Chapter 696 Destruction (Part 2)(2/2)

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty learned from the painful experience and not only provided tax exemptions to the people in the western Liaoning Corridor, but also continuously extracted supplies from other provinces to the military and civilians in eastern Liaoning.

However, this policy caused the precipitation line to move southward and the grain production was greatly reduced. The people in Shaanxi and Gansu areas were even worse, and a peasant uprising led by Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, broke out.

In the past few years, the frequency of assassinations and poisonings among the Han people in the Liaodong Peninsula under Nurhachi's rule was as common as daily occurrences.

Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town in southern Liaoning was established relying on supplies from the Ming Dynasty and North Korea. Post-Jin Han officials in Fuzhou and other places rebelled one after another and joined Mao Wenlong's territory, making Nurhaci feel haggard.

In ancient times, food was the most important. In order to obtain food and materials, he began to rob Mongolian tribes and the Liaoxi Corridor of the Ming Dynasty, but it was very unsatisfactory.

The soldiers and civilians stationed in Ningyuan worked together to defeat the Hou Jin army, because they knew that the purpose of the Hou Jin Dynasty during this period was to plunder. After the siege, they would leave food but no people behind. They had no choice but to fight to the death to resist the enemy and had no choice but to surrender!

After Nurhaci established power, he brutally massacred and enslaved the Han people, and also increased taxes and increased the pressure on ordinary people's lives.

After Nurhachi conquered Shenyang and Liaoyang, he established a stable political power.

As a result, Nurhachi's true nature was exposed, and he openly robbed ordinary people of their money on the streets, and even went to ordinary people's homes to pocket all valuable items.

Nurhachi had a policy towards the Han people, which was "kill those who resist the enemy, and do not kill those who do not fight with the enemy".

The general meaning of this policy is that Nurhachi will kill the Han who resolutely resist and reject Nurhaci, but Nurhaci will not kill the Han who surrender.

But in the later period, Nurhaci also regulated the hairstyles of Han people. Anyone who saw that they did not cut their hair according to their regulations would be brutally killed.

They even asked many people to serve as soldiers. If there were five people in the family, Nurhaci required three people to join the army. If there were only three people in the family, then two people had to join the army.

Nurhaci's behavior strongly aroused dissatisfaction among the Han people, so the Ming Dynasty generals and the Han people formed an army to attack Nurhaci.

Although certain results were achieved and some of Nurhachi's subordinates were eliminated, this incident aroused Nurhachi's strong revenge.

Nurhachi first attacked Zhenjiang with heavy troops and massacred the Han people in Zhenjiang crazily. Secondly, he enslaved all the surviving Han people in Zhenjiang.

Nurhachi made the remaining Han people kneel on the arrows, and then they used the Han people as targets to practice archery. If an arrow failed to kill them, they pulled the arrows out of their bodies and let the kneeling soldiers die...
