"I don't agree with the formation of the Han Eight Banners!" Huang Taiji's eldest son Hauge also stood up and shouted loudly.

"I don't agree with the Great Khan's establishment of the Han Eight Banners!" Many later Jin officials also shouted in unison.

Only a few Han officials headed by Fan Wencheng stood there alone.

At this moment, an untimely voice sounded, and Tong Yangxing stood up, cupped his hands at Huang Taiji, and said in a loud voice: "The servant supports the Great Khan in establishing the Eight Banners of Han!"

Tong Yangxing was originally a businessman from Fushun, and his family had close contact with Nurhachi, the Jurchen chief of Jianzhou. One daughter in the family was married to Nurhachi as his wife.

As early as before Nurhachi was established, Tong Yangxing tried to join him, but was discovered by Ming Dynasty officials and sent him to prison. In order to control Nurhachi, Guo Guangfu, governor of Liaodong, deliberately released Tong Yangxing and let him go to Jianzhou Jurchen to act as a spy.

After Li Rusong's death, Nurhachi announced the Seven Great Hate against the Ming Dynasty, and established Houjin in the same year.In the third year of Tianming, he raised troops to attack the Ming Dynasty and occupied Fushun.

At this time, Tong Yangxing was not only not a spy serving the Ming Dynasty, but was loyal to Nurhachi, and led his cousin Tong Yangzhen and the whole family to surrender to Houjin.

But Nurhachi was very weak at the time. In order to tie Tong Yangxing to himself, he married his granddaughter (Abai's daughter) to Tong Yangxing, and named him "Shi Wuli's forehead son-in-law" and awarded him a third-class male.

Some people said that Tong Yangxing was a Jurchen in history, while others said he was a Han Chinese.But who it is, there is no accurate conclusion.

Everyone's face darkened, and they followed the voice, only to see that it was Tong Yangxing, all of them staring wide-eyed, but they didn't yell or curse.

In terms of seniority, this Tong Yangxing is of the same generation as Nurhachi, and these people in the hall are either Nurhachi's son or Nurhachi's grandson.

Fan Wencheng also stood up hastily, and said slowly: "The servant also supports the Great Khan in establishing the Eight Banners of Han!"

"Fan Wencheng, you are a barbarian, do you have a share in your speech?" Hauge didn't dare to scold Tong Yangxing, so wouldn't he dare to scold Fan Wencheng?

"Yes, yes, you lowly Nikan, do you have a place to speak here?"

"Just a slave, what do you want to do?"

All of a sudden, countless people pointed at Fan Wencheng and cursed angrily.

Huang Taiji looked at the big hall that was full of porridge, and directly shouted angrily: "Enough, let's discuss this matter again!"

Huang Taiji stood up directly from the dragon chair, flicked his sleeves, and left angrily.

Chapter 159

A few days later, with Huang Taiji's strong insistence, the Han Eight Banners were finally formed.

After the ambitious Huang Taiji formed the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty, he once again set his sights on the capital in Shanhaiguan.

Zhao Wen stayed on Phi Island and ran to the seaport almost every day. Seeing the seaport being gradually built day by day, Zhao Wen was very excited.

When the firecrackers sounded, the first year of Chongzhen passed by in a hurry, and the second year of Chongzhen ushered in a burst of gunpowder.

The situation in the Ming Dynasty did not improve because of the arrival of the New Year, on the contrary, it became more corrupt.

Under Hong Chengchou's pressing step by step, the rogues fleeing around Shaanxi gradually gathered together, forming a huge force.Use this to fight against the imperial soldiers and horses.

Seeing this growing force, Hong Chengchou also had a headache.

To be honest, Hong Chengchou, the rogue at this time, didn't pay attention at all.

If you go head-to-head with the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers can wipe out the thieves in minutes.

It's a pity that this group of thieves doesn't go head-to-head with officers and soldiers at all.

Whenever the officers and soldiers attacked, the bandits would flee with their lives.After the officers and soldiers retreat, the bandits will come back again.

However, most of the soldiers and horses in Shaanxi are infantry, so it is not easy to hunt down thieves.

As a result, the officers and soldiers started a tug-of-war with the thieves on the land of Sanqin.

Chongzhen was an impatient emperor, and he was dissatisfied with Hong Chengchou's inability to kill all the thieves.

At this time, a book handed over by Yang He, the governor of the three sides, caught Chongzhen's attention.

Yang He, Hu Guang, a native of Changde, was a Jinshi in the last years of Wanli, a censor in Lidu, and a governor of the three sides of Shaanxi.This person has always had a good reputation, but he is a minister who handles practical things.

Although Hong Chengchou was in charge of suppressing bandits, Hong Chengchou was controlled by Yang He.

Yang Sichang, who later used the strategies of "four positives and six corners" and "ten-sided net" to suppress the peasant uprising army, was his son.

The note Yang He sent up was a memorial to Zhao An.

In the memorial, Yang He said that the main reason why Liu Bandits developed was because the land in Sanqin was dry and there was no rain, which made the people suffer from hunger and cold, so it was a last resort.

As long as the food problem of these thieves is solved, the matter of thieves can be dealt with with twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, Yang He proposed the strategy of "mainly recruiting, supplemented by pursuit and suppression".

As soon as this memorial was delivered, it attracted Chongzhen's attention.

Chongzhen has always claimed to be a holy king, but he is a figure like Yao and Shun.So he was very interested in Yang He's method. If they could really be recruited, it would not only save the court a lot of money and food, but also make Chongzhen more popular among the people.

This matter kills two birds with one stone, why not do it?

Therefore, Chongzhen made a decision and implemented Yang He's method.

Thanks to Yang He's efforts, the recruiting policy has achieved some success, and almost all the thieves from various ministries in Shaanxi accepted the recruiting policy.

But so many people have been recruited, so they must be fed.

Therefore, Chongzhen took out [-] yuan in gold, plus silver and food donated by various vassal princes in Shaanxi.

Originally, the money and food from the imperial court plus the money and food donated by the Shaanxi vassals were completely enough to accommodate these thieves.

However, the quality of civil servants in the late Ming Dynasty was really disgusting. When these silver grains passed through the hands of local officials in Shaanxi, they were exploited layer by layer and intercepted layer by layer.

When some of the thieves began to starve to death, the long-suffering thieves finally broke out.

Under the instigation of Shen Yikui, the thief rebelled again.

Because these thieves had already been recruited, all the soldiers and horses of the imperial court returned to the station.

Due to the lack of timely suppression by officers and soldiers, the rebellion was unprecedented.

For a moment, the entire land of Sanqin was once again in flames of war, and the situation deteriorated almost instantly and could not be cleaned up.

But Yang He, who proposed to recruit security, was dismissed directly by the furious Chongzhen and investigated, locked up and sent to Beijing, and finally died unjustly in Zhao Prison of Jinyiwei.

And his position was also inherited by Hong Chengchou, and he was fully responsible for the suppression of bandits.

If Yang He's method can be thoroughly implemented by those officials in Shaanxi, then it is only a matter of time before the bandits are eliminated.

Unfortunately, history has no ifs.The literati in the late Ming Dynasty were the most morally corrupt era in history.

Time flies by, and when March is about to pass, the outlet of Phi Island has finally been successfully built.

Looking at the cement-covered seaport, Zhao Wen felt indescribably excited.

Now that there is an outlet to the sea, the most urgent task is to find sea ships and sailors to go to sea.

Zhao Wen finally set foot on the journey back to Longmen Fort after delaying in Phi Island for such a long time.

After wandering on the road for half a month, Zhao Wen finally returned to Longmen Fort.

Today's Longmen Fort has changed a lot. When Zhao Wen just returned to Longmen Fort, he was still a little uncomfortable.

The Longmen Fort built by Zhao Wen had already turned into an inner city. Because of the gathering of refugees outside Longmen Fort, Liu Wenzhong arranged for people to connect all the scattered buildings together, and finally built a circle of city walls.

Even if compared with Xuanfu Town, the current Longmen Fort is not bad.

One day, Zhao Wen had just had breakfast and was in the study looking at the documents he had left for the past few months when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Zhao Wen shouted softly without raising his eyelids.

After receiving Zhao Wen's reply, Liu Wenzhong opened the door and walked in.

Zhao Wen put down the document in his hand, looked at Liu Wenzhong, "What's the matter?"

Liu Wenzhong said with a sullen face, worried: "My lord, Horqin is here."

"Have people come from Horqin? What are they here for? Is it a matter of building a city? But isn't the Horqin city under construction, and it is estimated that it will be completed by the end of this year." Zhao Wen asked with a look of doubt.

Not long after Zhao Wen left, Liu Wenzhong sent people to build a city for Horqin.

Moreover, the city of Horqin is not too far from Longmen Fort, and it only takes one day and one night to ride a fast horse.

Liu Wenzhong frowned, and said slowly: "It's not about building the city, but about Liaodong."

After speaking, Liu Wenzhong took out a piece of kraft paper from his sleeve and put it on the table.

Zhao Wen picked up the kraft paper and looked at it carefully.

After a while, Zhao Wen put the kraft paper back on the table and asked solemnly, "How credible is this matter?"

"I think nine out of ten!"

Zhao Wencong stood up on the chair, and said with a heavy face: "If this is really the case, then this matter will not be easy to handle."

This piece of kraft paper was sent by people from Horqin. According to the paper, since the beginning of spring, Horqin herdsmen often encounter people pretending to be herdsmen wandering around Xifengkou when they are grazing.

At first they thought that these people were going to the Horqin tribe, but as time passed, they discovered that these people were not targeting the Horqin tribe.

These people seldom went to Horqin's ranch to harass them, and they basically wandered around the entrance of Xifeng.

From time to time, there are people who can write and count, writing and drawing at Xifeng's mouth.

Sometimes, they would send a small group of people to test the defenders at Xifengkou.

At the beginning, they didn't know the origins of these people, but as time passed, they gradually discovered suspicions.

Although these people are well disguised, the money rat tails they reveal when they take off their hats are not deceiving.

"This must be Jiannu, what are they going to do at the entrance of Xifeng?" Liu Wenzhong frowned and said with certainty.

"What else can I do? Needless to say? It must be Jiannu who wants to break through the Xifeng Pass and attack the capital!"

Zhao Wen slapped the table directly, saying with great certainty.

After Zhao Wen saw this piece of kraft paper, he instantly remembered the historical incident of Huang Taiji's detour to Xifengkou.

Historically, in October of the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji broke through the pass from Xifeng Pass and plundered the land of Gyeonggi.

Although it is now April, this does not prevent Huang Taiji from sending troops to investigate at Xifengkou.

"My lord, is what you said true? Is this Huang Taiji really going to break through the entrance of Xifeng?" Although Liu Wenzhong also felt that this was unusual, he did not expect that Huang Taiji would enter Xifeng. The mouth breaks through and enters directly.

You must know that Xifengkou is not close to Liaodong. If the Ming army finds out along the way, wouldn’t the strategy of detouring Xifengkou be useless?

Liu Wenzhong did not expect that Huang Taiji would detour through Xifengkou, and the people in the court also did not expect that Huang Taiji would detour through Xifengkou.

Zhao Wen sneered and said, "I'm sure that Huang Taiji came up with the idea of ​​fighting. If you think about it, if Huang Taiji wants to break through from Shanhaiguan Pass, the difficulty can be imagined.

Not to mention Shanhaiguan, even a small Ningyuan City they can't take down. "

"Then what should we do? Should we notify the court in time?" Liu Wenzhong said.

Zhao Wendao: "Notify the court? Will anyone believe it when we inform the court? Now that Shaanxi and other places are still corrupt, do you think the court will believe this at this time? The court doesn't want to hear such news at all.

Besides, just because of our identities, we can't hand over this booklet.So, wait and see.

By the way, you should quickly notify Horqin and let them spread out all the scouts, and be sure to monitor Jiannu's every move.At the same time, we must also be prepared. "

Liu Wenzhong nodded heavily, and then walked out.

Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wenzhong who was leaving, and hurried out of the study.

"Little San, go and inform Song Hu and the others that they must arrive at the Garrison Mansion within a quarter of an hour." Zhao Wen looked at Li Xiaosan standing outside the door and said anxiously.

A quarter of an hour later, the hall of the garrison mansion was full of people.

Zhao Wen looked at Zhao Daniu and others sitting in the hall, and said in a deep voice, "How many soldiers and horses are there in our Longmen Fort now?"

"My lord, since you left, we have recruited more than 400 soldiers. Now we have a total of about 1000 soldiers in Longmen Fort. Among them, 56 and a half soldiers are about 300 except for the personal guard battalion." Song Hu stood up and said in a deep voice.

"1000 people, 1000 people are far from enough." Zhao Wenchang sighed, and then said: "The order will be passed on, starting from today, full-scale conscription. I require each of you to have at least a thousand elite soldiers under your command. The 56 and a half soldiers must have at least three hundred.

There is also the personal guard battalion, which must be kept at about 56 soldiers, of which [-] and a half should not be less than [-]. "

As soon as Zhao Wen finished speaking, everyone became excited.

These people in the hall have long wanted to fight violently, but it is a pity that they have not received Zhao Wen's order.Now that the order is down, why aren't they excited?

The keen Song Hu heard something unusual in Zhao Wen's voice. He stood up and looked at Zhao Wen, "My lord, is there going to be a war?"

"Yeah, there's going to be a war. And it's going to be a big one. That's all I can say. Don't ask me about the rest. In a word, all-out violence!" Zhao Wen stood up from his chair. Got up, looked at everyone in the hall, and said in a deep voice.

"As ordered!"
