Qi Jin understood what Mao Wenlong meant as soon as he heard it.
What he meant was that this place was under his control and everyone was on his side.
Now you have received the holy order to migrate the people here. If you fail to migrate successfully, you are disobeying the decree and will be held accountable.
What Mao Wenlong has to do is to mobilize the people who are on his side to oppose the migration.
If he dares to force it, it will play into his hands, and he will submit the impeachment memorial as quickly as possible.
"I won't bother the general. The general's first task should be to train his troops well, consolidate the defense line at Zhenjiang and the Yalu River, and make early defense preparations."
The emperor sent a supervisor to supervise, and it was Qi Jin, a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time. This put Mao Wenlong under many constraints.
In Hetuala, not far from Zhenjiang, life is also not easy for the old slaves.
The failure of several battles caused heavy losses to Jianzhou's population. Although he went to the savage tribes in the north and plundered many strong men from the population, he was still short of resources.
The most fatal thing is that his country's national resources have been exhausted.
Not to mention ordinary people, the Eight Banners he was proud of could only eat two meals a day, and they were still not full.
The encirclement of the Ming army completely blocked him in Jianzhou. Jianzhou was already short of food and clothing, and had no external supply of resources.
It was already very difficult to just maintain normal operations, and he was almost running out of room to survive.
Just when he was about to despair, he contacted Mao Wenlong.
Although he hated Mao Wenlong so much that he gritted his teeth, he still understood the importance.
The most important thing at the moment is how to let his people in Daijin survive this cold winter and reduce the loss of population.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to start business dealings with Mao Wenlong.
He used animal skins and minks that were scarce in the Ming Dynasty, as well as some precious medicinal materials and specialties, to buy food supplies from Mao Wenlong at high prices.
This allowed him to breathe a little easier without breaking down.
However, the peace negotiation with the Ming Dynasty did not have the effect of slowing down the war as he expected.
He had just met the envoy of the Ming Dynasty a few days ago, and he was really angry.
According to the envoy, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty also wanted to stop fighting and negotiate peace, which would only benefit the people on both sides.
However, the premise of the peace negotiation is that Lao Nu must first remove the name of the Dajin Kingdom he established.
Then all the people from the original Haixi Jurchen tribes will be released. No matter where they are, as long as they are still alive, they will be released.
Then all the territories of the Haixi Jurchen tribes were returned, and his sphere of influence was shrunk into the original Jianzhou territory, and he was not allowed to leave the territory.
They also had to submit a letter of surrender to the Ming Dynasty, hand it to Xiong Tingbi in person, and then kneel on the ground and shout long live the Ming Dynasty in front of the armies of both sides.
Zhu Youxiao knew Nuerhachi's ambition and character very well, and it was impossible for him to accept such a humiliating way.
And his prediction was absolutely correct. Nuerhachi was only angry after hearing this. Is such a humiliating way called peacemaking?
What is the difference between this and surrender?
The old slave immediately took a knife and hacked the Ming envoy who came to negotiate to death in the lobby to vent his anger.
"How dare you humiliate me like this, a young child with a yellow mouth? I must make him pay the price."
Nuer Hachi was so angry that the high-ranking generals of Jianzhou and Han slaves such as Li Yongfang who were present did not dare to express their anger.
Fan Wencheng, who had previously offered a peace plan, was now trembling.
He was really afraid of being used as a punching bag by the old slave. Fortunately, the Khan hadn't noticed him yet. Xing Fan Wencheng secretly thought that his life was not in danger.
But how could Mang Gurtai, who had always been at odds with Huang Taiji, let go of such an opportunity?
Fan Wencheng and Huang Taiji have always been very close, and they are obviously his people. How could Mang Gurtai, a rival heir, keep him?
Therefore, he directly asked Nuer Hachi to order the execution of Fan Wencheng, a Han slave.
Although Nuerhachi has a bad temper, he is not a fool. He still has some brains in this regard.
Although he didn't like Han people either, this Fan Wencheng did have some abilities. At least he was a scholar and had not been a scholar.
As for Jianzhou, there is a shortage of such scholars now. He knows the truth very well that if he wants to be big and strong, he must have scholars.
"Okay, that's the end of the so-called peace talks. The Ming Dynasty has no intention of negotiating peace with me, Dajin. It just takes this opportunity to humiliate Ben Khan."
"Besides, this Khan has already killed this messenger, so even if we want to negotiate peace, it is impossible."
"We and Ming Dynasty are already fighting to the death. You all should tell us what we should do next."
Nuerhachi only felt a big head at this time.
Since the little emperor ascended the throne, the situation has reversed in an instant. His invincible Eight Banners warriors have repeatedly encountered obstacles under Xiong Tingbi.
All this happened so fast that he didn't even realize why it was happening.
"Father Khan, the current plan is to accumulate our strength, and when everything is ready, we will launch a surprise attack to defeat the encirclement of the Ming army."
Although Huang Taiji did not want to be in the limelight, the situation forced him to stand up. Otherwise, if this continues, Dajin will be destroyed sooner or later in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
When Nuerhachi saw his most intelligent son speaking, he was very interested and raised his hand to signal him to continue.
"First of all, we should see the current situation clearly."
"The Ming Dynasty has adopted policies such as resource blockade and clearing out the country. The purpose is to trap us in this land with barren land and lack of resources."
"We can no longer plunder the population resources we need anytime and anywhere like before, and our development is greatly restricted."
"My slave believes that the most urgent task is to re-count the population and resources in our country, Dajin."
"Spring plowing is about to begin, and everyone should be allowed to participate in spring plowing."
"But this cultivated area must be centered on Hetuala, and the outer areas should be abandoned directly."
"We cannot allow our remaining resources to be exposed to the threat of the Ming army."
"If there is not enough land, we will open up wasteland."
"In addition to the need to station troops at Sarhu Pass and several military fortresses in the south, all the young and strong laborers in the Eight Banners must also participate in planting more crops and striving to harvest more food in the autumn."
"After all, food is the most critical thing right now. Without food, no matter how brave my warriors are, they will be of no use."
Huang Taiji's meaning is also very obvious, that is, he is admonishing Nuer Hachi that he should recuperate at this time and not use up war to consume himself.
It's just that Nuerhachi's anger hasn't dissipated yet, so he doesn't dare to say it clearly.
