The hustle and bustle of the people in the workshop gradually subsided, and those who shouted loudly at the beginning turned off the volume at this moment, and the ordinary craftsman Aha was lying on the ground trembling like an insect, watching how this matter ended.

The people present were all such characters, and they all understood the power struggle within the Jurchens. It was known that their Khan King was very fond of the three Azig brothers, and at present, although the four great Beyler hard-working masters hold heavy power, each leading a banner exists as the banner lord Beyler after the Khan King. However, it was already rumored that the Khan had hinted that the two most powerful yellow flags he personally led would be handed over to these three brothers in the future. Even now that Azig is the nominal owner of the white flag, this kind of favor is really unheard of. Some people with faster brains are wondering which group the next Khan will be born in.

And now, although Amin is not the son of King Khan, he is also in the Shulhaqi lineage, and the dignified blue flag master can be regarded as one of the four major Baylors. The Khan's attitude towards him was obviously different from that towards Azig, and it seemed that he wanted to make Azig stand by striking Amin, and the meaning of favoritism was clear.

Is this some kind of implication?

Although the other three of the four major Baylors have never regarded Amin as a competitor, but the other party is also a huge Baylor who is on an equal footing with him, and now when he sees his appearance, he thinks that this is not his father Khan is using Amin to show him something, and the fear and humiliation in Amin's heart seem to empathize, and some people even think that they will be like this in the future, and they actually feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

And the mood of the two parties at the moment is also different, Azig is only sixteen years old, although he is excellent in martial arts, but after all, he is a little younger, and he is not sensitive to some intrigues between power struggles. I just regret not shooting through the target shield, and I feel that my martial arts still need to be cultivated, that's all, but Amin is different.

He is a person who has experienced the internal power struggle of the Jurchens and has experienced the test of life and death. He had watched his eldest brother Altena and third brother Zasaktu be executed by this uncle of his. His father, Shulhazy, had just turned twenty-three when he died in that famous iron cell.

He will never forget the fear at that time, and since then he has known that in the world of the Jurchens, the strong is king, only power is real, and everything else, including family, friendship, and love, is all illusory.

If he forgets this, he will follow in the footsteps of his father, Shulhazy.

And the name Shulhachi, in the Jianzhou Jurchen, represents a certain taboo that cannot be explicitly stated, and represents a bloody history of fratricide.

Now when it comes to the Jianzhou Jurchens, I only know that there is a Nurhachi, if it was placed twenty years ago, there would be a well-known name: Shuerhachi. It was a Jurchen brave warrior on the same level as Nurhachi, and even Zhu Ying said that the Jurchen country was fought by his uncle Shulhaqi and his father Khan.

When Nurhachi's thirteen armors rose up to fight Nikan Wailan, Shulhaqi followed his brother and galloped across the field, and made great contributions to the rise of Jianzhou with his bravery. Every time they encountered the use of troops, it was Nurhachi and Shulhaqi who first secretly discussed the deployment and made a decision before announcing it to the generals. The two brothers are co-rulers of state affairs, create a great cause together, and are called the two governors within the Jianzhou Jurchens, almost on an equal footing.

But later, as the power of the Jianzhou Jurchens increased, the situation of one mountain not allowing two tigers was gradually revealed.

At the beginning of the founding of the state, there were no eight flags, only one black flag, which was led by Nurhachi himself. Later, as the power grew, another red flag was made, and Nurhachi handed over the black flag to Shulhaqi and changed the red flag himself. It was then that Shulhazi became the lord of a banner and had his own territory and army. In the fifteenth year of Wanli, Nurhachi made the capital of Hetuala, and named Shulhaqi as Baylor, second only to him, and became the second person.

At that time, the Jianzhou Jurchens had more than 10,000 elite soldiers and 700 war horses, and the Black Flag Army under Shuerhaqi had more than 5,000 elite soldiers, more than 40 generals, and more than 400 war horses.

In the Jurchen tribe, where the strong are respected, the position of the Khan is guaranteed by strength, and Shulhaqi's troops surpass Nurhachi, which is naturally a threat to Nurhachi.

What's even more terrifying is that in addition to the large number of soldiers, Shulhaqi has foreign aid that surpasses Nurhachi. One of Shulhaqi's two daughters married Ulabelebu Zhantai, and the other daughter married Li Rubai, the son of Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, as a concubine, and also had a son, and he himself married Buzhantai's sister. These forces were twisted together, enough to keep Nurhachi awake.

At that time, the Beijing government of the Ming Dynasty and the governors of Liaodong still used the routine of hundreds of years to divide and disintegrate, and to raze and suppress the Jurchens. They saw a tendency to polarize among the Jianzhou Jurchens and took advantage of it. In the twenty-third and twenty-fifth years of Wanli, when Shuerhaqi led his troops into Beijing twice to pay tribute, he was warmly and ceremoniously received by the Ming court, and was rewarded with rich gifts such as gold, silver, silk and satin. At the same time, the Ming court also granted him the high-ranking military position of command.

For this reason, Shulhaqi was indeed grateful for the favor of the Ming Dynasty, he was grateful to the Ming Dynasty, and his political attitude became more and more inclined to the Ming Dynasty. People go to high places, the Jurchens never pay attention to the etiquette of the Han people in the Central Plains, Shuerhaqi has a strong power, and naturally wants to pursue a position that matches his power, so it is inevitable to clash with the "big mountain" Nurhachi standing in front of him.

Later, with the growth of Jianzhou's power, Nurhachi's hostility towards the Ming Dynasty became more and more serious. His Red Banner subordinates often engaged in armed clashes with Ming border guards. Shulhaqi wanted to use the Ming Dynasty as a backer and ascend to the throne of the lord of Jianzhou, so he opposed hostilities with the Ming army, which exacerbated Nurhachi's dissatisfaction.

In the twenty-ninth year of Wanli, the Ming court re-appointed Li Chengliang as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, hoping that he could suppress the aggressive Jianzhou Jurchens. And what Li Chengliang did was still to sow discord, strongly support Shuerhaqi to come to power, form a family with his sons and daughters, and show that the imperial court crowned him as the governor of Jianzhou's right guard, trying to promote the split of Jianzhou's Jurchen. In the thirty-third year of Wanli, Shuerhaqi's wife died, and Li Chengliang and his son prepared a rich sacrifice to go to the funeral, which was very grand, completely surpassing Nurhachi's pomp. And Shulhaqi was very grateful for this, and finally threw himself into the arms of the Ming Dynasty and stood on the opposite side of Nurhachi.

But all this was seen by Nurhachi, and everything that happened afterwards made Daishan shudder every time he thought about it, his uncle's methods were too powerful, in fact, he always suspected that the expedition was a conspiracy against his father.

In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, a small Jurchen tribe living in the city of Xuyou, because they could not bear the slavery of the neighboring Ula tribe, sent an envoy to attach themselves to Nurhachi. In this regard, Nurhachi naturally would not let go of this God-given opportunity, and asked Shulhaqi to send troops to collect it, and sent his sons Chu Ying and Dai Shan, and generals Fei Yingdong, Yanguli, Changshu, Nabuqi and other leading troops to accompany him.

Because Shulhaqi and Ula are allies, so some people later added fuel to the legend that when Shulhaqi and others were halfway through, he was full of suspicion and told the generals that he saw a faint glow on the handsome banner and wanted to retreat. This was later determined to be an excuse for him to withdraw from the army, and he did not want to carry out this difficult task, but under the opposition of Chu Ying and Dai Shan, he could only give up.

Amin suspected that Nurhachi deliberately instructed others to fabricate public opinion, but he only dared to doubt in his stomach that in this situation, he didn't plan to rehabilitate him at all.

Later, after the soldiers and horses of Jianzhou arrived in the city of Shuyou, the 500 families led by the chieftain of the tribe, Tsemuthei, were ready to set off, so the team soon embarked on the road back.

At this time, the key place came, and after Ulabelebu Zhantai learned the news, more than 10,000 people from the entire tribe came out to stop it, and the armies of the two sides fought a battle in Wujieyan. Although the people of the Ullah tribe were outnumbered, they were defeated and retreated to their lair in disarray. The Jianzhou soldiers won the victory and moved back to the dynasty, but as soon as they returned, things changed.

As soon as the Nurhachi faction led by Zhu Ying returned, they immediately sued Shulhaqi to retreat from the battle and passively avoid the battle. It is claimed that only Zhu Ying and Dai Shan led the army to fight bravely when the battle took place, but Shulhaqi retreated to the side with his subordinate soldiers and horses to watch, and his subordinates Chang Shu and Naqib did not join the battle, but only symbolically participated in a few times near the end of the battle.

At the same time, Zhu Ying claimed that it was precisely because of Shulhaqi's passive retreat that although the Jianzhou warriors defeated the Ula cavalry, they failed to deal a fatal blow, otherwise they could have eliminated the main force of the Ula tribe in a battle.

Although Zhu Ying didn't say why, anyone can think of the close alliance between Shulhaqi and the Urabu, which is definitely a fatal blow. Although the other party is your in-law, but the other party can be a blood relative and nephew surnamed Aixin Jueluo, which side is close to each other is self-evident. At a critical moment, you help people with distant connections to deal with people who are close to you, which is no different from rebellion, which no one can agree with, let alone people like Nurhachi.

At that time, Nurhachi was furious when he heard Zhuying's report, but Dai Shan suspected that this was premeditated at all, and he remembered that when his father returned to Hetuara to pay the order, all the troops of the Black Flag were isolated outside the city, and the city was full of red flag people, and all the news inside and outside was cut off, and his father was invisibly restricted from personal freedom as soon as he entered the city, and it was obvious that targeted measures had been taken in advance.

Later, Nurhachi ordered Shulhaqi's subordinates Changshu and Naqib to be arrested, and prepared to be executed for the crime of escaping from the battle, so as to cut off his father's right-hand man, and also kill chickens and monkeys.

However, Shulhazy's reaction was very strong, defending that Zhu Ying had wronged him, saying that it was agreed at the beginning that Zhu Ying would lead the army to attack first, and he would lead the army to attack behind. However, later on, it was seen that there were too many men and horses in the Urabu, and if they were outnumbered, there was a danger of annihilation, so it was recommended to avoid their edge first, lure the enemy deep and then seek an opportunity to attack. But Zhu Ying didn't listen, forced the troops to fight hard, and he had no choice but to lead the army to fight on the flank of the battlefield first, and then risk rushing to kill from the flank, so as to turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.

In other words, he is the key hero of this battle, without him, this battle cannot be won at all, and what Zhu Ying said is simply reversing black and white.

The two sides have their own reasons, but the result is already doomed. In view of Shulhaqi's status and popularity in Jianzhou, Nurhachi needs a plausible reason to deal with him, so it is impossible for him to let go of this opportunity, the arrest of Changshu and Nabuqi is just a cover, his real purpose is to drag Shulhaqi into the water, and the other party really fell for it.

In the end, Shulhaqi saw that the defense was ineffective, so he simply kept his subordinates to the end, and said that killing them was equivalent to killing me, and he swore not to bow his head, and he had the position of fighting to the death. This move played into Nurhachi's hands, because it created the appearance that Shulhaqi was unreasonable, disobedient, and undermined stability and unity. In a pretended manner, he fined Chang Shu one hundred taels of gold in a regressive manner, seized the men and horses of Naqib's subordinates, and henceforth withdrew the military power of the Shulhaqi Black Flag Army, and pushed him out of the top military leadership.

Since then, Shulhaqi has been at a low ebb, and no one among his clan is willing to support him, considering him a traitor with his elbow turned outward, and no one speaks for him when his military power is seized, and he is completely discredited.

What's more, his previous achievements on the battlefield have also been distorted. When he originally conquered the Hada tribe, he invited himself to be the vanguard, commanded a thousand troops and the general Yang Guli braved the sword, captured the Hada Belle Menggebulu in one fell swoop, collected all his people, and destroyed the Hada tribe, which was a good story at the time, but it was also artificially distorted into fear of the enemy and cowardice, and was reprimanded by Nurhachi. His role of charging into battle was also replaced by Nurhachi.

Amin remembers that when his father led 100 of his old subordinates to move to Heiluomu, he simply saw through Nurhachi's hostility towards him, knew that he had no hope of turning over, gave up his challenge to Nurhachi's authority, and moved to avoid trouble. Explanation is to show that you are far away from the center of power, and you no longer have the meaning of thinking about non-separation. However, Li Chengliang added fuel to the fire at this time, trying to seize the last opportunity to split the Jianzhou Jurchens, and actually asked the imperial court to canonize Shuerhaqi as the governor of Jianzhou.

As a result, this perfect handle was immediately seized by Nurhachi and said that he was deliberately separating, saying that Shulhaqi colluded with the Urabu and the Ming Dynasty to try to set up another door, and this black pot was completely indistinguishable, so that his family lost the last hope.

In the end, Amin's elder brother Alten'a and third brother Zasaktu were arrested and executed, and the family property Aha was confiscated. His father's close subordinate, Wu Erkun, known as the first fierce general of the Black Flag, was captured by design, hung from a tree and lit a sky lantern alive. In desperation, his father had no choice but to return to Hetuala, and Nurhachi pretended to show him around his new residence, but as soon as he entered, he immediately poured iron on the doors and windows, leaving only two holes, one for food, and one for drowning, and imprisoned his father for two years in the dark iron prison. Since then, the Shulhaqi line has been completely defeated, and the entire Jianzhou Jurchen only respects Nurhachi.

Amin remembered that he was also arrested by Nurhachi and prepared to be executed, but thanks to Huang Taiji and others interceding for him, Nurhachi was also afraid that things would be done too desperately and cause internal turmoil among the Jurchens, so he spared him and his younger brother Zilharang's lives. also pretended to let them continue to lead the old black flag to show kindness and justice, but then divided the black flag into three, the red flag, the red flag and the blue flag, the two red flags were given to Dai Shan, only leaving them with the blue flag, which weakened their power in disguise.

Since then, Amin has seen through how ruthless Nurhachi is, and he knows that Nurhachi will always remember his sensitive identity as "the son of Shulhachi". So since he became the Great Baylor, he has been carrying his tail as a man, carefully fearing that Nurhachi would leave a handle to clean himself up.

He knew in his heart that he didn't want to take revenge at all, as long as Nurhachi didn't look for an opportunity to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. The only thing he can do is to keep the bloodline of Shulhaqi as long as possible, and keep the only capital to settle down and establish a life with the blue flag. Because he always felt that his uncle was always looking for an opportunity to deprive his father of the last remaining bit of his family.

Now, he felt that bad luck was coming, and the uncle of the Khan King in front of him was going to use this stubble button to prepare for the idea of setting himself with a blue flag, he was sweating on his forehead, and he didn't dare to look at Nurhachi, but he just swept a few cousins out of the corner of his eye, but saw that their faces had no expression, and he couldn't help but stiffen nervously.

Nurhachi's eagle eyes scanned the people present, fell on Amin's body for a long time, and finally beckoned to Azig and said, "Twelve elder brothers, come here." ”

Azig urged the horse to Nurhachi's horse and said loudly: "Father Khan, I am not good at martial arts...... but was interrupted by Nurhachi waving his hand, and stretched out his hand to signal him to hand over the bow.

Azig presented the bow, and Nurhachi pulled it twice and said, "The bow is a good bow, but the way to control the strings is not right." You use the tip of your thumb, the second section of your index finger and your middle finger to assist in semi-extending the bow, and this method can only open weak bows such as hunting bows and small bows, so the arrow power is insufficient. There are two kinds of bows used in the military formation, with arrows similar to the two nodes of the index finger and middle finger, assisted by the ring finger, and the three-finger buckle string to pull the bow; Or use the thumb sleeve to move the fingers, and the remaining four fingers are half held to assist, and the thumb buckles the string and pulls the bow. These two methods are the actual combat bow method of fighting on the military array, and the arrow power is far stronger than this, and you will need to be an example of its soldiers in the future, and you need to be as skilled as me. ”

Saying that, Nurhachi didn't say hello to anyone, and suddenly pulled out an arrow from his quiver, and swished with his bow and arrow, and the people next to him didn't react, and Amin was even more dumbfounded. When he came back to his senses, he saw that a carved arrow hit the target shield, and landed in the center of the plum blossom diagram formed by the five arrows of Azig.

Then there was a large cheer and admiration from everyone, praising the Khan King for his courage and excellent archery accuracy, and Amin tried his best to praise Nurhachi's rare in the sky and unparalleled on the earth. No one went to see if the arrow had pierced through.

It wasn't until Nurhachi signaled the crowd to stop that someone reported that the wooden shield was still not pierced. Amin's face changed again, but Nurhachi's face did not change, but he just said: "This shield is really strong, it seems that only the eighth elder brother, who is known as the first archer in our state, can overcome it." Azig, if you want to shoot more in the future, you will have to consult with your starling brother more. ”

Azig nodded yes, and Nurhachi said: "But the criterion is quite good, even when the second elder brother, the fifth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother are like you, they may not have such an accurate head, I said that you will be rewarded for shooting well." I'll give you this move. ”

Saying that, Nurhachi took off a Xiuyu on the thumb of his right hand and gave it to Azig, this move made Huang Taiji and others want to scold their mother, and the finger has been in their father's hands since they can remember, and he has never taken off the horse for half his life, but he didn't expect to give it to Azig today.

Then Nurhachi said, "Amin has made a great shield for meritorious service, and he will be rewarded according to what I said." ”

Amin's heart finally let go of half of it, and seeing that Nurhachi's face had just eased slightly, another sentence made his heart rise again.

"It's just that the Ming army is good at using firearms, but I don't know if this big shield can block firearms. Forehead, take a Ming military gun, I want to see how resistant this wooden shield can be. ”
