Chapter 315 Farming War
He Heli said: "Last year, Ye He was conquered, and this year, the flag managers were mainly engaged in warfare, and there was insufficient manpower during farming."
Fei Yingdong said: "Since summer last year, there has been very little rain. This winter is cold and there has not been a drop of rain after spring. Fields near water can still divert water. Fields far away water can reduce production by more than 50%. The seedlings wither and the wheat ears are shriveled."
Although He Heli was an old-fashioned hero, he was under the two red flags at this time. Dai Shan also bowed and said, "Khan Ama, what the ministers said is true. I went to Kuandian to see it, and it was all the same."
Nuerhaci recalled that, indeed, from last winter solstice, almost a rain had not been falling for several months. At that time, he was planning to eliminate Yehe's troops, and then attacked Ming again, and seized Liaodong and Liaonan. Of course, under such a grand strategy, Nuerhaci was worried during that time and had almost no other matters. Otherwise, with his decision to stop government affairs today, such a disaster would have been known long ago.
"It's amazing." Nuerhaci recalled most of his life and shook his head and said, "I have never seen such a time of continuous destruction for many years!"
In the past, the Jurchens were fishing and hunting people, and they used fishing and hunting to make a living by making fishing and hunting. In modern society hundreds of years later, there were still a few Tungus people living in the polar regions and dense forests, eating raw venison, living in snow houses, and companionship with sleds and dogs. This is a true portrayal of the Jurchens.
After surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, they obtained a fixed residence and could trade with farming ethnic groups like the Han people, and also learned to farm and buy oxen. Since the time of Nurhaci's grandfather, the Jianzhou Ministry has focused on farming and fishing as the auxiliary. Because of this, the Jianzhou Ministry's strength has become stronger and stronger, far surpassing the various tribes.
Nurhaci was of course very concerned about farming. Fishing and hunting were the basis of the tribe's force and used to exercise its military power. Only by farming could farming ensure that the Later Jin Dynasty had the national strength to launch a war. Without food, there would be no more tribes, and if they could not grow cotton, they would not produce cloth, and if they could not put their flag caps on their clothes, they would not have the capital to keep their soldiers away from the tribe to fight. Therefore, they would fight farming and fight, but in fact, farming was in war.
Huang Taiji stood up and said, "Ama, according to Fushun's essay, the same is true in the past few years, and the weather is extremely bad everywhere."
"What's the use!" Nuerhaci shook his head and said, "You can't imagine how big the Ming Kingdom is. I also know that the harvest on the nine sides of them is not good, but they can continuously recruit food from other places. The Ming people will not be short of food."
With Nuerhaci's experience of going to the Ming Dynasty many times, he was not wrong with this level.
No matter how many disasters the Jiubian encountered during the Little Ice River period, the soldiers in the capital and the Liao Town in Jizhen never had any worries about food shortages. Only the northern border towns suffered major disasters and the court's financial difficulties, so the supply of northwest border towns was quite insufficient. In other places, the utility was almost always sufficient.
The weak foreign war in Liao Town was almost all because the generals sucked blood and put more than 90% of the huge financial supply into the private gate. The imperial court was weak in control and had to let the general gate go. In fact, judging from the performance of the generals in Liaodong after the Qing army entered the pass, it was not without the power of fighting. Even so, it was the result of the private gate after the private gate. If millions of silver and grain were used in the Ming Dynasty a year were really used to raise soldiers, the Later Jin would have no chance at all.
In addition, what Nuerhaci could not imagine was the peasant uprising. Due to the disaster in the Nine Borders, small and medium-sized landlords in Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan went bankrupt, and peasants revolted one after another, which further exacerbated the loss of financial, manpower and material resources of the Ming Dynasty, resulting in the inability to fully respond to the crisis in Liaodong.
"There are always good times." Manguertai said carelessly when everyone looked solemn.
Huang Taiji glanced at his brother, feeling quite contemptuous. He said, "Do you know how much the food price of Sanbeile is now?"
Manguertai knew that his good brother had caught his foot in front of his father's Khan again. He said in a hint: "I don't know, even if it rises a little, it will always fall."
Huang Taiji raised two fingers and said, "It's already two taels per stone now. My subordinates always have to buy grain for food with silver. There is not too much difficulty now. Because the previous battles have won a lot of silver and wealth and distributed a lot. In a few months, the price of grain will not fall, and I'm afraid many of our subordinates will go hungry."
"What are you afraid of?" As if he was opened up his mind, he said in a bad voice: "The Han people are not Chinese. If life is better, they can support them and ask them to pay taxes. If the Chinese people can't live a life, would they still ask them to eat and drink enough to see our jokes? Then the time will rob their food!"
This is very ridiculous. Huang Taiji almost retorted on the spot. He was familiar with Han Shu and knew that governing the country was not that simple. If it were as Manguertai said, what was the use of occupying such a large territory? It would be better to learn from the Mongols and grab it every few years, which would save much trouble.
However, when Huang Taiji saw his father Khan, he nodded slightly. Dai Shan, Amin, Fei Yingdong and others all showed a thoughtful look. Although no one agreed with it, it was obvious that Mangourtai's speech this time was recognized by many people. Everyone thought that this method was very refreshing and could quickly solve the dilemma.
Only He Heli frowned and said, "Now there are many Han people who are poor, and the Han people are also suffering from disasters. There are many refugees and beggars. I, Dajin, give land to his subordinates, but I will not give land to Han people. This is also a big trouble."
Mangourtai was encouraged and said loudly: "What's the difficulty? What's the use of keeping the Han people without land and rice? Do you really ask our people to pay taxes to support them in wars? It's better to kill them."
"San Beile's words are reasonable."
This time, someone finally agreed, and there were many people who followed him.
Nuerhaci also frowned and thought. Recently, he issued a series of political orders, saying that as long as the Han people cooperated with the Jurchen rule, they would be treated as one. He also killed several Jurchens who killed Han people without orders, and used these unlucky heads to kill chickens and monkeys to prevent the Jurchens from massacring and looting everywhere and shaking the foundation of his rule in Liaodong and southern Liaoning.
However, since we are facing a food shortage, we can't let the Jurchens starve with the Han people, or the Jurchens starve, and the Han people eat so much that their people will think? The foundation of the rule of the Later Jin Dynasty was to use the slave owners of the Nuerhaci family plus the Eight Banners. If the Eight Banners are interfered, what is the use of millions of Han people really surrendering?
But at this time it is not the time to change the national policy, but only some fine-tuning can be made. For example, the granting of land by Nuerhaci is actually a disguised snatching land from the Han people. At the same time, he also ordered the Jurchen family to go to the Han village to choose Han families to live with him. One is to ask the Han people to support these conquerors, and the other is to use the Jurchens to monitor the Han people everywhere, killing two deeds.
Nuerhaci thought that all the measures had been in place. Now if he hunted and killed Han people in large quantities and robbed food, it was not necessary. At the same time, it was equivalent to slapping himself in the face, which greatly damaged his prestige. There was no need to do this.
He said to Mangourtai: "You should discuss with the Great Baylor or the Four Baylors in advance to avoid making absurd words."
Manguertai blushed and Nuonuo stepped down. The people who just agreed with him were also surprised. Everyone bent down, for fear of being scolded by Nuerhaci.
"However, the food shortage is also very important." Nuerhaci suddenly remembered something and said to Huang Taiji: "Is the Ming Han Shang, who had previously joined our country, named Zhang Han?"
Huang Taiji felt a stern and said, "It's exactly Zhang Han."
"Why haven't he moved yet?" Nuerhaci said with some dissatisfaction: "I came that day and said I was establishing a trade trade route. After years of going there, there was no movement. It seems that I can't count on it."
Huang Taiji bowed and said, "According to Fushun E, the latest news is that this person has won the business war with the big merchants, and has obtained the profits of trade smuggling in Tumot Mongolia alone. There is also news that his goods have been going north and the three Khalkha tribes outside of the Khalkha tribes outside of the Khalkha tribes, and then the five Inner Khalkha tribes that fry flowers, then the Arukorqin and Nenjiang Khalkha tribes. Only then can he reach the border between us and Mongolia. Khan Ama, the journey is too far, there are many tribes and different thoughts. Zhang Han is also a person with great perseverance. I believe he will come in the end."
Nuerhaci listened quietly to Huang Taiji's words. His mind was still very clear at this time and he did not lose his mind. After listening, Nuerhaci said, "It seems that I am a little misunderstood. Since this is the case, we can send some soldiers as vanguards to the territory of Korqin first, and wait for the various troops of Aohan Naiman to reconcile with us, and then send people to those departments. In this way, when the caravan comes, we can calmly lead to Liaodong."
"Rejoice Ama," Huang Taiji said calmly: "I have sent half of Niulu's men to the grassland, and I have stayed there for a long time to wait for news. If the caravan comes, I can also guard nearby. These people are led by Tan Tai and Shu Mu."
"Tan Tai can be a Niu Lu Ezhen, Shu Mu originally said that half Niu Lu has too few Dingkou. Please make up for one Niu Lu. Your subordinates are not enough. If there are savage Jurchens or Mongolians, first add Dingkou to your Zhengbai Banner."
Everyone was extremely envious. Huang Taiji was transferred out for help, but Nuerhaci was not angry or mind at all. Not only that, he also helped Huang Taiji to supplement the insufficient flag directors. Not to mention that ordinary little benevolent and Taiji brothers could not compare with each other, even the other three benevolents seemed to be inferior.
Dai Shan had no expression on his face, and Amin's eyes flashed, but Mangourtai looked angry.
Huang Taiji stood up to thank his father Khan. Of course, he also noticed the expressions of the three great belles. Among the three, the only one he feared the most was Daishan. Although Amin was gloomy, he lacked perseverance and was not the son of Nuerhaci. This level restricted his future. Manguertai was just a reckless man and was just as good as Abatai. Daishan was brave and brave enough to fight, decisively, and held two red flags, which was what everyone expected.
Dai Shan's expressionless face was of course not forgiving, but just that he had never taken Huang Taiji to heart.
Huang Taiji's eyes were calm and composed. He had already planned a way to deal with Dai Shan and would soon be implemented-
