The horns whine and the whips sound.

The Grand Yamen of the Great Golden Khan Palace has never been as lively as it is today. It was called "Da Yamen" by the Manchus and was later renamed the Dazheng Palace.

The square surrounded by the royal court and two other pavilions located behind the Yamen (called the left and right wing pavilions) was already crowded with the six ministries and nine ministers of the Great Jin Kingdom and the Gushan'e of the sixty-four banners of the Great Jin Kingdom.

True, Melezhangin and Zasak.

Why is it the Sixty-Four Banners? Didn’t they all say that the Eight Banners were powerful? How come it doubled several times in one fell swoop?

This is because the Kingdom of Jin now not only has the Eight Banners of Manchuria, but also the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and the Eight Banners of Korea. The four Eight Banners are of course thirty-two banners!

This is only the flag of the heart of the Great Jin Kingdom. If we also include the Zasak Banner belonging to the Hulunbuir League, Xing'an League, Xilingol League, Zhaowuda League and other four outer Mongolian alliances, now the Great Jin Kingdom's flag

There are as many as sixty-four flags!

These sixty-four banners are respectively subordinate to eight Manchu banner leaders, Beile, and four Mongolian alliance leaders. And these eight banner leaders, four alliance leaders, and the following thirty-two Gushan Ezhen and thirty-two Zhasa

Ke, as well as Zhang Jing at all levels, together formed a large network, including hundreds of thousands of Manchu, Mongolian, Han, Korean and other ethnic groups of soldiers and civilians.

A relatively strict hierarchical system was formed such as "Great Khan - Banner Leader (League Leader) - Ezhen (Zhasak) - Zhang Jing at all levels - Banner Ding - Coated Minions - Minions of Minions".

This hierarchical system is not solidified yet, but can flow upwards - in theory, the slaves of the lowest-ranking slaves can donate food and flags to become a glorious coated slave, and then get the opportunity to be promoted to military merit.

It is impossible to get to the level of Banner Leader Baylor and Rubafen Prince, and it is unlikely that Zasak, the Ezhen of each banner, will be promoted, but Zhang Jing at all levels is still relatively easy to obtain.

In addition to forming a hierarchical system with rising military merit, the Sixty-Four Banners of Dajin have now also formed a grassroots governance system that integrates military and political affairs.

Except for some wild Jurchens or "savages" of other ethnic groups living in the mountains and dense forests who have not yet been found and incorporated into the banners, the entire Dajin territory, including those that were just conquered by Dorgon and Azig,

The northwest area of ​​the Korean Peninsula (Pingan Road) occupied by Duduo is all covered by this "Sixty-Four Banners Network".

The Great Khan Huang Taiji and Zhu Yizhengbeile, who were at the top of the Sixty-Four Banners, could use this large network to fully squeeze out the national power of Hou Jin and devote it to the war against the Ming Empire.

In contrast, perhaps Zhu Youjian, who rules 200 million people (no one knows the more accurate number), now has no way to squeeze out all the national power of the Ming Dynasty for the war to destroy Hou Jin. Otherwise,

, the Kingdom of Jin was crushed by the Ming army long ago.

Now Zhu Youjian is not only unable to squeeze out all the national power to deal with Hou Jin, but because of the endless disaster years, he has become a begging emperor. Solving the food problem of the people in the northern disaster area is his top priority - the Ming Dynasty

However, there was no high-pressure and efficient grassroots governance system like the Later Jin Kingdom, so once a large-scale famine occurred, a major uprising would follow.

At that time, Zhu Youjian will be like in his previous life, facing the vast sea and vicious cycle of peasant uprisings - when the uprising peasants become rogues, they will rush to areas where agricultural production is acceptable, destroy the production there, and threaten the livelihoods that could have been provided.

Our own farmers! And the destructive power of natural disasters will be continuously amplified until the entire country is destroyed.

It is not an easy task to find enough food to feed a population of 200 million during seventeen consecutive years of disaster.

Zhu Youjian's enemy Huang Taiji is much more advantageous when facing disasters... because the coats under the bannermen and the slaves under the coats are both expendable means of production.

When the grain output is not enough, just starve to death some of the talking animals and save the grain for the master. After all, the Dajin Kingdom still has black soil, and the climate is wetter than that of the Central Plains and the northwest. Although due to various reasons,

There will also be a large reduction in grain production, but crop failure is not easy to occur.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Jin can always survive the disaster years by sacrificing some of the old, weak, and slaves!

What should we do if the productive population is insufficient?

Just go grab some more!

In the sixth year of Tiancong, which is about to pass, the Kingdom of Jin not only got a rare good year, but also snatched a large number of people from North Korea - the North Korean population brought back by the Dorgon brothers alone was 200,000 to 300,000!

In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of Korean people (slaves) living in Ping'an Road, North Korea, which was ruled by Hou Jin, and they can also be used as the means of production for the Jin Kingdom.

With these funds, Huang Taiji, a sweaty man, finally became stronger.

"The Great Khan is here!"

Following the voice of an eunuch servant serving the Hou Jin Khan Palace, the Ding lords of the Sixty-Four Banners of Dajin and the officials of the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers standing in the courtyard all shouted long live. Then they heard

The sound of footsteps and Huang Taiji's voice, unable to hide his smile: "Pingshen, Pingshen!"

Everyone got up and took a peek, and saw that Huang Taiji had led Daishan, Amin, Mang Gurtai and other three big beile to the pedestal under the eaves of the porch of the Yamen.

There are four chairs on the pedestal of the Yamen. One of them is covered with tiger skin and is Huang Taiji's throne. The other three are placed on the left and right. The one on the left is Daishan's chair, and the two on the right are Amin and Mang Gurtai's.

.

Huang Taiji sat down on the tiger skin chair first, followed by Daishan, Amin, and Mang Gurtai.

Now the situation in the government of the Jin Kingdom is not in bad shape. However, Mang Gurtai broke his head and went to the Mongolian doctor for treatment all day long. Daishan was angered by the two filial sons in the family and had no interest in government affairs.

. And Amin was stationed in Jinzhou for a long time and rarely came back. Therefore, Huang Taiji's authority became increasingly important. When he went to court on weekdays, he was a one-man show.

But today, the four Baylors are gathered together... Needless to say, something big is definitely going to happen.

Seeing that everyone had already stood in their respective positions, Huang Taiji said with a smile: "The banner masters of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and the Eight Banners of Korea (only the Eight Banners of Manchuria have banner masters), the leader of the alliance, eh

Really, Zasak and other officials finally gathered together, and I just took this opportunity to announce two major events.

One is that we won a complete victory in the Second Conquest of the Dynasty and returned victorious! In this battle, we not only captured the Ping An Road in North Korea, but also captured Phi Island, which had disturbed us for several years, and brought back nearly

With a population of 300,000...this is really a great victory and really gratifying!”

This is the first time Huang Taiji has achieved such a great victory since he became the Great Khan. It is indeed not easy!

Huang Taiji's face began to darken as he spoke: "The second thing I want to talk about today is to send troops to the west to conquer the Southern Dynasties and Monan Mongolia!"

It’s time to fight tomorrow again!

The leaders of the Sixty-fourth Banner, who should have been delighted to hear the battle, all lost their faces.

Huang Taiji's eyes swept across the courtyard and caught everyone's attention.

These people were all a little scared! Huang Taiji sighed.

It seems that the Great Jin Kingdom is slipping on the road to the Xixia Kingdom... The Ming Dynasty controls Yanshan and stabilizes the front. It will be difficult for the Great Jin Kingdom to cut off the flesh of the Ming Dynasty to replenish its own blood.

.Although North Korea is also a piece of meat, it is too small and not enough to eat!

When Korea finishes eating, what will happen to the Kingdom of Jin?

Without the blood and flesh of Ming Dynasty to supplement it, this sharp hole cannot be maintained.

Once Daikin gave up "one hole" and began to encourage farming, its military advantage would be gone.

Without military superiority, could the Kingdom of Jin still be able to farm with peace of mind?

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji took a deep breath and said loudly: "Now our country has strong soldiers and strong horses, and sufficient food. However, in the Southern Dynasties, there have been years of famine, and the soldiers and people lack food... Our strong enemy has become weak, so it is time to send out troops to attack, and in one fell swoop
Chapter completed!
