Chapter 35 Chapter 31 Proposal
The plan to attack Jiaban City was drawn up quickly, and Ha Sihu, Chang Shu, and Yang Shu brothers also came on time as promised; Ha Sihu immediately mentioned one thing to Nurhachi as soon as he arrived: " On the way I came, I met Ye He’s minister Yang Ji Niubel, and he praised you very much!”
Hearing this, Nurhachi couldn't help but be delighted: "Great! I'm just trying to contact some friendly tribes to form an alliance. If the Yehe tribe has a good impression of me first, things will go much smoother—just take advantage of it." This time, we sent troops to attack Jiaban, and when we returned triumphantly, we stopped by to visit him first; he is much older than me, and I should see him as an elder!"
However, Ha Sihu suggested to him: "You should go to ask him for marriage—I heard that Yang Jipi's daughter is beautiful and virtuous. You haven't married the wife yet, and he has a good impression of you. You go to ask for marriage. I think he I will promise you!"
However, before he could finish his words, Nurhachi's face darkened, pain appeared in his eyes, and he lowered his head. After a long while, he made a sound and spoke softly to Ha Sihu. Said: "My wife is dead - I don't want to marry again!"
But he also knew that Ha Sihu didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, so he briefly talked about his relationship with Xue'er, and then repeated the conclusion in his heart: "The moment I heard the news of Xue'er's death, I have already decided that I will never marry a wife for the rest of my life, and I will keep my wife's position to commemorate the wife who died for me!"
After listening to his words, Ha Sihu's face also showed a little more sentimentality; however, his thoughts were opposite to Nurhachi's, so he said to Nurhachi very sincerely: "You are the one who died for the dead girl Xue'er. Even an outsider like me was very moved when he heard it; but, "The authorities are obsessed, the bystanders are clear", I, a bystander, really want to remind you a word; if you want to avenge Miss Xueer, it is even more necessary and Marriage between Yehe tribe!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Nurhachi opened a pair of piercing eyes, shot two sharp glances, and looked straight at him without blinking for a long time.
Of course Ha Sihu knew that reason in Nurhachi's heart had begun to overcome emotion, so he continued: "I still remember that you said to me and Eyi before that if the Jurchens can become strong, the first priority It is unity, the ministries are united as one, and no longer kill each other, and then we can talk about other things-you said that the way the ministries unite is to contact friends and eliminate enemies-then think about it, is in-laws better than friends? How about a closer relationship?"
Nurhachi listened silently without saying a word, but the expression on his face had already changed significantly; Ha Sihu watched coldly, and immediately seized the opportunity to analyze with him in detail the marriage with Ye Hebu. important.
It turns out that the Haixi Jurchen, which is a tripartite rivalry with the Jianzhou Jurchen and the Savage Jurchen, is roughly divided into four Hulun tribes. These four tribes are Hada, Yehe, Huifa, and Ula; Okay, so the most supported by Ming, it becomes the strongest; followed by the Yehe tribe.
However, the ministers of the Yehe tribe are not Jurchens but Mongolians—their ancestors came from Mongolia and their surname was Tumed. It was because they destroyed the Nala tribe and occupied this place that they took the land as their surname. The surname was "Nala"; later, they moved to the bank of the Yehe River, so they took the name "Yehe".
Now Yehe's ministers are two brothers. They built two cities according to the danger, only a few miles apart. The elder brother Qingjia Ni lived in the west city, and the younger brother Yang Ji Ni lived in the east city. They were not weak, and they both called themselves "Baile"; There is a grievance between the Hada tribe that has been involved for three generations, and the relationship between the two parties is very delicate; it was Wang Jiwailan, the minister from Hada, who killed the grandfather Chu Kongge of Qing Jiapi and Yang Jipi, and robbed the Ming Dynasty. It started with the villages they belonged to. Qing Jiapi and Yang Jipi kept the hatred of killing their ancestors in their hearts, but because their strength was not as good as others, they had to endure it; and after Hada minister Wangji Wailan was killed by a traitor, his son Bor Kun Shejin welcomed Wan as a minister, and with stronger strength, he called himself Khan. Qing Jiani and Yang Jipi had no choice but to be respectful and respectful to him on the surface, and even married their younger sister Wen to Wan Khan. Married a daughter to Yang Jipi.
However, patience is to complete a more important mission. The two brothers kept their grandfather's hatred in mind, and finally waited for the opportunity. When Wan Khan was getting old and declining, Yang Jipi married another, and they began to regain the lost land one by one. Hu Ergan, the son of Wan Khan, was cruel. His subordinate Bai Huchi and others rebelled and defected to Yehe. After the death, several sons competed for power and profit. Among them, Kanggulu, the concubine born to his wife, was not convinced that Menggebulu, the son born to sister Wen, would inherit his father's position. Ni, Qing Jiani married him a daughter to help him deal with Hu Ergan; in this way, Wan Khan's descendants killed each other for a while, and Hada's power was weakened a lot.
Not long ago, brothers Qing Jiani and Yang Jipi led Baihuchi and others to attack Menggebulu, who was their nephew. Tian Jia has also regained a lot of lost land from his grandfather's time...
"Yehe's power is increasing day by day, and has begun to surpass Hada; if you marry Yang Jipi's daughter and have an in-law relationship, the relationship between Jianzhou Zuowei and Yehe's tribe will deepen. Not only can you To avoid the problem of attacking each other, you can also be each other's arms and help each other in many ways-for example, when you want to send troops to avenge Miss Xue'er one day, if you can get Ye He to send troops to help you, right? How about one more chance?"
Ha Sihu spoke eloquently, then patted Nurhachi on the shoulder, and said to him earnestly: "In my opinion, there is no difference between your love for Miss Xueer and your marriage to Yang Jipi's daughter. There is no conflict - even, you can think of it this way: you marry Ye He's daughter to strengthen the strength of the left guard in Jianzhou, so that you can avenge Miss Xue'er in the future..."
This sentence deeply touched Nurhachi's heart, he was silent for a while, then let out a long breath, and then he said softly to Ha Sihu: "You are right, thank you for reminding me! "
Therefore, he revised part of his action plan—before attacking Jiaban City, he first went to the Yehe tribe to ask for relatives.
He selected a sable fur from the spoils he got in Tulun City last time as a gift for meeting Yang Jipi, and prepared twenty Dongzhu as a dowry gift. Accompanied by Ha Sihu and other people, he visited Yang Jipi Yeh Department.
Yang Jipi has always had a good impression of him. When he heard that he came to visit, he was very happy, and immediately welcomed him in as a guest of honor; : "A boy born from a hero - really a boy born from a hero! I heard that you avenged your ancestors and father with thirteen armors, and conquered the city of Tulun with a hundred people; it's really amazing! You have ambition! You have courage!"
He said repeatedly, giving thumbs up at the same time, but Nurhachi blushed because of his embarrassment; fortunately, Yang Jipi immediately went to praise others: "You are E Yidu! Well, I I heard that when you were fighting, you rushed forward as if you were desperate for your life; good! Young people, you should be brave and courageous-you are An Feiyangu! I heard that your martial arts are very good. Alright, when will you come to Yehe to live for a few days, help teach my incompetent grandsons, and save them from getting a few knives when they go to the battlefield!"
His voice is loud, his voice is loud, and he praises everyone so vigorously, which makes everyone a little embarrassed; fortunately, he is old and sincere, and he is full of the demeanor of an elder, and his words of praise are also pure Out of love, without unnatural hypocrisy, the atmosphere was very happy; taking advantage of the harmonious atmosphere, Nurhachi took out the sable fur, gave it to Yang Jipi with both hands, and said to him: "We are the younger generation, the first This time I came to visit officially, I promise you will never give up, and you did not treat us as outsiders; please accept this little bit of kindness!"
As he spoke, his face suddenly turned red, and he couldn't speak the following words. All the words he had planned to propose to Yang Jipi suddenly became shy in his throat, and he refused to show a word.
Seeing that he was speechless, everyone around him became anxious for him, especially the impatient E Yidu, who was so anxious that he almost jumped up and proposed to Yang Jipi on his behalf; Ha Sihu quietly He stretched out his hand and gently pulled Nurhachi's sleeve, implying that he would ask for marriage; but Nurhachi blushed, and he didn't speak for a long time, and the palms of several people were so anxious that they sweated.
On the contrary, Yang Jipi, who had accepted the sable fur, laughed a few times happily, and then spoke loudly to ease the embarrassing situation: "Nurhachi, I heard that you lived in Shenyang for six years before Returning to Jianzhou? This is right, a golden nest and a silver nest, it’s not as good as your own kennel!"
Then he asked again: "Since you're back, of course you have to make some plans—do you have any long-term plans besides taking revenge on Nikan Wai Lan?"
Nurhachi answered him: "Yes—I have lived in Shenyang for six years and witnessed the prosperity and progress of the Han people. Therefore, after I have avenged my ancestors and fathers, I will devote myself to improving everything about the Jurchens so that The Jurchens are just as prosperous and progressive as the Han people!"
Hearing this, Yang Jipi widened his eyes and asked him, "Do you know how big the Han people's Ming Dynasty was?"
Nurhachi nodded and said: "I know. The Ming Dynasty has a population of about 10 million, and the court's tax revenue is more than four million taels of silver every year..."
Yang Jinu interrupted him and asked, "Do you know that there are 10 million people, which is more than a thousand times the total number of our Jurchens?"
Nurha Equator: "Of course I know"
Yang Jipi suddenly put on a straight face, and asked sharply: "Now that you know it, you still dare to say so boldly that you want to make the Jurchens as prosperous and progressive as the Han people? What virtue and ability do you have? Can you do it?"
Seeing his face change, everyone was shocked. They didn't know why the topic became so sharp, let alone how to deal with it, so they couldn't help panicking; only Nurhachi raised his head and chest, loudly Answer Yang Jipi: "Although my current ability is still very weak, I can only do it bit by bit, but I believe that as long as I try my best in everything, there will be a day when I can do it-I believe that one day, I will Leading the Jurchens to the Kangzhuang Avenue! I swear to God, I take this as my lifelong mission, and try my best to complete this mission; even if I can’t do it in my lifetime, then my son, grandson, son-in-law Children and grandchildren will continue to do it, and my mission will definitely be accomplished!"
He unknowingly said what was hidden in his heart, and he said it louder and louder, until he almost yelled out, Yang Jipi stared at him fiercely with his eyes wide open, Without showing any weakness, he stared straight at Yang Jipi with big eyes. The conflict was imminent, and the scene was extremely hot.
The hearts of Ha Sihu and the others were all hanging in their chests, everyone was secretly thinking, this time, Jianzhou Zuowei only came with a dozen people, while Ye He's tribe had thousands of people. In case of a conflict, what method should be used to escape?Ha Sihu himself felt more remorse, regretting that he should have encouraged Nurhachi to come to Yehe tribe to propose marriage...
Who knows, after Yang Jipi and Nurhachi stared at each other for a long time, he suddenly burst into an unexpected "hahaha" laugh, and while laughing, he walked over from his seat and patted Nurhachi on the shoulder , and said loudly: "Okay——I really didn't misunderstand the person! Ambitious! I just like young people with ambition!"
He suddenly changed his attitude again, which was even more unexpected by everyone, and everyone showed surprise, and only Nurhachi was still watching Yang Jipi with his usual expression, but Yang Jipi didn't pay attention to the reactions of others. Self-servingly said to Nurhachi: "If you have such ambition, you will become a great weapon in the future-my youngest daughter is nine years old this year. I will marry her to you. After five years, I will send her to the left of Jianzhou." Wei is married!"
As soon as the words came out, everyone was overjoyed, but Nurhachi raised a question: "Since you promised me to get married, and your eldest daughter is already fourteen years old, why didn't you promise me as the eldest daughter, but wait until five years later to get married?" Where's your little girl?"
Yang Jipi told him: "My two daughters are both very beautiful. In terms of character and intelligence, it is difficult to distinguish between them; however, my youngest daughter has several points that are better than my sister. Second, she is big-minded and can accommodate others; third, she has small desires and can sacrifice herself to help others—I think she is more suitable for you, although she is relatively young, but it is worth waiting for her for five years!"
Hearing his sincerity, Nurhachi didn't say any more. He happily took out the twenty pearls he had brought as a dowry gift, and presented them to Yang Jipi respectfully.
Yang Jipi accepted the dowry, and to Nurhachi, of course, "the father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, and the more he looks at him, the more he is satisfied"; and when he heard that he was going to attack Jiaban City, Yang Jipi immediately ordered someone to take a very well-made armor He came to give it to him, and also sent him ten warriors and ten horses to help him attack Jiaban City-this trip to Yehe tribe to ask for relatives was a very successful completion of the task.
However, the attack on the first version of the city failed to capture Nikanwailan as planned...
The first version of the city is still newly built, and the wood color is still fresh; but although the city fence is strong and the number of defenders is large, the combat effectiveness is not strong, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and they are quickly attacked by Nurhachi's troops; but, Nikanwailan had long since fled.
"Nomina and Nekada, the lords of Salhu City, sent someone to report a few days ago..."
One of Nikan Wailan's cronies who was taken into captivity couldn't resist being questioned a few times, so he said obediently: "The city wants us to hold on to the city so that you don't suspect that he has escaped—in fact, as soon as he heard the news , left overnight—his wife, children, and belongings—it’s been two days now!”
Hearing this, Nurhachi was so angry that his eyes almost burst into flames: "Such a cunning Nikanwailan - such a hateful Nomina! Breaking the alliance and breaking the oath twice in a row, informing the enemy and sabotaging our plan, what a shame! It's disgusting!"
Chang Shu and Yang Shu said at the same time: "Let's go back to our division to fight against Saarhu City, and demand justice from Nomina!"
Ha Sihu thought for a while, and put forward a different opinion: "Sarhu City's strength is not weak. After Nomina has done something wrong, we may not be unprepared and we will fight him - if we rush to fight Thrall Hucheng's words may not necessarily take advantage of it, it's better to fight after making another detailed plan; right now, it's more important to chase Nikan Wailan first, he has his wife, children and belongings, and he can't run fast, it's only two days, we should be very fast Easy to follow!"
After thinking about it for a while, Nurhachi accepted Ha Sihu's opinion: "Let's go after Nikanwailan first, and we will fight another day in Sarhu City..."
Therefore, all the troops followed the escape route of Nikanwailan. According to the confession of the captives and the research and judgment of the geographical location, Nikanwailan ran towards Fushun, and the goal seemed to be passing through Donghekoutai. Cross the border and enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as he got the conclusion of this research and judgment, Nurhachi couldn't help feeling a little anxious: "We have to speed up our pace. If we let him escape into the border of the Ming Dynasty, it will be even more difficult to catch him!"
