Chapter 626: The Six Castles of Kuandian are windy and snowy
As early as the time of aiding Korea to resist the Japanese, there was a "Shuangyang" in the Ming Army, but "Shuangyang" can be called together, but the status of Shuangyang is very different.
One of the Yangs was Yang Yuan, who killed the prisoner in anger, and later was reinstated thanks to Li Mi's help to speak, and the other Yang was Yang Zhan, who was greedy for merit.
Unexpectedly, Yang Zhan was assigned to Kuandian Liubao as a guard, if it wasn't for Li Rumei to talk about it, Li Mi really didn't know that this person was one of the "Shuangyang".
It is said that the reason why Yang Zhan did this was to fight for Li Rumei, but judging from Li Rumei's attitude, she seems to despise Yang Zhan very much, perhaps it is precisely because Li Rumei can have such an awareness that she can become the chief military officer in the future.
A person's talent determines how high you can climb, but a person's quality determines how far you can go.
Hearing that Li Rumei had something to say, Li Mi also took the opportunity to ask, "What else do I need to know?" ”
Li Rumei looked at Li Mi, and finally said to Li Mi: "Do you know why my father agreed to let me follow you on this trip?" ”
Hearing Li Rumei's rhetorical question, Li Mi was also silent for a moment.
In fact, he has thought about this issue a long time ago, Li Rumei is a person who can't be idle, this is true, he is also a great success in the military circles and has a great reputation, which is not bad.
But except for natural madmen and perverts, no one likes to fight, and no one likes to be born and die.
This time he entered the realm of the Jurchen tribe in order to hunt down Zhang Jiao and Zhou Yu, and the danger was undoubted.
And there is not much interest involved between these two people and Li Rumei, if it is said that Li Rumei risked her life for the sake of the country's righteousness, it is just barely reasonable.
But before leaving, Li Mi clearly saw Li Rumei saying goodbye to her family, it was a bleak wind and a cold water, and it was definitely not like she came to play.
But Li Mi really couldn't think of a reason for Li Rumei to come over, so he could only stop thinking about it for a while.
Now that Li Rumei mentioned it herself, Li Mi also shook her head honestly.
Li Rumei sighed lightly and said to Li Mi: "It's because of Nuer Hachi." ”
"Nuer Hachi? What does it have to do with him? Li Mi couldn't help but wonder, Li Rumei's mood was a little low, and she shook her head, as if she was denying something from the bottom of her heart.
"Those courtiers and the people are not wrong, if it were not for my father, there may be no Nuer Hachi today......"
"His tribe is only a small tribe of Jianzhou Zuowei Hetuala, his biological mother died when he was ten years old, and his stepmother Nala was mean to him, so he could not share any family property, so he had to dig ginseng, pick hazelnuts, mushroom fungus and pine nuts to survive."
Later, he and his younger brother Shuerhaqi and others went to the horse market in Fushun Pass to make a living, and did business with the Mongols and Han Chinese, so he was proficient in Mongolian and Chinese, and he also read a lot of books, and later ...... Then my father adopted him...... Let him be a personal attendant, it can be said that Nuer Hachi's skills are all taught by my father......"
"Li Chengliang adopted a slave Hachi?" Li Mi was also surprised, no wonder Li Chengliang said that Nuer Hachi's wings were hard, so he could only spank him, it turned out that he had adopted Nuer Hachi!
In this way, it can also explain why Li Chengliang is so tolerant of Nuer Hachi!
"Yes, my father guarded Liaodong, to put it mildly, in the northeast region, my Li family is the same, there is no tribe that does not come to please my father, my father took advantage of the contradictions between the tribes, weighed the constraints, and controlled the situation."
"At that time, the commander of the right guard of Jianzhou made Wang Gao rebel, and his father wanted to suppress the bandits, but Wang Gao was the chief of a large tribe, and it was difficult to hunt down, so Nuer Hachi helped my father find his father Takshi and grandfather Jue Chang'an, and let their tribe serve as guides."
"Speaking of which, maybe you want to despise it, Wang Gao and Jue Chang'an are in-laws, and he is Tucker's father-in-law......"
"So Nuer Hachi's father and grandfather led the way for Lao Shuai and let the people of Daming kill his own grandfather?" Li Mi didn't know anything about this history, and when he heard it at this time, his heart was also stirring.
Li Rumei nodded, then shook her head again, and continued: "Not only Wang Gao died, but in the process of leading the way, Nuer Hachi's father and grandfather were killed by mistake by the Ming army, after all, the people of the tribe are dressed the same, the Ming army can't tell the difference, and the battle is chaotic......"
Li Mi finally understood that it was no wonder that Nuer Hachi later wanted to include this father-killing revenge in the "Seven Hatreds".
"Nuer Hachi begged my father to punish the murderer severely, but my father loved soldiers like a son, so he didn't agree immediately, and sent someone to check it only to find out that it was actually Nikan Wailan, the city lord of Tulun City, the left guard of Jianzhou, who bought the Ming soldiers and killed Jue Chang'an and Takshi, wanting to take the opportunity to annex their tribes."
"Nikan Wailan's power is very large, and because of stability and the overall situation, my father asked Nuer Hachi to keep it secret for the time being, not to seek revenge, and my father promised him that he would definitely give him justice and give him a chance to take revenge."
"But Nuer Hachi lost patience, openly exposed the inside story, and forced my father to punish Nikan Wailan, who was a stubborn and arrogant man, and refused on the spot when he could stand the persecution of Nuer Hachi."
"Nikan Wailan is not a simple person, for fear that Nuer Hachi will smear him everywhere, so he wants to kill Nuer Hachi and seize the territory of Nuer Hachi's Takshi clan, and later it was my mother who secretly let Nuer Hachi go......"
"After all, my father appreciated Nuer Hachi, and he promised Nuer Hachi about this matter, but he failed to let him take revenge, and he felt guilty, so he sent Jue Chang'an and Takshi's family wealth to Nuer Hachi, which is regarded as a kind of compensation for him."
"But the power of hatred is too strong, Nuer Hachi used the thirteen pairs of armored cavalry left by his father and grandfather to go around, and in the past ten years, he has unified the Jurchen tribes of Jianzhou, and no longer pays attention to Nikan Wailan, but directly asks the Ming court, why did he kill his grandfather and father......"
"At that time, my father had been impeached, and he was relieved of his post to care for the elderly at home, and the court was afraid that the slave Hachi would rebel, so he returned the bodies of his grandfather and father, and let him be buried with tribal rituals.
"However, Nuer Hachi was not satisfied with this, he still continued to expand, fighting everywhere, and his power became bigger and bigger, not only the Jianzhou Department, but also the Hulun Department, the Changbai Department, and the East China Sea Department, all of which were all in his pocket, and even began to conquer the Chahar Department and the Horqin Department of Mongolia!"
"The court finally knows how Nu'er Hachi's wolf ambition can't be fed, otherwise how can I let my seventy-eighty father go into battle again?"
"Because they know that the only one who can cure the slave Hachi is my father!"
Li Mi didn't expect that there would be such a great enmity between Nuer Hachi and Li Chengliang, if this is the case, Li Chengliang doesn't want to fight with Nuer Hachi, and the meaning is even deeper.
It's not that he has a deep relationship with Nuer Hachi, or regards Nuer Hachi as his own, but this grievance has been deposited for so many years, and it has long been unresolved.
Li Mi finally understood why Li Rumei wanted to follow Li Mi on this trip!
Nuer Hachi is the spiritual leader of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and he is a powerful leader, if he wants to go to war, he has to solve the problem, and this grievance cannot be resolved, it is by no means something that can be solved by verbal enlightenment and persuasion, so there is only one way left!
"So your father asked you to come with you to take advantage of our time to chase and kill Zhang Jiao and Zhou Yu and kill Nuer Hachi?"
Li Mi really didn't want to ask this, but when it came to this point, such an idea was logical.
Li Mi is not hostile to the Manchus, the great integration of the nations in later generations, the great leader even proposed a global community with a shared future, and the whole earth will be a family in the future, all for survival and development, and the prejudice between ethnic groups is short-sighted.
Therefore, Li Mi will not incite ethnic hatred or anything like that, and there is no personal emotional hatred and contempt for Nuer Hachi, but in terms of the current situation, if you want to keep the Ming Dynasty long-term peace and stability, you must not let the Jianzhou Jurchens enter the customs, which is an indisputable fact.
If you don't even have this bit of courage, you can only watch the wheels of history roll forward, throwing the people of the Ming Dynasty far into the dust and ruins of destruction.
Although the Jianzhou Jurchen and other tribes have the right to pursue survival and development, why don't the people of the Ming Dynasty have the same power, so why don't they need to resist foreign enemies and defend their homes and the country? If killing is inevitable, why should a woman be kind?
Li Rumei didn't admit it, but she didn't deny it either, she just said lightly to Li Mi: "I don't know what to do, maybe after meeting Nu'er Hachi, I can know......"
Hearing this, Li Mi also sighed lightly, wanting to kill Nuer Hachi, this is not an easy thing, Nuer Hachi is now growing in his wings, and even the general trend has been achieved, what he has done is no different from rebellion, only the last fig leaf has not been torn off.
The two of them said this, Yang Zhan finally came back from outside, the entourage behind him brought a hot mutton pot, and the liquor in the big altar was also lukewarm, but he never mentioned Li Mi's intentions.
The wind and snow outside are still raging, and Li Mi and Li Rumei are also heavy in their minds after the topic of suitable talents, because they know Yang Zhan's past, they can't talk about too much enthusiasm, and eating and drinking are a lot more boring.
At this moment, the guards outside bumped in, and reported in a trembling voice: "General, it's not good, there are hundreds of Tartars outside, begging to come in and hide from the wind and snow!" ”
The Ming army and these tribal warriors are also constantly rubbing, each has dead and wounded, it has long been incompatible, if it is just a business, it is normal to come and go in Liubao, but now Liubao is already a battleground, and the people of the tribe are also vigilant, not to mention a few hundred at a time, where can the defenders not panic?
"Speak well!" Yang Zhan let out a low snort, and the guard stood up straight, but his chest still couldn't help but rise and fall violently.
"How many hundreds, tell me clearly!" Yang Zhan asked, and the soldier also swallowed.
"The snow is so strong that I can't see it clearly...... I guess there should be about three hundred......"
Yang Zhan was obviously not very satisfied, and said to the guard: "Who are the people inside, whether they bring weapons, and what is the ratio of men, women, old and weak, these must be clearly discussed, otherwise no one is allowed to be put in!" ”
The guard also hurriedly responded, and was about to run out, but Yang Zhan stopped: "Slow!" ”
The guards hurriedly stopped again, but they heard Yang Zhan say coldly: "Also, don't be a Tartar barbarian in the future, these are my border people, border people, do you understand!" ”
"Yes, yes......" The guards hurriedly responded and left in a hurry, but Li Mi had a new understanding of Yang Zhan.
