Chapter 419: Soldiers besiege Daling City
Huang Taiji, who was extremely worried about Emperor Chongzhen, was also thinking about how to change the current situation and then attacked the dog emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
It is best to let the dog emperor recognize his dominance in Liaodong, otherwise he would always feel a bit unjust.
After thinking for a long time, Huang Taiji suddenly realized that it was all the troubles left by the dead Nurhaci.
Look at this broken absent, what are the Eight Kings' discussions on politics? Ben Khan's own rights must be distributed to eight people. If these eight people get together, they can still dismiss Ben Khan?
It's not right for him, I have to change it.
Moreover, Huang Taiji, who felt that he had a red cannon in his hand, thought that his guy was also hard enough, and there was no reason not to clean up and then wipe out the dog emperor.
So Huang Taiji simply brought Daishan, Amin, Manguertai, Ajige, Dorgon, Dodo and Jirhalang together to study the reform.
In fact, the so-called discussion is basically Huang Taiji's one-man show.
Daishan and Huang Taiji were not in the way, but after Dorgon made a move, Daishan hated Dorgon. The two of them gradually became rifty, and this was already the same as the same power.
Not to mention Amin, as the commander of Jianzhou in the Ming Dynasty, although he was secretly stubborn, Amin felt that a barbarian like Huang Taiji would do whatever he wanted. He just needed to report the news to the Ming Dynasty court, and he didn't have to worry about the rest.
As for Ajige and Dodo, they were on Dorgon's side. Even if Dorgon wanted to rebel now, the two would rebel without hesitation.
Dorgon temporarily got involved with Huang Taiji because of Bumubutai.
Jirhalang is the sixth son of Shu and Hachi. He should be closest to Amin. However, in fact, Jirhalang has lived in Nurhaci's palace since childhood and was raised by Nurhaci.
Therefore, Jirgalang had a good relationship with Nurhaci's sons, especially his relationship with Huang Taiji, and his relationship with Amin was just average.
It is precisely because of this that Jirhalang continued to be trusted and valued after Shurhazi and his eldest son Altona and third son Zasak were unable to rebel. Shurhazi was imprisoned until death, and Altona and Zasaktu were killed.
And the most unlucky one here should be Amin.
Inexplicably, he was almost killed by Lao Nu Nurhaci. Later, even though Huang Taiji and others insisted on pleading for the sake of winning people's hearts, half of their property was confiscated by Lao Nu.
So when Amin faced the contact between the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, he immediately turned to the Ming Dynasty. Jiannu's life was not easy. Huangtaiji was far worse than the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If he got along with the Ming Dynasty, he could realize his last wish of his dead father. It was a very cost-effective thing no matter how you look at it.
As for Mangourtai, although he was unhappy with Huang Taiji for a long time, he was suppressed so hard that he could not speak without saying anything.
Except for Daishan and Mangourtai, the eight major Belleryans were in the same mind. They all looked at Huang Taiji unhappy, and the rest had their own plans, but no one opposed them in the end.
Under such circumstances, the proposal of restructuring proposed by Huang Taiji was quickly passed by imitating the Han official system, setting up the Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, Ministry of Justice, and Ministry of Works.
Only in the matter of the Ministry of Personnel, except Huang Taiji, expressed opposition that the Ministry of Personnel is specialized in the management of officials, and now the officials are all their own members.
If Huang Taiji really made the matter of the Ministry of Personnel, if he didn't mix sand under his banner, it would be a ghost.
In the end, the six ministries became five ministries, and it became somewhat inappropriate. There was no position in Shangshu, and several Beile were in charge of the affairs of the ministries.
Each department has another Chengzheng, Mongolia Chengzheng and Han Chengzheng, and eight other members of the political participation, Qixinlang and several pen styles.
It is equivalent to the Jianzhou Jurchens being the master, and the Mongolian Chengzheng and Han Chengzheng were working.
Of course, in Huang Taiji's opinion, such arrangements are definitely fine. Is it necessary to just let you be able to manage the affairs of the Han people?
It's simply a big deal about the world. When did the slave want to be on par with his master?
After the official system and the "Five Departments" were settled, Huang Taiji spoke again: "I heard that the barbarians of the Ming Kingdom were going to build Dalinghe City in Gutun?"
Amin laughed and said, "Do Khan wants to be apart from this city? Please be the pioneer!"
Huang Taiji smiled and said, "What's the hurry? Let them practice first. Go at this time. If the barbarians of Ming Kingdom simply give up and stop practicing, wouldn't it be a pity? When they have almost finished their cultivation, we will encircle Daling City and fight against barbarian reinforcements."
Upon hearing this, Amin suddenly felt a little confused and just bowed and said, "The Great Khan is wise."
Huang Taiji continued: "According to the news that Ben Khan has received, although the barbarians have planned to build Daling City, they have not started construction yet. There is no hurry now, so wait for them to repair first. The most urgent task now is to find out who is responsible for this matter."
In fact, there is no need to worry as Huang Taiji thought, because Sun Chengzong had no intention of keeping this matter confidential at all.
Liaodong Governor Qiu Hejia thought that he should build cities in Guangning, Yizhou and Youtun. Whether it was Jiannu's invasion or the initiative to send troops to confront Jiannu, there were three nails staring at Jiannu.
Sun Chengzong felt that Guangning was too far away, so he should first build Daling City in Gutun, and then move forward step by step.
It has to be said that Sun Chengzong returned to the old routine in history, gradually eroding, squeezing Jiannu's living space bit by bit, and then pushed over with another wave of scattering Jiannu to death.
In fact, this strategy cannot be wrong, and it can even be said to be the strategy with the least casualties, but this strategy costs too much.
If it was when Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di was still alive, or even during the Zhengde period, there was no pressure to implement this strategy.
After all, the Ming Dynasty court at that time had some money and some could fight troops, so it would be too easy to do this.
But in fact, Sun Chengzong proposed this strategy during the Apocalypse period.
At that time, chaos began to occur everywhere, and natural disasters basically occurred every year. Wei Zhongxian was not enough to make money after playing his life, let alone playing such a money-burning strategy in Liaodong.
So Sun Chengzong could only be taken home by Lao Wei. He really couldn't afford to burn that money.
As for now, Sun Chengzong felt that the treasury should be rich, at least the military pay was always enough, and it would not be delayed in a day.
Since the treasury is rich, what else can I say? Isn’t it just that I just start to build the city and then eat away the Jiannu?
A funny scene appeared.
Originally, in history, Daling City started construction in July of the fourth year of Chongzhen. When it was almost finished, it stopped working. Then Jiannu soldiers surrounded Daling City.
Now Daling City started construction in April of the fourth year of Chongzhen, and was targeted by Jiannu when it started.
However, Huang Taiji did not expect that he led his troops to surround him halfway through Daling City, but he was still not as fast as Daling City building a city, and even the defenders on the top of the city shot against him while strengthening the city defense.
In Daling City, Zu Dashou was already in a state of anger: "My mom, I just said that those civil servants are all treacherous. Now, what are they like?!"
He Kegang advised: "Why do you have to do with the commander? It's better to stick to it for a while, reinforcements will always come."
Zu Dashou said in a frustration: "What can I do if the reinforcements arrive? Do you fight against Jiannu in the wild? Don't say it's me, how much can you believe in yourself?"
He Kegang smiled bitterly.
I and others were originally from Daling City, but I brought a lot of supplies, but I didn't bring much food, all relying on the supplies from the rear.
Now it has been surrounded by Jiannu. The entire Daling City is surrounded by the ditch dug out by Jiannu and the fences for intercepting war horses. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is hard to escape.
This is more troublesome.
Jiannu also has artillery that is the most troublesome thing. Even if the range and power are not as powerful as the Ming Dynasty artillery, but whether there is or not is completely different.
At least reinforcements from the Jinzhou direction are unlikely to be expected.
If Jiannu's moat ditch is against the city wall, it would be better if he could dig a moat in the middle of the night.
That's right, Zu Dashou and He Kegang made up their minds to defend Daling City to attract Jiannu, so that Sun Chengzong would have the opportunity to confront Jiannu. Anyway, he had no place to escape, so he might as well play a big game.
The unpredictability of history has emerged again.
The idea of digging a moat at night is good. Zu Dashou and He Kegang did the same, but the side effect was that there was insufficient food in the city that no one expected.
Deputy General Zhang Cunren stared at Zu Dashou and He Kegang and said, "What should I do if I don't have food?"
Zu Dashou waved his hand and said distraughtly: "What's wrong? Otherwise, you will eat human flesh? I'm not going to eat it now? Go and go, eat grass roots and tree bark, if you can eat it, it's really not good enough to slaughter the cows that work."
Zhang Cunren retreated awkwardly, and He Kegang advised: "It's a matter of finding a way to write to Master Sun, so that he can march quickly."
But He Kegang suddenly stared at Zu Dashou and said, "Big, do you dare to eat human flesh?"
Zu Dashou stood up with a sudden sigh and said angrily: "Are you crazy? I don't know what the consequences of eating human flesh in history, but there have been people eating human flesh in Shaanxi. Haven't you heard of the consequences?"
He Kegang spread his hands and smiled and said, "I know, isn't it just that the whole city is slaughtered? But what should I do if I don't eat human flesh?
The grassroots and tree bark are eaten for a day, and the beef is also eaten for a day. The beef in the city really makes the soldiers eat openly, and they probably can't last for a day.
What should I do then? The soldiers starve to death, who will guard this city?"
Zu Dashou said angrily: "Don't think about it, I'll tell you, eating human flesh is a taboo! You must not eat human flesh unless you have to!"
But Zu Dashou did not expect that this last resort would come so quickly.
There is actually no shortage of weapons in the city, and even the ammunition of artillery is sufficient. Even Jiannu has the so-called red-clothed cannon, but with its range and power, Daling City can even shoot against Jiannu.
Looking at Jiannu who had once again left behind the corpses of siege soldiers and retreated, He Kegang gritted his teeth and said, "I will go out of the city to provoke Jiannu. The commander ordered people to prepare and drag Jiannu's body back. How much can he drag it back?"
Zu Dashou shouted angrily: "Fuck! Although the food in the city is gone, there is still be beef? Even if you drink broth, you can hold on for another two days. Find another way!"
After stopping He Kegang, Zu Dashou said, "Wu Xiang and the others are coming soon. If you bear it, I will drink broth with the soldiers in the past two days. No matter what, I will have to go through these two days."
As soon as Zu Dashou finished speaking, someone from the Jiannu army marched alone and rushed to the city and shouted loudly: "Listen to the general on the top of the city, my knight has something to say!"
Zu Dashou said with a dark face: "If you have something to say, say nothing, let go of it, and save yourself by persuading surrender!"
The messenger who rode alone and rolled his eyes by Zu Dashou's words. After a while, he said loudly: "My Khan said that as long as the city is opened and surrendered, high-ranking officials must be horses and ride, isn't it better than defending the city?"
Zu Dashou's face remained unchanged, and he whispered to He Kegang: "I will lead him over, you can shoot him to death!"
The messenger saw Zu Dashou's mouth open and closed, but no sound came. When he looked at the wind direction again, he thought he had not heard Zu Dashou's voice, so he urged the horse to take a few steps forward.
He Kegang did not expect that the opportunity would come suddenly. While the messenger was listening to Zu Dashou's mouth full of Hu Chai, he directly used a bow to draw an arrow and shot straight at the messenger.
Seeing that the envoy was caught in an arrow, He Kegang smiled and said, "Fortunately, he did not humiliate his fate."
Zu Dashou ignored He Kegang, untied his belt and started peeing under the city, shouting arrogantly while peeing: "Come on, you guys, let's play this with me!"
Another horse was riding out of the Jiannu formation, but this time he learned the essence and never approached the city again. Instead, he shouted from afar: "Since ancient times, the two countries did not kill the envoys, so why didn't General Zu make too much money?"
Zu Dashou laughed wildly above the city wall and said, "You are stupid. Huang Taiji and I are not two countries. They are fucking rebels. Do you understand?
I just killed a rebel, why both countries are involved in fighting? If this matter is to be with the emperor, I am right!"
The newly-departed messenger pointed at Zu Dashou and simply went back in disappointment and reported to the emperor.
Isn't that going to the dog emperor of Ming Dynasty? Not to mention that the two countries are fighting, even if they are friendly brotherly countries, it is obvious how the dog emperor will choose.
Jirhalang, who felt that Huang Taiji had been insulted, said angrily: "Khan! Otherwise, if the slave leads troops to attack again, he will definitely take down Daling City, and then he will not leave any other people behind!"
