Wei Bao smiled embarrassedly, "Brother Yuan, you think a little too much, North Korea is almost as poor as Liaonan, and it is separated by the sea, what do you want to do there?" ”

"Poor to poor, some people have land, and there is a capable operator like you Xiaobao, in a few years, no matter how remote the place can be greatly changed!" Yuan Chonghuan analyzed: "If Liaonan is completely controlled by Xiaobao and you don't fight, I don't think that in five years, the prosperity will surpass that of Liaoxi!" North Korea's land is much larger than that of southern Liaoning, and if a large area of land and population can be obtained in North Korea, and the two sides can trade and trade, then the development will be more smooth! Now Xiaobao, you are already the biggest and most powerful person outside the Guanwai, if you get North Korea again, it won't take a few years, and there will be no richer and more powerful people in the whole Ming Dynasty or even the whole world than you. ”

Wei Bao looked at Yuan Chonghuan vigilantly, I don't know why Yuan Chonghuan said this, there are some things, even if you know, you should keep it in your heart, saying it in person, usually when you negotiate, or when you tear your face, what does he want to do? Is it the strength of the development that is crazy about my jealousy? Or do you want to extort some hush money from me?

However, Wei Bao did not take Yuan Chonghuan in his eyes, even if he knew that in the future history, if history developed according to the original trajectory, Yuan Chonghuan would get the position of Jiliao Governor after Chongzhen came to power, but that was three years later!

Wei Bao doesn't believe that he can't hold a stable Liaonan in the past three years!

If you have your own control over southern Liaoning, you can be like the control of the big families in Liaodong and Liaoxi for Liaodong, if you can't get a needle into the water and splash it, whoever is the Jiliao Governor can't help herself!

So, Wei Bao chose not to speak!

Wei Bao's non-speech is by no means a confession, sometimes, not speaking is more powerful than scolding! It can be understood as default, and it can be understood as disdain, right? How can you take my drops?

"North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and the North Koreans dare to secretly communicate with Jiannu, because our Ming Dynasty is too loose in their control, and the people-to-people exchanges are also loose, and the impact on North Korea is too small! If the North Koreans feel that the Ming Dynasty is very close to them, and even the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty can gain a lot of weight in North Korea, then do they dare to be half-hearted? Do you dare to snatch the throne casually without the consent of the Ming court? Wu Xuexia spoke for Wei Bao.

Yuan Chonghuan smiled embarrassedly, "Hehe, I don't mean anything else, I also hope that Xiaobao can be good in North Korea, Xiaobao gets a large piece of land in North Korea and gets a lot of people, that is definitely a good thing for Daming." ”

"That's right, Chonghuan doesn't mean anything else." Sun Chengzong shrewdly brushed this stubble over: "Xiaobao, go, go around, ready for dinner!" Do you know what I admire most about you here? ”

"What?" Wei Bao smiled.

Sun Chengzong pulled Wei Bao and said as he walked: "I admire you most that you can now not take Jiannu seriously!" Whether it's the army, or these stewards who do things, or the common people, what should everyone do! That's good! It does not relax its defense against Jiannu, nor does it affect the normal work of things. You plan to repair the Great Wall from Liaoyang City, this idea is good! I managed to ask the court for some silver to support you! It can be regarded as a contribution from the Jiliao Governor's Mansion. ”

"Teacher, it's naturally good to be able to get silver, but if it's less than 1 million taels, you don't need to, after all, such a big project will cost at least hundreds of millions of taels of silver! I just lay a foundation, fill the gaps, really want to all the height and reinforcement, complete the whole project, less than one million taels of silver, to come to not even one percent, speaking of which is still funded by the imperial court, it is not interesting. ”

"This is originally the Great Wall of the imperial court, you, you can't think like this, even if you can't get much silver this time, but for such a big project, you can ask the court for some silver from time to time, and you can ask the court for the silver you subsidize yourself, and you can ask the court for it in the future! It doesn't matter if the court gives it or not, these accounts must be calculated clearly, you don't need to go out alone, understand? Do you think, if the court owes you hundreds of millions of taels of silver, will the court pay it back? If the court still doesn't come out, do you do something well in the future, will you have a lot more room for bargaining? Sun Chengzong was scheming, and reminded for Wei Bao's sake.

Wei Bao suddenly realized, his mouth suddenly opened, and he said happily: "Thank you for your guidance!" Yes, I built all the roads in southern Liaoning, the cities and even the Great Wall! How much silver does this stroke get? I've got to report it all! If the court doesn't give me money, don't say it first! Even if they owe it first, you have to give me the voucher first! ”

Sun Chengzong smiled and nodded: "Yes, the son can be taught!" Do you know why the power of the Donglin Party is getting bigger and bigger, and the imperial court has nothing to do with them? Just because most of the Donglin Party in Jiangnan are big gentry and have a lot of business! They also posted a lot of silver for Daming! It's not even on the Ming Dynasty! Moreover, they posted a tael of silver, and they would try their best to get back a hundred taels of silver from Da Ming! Father-in-law Wei also knows this, but there is no way! If you think about it, even Grandpa Wei can't do it! Who else can do it? Now I'm still in my position! Most of the officials in southern Liaoning are found by me, and the money you spend will be listed in detail, and when the time comes, let those commissioned officials help you report to the Jiliao Governor's Mansion, and I will approve them for you, and then report to the imperial court! Ask them to write paperwork! Postpone and make up! Regardless of whether it is made up in the end or not, with these documents, these accounts will not be able to escape! ”

Wei Bao nodded: "Then if these accounts belong to me alone, will they find a way to punish me because they can't pay the accounts, and give me a house to cut off my head, in that way, won't all so many accounts be written off?" ”

"Teachable!" Sun Chengzong nodded with a smile: "It's all your own account, of course not!" So make a good list, and the more people you have, the better! Just like the gang of people in Liaoxi and Liaodong, if something happens, one will be prosperous and one will be lost! There are hundreds of people at every turn, who can the imperial court handle? Running so many people at once, isn't it forcing chaos in the place? ”

Wei Bao smiled: "Okay, teacher, I understand everything!" It's not a problem for me to list thousands of people for him, I don't have much of anything, just a lot of people! ”

Wei Bao's Heaven and Earth Society now has more than 100,000 official congregations! It's not a problem to list them all!

Anyway, the list for the imperial court is one, and the situation on the Tiandihui's own side is another! No matter how many people are listed, anyway, the power and wealth are in the hands of oneself, and the regime under one's own control, who dares to say anything?

"Got it?" Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

"Understood, thank you so much!" Wei Bao walked with Sun Chengzong affectionately, and the two of them looked like they were eager to wear a pair of pants, which was really a bit like their ancestors and grandchildren.

"The key at the moment is how you can catch Liaonan in your own hands! If you can grasp Liaonan steadily, whether you are a teacher or not in the position of Jiliao Governor, it will be beneficial and harmless to me and Daming! At that time, it was impossible to help those border troops in Liaodong and Mao Wenlong always disobey the yang and the yin! Just know that when you want silver, and when you really move with Jiannu, no one can count on it! Sun Chengzong said angrily.

Wei Bao felt that Sun Chengzong was still very considerate of Da Ming, and secretly wondered, who wants to use their own resources to feed the wolf mouth of Jiannu? Jiannu's wolf's mouth is a bottomless pit! However, Wei Bao knew that people like Sun Chengzong would not stay in the position of Jiliao Supervisor for long! A very loyal look: "As long as Ens is in the position of Jiliao Governor!" I'll do whatever my teacher tells me to do! If the teacher doesn't like to deal with those dirty people and dirty things one day, he will take his family to Liaonan or Weijiazhuang to care for the elderly! I promise that my mentor is happier than anyone else! ”

"Hehe, thank you for being a teacher, I won't come to you for a teacher, if the court really can't tolerate me as this official, I'll go back to my hometown Gaoyang!" In my hometown, no one dares to help me! I have assisted generations of emperors, and there is no merit and hard work! And as a teacher, I have never done anything harmful to nature and reason in my life! I don't dare to compare all the officials of the Ming Dynasty, but I can do better than the teacher, there are really not many, and I can count them on five fingers! Sun Chengzong said confidently.

Wei Bao smiled and nodded, secretly thinking that if you really want to come, it will be a bit troublesome! Wait for capitalism on my side, everyone is doing business in full swing, which is completely different from the semi-slavery and semi-feudal economy of the Ming Dynasty.

Wei Bao, together with Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan, then inspected the construction of the city wall near Qingtaiyu.

The speed of the treasure army amazed Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan, and the Ming army often built city walls, and the speed of the treasure army could be said to be a hundred times that of the Ming army!

And because of the artificial relationship, as well as the relationship between building materials, the solid cement concrete makes the city defense extremely strong, and it cannot be damaged by the earth cannons of this era.

There is not even the possibility of making a hole!

Because it's not an earthen wall at all, it's useless to have any soil and mud bricks, all of which are cement, green bricks, and red bricks!

More than 2 million people, more than a dozen cement factories and brick factories, all at full power at this time, like a huge and delicate machine, day and night non-stop rapid operation!

The whole of southern Liaoning is in a compact and calm state of preparation for war.

The military and civilians of southern Liaoning, Wei Bao's heaven and earth society, all aspects of society are very calm.

This calm atmosphere reached Nurhachi's ears, which made Nurhachi especially angry and panicked while shocked.

This is a panic that Nurhachi has never felt, even if he only relied on eighteen people to get into trouble, even if he survived under the wing of the powerful Li Chengliang and faced countless strong enemies, Nurhachi did not feel this way.

Due to the two-month battle of southern Liaoning, which came to a temporary end with the heavy losses of Jiannu, Nurhachi punished a large number of generals after coming to Lianshan Pass, and senior generals such as Huang Taiji, Daishan, Jierharang, Yuetuo, and Dege were also punished to varying degrees, or demoted, or fined, or severely reprimanded.

"During this time, due to the lack of food in the Shengjing area, we have no way to send more troops to southern Liaoning, but I can't imagine that with my more than 23,000 elite garrisons of eight banners, southern Liaoning will be beaten like this by a business that has just emerged in western Liaoxi and has never heard of before?" Nurha's red eagle falcon's gaze was still as sharp and steady as before, and it didn't give people a chance to explore his inner emotions, "The Ming border army in Liaodong, and Mao Wenlong's soldiers and horses in Dongjiang have not been damaged, and they are still eyeing my Dajin country, but you are doing this in the rear, which makes me very disappointed!" This is a failure, a complete failure! ”

The generals didn't dare to say anything, and Huang Taiji closed his eyes even more nervously, not because he was completely worried about his personal future, but because he was worried that his father Khan would lose his ambition and overestimate the strength of Wei Baojun! Although he did not take advantage of Wei Baojun and suffered some losses, Huang Taiji did not recognize Wei Baojun, nor did he recognize Tiandihui and Wei Bao, but he felt unlucky.

"Great Khan! I don't think the soldiers and horses in southern Liaoning have fought well during this time, but I don't think Huang Taiji and Daishan have lost! In fact, we killed nearly 500,000 Han Chinese, which had never been done before, and killed and wounded at least 100,000 enemy troops! These 100,000 people are all young men! If you can't use it for me, you might as well kill it! And now that Lianshan Pass is still in our hands, the army can attack Wei Baojun through Lianshan Pass at any time! As long as the Great Khan gives me 5,000 soldiers and horses, I promise to break through the 100,000-strong battalion of Wei Bao's army within two days, and kill them without leaving a single piece of armor! Let the Han people see the true power of our Eight Banners Army! The person who spoke was Amin, "No matter who brought this new Han merchant name, there will be no sudden addition of young and middle-aged Han men!" Kill one and one less. Moreover, the people inside the customs can't adapt to the climate here when they go outside the customs, so if one young and middle-aged man outside the customs dies, the threat of our Dajin Kingdom will be one less point. Only by killing all the Han people outside the Guan, can our Dajin Kingdom be as stable as a rock! Therefore, such a duel, whether it is in Liaodong and the Liaodong border army of the Ming Dynasty, or in Liaonan, and the newly emerging Tiandi business, it is the same! ”

Amin is the second son of Nurhachi's brother Shulhaqi.

During the Nurhachi period, he participated in the battles of Sarhu, Yehe, Keshenyang, and Liaoyang.

In the original history, during the period of Huang Taiji, Amin led the army to attack Korea, forcing the Korean king Yi Ju to sue for peace, and the war was very successful. In the fourth year of Tiancong, because Amin abandoned the city and surrendered, Huang Taiji was furious and summoned all Baylor to discuss Amin's crime. In addition to the abandonment of the four cities, there are also other crimes such as having different aspirations and seeking independence in North Korea in the past. The court discussed Amin's capital crime, and Huang Taiji changed it to solitary confinement, leaving only six villages, two gardens, and twenty slaves, and the rest of the property went to Amin's own brother Zilharang. Amin had six sons, and five of them had knighthoods, except for Erli, who was convicted and died.

Amin's father is Shulhaqi, and he is a brother to Nurhachi.

The story of these two brothers alone, if you spread it out, is enough to become one.

Shulhaqi and Nurhachi's father, Takshi, was originally the commander of the Ming Dynasty. Her mother is the eldest daughter of Wang Gao, the commander of the right guard of Jianzhou.

When Shulhazi was 5 years old, his biological mother unfortunately died, and the family affairs began to be presided over by his stepmother, Nara. The stepmother was mean and cold to the Shulhazy brothers.

Shuerhaqi, who was just five or six years old, followed his brother Nurhachi to the deep mountains and forests, collecting pine nuts, fungus, mushrooms, and hunting wild fowl, and then sending these mountain goods to the horse market in Fushun to sell them to supplement the family. However, their rush and toiling did not earn the slightest mercy from their stepmother. Helplessly, when he was 10 years old, Shuerhaqi left home with his brother and lived under his maternal grandfather Wang Gao.

In the second year of Wanli (1574), when Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, led the army to break through Wang Gao's Gule Village, Nurhachi and Shuerhaqi were both captured and used as young soldiers to fight with the army.

Every time they fought, the Ming army let the Jurchen captives take the lead and rush into the opponent's sword array. After a few battles, most of the Jurchen captives were killed, but only the Nurhachi brothers survived and developed a strong physique and exquisite martial arts.

In the 11th year of Wanli (1583), Shulhaqi's grandfather and father died in the chaos of the Ming Dynasty. Grief-stricken, Shulhaqi and his brother Nurhachi left the Ming army together and returned home.

After some deep thought, the two decided to avenge their dead relatives, relying on the thirteen pairs of armor left by their grandfather, raising a team of more than 100 people, and began the great cause of creating Houjin.

During his entrepreneurial years, Shulhazi became the right-hand man and main fighter of his brother Nurhachi.

In August of the 23rd year of Wanli (1595), Shulhaqi led the Jianzhou Jurchen tributary delegation to Beijing for the first time, and this experience opened his eyes. He was dissatisfied with his subordinate position to his brother, and he hoped to one day become the supreme ruler of the Jianzhou Jurchens. At the same time, he developed a keen interest in advanced agrarian civilization and culture.

In July of the 25th year of Wanli (1597), Shulhaqi went to Beijing for the second time to pay tribute, and this experience fueled his ambitions. After arriving in Beijing, he was warmly and ceremoniously received by the Ming court, and was rewarded with rich gifts such as gold, silver, and satin.

At the same time, the Ming court also granted him the high-ranking military position of command. The Ming Dynasty used this as a strategic countermeasure, trying its best to win over and buy Nurhachi's opponents and opponents, and stir up sow discord between the two in order to intensify the contradictions between them.

For this reason, Shulhaqi was indeed grateful for the favor of the Ming Dynasty, he was grateful to the Ming Dynasty, and his political attitude became more and more inclined to the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to his active close relationship with the Ming Dynasty, Shulhaqi also strengthened his ties with various other Jurchen tribes through political marriages in order to expand his personal power and influence.

In the twenty-fourth year of Wanli (1596), Shulhaqi married the sister of Beyleb Zhantai of the Ula tribe, and the following year he married his daughter Eshitai to Buzhantai. Shulhazi also maintained a fairly close relationship with the DPRK, and the DPRK envoy went to Jianju to perform the same etiquette for Nurhachi and Shulhaqi to meet and give the same gifts to both of them. The two of them also slaughtered pigs and sheep separately, and each entertained the Korean envoys in their tents and gave gifts in return.

The Joseon king was also willing to maneuver between the two Jianju chiefs and impose the principle of double recognition on them, in the same way that the Ming dynasty did.

With the unification of the Jurchen tribes, Nurhachi had enough strength to confront the Ming Dynasty, and his hostile attitude towards the Ming Dynasty became increasingly obvious, and his subordinates often engaged in armed conflicts with the Ming army. The Ming Dynasty was disturbed by the situation in Liaodong.

In the twenty-ninth year of Wanli (1601), the Ming court used Li Chengliang, the former general of Liaodong, who had been deposed, in the hope that he could reverse the bad situation at that time.

At the beginning of his tenure, Li Chengliang adopted the original policy of dividing and disintegrating the Jurchen ministries. He took advantage of the contradiction between Shulhazy and his brother, vigorously wooed him, and was very kind to him, especially high. Li Chengliang asked his son Li Rubai to marry Shuerhaqi's daughter as a concubine, which made the relationship between the two parties closer. In the thirty-third year of Wanli (1605), Shuerhaqi's wife died of illness, and Li Chengliang and his son prepared a rich sacrifice to go to the funeral, which was very grand.

In the face of the favor of the Ming Dynasty, Shulhaqi was even more grateful, and he was determined to rely on the Ming Dynasty as a backstage to establish his position as the supreme leader of the Jurchens.

Shulhachi's blatant assertion of personal authority gradually challenged Nurhachi's position, and the relationship between the two became increasingly strained, and the two often quarreled over disagreements at meetings attended by Zhubel, and Nurhachi began to try to eliminate him as a potential adversary.

In March of the 35th year of Wanli (1607), a small Jurchen tribe living in the city of Shuyou, unable to endure the slavery of the neighboring Ula tribe, wanted to attach themselves to Nurhachi. Nurhachi sent Shulhaqi and his sons Chu Ying and Dai Shan, and the generals Fei Yingdong, Yanguli, Chang Shu, and Hu Erhan led 3,000 troops to Shuyou City to collect the department.

When Shulhaqi and the others were halfway through, he was full of suspicion and told his fellow generals that he saw a faint glow on the handsome banner and wanted to retreat. However, under the opposition of Chu Ying and Dai Shan, they could only give up.

After arriving at the city, the tribe's chieftain Tsemuthei's 500 families were ready to set off, and the team soon set out on the way back.

When Urabeleb Zhantai heard the news, he immediately led 10,000 cavalry to intercept the attack, and the armies of both sides put on a fighting position.

But at this time, Shulhazy retreated to the side with his five hundred men, and he did not want to destroy the friendly relations with his in-laws. Only Chu Ying and Dai Shan led the army to fight bravely, Shulhaqi only watched from the side, and his subordinates Chang Shu and Naqib did not join the battle.

It was precisely because of Shulhaqi's passive retreat that in the end, although Chu Ying and Dai Shan defeated the Ula cavalry, they failed to deal a fatal blow.

After Shulhaqi's division returned to the court, Nurhachi prepared to execute his subordinates Changshu and Naqib on charges of desertion, in order to cut off his right-hand man and set an example for the monkey.

But Shulhaqi's reaction was very strong, saying that killing them was equivalent to killing me, and he vowed not to bow his head, and he had the position to fight to the death. In the end, Nurhachi made concessions in order to avoid an open conflict. He fined Chang Shu only one hundred taels of gold, seized Nazib's men, and henceforth deprived Shulhazi of the right to command the army, pushing him out of the top military leadership.

In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli (1607), Shulhaqi's status plummeted, and he became a nominal figure, and he felt that he and Nurhachi could not coexist.

So, he consulted with his eldest son, Altuna, and his third son, Zasaktu, and plotted to set up another door to fight against his brother. Shulhaqi took several sons and a few subordinates to Heitumu, southeast of Tieling, where they cut down wood to build houses and open up new base areas. And Hei Tuomu is close to Tieling, an important military town of the Ming Dynasty, and can directly rely on the military protection of the Ming Dynasty, and is adjacent to the Ula tribe to the east, so he can get the assistance of allies at any time.

Shulhaqi began to become more and more estranged from Nurhachi, and moved closer to the Ming Dynasty. Li Chengliang saw this great opportunity to divide the female truth, so he added fuel to the fire and deliberately provoked contradictions. He canonized Shuerhaqi as the head of the right guard of Jianzhou, which was the highest local military governor established by the Ming Dynasty in the Liaodong region.

Nurhachi first ordered Shulhaqi to give up the idea of establishing himself as king, and when the persuasion failed, Nurhachi resolutely took tough measures, and in March of the 37th year of Wanli (1609), Shulhachi's two sons, Artuna and Zasaktu, were killed by Nurhachi, and the general Wuerkun was also executed.

Nurhachi was still angry, and still planned to put his second son Amin to death, but it was only under the extreme efforts of Huang Taiji and others that Amin escaped death and saved him from death, but half of his family property was confiscated.

In the face of his brother's aggressive posture, Shulhazy lost the courage to continue the struggle. He knew that his strength was far inferior to that of his brother, and the backer he was counting on, the Ming army stationed in Liaodong, was also in a precarious situation, and he was not Nurhachi's opponent at all. In a desperate situation, Shulhazy returned to his brother's tent. This time, however, Nurhachi no longer spoke of brotherhood to him, and Shulhachi was imprisoned in a dark room, locked with iron locks, with only two holes to bring him food.

On August 19, 1611, Shulhaqi died in captivity at the age of forty-eight. There is a claim that he was secretly killed by his brother Nurhachi.

It is precisely because Huang Taiji once saved Amin's life that Amin will speak for Huang Taiji at this time at the risk of angering the Great Khan, and correct the failure that the Great Khan thinks is just a draw!

Nurhachi looked at the crowd and did not say that Amin was right, nor did he say that Amin was wrong: "You all talk too!" Let's see what to do next!? It is to take advantage of the fact that the Heaven and Earth Association has not yet gained a firm foothold in southern Liaoning, and then beat them! Or wait a little longer, wait until the beginning of spring, when our food pressure eases a little, and then fight the heaven and earth? However, if you wait a little longer, it may be even more difficult for Liaonan to build the long Great Wall from Liaoyang City to the Dangerous Mountain Fort, and if you want to attack the Heaven and Earth Society in two months! ”

"Father Khan, my Dajin Kingdom has recently fought against the Mongols, the Liaodong Ming Army, and the Mao Wenlong Army, and the tribe has suffered from heavy taxes and cannot support the enemy on all sides. I think we should first build a solid local area, occupy a piece of land, govern a piece of land, and should not rush to conquer the city. If you want to fight, you have to guarantee victory! The battle in southern Liaoning, like this time, is what the Han people hope and like to see, not the battle situation that our Eight Banners elite hope to encounter! We should not fight against the Han people in the winter in the city defense battle! Only with a small number of troops and let the Han people fight their own people can we deal with the Han people with a large population. "It was Abatai who spoke.

Abatai's mother, Ilgen Jue Luo, married Nurhachi in the 14th year of Wanli (1586) and was his seventh wife. Ilgen Jue Luo came from an ordinary background, and was not favored by Nurhachi during his lifetime, nor did he receive any mourning after his death. She didn't even leave the date of her birth and death, and there is not even a single word in the history books of the Qing Dynasty.

Abatai's mother's low status directly affected his future ranking among his brothers. However, because of his age advantage, Abatai participated in the war earlier than his younger brothers and made achievements earlier, so Nurhachi still valued him more seriously.

In the thirty-ninth year of Wanli (1611), Abatai, who was only 23 years old, led an expedition for the first time on the orders of his father. At that time, the chiefs of the Ningguta region in the north (in the area of present-day Ning'an County, Heilongjiang Province) went to the city of Hetuala, where Nurhachi lived, to pay tribute, and Nurhachi gave them 40 pairs of armor. The journey from Hetuara to Ningguta was long, and the monks and Nikali traveled with their armor to Suifenlu (now Suifen River valley in Heilongjiang), where they were robbed by the tribes of Urguchen (in the area of the Bijin River in present-day Russia) and Muling (in the Muling River valley in present-day Heilongjiang Province). Nurhachi sent people to pursue it several times, but it was unsuccessful, so he sent Abatai and the generals Fei Yingdong and An Feiyangu to lead a thousand troops to capture Urguchen and Muling. This was the first expedition in which Abatai participated. This expedition was undoubtedly a rare experience for the young Abatai. Since then, he has begun his career as a horse for more than 30 years.

In the third year of the Mandate of Heaven (1618), Nurhachi swore to conquer the Ming Dynasty with the "Seven Hatreds", and Abatai accompanied the expedition. When conquering Fushun City, he surrendered Li Yongfang, a guerrilla general of the Ming Dynasty. Although Li Yongfang's official position was low, he was the first Ming general to publicly surrender to Houjin. Nurhachi tried his best to win over him, conferred on him the rank of lieutenant general, ruled over the Fushun people, and married Abatai's daughter to him. Since then, Li Yongfang has been called "Fuxi (i.e., Fushun) Forehead" internally and externally, and has done his best to serve Houjin with loyalty. Li Yongfang's 9 sons later became high-ranking officials in the Qing Dynasty.

Whether it is because of his humble background, or because of his relationship with the Han people, or because of Li Yongfang's relationship, Abatai must be different from other Manchu nobles.

Everyone advocated toughness, and Abatai advocated steady development, which attracted the attention of his father Khan Nurhachi.

However, Abatai's words attracted the secret hatred of Huang Taiji!

Huang Taiji felt that Abatai was saying that he had lost, and he had lost badly! The most critical thing is to accuse him of not stabilizing the large tracts of land that Liaonan has acquired.

In the original history, Huang Taiji also had a bad relationship with Abatai. In September of the 11th year of the Mandate of Heaven (1626), at the beginning of Huang Taiji's succession, he rewarded Zhubeile and gave a banquet. Among the beylers who attended the banquet, the most prominent ones were Daishan, Mang Gurtai, Amin, Azig, Dolgon, Duoduo, and Yue. Although Abatai is 38 years old, because he is only a Baylor, his seat is below that of Zhuhe Shuobeile. Seeing his brothers and nephews staggered and drinking happily, he felt that his face was dull and his heart was depressed. When I returned to the mansion, I couldn't help complaining to my subordinates: "I won't go to the banquet in the future!" "I am ashamed to walk in armor when I fight, I am to carry a bow and arrow when I hunt, and I feel ashamed to sit among my children at a banquet."

During Nurhachi's lifetime, there were Mongol relatives who visited, and Abatai went out with the four great beylers, but as his brothers and nephews grew up, his status deteriorated.

Huang Taiji heard his whining words, ignored them, and only ordered his subordinates to do some persuasion work. Who knew that Abatai's resentment not only did not disappear, but grew bigger and bigger.

Nurhachi also didn't say anything immediately about Abatai's words, "Is there anyone else who has anything to say?" Let's talk about it! Azig, you can also talk about it! ”

"Yes, Father Khan. Although we are now in difficulty with food, under the excellent love and governance of my father Khan, the Shengjing area is very stable! All the tribes of our Dajin country are very united! "Azig is the twelfth son of Nurhachi, the brother of Dolgon, and his mother is the eldest concubine Abahai, he, like Abatai, also belongs to a relatively tepid person, and is more alternative among the generals of the Eight Banners, which is also related to his relatively young age, relatively low status, and knowing that it is impossible to compete for the throne of Khan, "Instead of fighting against the Han people, it is better to gradually divide and disintegrate the various forces of the Han people." The Han people are not united, if the Han people are united like our Dajin country, with the large number of Han people, let alone being able to lay down so much territory now, it may be difficult to survive. ”

"Abatai, Azig, are you too prestigious? Father Khan has always been tough on the Han people! If it weren't for that, how could we have such a vast land and such a prosperous tribe as we have now? Amin said: "The Han people are very cunning, and it is useless to support the Han people!" We sent envoys many times to have private contact with Han Chinese generals, but so what? Zu Dashou and Mao Wenlong, who is not an old fox? They only know how to deceive us! I want to get benefits from the Dajin Kingdom, and I want to avoid the edge of our Dajin Kingdom, but once the danger is gone, I will be the enemy of my Dajin Kingdom! For these cunning Han people, you can only kill! Kill until they're scared! ”

Hearing Abatai say this, no one spoke again, because Abatai said that Nurhachi had always advocated toughness, and the Great Khan had advocated toughness, what could others say?

Nurhachi looked at a long-bearded strategist beside him: "Fan Wencheng! You are very familiar with the Han people, and your brother was recently killed by the Han people, you can tell me! ”

"Yes, Great Khan!" Fan Wencheng didn't expect that on such an important occasion, the Great Khan would let himself speak by name, he was excited, quickly calmed down, stabilized his emotions, and then said loudly: "What several Baylors said is very reasonable!" It should be fought, the defense should be solid, and the Han people should be divided. Only by paying equal attention to the two and finding a balance between the two can we better deal with the Han people, because they are far more cunning than we think. Take the current Wei Bao in front of us, although I know that he is most likely the murderer of my brother! But he already has a lot of strength, if we blindly attack, we may not be able to damage the other party much, but will make my Dajin Kingdom tired! While we should fight Wei Bao, we should stabilize the other party, promise fame and fortune, and contact with it while fighting! ”

When everyone heard this, most of the Jiannu generals despised Fan Wencheng, and they all secretly thought that you yourself said that Wei Bao was very likely to be the murderer of your own brother, can you still contact your murderer? Shouldn't you be most determined to kill your enemies? Also, you are cunning as a Han person, aren't you a Han yourself?

Nurhachi admired Fan Wencheng's words, nodded and said, "Listening to what everyone has said so much, Fan Wencheng's words are to my liking!" I am an advocate of toughness, and I like to speak to Han people with my fists! But I didn't stop everyone from judging the situation! If no matter what the circumstances, I knew that I would blindly fight hard, then the troops of my Dajin Kingdom would have been exhausted long ago! The tide of battle and the battlefield are changing in an instant! We can't do things in one way, we must know how to judge the situation and integrate it. ”

When the generals heard this, they all knew that the Great Khan had the intention of subduing Wei Bao! And what everyone didn't say was that Cong Gulen Gege was the Khan's favorite daughter, and Cong Gulen Gege was still in Wei Bao's hands, if he could get Cong Gulenge back through negotiations, this would at least make the army have less scruples when they fought Wei Bao's army.

"Yes! Sweat! The generals clasped their fists together and bowed in agreement.

"I'll leave this matter to you! During this time, I will personally sit in Lianshan Pass! We have to fight and talk! Nurhachi said to Fan Wencheng.

Fan Wencheng was overjoyed when he heard this, he could take the initiative to go to Jiannu Fang to be a traitor, Fan Wencheng and his brother were already spineless, where did they have to be cheeky for the sake of glory and wealth? Having such a good opportunity to show his ability in front of the Great Khan is exactly what Fan Wencheng dreamed of, "Thank you Great Khan for cultivating!" I will do my best to live up to the expectations of the Great Khan. ”

Nurhachi nodded and said yes, and then said to the generals: "You must also pay attention to training and think more about how to defeat the enemy!" The Han people just rely on the large number of people, and there is nothing to be afraid of, I have fought the Han people for half my life, and I have never been defeated! ”

"Yes, the Great Khan is blessed by the gods, long live long live long live!" The generals of the Eight Banners suddenly came to their senses and shouted in unison.

At the end of the discussion, Nurhachi left Fan Wencheng alone.

This made a gang of traitors very jealous.

There are many traitors in Nurhachi's hands, and the team can be called huge.

Bao Chengxian was their head, Bao Cheng's ancestors were from Yingxian County, Shanxi, and later joined the Han Army Zhenghongqi. A famous minister and strategist in the early years of the Qing Dynasty. Bao Chengxian was originally a deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, a general during the Wanli period, and in the sixth year of the Mandate of Heaven (1622), he surrendered to Jin and was still a deputy general.

In the original history, he was the first Han prime minister in the early Qing Dynasty.

In addition, there are Sun Degong generals, Ning Wanme, Fan Wencheng, Gao Hongzhong, Luo Xiujin, Liang Zhengda, Qi Guoru, Yang Fangxing and so on.

Han people, there will never be a shortage of traitors, how many heroes and heroes, there will be a hundred times more traitors.

In President Wei's view, foreign enemies are troublesome, and traitors are sometimes even more troublesome than foreign enemies, because they are the real confidants and opponents.

"Do you know why I chose you to be in charge of contacting the Heaven and Earth Society and Wei Bao?" Nurha equator.

"I know, after the Great Khan knew that my brother was killed by Wei Bao, he must have hated Wei Bao so much that he wanted to kill Wei Bao in his dreams, only the enemy knows the enemy best, I think it should be like this, right?" Fan Wencheng replied.

Nurhachi nodded with satisfaction, squinted his eyes at Fan Wencheng, and asked, "I really didn't see the wrong person, you are a smart person!" Do you know that Webo? Any specific ideas? ”
