Chapter 36 Chapter 36: The Eve of the Battle

The miraculous efficacy of Fushou Ointment took root in the life of Emperor Wanli, and provided him with many wonderful feelings, which made him immersed in the illusion of joy, comfort, and "happy as a fairy" all day long, enjoying the "everything is smooth". The worry-free and the joy of "do whatever you want". In comparison, the happiness obtained by Concubine Zheng Guifei, who was with him all day and all night, had more elements than him—her happiness was not as purely enjoyed by Emperor Wanli, but captured with blessings. After living in the body and mind of Emperor Wanli, seeing Emperor Wanli just swallowing clouds and mist in front of her eyes every day, she felt a kind of victory and satisfaction that completely occupied Emperor Wanli in her heart. The throne of the crown prince has more confidence and certainty, so the happiness she has is multifaceted...

When the new year came, Chang Xun was seven years old, and her daughter was five years old, who was canonized as Princess Shouning; , Seeing everyone loves him, especially the treasure of Emperor Wanli's heart, he will miss and suspense for a long time, and he has to have a smile on his face when the nurses bring their children to see him; for his "fatherly love" ", she was very satisfied with her performance—the children born to the eldest son of the emperor, Chang Luo, who rarely met several times a year, and other women in the palace. The son and daughter she gave birth to were obviously It is the paternal love that has monopolized Emperor Wanli!

Then, she found that she was pregnant again. This time, the feeling of victory was stronger and made her happier—she felt that she had once again defeated other women in the palace, because the concubines and court ladies that Emperor Wanli was lucky to have lived There are many princes and princesses who have given birth to several princes and princesses. However, apart from her, the Wanli Emperor, who loves the new and hates the old, has never made other women pregnant more than twice! Caressing her slightly protruding belly, she smiled triumphantly, her smile was more beautiful and coquettish than usual...

In Jianzhou Zuowei, the Mongolian sister also found out that she was pregnant; however, the good news came just before the decisive battle between her mother's family and her husband's family, and her heart was shrouded in dark clouds. Tell Nurhachi the good news until her physical symptoms become obvious, which arouses Nurhachi's active discovery. Although he is already the father of six sons and three daughters, he still has a feeling of excitement and joy in his heart for the little life he is about to add; especially, the object of pregnancy is the Mongolian sister. It was very strange, so he also told the Mongolian sister a few more words: "Eat more, sleep more, and don't think about anything in your heart, so that the child will grow up well!"

Of course, after all, he knew in his heart that at the moment when the battle between him and Nalinbulu was about to start, it was impossible for Mongol sister to think about nothing, and he couldn't spare much time Come to accompany her to relieve the melancholy and helplessness in her heart; so, after a little thought, he decided to entrust the Mongolian sister to Zhaqing's care... "Za is young and mature, and she is a safe person. I can rest assured that I will leave it to her!" After making the decision, he found Zhaqing, and said a few words in private: "When she thinks of Yehebu and Nalinbulu, she will inevitably feel worried; you need to enlighten her more, and persuade her to take the child in her belly as the first priority." Heavy, relax your mind!"

Za Qing was very confident, and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, once a woman becomes a mother, nothing matters as big as her own children!" Seeing that she was full of confidence, Nurhachi stopped talking, and put all his energy into expanding the fighting ability of the Jianzhou left guard; every day, he personally trained the soldiers, giving them strict training in physical fitness and combat skills. , It also urged all the people to step up production and stockpile food, and the blacksmiths with expertise stepped up to build weapons. "An extra bit of preparation means a bit more chance of winning - we must win the battle against Ye He, otherwise there will be no way out!"

He repeatedly instilled this belief in everyone with a firm tone, inspiring the courage and fighting spirit in everyone's heart, thus condensing into a huge force without fear of any difficulties and challenges. As a result, the entire Jianzhou Zuowei Center was filled with exuberant vitality and combat effectiveness, vigorous and lively... In late March, Fei Yingdong, who had gone to North Korea, returned. His return time was much later than expected, but the harvest he got was also much more than expected. First he presented a complete and detailed map of North Korea, and then he explained the current situation in North Korea to Nurhachi in detail, and explained the reason for his late return: "North Koreans who often cross the Yalu River to Liaodong, except for traders and Except for the envoys, most of them are people who can't get along in North Korea. Therefore, in the past, we misunderstood North Korea, thinking that North Koreans are poor and vulgar; in fact, they are not. Life is also very rich; the number of troops is large, and the combat power of the army is average, but the navy army is powerful. They can build their own warships and have a set of tactics for fighting water battles; it is a pity that their king is not very wise—— —During the time I was in North Korea, many knowledgeable scholars and their navy general Yi Sun-sin were clamoring loudly, saying that Japan would soon send troops to attack, and that preparations should be made early. It's a pity that the king of North Korea won't listen..."

"Is Japan going to attack North Korea?" This incident aroused Nurhachi's curiosity. He had met several Japanese wanderers who occasionally came to Liaodong. Therefore, he listened to Fei Yingdong's detailed account of the whole story with great interest: "Since Japan came out of Oda letter After growing up this capable man, he defeated the separatist princes all over the country and concentrated all the power in his hands; a few years ago, a general named Akechi Mitsuhide rebelled and killed Oda Nobunaga in Honnoji Temple; Toyotomi Hideyoshi came out to avenge Oda Nobunaga, killed Akechi Mitsuhide to settle the chaos, and inherited the power of Oda Nobunaga. The emperor of Japan also named him "Kanbai", whether the emperor of Japan The thing is, 'Guanbai' has a high status and great power, and he is in charge of everything - this time, Toyotomi Hideyoshi decided to attack North Korea; How long will it take for the Japanese army to overwhelm the border!"

After hearing these words, Nurhachi had a strange feeling in his heart: "The army is overwhelming? A war is about to start?" He said a few words to himself, and suddenly, he jumped up from his seat, with a strange and bright light in his eyes, and said to Fei Yingdong: "Let me think about this matter carefully." Think about it—it happened in our neighboring country, maybe it will affect us—maybe, we can take advantage of their war and gain something..." Fei Yingdong added: "I heard a civil official in North Korea say that North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. If Japan really wants to attack the door, their first thing is to ask the Ming Dynasty for help; he said that the Ming Dynasty will not abandon it. If the vassal state ignores it, it will definitely protect North Korea!"

Nurhachi's eyes became brighter when he heard this: "Then, we have to think about it carefully; no matter what, the war between Japan and North Korea is a big event, and there will always be some opportunities to seize!"
