Chapter 2645 Gui Zijuan shows both kindness and power, and is included

When Nurhachi woke up from his drowsiness again, he vaguely heard the sound of gunfire and noise coming from outside the tent.

Tightness of breath and heart palpitations made his head feel dizzy, his throat had a fishy smell, his mouth felt bitter, his body was even more deficient in heat, and he felt unspeakably stuffy.

 The remaining heat from the two braziers in the tent was still there, dark red charcoal was looming, and a servant was sitting in a corner with his head lowered.

There is a crack in the big tent door, and you can vaguely see the bright sky outside, and you don't know what time it is.

Nurhachi didn't know how long he had been in a coma. He just felt like his whole body had been drained. He was indescribably lazy and weak. He wanted to cheer up but was unable to do anything.

He tried hard to lift the quilt covering himself, cleared his throat, and called out: "Here comes someone."

The attendant who was still dozing in the tent immediately woke up and came up in surprise: "Khan, are you awake? Are you feeling better?"

Nurhachi ignored the other party's concern and asked directly: "What is so noisy outside? Where are He Heli, Fei Yingdong, and Chu Ying?"

The personal attendant hesitated for a moment and then whispered: "Great Khan, the envoy from the Great Zhou Dynasty is here. Da Beile and Lord He Heli are receiving them to discuss the matter of surrender. Fei Yingdong, Anfei Yanggu and Lord Hu'erhan have all gone. , he said that it is a major matter involving the survival of our clan, so everyone should listen..."

   After being startled, Nurhachi felt a little angry, a little depressed, and a little confused.

He recalled everything that happened before he passed out, and knew that he was powerless to change everything. He breathed for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "What conditions did Da Zhou offer?"

Him shook his head, "How do you know this kind of thing? I just said that you must first disarm and then accept reorganization. The Jianzhou warriors who have outstanding performance will be hired by the Great Zhou Dynasty..."

Nurhachi's heart trembled. It's over. He didn't even mention the arrangements for his family. Nurhachi knew that Chu Ying and the others must have fallen into the trap. They would no longer give you military power, and then cut off you and your tribe, especially the soldiers. If there is a connection between you, who else in the Aixinjueluo clan will recognize you in the future?

Fei Yingdong, He Heli, Anfei Yanggu and Hu Erhan, as the elites of a clan of warriors, could be bribed and won over by Dazhou. For them, the old master-servant relationship would only gradually fade away. If Dazhou could ignore past grudges and If you let them, I'm afraid they will work harder to prove themselves.

 But Chu Ying, Dai Shan and Huang Taiji have no hope at all. It would be good to raise them like Liu Chan, the empress of Shu in the Three Kingdoms.

 That's why during the Battle of Chibi, everyone in Soochow could surrender, but Sun Quan could not.

Nurhachi has read "Three Kingdoms", but unfortunately few of his sons like to read Han Chinese books. I am afraid that they do not know this allusion.

 But now it is meaningless to talk about it. Nurhachi felt a pain in his heart. The heaven and the earth are working together to transport heroes without freedom. Maybe he has reached this point now, right?

"How many days have I slept?" Nurhachi propped up his body and quickly helped him sit up and lean on the soft pillow. "Khan, you have slept for two days. In the past two days, Dabeile, He Heli and others They all took turns waiting by your side, but today the envoy from the Zhou Dynasty came, and it was a serious matter, so they all went."

Nurhachi stared blankly at the tent door. A curtain, like two worlds, separated him from the original one who dominated everything. He would never be able to return to his past.

While Nurhachi was lost in thought, Chu Ying, He Heli and others were also receiving the envoys from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

 The envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty was Zu Dashou.

The brothers Zu Dabi and Zu Dale stayed in Liaodong. Zu Dabi became a general, Zu Dale followed Liu Dongyang as a guerrilla, Zu Dashou and Zu Dacheng went to Jizhen, and Zu Dashou was promoted to deputy general of the branch. Soldiers, Zu Da became a guerrilla. This time Zu Dashou followed You Shilu on the expedition, finally avenging his previous humiliation.

Since Zu Dashou was well-known in Liaodong and was very familiar with the situation in Jianzhou, Feng Ziying also specifically explained to You Shilu that Zu Dashou could come forward to negotiate with Jianzhou if necessary.

Feng Ziying didn't care too much about Zu Dashou's performance in his previous life. Zu Dashou's performance before the victory of Ningjin was remarkable. As for the subsequent events, they were also forced by the changes in the situation. Under the current circumstances, could Zu Dashou still be there? Do you really have any special feelings for the Nurhaci people?

  also used to be closely related, but now we also need to prove ourselves through performance.

 So Zu Dashou was ordered to send an envoy to Jianzhou Jurchen.

Chu Ying, He Heli and others did not expect that Zu Dashou would come as an envoy to Jianzhou.

The two sides have interacted too many times. They have been in contact since Zu Dashou and Zu Chengxun. Every year during the holidays, as long as there is no war, gifts have to be exchanged. But if there is a war, everyone has to do it. host.

At this time, Zu Dashou had not changed his name originally, but after Feng Ziying came, he felt that Zu Dashou's original name, Zu Tianshou, sounded awkward, so he changed his name for him. Zu Dashou was also overjoyed. Naturally, he was loyal and could win the title of Governor-General. , a civil servant with a serious academic background as an Eight Hundred Imperial Academy editor personally changed his name, what an honor it was.

"Dabeile, my lords, no matter how much you say, it's all nonsense. Our 30,000-strong army in Ji Town is only five miles away. In addition, the armies in Denglai Town and Dongjiang Town are only fifteen miles away. The reason why we don't attack here again is Bian Jinfa must also know that this is the attitude of the Governor. If we really want to fight, I admit that we will pay some price if the trapped beast still fights and the dog jumps over the wall. At worst, I can reduce the thirty thousand people here by half, but we can build a state. What about the Jurchen clan? I’m afraid they will really be exterminated, or do you really want this to happen?”

Zu Dashou was sitting in a chair very generously and talking eloquently.

"But Da Zhou must give us Jianzhou Jurchens a clear explanation. Our Jianzhou Army still has more than 20,000 elites, all of whom are warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles. In addition, we also have hundreds of thousands of tribesmen in various places. If we include the Jurchens in the East China Sea and Haixi, there will be 300,000 Jurchens among us. The Great Zhou Dynasty wants to establish Liaodong Province. There should be an arrangement for us Jurchens, right?"

 He Heli took up the conversation.

"Lord He Heli, the 300,000 Jurchens you mentioned are not a problem except for the more than 20,000 of your state-building troops. They are in Anle Prefecture, Tieling and Shenyang, Hetuala and Kuandian Liu Fort, those Jianzhou Jurchens who did not have time to leave are actually living according to the original lifestyle. What is the impact? The Han people have to pay the imperial grain national tax, and the Jurchens are of course no exception. As for the Haixi Jurchens and the East China Sea Jurchens , Mr. He Heli, you don’t need to worry about it, the court will naturally have arrangements.”

Zu Dashou was not polite and directly pushed back: "As for the more than 20,000 elite warriors you mentioned, the governor's attitude is also very clear. The imperial court will certainly welcome those who are really interested in serving the imperial court. After the imperial court establishes Liaodong Province, it will Restore the entire area under the jurisdiction of Nuergandu in the former Ming Dynasty. You may also know that with the popularization of railway tracks and post roads, the governance of Liaodong will no longer be like the original military town model. Nuergandusi has a very wide jurisdiction. , it may be necessary to expand eastward and northward, including the original territories of the Jurchen Warkha, Huerha and Woji tribes in the East China Sea, and even Kuwu. Is it possible that the leader of the world is not the king's land? Could it be that the people on the shore of the earth are the royal ministers? The imperial court has decided to include these areas. All the people on this land are the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, including all the Jurchens,..."

Zu Dashou unfolded a hand-drawn map and drew a circle on it with his finger, "Da Beile, gentlemen, you can take a look. This is Liaodong now. Your Jianzhou Jurchens are in this area, and the East China Sea Jurchens are in this area. The Haixi Jurchens are here, further east, here is Horqin, to the north are the Outer Khalkha people, here are the Kuwu,..."

Chu Ying and others have never seen such a detailed map. In fact, this is not a high-level map, but a rough one.

But even so, the mountains, rivers, plains and forests drawn above are also quite detailed, especially the sea and the Mongolian Plateau in Mobei are outlined at once, which immediately made the Jianzhou Jurchen group understand how small the area they are in is. This piece also warns them not to dream about certain things.

However, He Heli and others did not think so.

On the contrary, they felt that Dazhou managed such a large territory, and there were so many enemies around it, and the Han people always liked internal fighting and discord. If there was civil strife in Dazhou, who could say that Jianzhou Jurchens would not have a chance?

This actually filled their hearts with expectations.

But Zu Dashou's proposal to turn more than 20,000 elite soldiers into soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty suddenly made them nervous. Neither Chu Ying nor He Heli was willing to accept it.

“Master Zu, according to what you said, our twenty thousand brave female warriors from Jianzhou will all become Zhou troops?” If this is the case, it would be difficult to accept it.

"Not necessarily. According to the Governor's intention, if you disarm first, they will be considered as your tribe. They can do whatever they want. They can go to Shenyang and Anle Prefecture if they are willing to go. If they are willing, they can go back to Hetuala or Kuandian Liubao. You can do it anywhere, there are rules for recruiting soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and not just anyone can come."

Zu Dashou sneered in his heart. The governor had long known the thoughts of these Jianzhou Jurchens. If they really wanted to forcibly incorporate more than 20,000 people into the Zhou army system, it would be difficult to manage the Jianzhou army as it was. , also does not meet the requirements of Zhou Jun. Secondly, it will definitely arouse the opposition of these guys, so boil the frog in warm water and disband first. When these Jianzhou soldiers who have long been unable to adapt to the original nomadic fishing and hunting life find that they cannot return to their original life. , but when the Zhou army was still recruiting soldiers to open up the border to the north and east, they would naturally swarm in. At that time, they would break up and supplement it with the sense of national identity mentioned by the governor, and dilute the tribal impression. It would be simple Much more.

Since we are all citizens of the Zhou Dynasty, we must follow the rules of the Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, whether Jurchens or Mongolians, they are all people of the Zhou Dynasty.

 Hearing what Zu Dashou said, everyone felt at ease, and the next conversation would be much easier.
