Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 34 Marriage
  It was night, outside Guangning City, the Mongolian trading group camp was brightly lit.

The old man sitting in the top position is called Bater, the fourth banner leader of the Horqin tribe in Mongolia. He is very old and looks drowsy, but the glimmer of light in his eyes from time to time makes people palpitate:
  "Half a month ago, outside Siping Fort, Jianzhou was defeated, leaving corpses all over the mountains and fields, which led to another disagreement in our department's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty. What Baylor meant, this time we entered the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong on the grounds of horse trading. Exploring the actual situation will provide a basis for our department’s subsequent strategies.”

The middle-aged man next to Battle also frowned:

"After observing in the past few days, the Ming Dynasty's towns, forts and guard posts along the line from Guangning to Liaohe are all well-organized and providing mutual assistance. Most of the people have moved to the south of Youtun in Guangning to calm people's hearts, and the military camps and guards are in front. The army is ready to fight. If we fight again, it will be difficult for Jianzhou to win the thunderous victory like Shenyang and Liaoyang. There was a saying in the Ming Dynasty that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Now it seems that this statement is true!"

The words of the two leaders made all the Mongolian men in the tent look solemn.

In fact, from Jiajing and Longqing to the middle and early Wanli period, during such a long period of time, the most threatening people to the Ming Dynasty’s Liaodong territory were always the Mongolian tribes in Monan. It was only after Nurhachi’s Seven Great Hateful Rebellion that the Ming Dynasty launched an army. He looked at Jianzhou Jurchen.

At the same time, due to the struggle between Anda Khan and Lindan Khan, the strength of the Mongolian tribes was weakened year by year, forcing the Horqin tribe, which was constantly moving eastward, to begin to choose a new path for themselves in the new competition for power.

Should he surrender to the Jianzhou Jurchens of Nurhaci, continue to have severe ties with Lin Danhan, who represents Mongolian orthodoxy, or turn to the rich and vast Ming court?

Therefore, this time when they went south to Ma City, Guangning, Liaodong, Battelle and others came with a mission.

"The person I saw in the horse market today should be Wang Qi, the recently famous official of the Ming Dynasty!" Hai Lanzhu, the beautiful woman in the horse market during the day, was also present. At this moment, her voice was clear and beautiful, just like Bai Tian and Wang Qi. The charming and soft-bodied person during the conversation is completely different.

"Little Harizula, do you want to start with Wang Qi?" Battelle looked at this fifteen-year-old girl who was also his goddaughter with a kind face.

"I think that Wang Qi is just a facade, with nothing more than gold and jade. Today I just pretended to be flattering and tried a few things. The disciple immediately looked at me intently, with both eyes reaching into my chest. "Yes," Hai Lanzhu chuckled: "I'm going to make contact with Wang Qi. If I can succeed, I, Horqin, can also get a helping hand to get more actual information about the Ming Dynasty!"

"You can't take personal risks!" The tall and strong man in a narrow blue gown objected: "Hai Lanzhu is still young, just in case..."

"Dogu, you are not the only one who loves Hailanzhu. She is the pearl of all our Horqin people. However, the descendants of my Golden Family are not such delicate flowers. There is nothing that cannot be given up. Besides," Battelle turned to look at Hailanzhu. Lanzhu: "Little Harizhula, you know what's appropriate."

"Don't worry, uncle, I know what to do." Hailanzhu nodded slightly: "Guangning City is only a hundred households in a small city. Even if it becomes the general soldier of Guangning City, it is only worthy of being a plaything in the palm of my hand." "

Hailanzhu has been favored by the entire Horqin tribe since she was a child. Almost all the tribesmen are attracted by this girl who is as bright and beautiful as the stars in the sky. However, Hailanzhu knows that she only belongs to the future Wang Khan of the grassland and the common people of the world. host.

Apart from this, no one can enter its heart.

Wang Qi?

Hai Lanzhu smiled: He's just an ordinary stinky man!

At the same time, thousands of miles away in Shenyang City, Nurhaci, the great Khan of Jianzhou, was temporarily visiting.

In the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, Nurhaci was in a high position, leaning against the throne. He said nothing and kept glancing at Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji. In the hall, there are four Baylors on both sides under the steps. He Heli, Hu Erhan and other honorable ministers followed, followed by Tong Yangxing, Fan Wencheng, Li Yongfang and others. Their auras were a bit strange. No one among the ministers dared to speak. say.

After a long while, Nurhaci finally breathed a sigh of relief and said leisurely: "Two big Belles, leading everyone to fight in the street? My Khan's birthday has just passed, you want to add more excitement and noise, right?"

Nurhaci was like a god in Jianzhou, and no one dared to disobey the Great Khan at this time.

"I don't dare!" Huang Taiji and Fang Guertai both knelt down.

Since half a month ago, during the Battle of Siping, Jianzhou's plan to plot Guangning City failed, the feud between Mang Gurtai and Huang Taiji deepened. Mang Gurtai believed that it was Huang Taiji's ineffective use of troops in Zhenwu Fort that led to The Ming army had an extra force to return to Sipingbao, which in turn tilted the balance of the battle. The forwards were defeated and eventually everything was lost.

But Huang Taiji had his own reasons: his plan to capture Zhenwu Fort had been successful, and the extra Ming army was caused by Mang Gurtai himself. They have been completely wiped out and only a thousand cavalry remain. How much impact can they have on the battle situation?

In the final analysis, Mang Gurtai failed to coordinate the overall situation, which led to the failure, and Huang Taiji reported the situation to the Khan in time, saving Jianzhou from further losses, which actually made a contribution!
  "Now that Dajin has just been established, its foundation is unstable, and all forces are eyeing it. When I am strong, I will flatter you, join in and seek marriage. With a little foreknowledge, I start to show my fangs, hoping to get a piece of the meat. "Nurhachi's voice was low and slow, but seemed to carry unparalleled power:
  "You two are still thinking about fighting among themselves? Have you forgotten the bone-chilling cold between the white mountains and black waters of Hetuala, or have you forgotten the Eight Banners people who died in battles across Liaodong?"

"I have not forgotten! I dare not forget!" Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up. And all the ministers also said in unison that they didn't dare.

"Huang Taiji!"

After a long while, Nurhachi spoke to his eighth son: "In three days, lead the envoy to the Horqin tribe to negotiate a marriage with its prince!"

After Jianzhou captured Shenyang, Nurhachi had been trying to win the support of Lin Danhan and Horqin and other grassland Mongolian forces. However, the defeat more than a month ago made Horqin hesitate. Therefore, Nurhaci made up his mind to let Huang Taiji personally Go and make a trip to finalize the marriage between the two parties.

"My son leads the order!"

Huang Taiji lowered his head, his eyes flashing. If I can marry Princess Horqin, it will be of great help to ascending to the throne in the future!

"Mang Gurtai," Nurhachi turned to look at his fifth son.

"My son, please obey your orders!"

"Lead the 13,000 men of Zhenglan Banner, and Tong Yangxing will lead the 5,000-strong Han army to advance into southern Liaoning and completely wipe out the Ming army entrenched in Pi Island and other places! In order to consolidate our Dajin territory!"

"I have received the order. I am going to plow the court and sweep the holes. I will definitely wipe out the Ming army!"

Nurhachi has been feeling powerless in recent years, and after receiving his destiny, he wants to make more preparations for his lifelong wish.
