Fan Wencheng hurriedly finished saying these words, although he was a little unfinished, but after all, he had finished expressing the meaning he wanted to express. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Fan Wencheng originally did not have the power to advise and discuss politics in this place, he was just one of the nearly 100 Han people in the Jixian Yuan set up by Huang Taiji, although he was very valued by Huang Taiji, but he did not have official positions and privileges above others.

But Fan Wencheng is more clever than others in that he is not an ordinary dancer who helps Huang Taiji deal with various documents, he has a higher ambition, that is, to assist Huang Taiji to become the master of the whole world, on the one hand, to complete his ambition to assist the Ming Lord to take the world, on the other hand, to let the so-called talents in the Ming Dynasty who have to be promoted to see who has more vision and who is more talented Zhuge Wuhou.

At the same time, he was also keenly aware that at this time, there was a power struggle between Huang Taiji and the other banner owners of the Eight Banners, Huang Taiji wanted to centralize power, while the other banner owners wanted to maintain the original Eight Banners system, especially the system of the Eight Kings sitting together to discuss politics.

Fan Wencheng, who is familiar with the annals of the Han people, discovered this, and he is very sure that he has a God-given opportunity to get ahead.

These Jurchens have not read many Han history books, and they don't know how many terrible things those emperors in Han history can do in order to consolidate their power, but Fan Wencheng knows it clearly.

Unite the two white flags and clean up the two Bel Amin, which has the shadow of Fan Wencheng's plan.

And today, on the occasion of discussing politics in the Dugong Palace, Fan Wencheng dared to stand up and offer advice, which was precisely to grasp Huang Taiji's psychology.

Because he stood up to speak and participated in the discussion of the palace of Dugong, it was tantamount to breaking the rules of the Eight Kings of Politics, and whoever Huang Taiji wanted to let participate in this discussion in the future could participate, rather than only the five ministers left by the banner owner Baylor and the old slave could discuss the government.

Therefore, he also believes that even if what he says is not accepted by Huang Taiji, as long as he stands up bravely, he will inevitably have a heavier position in Huang Taiji's heart.

Fan Wencheng knows that there are some things that he can't say directly to Huang Taiji as a coated minion, as an outsider, you are separated from other people's fathers and sons, in case that sentence is not right, you are facing an abyss from which you will never recover.

But I don't say it myself, but do what Huang Taiji wants someone to do, and the effect is better than saying it.

Sure enough, after Fan Wencheng stood up and said this, Huang Taiji was very happy and said: "Fan review, it is worthy of the review of Jixian Academy!" I have taken what you say! ”

After saying this, Huang Taiji continued: "In the future, no matter who you are, as long as you have a stick in your belly and a good plan in your chest, you can go to the Dugong Palace to discuss matters." For the sake of my wealth and strength, for the prosperity of my Eight Banners, what can I not say, who is not available?! ”

After Huang Taiji finished these words, his eyes looked at Mang Gultai intentionally or unintentionally, and then said: "Banner Lord Baylor and Minister Chenban, do you have any objections to what Fang Caifan said? ”

Huang Taiji has already said that he has accepted all of them, and if he asks like this now, who else can be so blind and stubbornly oppose Huang Taiji.

It's just that at this time, Hu Erhan, who was in the Wuchen class, suddenly said: "The slave thinks that it is indeed a good policy and a top priority at this time for Fan to review what Shicai said, and send people to make a detour to Mongolia to contact the merchants of the Southern Dynasty and open up trade routes as soon as possible." Please sweat profusely! ”

"Today's discussion of the Gong Palace, I have a successful calculation in my heart. Immediately ordered the blue flag master Jierharang to lead half of the Niu Lu to the front line of Zhenjiang Fort to garrison the tun, one to arrest and intercept the Han people to flee to the Dongjiang River, and those who were arrested on the riverside were killed on the spot; Second, to defend against the attack of the Ming army in Dongjiang Town, if the time is ripe, you can also wait for the opportunity to cross the river to attack the Ming army in Dongjiang Town.

"Immediately ordered Yue Tuo, the lord of the Red Flag Banner, to lead the Niu Lu of the Department to the Douman River Estuary, to collect the unsatisfactory cattle of the Wula Savage Division, and make up for the shortage of his forty Niu Lu as soon as possible.

"That is, the owner of the Zhenglan Banner Mang Gurtai, together with the Zhenghuang Banner of I, will go north to the old land of Yilan Hara to conquer the unsubdued savage tribes of the three surnames of Haixi, depending on the number of captures, the blue flag and the two yellow flags can each be added with ten ox records."

Speaking of this, Huang Taiji looked at Dai Shan, who was expressionless, and said: "Hauge, the eldest son of Da Beile and I, led the 30,000 elite army of Zhenghong Banner and Yellow Banner to sit in Shenyang to prevent the attack of the Ming army in western Liaoning. ”

After saying these words, Huang Taiji paused, looked at the ministers in the palace, and waited for their statement.

And the others didn't let him wait long, Hauge took the lead and bowed down and said: "The yellow flag is in accordance with the will of the Great Khan!" ”

Then the three banner lords of Daishan, Jilharang, and Yuetuo, as well as the five ministers of the Ranks, also got up from their seats, bowed down, and said, "Do the will of the Great Khan!" ”

Seeing this, Mang Gurtai had no choice but to bow down and receive the order.

After everyone received the will, Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng and said: "What Fan said is very reasonable, although my Dajin is not a good opportunity to send troops to the Southern Dynasty at this time, but to completely solve the survival worries of my Dajin, the only way to go south to break the blockade of the Southern Dynasty is the fundamental way."

"Everything I do today is to one day break the border wall, conquer the Southern Dynasty, and give me the noble children of the Eight Banners with the wealth and prosperity of the Southern Dynasty. I hope that you will work together with me to overcome this difficult time! ”

After Huang Taiji said this, everyone in the hall bowed down and said yes, but Huang Taiji continued: "Fan Wencheng can carry my will in the near future to Horqin to help open up the trade routes of the Southern Dynasties, and get in touch with the merchants of the Southern Dynasties as soon as possible. This matter was led by Hu Erhan and handled by Fan Wencheng. ”

After Huang Taiji said this, he stepped down from his throne, turned around and left the Dugong Hall through the back door, and the other people in the Dugong Hall waited for Huang Taiji to leave, and they also walked away in a moment, leaving only Hu Erhan and Fan Wencheng to go out while discussing, and go south to contact the merchants of the Ming Dynasty and open up the specific affairs of the trade route.

On the third day after the end of the deliberations, that is, the nineteenth day of the first month of the second year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and the nineteenth day of the first month of the third year of Jin Tiancong, Yue Tuo led the red flag with greatly damaged strength, and went north to the mouth of the Douman River in the face of unexpected snowstorms.

Along the way, he successively occupied Jingcheng and Wencheng, which originally belonged to the northern part of Hamjing Province in North Korea, and confronted the Ming army of Dongjiang Town, which occupied the southern part of Hamjing Province such as Hamxing and Jiju, while continuing to go north to capture the Koreans near Ningguta and the young and strong Dingkou of the Jurchen tribes in Haixi, looting women's wealth, and seizing the time to replenish and strengthen the strength of the red flag.

And Zierharang, who took over the blue flag instead of his brother, took the blue flag with his strength and did not suffer much loss, and went out of the Zhenjiang Fort on the west bank of the Yalu River in the town, and confronted the Ming army of Dongjiang Town across the river from guarding the mansion of Andong Town.

Later, Jin's Tiancong Khan Huang Taiji, also after leaving the New Year, took the Zhenghuang Banner of his direct lineage, as well as the Zhenglan Banner under the command of Mang Gurtai, all the way through Tieling, Yehe (Siping of later generations), Ula (Jilin), Ash River (Acheng), and went north to Yilan Hara.

Along the way, he led a large army to meet with the leaders of the various tribes who belonged to him, and sealed a large number of Beltaiji official hats, and also obtained cattle, sheep, horses, and grain and grass offerings from various tribes.

At the beginning of March, they arrived near Yilanhara at the confluence of the Naowen River and the Usikhon River, set up a large military camp on the snowy field, and then sent troops out to capture the half-nomadic and half-settled Hezhe, Daur and half-Jurchen Mongols.

Today's tribes are more backward than the Jurchens and Mongolians, they are distributed along the middle reaches of the Naowen River and the Usihun River, and there are neither cities nor writing, because the place where they live is where these mature Jurchens of the Later Jin Kingdom once lived, and the language they speak belongs to the Tungusic language family, so they were also called Shengjurchen and Savage Jurchen by the Ming Dynasty people at that time.

The Naowen River here is the Songhua River in later generations, and the Wusihun River is the Mudanjiang River in later generations, and the confluence of the two rivers is Yilan County, Heilongjiang in later generations.

In the Jurchen language, Yilan is the meaning of three, and Hala is the meaning of the surname, so for a long time after the Manchu Dynasty, this Yilan Hara was called "three surnames".
