Chapter 24 Chapter 20 Determination
Nurhachi asked his younger brothers: "At present, how strong is our Jianzhou Zuowei?"
As soon as these words were said, no one dared to speak out. After a while, Shuerhaqi murmured, "Since my grandfather and father were killed by the Ming army by mistake..."
With a "slap", Nurhachi slapped the little table next to him, interrupting Shuerhaqi's words, but unexpectedly, he hit the small table with too much force, and he yelled angrily, "What manslaughter?" ——clearly murder!"
"Yes, murder..." Shuerhaqi glanced at him carefully, and then continued: "Since grandfather and father were murdered, left guards in Jianzhou have been divided into two types. Far away, I'm afraid of getting bad luck; one is still loyal; it's just that there are more people in the first type, and fewer people in the second type..."
Nurhachi was silent at first, and asked after a while: "So, how many troops are available?"
Shuerhaqi said in a low voice: "There are very few—I'm afraid, there are only—dozens of people left!"
"Dozens of people—hmph, even if I'm the only one left, it won't change my desire to avenge my grandfather and father!"
Nurhachi said firmly, clenched his fists tightly with both hands.
Murhazi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said to Nurhachi: "Father also left behind thirteen sets of armor..."
As he spoke, he immediately took out the thirteen sets of armor and handed them over to Nurhachi.
The armor was originally a tool on the battlefield, and there were still spots of old and new bloodstains that could not be wiped off; Nurhachi spread out the thirteen armors one by one, and stared at them for a long time; On armor, he could feel, even, he felt that his father's soul lived in armor...
"I will use it on the battlefield just like you - invincible - to avenge you..."
He murmured to A, and after finishing speaking, he immediately changed his expression, and said to his younger brothers and E Yi in a deep voice: "Come on! Let's assign work first!"
He sat down in the middle, and the rest of the people sat around him, so he began to distribute calmly: "Tomorrow, I will go to the Liaodong governor's yamen to find the officials of the Ming Dynasty. At least I have to return the remains of my grandfather and father to bury them." ——Murhazi stays at home and has to complete several tasks. The first one is to make Eyi familiar with the environment here. The second one is to carefully inspect every place in the house and make plans in advance if the enemy attacks. , which parts are relatively weak, try to strengthen them; Shuerhaqi and Yaerhaqi will visit our hall and clansmen separately, tell me the determination of revenge, and try to get their help! One more person counts as one !"
"yes."
After the three brothers accepted the task, they responded in unison; however, before the lingering sound disappeared completely, Shuerhaqi's brows began to frown slightly, and his eyes were slightly uncertain.
Nurhachi saw it and immediately asked him, "Shuerhaqi, do you have something to say?"
Shuerhaqi was hesitant to speak and then stopped for a while, but he still honestly expressed the worries in his heart: "Brother, you know that the people in the third room always dislike us in the fourth room, and they always feel that the grandfather has robbed the uncles. their hereditary position or something; they have already started to unite some clansmen to stand on their side - this time, after such a big misfortune, they didn't even send anyone to express their condolences; although everyone is the descendant of great-grandfather However, it is difficult to say how many people are willing to contribute—not to mention, Li Chengliang's military strength is so strong, hundreds of times greater than that of the Jianzhou Zuowei. To seek revenge on Li Chengliang's 800,000 troops, I'm afraid others will be scared away..."
Before he finished speaking, Nurhachi had already made a gesture to stop him from continuing; then, he said to Shuerhaqi: "I understand what you mean-but your concern is because you don't know the purpose of my revenge." The overall plan; everyone, listen carefully, this is the plan I have planned after careful consideration. It is divided into three stages. In the first stage, we must be patient and not turn against the Ming Dynasty, because our strength is too weak. If you are not an opponent of the Ming Dynasty, you cannot make unnecessary sacrifices; we can only seek revenge from Nikanwailan in Tulun City..."
Hearing what he said, Shuerhaqi's mood eased; and E Yidu who was at the side suddenly broke in and said: "Please help my cousin!" E Yidu said loudly: "He and Like me, from the moment I met you, I decided to follow you to do a big business—if he knows that you need manpower now, he will definitely come here immediately!"
One sentence reminded Nurhachi: "Yes! I still have some friends who can help!" So he thought carefully: "Zhan Asai's Changshu and Yangshu have always been able to talk with me, and they have a sense of justice— —Although Nomina of Saerhu City is rather cunning, his older brother Guala has old grudges with Nikanwailan, so he might agree to fight Nikanwailan together..."
Thinking of this, he immediately wrote letters to Nomina, the city lord of Sarhu in Sukesuhu River, Changshu and Yangshu, the masters of Zhan'azhai, and Ha Sihu respectively; He explained the reason why his grandfather and father were killed, and his determination to find Nikan Wailan for revenge, so he asked for their help.
After writing the letter, he sent Er Yidu's apprentice to deliver the letter, and he discussed the revenge plan with his younger brothers and Er Yidu.
This discussion went on for a long time, until it got dark and Ni Chuhe came to invite everyone to dinner, and then stopped temporarily; after the meal, the discussion continued. Every possible situation was not neglected, and after repeated deliberation and detailed research, several people talked about it late at night before going to bed.
The next day, Nurhachi set off to Liaoyang, the provincial capital of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, as planned, to find Zhou Yong, the governor of Liaodong, for a theory.
Of course Zhou Yong didn't meet him - on the pretext that he was dealing with important matters, and sent a junior official Zhang Huawen to meet him on his behalf.
Zhang Huawen was born as a Jinshi, and he was promoted according to the normal channels of civil servants; this man has read a lot of Four Books and Five Classics, and he has a bit of literary skills in writing stereotyped essays, but he is not very familiar with Jurchen issues, so he was sent to Liaodong to serve However, he had no choice but to take up the post with a "bite the bullet" mood; this time he was ordered by the governor to meet Nurhachi, and because he had never met him before, he had to "bite the bullet" to deal with it.
Fortunately, Nurhaci has lived in the circle of Han people for a long time, and he can speak Chinese fluently, and it is not difficult to communicate with Zhang Hua's cultural structure.
Nurhaci first explained to him why he came here: "My grandfather was the commander of the left guard in Jianzhou, and he was an official of the Ming court. He had always served loyally, but he was killed in Gule City for no reason, and died unjustly along with my father; This is a mortal enmity, and I want to seek justice!"
After speaking, he was filled with grief and caution, and he gritted his teeth unconsciously; Zhang Huawen, who hadn't fully figured out the reason, was frightened by his aura, but he couldn't deal with it, so he could only comfort him with nice words Said: "I will report this matter to the governor immediately, and I will give you justice..." Zhang Huawen said repeatedly: "Please go back first, I will deal with this matter as soon as possible, and give you an answer as soon as possible!"
His attitude was not bad, and Nurhachi was quite satisfied with his reaction, so he stopped the stalemate and agreed to go back to Jianzhou Zuowei to wait for news.
As soon as he returned to Jianzhou Zuowei, he heard something that made him very happy when he entered the door: "Wan Bulu brought his son An Feiyanggu to see you, and when he heard that you needed help, he left An Feiyang. Feyangu is here to follow you!" Murhazi told him.
"Ah, that's great!" Nurhachi said happily, "Anfei Yanggu is a loyal man, and his martial arts skills are very good. He will be a good helper!"
He knew very well about Anfei Yanggu——Anfei Yanggu's father, Wan Bulu, was the most loyal to the left guard in Jianzhou. He was famous for his outstanding martial arts since he was a teenager.
"Where are people now? Please come and see me!"
"He and Eyi are both test-firing in the open space behind the house - I'll get them right away!"
As Murhazi said, he immediately went to the back of the house to look for someone, and after a short while, three people came in together; Murhazi was in front, and Eyidu and Anfei Yanggu walked side by side in the back, forming an interesting scene. Although the two are about the same height, their faces are very different, their foreheads are also square and big ears, coupled with a loud voice and bold personality, they can speak a few words with joy, A face with thick eyebrows and big eyes is full of movement; An Fei Yanggu has a thin and long face, with sharp and restrained eyes, and almost no expression on his taciturn face; when the two walked in together, their foreheads were still eloquent , An Feiyanggu is very focused on listening, which happens to be a contrast between movement and stillness.
As soon as Nurhachi saw the two entering side by side, he immediately let out a hearty laugh. He stepped forward, hugged Anfei Yanggu, and then put his arm around Eyidu's shoulder, Holding An Feiyanggu's arm in one hand, he said with a big laugh: "Liu Bei of the Three Kingdoms has five tiger generals—I already have two tiger generals. Why are the enemies with thousands of horses and horses?"
