Huang Taiji suddenly found that he was old, and this time he really felt old.

The west of the Liao River has always been stable, but the fangs are gradually showing under this stability, that is, the Ming army completely forbade commerce and trade to cross the Liao River to do business, that is to say, since the Qing Dynasty and the Ming court negotiated peace, the Ming army and the Eight Banners Army did not have any conflict, but commerce and trade were completely banned, and it was impossible for any materials from the Ming Dynasty to enter the Qing Dynasty.

The process of prohibiting trade and trade is slow, and no particularly bad effects can be seen in a short period of time.

The Eight Banners Army has entered Beizhili several times to plunder, and has obtained a lot of money, food and population, which has made the Qing Dynasty in a superficial prosperity, but as the Zheng family army becomes stronger and stronger, with Zheng Xunrui ascending to the throne of the Ming Emperor, the past situation of entering the customs and looting is gone, not only that, but the surroundings of the Great Qing Kingdom have encountered the only one.

Needless to say, the Ming army has completely occupied all the places west of the Liao River, completely blocking the way of trade in the Qing Dynasty, and in southern Liaoning, the Ming army also occupies most of the place, and under the control of the Qing Dynasty, that is, Haizhou, Gaizhou and Yaozhou and other cities, as for the passage connecting the Qing State to North Korea, it has long been occupied by the Ming army.

Only the grassland tribes in the northwest can be contacted, but the grasslands are even more barren than those of the Qing Dynasty.

In other words, it was impossible for the Great Qing State to break through the blockade of the Ming court and army.

The trade on the sea is even more impossible, the Qing Dynasty did not have a regular sailor, and the most courageous Manchu Eight Banners mainly relied on the strength of the cavalry.

By the time Huang Taiji realized this, he had already fallen into a situation where he was powerless to return to the sky.

The factors of instability within the Great Qing Kingdom have long been revealed, according to Huang Taiji's original thoughts. The Manchus must be united, and the Manchu nobles need to take the lead, which is not bad, and the Manchus of the Great Qing Dynasty are indeed very united, but unfortunately this unity is only limited to the Manchus.

The Han Chinese, Koreans, and so on of the Great Qing Kingdom have been completely plunged into darkness. There is no future in sight.

The suppression and bullying of the Han people by the Manchus and the Manchu nobles has reached an unprecedented level, and even in Shenyang, there have been cases of smashing and looting the shops of the Han people and looting the goods in the shops, and the government has turned a blind eye to such things, as if they had never appeared at all.

Not to mention many Manchurian noble families, there are often Han slaves who are tortured to death, you must know that Huang Taiji once decreed that it is not allowed to bully the slaves at will, let alone execute the slaves at will. It is a pity that in the Great Qing Dynasty, nearly a year has passed, and such things have come and gone, at first some Manchu nobles still knew how to cover up, and later they were unscrupulous, and even hung the corpses of Han people who were tortured to death in a conspicuous place at home to warn more Han people.

Han people who have been bullied basically have little way to live. They were always in danger, which led to the fact that most of the Han people began to flee from the Liao River and even southern Liao. Only a small number of Han Chinese were lucky, some crossed the Liao River, or fled from southern Liaoning to places controlled by the Ming army, while many more were unable to flee and were captured and subjected to even more ruthless torture. Even the family was not spared.

Huang Taiji knew all this, but he didn't have Long Yan angry, and he didn't even punish the Manchurians who did too much.

You must know that there are too many Manchu nobles who do these things, Prince Dai Shan, Prince Rui Dolgon, Prince Su Haoge and Prince Yu Duoduo are all Manchu nobles among them, and Huang Taiji can't punish them at all. Unless he wants to make a real move on the Manchurian noble group.

Nearly two years ago, Huang Taiji took the opportunity to punish the county kings Adali and Bel Shuoto, which caused a great shock among the Manchu nobles, and everyone realized that there could be no cracks in the middle of the Manchu nobles, and if anyone wanted to calculate the Manchu nobles, Huang Taiji would not spare them, so the anger of the Manchu nobles was transferred to the Han and Koreans.

The act of torturing and hating the Han people will cause some small-scale turmoil, but on the whole it will not endanger the stability of the Great Qing State, but the lack of food will really make the Great Qing State unsustainable.

The consequences of the trade blockade are already being felt, but of course there are also consequences of hatred and abuse of the Han Chinese.

The place occupied by the Qing Dynasty, the climate is very cold, the grain output is very low, and it can not even be compared with the north of the Ming Dynasty, as for the grain production in the south of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for the Qing Dynasty to reach, people always need to eat, whether it is rice or flour, the population of the Qing Dynasty is a lot, after many plunders, the Manchus, Han people, Mongols and Koreans living in the Qing Dynasty, etc., have exceeded three million people.

Among them, there are nearly a million people.

This is a good thing, especially since the Manchus began to grow, which also shows that the pace of development of the Great Qing Dynasty is quite fast, much better than in previous years.

But things are not always on the positive side, so many people in the Great Qing Kingdom always need to eat to survive.

On the issue of eating, Huang Taiji could not just care about the Manchus and Mongols, and not care about the lives and deaths of others.

It's a pity that the Qing Kingdom can't get so much food and can't feed so many people.

The Manchus hardly knew how to farm, and there would be no Manchus willing to engage in farming, they were the masters of the Qing Dynasty, they were the rulers, and they only had to exploit the Han and Koreans, and this labor was not something they needed to do.

For example, when the Manchus plough an acre of land, eighty percent of the harvest must be handed over, and the remaining two percent can be used to sustain their lives, but these two percent of the grain is not the property of the Han people, and it may be deprived by the Manchus anytime and anywhere, and the Manchus think that these grains are given to the Han people.

Under such circumstances, the Han people could not survive at all.

From the second year of Ruiyuan to the third year of Ruiyuan, more than 100,000 Han and Koreans starved to death in the Qing Dynasty.

The Manchus, who have been exploiting the Han and Koreans, do not care, in their opinion, the Han people die when they die, it is not a big deal, but in the eyes of Huang Taiji, this situation is the arrival of annihilation.

Without the cultivation of the Han people, what do the Manchus eat, there is no wealth created by the Han people, what do the Manchus live on, do they want to go back to the white water of Black Mountain and live on hunting, so many Manchu people, hunting can not feed at all.

Huang Taiji consulted with Prince Zheng Zierharang many times, trying to prevent the bullying of Han and Mongols, but the resourceful Zierharang was also at a loss for this, because the Manchu hatred of the Han people has become a trend of thought, especially in these years, after the Eight Banners Army was repeatedly defeated by the Ming army, the anger of the Manchu nobles had no place to vent.

The loss of the territory that Liaoxi has had brought this hatred to its climax, and the process of venting hatred is long and impossible to stop for a while.

What worries Huang Taiji even more is that the mood of the Han people in the court is becoming more and more decadent, on the one hand, they are suppressed and humiliated by the Manchus, and on the other hand, they also begin to form a silent confrontation.

Fan Wencheng's change is the most worrying thing for Huang Taiji.

After the Qing Dynasty appeared to reject the Han people's thoughts and actions, Fan Wencheng's attitude changed dramatically, Fan Wencheng was able to speak before, imploring the emperor to prevent such a situation from happening, but after seeing the bullying and insulting of the Han people becoming more and more serious, Fan Wencheng chose to remain silent, and since then he no longer speaks easily, and basically closes the door after returning to the mansion.

Huang Taiji still has some guilt and understanding for Fan Wencheng in his heart, nearly two years have passed, a lot of things have happened, Prince Yu Duoduo once publicly scolded Fan Wencheng in the Dazheng Palace, saying that Fan Wencheng is not a qualified minion, not even a minion, and blamed the failure of the battle of Liaodong on Fan Wencheng, although Huang Taiji angrily reprimanded Duoduo, but since then, the Manchurians directly attacked the Han people in the Dazheng Palace.

Fan Wencheng became a bullseye and suffered too many insults.

Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to expect Fan Wencheng to be able to show the enthusiasm of the past.

In terms of power and strategy, and even in terms of how to develop the Qing Dynasty, the scholars among the Han people have a very good ability in this regard, and in comparison, the Manchus are much worse, and Huang Taiji must rely on the Han people to develop the Qing Dynasty.

It's a pity that Huang Taiji found that he couldn't rely on Fan Wencheng and other Han people, because people no longer spoke, even if they were scolded by the Manchurian nobles, they didn't say a word and endured it silently.

Fan Wencheng's ability, Huang Taiji fully believed, he vaguely remembered that when he discussed things with Fan Wencheng, Fan Wencheng specially reminded Liaodong about the matter, saying that after discussing peace with the Ming court, it was necessary to pay attention to trade matters, and to find ways to open up trade channels, but at that time Huang Taiji did not particularly care.

Huang Taiji's mind at that time was still on stabilizing the Manchu group, and he had no time to take care of other things.

From this, it can be seen that Fan Wencheng has long found that there are very likely to be big problems in commerce and trade, which will affect the Qing Dynasty.

It is precisely because of Fan Wencheng's decadence that Huang Taiji has anger in his heart, and he rarely asks Fan Wencheng directly in terms of government affairs, of course, Huang Taiji's estrangement from Fan Wencheng has led to the oppression of the Han people by the Manchu nobles more rampant.

When he found that the situation was difficult to control, Huang Taiji began to attach great importance to this matter, but Huang Taiji's awakening seemed to be too late, because the once strong Qing Kingdom, unconsciously, had already shown its weak side, lack of food and grass, internal instability, had poisoned the once extremely strong body of the Great Qing Kingdom.
