Qi Jin understood what Mao Wenlong meant as soon as he heard it.
What he meant was that this place was under his control and everyone was on his side.
Now you have received the holy order to migrate the people here. If you fail to migrate successfully, you are disobeying the decree and will be held accountable.
What Mao Wenlong has to do is to mobilize the people who are on his side to oppose the migration.
If he dares to force it, it will play into his own hands, and he will submit the impeachment memorial as quickly as possible.
"I won't bother the general. The general's first task should be to train his troops well, consolidate the defense line between Zhenjiang and the Yalu River, and make early defense preparations."
The emperor sent a supervisory army to supervise, and it was Qi Jin, a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time. This put Mao Wenlong under a lot of constraints.
In Hetuala, not far from Zhenjiang, life is also not easy for the old slaves.
The failure of several wars caused heavy losses to Jianzhou's population. Although he went to the savage tribes in the north and plundered many strong men, he was still short of resources.
The most fatal thing is that his country's national resources have been exhausted.
Not to mention ordinary people, the Eight Banners he was proud of could only eat two meals a day, and they were still not full.
The encirclement of the Ming army completely blocked him in Jianzhou. Jianzhou was already short of food and clothing, and had no external supply of resources.
Just maintaining normal operation is already very difficult, and he is almost running out of room to survive.
Just when he was about to despair, he contacted Mao Wenlong.
Although he hated Mao Wenlong so much that he gritted his teeth, he still understood the importance.
The most important thing at the moment is how to let his people in Daijin survive this cold winter and reduce the loss of the population.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to start business dealings with Mao Wenlong.
He used animal skins and minks that were scarce in the Ming Dynasty, as well as some precious medicinal materials and special products, to purchase food supplies from Mao Wenlong at high prices.
This allowed him to breathe a little easier without breaking down.
However, the peace negotiation with the Ming Dynasty did not have the effect of delaying the war as he expected.
He had just met the envoy of the Ming Dynasty a few days ago, and he was really angry.
According to the envoy, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty also wanted to stop the war and negotiate peace, which would only benefit the people on both sides.
But the premise of the peace agreement is that Lao Nu must first remove the name of the Dajin Kingdom he established.
Then all the people from the various tribes of the former Haixi Jurchen tribes will be released. No matter where they are, as long as they are still alive, they will be released.
Then all the territories of the Haixi Jurchen tribes were returned, and his sphere of influence was reduced to the original Jianzhou territory, and he was not allowed to leave the territory.
They also had to submit a letter of surrender to the Ming Dynasty, hand it to Xiong Tingbi in person, and then kneel on the ground and shout "Long live the Ming Dynasty" in front of the armies of both sides.
Zhu Youxiao knew very well the ambition and character of Nuerhachi, and it was impossible for him to accept such a humiliating way.
And his prediction was absolutely correct. After hearing this, Nuerhachi was only angry. Such a humiliating way is also called peace negotiation?
What is the difference between this and surrender?
The old slave immediately took a knife and hacked the Ming envoy who came to negotiate to death in the lobby to vent his anger.
"How dare you humiliate me like this, a young child with a dirty mouth? I must make him pay the price."
Nuerhachi was so angry that the high-ranking generals of Jianzhou and Han slaves such as Li Yongfang who were present did not dare to express their anger.
Fan Wencheng, who had previously offered a peace plan, was now trembling.
He was really afraid of being used as a punching bag by the old slave. Fortunately, the Great Khan hadn't noticed him yet. Xing Fan Wencheng secretly thought that his life was not in danger.
But how could Mang Gurtai, who has always been at odds with Huang Taiji, let go of such an opportunity?
Fan Wencheng and Huang Taiji have always been very close, and they are obviously his people. How could Mang Gurtai, a rival successor, keep him?
Therefore, he directly asked Nuer Hachi to order the execution of Fan Wencheng, a Han slave.
Although Nuerhachi has a bad temper, he is not a fool. He still has some brains in this regard.
Although he didn't like Han people either, Fan Wencheng did have some abilities. At least he was a scholar and had not been a scholar.
As for Jianzhou, there is currently a shortage of such scholars. He knows the truth very well that if he wants to be big and strong, he must have scholars.
"Okay, this is the end of the so-called peace talks. The Ming Dynasty has no intention of negotiating peace with me, Dajin. It just takes this opportunity to humiliate Ben Khan."
"Besides, this Khan has already killed this messenger, so even if we want to negotiate peace, it is impossible."
"We and Ming Dynasty are already fighting to the death. Please tell us what we should do next."
Nuerhachi only felt a big head at this time.
Since the little emperor ascended the throne, the situation has reversed in an instant. His invincible Eight Banners warriors have repeatedly encountered obstacles under Xiong Tingbi.
All this happened so fast that he didn't even realize why it was happening.
"Father Khan, the current plan is to accumulate our strength, and when everything is ready, we will launch a surprise attack to defeat the encirclement of the Ming army."
Although Huang Taiji did not want to be in the limelight, the situation forced him to stand up. Otherwise, if this continues, Dajin will sooner or later be destroyed by the Ming Dynasty.
When Nuerhachi saw his most intelligent son speaking, he was also very interested and raised his hand to signal him to continue.
"First of all, we should see the current situation clearly."
"The Ming Dynasty has adopted policies such as resource blockade and clearing out the country. The purpose is to trap us in this land with barren land and lack of resources."
"We can no longer plunder the population resources we need anytime and anywhere like we did in the past, and our development is greatly restricted."
"My slave believes that the most urgent task is to re-count the population and resources of our country, Dajin."
"Spring plowing is about to begin, and everyone should be allowed to participate in spring plowing."
"But this cultivated area must be centered on Hetuala, and the outer areas should be abandoned directly."
"We cannot let our remaining resources be exposed to the threat of the Ming army."
"If there isn't enough land, we have to open up wasteland."
"In addition to the need to station troops at Sarhu Pass and several military fortresses in the south, all the young and strong laborers in the Eight Banners must also participate in planting more crops and striving to harvest more food in the autumn."
"After all, food is the most critical thing right now. Without food, no matter how brave my warriors are, they will be of no use."
Huang Taiji's meaning is also very obvious, that is, he is admonishing Nuer Hachi that he should rest and recuperate at this time and not waste himself in war again.
It's just that Nuerhachi's anger hasn't dissipated yet, so he doesn't dare to say it openly.
