In February of the twelfth year of Hongxing's reign in the Ming Dynasty, Hetuala City.
This ancient capital of the Hou Jin Dynasty is located between the mountains. It is only 300 miles away from Shenyang and less than 200 miles away from Fushun. It can be said that it is close to the most fertile plain in the Northeast, and there are mountain dangers to rely on to attack and retreat. Able to defend. Nurhaci used this place as a stronghold, and then defeated the Fushun plunder. He then retreated and skillfully used his troops in the mountains to achieve a great victory in Sarhu, which established a great situation for the founding of the Later Jin Dynasty.
But now that Nurhachi's descendants have returned to Hetuala, they don't feel at all that the surrounding mountains can protect them, let alone that the great plain east of Fushun Pass is a granary and money bag that they can plunder at will. Up and down, everyone felt that the end was coming, and they were in constant panic.
If they still had the courage they had when Nurhachi rose to prominence, they would not have gone from Shenyang to Hetuala.
As for the east of Fushun Pass, we gave up as soon as spring started. The Ming army was still unable to take action due to the muddy spring in the Northeast, so Doni ran away with the remaining defeated soldiers - how could they dare to wait for the terrifying black spearmen, foreign horse soldiers, and young soldiers to attack?
When someone calls, they die!
But it doesn’t look safe to return to Hetuala!
When the Ming army establishes a foothold in Shenyang and Fushun, they will definitely attack here... Will they be able to defeat Sarhu by then?
That’s a no-brainer!
Therefore, during the time when Doni retreated to Hetuala, besides being frightened, he was busy and continued to retreat - he had to retreat to Jianzhou and Heilongjiang to feel a little more at ease.
But it’s not easy to withdraw!
Don't look at it. Starting from the late reign of Duduo, the development of the plains around Xingkai Lake has become Manchuria's top priority. But where is it so easy to develop a piece of raw land? How could it develop in just two or three years and with not much labor available?
So in the eleventh year of Hongxing's reign, the foundation that supported Doni, the separatist force outside the customs, was still the Liaohe Plain!
There are tens of millions of acres of fertile land there, enough to support 70,000 to 80,000 households of farmers and soldiers who farm and fight. It can also make the upper class Lao Manchu and the aristocratic group around Donny live a good life - ginseng, dongzhu, fur It's just a matter of earning some pocket money. If you really want to make a living, you have to rely on the land in the Liaohe River Basin.
Now that the land is gone, for the entire Manchuria Group, the income of millions of stones of flour is lost a year, so the hard days are still to come!
And without this income, it is impossible to replenish blood by looting the Ming Dynasty, and the Manchuria Group has lost the possibility of maintaining a large army to fight against the Ming Dynasty.
Besides, after more than ten years of brutal war and ethnic integration, there are now only more than 10,000 old Manchu warriors gathered under Doni's command. Not to mention compared with the Han people, even with the Sauron and Barhu people in the Heilongjiang River Basin. In comparison, it doesn't have any advantage.
So the entire Hetuala is now in a state of panic!
At the south gate of the outer city of Hetuala, a group of elderly monks have been standing in the past few days - most of these people are lonely old people who lost all their children in the long war. They are old and helpless, so they have to shave their heads and become a monk. It is common for great monks to eat with their mouths. Now they were all looking northward, and suddenly one of them shouted: "The master is back!"
A shout attracted the surrounding monks and idle soldiers to rush forward. Sure enough, they saw a group of carriages and horses winding up outside the north gate. The banner of General Monk has been raised, and a group of Korean soldiers are carefully escorting him from the front and back.
It turns out that a few days ago, news came to Hetuala that the North Korean envoy General General General Monk was about to return. This time it gave everyone a little hope. The great monk went to beg for mercy. He had been gone for several months and now he is finally back. There must be good news!
More and more people gathered at the gate of the city. Not only Azig's monks, but also a group of run-down Manchu nobles also came out to hear an explanation.
Seeing the convoy and horsemen gradually approaching, several Manchu nobles had already shouted: "Master Twelve, how was the conversation?"
Monk Azige rode a big white horse and came out from behind. He held his hands to the crowd with a smile on his face and said, "Fortunately, the imperial court has issued an imperial edict to confer Xuanye as the military envoy of Heilongjiang! "
"Xuan Ye?"
"who is he?"
Azig smiled: "He is Marquis Yanen, the son of Master Shunzhi!"
"Ah! It's him!"
"This is real?"
"So the Great Emperor has no intention of destroying our Manchuria?"
"Thank God..."
"The Emperor's grace is so great!"
A group of Manchu nobles were moved to tears!
Although Xuan Ye is a child, he is Manchu orthodox! No matter how many armies Emperor Shunzhi had, no one could deny that he was orthodox. Shunzhi had decreed that Xuanye should be succeeded to the throne, so Xuanye was the orthodox one. Otherwise, why would Dhoni only be called the regent?
Since Xuan Ye is orthodox, who can say anything if he comes to be the governor of Heilongjiang?
"Then who will be the governor of Jianzhou?" Another Manchu nobleman asked.
"Fourteen Gege is already pregnant," Azige said with a smile. "When the dragon son is born, he will be the governor of Jianzhou!"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter... With the prince of the Zhu family in charge of establishing the state, we can all feel at ease."
"Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless you!"
All the old Manchus bowed toward the southeast - their lives were finally saved!
It's nothing to change the master. Who cares about it now?
Oh, there are still people who care!
That person is Dhoni.
The moment has come to decide Dhoni's fate.
In the palace of Hetuala, Azig met Doni, who had lost several pounds. Doni was also accompanied by a group of Manchurians such as Chani, Obai, Yue Le, Tu Hai, Tan Tai, Leng Sengji, Gang Lin, etc. The nobles all looked at Azig who came from afar.
"Uncle Twelve, Heilongjiang is given to Xuan Ye, and Jianzhou is given to Shi Shigege's son. What will my second brother do?"
It was his brother Chani who asked the question for Doni. Now Doni doesn't trust outsiders much, so he recalled Chaney from Wonsan, North Korea, and made him the commander of his army.
"Of course I went abroad to seek refuge." Azig smiled and said, "How can there be no way out of such a big disaster? Second Prince, take a step back and the world will be brighter..." As he spoke, the old monk took out the thick A thick stack of banknotes, "This is a banknote from Jiale City Bank, totaling 250,000 taels. It was given to you by the 14th Gegetuo... enough for you to live comfortably in a foreign country."
"250,000 taels?" Obai interjected, "Is Fourteen Gege that rich?"
"Of course," Azig said, "Fourteen Gege is the emperor's favorite concubine, how can she have no money? The current emperor is the richest emperor in history!"
"But why did I hear that Shi Shige was not favored and was always beaten?" Yue Le interjected. This guy didn't know where he got the news - it was all rumors!
"Heh heh heh..." Azige laughed evilly, "Hitting is kissing, scolding is love... There are three thousand beauties in the harem of the Holy Emperor, and only fourteen of them are treated like this!"
Azig said: "Second Prince, you can take the 250,000 yuan here. Don't resist any longer. Our old Manchuria is almost gone!"
It's time to test Dhoni!
Everyone looked at him, but Donnie himself was lost in thought - this was also an honest boy. If it had been his father, he would have chopped Azig into pieces long ago!
Now everyone in the city of Hetuala can cast light, but Doni cannot cast light!
If others surrender, they can still become the lord of the valley, seal a piece of land, perform military service, and earn a few wages. But what about Donnie? Even the Ming Dynasty didn't want him... If Zhu Cihong had given him the 250,000 taels of silver notes, he could have left the country safely, but that was given by Ajige privately!
If Donny wants to take the money and leave, hehehe...
Everyone in the room, including Doni's brother Chani, knew that he couldn't take the money, but no one said anything!
Everyone looked at Dhoni.
Donnie was also fascinated by the authorities. He sighed, actually took the banknote, counted it, then nodded and said: "Forget it, I'll go out for a walk..."
Azig said: "I still need to submit a memorial to resign."
"Okay!" Donnie nodded, "I'll write it right away!"
