【Chapter 567】Liaodong, Nurhachi, prepare to sacrifice to the sky
When he woke up in the morning, Xu Xingxia was refreshed and energetic. Tesna, a woman, is simply a natural stunner and a boudoir treasure. Her biggest characteristic is that she will serve you properly, she wants to die, and she can't stop, but it won't consume too much of your strength. In addition to getting full pleasure, it will not delay the usual work and avoid indulging in alcohol.
While I was having breakfast, the owl came. He routinely sent Xu Xingxia some important information. Xu Xingxia was eating breakfast while flipping through the information. Most of the information, he just skimmed it and had an impression. This information, the Xuan Ying Guard and the war room, are all archived and can be consulted at any time. However, when he reached the last piece of information, he suddenly stopped. Then, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and began to read carefully.
Tesna noticed his strangeness and asked in a low voice, "What?" What's wrong? ”
Xu Xingxia frowned and said: "It was sent from Liaodong, and it was said that it was a wild boar Pinurhachi, and it was ready to sacrifice to the sky." It is said that this time, the movement of the Jurchen Tartars is not small. ”
Tesna said a little strangely: "The Jurchens sacrifice to the sky, what's so strange about this? It is their custom to worship the heavens! They are worshiped every year to show their respect for the gods. It's Lin Dan Khan, Mo Yuegen, they have to sacrifice to the sky every year! ”
Xu Xingxia shook his head lightly and said in a deep voice: "No! This time it's different! ”
What exactly is the difference, he did not say. Because, there are some things that he and Tesna can't explain clearly. He didn't want to explain either. When he saw this information, the first thing he thought of was that Nurhachi sacrificed to the sky, issued the Seven Hatreds, and followed the army against Ming! The situation in Liaodong has been eroded since then, thus dragging the Ming Dynasty into the abyss of destruction.
This information from Xuanyingwei shows that Nurhachi, the leader of the Jurchen Tartars, has ordered the eight banners under his command, all of which are all assembled in Jianzhou Wei (that is, Hetuala, the lair of the Jurchen Tartars), to prepare to sacrifice to the sky. Obviously, this is definitely not a simple act of worshipping the heavens. A simple sacrifice to the heavens does not require all the elites under his command to gather together. It is necessary to assemble the main forces of troops only when preparations are being made for the launch of a military operation. This is the most basic military common sense.
Xu Xingxia doesn't remember very clearly when Nurhachi officially invented the army. He only vaguely remembered that it should be the past year or two. If his appearance does not have a great impact on the situation in Liaodong, Nurhachi's sacrifice to the heavens, the promulgation of the Seven Hatreds, and the rebellion against the Ming will definitely appear. Perhaps people at that time had not yet noticed the impact of this incident. Xu Xingxia is very clear that this is a very far-reaching historical event. It is not an exaggeration to explain that the fate of the dynasty has changed because of this incident.
It is precisely because of the Seven Hatreds that the army rose against the Ming Dynasty that there would be the later failure of Salhu. And it is precisely because of the defeat of Salhu that the national strength of the Ming Dynasty will continue to be consumed in Liaodong, which will eventually lead to the demise of the entire dynasty. And the fall of the Ming Dynasty cheapened the Manchu Tartars. China's history has undergone major changes because of this worship to the heavens.
After reading the information, Xu Xingxia pondered for a moment to calm down his thoughts. Now that he knows about this, he must make some efforts in this matter. Even if it can't change the final result, it can at least make the trajectory of history produce some variation. He called the owl over and asked in a deep voice, "Is there any more detailed information?" ”
The owl said regretfully: "Chairman of the committee, our Xuanyingwei's intelligence branch in Liaodong has just been established, and we can't find out more information yet. This piece of information was intercepted by our brother from the spies of the Jinyi Guard. ”
Xu Xingxia said in a deep voice: "I know." In this case, you go and tell Wang Qinian, and say that it is my order, asking him to increase intelligence penetration in the Liaodong region in the near future and get as much and more accurate information as possible. If necessary, you can buy information directly from Jinyiwei's hands, and I will bear all the costs. ”
"Understood!" The owl agreed.
Tesna asked suspiciously, "Is there going to be a big incident in Liaodong?" ”
Xu Xingxia nodded subconsciously and said in a deep voice: "Yes, it's a big deal." ”
Tesna didn't ask any more questions. She is a very smart woman, and she knows everything she should know and what she shouldn't know. From Xu Xingxia's face, she could feel that this incident must be extraordinary. However, with her wisdom, she really couldn't imagine that in Liaodong, thousands of miles away, there was a leader of a tribe who carried out a sacrifice to the sky, which actually attracted such serious attention from Xu Xingxia. Why is that?
Of course, she couldn't get an answer. Xu Xingxia will not unravel the answer for the time being. For Xu Xingxia, the official rebellion against Ming is certainly not good news. The white-clothed army does not have the ability to extend its power to distant Liaodong. After the defeat of Salhu, the Liaodong region will definitely fall into the hands of the Tartars. When the time comes, there will be one more enemy of the white-clothed army. That is the golden tartar after the boar skin.
Unfortunately, even though he knew that the consequences of this incident were serious, he was unable to alert the imperial court to something now. His current identity is very sensitive, no matter what he says, the court will definitely not believe it. It is estimated that the government and the opposition do not believe that there will be a major incident in the eastern Liaodong region. They are always overconfident in their own strength. Seeing that Salhu was defeated, but he couldn't save him, it was indeed not a taste.
"I'll go out for a walk." Xu Xingxia suddenly stood up and said casually.
When he's in a bad mood, he likes to go for a walk. While moving your body, you can absorb fresh air and feel like your brain will be much clearer. He emerged from the war room and walked slowly along the path. Four female guards followed from a distance. They knew that Xu Xingxia was not in a happy mood, so they naturally wouldn't follow too closely, so as not to be scolded.
Walking and walking, Xu Xingxia inadvertently saw a delicate figure in front of him, vaguely familiar, but he couldn't instantly remember which one she was. He took a closer look, and it was Xiao Zhiqiao. She was dressed in white, standing there pretty, with no one around her. No one knows what she's doing here, and where she's coming from.
Even if the mood is not very good, Xu Xingxia has to admit that this Xiao Zhiqiao is indeed a beauty. Her appearance, figure, and speech can be regarded as superior among the women Xu Xingxia has met. If you exclude the impression score, she and Zhu Zhizhi are almost comparable, and even a little better than Lin Feirong. Of course, Xu Xingxia's impression of her before was not very good, and due to the influence of impression scores, she was slightly worse than Zhu Zhizhi.
Xiao Zhiqiao, the most rare thing about this woman, is the very strange temperament on her body. It stands to reason that she, a woman who is famous for playing the piano, should be born in the dust, and she travels everywhere and makes a living by performing arts, so she should have a strong smell of wind and dust. However, on her body, I couldn't find any smell of wind and dust. She looked pure and immaculate. She is almost no different from ordinary ladies, famous ladies, and ladies. If it weren't for her self-introduction, no one would have imagined that she would be a strange woman who travels all over the world and makes a living by performing arts.
It's strange, why hasn't she left Ningxia Town yet? After she painted herself last time, it seemed that she had already moved away from Zhenyuanguan, as if she was going back to Jiangnan. Why is it here again today? What kind of thing is it that makes her go and come back?
Xu Xingxia stepped forward and asked curiously, "Xiao everyone, why are you still here?" ”
Xiao Zhiqiao naturally sensed that Xu Xingxia had arrived, she saluted Xu Xingxia generously, and said with a smile: "Oh, I still have some things that I need to stay for a few more days." ”
Xu Xingxia said casually: "I don't know what the matter is?" If you need it, please don't hesitate to speak, I am very willing to serve the beauty. ”
Xiao Zhiqiao said euphemistically: "In this matter, I'm afraid that the committee member will not be able to help." ”
Xu Xingxia said with interest: "You might as well talk about it." If you don't say it, how do you know I can't help? In Ningxia Town, there don't seem to be many things I can't help! ”
The corners of Xiao Zhiqiao's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a hint of imperceptible naughty taste, and said meaningfully: "It's still the matter of the eldest lady of the Lin family." The son of the Ye family never forgets the eldest lady of the Lin family, and I, an errand runner, dare not go back so quickly. ”
Xu Xingxia sighed for a moment, and suddenly there were no words. Xiao Zhiqiao's subtle movement at the corner of her mouth, he naturally saw it. He can also understand the meaning of Xiao Zhiqiao's words from this action. Others are telling him euphemistically, you have occupied the mother and daughter of the Lin family, and I, the matchmaker, can't complete the task now, so I have to find a way to shirk my responsibility. In fact, Xiao Zhiqiao's complaint is not unreasonable. Lin Feirong's matter is indeed not in the hands of Mrs. Lin, but in the hands of his Xu Xingxia. He Xu Xingxia doesn't let go, who dares to say anything?
Xiao Zhiqiao smiled and said, "If I stay for a few more days, it can be regarded as a show." ”
Xu Xingxia thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, then, I invite everyone Xiao to sit down?" ”
Xiao Zhiqiao's eyes lit up slightly, and her impression of Xu Xingxia seemed to have changed slightly. She said with a smile: "The chairman of the committee invited, and the little girl didn't dare to disobey." ”
Xu Xingxia nodded and beckoned her to return to her other residence.
In Zhenyuanguan, Xu Xingxia has several footholds. The original operations command room was used for communication and operations, and it was basically used to deal with official affairs. If you want to deal with personal matters, it is not very convenient. Therefore, Tesna chose a few houses in a more remote place as a place for Xu Xingxia to deal with private affairs. Around these houses, Xu Xingxia's private territory.
Once inside the room, Tesna arrived. She glanced at Xiao Zhiqiao intentionally or unintentionally, served tea to the two of them, and went to the next room.
Xiao Zhi sat down skillfully and said with a smile: "There is Chairman Lao." ”
Xu Xingxia said with a smile: "If everyone Xiao has time, I do want to ask everyone Xiao to stay in Ningxia Town for a few more days." If our army defeats the Tatars and Mongols, it is necessary to invite Xiao everyone to perform on the stage to boost the morale of our soldiers. ”
Xiao Zhiqiao said: "It is a great honor for the little woman to serve the chairman. ”
Xu Xingxia nodded, raised his wine glass, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, we have decided like this." When the time comes, Xiao everyone, don't miss the appointment! ”
Xiao Zhiqiao raised her wine glass, tasted it lightly, and said with a smile: "Definitely not." ”
Xu Xingxia put down his wine glass, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Xiao everyone, I don't know if there is any special news about Liaodong?" ”
Xiao Zhiqiao said with some surprise: "Liaodong? Special news? ”
Xu Xingxia glanced at her and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Patriarch Xiao is good at dancing, has vast magical powers, and is omnipotent. Since everyone Xiao has such deep connections in Shanxi, they won't have no connections at all in Liaodong, right? Unless Xiao wants to cherish himself and refuses to say it. ”
Xiao Zhiqiao straightened her face slightly, and said cautiously: "Chairman, don't fight with the little girl." On the Shanxi side, the little woman has a family in her, and she does have some connections. However, in Liaodong, the little woman is not familiar with her life, where do she have any connections? I don't know what the chairman of the committee suddenly meant when he asked about Liaodong? ”
Xu Xingxia smiled, sloppy eyes, and said with a smile: "No matter what, I thank everyone Xiao." The medicine you sent is very much needed by our white-clothed army. I also hope that we will cooperate more in the future and send more medicines to our army. ”
Xiao Zhiqiao said with a smile on her face: "Why worry about it? ”
The topic suddenly changed, and he continued to ask unrelentingly: "I don't know what the chairman of the committee means when he asks about Liaodong?" What happened in the eastern Liaodong region? ”
Xu Xingxia pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Liaodong is about to be in turmoil, don't you feel it?" It is said that Nurhachi of the Houjin Kingdom is ready to make some moves. ”
Xiao Zhiqiao frowned and said, "Won't it?" There are 100,000 troops in Liaodong, and there is also Yang Hao's governor to suppress it, what kind of storm can the Houjin Nu really set off? Isn't it just to sacrifice to the heavens? ”
Xu Xingxia's expression moved slightly, and he asked slowly: "Xiao, do you know Governor Yang Hao?" ”
Xiao Zhiqiao said with a smile: "How can the little woman know Governor Yang? He is a big man in the sky, how can he have contact with someone like a little girl? The little woman just knows a little bit about him through other people's mouths. ”
Xu Xingxia nodded thoughtfully. He can be sure that Xiao Zhiqiao must have something to do with Liaodong. This relationship may even be the relationship between Yang Hao, the governor of Liaodong. Because, Xiao Zhiqiao actually knew that Nurhachi was preparing to sacrifice to the sky in Liaodong. And this news, in the current Ningxia Town, only a very few people know. He, Xu Xingxia, had just received the news. This fully shows that behind Xiao Zhiqiao, there must be a very flexible intelligence network.
