But now that the Qing Dynasty had no food in its treasury, he could only ask these tribes to provide it, and the pasture had to wait until the war was over.

When is it now?

They were about to start a war with the Ming army. They also needed pasture and cattle and sheep. How could Huang Taiji get it for them?

Huang Taiji heard the complaints of various tribes, but he had no good solution. His three great counselors, Feng Chu and Fan Wencheng, left Shengjing to sort out government affairs; Wolong, Su Mingzhe couldn't stand the wind and cold on the grassland, and now he is sick, although Wolong

The husband tried his best to ask to stay, but how could he dare to let Su Mingzhe stay?

If Wolong of the Qing Dynasty died on the grassland, wouldn't his losses be huge?

So Wolong Su Mingzhe was sent to the back to recuperate.

At this time, the only one left beside Huang Taiji was Youlin Wei Gongchao.

Originally, Huang Taiji regarded Wei Gongchao as Xu Shu, but later he thought about it. Xu Shu was in the Cao camp and his heart was in the Han Dynasty. This connotation was unlucky, so he changed it to Youlin who loyally served Ji Han.

After all, Wei Gongchao was very loyal.

And now Youlin Wei Gongchao is not around either. He has gone to collect statistics on pasture herders and cattle and sheep. These things really need to be brought by the Han people. The Manchus are good at fighting, but they know nothing about government affairs.

The result is that Huang Taiji currently has no available advisers around him, but Huang Taiji is also the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty, so he still has some political skills.

So Huang Taiji summoned the leaders of various ministries, first treated them to a banquet of wine and meat, and expressed his apologies to them, saying that it was not that the brothers kept their word, but that the brothers were really in trouble at the moment.

This situation is almost destroyed by Ming Dynasty, and we really can't spare any space to divide the territory among the brothers. Why don't we all join forces and beat Ming Dynasty out first, and then everyone can sit down and divide the territory.

And Huang Taiji swore to God that as long as he defeated Cao Wenzhao, he Huang Taiji would keep his word. The cattle, sheep, and pastures all belonged to his good brothers. He Huang Taiji would not want anything, and the Mongols would still have the final say on the grassland.

These words temporarily calmed the hearts of these leaders. After all, they took refuge in the Qing Dynasty because they did not want to lose power in the Ming Dynasty.

Didn’t you see the fate of Balian Nayan, Balian Heba and Nadu Nayan Duerzan?

After taking refuge in the Ming Dynasty, the herdsmen may have lived a good life, but the leaders like them had to put their tail between their legs and live a good life.

But if you are used to being aloof, who wants to go back to being an ordinary person?

They are the leader, and they are not the same species as ordinary herdsmen, right?

It is precisely because of this that they are willing to swallow their anger and bring their sons, cattle and sheep to join Huang Taiji and help him fight the war.

Of course, if Huang Taiji loses, then they will have no choice but to join the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, we won’t blame Huang Taiji for not being brothers enough, but I hope Huang Taiji won’t blame them for not being brotherly.

Huang Taiji ordered the various Mongolian tribes at the foot of Saihan Mountain, and also transferred 20,000 Eight Banners troops from Liaodong, bringing the number of Manchu Eight Banners at the foot of Saihan Mountain to 40,000.

This number of Eight Banners soldiers has not been mobilized for a long time.

After all, when the old slave Nurhachi raided Yongding County, he only had 38,000 bannermen, and Huang Taiji raided Liaodong, but only 20,008 bannermen. Even when he fought against Lin Danbaltu in the Horqin Grassland, and in the decisive battle with Ruitu Taiji in Saihan Mountain,

There are only more than 20,000 Eight Banners soldiers.

But now, in order to deal with Cao Wenzhao, Huang Taiji successively mobilized 48,000 bannermen, which is enough to show the importance Huang Taiji attaches to Cao Wenzhao.

It's impossible not to pay attention to it. I originally thought that the Ming Dynasty was a centipede that was about to die. Who knew that a group of ruthless people suddenly appeared. Yuan Chonghuan from southern Liaoning, Sun Yuanhua from western Liaoning before, and Cao Wenzhao from Yongding County led their troops to capture Nurhaci alive.

Zhao Tiejun.

The Liaodong generals of the Ming Dynasty, who were originally regarded as a confidant by Huang Taiji, were in a state of decay, but none of these new Ming army generals should be underestimated.

Forty-eight thousand banner soldiers, as well as 25,000 Mongolian soldiers from various tribes in the Horqin Grassland who submitted to Huang Taiji, 30,000 from various tribes and alliances in the Chahar Grassland who submitted to Huang Taiji, plus 15,000 from other small tribes,

Huang Taiji gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses at the foot of Saihan Mountain!

After calculating this amount, Huang Taiji himself was shocked!

One hundred thousand troops!

An army of 100,000 soldiers with real swords and guns does not count the logistics!

As for the logistical pressure?

The Qing Dynasty is the big brother and has taken the lead in sending out troops. What's wrong with your Mongolian brother sending out more troops and more food?

Therefore, all the logistical pressure was placed on the Mongolian tribes who submitted to Huang Taiji.

One hundred thousand people and more than two hundred thousand horses eat horse chews. Even the Ming Dynasty would feel this pressure is heavy. Now it is all on these Mongolian tribes. It is like a mountain of heavy burden, which makes them miserable.

Seeing the tribe's grain cattle and sheep being taken away in batches, the grain originally saved for autumn and winter was eaten by the Manchus before the early spring passed, and then they began to eat their cattle, sheep, and lambs.

How can these already poor tribal herdsmen endure it?

Soon there was a tribe that couldn't stand such oppression. Their tribe had been squeezed so much that there was nothing left. Not only was there no food, but also no cattle and sheep. The entire tribe was empty, and the tribesmen were lying in the dome so hungry that they all woke up.

If they don't come, the whole tribe, including those men who want to fight with Huang Taiji, can still get food, while other tribesmen can only survive on the cheese from the tribe.

The leader himself couldn't stand it anymore. The numb and empty eyes of his tribesmen every day made him feel hairy, so he decisively took back his tribe's son and ran away with the entire tribe at night.

After this incident happened, Huang Taiji immediately became vigilant. If he goes to one tribe tonight and another tribe tomorrow night, within a few days, only his 48,000 bannermen will be left at the foot of Saihan Mountain. Without Mongolia,

Cannon fodder, how could he fight Cao Wenzhao?!

Sure enough, another tribe wanted to escape the next night, but they were blocked by Duduo, who was well prepared. In order to frighten other tribes who were ready to make a move, Duduo took his three thousand cavalry with blue flags and slaughtered this little tribe alive.

The tribe, the screams, howls, and the trampling of horse hooves made the tribe leaders summoned by Huang Taiji shudder.

After dawn, this tribe was slaughtered. The corpses of the entire tribe made the grassland dyed red, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. The Jingguan built with the head of a tribe severely frightened those who could not bear it.

A small tribe is burdened with the idea of ​​​​escape.

Duduo, who was covered in blood as if he had walked out of a sea of ​​blood, could no longer clearly see the color of the blue-flag cotton armor on his body. His face was covered in blood, and he strode to the big tent with the knife still dripping blood to revive Huang Taiji.

At the same time, he stared fiercely at the leaders of the various Mongolian tribes.

Huang Taiji was expressionless: "Everyone, I really treat you as brothers. Why do some people have to betray me?"

"I have promised you that after the war, I will give you pasture, cattle and sheep, and the entire grassland belongs to you. Why can't I endure this moment of patience?"

These leaders were so frightened by last night's massacre and Duduo's ferocity that they dared not speak. They sat on pins and needles in the big tent one by one, for fear of making Huang Taiji dissatisfied and being chopped off by Duduo.

Huang Taiji continued: "I regard all the leaders as brothers, and I am willing to share pastures, cattle and sheep with my brothers. Naturally, my brothers will also serve the Qing Dynasty. Isn't this reasonable?"

"Right now, not only the Qing Dynasty is threatened by the Ming Dynasty, but also your grasslands are threatened by the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty will rob your cattle and sheep, your herdsmen, and your pastures, leaving your tribe with no way to survive."

"I came all the way to the grassland to help you leaders. After all, whether it is the Manchus or the Mongols, we are all brothers. To put it bluntly, I am here for you, not for the Qing Dynasty.

We will fight in the Ming Dynasty."

"But now there are people who want to betray me. I am very sad. Leaders, do you think I can still trust you as my brothers?"
