428. Seize some of his power, control his money and food, and collect two of his elite soldiers.
Huang Taiji was very happy. This problem had troubled him for a long time and he had no good solution. Because he was the Great Khan, the other three Baylors were wary of him. Once he made any move that was unfavorable to the other three, he would be easily grouped together.
Targeted. Very passive.
"This strategy is good, but it works too slowly. It is estimated that it will take six or seven years to fully take back the power, but it is better than being safe."
Seeing that Huang Taiji still seemed a little dissatisfied, Fan Wencheng continued, "Tui En is to fundamentally solve the problem and can be implemented slowly. But there are still things that can be done at the moment."
Huang Taiji asked in surprise: "Please tell me what other strategies the bachelor has."
"Does the Great Khan know half of the Analects of Confucius and Zhao Pu, the Prime Minister of the early Song Dynasty who ruled the world?"
"I've heard a little bit. I'd like to hear the details."
"At the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the emperor could not stop the separatist rebellions in the feudal towns. After the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, how to prevent the new dynasty from following the old path of the Liang, Tang, Jin, Han and Zhou dynasties and how to take back the power of the Jiedushi became a top priority. Zhao Pu proposed to seize it.
The strategy is to gain power, control their money and food, and recruit their elite soldiers."
Huang Taiji lowered his head and thought for a while, and found that there was really no difference between the current leader of the Eight Banners and the governor of the feudal town.
Under the Eight Banners system, the banner people are slaves subordinate to the flag owner. The flag owner is his master. The Eight Banners system is actually a system of combining military and civilians. When you enter, you will be the people, and when you leave, you will be soldiers. It is similar to the Tang Dynasty's military system, but the Tang Dynasty
Under the Chaofu military system, the Zhechong Prefecture only has the power of management, training, and warning. It does not have the power of commanding or commanding troops.
But the flag owners are different. They even have the power of life and death over their subordinates. Each flag has its own territory and people. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are vassal towns. However, the two yellow flags under the emperor are the strongest.
, Niulu is the most numerous, it’s just that he can suppress them.
"The Great Khan's expansion of the number of ministers is only a slight attempt to seize their power. There are two other strategies available: controlling their money and food and recruiting their best soldiers."
Huang Taiji repeated the two sides, seizing his power and recruiting his elite soldiers. He was thoughtful.
"How does this Khan make his money and food?"
"Currently, the production in Liaodong is not enough to maintain the needs. It is difficult for each banner owner, Baylor, to feed his own people. Now he is just barely able to survive. If Daijin wants to survive, there are only three ways out. One is to reclaim wasteland and cultivate and feed itself.
.The second is to trade with the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia, and Korea. The third is to send troops to plunder."
Huang Taiji was silent for a long time.
The first one is impossible. The Han people in Liaodong were already dead and could not escape during the Nurhaci period. There were more than three million Han people, and only tens of thousands of them were left. They were still slaves in the hands of the Eight Banners nobles, large and small. Think about it.
There is no one farming at all.
If the banner people could cultivate good land, why would they still have such a headache?
Trade is a feasible route. Now there is a large amount of plundered gold and silver in the treasury and in the Eight Banners. The total is no less than 80 million taels. At present, it is just a relationship with Shanxi merchants. After pacifying Duoyan and Tumo,
Before the Special Department, trade routes could not be guaranteed to be open for the time being.
To take this path, we need to get rid of the obstacle Lin Danhan.
The problem has returned to the starting point. We have not yet reached an agreement with the three major Baylors on the issue of Lin Dan Khan.
Then there is only the last option left, which is to send troops to plunder other tribes, Ming Dynasty and North Korea.
Last year Amin went to Korea and plundered it once. This year it would be best to attack Lin Danhan and plunder the herdsmen to herd the Eight Banners.
As for the Ming Dynasty, we can go to fight against it next year. The Ming Dynasty is a fat sheep. Nothing can be done as quickly as robbery. After all, it is a business without capital.
If you want to attack the Ming Dynasty, you must first deal with Lin Dan Khan, otherwise he will be too much of a threat from behind. At least you must cripple him so that he does not dare to stab the main force of the Eight Banners in the back after they enter the pass.
"The Great Khan, it is best to attack the Ming Dynasty after removing the threat of Lin Dan Khan, plunder enough farmers, and then farm in the Liaohe River. The grain will be directly controlled by the Great Khan, and the trade with Shanxi merchants must also be in hand.
Here, power cannot be delegated to the Eight Banners. Once you have money and food, you can pay the soldiers of the Eight Banners. This is the so-called strategy to control their money and food."
"Very good! Dajin has no way out if it continues like this. It cannot survive at all. Ben Khan must persuade the three major Baylors to send troops to attack Lin Dan Khan as soon as possible to prepare for the attack on Ming Dynasty next year."
Fan Wencheng nodded and said: "The third strategy is to recruit elite soldiers. I suggest that the Great Khan establish some independent battalions outside the Eight Banners and select elite soldiers from each Niulu of the Eight Banners. This will strengthen the Khan's strength and weaken it."
The strength of each banner."
"I'm afraid that the transfer of elites will cause dissatisfaction among the various banners." Huang Taiji said worriedly.
"The Great Khan can come like this. Like Mongolia, I, the Great Jin, like sumo wrestling as a show at banquets. It is better to set up a sumo camp with 500 to 1,000 people, and select strong men from each banner to perform wrestling. This way.
It is not used as a military force and can hide its intentions."
Huang Taiji exclaimed, "This is a great plan. The experts in wrestling are all the strongest men. In this name, the elite are recruited, and no one can say anything."
Fan Wencheng continued: "After the sumo camp is established, autumn hunts can be organized every year to form a routine, and then the best cavalry and archers from each flag can be selected to establish a new camp. In this way, the elites from various tribes can be gathered in the Khan's camp little by little.
With your hands in your hands, you can gradually strengthen the weak branches and finally take back the power completely."
Huang Taiji was very satisfied and clapped his hands in praise. For several days, the gloomy mood on his face was gone. He chatted with Fan Wencheng until late that night before letting Fan Wencheng leave the palace and go home.
When Huang Taiji secretly plotted to deal with the three major Baylors, the Haraqin tribe, the largest tribe in Duoyan, was also meeting to discuss the crusade against the scourge on the grassland, Narenbaat'er.
This evil guy is a Chinese spy who has infiltrated into the Mongols. He has an ulterior motive to establish relationships between Mongolian herdsmen, slaves, ethnic minority people who submitted to Mongolia, and the nobles. He actually falsely claims that they are all free people.
, cattle, sheep and property are all theirs, the nobles are dispensable. Without the exploitation of the nobles, they will get better.
Nobles cannot do without the support of the lower classes. But if the lower classes lose their nobility, they will not lose anything except their chains.
Oh my god, these terrible remarks are spreading across the grassland like cattle and horses are infected with the plague.
From the Duoyan Thirty-six tribes in the east and the Tumut tribe in the west, slaves escaped every day and went to Nairenbaat'er.
Now there is a rumor in the grassland, go find Nairen Bat'er, he will give you cattle and sheep, and also give you a wife.
The nobles are going crazy. This is simply digging up ancestral graves. This is destroying Mongolia.
Haraqin was hit by a severe drought last year, and more than 10,000 people died of starvation because Chongzhen stopped trade and silver rewards.
It was only this year that things got better, and here came the legendary Jebelenerbaatar from the Tumote tribe who had been missing for ten years.
When he came, he flipped the table and stopped everyone from eating.
The Taijis in Duoyan are more unjust than Dou E. I murmur in my heart that it was Lin Dan Batur who forced your master's family to death, and those traitors in Tumut. What does it have to do with us Duoyan? You throw out such indiscriminate
A big killer, won’t your conscience hurt?
The owner of Nairenbaat'er was Boshu Ketu Khan (known as Bu Shitu in the Ming Dynasty), the "King of Shunyi" of the Tumote tribe. In July 1627, Lindan Khan of the Chahar tribe marched westward and attacked the right wing, and the Tumote tribe collapsed.
, then fled west to the Hetao. Later, he died there, and the throne of Shunyi was laid to rest. The descendants of Anda Khan were basically extinct.
Now, I heard that Narenbaat'er built the city of Duolun and grew a lot of food. So everyone is red-eyed. In the past two years, the Mongolians have been hungry and going crazy. Food is simply a life-saving elixir.
Today, leaders of the thirty-six Tumut and Duoyan families gathered in the Haraqin camp. They had only one topic today, which was to determine the time to send troops.
