Huang Taiji looked at Ning Wanwo and asked, "What do you think of Mr. Ning?"
"I feel that although my army of Dajin besieged Jinzhou City, it has been so long and still has not captured Jinzhou City. Not only did it consume a lot of food and grass, but the generals and officers in the army may also become war-weary and continue to attack Jinzhou City. It doesn't make much sense to waste it in the city." Ning Wanwo said.
Huang Taiji pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Ning, do you think we should withdraw?"
"My slave thinks that we can retreat first, accumulate strength and then fight. If we don't retreat, it's best to change the general. We haven't captured Jinzhou City for so long. If we replace it with someone else, the situation may turn around." Ning Wanwo replied.
After hearing this, Huang Taiji nodded lightly.
Whether it is retreating troops or changing generals, it will be a suppression of Mang Gurtai.
"If there is a change of generals, who should take over?" Huang Taiji asked.
Ning Wan thought for a while and said: "I think the Great Khan's personal expedition can best boost morale. If he comes to Jinzhou City in person, he will definitely win the city. If it is replaced by someone else to replace Wu Baylor, I can't think of any suitable candidates for the time being. .”
"I won't go to Jinzhou City." Huang Taiji rejected the proposal to go to Jinzhou.
He didn’t lose his mind because of Ning Wan’s compliments. Even Mang Gurtai didn’t take Jinzhou City. After he went there, if he didn’t take Jinzhou City, what would happen to him, who was a sweater? Prestige will be a big hit.
He won't take this risk.
"Withdraw troops from Jinzhou!" Huang Taiji thought for a while and decided to let Mang Gurtai withdraw his troops.
The weather in the Ming Dynasty was not good, and the situation of Daijin in Liaodong was even worse. He could not get enough benefits from the expedition, and even if he won a big victory, it would still be a defeat for Daijin.
As the Great Khan, he needs to make overall arrangements and cannot allow Mang Gurtai to continue to consume food and grass outside.
After Ning finished, Fan Wencheng and I looked at each other.
They saw relief in each other's eyes.
In their view, Mang Gurtai's retreat was the most correct decision for Dajin. Instead of putting its efforts on the difficult-to-deal with Tiger Flag, it would be better to put it on Daming, which was easier to deal with.
"Both gentlemen, please get up!" Huang Taiji gently raised his hand to signal Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo who were kneeling on the ground to get up.
After Ning Wan, Fan Wencheng and I got up from the ground.
Huang Taiji looked at Fan Wencheng and said: "I know that Mr. Fan's idea is also for the good of Daikin, but no one can guarantee that Daikin can quickly win Jinzhou City. At present, we can only give up Jinzhou City. Fortunately, The tiger thief has just captured Deng, so Da Jin still has time."
"The great Khan has a great reputation, but a servant is far behind." Fan Wencheng bowed, feeling moved in his heart.
Huang Taiji could explain it specifically to him. In his opinion, this was Huang Taiji's respect for the virtuous corporal and the importance he paid to him as a Han official.
"I have something here, you should take a look at it!" Huang Taiji took out a round flat object and motioned to Obai to take it to them.
After Obai took it, he looked at it curiously. It was engraved with patterns and lines, and it looked very exquisite.
"May I ask the Great Khan what this is? Could it be my newly minted silver coin?" Fan Wencheng saw one or two characters engraved on the silver dollar and immediately realized that the thing in his hand was probably a kind of currency.
Huang Taiji said: "This thing is a silver dollar. The silver dollar you are holding in your hand is worth one or two. This thing has banned scattered silver in the land of tiger thieves."
"It turns out this thing is a silver dollar." Fan Wencheng looked at the silver dollar in his hand several times. This was the first time he had seen and touched it with his own hands.
I had only heard of it before, but no one in Daikin used this kind of silver coin.
Or some people may have such silver coins in their hands, but no one dares to take them out and use them. After all, the tiger-character flag is involved, and they may be accused of being an adulterer.
Huang Taiji said: "Two gentlemen, take a closer look at this silver dollar. If it is made by the Wenguan, can something similar be made?"
"Big gold has no shortage of silver. There is no need to waste time making silver coins like this." Fan Wencheng said.
Although he didn't know much about craftsmen, looking at such an exquisite silver dollar, he knew that it would not be easy to create a similar silver dollar.
Huang Taiji said: "I have asked people to see it. This silver dollar contains only 60 to 70% silver. Although the weight remains the same, it is mixed with other things. If I, Dajin, also create a similar silver dollar, it can be made out of thin air." A lot more wealth.”
Seeing Hu Ziqi's method of amassing money, he was very jealous.
One tael of silver can be broken into two taels of silver, how can you not be moved?
"It can be made, but it requires sophisticated craftsmen to study it for a period of time." Fan Wencheng said.
Although the silver dollar in his hand is exquisite, in his opinion, it can be made as long as the craftsman puts his heart into it.
At this time, Ning Wanwo suddenly said: "The patterns and lines on the silver coins are probably to prevent someone from grinding off the silver shavings from them. Although I, Dajin, can also make similar silver coins, I want to make them exactly the same. It takes a lot of time to produce just one silver dollar, and it is difficult to produce a large number of silver coins for daily use."
"The tiger thief can cast a large amount of silver coins, can't I use gold?" Huang Taiji frowned.
He was unwilling to give up such an opportunity to expand his wealth, and he was unwilling to admit that Daikin was not as good as the Tiger Flag.
Ning Wanwo said: "Although I don't know how the tiger thief casts a large amount of silver coins, I'm afraid it can't be done by manpower alone. There must be something we don't know. I think we should send more spies to the places under the tiger thief's rule. , try to figure out how the tiger thieves cast silver coins in large quantities, and how the tiger thieves cast cannons and firecrackers quickly."
This time it was Huang Taiji's turn to be silent.
It's not that Daikin's spies were not sent to the areas under the rule of the Tiger Character Banner, but most of the spies sent lost contact after entering the territory of the Tiger Character Banner.
Even if a few spies came back later, they did not bring any useful news. Instead, they brought back a lot of news about the free land distribution and tax reduction and exemption for the people under the Tiger Character Banner.
These news can only show that the Tiger Flag is more generous to the people, but it is not a good thing for Daikin.
Because there were too many spies sent to the Tiger-Character Banner, it would be more useful to send these spies to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the number of spies sent to the Tiger-Character Banner was reduced, and the number of spies sent to the Ming Dynasty was increased. Number of spies.
However, it was impossible for Huang Taiji to tell Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo about this kind of thing.
Although he has been using Hanchen and showing importance to him, he has always been on guard. From the beginning to the end, it was the Jurchens from the Eight Banners who really had the final say.
"Is there really no way to imitate this product in large quantities?" Huang Taiji asked again unwillingly.
"It's very difficult. We can cast similar silver coins in large quantities. If we just get some silver coins that are similar in appearance and don't have so many pictures, we can give it a try." Ning Wanwo said.
