After listening to Gao Shishi's words, Liu Xin sighed and said, "I suddenly feel now that the Holy Dependents are both your support and your shackles. ”

Gao pragmatic looked out the window and was silent without answering.

Seeing this, Liu Xin said to herself: "Because of the Holy Family, you can do a lot of things that ordinary people dare not do, but also because of the Holy Family, you don't dare to do many things that ordinary people dare to do." ”

Gao Pragmatic still didn't answer, just silently watched the winter raindrops outside the window ticking on the water surface of Shichahai.

"But I think some of your worries are unnecessary." Liu Xin looked at his back and pouted: "Just like this time, you are worried that because you have accepted one of Ye He's qualifications, the emperor will suspect that your elbow is turned outward, but in fact, this is unreasonable." ”

Gao Pragmatic finally tilted his head slightly and asked, "Why?" ”

Liu Xin asked, "Who do you think is your own person in the eyes of the emperor?" Does Tusi count as his own person, does the outer domain such as Tumut count as his own person, and does the feudal domain such as Ye He count as his own person? ”

Gao pragmatically replied: "I think that the Tusi in the eyes of the emperor is probably half of his own people, and Tumut is also half of his own people at present, Ye He's words...... At most, a third of his own people. ”

"Okay, then I'll ask you again." Liu Xin continued to ask: "After Mrs. Zun married you, does the emperor still regard the Huang family's toast as half an outsider?" ”

Gao was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "This is not comparable, because the Huang family toast was relocated to Annan by me as a whole, and now it even continues to be dispersed." ”

Liu Xin shook her head and said, "That's two different things, but it doesn't affect my question: if the emperor thinks that she is already his own, then the Huang family's toast is at least not a threat in his eyes, right?" ”

Gao pragmatic frowned and said: "If you want to say that there is no threat, even if you are your own people, then it should indeed be like this, I think the emperor will at least not worry about the Huang family's Tusi rebelling now." ”

"Wonderful, you see, if you marry Huang Zhiting, the emperor will not worry about the Huang rebellion. So in other words, if you also accept Ye He's Gege, will Ye He not rebel? Liu Xin spread his hands and said, "At least I think the emperor will think so." ”

But Gao Shishi disagreed, shook his head and said: "These two things are obviously different, the biggest difference is that although the leader of the Huang family is a family Yue, Zhiting is the real speaker of the Huang family." On the other hand, Ye He's people are the East and West Beilen Nalimbulu and Buzhai, and although Meng Gu Zhezhe has a status in Ye He, he has no influence on Ye He's major affairs. ”

Liu Xin frowned and said, "The toast can be handled by a woman, but can't the Jurchens?" ”

"It seems like it can't, at least I haven't seen it." Gao replied pragmatically.

Liu Xin thought for a moment and asked, "But their Yehe branch itself was formed by the Mongols migrating and mixing with the Jurchens, and they should also keep some of the customs of the Mongols." ”

Gao pragmatic asked: "You mean the heroine regent?" ”

"That's right."

"Then it's not Menggu Zhezhe's turn." Gao Shishi shook his head: "For example, Ye He, if Narimbulu and Buzhai are suddenly dead now, then the person who inherits their position is their son, and if there is no son, then the nephew will be on top." If both sons and nephews are too young, there can indeed be a 'regent', but the choice is the wife of both of them.

Of course, if the biological mother of the son who is in office is not the wife, it is also possible that because of some internal strife, he will eventually stand out from the position of concubine and become the regent. But in any case, this matter has nothing to do with the 'aunt' of Meng Gu Zhezhe. ”

"How so?" Liu Xin said a little incomprehensibly: "A foreign surname can be a regent, but a person from my own family can't be a regent?" ”

"Your understanding of your foreign surname and family is a bit problematic, and your position is probably still from our era." Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "Now it's the water spilled by the married daughter, no matter what the surname of Nalin Bulu and Buzhai's wife is, she is a member of Ye He's family, and even her mother's family will only think about making some benefits at most, and will not think of stealing Ye He's inheritance." ”

Liu Xin did have a modern thinking that affected her judgment, and when she heard this, she understood it, and suddenly said: "Oh, yes, just like after Mrs. Zun marries you, she has to stand in your position to deal with those matters related to the Huang family in southern Xinjiang, and even took the initiative to break up the Huang family's 'separation', so as not to be too strong in a certain area - am I right?" ”

Gao pragmatic smiled bitterly: "That's probably what it means." ”

Liu Xin thought for a while and muttered: "In other words, because Meng Gu Zhezhe has no influence on Ye He, even if she is accepted by you as a concubine, Ye He's actions are still very free, and she will not be constrained by this, right?" ”

Gao pragmatically nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly the case." And she can only be a concubine, Ye He really wants to have something, and he won't care too much about her relationship. In other words, for the emperor, my concubine Meng Gu Zhezhe does not have any positive impact on the overall situation, but there are some negative effects, such as Ye He may rely on my name to dominate the Jurchens, which is a big deal in the emperor's eyes. ”

Liu Xin was a little skeptical: "Ye He can dominate the Jurchen just by virtue of your name and power?" I'm afraid Nurhachi isn't so easy to talk to. ”

"I know how powerful Nurhachi is, you know, but the emperor may not know." Gao pragmatically shook his head and said: "In the emperor's opinion, the current situation is that Nurhachi's strength is inferior to Yehe: Yehe has nearly 20,000 soldiers, and Nurhachi is only 7,000; Ye He has Beiguan in hand, and because of the decline of Hada, they are already the de facto commercial overlords of Beiguan.

If you want to say that Nurhachi currently has something more than Yehe in the eyes of the emperor, then I'm afraid it only has an official position, but does this thing make sense to the emperor? No. The official position can be given to him immediately if he wants to, and he can take it off immediately if he wants to. ”

Liu Xin frowned and said: "So, if you want to support Ye He, but you also laughed at the Gege sent by Ye He, and the emperor thinks that Ye He is stronger than Nurhachi now, then he will think that you have an abnormal position because of the 'bribe', right?" ”

"That's right, that's what it means." After going around for a long time, I finally made this trouble clear, and Gao Pragmatic was also relieved.

Liu Xin thought about it for a while, and felt that Gao Shishi's words were not unreasonable, so he asked: "When did Nurhachi's strength beat Ye He in the previous history?" ”

Gao pragmatic said: "Actually, it's hard to say when, I can only tell you that from the 'performance' point of view, Nurhachi's victory over Yehe was in the twenty-first year of Wanli. ”

"Performanceally?" Liu Xin understood and asked, "That year, the two of them fought?" ”

"Fighting, Ye He, as the leader of the alliance, gathered nine coalition forces to attack Nurhachi." Gao replied pragmatically.

Liu Xin smiled: "It seems that Ye He has suffered a loss in this battle." ”

"It's not just a loss, the Nine Coalition Forces are defeated and lost, and Nurhachi is powerful and Jurchen."

Liu Xin was stunned and said: "This year is already the winter of the fifteenth year of Wanli, and Nurhachi will be able to develop to the level of covering the nine coalition forces in five or six years?" How did this happen, could it be that the trade center at that time had been transferred from the North and South Customs to the Fushun Pass? ”

Gao pragmatically shook his head and said: "Not yet, but before the outbreak of the war, the situation was already precarious for Ye He. Nurhachi found it too difficult to compete directly with the North and South Passes, so he made a detour and successively sent troops to defeat the Yalu River and Changbai Mountain, so as to control the origin of many commodities, such as ginseng and mink.

In this way, Ye He naturally couldn't bear it, because no matter how great the geographical location advantage of the North and South Passes was, it would be useless if he couldn't receive the goods, so at the beginning, the Haixi Jurchen Beylers first planned to restrict Nurhachi by marrying, but they all failed to work for one reason or another, of course, the main reason was that Nurhachi was unwilling to be restricted.

If the soft one doesn't work, the hard one will come, and then the Hercynian tribes led by Narimbulu blackmailed Nurhachi several times, trying to coerce him to cede land to limit the expansion of the state, but apparently Nurhachi also sternly refused. ”

Liu Xin smiled: "Oh, I don't have to talk about it, so I have to fight." ”

"That's right." Gao pragmatic nodded and said: "At this time, in June of the twenty-first year of Wanli, the Ming army is fighting in Korea, and there is no time to deal with the Jurchens, and the Jurchens can have revenge and revenge.

Ye He saw that the coercion and intimidation were ineffective, so he entangled the soldiers of Hada, Ula, and Huifa to rob Hubucha Village in Jianzhou. When Nurhachi heard the news, he led his troops to come, and when he pursued him to the village of Fuerjiaqi, the territory of Hada, he met the Hada soldiers under the command of Hada Bel Mengebulu.

In this battle, Nurhachi himself hoped to lead the enemy into an ambush. At this time, the pursuers approached, and Nurhachi shot an arrow into the belly of one of the pursuers. But suddenly, Nurhachi's horse was frightened and almost fell to the ground, and three Hada cavalrymen took advantage of the situation and slashed at Nurhachi. Fortunately, Nurhachi's general, Anferyangu, appeared in time and killed the three of them.

Nurhachi sat down and struck Mengebulu's mount with an arrow, and Mengebulu fled on the horses of his men. So the battle of Furjiaqi ended with Nurhachi's victory. ”

Liu Xin pursed her mouth: "This is not the battle of the Nine Divisions, let me guess...... Is this an appetizer? ”

"Naturally, this is just an appetizer, and Mengebulu can't beat Nurhachi now, and even less in five or six years." Gao Shishi sighed and continued: "About three months after this battle, with Yehebel Nalimbulu and Buzhai as the leaders of the alliance, a total of 30,000 troops from nine alliances, including Hadabel Mengebulu and Ulabelle Mantai and his younger brother Buzhantai, Huifa Belle Baiyindari, Mongolian Horqin Beyl Ming'an, and Xibe, Guaercha, Changbai Mountain Jurchen Zhusheli and Neyin, marched to Jianzhou.

When Nurhachi learned about it, he went to bed after arranging defensive fortifications such as rolling logs and stones according to the terrain. His wife, Fucha, thought that he was afraid of the square inch because of fear, and hurriedly woke him up. But Nurhachi said, 'When a man is afraid, he sleeps, but he does not sleep; Am I afraid, can I sleep soundly? When I heard that Ye Hebing was coming to invade in three ways, I thought about it because there was no time limit. After that, I am relieved to ......, and Nurhachi sleeps in peace. ”

Liu Xin couldn't help but smile and said: "Nurhachi's words are also reasonable, I know that the other party wants to beat me, but he didn't make a move, I can only be vigilant from time to time, and my mood is naturally nervous." When he does make a move, I just need to see the move, but there is no need to be nervous...... And then what? ”

Then the next day, Nurhachi sent Wu Likan to reconnoiter and capture one of Yehe's scouts. After interrogation, it was revealed that there were 30,000 enemies.

Nurhachi was expanding a lot of land at that time, but it took time to integrate, and he didn't necessarily have to trust it for a while, so he still only had about 10,000 soldiers and horses. Having three times his own strength made Jianzhou look uncomfortable, but Nurhachi believed that although the opponent had many men and horses, there were many leaders, and the dispatch was chaotic, and he could defeat his leaders if they wounded one or two of them.

The nine-part coalition army successively besieged the city of Zakha and the city of Heizige, but they were all defeated, and were blocked by the many obstacles and fortifications set up by the Jianzhou army along the way, and they marched to the foot of Gule Mountain like several long snakes.

The next day, Nurhachi led his troops and horses to set up a formation, and Narimbulu and Buzhai led the coalition forces to besiege him. Nurhachi also went to meet the enemy and temporarily contained the vanguard of the coalition forces.

Enraged by Eyidu's challenge, Buzhai swung his sword and drove the horse to fight, but the luck of this guy was so bad that the horse tripped over a crosswood, and Buzhai fell to the ground, and the soldiers of Jianzhou took advantage of the situation to sit on him and kill him.

Seeing that his brother had been killed in battle, Narimbulu fainted in a fit of rage, and the Yeh soldiers fell into confusion, so they collected the corpse of the cloth and rescued Narimbulu and fled.

When the other Baylor and Taiji saw that the two alliance leaders were dead and fled, they were naturally demoralized and retreated. Korqin Belemingan's horse was lost, and in a panic, he changed to a bareback horse and galloped wildly.

The Jianzhou army swarmed down from the hill and took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, and the coalition army was defeated, and Buzhantai, the brother of Ulabelemantai, was also captured. The Jianzhou army pursued all the way to the territory of the Huifa Department more than 100 miles away. When it was dark, Nurhachi collected his troops and returned to the city. ”

Liu Xin shook his head when he heard this: "Buzhai is stupid and back, if his own troops are at a disadvantage, he can boost morale by going to battle in person, in order to achieve a big victory like a turnaround." But he actually chose to take risks to fight under the advantage of troops, which is a bad brain.

At this moment, he should sit in the middle army with peace of mind, just like you commanded the battle, and let the generals below fight. If he wins, he will naturally command well, and even if he loses, it will be because his subordinates or allies are not fighting effectively, and it is none of his business as the leader of the alliance. As a result, he wanted to go out to fight, not to mention his own life, but also affected the entire coalition army, which is the so-called lack of success and more than failure. ”

Gao Pragmatic didn't bother to evaluate Buzhai's performance in history, but said: "Nurhachi can be regarded as a real fame in World War I, 'the military power is shocked, and it is far away'." The Ming Dynasty was busy fighting with the Japanese at this time, so he could only acquiesce in the self-attack between the Jurchens, and even promoted him to the governor of Jianzhou Zuodu and the general of Longhu in order to ensure the pacification of Liaodong, while Nurhachi called himself 'the master of the Jurchen State Jianzhou Guard'.

In the same year, Nurhachi defeated the Nine Coalition forces with the remnants of Gulshan's victory. He ordered the three generals of Yidu and Kagai to lead their troops to attack the Buddha and the mountain city of Nayin, and the road chief searched and stabilized Sekesh, and conquered the Zhusheli tribe by the way, plus the Yalu River tribe that had been conquered earlier, Nurhachi completely included the Changbai Mountain Jurchens into his rule.

So far, Nurhachi has been raising troops for ten years, and 'all the tribes living around Manchuria are flattened', although the Haixi Jurchen tribes have been defeated, they are also Nurhachi's only opponents in the Jurchens, and in terms of strength and prestige, Nurhachi has already occupied a comprehensive advantage. ”

Liu Xin frowned and said, "According to what you said, it will take five or six years for Nurhachi to occupy such an advantage—I mean an advantage that even the emperor can see, and it will not be obvious before that." So if you want to support Ye Heben, it is very difficult, and it is even more inappropriate to take a concubine Meng Gu Zhezhe? ”

"Yes."

Liu Xin shook his head and said: "No, since Huang Taiji is so powerful, I still think it's best to strangle him, this kind of person is to make trouble for himself in the future." ”

Gao pragmatic said: "What's more troublesome is that now Nurhachi has a criminal evidence sent to the door, but I want to continue to win over Shulhaqi, this time to give Shulhaqi a face." Coupled with the financial constraints of the imperial court, the Ming Dynasty will not go to crusade against Nurhachi now. ”

Liu Xin's eyes lit up and said, "Then can you explain to the emperor with the evidence of Nurhachi's crime?" ”

Gao was stunned for a moment: "What to explain?" ”

"Explain why you want to take Menggu Zhezhe as a concubine." Liu Xin said with great interest: "Nurhachi is obviously a wolf, and Ye He has just received the great favor of the Ming Dynasty, plus once Ye He fully surrenders, he can also launch an attack on Chahar in Liaobei in the future - this is in line with the great power policy of the Eastern System." ”
