Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 998 Determination
Anyone who can accomplish great things is always ruthless and cruel. Huang Taiji is such a person. For the sake of what he wants, he can endure things that ordinary people cannot endure. Until the opportunity arises, he will pounce on it like a hungry wolf. Even if he has to gamble his entire fortune, he will not hesitate at all.

It’s done. I changed my destiny.

If you lose, everything is over.

The sun is high in the sky.

Shengjing City returned to its original state.

People, still those people.

But some things have changed.

Although the people here are accustomed to killing, many are still unwilling to face what happened before, even though it has passed.

But the past is the past after all, and people cannot always be immersed in the past.

Khan's palace.

A solemn and murderous atmosphere enveloped the place.

Sharp warriors wearing armor and carrying swords were standing guard in various places, like sculptures. The only difference was that there were many more unfamiliar faces on duty here.

"Cough cough~"

A rapid cough broke the silence in the hall.

"Master~"

Upon seeing this, Fan Wencai, Fan Wencheng, and Sony all stepped forward with concern on their faces. Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the Khan's throne, looked a little pale, but when the others stepped forward, Huang Taiji stretched out his hand to signal, which made the others stop, but the expressions they showed reflected what they were thinking.

The Eight Banners have changed.

The old Khan left.

The new Khan ascended the throne.

In the current situation, the new Khan must not make any mistakes. If he dares to make any mistakes, regardless of what will happen to the Eight Banners, they will all suffer a bad end!

"I have been thinking about this in recent days."

Under the gazes of several people, Huang Taiji endured the pain and said in a low voice: "If the Eight Banners want to get rid of the current predicament, they must not be led by the nose by the violent Ming. After the battle of Jinshan, although my Eight Banners have changed, and even conquered Khorchin, Nurgan and other places, they have accumulated strength to recuperate and seek revenge on the violent Ming in the future."

“But in some matters, we are still not decisive enough!”

"In view of the current complex situation, this Khan has decided to abandon the old capital and order the garrisons in Hetuala and other places to move north. Since the violent Ming Dynasty is holding on to it, the Eight Banners will not want these places anymore!"

"In my opinion, these places are like chicken ribs, which are tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away. However, for the current Eight Banners, abandoning them may cause new troubles, but not abandoning them may lead to complete collapse!"

A word stirred up a thousand waves.

Fan Wencai, Fan Wencheng and Sony were all shocked after hearing this. They had never imagined that their master would actually abandon Hetuala and other places. This was no small matter.

"Master, if we do this, I'm afraid there will be turmoil within our Eight Banners!" Sony suppressed his shock and looked at Huang Taiji with wide eyes.

"I can never give it up. This is the root of my Eight Banners!"

"Although Hudun and Tuhan are very strong in the Korqin area, they are not willing to do such a thing. Once this matter gets out, I'm afraid..." Sony couldn't continue at this point.

It seems that the Eight Banners simply changed their master, a new Khan is true, but in fact this is not the case. The changes it brought about are too great.

In the current situation, external threats are continuing and internal troubles have not yet been alleviated. In such a situation, Huang Taiji actually wants to abandon Hetuala and other places.

No matter what the idea is, this is definitely not a small matter.

If this can be abandoned, then what is the Great Jin? What about what the Eight Banners did in the past?
When Nurhaci was still alive, although he chose to move his core forces northward to avoid the powerful Ming army in Liao, he never gave up Hetuala.

Even though there were no major wars in this area, there were constant small riots and conflicts, which were constantly consuming the remaining troops, but Nurhaci still did not give up.

Because giving up these is equivalent to giving up the pride of the Eight Banners and the pride of Aisin-Gioro!

This pride was gained through decades of wars, with countless blood and lives shed. It was because of this that the Great Jin ruled by Aisin Gioro came into being, and that the Eight Banners army headed by Aisin Gioro came into being.

But now Huang Taiji is going to give up all of this.

"That's it."

Huang Taiji ignored Sony's advice and said in a sonorous tone: "I will explain this matter clearly at the court meeting held today. The Great Jin cannot continue like this, and the Eight Banners cannot do this any more. Right now, the most important thing for our Eight Banners is to resolve the crisis, not to waste time here!"

How could he not know Sony's concerns?

But it was precisely because of this knowledge that Huang Taiji decided to do so.

He is not Nurhaci.

His name is Huang Taiji.

The Eight Banners ruled by Nurhaci were destined to be different from the Eight Banners ruled by his son Huang Taiji, and Huang Taiji did not want to face failure.

He has been planning for this day for too long.

If the Eight Banners want to be different, they must break away from the rhythm of the Ming Dynasty and cannot do whatever the Ming Dynasty wants. Otherwise, even if the Eight Banners are aggressive in other places and can continue to make profits and gain, they will continue to bleed in the areas bordering the Ming Dynasty.

"Benhan has already thought about it."

Under the gaze of Dao Dao, Huang Taiji continued: "By next year at the latest, the garrison headed by Hetuala, along with all the people under its jurisdiction, will all be relocated to Wuyewuwei (Jilin City), Tanzhou Station (Dunhua), Nanjing Station (Yanji), and Tawen (Tumen)."

"The Eight Banners don't want the lands between the above mentioned areas and the Liao area, and we won't get involved. Don't the Ming dogs want to advance to Liaodong and bleed our Eight Banners? Very well, then I will give them all these uninhabited lands, and I will see how they advance!!"

The hunting and gold mining activities carried out by the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong have always had an impact on the Jianlu, because many previous battles have yielded victory after victory, which has long since dispelled the fear of the enemy. The current situation is that driven by direct interests, there are many more armed merchant groups on the border of Liao, and some of the powerful ones even have a lot of obsolete muskets and artillery.

Although this strategy may have some impact on Liaodong, on a larger scale, it can continue to bleed the Jianlu, and it is accompanied by joint operations in the two parts of the Liao Dynasty. This policy must continue to be implemented.

But now.

The Eight Banners were now under the control of Huang Taiji. He had realized this very early on, so he had no intention of playing around. Even though the core area where the Eight Banners were currently located was a cold and barren land, as long as it could be governed, it might not be inferior to the places previously occupied.

He wanted to create a buffer zone between the Eight Banners and the Ming Dynasty, which would allow him to further control the Eight Banners and change the Eight Banners to buy time. When he solved these problems, it would be time to compete with the Ming Dynasty. As for failure, Huang Taiji never thought about it! !
