There was only a small amount of arable land in front of Huang Taiji and others. The bean seedlings grew sparsely under the moonlight. Of course, the harvest this year is still not good, and the weather is still quite desperate. However, compared with the extinct disasters in previous years, the annual growth this year is already acceptable.

At least it is not the kind of despair that even the seeds and grains cannot be harvested. The Later Jin Dynasty oppressed all the officials and villages very severely, especially for ordinary bannermen and Han people. They had to hand over more than half of the harvest, and it was difficult for the rest to fill the stomach. Not only did the Han people go hungry, but those bannermen's families lacked strong labor or white armor and vests, they also lived on the poverty line.

Lao Khan allowed the family of flag-teachers to receive food in the worst years, and did not really care about the hardships of these flag-teachers and their families. In fact, the lowest-level flag-teachers did not have much war bonus. At most, some free land, some clothing, some living utensils, and one or two distributed coats.

They also have to work to meet the share of various materials handed over by the public. Under the rule of the Later Jin Dynasty, even wild fruits and river fish are all property of the state. They must be counted and handed over. Ordinary families of flag-managers are struggling on the line of food and clothing. They can barely eat enough in better years, and they will also be hungry when they are worse. They also have to participate in various battle formation training in daily life, practice their martial arts diligently, including riding and shooting skills, and also maintain their armor and weapons. When the weapons and armor are not shining, they will be punished or even beheaded.

In the Nurhaci era, each flag had two or three or three, and even raised the flag to fight. By the time of Huang Taiji, Han officials and Han army generals collectively complained to Huang Taiji that they had too much exploitation from the Han people. Huang Taiji said that Zhu Shen had to farm and pay for food, and they also had to bear the ratio of two or three or three or three to fight to fight. At the same time, the Han people only had five or five or one.

There was only a small amount of farmland around Guanzhuang, and the occasional barking of dogs made it even more desolate. The team of hundreds of people gradually gathered. After getting on the avenue, everyone ran northwest. This was a place where several official roads crossed, from the avenue to Liaoyang to Shenyang, as well as the roads to Xianningying and Fuguanshun, and to Tangchi. These roads crossed. Due to the disrepair, there were many bumpy areas and the ground was not flat. Fortunately, the Later Jin also lacked heavy carriages and did not have very high requirements for the road.

At midnight, they arrived nearly half of the distance. When they saw a small river passing by, Huang Taiji ordered the entire army to rest and drink water for the war horses.

Not far away, there was a large abandoned building community. Huang Taiji took a look and recognized that this was the station left by Liao Town of the Ming Dynasty. It was once a very large building community. It should be the famous Tiger Skin Post, which is the most important place between Shenyang and Liaoyang. During the battle to conquer Shenyang and Liaoyang, a large number of Ming troops were stationed here, and a war broke out. Now it is dilapidated and deserted, with houses collapsed. The Later Jin side had neither the mental power nor the financial resources nor the material resources to repair these stations left by the Ming Dynasty. Day after day, year after year, wind and snow eventually invaded and gradually collapsed and abandoned.

Only the road is still there, there are large ruins left by the once glorious architectural community, as well as the wild grass growing freely in it and the foxes and rabbits passing through it.

The sound of horse hooves came from afar, and a group of white armor immediately became alert and surrounded Huang Taiji and others.

Huang Taiji shook his head gently, indicating that everyone should not be nervous. He has also been through the battle formation for a long time, and he could only hear that he could only ride a single horse. In terms of direction, it should be the steed horse coming from the Sancha River.

The core ruling area of ​​the Later Jin Dynasty was actually very effective. The ruling area was very small.

It was like there was only one Niulu in Yaozhou, and you can imagine how big the land was. Only one Niulu was responsible for the garrison from Yaozhou to the riverside. Although he had defended the raids of thousands of Ming troops, it could be seen that the area where the Jurchens had to defend was too large, and the defense on the periphery was really empty.

Crossing the Liuhe River is the area of ​​the Ming army, which is only separated from western Liaoning and Guangning. In southern Liaoning, it is often harassed by the Dongjiang River. Coupled with the emptiness of the place after the massacre, it is equivalent to an abandoned land.

Only Liaodong and Liaozhong are core areas, and even so, they will inevitably be harassed and destroyed. The Jurchens' national strength is really pitiful. No wonder that although the Ming army has been defeated so far, the Jurchens can only go to western Liaoning, and their national strength cannot stand a war of tens of thousands of people in more than half a year.

In the desolation, the sound of galloping on the post road seemed quite strange and suddenly. Most people stopped their hands and waited for the arrival of the pond horse.

Manguertai also looked at the distance with a strange expression and said, "Can the Ming army in western Liaoning cross the river and harass it?"

Huang Taiji said: "It's impossible. It was reported a month ago that the Ming army in western Liaoning had just restored the areas of Jinzhou and Qiantun, rebuilt cities and farmlands, and began to train troops. They wanted to cross the river, but they would never have the ability, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would not allow it."

"That's true." Manguertai said: "They are not Mao Wenlong. Although Wenlong is average in combat, he is quite independent and has the courage to make progress. The gang in western Liaoning is just a group of pigs."

Huang Taiji nodded slightly and agreed.

People often discuss the differences between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty. The biggest difference is the ability and ethics of the generals. Except for a few of them, the generals of the Southern Song Dynasty were all comprehensive talents of Yunwen and Wu. Yue Fei was not only able to write lyrics, but also Feibai memorials were also quite brilliant, precise and literary. These Song generals knew what they could do and how much achievements they could build. Their vision and ability were far greater than their descendants hundreds of years later. Even in the late Southern Song Dynasty, they fought for decades and really couldn't beat them before they chose to surrender.

The situation in the late Ming Dynasty was completely different. A group of illiterate and unaware of history did not know how big a career they could do, and they did not have to be dogs for alien races, and ended up with a failure.

This is also the reason why Zhang Han would rather help Dongjiang to help Mao Wenlong than deal with Liaoxi. The generals in Liaoxi were just a group of pigs. They did not say that they were loyal and righteous to serve the country, and even had no idea even if they were managing their own business. Unlike Mao Wenlong, they gathered wealth and gathered fugitives to select soldiers, and even later met Huang Taiji. This is all fact. There is nothing to defend Mao Wenlong, but Zhang Han thought it was good, and this is a character. In the late Ming Dynasty, the generals Long were worthy of being a study student, and knew what he could do and what he should do.

My husband is in a chaotic world and the building is about to collapse. Why can’t I plan for myself and future generations?

If Mao Wenlong always had hundreds of thousands of people and could solve the problem of military wages and supplies, his plan was to sweep Denglai. In this case, what's wrong with being independent in the chaotic times of the late Ming Dynasty?

In fact, if Dongjiang Town can handle it, wouldn’t Kong Youde sweep over Denglai? If Mao Wenlong is there, he will gather the strength of the entire Dongjiang Town, even if the imperial court dispatches troops? And if he really joins hands with the Jurchens, Mao Wenlong is quite relaxed to establish a vassal. Who said that this hero cannot win in chaos and find the opportunity to win the world?

A general in the end of the world had no idea. He only wanted to be a dog, so he could only treat him as a pig or a dog.

Tangma arrived in an instant. Seeing a large group of cavalry under the moonlight, Tangma hesitated and recognized that it was two big belles waiting on the roadside with people. He did not dare to be negligent, so he rushed to Manguertai and Huang Taiji quickly.

"I'm so proud of the three beiles and four beiles." Tang Ma was speaking the Jianzhou Jurchens with a very positive accent. Judging from his outfit, he was a powerful man.

"You are Chao Hal." Huang Taiji smiled on his face and said in a gentle tone: "I remember you. When your father was the general of the left wing, I went to him to discuss things. You only learned to walk at that time."

The Zhuangda didn't expect that the four Beile still remembered himself. He was very moved and kowtowed, "Master still remembers the slave, and the slave is very grateful."

"Your father has made great contributions to the country, and I should certainly remember his son." Huang Taiji's good reputation in his family was not in vain. He has a very good understanding of the situation of each family and has a very good memory. People have met and spoken with him, and Huang Taiji can remember it in a short time, and mentioned the previous words, which touched these people under him very much.

Chao Hal, who spoke, was a man from the Yellow Banner. In fact, he had no entanglement with Huang Taiji, but Huang Taiji spoke so gently and comforted him, which moved him quite a bit, and his face was involuntarily revealed.

Only then did Manguertai realize that Chao Har was the son of Eyidu, and Eyidu has the highest status among the five founding ministers. Xiang He Heli was the third-class general when he died, and Eyidu was the first-class general of the left wing. After his death, he was extremely sad about his death, showing his rare true feelings.

Well, Yidu is also a powerful general who has made great achievements under Fei Yingdong. It is not surprising that he is loved and valued by Nuerhaci.

He has many sons and several very outstanding ones. The Super Hart in front of him is now just a powerful figure, but he will soon have his own World Management Niulu and a considerable potential strength in the future. Huang Taiji did not deliberately win over it. After all, it is impossible to really take it under his command without a banner, but a few words can make people respect and be close to him.

Mangourtai didn't have such exquisite thoughts and felt quite impatient. He said to Chaohal: "Hurry up and tell me what news to send?"

"There is great news." Although it was delayed by only one or two sentences, Chao Haer felt that it was not right. He immediately replied: "According to the latest returns in western Liaoning, Zhang Han's Hutchison Merchants Army had already wiped out the Chahar tribe from June to July."

"What?"

Huang Taiji and Manguertai both had their bodies stiffened, and their eyes showed incredible expressions.

The performances of the senior Jurchen executives present were almost the same, and everyone was shocked.

Meleezhen Han Dai couldn't help but shout: "Super Har, are you talking about it true?"

This man was one of the leaders of Gebushxian, brave and good at fighting, and had excellent military power. He was one of the many guard leaders favored by Nuerhaci.

Of course, it is Chao Haer's brother. Chao Haer lowered his head and said, "Fourth brother, this is the news sent from western Liaoning, and it has been confirmed repeatedly."

This time it was a dead silence. Everyone understood how great the meaning of this news was and how many unacceptable things it represented.
