In early July of the ninth year of Dajin Tiancong's reign, in Shenyang, Liaodong.
The streets of Shenyang are still as deserted as ever. Even on the busiest long street north of the Khan Palace, more than half of the shops were closed. This most virtuous capital of the Great Jin Kingdom is much cooler than when Huang Taiji just died.
The reason for this is of course related to the fact that the eight great ama in Funing each occupy their own side. The Eight Great Armas controlled seven of the Eight Banners of Manchuria. Before they were separated, most of the people of the Eight Banners of Manchuria were concentrated around Shenyang City. Therefore, Shenyang, as a central city, has also achieved some development.
But as soon as the Bada Ama was divided, the population around Shenyang suddenly decreased a lot. Only the farms of Zhenghuang Banner Manchuria, Zhenghuang Banner Han Army, Zhenghuang Banner North Korea, and Zhenghuang Banner Mongolian pastures were left. The Han people who originally lived around Shenyang and were called common people, but in fact were worse than slaves, no longer exist anymore. They were all divided among the eight banners to make up for their losses in the Battle of Wuchu Yanshan. After carving up the few Han households in Hou Jin, the thirty-two banners of Hou Jin (including Eight Banners Manchuria, Eight Banners Mongolia, Eight Banners Hanjun, and Eight Banners North Korea) finally had a basic establishment of 7,500 households. Of course, the scale of the two white flags Manchuria and the two white flags North Korea controlled by the three Dorgon brothers were even larger, both with around 10,000 households.
Therefore, in the country of Houjin today, excluding the Koreans who did not surrender the flag and the Mongols of the Zhaowuda League who had become a buffer, the "nationality" of Houjin still has 250,000 households and a population of more than 1.5 million. This number is certainly not small, but can the Eight Banners nation, which has added many coated slaves and Han and Korean civilians who are worse than slaves, still be as brave and good at fighting as before?
Zhang Xiaoqi, who was wearing a yellow jacket (the legendary yellow jacket) and carrying a waist knife, walking on the long street north of Shenyang Khan Palace, could only sigh when he thought about this problem.
Dajin is about to end, but he can no longer leave Dajin Kingdom. Because of his "coffin-carrying performance" last time, Zhang Xiaoqi once again became a glorious slave.
What? Can Zhang Xiaoqi still be glorious as a slave?
Of course, there are high and low levels of coated slaves, and worthless coated pigs and dogs are not as good as others. The high-grade coating is even enviable by the bannermen of the Eight Banners True Manchuria.
Zhang Xiaoqi has now been promoted to Zhenghuang Banner's Qiguguniulu, which means he has become a subordinate slave directly under Taisong and Funing's mother and son. So now he no longer goes to farm outside the city. Instead, he lives in Shenyang City and has a house near the Great Khan's Palace. He goes to the Great Khan's Palace the next day to be on duty and is in charge of the firearms warehouse. He is considered a boss, and he is also in charge of important positions.
If Hou Jin could continue to develop along its original historical path, Zhang Xiaoqi might become the number one figure in the Qing Dynasty's Internal Affairs Office...
But now, Daikin wants to play!
Zhang Xiaoqi's mood couldn't get better when he thought that the Kingdom of Jin, which he had been fighting for for so many years, was actually going to play.
A rapid sound of horse hooves interrupted his thoughts, and he knew that someone was racing horses again on the streets of Shenyang City - now there is often not a ghost in the streets and alleys of Shenyang, so of course there is nothing wrong with running horses. However, "traffic accidents" in which people were accidentally knocked over during horse racing also happened from time to time. For the sake of Taisong, the Queen Mother even issued an order to make people be careful when riding horses.
Zhang Xiaoqi didn't dare to put his life in the hands of others, so he hurriedly walked to the side of the street, and then he stood firm by holding on to the wall, when he saw a group of knights in white clothes and armor galloping past.
Now that Huang Taiji's mourning period has passed, he is still wearing white clothes, so of course he is the figure of Two White Flags.
"The two white flags, no, they are the guards of the Zhengbai Flag!" Zhang Xiaoqi muttered, "Could it be that Doama is here?"
Doama is the Regent Khan of the Kingdom of Jin, Amadorgun!
Now Funing Amado has more than one child, and he is one-sided, so he cannot be ranked first, second, third or fourth! How to distinguish this? How embarrassing it would be if Funing called out "Ama" in the court and a bunch of people turned around and answered!
So the clever Belledorgon came up with the idea of using the first or second sound of each person's name to call Ama and let Funing call her.
Daishan is Daiama, Manggurtai is Mangama, Hauge is Haoama, Dorgon is Duoama, Duoduo is Xiaoduoama, Ajige is Jiama, and Amin is Minama and Yuetuo are Yueama.
But so many Amma don't stay in Shenyang all year round... If you want to see eight Amma every day when you go to court, Funing must have a mental disorder?
And I don’t dare!
Taisong is the queen mother with an army. She has elite soldiers from four banners: Zhenghuang Banner Manchuria, Zhenghuang Banner Mongolia, Zhenghuang Banner Han Army, Zhenghuang Banner North Korea!
In addition, Dai Amadaishan handed over the territory of Tieling, Kaiyuan and the Four Zhenghong Banners to his son Sahalin, and he also lived in Shenyang with half of the Zhenghong Banner's guards.
Dai Ama is a ruthless person, and Tai E Niang is also not easy to deal with. If this couple gets ruthless, it will be huge...
Therefore, the other Ama stayed in their own fiefdoms most of the time, and only took turns coming to Shenyang to be on duty. When they are absent, they will assign their trusted aides to act on behalf of Khan Amma in Shenyang.
Therefore, the "Khan-Amma Republic" of Hou Jin Dynasty is still maintaining well to this day.
But today seems to be a special day, because all the amamas are here.
Not long after Zhang Xiaoqi avoided Dorgon's cavalry, he saw the cavalry of Hao Amma and Min Amma - the two Amma had a good relationship, so they came together. When we arrived at the gate of the Great Khan's Palace, we saw people guarding Yue Ama with a red flag hanging outside.
...
In the Great Khan's Palace, Yue Tuoyue Amma and Mang Gurtai's representative Dege Lei, who entered Shenyang yesterday evening (Mang Gurtai did not come), have arrived at the Phoenix Tower and are talking to Daishan Dai Amma. , Taisong Tai'e Niang drank tea and talked together.
The content of the speech is related to the future and destiny of the Kingdom of Jin.
"Have you read all the information about Duo Amma?" Taisong, who was living a good life, so much so that his belly was bulging, said with a smile, "Yue Amma, Ten Belles (Dege Line Ten), what do you think?" ? Is it necessary for our Daikin to change its name to something nicer? Also, can Korea be destroyed? Can the Japanese be friends with each other?"
Yue Tuo has already closed the copy of the memorial sent by Dorgon - he and several other Amma and Dege who do not live in Shenyang came to Shenyang because of this memorial.
Dorgon's memorial said three things: first, to conquer North Korea; second, to change the country's name and give Funing an honorary title; third, to establish a good relationship with Japan.
Dorgon's established policy was to conquer North Korea, and his goal was to take over North Korea. Originally, he planned to rely on the power of the two white flags to accomplish this, but he found that North Korea's Li Xin and Li Datou were not easy to mess with! In the past two years, the strength has become stronger and stronger. Not only has the new army trained three regiments and one battalion (two infantry regiments, one cavalry regiment, and one artillery battalion), but it has also begun to help North Korea train its new army, which is also the third regiment. One battalion.
If these two new armies are formed, it will not be easy for the Kingdom of Jin to conquer North Korea.
So Dorgon decided to speed up the process and take advantage of Zhu Youjian's temporary lack of time to go east to attack North Korea with all his strength!
And this requires concentrating the power of the Eight Banners. This is not something that Dorgon can make the decision alone.
And to conquer North Korea, you can't just rely on force. You have to disguise yourself and pretend to be the survivors of Goguryeo and civilized humans. Therefore, it is best to change the names of Jin Mongol and Dajin Khan to names that sound more upscale.
In addition, Dorgon also plans to contact an ally to "jointly plan for North Korea". This ally is Japan.
The envoy he sent to Japan to purchase guns and gunpowder has returned, bringing a letter from the Japanese general, 2,000 Japanese muskets, 10,000 kilograms of Japanese gunpowder, and a gift from the Japanese general to Funing. Gift.
This allowed Dorgon to see the hope of developing a firearms force to compete with the Ming Dynasty, and also made him feel that it was feasible to unite Japan to conquer Korea...
