The emergence and application of steam engines also influenced Zuo Mengeng invisibly.
He became more confident and calm.
Although he had a very powerful army, Zuo Mengeng had always been worried.
He is also not sure whether what he does can change the history of the Chinese nation.
For five thousand years, many heroes were powerful for a while, but in the end they met a sad end.
It wasn't until this time that he saw with his own eyes that the steam engine appeared more than 150 years in advance and was put into use, and he was finally convinced that history was under his control.
The emergence of the steam engine not only represents how many advanced and powerful weapons can be produced, but also represents a vast amount of resources.
How much land can be conquered with how many resources there are.
Otherwise, no matter how hard the army can fight, it will eventually reach its limit.
And once a country has a steady supply of resources, it can expand further.
Zuo Mengeng stared at the north, thinking secretly in his heart.
"Huang Taiji, it's your turn to take action."
The grassland in July is full of water and grass.
At this time, the nomadic people should drive their cattle and sheep to find the most abundant pastures, so that the livestock can fatten and grow as much meat as possible.
Because it won’t be long before the cold winter is coming.
It is difficult for livestock to survive the severe cold without storing energy.
But now in the grassland, people are panicked by a major event.
Dorgon, Sahalian and Hauge returned from the Hetao area.
They walked very slowly, very leisurely, as if they were out for a picnic.
It's not that they encountered any difficulties, it's just that they did it on purpose.
"This time the Mongols must choose whether to be our friends or our enemies. I believe they understand the consequences of their choice."
As Dorgon said, the Mongolian grassland is undergoing turmoil today.
Every Mongolian prince and noble has no way to stay out of the matter.
Finally, when the returning army reached Horqin, all the princes and nobles of Monan Mongolia rushed to catch up.
"Lin Dan Khan is unpopular, and we have long since disowned him. Now that the imperial seal has fallen into the hands of the Great Khan, it is a destiny. We Mongolians have long recognized that the Great Jintian Khan is our common master."
Bada Li beat everyone to it and offered his loyalty to Hou Jin.
He is the eldest son of Oba.
After Oba's death, he succeeded to the throne of Khan.
Although Horqin and Houjin became allies during Oba's era, Oba was at both ends of the spectrum.
When Huang Taiji conquered Chahar for the first time, Auba disobeyed orders and followed his instructions, which made Huang Taiji furious.
The matter finally ended with Auba personally rushing to Shenyang and apologizing to Huang Taiji face to face.
Badali became increasingly cautious after inheriting the throne, always thinking about how to repair the rifts in the past.
This time Hou Jin eliminated the Chahar tribe and also obtained the imperial seal. Badali felt that this was an opportunity and quickly expressed his attitude.
Sure enough, his enthusiasm got good results, and Dorgon gave him a smile.
"Horqin has come to be friendly with me, Dajin. With a friend like Badali Jinong (Prince), why should the grassland not be prosperous?"
Badali said yes and quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He knew that after this incident, he had overcome the difficulty and could rest easy.
But his actions made Wu Keshan very dissatisfied.
Everyone has the same idea, why do you take the lead?
Compared with the Badal Rites, Wu Keshan thought more.
Because his sister is Huang Taiji's side friend Jin Bumu Butai.
If Huang Taiji goes further, he can also follow the chicken and dog to heaven.
"Mergan Daiqing, it is passed down that only the virtuous will live in the country's jade seal. The Great Khan is destined to return, and he should be the common master of the world."
As soon as this statement came out, all the Mongolian princes and nobles present were shocked.
I never expected that Wu Keshan would be so radical and wanted to persuade Huang Taiji to ascend the throne as emperor.
But when they looked at the obscure expressions of Dorgon and others, these human beings finally came to their senses.
"Zhu Ming is unethical and regards us as barbarians. He is cruel and unethical. Only the Great Khan of the Jin Kingdom can become our lord."
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"The Great Khan proclaimed himself emperor in the south and unified the northern territory. He just happened to be on the same side as Zhu Ming. This is the right time!"
The forty-nine Mongolian princes competed for it, as if they were all united, fearing that they would fall behind and be on Huang Taiji's blacklist.
This is what Dorgon and others want.
Since the rise of the Later Jin Dynasty, it has encompassed the entire Liaodong, and with the addition of Monan Mongolia, the territory is not much smaller than that of the Ming Dynasty.
Everyone among the officials and generals of the Later Jin Dynasty wanted to go one step further, be granted the title of marquis, worship the prime minister, and enjoy eternal wealth.
If you want to do this, Huang Taiji will have to go one step further.
It can be said that even if Huang Taiji does not want to proclaim himself emperor, the people below will build momentum and push him to proclaim himself emperor.
Seeing that the momentum has been formed, Sahalian was very happy.
"The Great Khan is humble and self-aware, and has repeatedly failed to achieve his goals. I also ask for your feedback to strengthen the Great Khan's ambition."
The princes loudly said yes and followed Dorgon and others to Shenyang.
When he learned that Dorgon and others returned in triumph, they not only destroyed the Chahar tribe, but also welcomed back the imperial seal, Huang Taiji took it seriously.
Just outside Shenyang City, in front of countless soldiers and civilians, Huang Taiji bowed three times and kowtowed to the imperial seal, then held it in his hands and raised it above his head to show it to all the people.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Jin Dynasty, as if they had rehearsed, collectively prostrated on the ground and shouted nine times for long live the event.
Seeing that everyone has a clear attitude, Huang Taiji can be said to be very satisfied.
However, even though he was very anxious about ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, he still had to play the part that should be done.
When the ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty wrote letters one after another, asking him to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, he refused them all.
It was as if ascending the throne was not what he wanted, and he had no intention of doing so.
The trick of three speeches and three invitations was not only practiced by the Han dynasty, but also by these barbarians.
The more Huang Taiji declined, the more radical the people below him became.
The documents of petition poured into the palace like snowflakes, which also represented the thoughts of up and down.
But looking at these memorials, Huang Taiji felt extremely helpless.
Doesn't he want to be emperor?
Of course he does.
But just proclaiming himself emperor, there is still something missing.
Just having the support of the Jurchens, the Han people in Liaodong, and the Mongols is not always so justifiable.
What is an emperor?
Son of God.
In other words, the emperor is the common master of the whole world.
When proclaiming the emperor without the vassal's worship and recognition, such an emperor lacks the necessary legal principles.
The farce of persuading people to enter continued until December. Seeing that everyone was staying out of the alley, Huang Taiji finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Enthroning the throne and establishing a country is a major event and should not be taken carelessly. North Korea is a country of brothers and should be discussed with us."
The position of Hou Jin determined that if he wanted to have a vassal state platform, the only choice was North Korea.
The ministers of Hou Jin suddenly realized it and immediately made arrangements.
"Thanks to the Great Khan, the Princess of North Korea has just passed away. It is just the right time to send an envoy to discuss with her."
Yue Tuo found a suitable reason and immediately got Huang Taiji's permission.
After deliberation, the Ministry of Revenue Chengzheng Susa and Mafuta went to North Korea as envoys in the name of spring letters and condolences.
Huang Taiji finally took the first step to founding a country and proclaiming himself emperor.
