian in Kuandian!"
