Chapter 27 Chapter 23 Metamorphosis of the Armpit
For the past few days, Nurhachi was so busy that he barely had time to catch his breath.
First, there was an echo from the governor of Liaodong. Zhang Huawen personally brought back the bodies of Jue Changan and Tu Keshi. Putting on brand-new shrouds, after some modifications, the remains of the two people looked very "peaceful", without any grief, anger or gnashing of teeth. Zhang Huawen also brought thirty imperial edicts and thirty horses, as well as A letter from the governor to Nurhachi personally.
"The governor has found out that the grandfather and son were indeed killed by mistake, and I felt very guilty, so I went to the court and asked for a decree to be kind and generous, not only to restore the post of governor, but also to seal you as General Dragon and Tiger ..." Zhang Huawen said politely to Nurhachi: "Uncle Ningyuan and Li Zongbing's conquest of the two cities of Shaji and Gule had requested an imperial edict from the imperial court. Unexpectedly, during the battle, the sword and gun had no eyes, and an unfortunate accident happened. I would like to apologize to you according to the imperial decree, please accept the salute of the officer, and accept the title of General Longhu and the imperial edict of the governor!"
As he spoke, he really saluted Nurhachi with a solemn expression and a solemn attitude.
However, because Nurhachi had stayed in Li Chengliang's mansion for a long time, he was already aware of the hypocritical benevolence, hypocrisy and hypocritical "etiquette" in the officialdom of the Han people. , He heard a cold snort in his heart: "General, Dudu—two vain names, a few edicts, and thirty horses, you just want to buy me to bear the mortal hatred, let it go? Is there any wealth and fame in the world that is more precious than the life of my grandfather and father? Or, instead of me, I will kill Li Chengliang, and confer Li Rusong as his father, and add "Dragon and Tiger General" - the imperial court's will, Hmph, how could I not know that the killing of my grandfather, father, and even Wang Gao and Ah Tai was done by Li Chengliang, but the source is your Ming court's "policy of restraining barbarians", which punished the elites of our clan and made our clan Killing each other, to prevent our Jurchen people from becoming big—use the word "imperial court" to suppress me, and want me to give up seeking revenge? I am only unable to seek revenge against you, the Ming imperial court and Li Chengliang, because of the current weak power. I just endured it for the time being, waiting for the future when I have enough strength to let you know about my court and my will!"
He thought to himself, but what came out of his mouth was something else: "Then, what about the murderer Nikan Wailan? Please leave it to me!"
Zhang Huawen smoothed things over and said to him with a smile all over his face, "The imperial court has already added officials and honors to you, so why should you pursue it? What's the point of pursuing the murderer because you can't be resurrected after death? I can't get anything other than venting my anger..."
Hearing these words, Nurhachi became even more angry, so he said coldly to Zhang Huawen: "Killing my grandfather and father is a sworn enemy; I dare not pursue the imperial court's will and Li Zongbing. Nikan Wailan killed him, I only believe that he is a murderer and an enemy, I must ask the governor to hand him over to me, and the death of my grandfather and father will be settled!"
His expression was indifferent, his attitude was tough, and his tone of voice was even more decisive, which made Zhang Huawen look embarrassed and at a loss.
"The lower official is following orders, and the fact of handing over Nikanwailan is really difficult to do!" Zhang Huawen paused twice before continuing: "Besides, the lower official has already learned that Uncle Ningyuan and General Li Zongbing have promised If you want to help him build a city in the first place and make him the co-lord of the Jurchens—the fact is in front of you, Nikanwailan will never be handed over to you; as the saying goes, the situation is more important than others Strong, the one who understands current affairs is a hero, why do you insist on asking for something that others can't do?"
After hearing what he said, Nurhachi didn't have any emotional reaction, and he stopped arguing with him, but just said lightly: "Okay! Since the governor's office can't do it, then I will do it myself." do it!"
As he spoke, he bowed politely to Zhang Huawen; of course Zhang Huawen knew that the matter had reached the point where "there was no speculation", so he stood up and said goodbye embarrassingly.
As soon as Zhang Huawen's feet crossed the threshold, Nurhachi was immediately busy preparing for the attack on Tulun City - the governor's yamen would not hand over Nikan Wai Lan, which he had expected a long time ago. Attacking Nikan Wai Lan The city of Tulun is something that he has already made up his mind-and to his delight, he sent a letter to invite Chang Shu, the master of Zhanhe village, brothers Yang Shu, his quasi-brother-in-law Ha Sihu, and the city master of Sarhu. Nomina sent a reply letter, willing to form an alliance with him and jointly send troops to attack Tulun City.
He first sent someone to deliver a letter, agreeing to meet in Jianzhou Zuowei League one month later, and invite everyone to bring their troops to come; The content to be agreed, as small as the board and lodging of at least a hundred people coming to Jianzhou Zuowei - he has carefully considered all of them, and all possible situations have been imagined, and the next step is to draw up The plan to attack the city of Tulum.
And these things, there is no one around him who can help him - among the three younger brothers, Shuerhaqi is the best in terms of martial arts, but it is impossible to "plan" like this; Although An Fei Yanggu is excellent in martial arts, he is not good at "planning strategies". Therefore, they practice martial arts, horseback riding and archery together every day, or use the nine apprentices of Eyidu to command the offensive and defensive advances and retreats like thousands of horses and horses. And Nurhachi is responsible for all the planning of the painting.
Therefore, Nurhachi was so busy that he wished that he was Monkey King and could conjure many people like himself to help...
Nichuhe took Shuerhaqi and the others to pick up Haha Nazhaqing, Chu Ying, and Dongguo's mother and son. He saw their mother and son, and although he was very happy, he couldn't spare any time. Spend more time with them; Shuerhaqi's wife came to visit him with her newborn second son in her arms. He looked at the fat newborn, and he really liked it in his heart. Apart from the name, there is no extra time to hug and play!
He had to immerse himself in the upcoming major event - the first time in his life to hold an alliance with people, to unite strength, to act together, and then to fight the first battle of his life; Can't drop!
"Only succeed, not fail..."
He told himself like this, and demanded himself like this; and in order to accomplish this goal, he had to put in all his efforts.
However, something unexpected happened before the success of the big event...
One day, E Yidu, An Fei Yanggu and Shuerhaqi brothers practiced martial arts together as usual. E Yidu recently developed a six-person group attack method and taught his apprentices After rehearsing, he and An Fei Yanggu observed on the sidelines to improve the shortcomings; Nurhachi was alone in the room, facing a map, and repeatedly thinking about several routes to attack Tulun City; The blocks represent the army led by him, and the small wooden blocks represent the army of Nikanwailan, simulating the situation of the two sides fighting.
At this moment, Pahai walked in with a strange expression on his face.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Nurhachi burying his head in "soldiers on paper", and he knew in his heart that he could not be disturbed at this time, so he withdrew and retreated immediately; They spoke a few words.
When the few people heard this, they couldn't help but change their faces a little, and the atmosphere naturally became dignified and solemn; after a while, Eyi was the first to speak to break the silence, and he asked, "Where are people now?"
Pahai replied: "In the kitchen—Miss is making food for him!"
E Yidu said: "Go and wait, when he is full, bring him to see Nurhachi; let's go and talk to Nurhachi first!"
"Ah, no;" Shuerhaqi suddenly made a slightly trembling voice to stop him: "Let him go back, if he wants to tell big brother, we can pass it on..."
Er Yi didn't wait for him to finish before interrupting his words: "How can I do that? There is no such reason in the world!"
Shuerhaqi murmured, "You don't know big brother's temper, and you don't know what happened in the past..."
E Yidu's voice became louder: "I don't know this! However, I know Nurhachi's measure, he is not a narrow-minded person!"
Shuerhar's voice also became louder: "He always repays kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge!"
Seeing that the two had started to argue, An Fei Yanggu, who had been silent for a long time, smoothed things over and said: "I think so, this matter, since Shu Erhaqi's opinion is so, don't get involved in this matter. Pretend not to know; on Nurhachi's side, let E Yidu tell me, and if it doesn't work, follow Shuerhaqi's opinion—oh, Yarhaqi, Murhaqi, how about you? Are you willing to accompany me? Shall we go find Nurhachi, or wait here with Shuerhaqi?"
Yaerhaqi and Murhaqi looked at each other, but they decided to accompany Shuerhaqi to wait for the news, so E Yidu and Anfei Yanggu came to find Nurhachi.
Nurhachi was still looking at the map in a daze, but the small stones that were originally arranged on the map had all replaced the small wooden blocks; when he heard the footsteps of the two people coming in, he looked up and saw the two, and couldn't help shouting happily: "Ah, you It’s just in time! Come and see the plan I’ve made—I’m sure I’ll win this battle!”
The forehead is also straight-hearted and impatient, so he said without hesitation: "Let's talk about the war later, we are here to talk to you about another matter - your little brother Bayara is back!"
Upon hearing this, Nurhachi immediately jumped up and asked in a loud voice, "What? Bayara is back? Where is he? Who brought him back?"
His face showed surprise and doubt, and not only was he not displeased, but with some surprise, he grabbed E Yidu's arm and shouted: "Take me to see him!"
Seeing his reaction, E Yidu and An Fei Yanggu breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, and then explained to him with a smile: "Ba Yala ran back by himself last night. Here, before dawn, he didn't dare to call the door, and fell asleep alone in the firewood room outside; just now, Pahai saw it when he went to fetch firewood, so he woke him up, he was hungry , take him to the kitchen to eat first, and come to see you when he is full!"
"Hey! This kid, why did you sneak back alone? How dangerous the road is!" Nurhachi sighed twice, "If you want to come back, send a letter and I'll send someone to pick him up, okay?"
"Pahai said, he has something important to tell you, so he sneaked here at night!"
E also heard what he said, and already had a score in his heart, so he simply opened his mouth and said: "What are you going to do with him when he comes back? Just now Shuerhaqi was very nervous, afraid that you will still remember the old evil. , I can't stand Bayara in my heart, I want to send him back!"
Nurhachi looked up to the sky with a smile and said, "I'm not the kind of person with a small nose and small eyes! So many years ago, why should I remember the past! What's more, what his mother did has nothing to do with him, let alone, Not to mention Bayara, even if his mother wants to come back, I welcome it too! Ama’s wife and children are a family! Shuerhaqi is too narrow-minded, and my own brother doesn’t know me so well !"
As soon as he finished speaking, Nichuhe and Pahai had already brought Bayara into the hall; Bayara was only in his early ten years, still a child, still small in stature, and his eyebrows and eyes vaguely looked like a tower. Ke Shi; Nurhachi felt sad when he saw him, and before he could finish calling "Big Brother", he went up to him and hugged him.
"Ba Yala, you are back, my brother likes it very much!"
He held Bayara around twice before putting him down, and then said to him solemnly: "However, it is very dangerous for you to run back at night alone; you are still a child, if you are on the way If you meet a big bear, what should you do? You can’t run around alone anymore, if you want to go there, you can tell your brothers to ask someone to accompany you!”
After what he said, Bayara's eyes turned red involuntarily, and she barely shed tears: "I have something important to tell you, so I ran back without fear!"
Seeing that he was about to cry, Nurhachi couldn't help feeling amused in his heart, but quickly put up his temper and asked him softly, "What's the important thing you want to tell me?"
Bayara said: "Uncle Samzhan took advantage of others to harm you! I overheard him telling Er Niang that he had already contacted those people in Longdun who never liked you, and went to the hall to make an oath. Let's work together to get rid of you..."
After hearing this, Nurhachi was silent for a long time, and then asked: "Do you know who benefited Samzhan? Besides colluding with Long Dun, who else did he date? What other ghost ideas are there?" ?”
Bayara shook his head and said, "I don't know, I didn't say that in what I overheard!"
Nurhachi was silent for a moment, then sighed again and said, "Actually, you don't even need to guess who is the mastermind. Besides Nikanwailan, who else did you date? Who else?"
As he spoke, he said to Bayara: "Bayala, thank you for coming back and telling me this!"
Unexpectedly, Bayara raised a resolute expression on her young face, and said to Nurhachi in a firm tone: "No, brother, you don't have to thank me! I am also Ama's son. I am also involved in Ama's revenge; even if my uncle wants to stop us from avenging Ama, I can't just watch him harm you; although I am young, I can do many things!"
Hearing what he said, Nurhachi laughed happily, patted his shoulder, which was only waist-high, and said loudly: "Good brother, have ambition - in the future, you will not only avenge Ama One copy, there are even bigger undertakings waiting for you to do!"
His voice was hearty and powerful, which fully conveyed the sense of comfort in his heart; Shuerhaqi, Yarhazi and Murhazi had quietly walked in at some point and stood behind Nurhachi; Hearing such a hearty and comforting voice, the hearts of the three of them immediately widened, and a warm current spread throughout their bodies.
However, Nurhachi did not ignore the warning signal from Bayara while he was happy and relieved—his enemy Nikan Wailan had already obtained Li Chengliang's support first, and had cleverly united with him all along. Disharmonious in-laws and clansmen, together to deal with him, is a force to be reckoned with; coupled with the fact that "the open gun is easy to hide, but the hidden arrow is hard to guard against", we don't know what kind of plots and tricks they will use, and we can only fight against him at any time. Be vigilant everywhere, take precautions...
He is very clear about the characters of Samzhan and Long Dun; Samzhan is an insatiable person who fears the world will not be chaotic. Dun, he was blinded by jealousy!
Long Dun was considered to be his clan uncle—at the beginning, his great-grandfather Fuman gave birth to six sons, namely Deshiku, Liu Chan, Suo Chang'a, Jue Chang'an, Bao Lang'a, and Baoshi. Ninggu Tabele; grandfather Jue Changan inherited the ancestral business and led the city of Hetuala. The other five brothers built their own cities. The son of Suo Chang'a——Since Jue Chang'an led his people to defeat the Shuosena and Jiahu clans, and conquered the tribes east of Wuling and two hundred miles west of Sukesuhu River, the momentum has become increasingly prosperous. Dun's jealousy began to make trouble.
He first spread whispers among the other Wufang people, saying that Jue Changan was a Sifang and had no right to inherit the ancestral business at all; Wufang—the whispers spread too much, and even people who didn’t believe it became suspicious; therefore, after a period of time, the people of Wufang gradually became alienated and hostile to Juechang’an...
After the deaths of Jue Changan and Takshi, Long Dun not only took pleasure in other people's misfortune, but also began to unite with his tribe to join Nikanwailan. You gave away your life, if you want to save your life, you have to surrender to Nikanwailan..."
In the past few days, he has spread a lot of whispers: "The Ming Dynasty has promised Nikanwailan to help him build an armored city and be the co-lord of the Jurchens—everyone join as soon as possible, and there will be benefits in the future!"
"What is Nurhachi, who dares to seek revenge on Nikanwailan? Can he beat him?"
"With the backing of the Ming Dynasty, Nikan Wailan can't beat ten, one hundred, ten thousand Nurhachi!"
"Against Nikan Wailan, Atai is an example; when the time comes, our entire clan will be finished..."
Thinking of this, Nurhachi frowned slightly, and he told himself vigilantly that while planning to attack Tulun City with all his heart, he must not ignore these hidden worries from behind.
