Chapter 12: Dolgon

Jianzhou, Hetuala, and Nurhachi were in a good mood, because he had finally completely eliminated the great enemy Ula Division, and Urabeleb Zhantai fled to Yeh alone. This battle doubled the territory of Jianzhou, and there were more than 80,000 people in Ula.

On top of the joy, just when Nurhachi was crusading against the Urabu, good news came from Heituala, and Dafu Jin Abahai was pregnant again.

After the overjoyed Nurhachi settled the Ula tribe and ordered people to go to Yeh and Bel Buyangu to ask for Buzhantai, he immediately returned to the Great Yamen of the Hetuala Khan Palace and went to visit Abahai as soon as possible.

Abahai, who was five months pregnant, saw her husband come back and hurried forward to salute him. Nurhachi loved this 31-year-old Dafujin very much, and stepped forward with a smile and pulled Abahai and said: "If you are heavy, you will be exempted, otherwise it will not be good to trigger the tire gas." ”

Abahai nodded slightly, and pulled his son Azig beside him. Azig, who was only eight years old, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "The child has kowtowed to Amma!" ”

"Alright, alright, get up, Azig." Nurhachi picked up Azig, "Good boy, Ama hasn't seen you grow taller again in a few months, well, it's heavy." ”

Azig hadn't seen Amma for months, and he insisted on asking him about the war.

"When you're a few years older, you'll lead the army with your brothers." Nurhachi patted Azig on the head, this son must be stronger than a bear in the future.

"Azig, go play by yourself." Abahai smiled and asked Azig to go out to play, and was about to make a pot of tea for her husband, when he suddenly hugged his stomach and bent over a little uncomfortably.

Nurhachi hurriedly asked, "But twisted your waist?" ”

"No... No, it's the little guy kicking in there. Abahai shook his head.

"Come and sit on the kang."

Nurhachi helped Abahai onto the kang, leaned on the quilt, reached out and touched her slightly bulging abdomen, and wondered: "It's only been more than five months, and you know how to kick people?" ”

"It must be a boy, it's not so noisy if it's a girl." Abahai stroked his stomach and smiled, "Have you figured out the name of the Khan King?" ”

"Come to mind, if it's a boy, let's call it Dolgon." Nurhachi said happily.

"Dolgon? This name is good, and he will be a little badger in the future. As Abahai spoke, the fetus in her belly seemed to be kicking her again, and fine beads of sweat suddenly appeared on her forehead.

Nurhachi looked distressed, wiped her sweat and said, "It's hurt you." ”

"What's not bitter, not all women have children like this." Abahai's heart is sweet, although her husband is much older than her, he really loves herself.

"When this kid comes out, I'll beat him up for you." Nurhachi said with a smile, and then the guards came to report that it was Dong E's forehead asking to see him.

Dong E's forehead is He Heli, who is Nurhachi's son-in-law, and is now in charge of the Zhenghongqi of Daishan, and Eyidu, Hu Erhan, and Fei Yingdong are deeply respected by Nurhachi. These four people, along with Feiyangu, who had died tragically with Hong Tai before, were called the Five Ministers within the state.

Nurhachi ordered He Heli to come in and ask him what was the matter.

"King Khan, Yehe's Buyangu refused to hand over Bujantai to us, we sent people three times, and he returned to us three times!" Although He Heli is Nurhachi's son-in-law, he has always been honored as the Khan King, not Huama.

"This Buyangu is really looking for death!"

Nurhachi was very angry, thought about it and instructed the guards: "Go and invite Mr. Gong." ”

Mr. Gong is a Han Chinese, named Gong Zhengliu, a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, Ming Kingdom. In the last year of Jiajing, Gong Zheng was exiled by the Jurchens when he lived in Liaodong with his father in the sixth year, and later belonged to Nurhachi in the seventeenth year of Wanli. Now he is a "literary outsider" in Jianzhou, holding the clerkship for Nurhachi, handling foreign affairs, and all the envoys of North Korea and the Ming Kingdom are received by Gong Zhengliu. Nurhachi's replies are also from his hands, and he is the master of Baye, such as Zhuying, Mang Gurtai, and Abatai.

However, Gong Zhengliu has not been in Jianzhou for the past two years, but has been active in the Jingshi and Liaodong of the Ming Kingdom, and he only returned to Heituala from Liaoyang last month.

Nurhachi called Gong Zhengliu to know the movements of the Ming Dynasty from the other party. Because he had decided to use the army Yehe, he must be clear about the attitude of the Ming Dynasty, especially how Li Chengliang, who was far away in Beijing, viewed this matter.

Because they wanted to do business, Nurhachi and He Heli came out of Abahai and went to the council hall of the Great Yamen, and asked them to call Zhuying, Daishan, and Amin.

When the princes and ministers heard that the Khan had a summons, they hurriedly put down the matter at hand and rushed to the Great Yamen. Gong Zhengliu came with Zhenying, Nurhachi has been very satisfied with Zhenying recently, when he went to Ula, he asked Zhenying to act as an agent for the political affairs of Jianzhou, Zhenying did a good job, and in the last year or two, he has also accepted the former temperament, and he is very good to his brothers, which makes Nurhachi very pleased.

After the people arrived, Nurhachi said: "Mr. Gong, Yehe's Buyangu refuses to hand over Buzhantai, which is really hateful, and Ben Khan wants to use troops against Yehe..."

"King Khan should have done something to Yeh a long time ago, I heard that they are going to marry the old woman to Khalkha!" Eyi said angrily.

"Ula has been leveled, and then Yehe is swept away, and our Jurchens can be truly unified." Zhen Ying is also very eager for Ye He's use of troops, if Ama really wants to fight Ye He, it should be no surprise that he will lead the army to the battle, after all, Ama has just returned from the personal expedition to Ula.

Nurhachi nodded and asked Gong Zhengliu, "What do you think, sir?" ”

Nearly sixty years old, Gong Zhengliu, who was dressed in a Confucian shirt and had a goat's beard, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "King Khan, not long ago, there was an incident in Beijing, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei exposed a demon rebellion, and I heard that the emperor's concubine was involved, and it was very boiling. ”

It was the first time Nurhachi had heard about this, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "How did the emperor deal with it?" ”

Gong Zhengliu said: "The emperor was very angry when he first found out and wanted to severely punish the criminals, but for some reason there was no movement later. After a pause, he said, "Most of the time the emperor feels that he can't make a noise, so the big things are turned into small things, and the small things are turned into nothing." ”

"The emperor is smart, otherwise the city will be full of wind and rain, and it will not be easy for his emperor." Nurhachi nodded.

When Mang Gurtai heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Amma, what do these things have to do with us?" Aren't we going to fight Ye He? No matter how much trouble he has in the royal family of the Ming Kingdom, he can't fight with us. ”

Gong Zhengliu smiled, and said lightly to the goat's beard: "Fifth elder brother, you are wrong, the affairs of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom have something to do with us, and it has a lot to do with it." ”

"What's the relationship?" Mang Gurtai was puzzled.

"Because of family affairs, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom ignored the government and politics, and let it pile up for months, without trial or approval, and put all political affairs behind, and lived in the inner palace to have fun. The emperor does not go to court, the ministers and he can't see each other, they don't look at the music, and some ministers don't know if they leave the emperor, and they know that they will neither retain nor blame, and they will not make up for official vacancies. Due to the lack of visa stamping of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, the border army asked for military salaries, but no one issued them, and the soldiers in the customs did not practice for many years. Not only did the emperor dislike the ministers, but he also appointed his own domestic slaves and eunuchs, and sent them to do mischief outside..."

Gong Zhengliu said so much in one go, and then asked Mang Gurtai with a smile: "Isn't it related to us that Fifth Elder Brother said this?" ”
