Chapter 25

In 1625, this was the fifth year of the Tianqi, but in the Later Jin Dynasty it was the tenth year of Tianming. Khan Nurhaci raised his army with thirteen pairs of armor from the eleventh year of Wanli, and it has been more than forty years. In every battle of these forty years, he can be said to have defeated the strong with the weak, from the four armies of killing his father's enemy Nikanwailan to Sarhu, from the small land of Jianzhou to the current Shengjing.

Nurhaci only believed in his war horse and the knife in his hand throughout his life. With these two things, women, wealth and land are within their reach. Therefore, today's discussions seem to him so boring.

Since the capture of Chenyang, Hetulala has become a bit remote and difficult to rule in many places. According to the proposals of Han people such as Fan Wencheng and the son-in-law Li Yongfang, it was decided to move the capital to Chenyang and rename it Shengjing. Now, after more than three years of construction, Shengjing has been renovated, and the rest only needs to be moved.

But such a simple matter has been arguing for a whole morning. Nurhaci, who is already sixty-six years old, is no longer as energetic as before, and is already a little tired. Li Yongfang said: "Everyone, the move of the capital is not enough to move people. Han people, Jurchen property and land still need to be properly settled. If only people are moved away without arable land and food, these people in Liaodong will not survive in winter. At that time, I am afraid that the people will change everywhere!"

Manguertai had been impatient for a long time and shouted, "Those southern barbarians are just two-legged sheep plundered by Father Khan. If they dare to be arrogant, will my army of Eight Banners be given for free?"

Fan Wencheng laughed and said, "The Three Beile is naturally brave, but if the Han people are desperate and rebelled, who will farm and work for our Beile men? This matter needs to be discussed for a long time."

Although Manguertai disagreed with Fan Wencheng's words, he didn't want to say much. After all, this man's father Khan relied heavily on him and was not easy to offend.

Si Beile Huang Taiji said: "Mr. Fan's words make a lot of sense. Moving the capital is a big deal, and I have to be careful. According to my opinion, we can count the Han people of Niulu, who know how powerful they are. Those who move past will still distribute land to compensate for the food harvest this year. Shengjing is more prosperous than Hetuara, so it is not difficult for the Han people to tell the difference. In this way, there should be no big trouble."

In his heart, Nurhaci has always disliked himself as the Four Belords. Although Huang Taiji is accustomed to fighting, he has always liked the culture of the Han people. At the same time, he is more kind to the Han ministers who have been cast in and the Han people who have been plundered. This is an alien among the Jurchen tribe, who has always been martial.

Seeing that everyone was talking for a long time but couldn't come up with an idea, Nurhaci laughed coldly. These Han officials only knew how to speak out and could not say anything for a long time. No wonder their Eight Banners Iron Cavalry could gallop and kill the southern barbarians to flee in scattered areas.

He patted his chair armrest and signaled everyone to be quiet. Nurhaequ said: "Why do the Batulu of the Later Jin Kingdom also learn from the weakness of the Han people? I have to change their place to live and distribute land to compensate for food. Is this what you said? Are the swords in your hands and the ones under your seat?"
