In Shenyang Khan Palace and Dazheng Hall, Funing, the Great Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty, was swaying and greeting his amamas.
"Greetings to Dai Amma."
"Greetings to Doama."
"Greetings to Haoama."
"Greetings to Min Amma."
"Greetings to Yue Ama."
"Mother, do you have any other ama?"
Hearing Xiao Funing's question, the ministers of the Jin Dynasty in the Dazheng Palace sighed... How could Daishan and Dorgon, who were uncles and uncles, imagine that one by one, Khan Ama Regent , at Funing's age, so many Armas appeared all at once, and they were probably stunned!
"No, there are three more, but they didn't come... Funing, please sit down." Taisong's eyes moved, and he calmed down the expressions of everyone in the Dazheng Palace, and then asked his son to sit next to him.
Just now, Funing was standing to greet his amamas... Those things like worshiping without fame, entering the court without following, and going to the palace with swords and shoes are not a problem to the amahs. They are all "Khan Amma", why don't they just do whatever they want when they go to court? Even if someone had to carry it up in an eight-carat sedan chair, no one would dare to say it couldn't be done. But Funing was in pain and had to get up and greet Khan Ama respectfully. Fortunately, there is no need to kowtow. Otherwise, if one Ama kowtows three times, five Ama will have to kowtow fifteen times. There is also an Nian Niang who will kowtow three more times, kowtowing the head in one circle and making a bundle.
Amma all have seats in the Dazheng Hall, how else can they reflect the dignity of Amma?
Taisong and Funing share the same building, with four or eight seats on each side, which are the seats for the Ammas. Daishan, Dorgon, Haoge, Amin, and Yuetuo each took the top spot, and it was the turn of the courtiers of the Kingdom of Jin to be unlucky.
A great khan, a queen mother, and five khans and amamas must all be worshiped! After all, Funing was sweating profusely, so he didn't have to kowtow to the amamas, but they were slaves and had to kowtow. After kowtowing in a circle, everyone's head turned into a kowtowing bug.
Seeing that everyone below had finished kowtowing, Taisong said: "Although there are only five Khan Amma here today, the Mang Amma who did not come sent ten beile to represent him, Ji Amma and Xiao Duo Amma." We are represented by Doama, so we are all gathered together and can discuss the biggest military and national affairs.”
In fact, having more Khan Ama has both advantages and disadvantages for Taisong, a sweat-fronted mother. The good thing is that if there are too many amahs, the price will drop. The eight khan amahs all look quite majestic, but they are also restraining each other. Anyone who takes the lead will be targeted by the other amahs. Therefore, Daishan, who held the emperor hostage and slept with the queen mother, not only did not dare to seize Taisong's power, but instead wanted to protect her at all times. Gradually, Taisong was promoted to the center of the ammas, and he became the presiding officer of the meetings between the hammas and the ministers.
On the negative side, it is difficult for Taison to eradicate so many khans through palace coups. For example, there are five khans and amamas in the Dazheng Palace now. If Taisong arranges for his Mongolian sword and axemen to chop them all, the remaining ones are Hauge, Azig, Mang Gurtai, and Daishan's son Saha. Lin, Yue Tuo, and Amin's son Aierli started an army together, but her queen mother and Funing's Khan couldn't go on.
Therefore, a very stable power structure has been formed in Daikin. Taisong and Funing looked like they were being held hostage by eight ama's, but none of these eight ama's dared to touch them. Moreover, the two of them also have an army and a territory, and the eight amamas have to make offerings to them according to the wealth of their respective territories.
Taisong said to Dorgon: "Doama, please tell me first... This big meeting was convened at your request."
Dorgon smiled and said: "Okay, let me tell you... The fleet I sent to Japan for trading has returned, bringing back 2,000 Japanese blunderbuss and 10,000 kilograms of gunpowder. Those Although the gunpowder is old, it can still be used. And the 10,000 kilograms of gunpowder came just in time! What we lack most now is not gunpowder, but gunpowder!"
The amount of powder required to fire a Japanese gunshot gun ranges from one and a half to two cents. One tael of gunpowder can fire a Japanese gun six to seven times, and one pound (16 taels) can fire hundreds of times. In a day's fierce battle, if a gun can fire 30 rounds, it is very powerful.
In other words, the 10,000 kilograms of gunpowder bought along with the 2,000 Japanese bird guns is enough to allow the 2,000 bird guns to fight ten more high-intensity battles after completing the training mission - of course, the Japanese bird guns are not The sturdy turtle dove gun is probably not that durable. However, the Later Jin Army originally had many artillery pieces, fire blunderbuss and three-eyed blunderbuss. Without these gunpowder, they would all be turned into scrap metal.
So this time Japan's Tokugawa shogunate did help Hou Jin a big favor!
Dorgon went on to say: "I heard Liu Lin, who went to Japan on business, say that although Japan produces firecrackers, it does not have much gunpowder... It is not easy to take out 10,000 kilograms at a time. Originally, what did they do? They didn’t agree to sell us so much gunpowder, but it was their general who spoke out before selling it to us. And their general even gave Funing Khan a generous gift!"
After saying this, Dorgon took the generous gift from a guard beside him and asked a eunuch to take it and pass it to Taisong.
"This is..." Taisong took a look at the gift and found that it was a map.
Dorgon said: "This is a geographical map of the mountains and rivers of North Korea. It indicates the roads, passes, cities, ports, and even the food output in various places...With this, we can attack North Korea." Nan Wudao’s eyes are not completely black.”
Tai Song was stunned, "Why does Japan know so much about the situation in North Korea?"
Daishan interjected: "They attacked Korea once during the Wanli period. If the Ming Dynasty had not sent troops, Korea would have been swallowed up by Japan."
"Then speaking of it..." Tai Song frowned slightly, "The Japanese must be thinking that both us and North Korea will lose, so they can send troops to occupy North Korea's territory again, right?"
Dorgon smiled and said: "Of course...otherwise where would such a good thing be? 10,000 kilograms of gunpowder!"
"Aren't you afraid that we will make wedding clothes for others?" Taisong asked.
"Don't be afraid!" Dorgon waved his hand and said with a smile, "Japan's cavalry is too weak...and their navy is not strong either. At most they occupy a little of the southern coast of Korea, and most of it is ours. "
Speaking of this, Dorgon suddenly lowered his tone: "And we will eventually have a war with the Ming Dynasty! Now Zhu Youjian will always have trouble due to famine and civil unrest in the country, plus the need to digest such a big mess in Mongolia. We won’t have a big fight with us for a few years. But what about a few years from now? If we don’t take advantage of the opportunity to swallow up more land and population, what will we do to fight the Ming Dynasty?
In addition, life in our junior high school is not easy! Is there another spring famine this year? Isn't life more difficult at the second and third Baylors? Let's seize the fifth southern route of Korea, no matter what, we can seize it... so that we can overcome the current difficulties! "
"But will the Ming Dynasty send large-scale troops to North Korea?" Dai Amadaishan asked.
Dorgon chuckled: "I can't ask for it!"
"How do you say it?" Daishan asked.
Dorgon smiled and said: "The Ming Dynasty will send troops, and Japan will also send troops... Let's get Japan to go to war with the Ming Dynasty in Korea. It's better than going to war alone in Liaodong, right?"
"How are you sure that the Ming Dynasty will send troops in a large scale?" Hauge asked, "We have occupied three roads in North Korea, and we have not seen the Ming Dynasty sending troops in a large scale."
"Haha, God!" Dorgon sneered, "How could we be allowed to separate Korea from Japan? We would not be allowed to form an alliance with Japan to resist the Ming Dynasty because of Korea.
So as long as we carve up Korea with Japan, the Ming Dynasty will definitely send troops in large numbers! "
His calculation is quite reasonable. If Japan does not send troops, Zhu Youjian is likely to let "Li Datou" slowly play with the Jin army in North Korea.
But as soon as the Japanese sent troops, Zhu Youjian had to immediately send out a large army to nip the signs of Japanese expansion into the mainland in the bud.
Because there are only a million people in Houjin's nation, occupying North Korea will only disperse their strength. When the time comes, they will have to defend here and there, and there will be places to suppress, and they will be too busy.
Japan has a population of almost 20 million! It was still an archipelago country far away from the Central Plains. It was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to send enough troops to conquer the Japanese mainland across the sea. Therefore, once they have a solid territory on the Korean Peninsula, they are likely to gradually grow bigger, and it will be difficult for the Ming army to drive them back.
