Chapter 1274: Mystery
Qu Qingze and Su Jun never slept much.
Huang Zaisheng of Shenyang, after so many years of hard work, has established a set of strict intelligence network, a lot of information from Houjin, is sent through Huang Zaisheng, although there are a lot of things about Qu Qingze and Su Jun, but most of their energy is still on intelligence, plus both of them believe that the extermination of Houjin Tartar is something that does not need to be questioned, no matter what the situation, the emperor will not forget such a big thing.
But the two of them also don't understand, whether it is from the strength of the Jiangning camp or the endurance of the imperial court, it is not too much to start the conquest of the Houjin Tartars directly, let alone a difficult thing, it should be said that the extermination of the Houjin Tartars is expected, but they just didn't wait for the emperor to issue an order.
Not only Qu Qingze and Su Jun were anxious, including Zhu Xianxuan, Yang Sichang, Fan Jingwen, Hong Chengchou and Zhang Pu and others, they were all very anxious, they even went directly to the fold and asked the imperial court to start the conquest of the Houjin Tartars, after all, the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty was in Beiping, which was not very far from Liaodong, so that the Houjin Tartars were entrenched in Liaodong, and there was also a threat to the imperial court, not to mention that the Houjin Tartars also controlled most of the grasslands, according to the emperor's intentions, all these places were under the control of the Great Jin Dynasty. It must be under the control of the imperial court.
It is the autumn harvest season soon, and the autumn is high and cool, which is the most suitable time for the expedition, not to mention that after the autumn harvest, the grain is sufficient, and the golden tartar will be logical after the expedition.
Thanks to God's blessing, but also thanks to the emperor's wisdom and wisdom, the climate in the second year of the Great Jin Dynasty has been good, and few places have encountered major natural disasters, although the Black Death has caused a huge threat, but the affected places are not very large. In addition, the control is very strict, stifling the signs of spread, and the losses are not too heavy, plus the places where the Black Death spreads are basically controlled by the Ming Dynasty in the past, and the impact is relatively small.
Nice climate. In addition, the government at all levels devoted great energy to management and service during the spring ploughing, so everyone could have imagined that the second year of the Great Jin Dynasty must be a great harvest year.
With food, the people will not go hungry, the world will definitely be stable, and the people will take food as the sky.
Under such circumstances, after the autumn harvest, the attack on the Houjin Tartars was launched. It is an unquestionable thing.
But Zhu Xianxuan and others felt it, the emperor didn't seem to have this meaning, to say that Liaodong is dismantling the border army on a large scale, and the main consideration is the placement of the dismissed sergeants, the imperial court has completely abolished the military household system, and the recruitment measures will be fully implemented in the future, the officers are relatively fixed, and the salaries of officers and sergeants are completely different. It should be said that the dismantling of the border army in Liaodong will not have much impact on the Golden Tartars after the conquest.
And it was clear to the people. The emperor is sure to exterminate the Houjin Tartars, and when to do it specifically, that is a matter for the emperor to consider, and Yang Sichang, who is in charge of the military department, believes that it is his duty to make suggestions to the emperor. Otherwise, wouldn't the military department need to exist, so he asked the emperor alone to submit a recital, suggesting that after the autumn harvest, launch a comprehensive attack on the Houjin Tartars.
Su Tiancheng has already received a lot of compendium, and it is recommended to carry out the most requisition of the Houjin Tartar. After the incomplete extermination, the Jin Tartars did not collect their troops, and even some officials in the DPRK and China expressed their stance that if the imperial court could not afford the military salaries and grain and grass for a while, they would petition to donate it.
How could Su Tiancheng not want to completely exterminate the Houjin Tartars, the predecessor of the Houjin Tartars was the Jianzhou Jurchens, this is a strong nation, after the integration of Nurhachi, it has become particularly powerful, if it is not for himself to change history, the one who dominates the Central Plains and the land of Shenzhou is the Houjin Tartar, so completely eradicating the Houjin Tartars is the historical mission that he will complete no matter what.
But how to grasp the timing needs to be carefully considered.
The Great Jin Dynasty has been erected, the next stage of the focus of the matter, is to develop the economy, so that the people's life slowly improves, this is the most important, it can almost be said that all matters must serve the development of the economy and the prosperity of the people, including the extermination of the Golden Tartars, but also need to be considered from this aspect.
Fighting a war requires the consumption of a lot of money, there is no doubt that the Houjin Tartars have looted so many times in the Guannei, and have long gathered a lot of wealth, and the development of history has a natural law, that is, the strong and prosperous nation often has strong economic strength, so Su Tiancheng not only wants to exterminate the Houjin Tartars from the military top, but also wants to completely destroy the Houjin Tartars from the economic side, so that the Houjin Tartars have no chance to make a comeback, and can only obediently obey the leadership of the imperial court, to put it bluntly, Su Tiancheng's requirements are higher.
Su Tiancheng's idea was not understood by the Minister of Civil Affairs and Military Affairs of the DPRK.
Normally, many ministers of civil and military affairs think that the complete extermination of the Houjin Tartars is to destroy them physically, and as for the wealth they have, it is enough to grab them directly.
In this regard, Su Tiancheng needs to explain.
Qianqing Palace.
Su Tiancheng took Yang Sichang's recital, looked at everyone and spoke.
"Yang Aiqing is on the fold, suggesting an attack on the Houjin Tartars, the time is after the autumn harvest, at this time, my Jiangning battalion is strong and strong, and it will definitely be able to exterminate the Houjin Tartars in one go, I think, you also think so."
"I'm going to talk about it in detail today."
"Completely exterminating the Houjin Tartar has always been what I want to do, no matter what kind of difficulties I encounter, this determination cannot be shaken, so you don't have to worry, I will never be satisfied because I have ascended the throne, because I have entered the capital, I should be left to chase after the poor, not to sell the name of the overlord."
"But how to exterminate the Houjin Tartars, is it still the same as before, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion fought bravely, eliminated the Manchu Eight Banners, the Han Eight Banners and even the Mongolian Eight Banners, and all the tasks were completed, I don't think so."
"The imperial court has made so many decisions, to establish a bank, to issue paper money in a unified manner, what is all this for, you all know the Tao, it is for my Great Jin Dynasty to be stronger, for the people to live a better life, in this case, I want to remind you, after the destruction of the Golden Tartars, is it also necessary to consider this aspect."
"The Houjin Tartars have plundered many times in my Central Plains, captured a large number of ordinary people, and robbed countless money, in the Liaodong they control, the Manchus have a natural sense of superiority, and the Han people are their slaves, and the reason why they can be so arrogant is nothing more than relying on their own bravery, relying on a large amount of gold and silver in their hands."
"I thought of more things, if the imperial court exterminated the Houjin Tartars and exterminated the Huang Taiji today, will another Huang Taiji emerge tomorrow and continue to lead the Houjin Tartars to rebel, will the imperial court fall into a vicious circle, causing Liaodong to become the most unstable place."
"Maybe some people will say, if you are not convinced, you will kill, everyone will be killed, see if they are still qualified to rebel, but I don't see it this way, if you go on according to this line of thinking, what is left is hatred, this hatred, after years of brewing, there will always be a time to break out."
Speaking of this, Su Tiancheng stood up, walked down the Jinluan Palace, and came to everyone's side.
"Speaking of this, some people may have understood that what I mean is not only to defeat the Houjin Tartars physically, but also to completely defeat them spiritually, that is to say, the Houjin Tartars must rely on the imperial court in the future to survive, and must obey the management of the government in order to live a good life, and at this time, the Houjin Tartars can be completely stabilized."
"My requirements are very high, I believe that the military department will feel a headache, the head grows on other people's heads, what they think, how can they control it, besides, Huang Taiji is not an ordinary person, and it is even more difficult to be swayed."
"To do this, the role of the bank, the role of paper money is probably huge, if this aspect can be operated well, I believe that without the need to use much troops, the imperial court can completely exterminate the Houjin Tartars, and let the Houjin Tartars forever depend on the imperial court and obey the jurisdiction of the government."
The eyes of Zhu Xianxuan and others lit up, they discussed the role of banks and paper money many times, the emperor mentioned the role of banks and paper money at this time, the purpose is obvious, think about it, if the bank can absorb most of the gold and silver treasures of the Houjin Tartar, the paper money of the imperial court can be passed in Shenyang, at this time, the treasury of the Houjin Tartar is almost equal to the direct control of the imperial court, and when the time comes, it will be really much simpler to completely exterminate the Houjin Tartar.
Moreover, banks and paper money can completely influence the life of the Houjin Tartars, so that they must rely on the imperial court.
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Zhu Xianxuan spoke.
"Your Majesty, the minister understood, the minister suggested that banks should be opened in Jinzhou, Ningyuan, Dalinghecheng and other places in Liaodong, and at the same time, Liaodong must also use the currency issued by the imperial court, as for the mutual market with the Houjin Tartars, the minister suggested that it be temporarily closed, and the Houjin Tartars occupied Guangning, Xipingbao and Yizhou and other places, and the mutual markets did not exist in the first place, as for the mutual markets of Jingbian and Anningbao, the minister suggested that the support should be increased......"
Everyone is very smart and basically understands the meaning of this.
What made everyone have to be convinced was that the emperor looked far away, and everyone didn't think of this at all, and thought that Jiang Ningying swung a knife to kill the past, completely exterminated the Houjin Tartars, and all the tasks were completed, the emperor thought that it was not so simple, not only to wield a knife to kill the past, but also to deprive the Houjin Tartars of their wealth, so that the Houjin Tartars must be attached to the imperial court, so that it is possible to really live, such a method has to be said to be the most appropriate and thorough.
