I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 512: The Liao Massacre Order

Seeing Zhang Anning frowning, Zhang Shun couldn't help but smile:

"Look, I scared you. Don't worry. I have been in contact with Chen Liangce a long time ago. They also revealed good news to me, saying that he had contacted Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Han army's infantry. This man also disliked Jianlu. Action, with the intention of bringing order to chaos.”

"Is this true?"

Zhang Anning immediately beamed with joy when he heard this. This Liu Xingzuo was no ordinary person.

He was originally from the Liao Dynasty. He was exiled to Jianlu during the Wanli period and was highly used by Nurhachi.Finally, he was included under the Zhenghong banner and was highly appreciated by Daishan.

He even married the daughter of the wet nurse of Daishan's son Saharian, so she was highly used by Daishan.It can be said that among the officials of the Jianlu Han Dynasty, his status was second only to Li Yongfang, the prince-in-law of Fushun.

When the Han army was newly established last year, in order to taint the Han army and prevent Li Yongfang from getting into trouble, Daishan used his connections to appoint Liu Xingzuo as the infantry commander of the Han army, a first-class powerful figure.

"It must be serious. Chen Liangce will lie to me at this time. He said that Liu Xingzuo had long been dissatisfied with the Jurchens' wanton slaughter of the Han people, so he was in panic all day long, so he took the opportunity to win over him, and unexpectedly they hit it off.

Liu Xingzuo commanded 3000 Han infantry, plus Chen Liangbi's 5000 artillery.Of the 4000 Han troops, a total of [-] are at our disposal. It is extremely easy to start an uprising, and Li Yongfang cannot stop them at all. "

Zhang Shunyue became more excited as he spoke. Chen Liangce's ability to instigate Liu Xingzuo at this moment really helped them a lot.

The current situation is obvious, and the battle between Jianlu and the imperial court is just around the corner.If on the battlefield, the Han army can counterattack at a critical moment, it will definitely turn the tide and decide the situation of the battle. By then, they will definitely have made a great contribution.

"It's just that now the Jianlu have put more and more restrictions on the Han army. They are not allowed to leave the camp without authorization, everything needs to be reported, and even food, wages, and food have begun to be withheld.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners also looked down upon the soldiers of the Han army, and insults and beatings also occurred.Anyway, life is difficult for the Han army now, and they will be jealous if they make the slightest move, so they are very resentful, like a pile of firewood, which is about to be ignited. "

Although the situation is very good, Zhang Shun, who was born in Jinyiwei, understands that at this time, he cannot take it lightly.What's more, Jianlu is very sensitive now, and the Han army must be extremely careful in their actions.

"It's not only the Han army that has a hard time, but also the Han people among the captives. When I left today, Yue Tuo told me not to go out casually, otherwise something would easily happen."

Zhang Anning frowned when he saw this. The Han people who built the captives were exploited wantonly, which made him heartbroken.

"You said Yue Tuo told you not to go out casually?"

When Zhang Shun saw this, he was not only not comforted, but also asked about its authenticity.Although Zhang Anning was confused, he nodded in confirmation.

"Dai Shan also told Liu Xingzuo this."

Zhang Shun looked hesitant when he heard this, and then said something slowly.

But Zhang Anning's face suddenly turned pale, and he didn't know what to say.Yue Tuo and Dai Shan were both leaders of the Eight Banners, so they definitely meant what they said.

Thinking of this, he felt uneasy and immediately started pacing back and forth in the room.After walking for a while, I didn't know what I thought of, and immediately walked to Zhang Shun.

"Last year they forced the Liao people to hand over their rations. Now they have suffered repeated defeats and are running out of food and grass. The Jurchens are extremely resentful of the Han people and may not want to massacre and plunder the Liao people."

Zhang Anning's words revealed Zhang Shun's thoughts, and he thought the same.

"You are right. If I was a little hesitant before, but now I am 100% sure that the Jianlu will take action soon. Slaughtering the Liao people can, on the one hand, plunder food rations, and on the other hand, it can reduce the population pressure through massacre and relieve the Jurchens The dissatisfaction, why wouldn’t they do it.”

"How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Anning immediately remembered the scene of being massacred by Jianlu in Kaiyuan City. That scene was like the end of the world. He never wanted to put himself in such a situation again, and he never wanted to let the Han people fall into such a situation again.

Looking at Zhang Anning who was a little panicked, Zhang Shun immediately stood up and held his shoulders, stared into his eyes and said slowly:

"Don't panic. We have two plans for now. One is to report to the court and implore the emperor to send troops. The second is to quickly report to Chen Liangce and Liu Xingzuo. Things are different now. We have swords now. If you really dare to touch us, then Just fight to the death, the old dog still has a few teeth."

After listening to Zhang Shun's arrangements, Zhang Anning gradually calmed down and took a long breath.

Zhang Shun is right, the old dog still has a few teeth, it’s a big deal!
"Okay, then you hurry up and report to the court and Chen Liangce. I'll see if I can get some useful information from Yue Tuo and see when they will take action."
-
At this moment, Nurhachi had already called Huang Taiji, Daishan and other powerful people in Jianlu to discuss the matter.

But at this time, Nurhaci was exhausted. The meeting was almost over, but the smell of gunpowder among the people present had not dissipated. Everyone had their own thoughts and opinions.Thinking of this, he cheered up and said suddenly:
"Then it's settled. Today is March [-]th. He Heli issued an edict on the [-]th, ordering all Han tenant farmers to turn in grain on the [-]th, which is against military law. After you go back, you can give instructions to the bannermen. , if any Han people dare to resist at that time, they will be killed without mercy."

Mang Gurtai, Daishan, Amin and others present all nodded in agreement. Only Huang Taiji and Yue Tuan looked embarrassed. Seeing that everyone agreed, they could only agree secretly.Nurhaci glanced at them and said slowly:

"Now you are most aware of the situation in Daikin. If we cannot overcome this difficulty, we in Daikin will be in danger, so you must take this matter seriously. These Han tenant farmers are of no use and are wasting food, so we should suffer them first. . Anyway, the Han people are like ants. When the situation improves, more Han people will definitely come to defect, and more people will work here." Nurhachi's words were thorough, that is, these Han people were useless and could be slaughtered wantonly.The order to hand over grains was only on the surface, in fact it was an order to massacre Liao.

"Father, don't worry, doing this can also improve the morale of the Eight Banners. We will definitely not slack off."

Mang Gurtai immediately recovered after hearing this, and glanced at Huang Taiji and Yue Tuan again.

Originally, these two people were the most opposed to this matter, feeling that this move would definitely arouse resistance from the Han people.But since Huang Taiji returned in defeat, Huang Taiji did not have the confidence to speak, so he did not object to this matter again.

"That's good, then you go back and prepare for the time being. This matter will be kept secret for the time being, and no one should reveal the information. We will take action on the [-]th."

"My son, I understand!"

Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Nurhaci didn't want to say anything more, and then waved his hand to ask everyone to leave.

Seeing this, everyone knelt down and retreated. They left the main hall in twos and threes and walked out.

"Yue Tuo!"

Yue Tuo had just finished instructing Dai Shan about the food and grass matters. He had just taken a few steps when he heard a voice behind him calling him.He looked around and found that it was Huang Taiji, and stopped immediately.

"uncle!"

Huang Taiji's face was haggard, and he had long lost the high-spirited look he had the day before.It seems that this defeat had a severe impact on him.

"Let's go, I have something to tell you."

Yue Tuo nodded upon seeing this, and then followed Huang Taiji, walking forward slowly.

"Father Khan's approach will not help the situation. The Liao people's tenant farmers were robbed last year, so how much food rations are left? This approach just allows the banner people to vent their anger."

Yue Tuan and Huang Taiji had the same attitude towards this matter. Now seeing what he said, he sighed slightly:
"What my uncle said is that this is not to pay food but to vent anger. With these Liao people taking the blame, many things will go away, and the banner people will not care about anything, and they can concentrate on dealing with Xiong Tingbi."

Huang Taiji nodded slightly when he heard this. All of this had only one purpose, and that was to prepare for the future Ming army's attack.

After returning from Liaodong, he told everything he had experienced.Including the strength of the Ming army's Beijing camp and the betrayal of Oba Haitaiji.

Although Nurhachi was furious after hearing the news, he quickly recognized the reality.

He did not blame Huang Taiji, but let him continue to govern. At the same time, he personally wrote letters to Horqin and the Bahrain Ministry, only explaining the brutality and ferocity of the army, and did not mention at all the fact that Ao Guanhai and others privately withdrew the army and led to the defeat.

Huang Taiji was extremely aggrieved by this matter, but now that "Dajin" was in a critical situation, he could still comfort and appease Horqin and the Bahrain Department, not to the point of breaking out.

Since the Ming army sent the Beijing camp over, their intention was obvious, which was to fight them to the death. There was no possibility of peace between the two.

Both Huang Taiji and Nurhachi knew this. Since they were going to die and lose everything, it would be better to put them to death and live in the future.

Seeing the situation like this, even if Huang Taiji disagreed with the decision to massacre the Liao people, he had to accept it.

"I'm not looking for you today because of this matter, but I hope you will continue to pay attention to Zhang Anning next to you. This time I went to Liaodong. Although I encountered the Ming army's Beijing camp and returned defeated, I guess this matter has not been leaked. .

As for the partial division of the Ming Army's Beijing Camp that I met, I just happened to pass by that place and happened to be bumped into by me, so that Zhang Anning was probably a spy of the Ming Dynasty. "

Listening to Huang Taiji's words, Yue Tuo showed some confusion and impatience on his face.

If Huang Taiji was telling him this when he sent troops, I hesitated a little and chose to believe what he said.He deliberately blocked information about Zhang Anning and specially monitored him, just to see if he had any unusual behavior and whether he was really a spy.

But after Huang Taiji's defeat, he no longer believed it.

The court of the Ming Dynasty was obviously aware of their actions. Otherwise, how could there be an army waiting there? What a coincidence. Could it be that God was blessing the Ming Dynasty?

Therefore, after hearing Huang Taiji continue to mention this matter, Yue Tuan became a little impatient, but he was his uncle after all, and he could not be too harsh, so he could only say slowly:

"I will arrange this myself, uncle, please don't worry."
