Mizhi County, Shaanxi.

Outside the county, by the Wuding River.

Quite a large group of people are in this clearing.

Or a few, or a dozen, or dozens of people gathered together, all discussing something.

"Hu'er, what do you say about being an official? Why didn't my mother understand, why is there a lot more land this year......" The kind old woman hurriedly asked, this year it seems that there are more places to go than last year, the old woman didn't hear clearly for a while, and hurriedly asked, the choice at this moment may affect the fate of this family for a lifetime, and even the next few generations, so you should choose extra carefully.

"Mother, Lord Zhang said, there are more places to choose this year than in previous years, you can go down to the Ryukyus like last year, you can also go to Liaodong, you can also go to the west exit, if you want to go to Beijing to work, you can also ......, Lord Zhang said, as long as you are willing to go, the government is responsible for arranging, Lord Zhang also said, where to go, one is to see whether you are willing to go; Second, look at whether it is suitable for your own home......" said the young stout man immediately.

"Oh, that's right! Is there any difference between these places? Isn't it all arranged by the government? Can you choose for yourself? The old woman hurriedly asked, looking a little nervous, this moment is to choose fate.

"Mother, Lord Zhang said, if you drag your family, there are old and young, the family has a large population, and you want to live a comforting life, you can go down to Ryukyu, and when you get there, every family will divide the land, as long as you are diligent, you will never be hungry; If you are not afraid of death, if you have the guts, you can go to Liaodong to try, it is more dangerous than the Ryukyus, and now the imperial court is still fighting with the Tartars, and when you go to Liaodong, you are afraid that you will have to learn to touch the fire gun before you can release it......" The young and strong man hurriedly explained, telling the good and bad of these places.

"Do you have to learn to touch the fire gun first? Isn't that to learn to shoot first? ......The old woman interrupted her son's words when she heard this, and as she interrupted, she looked at her daughter-in-law and then at her granddaughter. There was a lot of uneasiness in his eyes. Their son is a man, and the others are women and children, and it seems that Liaodong is not suitable for their family.

"Mother, let's not go to Liaodong...... "The son saw that his mother was embarrassed, and immediately said.

"Hu'er is right, Liaodong still won't go. We are the only man in our family, so we should find a stable place to live......" The old woman said quickly.

Thus saith the son of his mother. I am ready to settle down and take a safer path.

The daughter-in-law on the side interjected: "That...... Boss, what happened to entering Beijing? The daughter-in-law said with some expectations.

"Oh...... I heard Mr. Zhang say that you can work and feed people when you enter Beijing. It is suitable for those with a relatively small family population, it is easier to feed with fewer people, and people can't starve to death when they work, or they can do a period ......of work, and then they can go to Liaodong, anyway, there will always be a ...... to work there. Oh, by the way, and the west exit, Mr. Zhang said. This is the closest to home, if you don't want to go far away, you can go to the west exit, but going to the west exit is more painful and tiring, and if you don't have the ability, don't go...... "The sturdy young man quickly explained.

"Mother, why don't we go to the capital first......" The young woman may be full of hope for entering Beijing, and looks at her mother-in-law with some expectations.

"......" The old woman was silent, this matter. It was not a woman's turn to intervene, and she wanted to reprimand her daughter-in-law. But think about it, my man is gone. is also a son, in fact, this family is also half of the family, and the woman is in charge, so she did not reprimand her daughter-in-law.

“…… If it is according to the mother's meaning, our family is relatively thin, not as many as the family, it is better to seek stability, it is better to go down to the Ryukyus, equal to dozens of acres of land, our family can also live a peaceful life for a few years, and have children in the future, it is also good to spread the branches, it is also worthy of the ancestors, and it is not in vain to go through this world......" The old woman thought for a while, and finally expressed her meaning, not wanting to reprimand her daughter-in-law, but it does not mean that she has no own ideas.

"Mother......" the young woman pleaded.

The sturdy man also seemed to be embarrassed, his mother wanted to go down to Ryukyu, and his daughter-in-law wanted to enter Beijing, he was sandwiched between the two ends, and it was not easy to help anyone, on one side was his mother, and on the other hand was Chu Chu's poor daughter-in-law, so he had to pretend not to see it.

In this huge crowd, everyone was talking about each other enthusiastically, and the words were full of hope and enthusiasm, constantly asking each other where they were going, and analyzing the good and bad of the Quartet. …,

The family is struggling with where to go. Someone came to inquire.

"Old sister-in-law, is your family going to Ryukyu or Liaodong? Or take the west exit? Or into Jingwo? An old man also asked this family with a good-natured smile, he may be more familiar with this family, and he knew that this family was the master of the mother, so he asked the old woman directly.

"Our family ......" the old woman smiled kindly, a little embarrassed.

“…… Hu'er, look, where is our family going? This kind old woman is also in a dilemma now, this year can choose more places than in previous years, a little picky, she wants to go to the Ryukyus to live a stable life, the daughter-in-law wants to go to Beijing to see the world of flowers, the old woman has to fight for her son's opinion.

"Mother, let's ......" The son is also embarrassed, the mother wants to go down to the Ryukyus, the daughter-in-law wants to enter Beijing, and he is not good to help that side, to be honest, he wants to break into Liaodong more, the man always has a bloody nature, and he wants to prove that he is a man who stands up to the sky.

The family was embarrassed, had different opinions, and happened to be bumped into by outsiders.

"Alas, his eldest brother, where are your family going?" The old woman also knew something, and hurriedly asked about the situation of the visitor to avoid the embarrassment of her own family.

"Our family! Alas...... It's a long story...... "The old man who came to inquire also saw that the family's opinions were different, he came at the wrong time, and was about to leave, when he heard the old woman ask about his own situation, he immediately became interested, and he didn't plan to leave, so he was ready to say."

“…… Our boss! I arranged for him, let him go to Ryukyu, they have a lot of families, seven or eight people of all sizes open their mouths to eat, and they don't find a place to feed themselves and let him run around? It is only in the lower Ryukyus that there is so much land that can afford to support their family......" As soon as the old man's chatterbox was opened, he immediately gushed endlessly, and seemed to be very complacent about his own arrangement.

"Big brother, you are right, there are too many people in your family, so many mouths, you even have to drink more water than others. It's better to go down to the Ryukyus...... "The old woman immediately chatted with the old man, maybe it would be a good reference to inquire about the choices of other people's families, but she threw aside the small friction she had just had.

"The old sister-in-law is right, the land that harvests three crops a year is enough for the eldest family to chew. This foodie knows how to be raw. Fortunately, there is a saint tomorrow now, otherwise, it would not be a life of starvation......" Although the old man was saying that the boss was not, his words were full of pride. The old man found the person to chat with and immediately pulled up the routine.

"His eldest brother was right. Now it's all up to the Holy Son to save my life, otherwise, I don't know how many people will starve to death this year...... What about the second family? Where is his eldest brother going to let him go? It seems that his eldest brother is not ready to let the second family go to Ryukyu? The old woman asked hurriedly.

"Ahem...... this second family! Speaking of which, it's similar to your family. The people are not as prosperous as the old family, and he is also a restless lord, clamoring to enter Beijing, and refusing to go to Ryukyu with the old family. said that he was going to see what Liulizhai was, that he was going to see the emperor, and that he must kowtow to the emperor so as to repay the emperor's kindness......" The old man said with emotion.

"Alas......, then is your second family going to Ryukyu or entering Beijing?" The old woman hurriedly asked.

"Ahem, aren't you following him? Can't you stop it? It's okay to open his eyes and talk about it. We also want to go to Beijing to see the imperial city and kowtow to the emperor. This man! We still can't forget our roots, the emperor is good to us. We can't forget,...... Uh, by the way, also look at the glass Zhai, they all say that it is a street made of glass, how much silver does it cost...... if you can see a strange thing, this life is not in vain......" The more the old man spoke, his eyes became more and more ercareless, and his mind seemed to have already arrived in the capital.

"That's it! ......" the old woman muttered, the flower world in the capital, although she also wants to see, and also wants to kowtow to the emperor, but she wants to live a peaceful and stable life, to the flower world, this daughter-in-law will inevitably ......, thinking about it, and then looked at the daughter-in-law, all said that the mother-in-law of Mizhi, the Han of Suide, this daughter-in-law is the authentic Aunt Mizhi, entered Beijing, to the world of flowers, this ......

"Old sister-in-law! In my opinion, the situation of your family is similar to that of my second family, the population is not large, and it is easy to work and feed in Beijing, so it is better to go to the capital to see it, go to see the imperial city, kowtow to the son of Shengming, and make a wish, and also see what the glass street is, and it is not a ...... in vain to come to this world, the old brother has no choice, in order to take care of the children of the old family, I have to follow the old family to the Ryukyu ......, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to kowtow to the son of the saint tomorrow in this life, and I will not see the glass street for the rest of my life...... "The old man said regretfully. …,

When the old man said this, he moved the young woman's heart even more, and her expression seemed to be more expectant.

"This ......," the old woman hesitated.

The old man's words also seemed to make the sturdy young man moved, and there seemed to be a yearning in his expression, which showed that his mother hesitated, so it was difficult to speak.

"Sister-in-law, according to my brother, your family is really better to enter Beijing, my third child is also ready to enter Beijing to try his luck, to see if he can be admitted to the new army, ready to carry a gun for the son of Shengming, uh......, we also know the roots, if you want to go to the capital, you can just be a companion, you can take care of each other......" The old man said the purpose of his coming this time, their family has been divided, the family has a large population, in order to feed the family, ready to go down to the Ryukyus, the old man has to take care of the children, and is also ready to follow the Ryukyus, and the other two, is ready to enter Beijing, since they want to separate their families, and from then on they will go their separate ways, so naturally they are not at ease, and it is easy to understand that they will find a trustworthy family as a companion.

The ...... old woman was even more embarrassed, seeing that her daughter-in-law, son, and even this old neighbor were expecting her to enter Beijing, she couldn't say a word.

The young daughter-in-law was a little anxious, this moment was the moment to decide the fate of their family, and it was also the moment to decide her fate, although she was already a mother, but she also had her own ideas, and they all said that there was a richest man in the Ming Dynasty in the capital who was a woman, and she was in charge of thousands of silver for the son of Shengming, and she was a first-class strong woman. She is also envious, curious, and faintly has the dream of a strong woman, this dream used to be really a dream, but now it is different, now the great migration, just have the opportunity to enter Beijing, just have a chance to change her fate, she wants to seize this opportunity, since God sent the opportunity to her. No matter what, she's going to catch it. Seeing that her mother-in-law was still hesitating about her fate, she also had an idea.

"Grandma, Niuniu wants to see Glass Street, to see the emperor, to kowtow to the emperor......"

The child's milky words. Broke the silence of the old woman.

"Alas, Niu Niu is ......," the old woman heard her granddaughter's cry. woke up from the hesitation, and immediately picked up his granddaughter and coaxed.

"Mother! Don't you often say that you can't forget your roots? Our family has received the great favor of the Holy Son of Heaven, and we can't fail to repay it! We are ordinary people, and we can't see the emperor. But kowtowing to the emperor from afar can always be done,...... Mother, let's be human ......" Seeing this, the sturdy young man immediately said that he also hoped to enter Beijing, just as the old man said. They have few families, it is easier to support themselves by working, and it is more suitable to go to the capital, and he also wants to enter the capital to open his eyes.

"Alas. It's good, you really can't forget your roots, and the kindness of the Holy Son of Heaven can't be repaid, since that's the case, then let's go to Beijing...... "The elderly woman finally couldn't resist the opinions of the whole family, and finally decided to choose to work in Beijing, as for the future, she can't care so much. It's all about creation.

"Yes, old sister-in-law. Then our second and third families will be handed over to you. You are an elder, and you have an opinion, go to the capital, I bother you to take care of it, they are still young, ignorant ......" the old man immediately said happily, he wanted to go to Ryukyu with the old family, the second and third families did not have an old man in charge, he was not at ease, so he had to come to ask this family.

"His eldest brother can rest assured, they all know the roots, and they can take care of it, so naturally they can't ignore it......" The old woman may be more assertive and capable, since she has decided to enter Beijing, she will not hesitate to agree to the old man's request.

"Then thank you, old sister-in-law......" the old man thanked him warmly.

Seeing that her mother-in-law finally decided to enter Beijing, her daughter-in-law finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This huge crowd constantly emitted all kinds of laughter, and from the laughter, you can feel the calmness of the crowd, and you can feel that the crowd is full of confidence and expectation.

Lower Ryukyu or Liaodong, or go to the west, or go to Beijing to work, these choices have become a hurdle in the lives of these people, and this moment is a moment to choose fate.

This group of people is choosing their own fate, and they are also choosing their fate for the Ming Dynasty.

……

Outside the customs.

on the savannah.

Lin Dan Khan received a letter from Huang Taiji and still asked for an alliance.

"Huang Taiji has a letter again, just enough to send it to the Ming Emperor, and I can ask for a lot ......of good things when I think about it," Lin Dan Khan said with a smile, after receiving Huang Taiji's letter, Lin Dan Khan didn't even plan to take a look, so he sent it directly to the Ming Dynasty. The second is that the letter can indeed be exchanged for a lot of good things, so as soon as Huang Taiji's letter came, Lin Danhan immediately smiled. …,

Lin Dan Khan these days, living more comfortably, and Huang Taiji disengaged from contact, but also out of contact with the Ming Dynasty Jinning, he was finally relieved, although the war is still there, but it is not as fierce as before, the loss is not as big as before, the Ming Dynasty attacked Liaodong, Huang Taiji's energy, finally turned to the Ming Dynasty, and now, he can finally rest. It's like a patient bleeding all over his body, and the bleeding stops slightly.

"Great Khan, let's see what is written first." The minister opened his eyes that day and said.

Lin Danhan frowned, picked up the letter, and looked carefully, the more he looked at it, the higher his brows wrinkled.

After reading it for a while, it is estimated that he has finished reading the letter, and Lin Danhan's face is full of doubts.

"Great Khan, what did Huang Taiji say in his letter?" Na Ri Nai asked, now the wind outside the gate and on the grassland, is extremely weird, that Ri Nai has felt the conspiracy with his intuition for many years, as for what the specific conspiracy is, Na Ri Nai can't see it at all.

Huang Taiji said that he Dajin could not beat the Ming Dynasty, and was ready to sue for peace with the Ming Dynasty, and now he has given up Liaoyang City, if the Ming Dynasty is not satisfied, he is ready to give up his Shengjing to the Ming Dynasty to sue for peace,...... He also asked Ben Khan if he was willing to form an alliance with him, if he was willing to form an alliance with him, he would not be attached to the Ming Dynasty, and he could follow the example of Liu Wu to unite against Cao ...... as in the Three Kingdoms; If Ben Khan is unwilling to form an alliance, he can only belong to the Ming Dynasty, and his family will not be able to resist the Ming Dynasty......" Lin Dan Khan said with a frown, the content of this letter exceeded his expectations.

“…… Sue for peace? ”

"Summing ......?"

In the sweat tent, several people were quite surprised. How big was the hatred between the Ming Dynasty and the Jin? In fact, it is no less than the hatred between them and Huang Taiji, Jin himself got up by stepping on the bones of the Ming Dynasty, and even Nasheng Kyoto is the city of the Ming Dynasty, it is really hard to imagine that the Ming Dynasty will agree to let Huang Taiji return.

“…… Huang Taiji also said that he had returned to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Emperor would definitely assign his Dajin men to fight everywhere,...... The implication is that if he attaches himself to the Ming Dynasty, he will be driven by the Ming Dynasty to fight Ben Khan, so that Ben Khan can do it himself...... "Lin Dan Khan's heart suddenly burst into a nameless fire. This is definitely a threat, it is definitely a threat, Lin Danhan couldn't help but clench his hands.

Lin Dan Khan's remarks surprised several people in the sweat tent, and this alliance letter this time was really beyond people's expectations
