Chapter 15 Northbound

Heaven and earth give birth to two poles, two poles give birth to four images, and four images give birth to eight trigrams.

How did the Four Banners become the Eight Banners? Wei Sheren was a great explanation for the Great Beile when he was a great boy, and it was also the last gift Wei Sheren gave to Great Beile before leaving.

Under Wei Sheren's extremely reasonable suggestion, Da Beile spent a lot of careful study of the specific organization of the Eight Banners, so he said it was very clear, and he was so happy that his father's khan could hear it.

Ama was happy, Ying was also happy, because this shows that his talent was valued by Ama. The other brothers were also happy, but there were also many unhappy ones.

Manguertai curled his lips and said nothing. Eyedu, He Heli and the others did not care whether the Eight Banners Technique was good or bad, they only knew that it was proposed by Ying, so it would definitely be unfavorable to them. What was the disadvantage? They didn't expect it for a moment.

As the younger brother of a mother, outsiders can't see if Daishan has any other ideas?

"The color of the flag remains unchanged, and there is still a difference. Well, it is very good. In the future, it will be called inlaid yellow, inlaid white, inlaid red, and inlaid blue. The original four flags are still called inlaid yellow, inlaid white, inlaid red, and inlaid blue. However, the military flag is not a temporary one. We need to consider it carefully when we look back."

The more Nurhaci looked at Ying, the more he liked her. Now his son is becoming more and more mature and more steady, and he is no longer as he used to be.

Ying Nai was his most proud student. Seeing that his proposal was valued by King Khan, Gong Zhengliu wanted to add icing on the cake and smiled and said, "King Khan, the eight are the most auspicious numbers in the hexagrams, and it is also the basis for the derivation of the sixty-four hexagrams. The Eight Banners are really a good sign!"

The princes in the hall, regardless of whether they were willing or not, were happy to see the Khan, and they all followed the benefits of expanding the Eight Banners.

Nurhaci thought for a while and suddenly asked Gong Zheng six times: "If these Eight Banners are established, who do you think can be divided?"

This question was raised at the same time.

Gong Zhengliu was stunned. He saw Nurhaci asking such a serious matter and was inexplicably grateful, but he felt that the matter was of great importance and was not easy to tell it out, so he tentatively said: "I thought it would be better for the Eight Banners to be the princes."

When the Four Banners were first, the White Banner of the British leader was first, the Red Banner of the Dai Shan leader was the Red Banner, the Mangguertai led the Yellow Banner, and the Blue Banner of the Amin. Later, the British acted as the National Government, and the White Banner was handed over to the Eighth Prince Hong Tai. Unfortunately, the Eighth Prince died in a miserable life under the sword of the Ming people, so the White Banner was returned to the Ying District. Among the four Banners, the White Banner was the strongest and the Niulu was the most because the Jurchens respected white.

Now that the four banners have been expanded into the Eight Banners, four more banner masters must come out. The banner master is what Ying said just now. He is in charge of the household registration, education, official title inheritance, military training, and even more importantly, in wartime, the flag soldiers will go out to fight and truly grasp the military and political power of the banner.

Therefore, the candidate for the banner owners of the four banners is very important. Eyidu, He Heli and others do not want the banner owners to be taken by the son of the Khan, but no one dares to come out to object.

"It's good."

Nurhaci obviously could not let others take over the power of a banner. He looked at his sons and nephews and immediately said: "The white flag is still led by Ying, the red flag is led by Dai Shan, the yellow flag is led by Mangguertai, and the blue flag is left by Amin. There are four remaining flags, the white flag is led by Abai, the yellow flag is led by Tang ancient times, the red flag is led by Abatai... The blue flag is led by…"

What surprised Gong Zhengliu was that King Khan actually handed over the blue flag to his fourth brother Yarhazi. This arrangement also disappointed the sixth prince Tabai, the ninth prince Babutai, the tenth prince Degele, and the eleventh prince Babuhai. Degele and Babuhai were just depressed. The sixth prince Tabai could afford the banner owner in both age and qualifications. His younger brother Abatai could take the flag, but he could not, so he was extremely disappointed in his heart.

"Do you have any objections to the real candidate for the Eight Banners Gushane?" Nurhaci looked at He Heli and the others.

What can He Heli and the others say? They have no objections to themselves, and they follow the orders of King Khan.

"In the future, government affairs will be managed by the British, but the major policies will still be discussed by everyone. The troops will be led by the lords of each banner, each with their own duties, regardless of their importance. If you have any decisions, please ask me if you have any questions."

After saying that, Nurhaci added: "After the Eight Banners are established, they must also select brave soldiers from each banner to be Ben Khan's Wai Yala, guarding the central guard, and each banner also needs to choose long-armored soldiers, short-armored soldiers and red-armored Yala... We want to attack Yehe, the court will definitely not stop, and then they may send troops to fight. Therefore, the long-armored soldiers of each banner must be wearing heavy armor and charge forward with spears; the short-armored soldiers are wearing light armor, and then the bow and arrow..."

Everyone was not thinking it was wrong when they heard it. The Khan should choose sharp soldiers as guards. It is also an urgent task to build the Eight Banners heavy armor and light armored soldiers.

Nurhaci was talking and came to report outside, saying that he had received a post letter from Fushun. Everyone was curious and didn't know who wrote a letter to the Khan.

Nurhaci was also surprised and asked Gong Zhengliu to take the letter and tear it apart. Gong Zhengliu was a little stunned when he saw it.

"Whose letter, what did you say?" Nurhaci asked.

"King Khan can see it yourself." Gong Zhengliu handed over the letter.

Nurhaci learned Chinese characters when he was young, and later learned a lot of books from Gong Zhengliu, so he could read the letter. After reading it, he laughed, then threw the letter to Gong Zhengliu, and snorted: "Don't worry about him, a crazy person."

"Yes, King Khan."

Gong Zhengliu also thought that the person who wrote the letter was crazy, so he even opened his mouth to borrow 300,000 taels of silver from the Khan, saying that it was a big investment in maritime affairs, and that it would be doubled after maritime affairs gained benefits. This is really a big joke.

"King Khan, did you reply?" Gong Zhengliu asked habitually.

Nurhaci originally wanted to say no to reply, but after thinking about it, he ordered: "You can reply, just say that Ben Khan is very poor now, so he asked him to borrow from other people."

After saying that, he thought about it and waved his hand: "Send him a thousand taels."

………

Lushun, after finally waiting for the old man with black face to reply, Eunuch Wei was so excited that he wanted to tear it apart, but his stomach hurt so much that he really couldn't believe it at this time, so he hurriedly ran to the toilet, untied his pants and sat on the Gongbao, and then slowly tore open the envelope after his body and mind were relieved. As a result, the content of the letter made him stand up angrily on the spot and cursed: "Okay, Nurhaci, we sincerely lend you money, you shouldn't lend it to us! Old turtle bastard, unkind!"

After scolding, I thought of something I hadn't done, and my face turned green again, and I sat down again in panic. After packing up, I yelled outside with a swell of briskness, "Prepare a boat, prepare a boat!"

When the navy general Wang Dali heard that Eunuch Wei was calling, he rushed over. When he heard that his father-in-law was going to prepare a boat, he asked, "Does my father-in-law want to set off to go south?"

But Eunuch Wei shook his head: "If you don't go south, go north."

Go north?

Wang Dali was stunned. Where are you going north?

"Go to Yizhou."

Eunuch Wei was so angry that it was absolutely unforgivable that Nurhaci would not lend him money. So he decided to do some by himself, and crossed the Yalu River and robbed money, grain and people at his black-faced old man's territory.
