Chapter 1204 The Phantom of Northern Xinjiang in Gengzi Volume
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 ancient ancient buildings to the north Important places such as Lezhai and Ma'erdun were built along the banks of the Suzi River, until Jiefanzhai entered the Hun River to the west, facing Fushun across Sarhu.
The decision to build the Khan City in Hetuala was based on many considerations. Although Crow Falcon Pass still points a dagger directly at Hetuala, everyone knows that the current Great Zhou no longer has 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 the Jurchens one day 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 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.
The 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 Dazhou, 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 Da Zhou had given such a blow to the Jianzhou Jurchen anywhere, it would have penetrated deep 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. However, she wears a set of specially-made 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, the Jianzhou Jurchens 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 Nurhaci 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 couldn't help but speak.
Nurhachi glanced at the other party coldly and ignored Chu Ying. He could not stand the eldest son more and more now. 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 didn't 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 for the next two years to help them survive the difficult period of these two years." It can gradually take effect.”
Nurhaci 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 pieces of land, but also to allow them to survive in the past two years.
"This is a difficult problem." Nurhaci 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 it." Eryi hesitated for a moment.
"Oh?" Nurhachi's eyes lit up. He 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. Gwanghae 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 there were internal chaos in Japan, its shogun system has gradually stabilized, and its hostility towards the Zhou Dynasty has not diminished, and it still has some intentions, so it This time they launched an attack on the Jiangnan side..."
Er Yidu said so much in one breath, his breathing was a little short, and after a pause he said: "As far as the current situation is concerned, both North Korea and Japan have doubts and hostility towards Da Zhou. 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 arrogant and 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 not for the intervention of the Great Zhou Dynasty, North Korea might have perished, but now this leader seems more tolerant, but his ambition has not changed."
He Heli couldn't help but interrupt.
"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. At the same time, he felt that Anfei Yanggu and Fei Ying Dong and the others were dissatisfied with his 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..."
Nurhachi 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 rebuke him, so he could only say coldly: "The Japanese are also cunning. How can people 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 become deer, they cannot blame us. He has become a deer hunter, and my son believes that the Japanese think the same way.”
Daishan also vaguely felt that his father Khan had complicated emotions towards him, and 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.
Nurhaci was noncommittal, "The food problem must be solved. After we come 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 Where are some of the grains 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." Nurhachi 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 from the mouths of people in the hall, but Nurhaci didn't look happy at all. "Okay, there's 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 Are you 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."
