Chapter 29 Chapter 25 Four Leagues
The date of the alliance was approaching. Facing the first major event in his life, Nurhachi was as excited as a raging fire, which made him look radiant, full of energy and full of energy.
And his exuberant and high-spirited emotions also infected everyone around him, four younger brothers, Eyedu, Anfei Yanggu, Pahai—even the five-year-old Dongguo happily followed Bayarana Running in and out with small bows and arrows, saying "huimeng" from the left and "huimeng" from the right, although the little head still doesn't understand anything, it adds another three points to the excitement.
Several women, including Ni Chuhe and Zhaqing, were busy preparing tents, bedding and other miscellaneous items for food and accommodation—"Nurhachi Mansion" was not as complete as "Li Chengliang Mansion", and hundreds of visitors had to be entertained The men and horses of the alliance are already busy preparing for food and accommodation; they tidy up the wild animals hunted by the men, pickle some of them, make some of them into jerky, and keep some of them for cooking; The wine has been brewed as early as possible, and dozens of large tanks have been stored; the tent is imitating the appearance of a "yurt", using wooden strips as supports, and then covered with felt as a roof; I was so busy.
But in this situation, Zaqing's advantages are revealed; originally, she neither has a particularly beautiful appearance, nor does she have the temperament and elegance of a lady, and coupled with her taciturnity, she looks very unremarkable; however, she She is very neat and capable when she does things, and she takes care of all the big and small things in a timely manner. She is thoughtful and thoughtful, and she works hard and silently. After a few days, she won the admiration of her sisters-in-law and praised her secretly. .
And she took care of Nurhachi's daily life even more meticulously - after picking her up, Nurhachi no longer had to be distracted by the trivial things in life, from washing his face in the morning to supper at night, Zaqing has taken care of everything, and he can focus all his attention on the important matters of the alliance...
Ten days before the agreed meeting date, the first team had already arrived at the left guard of Jianzhou; it was Nichuhe's fiancé, Jiamu Huzhai's Garhashan Hasihu, and he brought more than twenty people to personally train The warriors and fiery hearts who came out hurried on the road and arrived first.
As soon as he got off the horse, he immediately embraced Nurhachi and Eyi who had heard the sound, and the three of them laughed and shouted at the same time, saying miss in unison, and then Nurhachi patted him on the shoulder. He said: "Good brother - our business is about to begin!"
E Yidu even opened his voice and shouted: "You came just in time! We are going to have a big fight!"
This night, the few people sat together and talked like they did when they first met three years ago. It is also full of ideals and aspirations of young people just like three years ago, but the content is much more specific and practical than three years ago, and the focus is on this alliance...
Two days later, brothers Chang Shu and Yang Shu from Zhanhe Village also arrived.
Chang Shu's brother, surnamed Guo Luoluo, lived in Zhanhe Village in Sukesuhu River for generations. After his father died, the two brothers became the masters of Zhanhe Village together; Chang Shu and Nurhachi were the same age, slightly fat, with a round With a smile on his face, squinting his eyes into a straight line, he looks extremely amiable; Yang Shu is a few years younger, and his temperament is obviously a little more immature, and his figure and face are also different. They are obviously smaller than their elder brother, with a round doll face with delicate features and cheeks flushed like rouge; the two brothers wear the same color fur hats, and the clothes and shoes on their bodies are also of the same color and material. However, the weapons on the books are very different. Chang Shu uses knives, but Yang Shu's weapons are long spears with red tassels on them, which flutter in the wind when they dance, very bright.
The two of them are old friends with Nurhachi, and have met Ha Sihu and Eyi a few times, but they don't know An Feiyangu, so when they arrived, Nurhachi immediately introduced them: "This is An Feiyangu. Fei Yanggu, the most famous warrior in Huji Village - Zhanhe Village Master Chang Shu, his sword skills are amazing, my dear, I have known him for so many years, I can say anything, but I dare not learn his sword Fa—this is Yang Shu, hey, Yang Shu, why did you tear this big piece of your robe? Did you get into a fight along the way?"
When Nurhachi spoke, his eyes were sharp, and there was a crack on the front of Yang Shu's robe, and he couldn't follow it immediately; this question, Yang Shu's flushed face immediately turned purple, and he didn't have the nerve to answer. Just giggle.
But Chang Shu couldn't help explaining for him with a smile: "He didn't fight with anyone, but he was mischievous with himself - there is a fruit forest on the road ahead, and when we were resting, he said he wanted to pick some fruits and try them out Without looking carefully, he climbed up the tree like a monkey. Unexpectedly, a wild beehive formed on the tree. When he climbed up, the bees flew out to sting people. You rolled down the tree in a panic, and tore such a big slit in the new robe you wore as a guest!"
This made all the people present burst into laughter, making Yang Shu's face even redder. Fortunately, while laughing, Nurhachi relieved him of his embarrassment: "My little sister is good at needlework, and such a seam can't be troubled." Hers, just make sure she mends it without any trace!"
Then he said to Ha Sihu: "Excuse me, go find Nichuhe and come over here!"
Ha Sihu has been here for the past two days, and he has gotten a little familiar with Nichuhe. Firstly, he has a long-standing marriage contract, and secondly, his personality is not twitchy, so he went to find Nichuhe. Mend clothes for Yang Shu.
Sure enough, Nichuhe had a pair of skillful hands, and she tore a large seam into her hand, and after a while, she gave Yang Shu a piece of clothing that was as good as new, with no signs of mending at all; Everyone was dumbfounded for a long while, and then they all praised Ni Chuhe's craftsmanship one after another.
Ha Sihu was especially sweet in his heart, and kept stealing glances at Ni Chuhe, his eyes filled with honey; E Yidu's mood was different from his, and his temperament was particularly lively and cheerful, so he patted Yang Shu on the back, Jokingly said with him: "Okay, with my cousin-in-law here, you can climb trees without worry!"
This sentence made the faces of the three people red in one fell swoop. Although Ni Chuhe is a girl, she is a girl after all. When she heard E Yidu's jokes, she simply turned her head and walked away; Ha Sihu was embarrassed to chase her. I had no choice but to watch the big guy giggle for a while, but it turned out to be another roar of laughter.
However, after the joke was over, when the conversation got to the point, the atmosphere immediately became heavy and serious.
It was the first topic that Chang Shu started: "Nomina is always slippery, greedy for life and afraid of death, and his speech is extremely unreliable. This time, will he really come?"
Nurhachi answered him: "He replied to my letter and said with certainty that he would arrive on time!"
Chang Shu said: "However, this person often doesn't count what he says, what if he doesn't come?"
Ha Sihu pondered for a while, and then said: "It's not impossible - when I came along the way, I heard a lot of gossips, saying that the Ming Dynasty wanted to help Nikanwailan build an armored city, and set him up. As the co-owner of the Jurchens, many people have already believed this and have rushed to serve Nikan Wailan; if Nomina heard the news, she would probably retreat..."
"What if he doesn't come, what shall we do?" Yang Shu asked, "Do you want to change the plan?"
"No," Nurhachi answered him firmly: "Even if Nomina doesn't come, our alliance will still be held as scheduled-it's just that one part of Saerhu City is missing. We will form an alliance with three parties, and then attack Tulun City — all plans remain the same..."
As he said that, he looked at everyone solemnly, and said word by word: "Since we have decided to make a big business, how can we change the plan for a small change?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Eyi immediately responded to him and said: "Yes, if Nomina doesn't come, let him go-what we have decided to do cannot be changed because of him!"
Fortunately, this time, Nomina did not retreat as everyone had guessed. The day before the day of the alliance, he rushed there with dozens of people.
His appearance undoubtedly brought some surprises to everyone, and the already enthusiastic atmosphere became even better; at night, Ha Sihu deliberately avoided Nurhachi, and found family letters, brothers Yang Shu and Nomina to be with him. Discuss things quietly in the account.
He first tentatively said to Nomina: "It is widely rumored that the Ming Dynasty will help Nikanwailan build an armored city and make him the co-lord of the Jurchens. I don't know if this news is true or not. In your opinion? ?”
Nomina said: "I'm afraid the news is not false. Nikan Wailan has always been a lackey of the Ming Dynasty. If he does too much work, he will always be rewarded with a piece of meat and bone to gnaw on; but, this person Nikan Wailan His character is too bad, let him be the co-lord of the Jurchens, we will be in bad luck!"
Hearing what he said, Ha Sihu was relieved, so he first looked at Changshu and Yangshu, then turned back to look at Nomina, and then said sincerely and solemnly: "Based on my little brother's humble opinion, in our few days Among individuals, Nurhachi is the one with the highest wisdom, the deepest strategy, and the greatest tolerance. Since everyone thinks that Nikan Wailan's character is not good enough to allow him to be the co-lord of the Jurchens, it is better to recommend Nurhachi—tomorrow's meeting League, I want to elect him as the leader and be the 'Baylor' of our four departments!"
Before he finished speaking, Chang Shu and Yang Shu applauded, and the two brothers said in unison, "Great! We think so too!"
Nomina saw that three out of the four people already had the same opinion, and of course only the one who had nothing to do agreed with Ha Sihu's words.
Ha Sihu was overjoyed, and quickly went to quietly inform E Yidu and An Feiyangu...
Early the next morning, the ceremony of the alliance will be officially held.
The wooden platform has been set up a few days ago. It is located in an open field by the Suhu River in Suke, with the mountain on its back and the river facing, with a beautiful landscape and a wide view; the platform is four feet square and five feet high; the furnishings on the stage It is very simple, there is no special arrangement, only an incense table is set in it, but it symbolizes a lofty meaning in everyone's mind. Come, show it in broad daylight, witness it from heaven and earth, protect it from the gods, and let the world know...
The troops of the four divisions were neatly arranged in the audience, and the number of each division was not large, only about twenty or thirty; the least number of left guards in Jianzhou was only a dozen, and they were the four Shuerhaqi brothers, An Feiyanggu He and Er are both masters and apprentices; however, although the number of people is small and the weapons are not comprehensive, they are full of momentum. Everyone's face reveals a vigorous and vigorous vitality, and they look particularly energetic in the light of the rising sun. .
With a sincere and solemn heart, Nurhachi took the lead to step onto the wooden platform with steady and powerful steps; behind him followed Ha Sihu, Chang Shu, Yang Shu and Nomina in turn, and the four of them went up to the wooden platform. After saluting to the sky, and then to each other, Nurhachi said to everyone: "Today we meet here, and we will be one person from now on. Everyone should love and trust each other, unite sincerely, and work together to create a better future." !"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ha Sihu immediately went on to say: "Yes, the people of our four departments have been like brothers and sisters since then, working together to create a better future; moreover, we elected Nurhachi as the leader of the four departments and ordered the four departments ..."
He faced the audience and spoke loudly; before Nurhachi had time to react, the crowd under the leadership of E Yidu and An Feiyangu had already cheered: "We elected Nurhachi as the head of the four departments..."
"We recommend Nurhachi..."
The shouts started from a dozen people from Jianzhou Zuowei, and immediately spread to the entire crowd. A team of about a hundred people shouted in unison, forming a very impressive wave of voices.
Nurhachi stood tall on the stage, facing the cheering crowd, his whole body was boiling with blood, his eyes flashed with fiery light, and his face showed a firm look; he looked at the crowd below the stage, and then slowly Looking up to the sky, facing the radiance of the rising sun, a voice quietly sounded in his heart: "You are the son of heaven, born to stabilize chaos in Anbang..."
A strong sense of mission impacted his heart, and the legend of the birth of his ancestors merged with his life, and he clearly felt his innate mission; so, he silently made an oath in his heart: "From now on From the beginning, I will gradually complete the mission of 'Anbang Stable Chaos', and do my best to live up to God's expectations for me..."
Waves of blood surged in his heart, condensing into a huge spiritual force; so, he strode forward, bowed his fists to the audience, and said loudly: "Nurhachi must not I will live up to everyone's love and care, and from now on, I will do my best to make a career with everyone!"
Ha Sihu, Chang Shu, Yang Shu and Nomina said loudly behind him in unison: "We, Jiamuhu Village, Zhanhe Village, and Sarhu City, are the first to surrender. From today, we will serve under Nurhachi's command!"
After finishing speaking, Nomina added: "The three of us are the first to follow suit. I hope you remember the love you have today. When he was prosperous in his youth, don't forget that we are the brothers who came back from the first wave!"
Nurhachi stretched out his hands, clasped them tightly with the four people, and said loudly: "We swear to the heavenly alliance, work together to create a cause, and never forget each other!"
After speaking, the oath ceremony was held immediately, with Nurhachi as the leader and four people lined up behind, burning incense to pray to heaven, and offering sacrifices to heaven with vertebral cattle. Then, everyone knelt down on one knee in front of the incense table and swore to heaven...
After the ceremony, Nurhachi locked himself alone in the empty room where the coffins of Jue Changan and Takshi were placed, and knelt silently in front of the coffin for a whole afternoon.
The coffins of Jue Changan and Takshi have not been buried because Nurhachi swore that they would not bury them until they got the head of Nikanwailan as a sacrifice; and now, the act of revenge is about to begin Now, he came to the coffin, and said to the sleeping soul inside: "Don't worry, I will succeed! I will avenge you, and I will complete the mission entrusted to us by God—— Our first sister was born according to the will of heaven, and she wanted to come to the world to stabilize the chaos. Unfortunately, you were killed by traitors before your ambitions were fulfilled. I will inherit the mission left behind; God’s will, you I cannot, and dare not, evade or refuse your will—please rest assured, I will definitely accomplish it..."
He spread out the thirteen armors left by Takshi one by one, and stroked them gently with both hands again; his movements were soft and silent, but his heart was surging and turbulent. A huge force that cannot be resisted.
