684, fog and clouds hide the sun (4)
Yu Lian took the tea and quietly put it in Yu Guozhen's hand.
Although her current identity is completely different, the habit she has developed over the past 20 years, as long as she is by Yu Guozhen's side, she will never allow others to do the matter of serving tea and water, and even Fang Ziyi can't take away her work.
This is not quite like the solemn and loving principal of Xinxiang Primary School.
Yu Guozhen took a sip of the tea gently, and the slightly bitter taste rolled around on the tip of his tongue, and then turned into a hint of sweetness. The invention of tea drinking by the Chinese ancestors is the supreme perception of life, and after enduring hardships and hard work, there is sweetness, which may not come from success itself, but from the process of pursuing success.
Nalan Mingzhu, who was kneeling on the ground, did not dare to raise his head, he was not yet twenty years old, but he looked old because of the erosion of wind and frost, since he was sensible, he had listened to the reputation of the person sitting on it, and when he began to study, these Jurchens were driven into hiding by the person sitting on it.
In the past, he hated the person sitting on it very much, because he not only ruined the bright prospects of the Jurchens entering the Central Plains, but also drove the Jurchens away from the land of Liaodong. This kind of hatred has become a deep-rooted fear, and now there is no longer any saying among the Jurchens that "the Jurchens are dissatisfied and invincible", but instead use "Yu Laohu is coming" to scare children.
The word Yu Laohu can stop children from crying at night.
At least he Nalan Mingzhu was frightened by this name, although not long after the old-looking Han man helped them report, Yu Guozhen asked him, the leader, to come here, but when he arrived at the door, Nalan Mingzhu knelt down and rubbed his knees into Yu Guozhen's house.
After entering, he was still trembling, and he did not dare to raise his head, so he could only support his torso with his hands and look down at the ground.
The floor of the Han people is paved with porcelain tiles, which is very smooth and extremely hard, which makes his knees ache, but Nalan Mingzhu does not dare to relax a little.
"Your name is Nalan Mingzhu?"
After setting up the score, Yu Guozhen finally spoke.
Xia Yunyi, who was sitting next to him, and Xia Wanchun, who was standing on the side, both felt relieved, they saw Yu Guozhen more than once or twice, and naturally knew that Yu Guozhen was not the kind of person who liked to put on a show, and few people made people wait, and they liked to get straight to the point. Perhaps only when a Jurchen or a European came to ask for a meeting, he would put on a good show and make the other party wait a little longer.
This is not only to consume the will of the other party, but also to put more pressure on the other party, after all, whether it is a Jurchen or a European, they come to see Yu Guozhen for Yu Guozhen.
"The slave is the pearl of the Yehenalan clan, but from today on, there will be no Jurchen Yehenalan clan, only the Han herdsman Nalan family."
Although Nalan Mingzhu was nervous, sweat climbed up his forehead, but he still spoke smoothly and he could speak very fluent Chinese.
"Your Chinese is good, who did you learn it from?" Yu Guozhen put down the teacup and asked slowly.
"Yes,..., it's Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan."
"Oh, it turned out to be them...... How are they now, are they still alive? ”
Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan were on the list of traitors of the Huaxia Army, so they followed Jianlu with all their hearts, even after the defeat of Dolgon, they followed Duofeng again, and after Duofeng was stabbed to death, they switched to Daishan Anyway, it was just a change of master for them.
Just like now, Dai Shan died of old age and illness, and Jianyu was in civil strife again, so they made suggestions for Dai Shan's grandson Chang Adai, but this time they failed to succeed in being defeated by the chaotic tribes, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan I were both killed, and Chang Adai fled far away and went to take refuge in the Rakshasas.
Yu Guozhen has received a secret report on these things, but it is much simpler than what Nalan Mingzhu said in person. Especially the news of the Rakshasa people, these bear-like hard-working people, in the case of a lack of food in winter, even feed on people, which is even more cruel than Jianjiao.
For Yu Guozhen, the Rakshasa people are definitely not an unexpected enemy.
He knew that polar bears' greed for a warm land was ingrained in their bones, and they dreamed of washing their boots on the warm southern beaches. If the Anglo-Saxons are insidious vipers, the source of many of humanity's troubles for a long time, then the Rakshasa is a wild boar that breaks into the master's garden, greedily devouring everything.
If his guess is correct, then the Rakshasas that the Jurchens met north of Blackwater were just hired hooligans and scoundrels with some military training, and there may have been some Cossacks among them.
Still, he was surprised by the speed with which the Rakshasa people were advancing.
According to the exact information obtained from the mouth of the Nalan Pearl, the Rakshasas had established three strongholds in the eastern part of the Beihai (Lake Baikal), and used these three strongholds as a springboard to quickly invade the southeast, establishing more than a dozen fortresses and strongholds along the river, using the river in summer and the ice in winter. Moreover, the will of the Rakshasa people to advance is very resolute, and the goal is also extremely clear, that is, the northeast of China.
Yu Guozhen didn't know that this was also one of the changes that his arrival brought to history, the wealth of China had long spread in Europe, for the Rakshasa people who could not come to China from the sea to make a fortune, to the east, across the cold tundra, towards the legendary sun rising in the sun of the sun in the country, it became their only choice.
So they came to the East in advance and met Jianyu in advance. And this time it was the will of the Rakshasa Tsar, so more people came to the Far East than in history.
"Did the Rakshasas really eat people?" Yu Guozhen asked again.
"Yes...... Be! Nalan Mingzhu's body trembled.
Yu Guozhen nodded, looked at this Jurchen who was originally the prime minister of Xuanye, the natural enemy of rabbits in history, and after a while, said lightly: "I know about this." ”
"Please also ask Your Majesty to be a minion..."Wait a minute, I didn't say I wanted to help you." Yu Guozhen interrupted him: "Five years ago, after the fall of Dol, I sent an envoy to the Jurchen tribes, asking you to abandon your weapons and move inward, and surrender under the banner of the Huaxia army, but you refused. In the past five years, I have also taken in the surrendered Jurchen tribes more than once, and not only have you not surrendered, but you have repeatedly tried to make trouble for me. Now that the Rakshasas are forced to stand it anymore, they have come to surrender - what do you think we are in Huaxia, a hostel where you can come and go? ”
Yu Guozhen's rebuke made Nalan Mingzhu dare not breathe.
If ordinary people say this, it only proves that this person is not enough, but Yu Guozhen said this, but with a domineering spirit, and Yu Guozhen's next sentence is even more domineering: "The people of China are in the country, and if there is any misintention, they must pay the price!" ”
"Yes, the minions understand that the minions are the whole clan and are willing to pay the price." After hesitating for a moment, Nalan Mingzhu finally said firmly.
"It's not Fulin's mother and son...... That price alone is not enough. ”
"The slave only knew that when the slave came, the family agreed to be a slave for the master for three hundred years, and the master just drove it!"
Yu Guozhen smiled slightly.
"How many people are left in your tribe?"
"Three...... 30,000 ......"
"Is it young and strong, or is it all men, women, and children?"
"All."
Xia Yunyi heard this number and breathed a cold breath slightly.
It was only five years later, and the Jurchens who fled to the north of Heishui only assassinated 30,000 people, and they had coerced more than 100,000 people at the beginning.
He looked at Yu Guozhen's gaze, with more admiration, Yu Guozhen did not wave the army and directly entered the suppression, and there were quite dissatisfied voices among the people, including Xia Yunyi, who also felt that Yu Guozhen was suspected of indulgence. But now that I think about it, Yu Guozhen is bloodless, and he has solved this border trouble that has plagued Daming for many years!
"More than 30,000 people...... I know, among you, you are going to take 500 people as dead soldiers to serve as guides for the Huaxia army, and the rest of you, because the Jurchens of the various tribes must be punished, and you will accept any punishment one by one? ”
Yu Guozhen's request made Xia Yunyi once again cast a complicated gaze on him.
It seems that Yu Guozhen agreed to Nalan Mingzhu's request, but in fact, Yu Guozhen did the most cruel thing: forcing Nalan Mingzhu to agree and taking out the last strength of the Jurchen tribe as a dead soldier.
The so-called dead soldier is a person who may be sent to carry out a mortal mission at any time. And there are only more than 30,000 Jurchen people left, so the number of brave and warlike warriors among them is at most two to three thousand.
Drawing out fifteen hundred, the rest of the Jurchens almost completely lost their ability to protect themselves.
Nalan Mingzhu also understands this, but as long as the old and young of the tribe can survive, such sacrifices are necessary.
"Thank you for the generosity of the master, the slave is finally ...... I can finally bathe in the sunshine of my master..............."
Jianyu's kung fu is also quite good, and Nalan Mingzhu was originally able to speak well, and he learned for a long time from Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan, two traitors who are used to Jianlu's sycophants, so at least the level of sycophants is close to the first-class level of Confucianism among the Han people. Of course, Yu Guozhen didn't eat this, he glanced at Xia Yunyi: "Mr. Xia, what do you think of disposing of the Jurchen tribes like this?" ”
"The Jurchens must re-divide the various ministries and not make them unified." Xia Yunyi suggested: "If its orders are unified, there will be dissenting hearts." ”
Yu Guozhen smiled and nodded, he was not afraid that the Jurchens would regenerate their dissenting hearts, there were only 30,000 Jurchens left, even if they wanted to develop again, they must have a suitable environment, and Yu Guozhen's treatment of them was not as simple as he said now, he wanted to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle and completely take away the Jurchen tribes from the white mountains and black waters that could make them develop and grow.
Since they are willing to be herding slaves, let them serve as shepherd slaves to Huaxia and supply the wool and leather needed by Huaxia's industry.
Nalan Mingzhu heard this, but he didn't dare to say a word of opposition, if they didn't reach the end of the road, how could they shave their hair and attract Yu Guozhen?
However, he still wanted to fight for his tribe as much as possible, so after a short pause, he said in a low voice: "The slave has brought some small gifts on this trip, all with the mother and son of Fulin, I expect it to arrive in a few days, and when the master ascends the throne, the slave will present it and talk about the heart." ”
"Hehe, I will join in the fun, yesterday there was a man from Europa, who claimed to be the envoy of the monarch of France, and happened to meet the founding of China, so he wanted to come to congratulate." When Yu Guozhen said this, he suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Chen Wozi came with them, Mr. Xia, I haven't seen Chen Wozi for a long time, right?" ”
Xia Yunyi heard that Chen Zilong was also here, and he was overjoyed: "Wanbang is coming to the dynasty, it is the joy of China, and Xia is here to ...... Congratulations, Your Majesty! ”
The first time he addressed Yu Guozhen as "Your Majesty", although he was a little slow and hesitant, he was sincere. (To be continued)
