Chapter Fourteen Eight Banners
Make bad?
Nurhaci was stunned. Gong Zhengliu had been inquiring about information for him in the past two years, and he could tell what he had found out after hearing his words.
"Who is doing bad things for our Jianzhou? What did you hear about?" Ying asked.
Gong Zhengliu nodded his own student and then said to Nurhaci: "King, I have a bribe in the Liaodong Governor's Office and reported that a eunuch in Beijing had secretly revealed to the emperor, saying that we would change customs in Liaodong and change all the Jurchens to Han people, and asked the Jurchens to speak Chinese language, write Chinese characters, learn Chinese customs, and use Chinese names. We were not allowed to pick hair from the Jurchens, learn Chinese hair, learn Chinese clothes, and use Chinese names. We should learn from them. We should not wear their current clothes. We should wear them like Han people. We should also set up Chinese studies in our Jurchens and set up Han halls, so that our Jurchens would learn from their Han people's classics and history, and then take their imperial examinations when they grow up..."
Gong Zhengliu told everything he knew. He was a native of Zhejiang, who lived in Liaodong with his father and was caught by the Jurchens, but he called us Jurchens one by one. It can be seen that he had long regarded himself as a Han Chinese and had sincerely considered the Jurchens.
Babuhai, the eleventh son of Nurhaci, heard what Mr. Gong said, and he didn't realize there was something wrong. Instead, he said happily: "Isn't this a good thing? If we, the Jurchens, can be the same as the Han people, we might be able to be a high-ranking official."
After saying that, he found that the movement in the hall was wrong. His brothers were watching him, and the ministers looked strange. He was so scared that he knew that he had said the wrong thing immediately.
"What do you know?" Nurhaci scolded Babuhai and snorted slightly, "The eunuch wants the emperor to change his territory and return to the current state in our Jianzhou."
"King Khan said it right. This strategy is to change the land and return to the current." Gong Zhengliu affirmed, and then sneered, "If the court adopted this method, it would take only twenty years for the Jurchens to destroy the clan."
"Clan extermination?!"
The princes and ministers heard this and made a noise.
"Ama, shaving hair is a custom of my Jurchens. This braid is the symbol of our Jurchens! Without this braid, we will no longer be Jurchens, but become his Han people!" Dai Shan said angrily.
"What changes customs and customs are obviously to use this measure to destroy me. Ahma, if we, Jurchens, dress like Han people, it will take not to take twenty years, our babies will only know that they are Han people, not Jurchens." Although Manguertai was reckless, he could see the harm of this incident to Jianzhou.
"Changing customs and customs is to break the backbone of our Jurchens. If they really want them to be made, we will become Han people. Without the identity of Jurchens, how will the court care about us and how will it use us to wait."
What Gong Zhengliu did not say was that if he really wanted to change customs and customs in Jianzhou and assimilate the Jurchens into Han people, then the Aisin Jueluo family, who led Jianzhou, would inevitably have the current status and power. First, the court would transfer a large number of officials to rule Jianzhou, and second, he would definitely choose new officials from within Jianzhou. Twenty or thirty years later, Jianzhou would definitely be the same as in the inner palace, and most of the current nobles would be replaced.
"It's really a bad thing for us." Nurhaci groaned, "I'll tell us to grow hair and change our clothes, and I'll kill me!"
"This strategy is extremely vicious, but fortunately the emperor did not adopt it." Gong Zheng Liudao.
Nurhaci nodded, thought of something, and said, "This is a reminder to me. I, Jianzhou, are very crowded, but there are also many Han people. We, the Jurchens, have their hair cuts, but the Han people are not. They have many people and few people, and their clothes are different. In the end, they still regard us as foreign races, and we also regard them as foreign races. This is not possible. They are afraid of us for a while, but over time, there will inevitably be people who will jump out and hostile to us."
"What Ama said is very much." Dai Shan agreed.
"The order from the Khan of the Khan will be passed on to the Han people in Jianzhou tomorrow and force them to change into our Jurchen clothes... In short, the Han people in Jianzhou, including their descendants, must live according to the customs of our Jurchens and forget the lifestyle of their ancestors! ... If they don't want to, we will kill them until they are afraid, lose their backbone and lose their backbone. In this way, we don't have to be afraid that these Han people will rebel, because they are all the same as us."
After proclaiming this order, Nurhaci looked at Gong Zhengliu like an arrow: "Sir, who is telling me this secret exposure to the emperor?"
"It's said it's an eunuch."
The news about Gong Zhengliu was bought from the Governor's Office, but he was not sure about it.
"You all saw that the Ming people wanted to destroy me, Jurchens, and tried their best to do so, but I, Jurchens, could not be swallowed by those vicious schemes!"
Nurhaci was very proud and established for a long time. Finally, he decided to adopt the strategy of Ying and expand the Eight Banners to fight in the future. He sat down and looked around the sons and ministers and said loudly: "Now the area of Jianzhou is several times larger, and the population is increasing, which is difficult to control. Back then, I changed the sword army, the iron hammer army, and the cannon shooting army to be called Huang, Bai, Red and Blue Banners. Each set up a banner owner, with Gushan under Gushan, and Jiala under Niulu. Three hundred people were one Niulu, and one Ezhen was set up. At that time, there were only 20,000 people, and it was not easy to identify the Niulu under the banner. Now that I have taken over Ula, I have more than 60,000 armored soldiers with armor and string control, which is even more difficult."
After hearing Ama's words, Ying couldn't help but feel moved and said: "Ama used to create the Four Banners, and most of them were used to it, so there was no need to change it. The so-called tree was divided into big branches and many people were branches. It might as well expand the Four Banners into Eight Banners, and still use 300 people as one Niulu, and only five Niulu was combined into One Jiala. Five Jiala was called Yigushan. The leader of Gushan could command 7,500 infantry and cavalry, and was called the banner master. Then all Han people were coated and divided into various banners, farmed in peacetime, and followed the wartime expedition. In this way, 60,000 soldiers and horses were just divided into the Eight Banners."
Nurhaci asked Ying with a "hmm" and said, "In your opinion, how do you set up the flags?"
Ying had a long history of constitution, and now said: "Niulu has one subordinate, with two descendants, four Zhangjing, and four squads. One Niulu is divided into four Dadans, each Dadan is controlled by one Zhangjing and Dasquad; Jiala has one governed; Gushan Ezhen, and two Meile Ezhen."
Nurhaci nodded: "What's the name for the new four flags?"
Ying said: "Ama has set up four colors of military flags, yellow, white, red and blue. Each has its own roots and has a profound meaning and cannot be changed lightly. My son thought that only the military flags with the newly added four flags should be lace to show the difference. Each flag uses this to customize armor, and see the style of the armor, you can determine which one belongs."
