Geng Scroll Chapter 154 The Phantom of Northern Xinjiang
Hetuala is located on the bank of the Suzi River, far opposite the Crow Falcon Pass of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The side wall of the Great Zhou Dynasty forms an eastward bulge at Crow Falcon Pass, and then shrinks back along the north and south, while a series of ridges on the north side
Important places such as Gule Village and Ma'er Dun were built along the banks of the Suzi River, until Jiefan Village flows into the Hun River to the west, facing Fushun across the Sarhu River.
The decision to build the Khan City in Hetuala was based on many considerations. Although Crow Falcon Pass was still pointing a dagger directly at Hetuala, everyone knew that the current Great Zhou no longer had the momentum to dare to step out.
The wall fought.
For the Jianzhou Jurchens, even if Hetuala is lost, it won't be a big deal. They don't care about it, but when one day the Jurchens have the strength to eradicate Crow Falcon Pass, Fushun Pass and Guangshun Pass in one fell swoop, they will
It will swallow up the entire land of the Great Zhou Dynasty east of the Liao River in one fell swoop.
This situation has slowly taken shape ten years ago, but it seems to have changed in the past two years.
A group of people got off their horses and kicked off their horses. The atmosphere was a bit solemn.
The joy of the Battle of Fushun seemed to be slowly dissipating. For the Jianzhou Jurchens, winning the battle was certainly a good thing and indeed brought great benefits. However, for the Zhou Dynasty, it was just like a mosquito bite.
It was like a mosquito bite. It might be painful and swollen, but it was far from damaging the vitality. But if Dazhou gave such a blow to the Jianzhou Jurchen anywhere, it would really penetrate into the bones, so I was not negligent at all.
No.
A group of people filed in surrounded by Nurhachi.
Nurhaci has slender eyes, a wide face and a straight nose. If you look at her appearance alone, you really can’t tell much about her. Compared with ordinary Jurchens, she just looks stronger. She only wears a set of special clothes.
, then naturally it will have a bit more so-called momentum.
The Great Khan's Mansion is located in the northwest corner of Hetuala City. Although Hetuala City has been built for many years, compared with the cities in the interior of the Central Plains, this city is simply extremely crude.
Even this building, which can be called the most luxurious and grand in the city, is just a large flower hall that can accommodate dozens of people. In terms of decoration, it is far from comparable to a real flower hall.
Nurhaci went straight to his seat with a gloomy face, and a group of people followed him in and took their seats on both sides.
At this time, Jianzhou Jurchen had not really formed a unified or comprehensive system. They followed the practices passed down decades ago. Even the important ministers and generals under their command and Nurhachi's sons did not have too strict rules.
, but Nurhachi still relies on his decades of iron fist and military exploits to firmly control this tribe that is rushing towards the tide.
“Father Khan, we have benefited a lot from the battle in Fushun. The Chahar people are in a disadvantageous situation in the south and have little impact on us. Why should we be so worried?” The atmosphere was too stagnant, but Chu Ying could not help but speak.
Nurhachi glanced at the other party coldly and ignored Chu Ying. Now he could not stand the eldest son more and more. He was arrogant and arrogant, and often spoke and acted without thinking. He was far less stable than Dai Shan and Huang Taiji.
In terms of bravery, Chu Ying is not bad, but Mang Gurtai is not inferior to him.
“Anfeyangu, you say.” Nurhaci did not like his sons to express their opinions on government affairs, and was more willing to listen to the opinions of Anfeiyanggu, Fei Yingdong and Eyidu.
"Although we captured tens of thousands of Han people in the Battle of Fushun, we Han people are good at cultivating mature land. Most of the land here is uncultivated wasteland and raw land. After these Han people come over, it will take at least two to three years to cultivate this land.
Marginal wasteland has been reclaimed, and it may be difficult to be self-sufficient in the first one or two years, which is the biggest difficulty."
Amfeyangu has obviously done careful research on this issue, "These Han people are not good at fishing and hunting. I'm afraid we will need to transport food from outside in the next two years to help them survive the difficult period of these two years."
It can gradually take effect.”
Nurhachi nodded, and Anfeiyanggu also spoke to his heart. It seems that this battle has gained a lot. Compared with the past, only three to five hundred or more than a thousand Han people have surrendered. It will not affect it. As long as they squeeze in a little,
It would have passed, but this time tens of thousands of people arrived.
In order for these Han people to stay and farm outside the customs in peace and contentment, I am afraid it is not just as simple as giving them a few emperors, but also to enable them to survive in the past two years.
The problem is that the food in Jianzhou Jurchen is also very scarce. Otherwise, there is no need to go to Dazhou every now and then to harvest grass and grain. But with a population of tens of thousands, this problem cannot be solved by simply going south to get a handful.
, and after Liaodong was attacked, I am afraid that the defense has been fully strengthened now, and it may not be that easy to go to the grass valley.
"This is a difficult problem." Nurhachi also felt a headache. So many Han people were finally captured with great difficulty. As long as they were allowed to stay on their own for a few years, they would quickly become obedient people under his rule. As for the land, there was so much outside the customs that he didn't even know much about it.
No matter how much rent the other party needs to pay, as long as they can grow more food and ensure their own use, that will be the greatest success.
“Perhaps there are other ways to solve the problem.” Eryi hesitated for a moment.
"Oh?" Nurhachi's eyes lit up. He Yidu was not in good health. Nurhachi was no longer willing to overwork the other party. "Whatever we can do, Eyidu, as long as we can do it."
"The Great Khan can actually be solved through North Korea or even Japan. The attitude of Mr. Guanghae in North Korea towards us has changed. If we put pressure on him, he will definitely be willing to sell grain to us. As for Japan,
The situation should be better. After the Imjin Japanese Rebellion, although Japan had internal chaos, its shogun system had gradually stabilized, and its hostility towards Zhou Dynasty had not diminished. It still had some intentions, so it
This time they launched an attack on the Jiangnan side..."
E Yidu said so much in one breath, his breathing was a little short, and he paused for a moment before saying: "As far as the current situation is concerned, both North Korea and Japan have doubts and hostility towards Zhou Dynasty. This is a good thing for us. In this case, we
It’s absolutely possible to cooperate in many aspects.”
"E Yidu, what you said makes sense, but there are still some differences between North Korea and the Japanese. North Korea still regards the Great Zhou Dynasty as its orthodoxy, and they are just being submissive to us due to the situation. On the contrary, the Japanese are very ambitious. They
The former leader launched a war against North Korea. If Zhou Dynasty had not intervened, North Korea might have been destroyed. But now this leader seems more tolerant, but his ambition has not changed."
He Heli couldn't help but interject.
"Father, what He Heli said is true." Although he did not get his father's approval, Daishan still seized the opportunity to show off. When he came back from the trip to the Great Zhou Dynasty, he gained a lot, and at the same time he felt that Anfei Yanggu and Fei Ying
Dong and others were dissatisfied with their brother Chu Ying, and it seemed that this also affected his father Han, which made him see an opportunity.
"But I think buying grain from North Korea shouldn't be a problem. As for Japan, we should actively contact them. By then, we can join forces. Maybe they just want to use us, but we need more time. This kind of cooperation will be beneficial to
Both sides are beneficial. The fertile land south of the Yangtze River in the Central Plains cannot be easily swallowed by either side. As long as Japan's ambitions are stirred up, it will definitely contain the energy of Zhou Dynasty..."
Nurhaci was a little displeased with Daishan's interruption, but Daishan's views won the approval of E Yidu, Fei Yingdong and others. Nurhachi could not reprimand him, so he could only say coldly: "The Japanese are also cunning.
How can someone like this be easily fooled?"
"Father Khan, this is not deceived. The Han people once said that if Qin loses its deer, the whole world will chase it away. The Han people regard us as frontier barbarians, but when they themselves have turned into deer, they cannot blame us.
He has become a deer hunter, and my son believes that the Japanese think the same way."
Dai Shan also vaguely felt that his father Khan had complicated emotions towards him, he was dissatisfied with Chu Ying, but he was a little encouraging and guarded against him. The same was true for Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji, which made him a little unsure about what his father was.
How to think about it.
Nurhachi was noncommittal, "The food problem must be solved. After we get down, you and He Heli will discuss how to solve part of it from Korea and Japan. In addition, there are still many loopholes to exploit on the Zhou side, even if it is
Feng Tang can control Liaodong Town, but what about Ji Town and Xuanfu Town? Those Zhou merchants are not restricted from coming in and out of Chahar and Horqin people, and even provide convenience for them. Can we pass
What about some of the grain they transferred from the Mongols?"
“Great Khan, if you do that, the cost will be very high.” Fei Yingdong couldn’t help but said.
"As long as we can get through these two years, everything will be worth it." Nurhaci waved his hand decisively, "We Jurchens can exchange anything. As long as there are people, everything can be taken back."
“The Great Khan is right.”
“The Great Khan is wise!”
A series of words of praise and support came out of the mouths of the people in the hall, but Nurhaci did not look happy at all. "Well, there is no need to say these words. We all know the difficulties we face, Chahar."
The southern expedition of the people and the Inner and Outer Khalkhas actually ended up with such a result. It was really beyond my expectation, especially the Inner Khalkha people. I didn't expect that this guy Zasai would become a disaster for us in a flash, and he
Is everyone aware of this relationship with Ye Hebu and Dazhou? It will bring a kind of encirclement restriction to the development of our Jianzhou Jurchens, even including the Jurchens in the East China Sea."
