Chapter 230: Pour dirty water on Jiannu (4,000-character chapter)

After listening to Emperor Chongzhen's orders, Xu Xianchun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this time, he took back Li Crook and his bandits, a total of 103 people, and took back Wu Tiande's family and the nine clans to a total of 327 people. He has been detained in prison. Do you want it?"

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said, "Don't always make things so gloomy. If these people deserve to die, they will be judged by the Ming Dynasty. Just kill the chicken and warn the monkeys. If you are not as guilty as possible, you will deal with it separately."

Xu Xianchun bowed and said, "It's said, Wen Tiren, Shi Feng came, Cui Chengxiu entered the palace."

After Wen Tiren and others arrived in the palace, Emperor Chongzhen asked, "How are the rebuilding of the Denglai Navy and the treasure ship?"

Wen Tiren thought about it and replied: "Your Majesty, the Denglai Navy has completed the dispatch of troops and has begun training.

Only the treasure ship will take three years to get into the water.”

Although Emperor Chongzhen was just a programmer, according to the Ming Dynasty, he actually felt quite ignorant, but he was not an idiot after all, and he knew that the matter of the treasure ship was too urgent.

Chongzhen nodded and continued, "This time Xu Aiqing went south to Zhejiang, but he caught a very big fish. How to deal with it? Let's set a tone today."

After saying that, he ordered Xu Xianchun to tell the story of Wu Tiande and Li Crook.

After listening to Xu Xianchun's retelling, Wen Tiren bowed and said, "Wu Tiande and Li Crooked should be killed, and it is not an exaggeration to punish them no matter how much they are. Only the rest of the people are the best to stay."

Chongzhen snorted coldly and said, "What do you say? The rest of the people shouldn't die?"

Wen Tiren bowed and said, "I will tell you, although I deserve to die, it is a waste.

According to news recently, according to the news from the governor of Shaanxi, His Highness, the Grand His Highness of the King of Tang, has attracted some refugees, but the famine in Shaanxi has been greatly alleviated.

However, His Majesty ordered work to be used for relief in the previous period. When the refugees recruited by His Highness followed His Highness to the death, the plan to repair the river bridges made by the Ministry of Works of the previous period would still require additional personnel."

Chongzhen sneered, "There are only a few hundred people, and it's useless to kill them all."

Besides, in the next ten years of the Ming Dynasty, there will be another year that will be calm, and there are still no refugees.

Even if the refugees were recruited by these vassal kings, at most they could pay wages to the common people and recruit workers and work.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen sneered: "Forget it, I won't discuss this matter, I'll kill the nine clans."

Oh my god! Are you asking a few of us to come to the palace just for this? Let us discuss it, but you decided to kill the nine clans by yourself. Then why are you calling us for?

Wen Tiren was about to object again, but Chongzhen continued: "What I care more about is actually the matter in Liaodong.

Since Jiannu has started buying grain at a high price, the situation will inevitably be unoptimistic, otherwise he would not have done such a thing."

Wen Tiren thought about it and it was indeed as Emperor Chongzhen said. If it weren't for the lack of food too much, Jiannu wouldn't have colluded with Li Crooked and bought grain at a high price.

Wen Tiren glanced at Choi Chengxiu and signaled Choi Chengxiu to answer first.

Cui Chengxiu cursed Wen Tiren in her heart and was indeed an old fox. I have to take the blame for this kind of culprit.

Cui Chengxiu bowed and said, "I will tell you, as far as I know, Jiannu is not having a good life now, so it is normal to buy food."

Emperor Chongzhen was disappointed when he heard this and said, "According to Jiannu's nature, where did the money for buying grain come from? You can't just take Jiannu's own money?"

Wen Tiren and Shi Fenglai were speechless.

Where did Jiannu get the money to buy food? I have to ask Jiannu if he is not. Besides, what if they really bought it with their own money?

Cui Chengxiu guessed what Emperor Chongzhen wanted to say, and immediately bowed: "Qi Majesty, in the first month of the fourth year of the Tianqi, the old slave Nurhaci issued a pseudo-khan imperial edict nine times in a row, and sent a large number of Jiannu to investigate the grain and grain of Han people. Anyone who had a grain that was less than a piece of hardware was designated as a "grainless person."

Old Nu Nurhaci insulted the "people without grain" as "not plowing the fields, without grain, and not settling down at home, and wanted to escape from here to another place", and ordered the Jiannu to "receive the people without grain as enemies". He found that he was "begging for food" and immediately "captured them and sent them to him". On the 27th of the first lunar month, he "killed the Nikan who was found from all over the place and sent them to him."

I’m afraid that now this little boy Huang Taiji is using the same trick again.”

As a historical novices, Emperor Chongzhen really didn't know much about these things.

Later generations knew that the Han people in Liaodong all went through Guandong, but what about the Han people before they entered Guandong?

In fact, Liaodong belonged to the Liaodong Dusi in the Ming Dynasty and was incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the eighth year of Hongwu. The Ming Dynasty established 25 guards and 2 prefectures in the Liaodong Dusi, of which 25 guards were Han people's settlement areas and 2 prefectures were ethnic minority settlement areas.

Like other Han regimes in history, the Ming Dynasty often only counts the Han population but not the ethnic minority population when counting population, because only Han people bear taxes.

Liaodong has been a Han settlement since ancient times. In ancient times, it was the land of Youzhou, one of the nine provinces. The residents were mainly Han nationality, and the population was not small. Among the 25 guards, the Jinzhou guard Yiwei had a population of 45,620 during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that the 25 guards in Liaodong had a population of more than 1 million Han nationality during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. This is not considered the military households and their families.

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the total population of the Ming Dynasty was only 60 million, while China's population is now more than 1.3 billion. If we look at the normal population reproduction ratio, based on the 1 million people, their descendants should have more than 20 million, which will account for more than half of the total population of 40.9 million in Liaoning, which is definitely not rare.

There is only one reason for the extinction of the descendants of the indigenous people in Liaoning now, and their ancestors collectively "disappeared".

It was once a rich area where "the fields are rich in valleys, the mountains are rich in wealth, and the seas are rich in goods", "the family is sufficient, the people are despised and the food is full, and the goods are envied", which has caused a sharp decline in population, the countryside is deserted, the houses are ruined, all industries are in decline, the society is chaotic, the people are uneasy, the people are still living, the famine is frequent, the prices are soaring, and even the tragic situation of "people eat each other".

Even so, the old Nurhaci repeatedly clamored and killed the poor and rich people and killed the unsubmissive Nikan. The entire Han people in Liaodong were almost completely slaughtered by Nurhaci's rebellion.

The Han people in Liaodong who were lucky enough to be slaughtered became slaves of Jiannu, which was also the first group of Chinese to become slaves of Tungus. A few others were incorporated into the Eight Banners of the Han army in the puppet army.

As for Huang Taiji, Emperor Chongzhen’s biggest impression of this person was that he came from a later generation of a kneeling drama "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang", and also from Zha Mouyong's "Blue Blood Sword". What are the things they are, and Chongzhen didn’t take them seriously.

But now, after all, I have been back through time. Based on the existing information from the Ming Dynasty, I can see clearly what Huang Taiji is.

The so-called emphasis on Han officials and Han troops is actually a helpless move.

In terms of production technology, planting or iron smelting, these jobs that obviously have technical content are not something that Jiannu and the Tungus fishing and hunting nation can play with.

When it comes to marching and fighting, Jiannu is actually the case. Jiannu, who was the best in the military book with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, wanted to fight against the Han people who had been fighting for almost thousands of years, which was basically a joke.

In the original history, before Old Wei was killed, Jiannu was always besieged, and it was simply nonsense to go south.

The same is true now. If Emperor Chongzhen had not thought of using Huang Taiji's hand to clean up the court before allowing Huang Taiji to come to the capital, even if Huang Taiji was wise and powerful, he would not have been able to reach the foot of the capital before the Ming Dynasty was completely ruined.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen was also self-reliant. If he hadn't allowed Huang Taiji to go to the capital, I'm afraid Huang Taiji would have just thought about being enfeoffed like Altan Khan and opening a trade with each other.

Since he had thought about it, he could not help but use the Han official.

After all, there are very few dog slaves like Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan. In terms of loyalty, Huang Taiji believes that Jiannu is not inferior to these two people, but in terms of wisdom, even Huang Taiji can only laugh it off.

As for the importance of using the Han army, this is actually the case with Lao Nu Nurhaci.

In the "Khan Yu" on the third day of the 10th month of the fifth year of the Tianqi Dynasty, Lao Nunurhaci ordered all the "villains" who had not been killed to "build a city and receive a fu" to be compiled into Khan, Beile's Tokso, each thirteen dynasty, seven oxen, and a hundred thirteen dynasty, and eighty dynasty to "eat themselves" and twenty thirteen dynasty to write "official dynasty".

After the Ding Lizhuang was organized, the generals were below the commander and above, and "each prepared for the imperial guards was given one for each pre-register."

In this way, the Han people who had originally "Ji Ding received land" lost their status as "people's households" and became "Zhuang Ding" who was slave-based serfs. They were forced to pay the tuition that was several times more than that of the "Ji Ding granted land" in the Ding. The personal slavery was aggravated and the exploitation became even more powerful.

Some people may be curious, why do they need to reuse the Han army in this way?

It's actually very simple, corrupt.

My ancestors have never been rich, unlike the Han area in the Central Plains. My ancestors have been rich for thousands of years. When they become the boss of the world, they become like a pauper who suddenly wins five million yuan. They have too much money and are burned.

The Eight Banners, who had raised their troops with thirteen pairs of armor and seven hatreds, suddenly had their own slaves. He was really slutty and didn't know what his surname was.

Don’t think that the two-slinger soldier who was a child in the prodigal girl was like this. They were inherited from the bottom of their bones!

Therefore, a rare smart guy among Jiannu, after Huang Taiji ascended the throne of Khan, he curbed Jiannu's master's illness, while pretending to give preferential treatment to the Han people and using the Han army with a heavy heart. He can be used as cannon fodder and does not feel sorry for such a slave. Such a slave must have two more bones.

Due to many reasons, Huang Taiji is better than Lao Nu and attaches more importance to the Han people. Why does Manchu and Han family have a family? In fact, that's the case!

After the fairly novice Emperor Chongzhen understood the above matters clearly, he took a breath and said in surprise: "The Han people in Liaodong!"

Cui Chengxiu bowed and said, "Yes, what I have just said is the Han people in Liaodong."

At this time, Wen Tiren had already realized what Cui Chengxiu meant, probably referring to what Huang Taiji had done in Liaodong.

Wen Tiren is not a good person himself. If he talks about conspiracy and shamelessness, Wen Tiren is really not as good as Emperor Chongzhen. Even if he is a core member of the eunuch party, Cui Chengxiu, is much worse than that of Emperor Chongzhen.

But as long as you are shameless, there will always be bad water. Wen Tiren asked immediately: "Is there any evidence for what Lord Cui said? After all, Huang Taiji also wants to cherish his feathers, but I am afraid that he will not be able to do such a thing.

If there is evidence, I will be happy now."

Cui Chengxiu shook her head and said, "There is no evidence. The lower officials are just guessing based on Jiannu's temperament."

Emperor Chongzhen said shamelessly: "Evidence? There is evidence!"

Wen Tiren was excited and immediately thought that this was Emperor Chongzhen's shameless statement, so he said a little disgusted: "What Your Majesty said is nothing more than sending rumors in detail. But the people of Liaodong are willing to believe it?"

Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "What can you believe it or not? Have you never heard of the words of Wen Aiqing who melts gold and destroys bones?"

Shi Fenglai also said, "Your Majesty is wise. The Han people in Liaodong were almost killed by that old slave, but there are quite a few. No matter how many people believe it, as long as they spread it, the three of them will become a tiger. Then, there will be no fear that they will not be in chaos when the time comes."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "That's right, that's right. As long as there is too much dirty water, even if he wants to wash it, he won't be able to wash it. He is not afraid that he will not be in chaos in Liaodong."

Wen Tiren still opposed it: "I think it is still not possible to report to Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen said curiously: "What's wrong?"

Wen Tiren pondered: "The Han people in Liaodong are also considered to be the people of our Ming Dynasty. Now they are trapped in the hands of Jiannu, and they are already in dire straits.

If my Ming sect spread such rumors in detail, then Huang Taiji would be so angry that even if there was no massacre, it would become a real massacre."

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned when he heard this.

I just thought about how to pour dirty water on Huang Taiji, but I didn't expect this link. If I really sent people to spread rumors, I'm afraid these people will not be able to fall behind.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was quite Greater Chinese, was a little confused for a moment.

If these were Koreans or Japanese slaves, even if they died, they would all die. Emperor Chongzhen could only be happy and could not hesitate.

But now it is the Han people involved in Liaodong, and other ethnic minorities. As long as they are not Jiannu in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen will treat him as his own people.
