Wanli 1592

Chapter 613 Dog and Wolf

The conflict between Nurhachi and the Jurchen ministries is still very big. The battle in which his father and grandfather died earlier was caused by the conflicts within the Jurchen, and the Ming Dynasty intervened in the war. In that war, Li Chengliang was the absolute master. .

Nurhachi lost his father and ancestors when he was young. It is impossible to say that there is no hatred in his heart, but it is hard to say how much of this hatred is on the Ming army and Li Chengliang. However, compared with the surrounding nomadic fishing and hunting peoples, the Han nationality The love between father and son and mother and daughter must be deeper in the Han nationality.

There are many factors of cultural heritage and social environment.

However, the nomads, fishermen and hunters themselves have a low level of civilization, and they don't pay as much attention to the education of their offspring as the Han people. They don't have a relevant social environment, and they even have the custom of being noble, strong, and old. How much affection does this family have? It is difficult to explain.

Anyway, it is definitely not as important as your own life.

Nurhaci still hated the other Jurchen tribes who set off the rebellion that killed his grandfather and father, and he had successfully killed his enemy before, and after that war, he forged a new one. enemies.

There are more and more enemies, and his strength is also growing. Soon, his ambition appeared and swelled up, eager to obtain greater benefits. As for revenge for his father, it was just a ridiculous cover, Nurhachi estimated. I don't believe it myself.

His behavior pattern is completely profit-oriented, and his relationship with the surrounding Jurchen tribes is also very poor. Everyone is hostile to each other, sometimes attacks each other, and sometimes cooperates with each other, transforming to a higher level of struggle, and accepting it deeply. Nurhachi, who has been influenced by the culture of the Han nationality, is undoubtedly a high-level player, and other Jurchen savages in the deep mountains and old forests are low-level players.

While other impoverished small tribes were still using bone products, leather products and wooden sticks as weapons, his small tribe had already started to use iron weapons. He used iron weapons to burn, kill, loot and grow.

The Ming history compiled by the Qing Dynasty summarizes Nurhachi's development as "thirteen sets of armor at the beginning, and all the equipment depends on robbing", but Nurhachi himself should be very clear about how much Li Chengliang contributed to his earliest victory in opening up base areas, How much of his iron equipment was secretly funded by Li Chengliang.

So even now, he is very clear that his strength is considered to be in the middle among the major Jurchen tribes, but he is definitely not the strongest one, there are others stronger than him, just saying that he has a better situation and better materials source and better reliance.

Li Chengliang needs a dog to stabilize the situation in Liaodong and balance the forces of all parties. He needs this dog to be a Jurchen, but he is obedient. Nurhachi is that dog.

Of course, the dog is dissatisfied with the master's domineering, but if the dog breaks away from the master's protection and even bites back before it grows strong enough to transform into a wolf, then once the angry master instructs other wild dogs to attack angrily and bite Him, can he still survive?
It’s hard to say, it’s really hard to say. At this time, Nurhachi is far from being able to stand against Li Chengliang in history or even force Li Chengliang to compromise. Or it should be said that this year, the 26th year of Wanli, should have been the fate of Nurhachi. turning point.

Because this year was supposed to be the year of Li Rusong's death.

Li Rusong's death was an opportunity for Nurhachi to break free from the cage and start to develop his own power. At the time, Li Chengliang was not in Liaodong, and Li Rumei and Li Rubai had no ability to provoke Liaodong. Therefore, Li Chengliang could only be allowed to rule Liaodong for the second time three years after Li Rusong's death. .

But at that time, Li Chengliang was already 76 years old, and he was so depressed that it was difficult to cheer up, and Nurhaci's road to unify Jurchen had already started.

The Li family raised Nurhachi because they wanted to raise a dog, and they had a way to control Nurhachi with a dog-beating stick in their hands, but the sky failed, and there are always so many unpredictable things in the world.

When Li Chengliang realized that it would be too late if he didn't beat the dog, he took a look at the dog-beating stick and drank, the dog turned into a wolf, and he dared to bark his teeth and talk to him about conditions.

The Li family's control over the Jurchen has always been to kill the strongest and let the next one continue to fight internally, and kill whoever looks at the rising trend, and continue to balance. This is how Wang Gao was killed. This is the death of Nurhachi's father. The historical background of the ancestors, in this way, the fate is really strange and ironic.

But now, the appearance and change of one person has caused unpredictable changes in Nurhachi's take-off. Nurhachi was dragged in the quagmire of war and could not develop, and the two upgrades were abruptly interrupted. This made Nurhachi feel depressed and uncomfortable , Several times I wanted to quit, but I didn't dare to bear the consequences of doing so.

He didn't even dare to provoke Li Rusong, let alone behind Li Rusong there was a stronger Xiao Ruxun, if he quit now, he would probably be killed in an instant, right?
He could only bite the bullet and continue working.

He didn't know that Xiao Ruxun regarded him as a life and death enemy from the very beginning. If he knew, he would be deeply honored, and then he would have a heart attack from fright.

You, the governor of the four sides who holds the power of 10,000+ soldiers and horses, and the governor who controls half of the troops in the nine border towns of the Ming Empire, actually developed hostility and murderous intentions towards me, a small chief of the barbarian tribe with tens of thousands of soldiers. how to liveI didn't betray Daming!

Now he doesn't know what he will do to Daming in the future, nor what his six-year-old son Huang Taiji will do to Daming, let alone his unborn son Dorgon What will it do to Daming and the entire Han nation.

And Xiao Ruxun remembers all this clearly, even though it has gradually become localized, Xiao Ruxun remembers every detail of these things clearly. He knows that at present he cannot directly do anything to Nurhachi, he can only Use this indirect method to contain Nurhachi, but if you want to really eliminate his threat, you must use direct methods.

Naturally, as long as Li Rusong is still around, Nurhachi will not be able to jump up, because Li Rusong can not only beat dogs, but also wolves, and even dare to kill tigers. Li Rusong is really too strong.

As long as Li Rusong survives, Nurhachi will not be able to jump up. As long as Li Rusong is still guarding Liaodong, Nurhachi will always be a dog, not even a wolf.

Of course, it would be better for this guy to die.

Xiao Ruxun has never let down his vigilance and observation of Nurhachi. After a long period of observation, he realized that Nurhachi's success is definitely not accidental. Nurhachi's own hard work and tenacity of character are the main factors of his success.
