After the torrential rain, the Yinma River is exceptionally fresh, the green pasture appears singing herdsmen and herds of cattle and sheep, not far from the riverside of the farmland, sorghum and corn also grow more than one person tall, the autumn harvest is in sight, the war is far away, the life of the people of Fengzhou gradually returns to calm, and they begin to be busy with their livelihoods.

Escorted by Fei Yangwu, Kurthorn and his party hurried all the way to the Yinma River, where they saw a group of cavalry with the Flying Tiger Banner waiting in front of them, and a tall young man dismounted and ran in surprise. It was him, my disciple Eru, who was thinner than before, but more powerful in his gestures, and the boy had grown up—Kuer's heart was so hot that tears almost fell.

"Master, you are auspicious, the disciple will salute you!" Li Yu knelt in front of Kuer's horse and cried.

"What are you crying about, I'm not dead yet!" Kuer held back his heartbeat and said coldly, "I can't afford your gift, who are you?" Li Dashuai, the general soldier of the Ming State Tuntian, should I also call you that? ”

"The disciple doesn't dare, the disciple is Ulana Laelu, you and Master Dahai are my mentors, and the disciple will never dare to forget." Li Yu kowtowed and replied.

"Get up, they're all fierce generals, and they still look like children." Kull twisted his hand and twisted his face to the side to wipe his eyes quietly.

Ying Erdai pulled up Li Yu, he is Abatai's second son-in-law, he almost made a brother-in-law with Li Yu at one time, and he is also an old acquaintance, Li Yu asked about Abatai's current situation, Ying Ordai said in his ear with a wicked smile: "Abatai Belle is fine, don't you ask how the second girl is, I heard that she is pregnant with a child, do you know what's going on?" Li Yu's face turned white all of a sudden, and he was still in a daze, when Sony, Chang Shu and Bai Ge came around again.

"I heard that you gave me the nickname 'Little White Face', but luckily you ran away, or I would have beaten you." Sonny laughed and punched Li Yu twice.

"Erlu, well done, Sanbeile said that you have a chance, and you are a man of our Zhushen." The Chang Shu of Zhenglanqi whispered to Li Yu.

"Brother Erlu, do you still count the IOUs you made? I have it all with me, what, you exchange it for silver money for me, and that thing can be used as money? Then you will give me the money, but you still have to put your fingerprint. Bai Ge hugged Li Yu and muttered endlessly, he still cared about whether the money he had shared in Zunhua could be cashed out.

"Bai Ge, what are you muttering, hurry up and release our commander, it's time to hurry, the Barbarian Mountain is waiting." Tu Lichen chatted with Fei Yangwu for a while, and urged impatiently, Bai Ge pestered Li Yu and made him very tired.

"Tu Lichen, what are you yelling about, I'm talking about something important, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan, me and Ma Guozhu and a few Han minions are talking nonsense outside the Xuanfu these days, insisting that the Erlu brothers and the people in his tribe are traitors, do you think you should tell the Erlu brothers?" Bai Ge opened his mouth and pulled out another thing.

Tu Lichen and Fei Yangwu were stunned for a moment, then covered their stomachs and laughed, Tie Spear stood aside and shook his head vigorously and said, "No, Elu is our Zhushen, when did you become Han?" Fan Wencheng They are genuine traitors, who are the moths? ”

"Your master, Dolgon Belle," Chang Shu spat at the mouth, comforting Li Yu, "Erlu, don't care, although we just fought, but Lao Zhushen can afford to lose, he can't think of such a crooked idea, this is all Han slaves are making trouble." ”

"I don't care, the people of the Ming Kingdom have scolded me for Beiyu and Hanyi, so I'll treat them as a fart." Li Yu also laughed, saying that he was a traitor, but a traitor, it was too outrageous.

Kur shook his head in his heart, Erlu was still too young to realize the sinister intentions of those people, and he couldn't say anything, waving his hand to signal everyone to get on their horses and hurry.

Thousands of people warmly welcomed the envoys of the Jin State on both sides of the road, the artillery salute three times in a row, the cavalry and infantry lined up to be reviewed, and then the whole audience sang "Let's fight, Fengzhou, Fengzhou conquers the world, Fengzhou people will never, never, never be slaves." The face is enough, but Kurtang feels more like a demonstration, the Fengzhou soldiers and civilians always have a trace of contempt in their eyes, a large group of Fengzhou Zhushen also intend to take off their hats, show out the braided Fengzhou head, the most annoying thing is that the captured Jin army also came to join in the fun, Ying Erdai just said a few words of comfort, some people in the middle cheered, and some people also stood up to scold Dajin Guo for taking the wrong path, these guys must not go home with peace of mind, Ah Shan, Rosh and a few captured officers did not come out to take care of it.

The main officials of Fengzhou also came to greet him, and when he introduced Du Wenhuan, Li Yu specifically explained that the battle of Kuku Hetun was commanded by the old marshal, and Kurtang and Ying Erdai looked at the old marshal for a long time - Du Wenhuan sat in Liaoxi, but he did not fight with the Jin army, but after a few years, the two sides fought in Kuku and Tun and the blood flowed, and it was the Jin army that was defeated, not that the enemies did not get together!

That night, the Grand Commander's Mansion held a banquet to entertain guests, and a large group of officials came to eat and drink as usual, which is an old problem that cannot be changed, even Ahsan and Rosh also came, there are many rough people in Fengzhou, and they shout when they are happy to eat, Sony laughs at Li Yu There are no rules here, Li Yu is thick-skinned and doesn't care.

Kuer winced, Yingordai pulled Sonny up and said goodbye to Li Yu, saying that he was tired from the journey, and he had a few more drinks, and he wanted to go down early to rest, Bai Ge immediately staggered and followed-he really drank too much, and as soon as they left, Chang Shu whispered to Li Yu that the master had something important, please take a step to speak.

In the lobby of the Great Commander's Mansion, Tongzhi Ortai, Li Fugui, Li Huai, Yunrong and Namur were sitting in danger, Kurtang walked in, and glanced at Li Yu very dissatisfied, Li Yu immediately patted his chest and said, These are all my own people, I trust them as I trust you, master.

Kurtang hesitated for a moment, and handed a letter to Li Yu - the letter was written by Tiancong Khan to Li Yu, and it was a handwritten letter, the writing was crude and the words were frugal, and it would not have been drafted by Wenguan Bakshi. Si Baylor's writing is not good, he only occasionally writes to the people closest to him, and he also treats me as his own family - Li Yu's heart is full of heat.

"Erlu, the Great Khan uses a new word with circled dots, this is a new Zhushenwen that Master Dahai only changed last year, it is easier to read and write, and it is easy to distinguish accented words and sentences, you should understand it." Chang Shu walked up to Li Yu and said, he is also a disciple of Kurtang and Dahai, and he is Li Yu's senior brother, who is proficient in Zhushen, Mongolian and Chinese, and by the way, he will translate for everyone.

Tiancong Khan said in the letter that he had never forgotten the child who came out of Ula Mountain, and he was sincerely happy for him when he saw that Fengzhou was so powerful today. Tiancong Khan also told his own difficulties, from his father Khan took over a mess, for the survival of Zhushen, he had to fight to promote peace, but this road is too difficult, Ming Guo ignored his request for peace, the Eight Banners are also full of contradictions, urgently need Li Yu to help him, he guaranteed that as long as Li Yu goes back, he is the second in Huerhan, only below Heshuo Beile, Fengzhou can also implement the Zazak system, land, mountains, rivers, pastures are owned by Li Yu, and there is no need to pay taxes. Tiancong Khan hoped to get the help of Fengzhou to force the Ming to accept the peace talks, open trade, and recognize the vassal status of the Jin State, so as to end the war between the two countries and alleviate the suffering of the people. Tiancong Khan believes that the Ming people have a deep-rooted view of Huayi, they hate the Jin State, and still scold us for building slaves, of course, they will not trust Fengzhou in the land of barbarians, in the long run, both sides are facing the threat of a powerful Ming State, and only by connecting them can they protect themselves. At the end, he wrote, come back, my son, Hauge misses you too, I am getting old day by day, and sooner or later the Dajin Kingdom will be of your generation.

After reading the letter, Li Yu hugged his head and sobbed in a low voice, Ortai shook his head and glanced at Li Fugui, this guy has made an old mistake again, he eats soft and not hard, and others are moved when they say a few thoughtful words. Li Huai lowered his head in disappointment - for a few years, not only did he fail to educate his younger brother, but he let his younger brother take the people of Fengzhou more and more Hu Hu, blaming the court for being insensitive, if the people of Fengzhou have something to eat, why not survive like a barbarian, and the younger brother will not be further and further away from the court.

"Da Bakshi, you are here to persuade you to surrender, I tell you clearly, the people of Fengzhou will never surrender, we have worked hard to create today's foundation, maintaining relations with the Ming State is the only way to survive, if you get on your ship, then you will become the mortal enemy of the Ming Kingdom, you will want to get rid of it quickly, Jin Guo Khan pushed us to the front, but he can bargain and negotiate with the Ming Kingdom, the abacus is good!" Ortai opened his mouth - Li Yu is not scheming, and he may do stupid things as soon as his brain is hot, he must first make his words clear.

"The great judgment has been made, our Great Khan and Erlu are like father and son, we should be a family, and it is the right way to be one," Kurtang argued, and the Fengzhou officials immediately showed disdain, he hesitated, stomped his foot and said, "That's it, let's spread out some words." ”

The Jin court was calm on the surface, but in fact the struggle was fierce, with the continuous victory of the war against the Ming State and Chahar, the Zhubeile and the ministers split into two camps: the conservatives resolutely advocated the maintenance of the old system of Zhushen, limited the authority of the Great Khan, the implementation of the Eight Banners Division, the republican governance of the country, and the opposition to the reform of Zhushen customs, this faction was naturally suppressed by Tiancong Khan, and after Amin was imprisoned, Daishan and Mang Gurtai were ousted from the throne, it seemed to have subsided a lot, but the middle and lower classes of the Eight Banners were still strong, and the old Zhushen were almost all conservatives; The reformists resolutely advocated learning Chinese law and learning Han customs, implementing Sinicization reform on the Eight Banners, imitating the Ming State to unify the government, gathering great power in the Great Khan, and opposing the old customs and self-containment.

Tiancong Khan initially supported the reformists, sent Dahai as the foreman, led a group of scholars in the Wenguan to translate the Hanshu classics, and edicted that the children of the Eight Banners under the age of 15 must study and practice rituals. However, the good times did not last long, Tiancong Khan suppressed the conservatives, and dealt a heavy blow to the reformists, and told the eight banners of all departments, where the eight banners of men and women are not allowed to change their hairstyle, wear Hanfu, the Dajin country's policy of governing the country is to consolidate the foundation of the restoration, the foundation of Zhushen lies in riding and shooting, and must not be abolished with Han etiquette and Han customs. Tiancong Khan also opened a department to take scholars, and selected 200 people from the more than 300 Han people who took the examination to assign official positions, which frightened the old Liao people, they realized that there was a possibility of being abandoned, and they changed their ways, Tong Yangxing, Shi Tingzhu, the two Sinicized Zhushen completely invested in the old Zhushen gang, Li Yongfang and Sun Degong hid at home and ignored the world, and the old Liao group collapsed. Sakhalian is also a little out of favor, the Great Khan trusts and supports Dolgon, who supports the Restoration of the Solid Foundation, the small circle of the year - Sakhalian, Kurtang, Dahai, Liu Xingzuo, plus peripheral members Yingge and Li Yu, now Li Yu and Liu Xingzuo have fled to Fengzhou to start a new business, Dahai concentrates on learning, only Kurtang and Inge follow Sakhalian to continue to shout for the sinicization of Dajin Kingdom, but how long can they last?

"Gentlemen, Yu Bucai, but also a scholar, Mencius said: 'There is no way, rise and cut down.' Celebrate the immortality of the father, and the recklessness is not over! I once entered Gyeonggi with the Dajin soldiers, and witnessed the tyranny of the Ming State and the poor livelihood of the people. In the past, Xianbei started in Donghu, but reformed the old system, broke away from Hu and entered China, and finally merged with the Han people in the Central Plains to establish a strong Central Plains Empire. We also want to establish a Liao country in Liaodong where the Zhushen, Han and Mongols are integrated with each other, and then realize the unification of the world, and to achieve this goal, we must learn from the Ming Kingdom, implement Sinicization and innovation, concentrate power in the imperial court, suppress the power of the Eight Banners, liberate the Qiding and Aha, and turn the private people into subjects of the imperial court, so as to enhance the national strength, but the old forces in Liaodong are too strong, and the power of innovation is too weak, and it is very necessary to have new forces to join. Erlu, Sakhalian Belle and I all hope that you will go back, and use the power of Fengzhou to support us in reforming the old system and implementing sinicization, if we succeed, we will increase our strength in a few years, so that we have the ability to destroy the tyranny and save the people of the world, the people of the Ming country are deeply affected by the harsh government, they will accept us! Kuhl said earnestly to Li Yu.

Kurtang's words startled the Fengzhou officials, and everyone looked at each other, Jin Guo's strength might be overtaken by Fengzhou in a few years, and he dared to think about destroying Ming, go crazy!

Yun Rong poked Chang Shu next to him and said in a low voice: "Knowing that you can't do it, Ling Shizun's pride is very admirable. ”

"My master is known as a saint, and he always takes the world as his own responsibility." Chang Shu blushed and lowered his head, complaining in his heart that Ku Dazui was crazy again.

Li Yu looked at Kuer in surprise for a long time before he slowly asked, "Master Xinghewei must have talked to Liu Xingzuo, does he support you?" ”

Kurtang shook his head in disappointment and replied, "Aita is completely disappointed in Dajin Kingdom, he just wants to hold the domain of Fengzhou. ”

"I'm the same, I don't trust Dajin, just like I don't trust the Ming Kingdom, Dajin has learned the Han law of the Ming Kingdom, and it will be a Ming Kingdom in the future, and the tyranny of the Ming Kingdom will be repeated today, so what's the point of destroying the Ming Dynasty? I don't want to be the king and hegemon, and I don't bother to overthrow the Ming Kingdom, I just want the people under my rule to survive and live a happy life," Li Yu replied, got up and walked a few steps, and said to Kurtang, "Actually, I will also support Sibeile when I return to Shenyang, consolidate the foundation and reform, promote peace and be more realistic, I have learned about the "Regulations on Leaving the Master", this is already the best effort that Sibeile has done." I have been to the northwest of the Ming Kingdom, under the natural and man-made disasters, the people can still survive by taking refuge in large households as slaves, and the subjects of the imperial court have to endure the harsh taxes and the bullying of dog officials, and the days are even more unbearable, the same is true of Liaodong, the Han people and the Mongols are still alive in the Aha of Zhushen, if they are taken out of nationality as a people, and then governed by the Han Law and Han officials, I am afraid that the common people only have a dead end, master, the Han law of the Ming Kingdom may not be good, and the result of sinicization may not be benevolent, and the people may be more miserable. ”

"You have changed, it is rumored in the Eight Banners that you are going to follow the old path of Zhushen, I still don't believe it, this is a step backwards, you still want to return to the poor little tribe in Wula Mountain, so confused!" Kurtang was disappointed, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Actually, I don't know which way to go, I just want the people who follow me to live, but I will never take the old road of Ming and Jin," Li Yu helped Kuer to sit down, and said softly, "Master, you go back and tell Sibeile, he is still my elder, if you want to come to Fengzhou, I will personally serve, in the future, the world will be peaceful, I will go back to Liaodong to accompany him to ride and hunt, so that his old man can live comfortably, but I will not go with him, I want to find a new way of life for the people." ”

"Da Bakshi, your method may not work, now is not the troubled times of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Ming Kingdom is too strong, we Mongolians once dominated the world, but in the end we retreated to the desert, we are always Yidi in the eyes of the Han people, they will not accept us." Ortai said to Kurthorn.

"That's because you are too proud, self-contained, Zhushen is different, we have been with the Han people for hundreds of years, and there is also Han blood in our veins, we are willing to sinicize, Zhuyi into China is Huaxia, follow the trend to overthrow the tyranny, everyone in the world can become a family." Kurthorn replied firmly.

Li Fugui suddenly shook his head and said, "If the Ming Kingdom does not practice the Han law, then you are not wrong." ”

This sentence startled Kurtang, and he hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"The Ming court started from the grass, but it did not follow the Song law, but imitated the Tang law and adopted the Yuan law, barbaric nature and lack of leniency, although the law of barbarism is not as good as it, can Da Bakshi know?"

Kurtang began to be restless, he had already seen the problem of "Da Ming Law", conservative and narrow-minded, too powerful, and the vigorous Dajin Kingdom did not mix, if the Ming Kingdom's Han Law was wrong, then wouldn't it be a mistake to learn the Ming Law.

"Yu has been doing learning for decades, and found that there are many mistakes in today's Sinology, only by studying the classics of the sages, the unity of knowledge and action, can we find true insights, if the big Bakshi wants to implement sinicization, you may wish to consider it carefully, maybe the clothes are no longer in the pass!" Li Fugui took another dose of fierce medicine.
