Huang Taiji glanced at the Manchu and Han Wenchen in the room, and still sighed a little in his heart, the foundation of Houjin is still too shallow after all, although many talents have emerged in the Eight Banners of martial arts, but in terms of literature, they can only rely on the Han people.

Dahai and Ganglin were old men who followed their father Khan, but they were not his cronies. And although Kurtang and Wu Bashi are close to him, their literary names are not obvious. However, what made him even worse was that there were only a few Wenchen who had been trained among the Manchurians.

After the establishment of the Jin Dynasty for more than ten years, but in addition to the establishment of the Eight Banners system in the military, Yu has never set a set of rules in governing the country. He studied the Han classics since he was a child, and also knew that although the Eight Banners system exerted the greatest combat effectiveness of the Jurchen clan, it also buried the hidden danger of splitting the Jurchens.

The control power of the Eight Banners Banner Lord over his banner is so great that even he, the Houjin Great Khan, does not dare to touch it easily. Strictly speaking, the bannermen of each banner are loyal to the banner owner of the banner, not to the Great Khan of the Later Jin. When his father Khan was alive, the banner owners naturally bowed their heads and did not dare to make mistakes.

But when it was his turn to succeed to the throne and become the Great Khan of the Later Jin, there was immediately a strange system of four beylers ruling the government. In the final analysis, Daishan, Amin, and Mang Gultai chose him as the Great Khan, not because of his outstanding talent, but because his power was the weakest and easy to control.

It's just that the three didn't expect that the Dolgon Brothers would lean towards themselves in case the two white flags under their name were divided by the three, which changed the pattern of Houjin and made him the real Houjin Great Khan.

However, Huang Taiji also had a great fear of the Eight Banners system at this time, and he ordered the Han people to live separately from the Jurchens, re-emancipated the Han slaves who were divided by the Eight Banners, weakened the strength of the banners, and began to improve the status of the Han people in the country, in an attempt to contain the Jurchen relatives and nobles.

After that, the Bagu Mountain was set up, and the eight flags were divided, and the tradition of the eight banners being directly led by the eight banners was lifted. 32 ministers were also appointed to divide the power of the mountain. Huang Taiji was able to sleep at night without worrying about the other three big Baylors playing military tricks every day.

However, it is obvious that the work of establishing rules and regulations in the post-Jin state cannot be delayed any longer. The thought of having to face each other with the other three Baylor every day made him feel indescribably irritable. The Han people once said that there are no two days, but now there are 4 suns in the Houjin Kingdom, which is simply unreasonable.

It is no wonder that those Han people say that the Houjin people are just a group of savages who do not understand etiquette, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior. Huang Taiji shook his head, and after dissipating the thoughts in his head, he looked at the people below sternly and said, "You have been thinking about it for months, haven't you come up with a way to refute the crooked heresies in this book?" ”

Regarding Huang Taiji's questioning, Dahai and Ganglin remained silent, completely looking like they had nothing to do with themselves. Kur pondered for a moment and then came out and said: "Back to the Great Khan, this book, as the Great Khan said, is all some unbounded heresies, and it is not worth arguing at all.

It is a well-known fact that my Jurchen clan grew up between the white mountains and black waters. The southerners are only in vain, and in the end it will not prove that our ancestors came from that Tunguska region.

What's more, most of this book is specious and untrue, and if we speak out to defend ourselves, I am afraid that we will fall into the trap of the southerners, and eventually we will be suspected of wanting to cover it up. Therefore, the slave thinks that it is better to be still than to be still, and it is the best policy to ignore it. ”

Kurtang was born in the Haixi Jurchen Hada Division, is the grandson of Nurhachi, and has been brought up by Nurhachi since he was a child. This man is an all-round talent in humanities and martial arts, and he is as famous as the old minister Dahai in terms of Chinese attainments. When he became an adult, he was sent by Nurhachi to the Khalkha Mongolian Department and the Korqin Department to join the alliance, and they all completed their tasks well.

In the year of Nurhachi's death, he was ordered to go on an expedition to the Khalkhazarut Division, which was also a great success. It is regarded as a rising star in the Jurchens, so it is quite valued by Huang Taiji, and now the Wenguan is responsible for "recording the political affairs of the dynasty to show the history of the letter".

However, he has a deep friendship with Liu Xingzuo, and before Liu Xingzuo cheated to death and defected, Huang Taiji had received a hint of rumors, but because of Kurtang's assurance, he did not take action. This incident has made Huang Taiji alienate Kurtang recently, and he was noncommittal about Kurtang's suggestion, and instead asked several Hanchens: "You also see it that way?" ”

Fan Wencheng and Bao Chengxian glanced at each other, and then replied together: "The minions also agree with the opinion of Bakshkuer, this matter should not be moved, just ban this book in the country."

The most important thing now is the opening of the department next month. This is the first time since the Longxing of this dynasty to open a branch of scholars, and it is the foundation of our Houjin prosperity. As long as the country of Houjin is thriving, what the Southern Dynasty is doing today will only make people laugh. ”

Ning Wan and I calmly stood aside and observed Huang Taiji's expression, and found that the Great Khan's brows were slightly furrowed, and he didn't agree with these opinions very much, he suddenly stepped forward and said: "Great Khan, the slaves think that although what the Bakshikur Tang, Fan, and Ma said is good, but I can't completely ignore it after the Jin Kingdom. ”

Huang Taiji looked up at the Sakhalian family slave who recommended himself to him after he set up the museum, and couldn't help but nod slightly and said, "Let's talk about it, how to deal with it." ”

Ning Wan and I are different from Fan Wencheng, although he is also a student, but his family is poor, so he can't enter Nurhachi's vision. After working as a slave for the Jurchens for nearly ten years, he had long forgotten the integrity of a scholar, and only thought about being able to become a post-scholar and change his fate.

Therefore, after the establishment of the museum, his initiative in doing things was much higher than that of Han people such as Fan Wencheng. For example, catering to Huang Taiji's desire to strengthen the centralization of power, he proposed to Huang Taiji to follow the Ming Dynasty to set up a complete set of official systems to change the current chaotic rules of deliberation in the Later Jin Dynasty, and so on.

After getting Huang Taiji's approval, Ning Wan and I immediately said without thinking: "Da Ming deceived me Houjin with this book, because it is expected that we will be difficult to refute, but why do I need to refute Houjin."

The Southern Dynasty is long in literary affairs, but our country is prosperous in martial arts. He attacked each other with literature, and I should repay him by force. The Great Khan had previously summoned the leaders of the Mongol tribes to Beijing to discuss whether to attack Ming or Lin Dan Khan, and the relatives and nobles in Shenyang also knew about it.

After China signed a peace treaty with the Southern Dynasty last year, it was not uncommon for Ming merchants to travel to and from Shenyang City, and the servants expected that this news would inevitably reach the ears of the Southern Dynasty.

No matter which side our country sends troops to crusade, I am afraid that it will be prepared in advance. Therefore, the minions thought that the Great Khan should use this incident as an excuse to send a few elite troops to sweep the surrounding areas of Jinzhou. First, it is a response to the slander of our country by the Southern Dynasties, and secondly, it is to slack off the heart of the Southern Dynasties.

Since China has already sent troops to attack the Southern Dynasties once, it is not expected that the Chahar Department and the Southern Dynasties will send troops again this year to continue the crusade. It's the best way to kill two birds with one stone. ”

After listening to Ning Wan's words, Huang Taiji's face finally had a little smile, among the people in the literary hall, only this Ning Wan's idea was the most in line with his heart. He nodded at Ning Wan and said a faint word: "Good." ”

After Huang Taiji made up his mind, he asked Dahai to issue an edict. The oracle said: "From ancient times to the present, both civil and military have been used, ruling the world with literature and defeating the enemy with force." Today, I want to revitalize culture and education, and try to recruit students. All the students of Zhubeile Mansion and Manchu, Han and Mongolia were ordered to go to the test. The Chinese style is compensated by him. ”

Subsequently, in the court meeting, he carried out a small-scale feint attack on the Ming Dynasty on the grounds of confusing Lin Dan Khan. This suggestion finally won the support of the Manchurian and Mongolian nobles, and as long as Amin and Daishan ensured that Yingkou was not affected, they did not have any special interests in Jinzhou, the public trading port of the Later Jin.

In order to maintain the trade relationship with the Ming Dynasty, Amin also instructed his eldest son Erli to take the initiative to inform the steward of the Four Seas Commercial Bank to a certain extent.

In Amin's opinion, the Ming army, which did not dare to go out of the city to fight, even if they knew that Houjin sent troops to attack, they were just staying in the city and watching. And this time, Houjin sent troops to feint, not to capture Jinzhou, Ningyuan and other places. Therefore, when he revealed the news, not only would it not hinder Houjin's plan to send troops, but he would also be able to sell it to the Ming people.

In addition, Houjin sent troops to Jinzhou, Ningyuan and other places, which was equivalent to temporarily blocking Jinzhou, a land trade port, if the Ming people did not cut off the sea navigation road of Yingkou, it would be a good thing for him and Daishan. Because, in this way, Yingkou became the only treaty port between Houjin and Daming.

In fact, just as Amin expected, in early September, Belezir Harang and others sent troops outside Jinzhou and Ningyuan, looted thousands of Han people and returned to Shenyang, and the Ming army just sat in the city and held on, and did not dare to send troops to confront the Houjin soldiers in the field.

When the document of the victory report of the Jin invasion of Jinzhou and the repulsion of the Ming army was transmitted back to the capital, Zhu Youzhen and the General Staff were suspicious, after all, except for a document of victory, Zu Dashou did not even send a head to the capital.

However, in consideration of appeasing the military morale of Liaoxi, at the suggestion of Sun Chengzong, Zhu Youzhen still agreed to commend the meritorious personnel for this defense, but there were many spiritual rewards and few material rewards.

When Zu Dashou and the generals of Liaoxi received the rewards issued by the imperial court, they complained a lot, thinking that the current Chongzhen Emperor was much more stingy than his brother.

Houjin's dispatch thundered loudly and rained little, and it was repulsed so easily that Chongzhen was quite suspicious. In his opinion, the Later Jin Dynasty convened the new Mongolian ministries to discuss the expedition with such fanfare, and it was impossible for them to be repelled by these Ming troops in Liaoxi so easily.

After the Chahar Department moved westward, although the Mongolian tribes in eastern Liaodong submitted to the Later Jin Dynasty, the people's hearts were not yet stable after all. If the Later Jin really wanted to lead the Mongol tribes to attack, it would definitely take an undoubted victory to deter these newly annexed Mongols.

Sun Chengzong and several members of the General Staff thought the same, so the General Staff continued to issue orders to the border towns in the north, demanding that they should be on increased vigilance and not slacken.
