Chapter 31 Chapter Thirty-One
"Lichun" always comes before New Year's Eve, but a new opportunity, new outlook, and new harvest arrive in Liaodong earlier than the day of Lichun.
Nurhachi quickly received the return of sending Buzhantai back to the Ula tribe—as expected, he released Buzhantai and made him the head of the Ula tribe, and what he got was the heart of the entire Ula tribe— Bu Zhantai first waited for the affairs of the Ula tribe to settle down, and immediately took the initiative to send envoys to Jianzhou, and agreed with Nurhachi to personally send his sister to marry Shuerhaqi in mid-December.
This is of course a "great joy" event - Nurhachi was even happier than the groom Shuerhaqi, so, especially for this matter, he worshiped heaven and earth and held a banquet to celebrate before the wedding; During the worship ceremony, I silently prayed to the heavens, and I hope that the three tribes of Yehe, Hada, and Huifa will be attached as smoothly and satisfactorily as the Ula tribe——
Unexpectedly, on the day of Shuerhaqi's wedding, a piece of news beyond the scope of the "Hulun Four Divisions" reached his ears, that is, the Japanese troops occupying various places in North Korea launched an attack again. And this news once again strongly attracted his attention.
The main reason for the resurgence of this war is not the problem between Japan and North Korea, but the Ming Dynasty’s ignorance and arrogance of Japan, and the misuse of Shen Weijing, a swindler with no real talent and learning——
After Shen Weijing was promoted to be the deputy envoy of the "East Seal", Yang Fangheng, the envoy, arrived in Japan with the Korean envoys at the end of August; on the third day of September, the Ming Dynasty held a grand ceremony for conferring Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
This was originally a significant ceremony, and Japan took the preparations very seriously, and the scene was set up in a very grand scale; but unexpectedly, in the middle of the ceremony, Toyotomi Hideyoshi became furious and tore down the paper that was being read out. The book of the Ming Dynasty, and the powdered crown robes of the Ming Dynasty that were already on his upper body were removed by himself and thrown on the ground; his thin but majestic face was already flushed with anger, and the two sharp eyes made him feel ashamed. People did not dare to stare at them; standing on a high platform, he pointed at the envoys on both sides with one hand, sneered and scolded: "I have mastered Japan, and I have done it a long time ago if I want to be a 'king'. Are you going to make me the 'King of Japan'? What's more, Japan already has an 'Emperor', so it's not up to you two defeated countries to make me the 'King of Japan'!"
After cursing, he immediately left the ongoing ceremony and the frightened envoys from both sides, and left without looking back.
Not long after, President Konishi, who facilitated the peace talks, was called in and scolded; that night, Kato Kiyomasa was called in and then came out to transmit. Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered the expulsion of the envoys from China and North Korea, and clearly declared : "I will fight again in Tuer Country!"
It took several days for Yang Fangpump, who was expelled from the country and arrived in North Korea in a state of embarrassment, to understand the reason for Toyotomi Hideyoshi's fury. , In terms of writing, he tried his best to expand himself, and also belittled the ability of the other country; when he read it, he said to Toyotomi Hideyoshi one by one: "You, a boy who has risen to the sea, still know how to respect China. Send envoys here to plead with you, I, Ming Dynasty, think that you are so obedient, so I will make you the 'King of Japan'!"
After a sudden realization, Yang Fangpump painfully discovered that the mistakes in the matter actually started after Shi Xing reused Shen Weijing—Shen Weijing was not a "Japanese expert" at all, but only because he knew a few words of Japanese to bluff Shi Xing Moreover, because Shi Xing himself knew nothing about Japan, he believed what Shen Weijing said. Shen Weijing boasted that he could facilitate the peace talks, so he tried his best to advocate peace talks with Japan in front of Emperor Wanli, and even the East and West. Feng——Actually, the facts are already in front of our eyes. Toyotomi Hideyoshi is an arrogant and independent husband, with great ambitions, and he is already the actual "King of Japan". How can he accept such a "fame"?
Shen Weijing played some tricks in the communication between the two parties, and he could know eight or nine points just by guessing; therefore, he stomped his feet angrily and scolded: "The idiot made a mistake—the idiot made a mistake—"
However, having been an official for many years, like most other officials in this dynasty, he maintains a habit of dealing with political affairs, that is, when encountering a situation, the first thought that pops up in his mind is not It was not how to face and solve the problem, but how to explain it to the emperor; therefore, after scolding enough people and getting angry enough, he immediately thought hard: "How should this matter be reported to the court?"
He wanted to play back the facts, but he thought that he represented the majestic Ming Dynasty, and when he came to Japan, he ended up in such a disgraceful end. If he let Chaoli know, he would lose face and become a target for political opponents; what's more, In July, the Empress Dowager Rensheng passed away, and the state-owned funeral, the Emperor Wanli was in a bad mood. Let him know the fact of "losing face in Japan", wouldn't it add fuel to the flames?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help being afraid: "Ten years of hard work, only one of the two ranks was born as a Jinshi - it took a lot of hard work to be an official for thousands of miles, I can't let Long Live take off his black hat in a fit of anger -"
Therefore, what was written in the memorandum could not be "accurate"; he considered for a long time, and finally considered Shen Weijing's opinion, and wrote a paper full of lies, saying that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had been granted the title only because he was dissatisfied with the King of Korea. The "humble official" got angry when he congratulated him, and there was no thank you for a while - concealment and blame, these two principles of handling affairs that officials of the dynasty are used to.
The memorial was sent to Beijing as quickly as possible, and Emperor Wanli believed the lies; but, he could deceive Emperor Wanli, but he couldn't affect Toyotomi Hideyoshi—the enraged Toyotomi Hideyoshi really said When it was done, it was ordered to go to war.
"Currently, the Japanese army in North Korea has already started to dispatch; another news is that Toyotomi Hideyoshi will send a few more troops from Japan to attack North Korea after spring begins!"
After receiving such a report, Nurhachi listened attentively and thought carefully for a long time. In the end, his reaction was the same as before;
Send more people to find out more news.On the one hand, he once again said to himself secretly in his heart: "It's only across a river, it really can't be ignored—"
On the other hand, he also made some calculations - based on past experience, Japan's war of aggression against Korea would certainly pose a military threat to Liaodong, but it could bring economic benefits. You can get very considerable gains; this time, the three parties are fighting again, and the opportunity comes again, of course he must grasp it well!
"Just the envoys of the two countries, and the coming and going of the army, can make Jianzhou more lively--after the war has been fought for a long time, there will inevitably be deserters and fugitives who come to join--"
All these things made him feel more and more gratified. In the past few years, the development of Jianzhou has been like God's help, and it has become more and more prosperous thanks to the efforts of everyone; at present, there is only one thing left for him to complete. If he wanted to pray to the heavens and pray for an early completion, that would be the unification of the Jurchen—he hoped that it could be completed as soon as possible.
"You have to deal with the four tribes of Hu Lun first, and then map the savage Jurchen before you can enter the entire Liaodong—"
He has been thinking about this step for many years, and now, his steps are getting closer step by step-in the first month of the Chinese New Year just after New Year's Day, he got a good news like "joy from heaven"; With the efforts of running around, the three departments of Yehe, Hada, and Huifa coordinated a tacit and consistent action. Therefore, together with Ula, the four departments sent envoys to Jianzhou to meet him, and conveyed that the four departments of Baylor were willing to cooperate with Jianzhou. The will to repair the state, and attached a note: "Yehebu Buyangubel is willing to marry his sister to build the state—"
At the same time, Jintaishi Baylor is also willing to marry his daughter to his second son, Daishan. After hearing these words from the envoy, Nurhachi looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "My wife, Mongolian sister, is originally the sister of Jintaishi. Buyangu's cousin, Jianzhou and Yehe have long been married, and now, they are getting married--I am not the only one who is very happy about this matter, so I let the Mongolian sister know, and it will be even more I'm so happy!"
So, he immediately prepared a pommel horse armor and asked Ye He's envoy to take it back as a dowry gift. On the one hand, he also made an appointment with the four envoys on the date of the oath, and then hosted a banquet for them. The atmosphere was well controlled. The host and guest enjoyed themselves.
However, after the envoys of the Fourth Division resigned and left, he immediately fell into deep thought: "It is certainly a good thing for the Four Divisions to make an alliance and promise a marriage, but we should not take it lightly and trust their 'oath' casually—"
Experience and what he heard reminded him that the alliances and marriages between ministries are only for temporary purposes and interests, and these covenants can be broken at any time—although there are not many examples of breaking alliances, there are quite a few ; And the marriage for the sake of profit will also be "turned face and deny relatives" at any time; he himself has experienced it himself: "Ye He and Hada married their daughters to me respectively, and when they wanted to take advantage of Jianzhou At that time, didn't you unite the people and horses to build the state?"
The scene of the Battle of Gule Mountain is still in sight!
He was filled with emotions, and a thought came to him once again: "Alliance and intermarriage are just superficial articles - they can only last for a short time; Get ready, in the future, we will eventually conquer by force!"
It has been the fourteenth year since he started his army with the thirteen armors. Years of tempering have made him develop the habit of thinking deeply about everything, and he can see the key points of many problems more clearly; therefore, when dealing with In principle, the issue of Hu Lun's fourth part is not self-contradictory, but adjusted to suit the actual situation—however, he wanted to return to thinking, but unconsciously walked to the residence of the Mongolian sister. Thinking about the four parts, it wasn't until I got closer that I suddenly realized that I wanted to talk to my sister Mongolia—what would she do with the new development of the relationship between Yehe and Jianzhou? What do you think?
Unexpectedly, just a few steps away from the door, a figure rushed out of it first; wearing a fur cap, a leather jacket, and leather boots, the little boy had a square head and big ears, and was lively. Strong and strong, holding a pair of small bows and arrows in his hand - that is the seven-year-old Huang Taiji.
As soon as he saw him, Huang Taiji immediately stopped obediently, and shouted to him respectfully: "Ama!"
On the other hand, he smiled at him, showing an innocent smile. Nurhachi felt warm when he saw it. He walked over and reached out to touch his forehead and said, "Where are you going with a bow and arrow?"
Huang Taiji looked up at him and replied: "Brother Six and Brother Seven are going to take me to hunt hares!"
Nurhachi smiled, narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, bring back a few more—"
He patted him on the back and said, "Go!"
However, when he saw Huang Taiji's back running and jumping away, he saw the gods and stood on the snow without blinking; his heart was filled with many complicated feelings. The child who inherited the bloodlines of Jianzhou and Yehe was pulled up again, and he stood unconsciously for a long time. He didn't even notice that the Mongolian sister walked out of the room and walked quietly behind him. .
