Chapter 278: Yehebu
(Recommended reading: For the sake of safety on the road, Li Hongyu and Man Gui and others changed into Mongolian clothes, so that others would think that they were from the Inner Khalkha tribe.
Naren Toya also followed Zhuo Li Ketuhong to see off Li Hongyu and Bahat and his party, and when Li Hongyu was leaving, she gave Li Hongyu a talisman that she begged for, and her concern and reluctance were overflowing.
Facing the affectionate Naren Toya, Li Hongyu felt a little embarrassed, he really didn't know how to explain this matter to Zhao Xin, Qin Yue and others, and at the same time, he was undoubtedly confirmed by the outside world The rumors of his "romance".
"Miss, take care." Li Hongyu didn't know what to say to Naren Toya, so he bowed his hand to her, turned on his horse, and led Bahat, Man Gui and the others to gallop away.
Naren Toya looked at Li Hongyu who disappeared in the distance of the grassland, and her eyes were a little red for some reason, although the two did not get along for a long time, Li Hongyu's elegance and ease had already impressed her, and she had never seen a man as light as Li Hongyu, as if nothing could stump him.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Li Hongyu asked Bahat to send someone to escort two of his escorts back to Quang Ninh City on the way.
These two guards had his secret recital to Emperor Wanli, and truthfully reported the course of his trip to the grassland, especially the accidental love affair with Naren Toya, so as not to make a fuss about it against him in the future.
As long as Emperor Wanli agrees with Li Hongyu and Naren Tuoya's matter, then no one in the court will be able to make a fuss about this matter in the future, Li Hongyu is also taking precautions, after all, the officialdom is walking on thin ice, of course he has to be cautious step by step.
Li Hongyu galloped all the way, and after passing through the territory of the Zalut tribe in the easternmost part of the Inner Khalkha Tribe, he entered the territory controlled by the Jurchens, and the largest tribe of the Jurchens in the northeast of Kaiyuan was naturally the Yehe tribe.
With the Ming army unexpectedly defeated by the Houjin army at Salhu, the Yehe Department is now in the wind, and the grass and trees are all soldiers.
The tribal leaders of the Jurchens were called "Bel", so the two Beles of the Yehe tribe, Jintaishi and Buyangu, guarded the two cities of the Yehe tribe respectively, and called them "East City" and "West City".
Faced with the current situation, Yehebu had two choices, one was to surrender to Nurhachi and become a member of the Houjin, and the other was to stay in place and wait for the rescue of the Ming army.
Obviously, Yehebu, who had a feud with Nurhachi's Jianzhou Jurchens, would definitely not surrender to Nurhachi, so both Jintaishi and Buyangu chose to hold on and wait for help.
Although the Northern Route Army that followed Marin attacked Hetuala, when Marin fell into an ambush by the Houjin army, more than 10,000 people from the Yehe tribe who followed behind were able to retreat and return safely to the eastern and western cities of the Yehe tribe, because their forces were not damaged during the battle of Salhu.
Speaking of which, the grievances and hatreds between Yehebu and the Jianzhou Jurchens are very complicated, with hatred but often intermarriage.
For example, Jin Taishi's sister is Huang Taiji's sister, and he and Nurhachi are uncles, and they can be regarded as close relatives, but even so, the two still fight to the death.
As for Buyangu, his father was killed by Nurhachi when he led his troops to conquer the Jurchens in Jianzhou, and not only that, but Nurhachi personally cut Buyangu's father in half and sent him back to Yehebu, which made the two sides form an indissoluble feud.
It is worth mentioning that although Buyangu was later killed by Nurhachi, his grandson was very famous, that is, Nalan Mingzhu, a scholar of the Kangxi Dynasty.
To tell the truth, because the Jurchen tribes intermarried with the Mongolian Horqin tribe and the Inner Khalkha tribe, Li Hongyu could not tell the kinship between them.
Because there was a nobleman of the Zalut tribe, Ang'an, one of the five tribes of the Inner Khalkha tribe, led the way, so there was no obstruction of the Jurchen soldiers of the Yehe tribe on the way, and the Zalut tribe and the Yehe tribe were very familiar with each other because of their proximity to each other.
Aung An is the Taiji of the Zarut tribe, his father is the head of the Zalut tribe, and he is the cousin of Bahat by blood, and the two sides share a common ancestor.
Perhaps it was Nurhachi's increasingly fierce expansion that made Ang'an full of vigilance against Houjin, so he personally led Li Hongyu this time, and took him to the east and west of Yehebu, and went to find Jintaishi and Buyangu.
Ang An was very disappointed and shocked that the Ming army was defeated by the Houjin army at Sarhu, and never expected that the Ming army, which had the upper hand, would be defeated, which would affect the Mongol tribes close to Liaodong, and he did not want to be annexed by Nurhachi.
Historically, in order to avenge the connection between Nekhalkha and the Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi sent troops to attack the nearest Zarut department and killed Aung An, who was the most resolute in the rebellion.
The east and west cities of the Yehe tribe are located on the edge of the Yehe River, facing each other across the river, built on the mountain, and the momentum of the moat and horns has made many small tribes around the area merge and annex a lot, so that the Yehe tribe has been able to prosper and become a powerful tribe that carries the rites with the Jianzhou Jurchens.
At this time, there was a panic in both the eastern and western cities of Yehe, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing, and with the defeat of the Ming army in Sarhu, the residents of the city knew that Nurhachi would not let go of such a good opportunity to eliminate the Yehe tribe.
Therefore, under the orders of Jintaishi and Buyangu, the warriors of the Yehe tribe came from all directions to enter the city to defend it, preparing to rely on the strong city walls to resist the attack of the Houjin army, hoping to defeat the Houjin army.
East Side.
Jin Taishi and Buyangu summoned the generals of the Yehe tribe in the council hall to discuss the defense of the city, and the two knew that Nurhachi would definitely take this opportunity to destroy the Yehe tribe, so they had to prepare early.
Due to the defeat of the Ming army in Sarhu, the morale of the generals of the Yehe Department was a little low, after all, even the Ming army, which had more than 100,000 troops, was defeated by the Houjin army, how could the Yehe army, which had only 20,000 or 30,000 troops, be the opponent of the Houjin army?
However, Yehebu also has an advantageous advantage, that is, the city defenses of the east and west cities of Yehebu are tall and strong, which can cause many casualties to the Houjin army that lacks siege equipment.
"Two Baylors, when will Daming's reinforcements come?" In the tense and depressing atmosphere, a general couldn't help but ask, now all their hopes are pinned on the Ming army, if the Ming army does not come to save them, then it will be difficult for them to fight against the Houjin army.
As soon as these words came out, the generals on the scene looked at Jintaishi and Buyangu, which is also a problem they are concerned about now.
"Rest assured, we have sent someone to Kaiyuan to ask for help, as long as the reinforcements of the Ming army arrive, they will definitely come to save us, we are the only one who can drag him behind Jiannu, and the Ming army will definitely not sit idly by and ignore us." Jin Taishi and Bu Yanggu glanced at each other when they heard this, and then said in an orderly manner.
Although he and Buyangu sent people to Kaiyuan to ask for help, but the Kaiyuan guard Ma Lin's reply to them disappointed the two, Ma Lin asked them to stick to the help, and finally the matter of reinforcements was never mentioned, because the Houjin soldiers along the way killed the messenger who delivered the news, so Ma Lin didn't know when the imperial court's reinforcements would arrive, and the Kaiyuan City he guarded needed to replenish a large number of troops.
The generals of the Yehe tribe suddenly felt disappointed when they heard this, and Jin Taishi's answer was very vague, so they didn't get any useful information, and God knows if the Ming army would come to save them.
"Two Baylors, Mongol Zalut Department Angan Taiji came to meet the two Baylors." At this moment, a subordinate suddenly rushed in and reported loudly.
"Aung An is here?" Hearing this, Jin Taishi and Buyanggu were taken aback, they never expected Ang'an to come over at this time, and then hurriedly went to the living room to see Ang'an.
"Excuse me, two Baylors!" In the living room, Li Hongyu sat on a chair with Ang An and Bahat chatting, and when he saw Jin Taishi and Buyangu coming, Ang An got up with a smile and hugged the two of them, the three of them were old friends and were very familiar with each other.
"Ang Antaiji, you are a rare guest, I don't know why you came this time?" Jin Taishi and Buyanggu smiled and beckoned Li Hongyu and Ang An and the others who got up to greet them to sit down, and then asked quietly, it was obvious that Ang An had come at the wrong time.
"Don't hide it from the two Baylors, I'm here to show the way for people this time." As he spoke, Ang An smiled and introduced Bahat to Jintaishi and Buyangu, "This is the grandson of the great chief of Zhuolik Tuhong, Bahat Taiji. ”
"This is Li Qianhu of Daming." As he spoke, Ang An introduced Li Hongyu again, and said in a deep voice, "Li Qianhu has important things to talk to the two of you. ”
"Li Qianhu?" Jin Taishi and Bu Yanggu couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and then looked at Li Hongyu in surprise, never expected that Daming would send someone to come, you must know that you have to risk your life to come here at this time.
"Li Hongyu, the new governor of Lower Liaodong, two generals, you have worked hard these days." Li Hongyu bowed slightly to Jin Taishi and Buyanggu when he heard this, and then said in a deep voice, indicating his true identity.
Li Hongyu had to take the initiative to reveal his identity, because the purpose of his coming here was to persuade the Yehebu Jurchens to move away, and it would be difficult to gain the trust of Jintaishi and Buyangu if he hid his identity.
In addition, time is urgent, so Li Hongyu must persuade Jin Taishi and Buyangu to lead the crowd to leave here as soon as possible, so as not to be destroyed by the Houjin army at the time, and provide troops for the Houjin army in vain.
"Governor of Liaodong?" Li Hongyu's voice lagged behind, and Jin Taishi, Buyangu, Ang'an and Bahat at the scene were stunned, looking at Li Hongyu with stunned expressions, they could all understand Li Hongyu's words and naturally knew what he said.
But how is this possible! How could the dignified governor of Liaodong appear here?
"Two generals, Governor Li is indeed the new governor of Liaodong." At this moment, a guard standing by the side stepped forward and solemnly said to the stunned Jintaishi and Buyangu.
"You...... You are Zhang Baihu of Liaodong Dusi! Jin Taishi and Buyangu came back to their senses when they heard this, and looked at the guard who spoke in amazement.
This guard was a hundred households of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, and he had dealt with Jintaishi and Buyanggu in Kaiyuan City before, so the two knew him.
Li Hongyu deliberately brought Zhang Baihu, who had dealt with Jintaishi and Buyangu, for the purpose of proving his identity.
"Two generals, this governor has important matters to discuss with them, and he is worried that they have scruples, so he can only come in person." Li Hongyu knew that Jin Taishi and Buyangu had a hard time believing his identity for a while, so he explained quietly.
"Are you really the new governor of Liaodong?" After the initial shock, Jin Taishi came back to his senses, and looked the young Li Hongyu up and down in disbelief, with a suspicious look on his face, as the governor of Liaodong, Li Hongyu's age was too young!
