—————— Dividing Line——————

Salhu guards the mansion of Wanhu Delenza, and the owner has changed at this time.

Countless Wu Yi soldiers came in and out, and under the leadership of the captive Delenzha family, they found large and small boxes from hidden places such as cellars, rockeries, secret rooms, and mezzanine rooms. On the square in front of the main hall, the boxes were thrown to the ground, and they were all opened, and under the sunlight, there was a piece of jewelry.

The soldiers opened the boxes one by one, and the contents were brought out, and then they were divided into different levels, and some of the literate soldiers were sitting behind their desks, writing hard.

There are piles of gold and silver in the square, large pieces of rubies, sapphires, emeralds, especially the Dadong pearls that are special products of the Northeast, in addition to a large number of furs of rare birds and animals, old ginseng and other mountain goods.

Shi Dazhu walked around the square, with a dead face. He was very uninterested in doing this errand, but Wang Dachun escorted the baggage in the back, and such matters involving property were sensitive, and the other generals did not dare to touch their hands, so he had to come. Shi Dazhu secretly thought that if Lao Wang was here, he was afraid that the old face would be full of folds when he smiled.

Lian Zining moved a chair and sat at the door of the hall, he leaned on the back of the chair, his fingers lightly tapped his knees, and his expression was lazy.

He was holding a pearl in his hand, and on a small table in front of him, there was a huge jade plate with a diameter of three feet, and hundreds of pearls were scattered on it.

Lian Zining raised the pearl in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Delenza stood behind him. is still dressed in brocade clothes, but the majesty on his body is gone, he is hunched at the waist, and his face is full of flattering expressions. With a big smile.

Looking at the pearl in Lian Zining's hand, an indescribable pain flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "The eldest lord doesn't know, this northern pearl has to be in the dark, and there is a glimmer of light, but it can't be seen in the sun." ”

"Oh?" Lian Zining glanced at him with interest and said with a smile: "I see." ”

Delenzha led 3,000 remnants of the army to kneel at the gate of the mansion to welcome the Great Tomorrow Army. The generals who had already entered the city didn't know what to do, so they asked Lian Zining that the army had already entered the city anyway, and they were not afraid of any storms they would set off. Lian Zining decided immediately. Accept the surrender - killing is only a means to motivate the warriors, but it can't solve the problem, and he thought that these Jurchens would be stubborn so he gave the order not to seal the knife, but he didn't expect them to be so soft, and they surrendered as soon as they hit. Case. The strategy is about to change.

Delenzha was extremely docile and respectful, and he did not disobey Lian Zining's orders, even if Lian Zining asked him to stand behind him and watch Wu Yijun raid his home.

Lian Zining waved his hand. Then a soldier brought a black cloth and covered the door of the hall several times. The room suddenly went dark, and another soldier lit a faint light.

Lian Zining looked at it again. Sure enough, I noticed the difference. The pearl was huge, the size of a fist, and it was so bright that it was so dazzling that it was fascinating to look at.

Lian Zining sighed, but he understood why women were so obsessed with jewelry, let alone women, even if it was him, when he saw this big Dongzhu, he couldn't hide what he wanted to have.

He leaned down and gently threw the round big eastern pearl into the jade plate, but saw that the big eastern pearl seemed to have spirituality, rolled in the jade plate, and then fixed in the center and did not move, and the hundreds of small beads around him were all around. It is said that it is a small bead, which is compared with the big big eastern pearl with a big fist, in fact, these pearls are also the size of a longan, which is very large, and the most rare thing is that all of them are round and radiant, which is an excellent quality. If you sell it alone, you don't want to get one without hundreds or thousands of taels of silver. …,

As for the fist-sized Dadong Pearl, it can already be regarded as a rare treasure, and it is not something that money can measure the price.

These longan-sized pearls surrounded the big eastern pearl, not close or distant, but just circled around it in the jade plate, like the stars holding the moon.

There seems to be a special force field connection between them.

This scene made Lian Zining amazed.

He thought for a moment and exclaimed: "This is a strange thing that is unique in the Great Eastern Pearl, the mother of ten thousand pearls?" ”

"The eldest master is really knowledgeable, and what he said is not bad at all!" Delenza is a smart man, otherwise he would not have succeeded in switching his role so quickly, and he also knows that the things in this house now no longer belong to him, so he still tries to know each other, so as not to cause trouble. He clicked his lips, half pity and half showed off: "This is the most high-grade and rarest walking bead in the Great Eastern Pearl, a mother bead, three hundred and sixty-five beads, one bead and one hundred sons, if there are gods, it can be called the magic of creation." And the most precious thing is that this mother bead is particularly large, and these beads are the same size, but also round, in this plate can not stop at all, all the time is turning, in the name of the beads. ”

Lian Zining stretched out his hand in the jade plate and flicked these pearls into chaos, but saw that these beads were spinning around for a while, and then they resumed the pattern just now, a mother bead and three hundred and sixty-five child beads reflected each other, and the warm light almost illuminated the hall.

Lian Zining took a deep breath, and couldn't help but feel the magic of creation, he asked softly: "How much can these beads sell for if they are given to Daming?" ”

"This, the small one is really not clear." Delenzha said: "But before there was a Ming merchant who took away a bead from here since he was a child, similar to these beads, the color and quality are similar, when he gave out five hundred taels of silver, and then the little one thought that something was wrong, like this bead, how can it be worth five hundred taels?" He must have deceived me! ”

"And then?" Lian Zining asked with interest.

"And then." Delenza's face was a little embarrassed: "The little one sent someone to arrest him back and torture him with words and deeds, but the person couldn't torture him, and said it, it turned out that such a bead, if it was taken to the capital of Daming, it could be sold for five thousand taels of silver, and if it was taken to the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River, it would be a few points more." ”

"Five thousand taels!" Lian Zining gently spit out these words. A bead is 5,000 taels, and these beads add up, the mother bead is matched with the child bead, and the price is not as simple as accumulation. I'm afraid that on the basis of accumulation, it will have to be doubled.

But I didn't expect that here in Delenza, such a rare treasure was harvested.

This set of beads. If you go to the capital, I'm afraid that those wealthy families will have to go crazy.

Even for those top wealthy families, this is already a priceless treasure, enough to be left as a family heirloom for future generations, and whenever there is a major celebration such as ancestor worship, it is even specially taken out for people to worship and appreciate.

But this thing is like a jade seal. It's not something that people and ministers can have, if it is known by the palace, I'm afraid that it will find trouble for itself. Presumably, after Delenzha got this priceless treasure, he also put it on the shelf. The hidden secret room did not dare to let people know at all, otherwise, this set of treasures should be in the treasure room of the Jurchen Great Khan.

But now, it's his own collection.

The great husband stands in heaven and earth. Isn't it just about the most beautiful woman, playing with the finest jewelry, enjoying the most delicious food, and wielding the most powerful power in your hands?

"Command Wang Dachun. Let the craftsmen of the army make a box of pure gold, and there should be an inlaid jade plate as a lining inside. Put these beads away. Lian Zining instructed the guards on the side. …,

"Yes, sir!" Several of the guards did not squint. Carefully took the plate of beads down.

"You guys here, there are often merchants from the Ming Kingdom?" Lian Zining looked at Delenzha and suddenly asked.

Delenzha was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Yes, our Haixi Jurchen Gelinwei, Salhu, as well as important towns such as Gulu Hewei, and even the Jurchen Khan's court, and even the Beishan Jurchen Department farther and further north, are all infested with Han merchants. Our Salhu is a small place, and I heard that in the Khan court of the Great Khan, there are many shops opened by Han Chinese. As for us, sometimes there are merchants who come to buy things, and in some years, when they don't, they take them to the Khan's court to buy and sell. ”

"How many times a year do they usually come over?"

"I can't say, in the past few years, the times were good, and sometimes I even came once a month, and hundreds or thousands of people came to Hulala. I haven't been able to do it since last year, and I only came here in March this year. "Delenzada.

"Hundreds, thousands? On such a large scale? Lian Zining frowned: "Those border generals are all eating rice?" Put so many businessmen out? ”

Lian Zining asked, "You haven't had any crooked thoughts?" ”

"It's moved, why hasn't it moved? Those Han businessmen are so rich, who doesn't see it? Seeing that Lian Zining didn't seem to have a good impression of those Han merchants, Delenzha was a little bolder, and sneered: "Not only are they small, but some other powerful people have also moved, but it is not so easy, the resolute general will not let them move, and those large caravans are numerous, all of them are guarded by hundreds of cavalry, and they all have crossbows, they are not hard stubble, and they can't eat them." The generals sometimes sent troops to protect them. ”

He lowered his voice slightly, and said sneakily: "I heard that they have a lot of good things, they buy mountain goods and pearls from us, and sell a large number of armor, food, and weapons, and the maps we used when we invaded the south, all of which they provided." Some of the big businessmen are still the guests of the resolute general, and they have the title of a thousand households on our side......"

"Squeak!" With a soft sound, Lian Zining's big hand pinched the deputy of the chair tightly, and the knuckles of his fingers turned a little white.

"These damn merchants! Stupid worm of the country! ”

Lian Zining secretly frustrated his teeth, there are businessmen who can fornicate with the Jurchens, he has known this news for a long time, but he didn't expect that this group of people would be so unscrupulous and so disregarding the country's righteousness. And these businessmen can sell things over, regard the Ming border defense as nothing, and can get a large number of contraband such as ordnance, if you want to say that everyone behind them, no one believes it.

Stupid worm of the country!

Lian Zining thought about his time and space, wasn't the reason why the Jurchens were able to repeatedly conquer the border was because the Shanxi merchants provided them with a large amount of grain, grass, war horses, and even maps and border defenses?

It is precisely by virtue of this traitorous act of betraying the country and ancestors that after the Jurchens entered the customs, they repaid the favor, and the Jin merchants prospered for hundreds of years!

Lian Zining took a breath, calmed down his anger slightly, and secretly said in his heart, if I bump into it, I will definitely kill all of them!

At this time, Shi Dazhu said loudly at the bottom of the stairs: "My lord, the wealth has been counted." ”

Lian Zining's interest immediately increased, and he said, "Come in and talk." ”

Shi Dazhu strode up. He glanced at Delenzha and said, "Lord Qiyu, there are a total of 550,000 taels of silver and 50,000 taels of sand gold. There are more than 800 ginseng branches, including 16 ginseng branches that are more than 100 years old, more than 3,000 animal skins, and countless sundries. In addition, the property of all the residents of the city has been confiscated, and the statistics are being counted at this time. There are so many that I am afraid that I will not be able to count them for a while. ”

"Good work at scraping the ground." Lian Zining nodded and patted Delenza's shoulder. Delenza smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to speak. …,

"Since you have surrendered me, I will not kill you, I will not kill you, I will not even Zining. Grievances and grievances are clearly distinguished. Lian Zining looked at Delenzha and said with a smile: "I have a guard under my hand, the tenth guard of the Wuyi Army, and all of them are Jurchens, so be it." Go to the 10th Guard, be a conductor and know each other! changed from 10,000 households to the same knowledge, but he was wronged. ”

Delenza was ecstatic in his heart, and he was already extremely happy to be able to save a life. But I didn't expect to be an official! And he is also a high-ranking official like the commander Tongzhi, although this tenth guard is not a good place to go when he hears it. But he couldn't care about anything now.

He fell to his knees and thumped his head a few times. He said loudly: "Little one, thank you for lifting up!" Thank you for lifting up! ”

Lian Zining waved his hand: "You don't have to be so polite, I have a righteous son, who is also my general Nurhachi, who is a wild female Zhenren, and they are of the same origin, but they can be close and close." ”

Delenzha trembled in his heart and laughed. He had seen Nurhachi, and soon after he led his troops into the city, he killed dozens of Jurchen soldiers by himself, as fierce as a tiger, and he did not dare to provoke such a person.

When Lian Zining was busy taking stock of the loot, Xia Zikai was not idle.

On the square in front of the Wanhu Mansion, tens of thousands of Jurchens in the city are concentrated here.

They were dressed in strings of hundreds, and each of them tied their hands with ropes, like a string of grasshoppers pierced by grass stems, waiting here to die.

More than a dozen desks were placed here, and a string of Jurchen people walked in front of these desks, and a soldier who knew the Jurchen language asked their names, and then the document wrote down their names one by one.

These Jurchens, killing them all is not a way, if you don't kill them, it will be a scourge in the end, Lian Zining adopted Xia Zikai's suggestion and incorporated all of them into the tenth guard to enrich the power of the tenth guard.

These Jurchens all looked discouraged, their faces were full of despair, men, women and children, and some women still held children in their arms, and the children were frightened and let out a cry, but none of them cast their eyes. Even the child's mother kept moving at will, just scolding in a very low voice, trying to stop the child's crying.

A Han officer frowned and looked over, and the richly dressed woman hurriedly bowed her waist, with a flattering expression on her face, and covered the child's mouth vigorously, for fear that the Han master would be displeased because of this.

Fortunately, the Han officer just glanced at it and turned his head, and the woman breathed a long sigh of relief, but the apprehension in her heart did not disappear for half a minute.

Even the most stupid Jurchens know that the hatred between the Jurchens and the Han people cannot be eliminated.

When young people were young, they grew up in the stories of their parents, and many of the stories told by their parents were proudly told about the Jurchen battles, and in the battles of the Jurchen rise, I don't know how many Han people were killed by entire villages, towns, and cities. Later, the Jurchens repeatedly invaded the south, and they were stained with the blood of the Han people.

Now it's the Han people's turn to kill people.

What fate will we face? All killed? The Jurchens thought in horror.

To their great horror, after the count, a group of heavily armed cavalry rushed in and surrounded them.

"Are you going to die?" At this moment, I don't know how many people were full of despair, and bursts of crying came from the crowd.

The cavalry team cracked, and a pale young man in the uniform of a commanding envoy was surrounded by everyone and rode out. Beside him, it was Delenza, as if in order to draw a clear line, he changed his clothes, but he couldn't find the official uniform of the fourth-grade military attache in a hurry, so he had to put on a mountain armor of a Ming general, and his fat body shrunk in the armor, which looked quite nondescript. He himself couldn't feel it, and he sat on the horse looking forward to himself, very proud. …,

Xia Zikai slowly swept through the crowd and nodded with satisfaction, this batch of Jurchens. Compared with the ones in the tenth guard, it is much stronger, not only are there many men, but there are also more men in the prime of life, which are all good cannon fodder.

Xia Zikai coughed lightly. Looking at the faces of these frightened Jurchens, I suddenly felt a burst of happiness.

He raised his voice and said, "You all know this person next to me, right?" Salhu guards the lord of Wanhu Delenza. ”

Delenzha nodded to Xia Zikai and arched his hand.

Xia Zikai snorted coldly with disdain in his heart, and continued: "Lord Delenzha abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and by the grace of Uncle Meng, he is now the commander of the tenth guard of the Wuyi Army, and the men. It is also about to be incorporated into the tenth guard. Fight with my Warriors. ”

"Joining the army? Join the Wu Yi Army? The Jurchens in the square were stunned, their first reaction was incredible, and then their hearts were ecstatic and happy!

"Don't die! Finally, you don't have to die! As for joining Wu Yijun, whatever. Join and join! Anyway, you don't have to die. ”

Of course, there are also those who are not convinced, a sturdy man stood up, pointed at Xia Zikai and scolded.

Xia Zikai frowned and asked, "What did he say?" ”

A wild girl next to him said, "He said let us let him go." ”

Xia Zikai waved his hand: "Kill!" ”

The guards around him immediately moved. A flurry of arrows came over, and at that moment the man and a dozen or so people around him fell to the ground, lying in a pool of blood.

The surrounding Jurchens immediately moved out of the way, only to see that the crowd formed a circular encirclement. In the middle, there was a pool of blood, and more than a dozen corpses were lying down. Some of them are not dead yet, and they are struggling with one pump after another.

Xia Zikai didn't care. smiled and said: "If you have any ideas, this is the end." ”

In the eyes of the Jurchens, his smile was like a demon's smile.

The Jurchens were silent.

It's night, the hall of the Ten Thousand Households.

A huge map of Nuer Gandusi hung on the wall, and the generals stood solemnly, staring intently at the map.

Lian Zining said in a deep voice: "In today's battle, all the generals will work together to level Salhu in one sentence, which is gratifying, but remember that this is just the first battle of the northern expedition, and it is just a beginning, and the road ahead of us is still long!" ”

He turned around, lightly tapped the tactical stick in his hand on the position of Sarhu, that is, the Gulu River Guard, and slashed heavily in the northwest direction, and said: "From Sarhu to the west, all the way to the Mongolian steppe, to the north, all the way to the location of the Jianzhou Jurchens, of which there are more than 2,200 miles from east to west, and more than 800 miles from north to south, it is a thousand miles of fertile wilderness, on which there are more than 200,000 Haixi Jurchens, the land is vast and sparsely populated, they are not like our Han people, they do not live in big cities, but live in small tribes one by one, a tribe, the population is only more than a thousand people, And between the tribes, there is a long distance. This gives us convenience, so our next plan is! ”

Lian Zining slowly glanced at the generals, all the generals straightened their waists, and Lian Zining said in a deep voice: "Three cavalry guards, five hundred households' troops gathered together to form an attack cluster, commanded by a deputy thousand households. Between each attack cluster, they gathered twenty miles together, marched in unison, kept in touch, and quickly advanced to the northwest, opening a large net and covering all the Jurchen settlements! Wang Dachun, the official led the dragoons and Ling, escorted the baggage and seized, and supervised the tenth guard. If there is a small target, slaughter it directly, if there are hard bones that can't be gnawed, you can contact the surrounding robes to attack, if you really can't eat it, wait for the tenth guard to go up and beat it down. ”

"Now the Haixi Jurchen army is still besieged under Zhenyuan Mansion, and I don't know the situation here at all, but this situation will not last long, and the Jurchens are not stupid, once we get the news, we can no longer be so unscrupulous! Therefore, the soldiers are fast, and they must fight quickly, at least before they react, solve the real sound power of Haixi Nu! ”

"Just one word, quick! The soldiers carry military rations, if it is not enough, solve it on the spot, anyway, there are a lot of Jurchen villages! ”

When the generals heard this, their eyes lit up.

"Do you get it?" Lian Zining asked in a loud voice.

"Understood!" Everyone shouted in unison.

On the tenth day of August in the 52nd year of Zhengde, Wu Yi's army captured Salhu, plundered countless property in the city, and all the 10,900 Jurchens in the city were incorporated into the 10th Guard.

On August 11, Wu Yi's army burned Salhu to the ground, and the army went west.

At this time, Gangyi was still in a coma, and the Haixi Jurchen army was still besieging Zhenyuan Mansion. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
