Chapter Ninety-Five: Falling from the Tower

However, when Zilharang saw Curb Pilon appear in front of him, Fang Cai's shame had long been thrown out of the clouds, and he jumped up from his chair again: "Curb Billon, it turns out that you are all making trouble!" Take others to fight Shengjing City, you are still not a child of the Eight Banners, do you still have the face to see your father under the Nine Springs? ”

"Zilharang!" Kupilon sneered: "Do I have the face to see my father under Jiuquan You don't need to worry about it, you are still worried about how you will see the Great Khan in the future, right?" Have you forgotten what the Great Khan told you in the first place? What crime did Dorgon commit when they killed the Great Khan? Why don't you fight against them, but join them in the fire? ”

"You-" It was as if he had been punched head-on, and all the words were muffled in his throat and unable to speak. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Huang Taiji's words to beware of the Dolgon brothers before parting are still in his ears, but Huang Taiji has already turned into a pile of white bones under the loess at this time, and he is in the same palace as the murderer, which is unreasonable.

"Kupilon, this can't all be blamed on Zilharang!" Dai Shan couldn't listen to it, so he stepped forward to explain for him: "At that time, the eighth brother was already dead, and Dolgon and they had two white flag soldiers, and their strength was similar to me and Zilharang, if we didn't make concessions, the result would inevitably be that the children of the Eight Banners would kill each other, and the relatives hated the enemies quickly, and Zilharang and I had to focus on the overall situationβ€”β€”"

"Fart! Fuck it! Without waiting for Dai Shan to continue, he scolded loudly: "The Great Khan is the master, and you and Dolgon are slaves, how can there be a reason why the master is killed by the slave, and the slave does not avenge the master because the enemy is powerful?" Afraid that the children of the Eight Banners will kill each other? There is no distinction between the top and the bottom, and what is the use of the disloyal and unrighteous Eight Banners even if there are millions? If Dorgon does not die, you will not be worthy of being a man for a day. Dai Shan, Dolgon said in the tent at the time, he killed the Great Khan in order to avenge his mother's forced killing, and you also have a share in this, don't think that if you are a shrunken turtle Dolgon, they will let you go! ”

Dai Shan's face was pale when he was scolded by Ji Bilong's words, his mouth opened and closed but he couldn't say half a word, he was already over fifty years old at the time, and he was already a veteran among the relatives and nobles of Hou Jin, even Huang Taiji had to call him a second brother in private, very polite, where did he receive such insults, and he completely occupied the reason, and he didn't refute it with half a word.

Ah Gui listened to the hearty scolding of Kubilon on the side, and couldn't help but applaud secretly in his heart. Regardless of whether he was a friend or foe at the beginning, his devotion to the Lord, his unswerving danger and hardship, and his behavior and spirit of avenging the Lord were in line with the moral values of the time. But if he continues to scold like this, I'm afraid that Daishan and Zilharang will have to lie down, which will not be good. So Ah Gui stepped forward, pulled him down behind him and said with a smile: "Two, General Curb is too excited, why don't you let him explain to the two of you?" ”

Jierharang and Daishan were scolded for being bloody, but they didn't dare to fight against Curb Pilon, at this time they were already angry, Zierharang was younger, and he was more angry, so he simply turned his head and threw a back to Ah Gui. Dai Shan asked angrily, "Who are you?" What else is there to say with the two of us? ”

"His name is Ah Gui, and he is the deputy commander of Lord Jinong's army!" Ah Gui said with a smile: "This time, with the help of Lord Jipilon, I can meet the two of you, which is really a blessing for three lives!" ”

"Jinong? Are you Liu Cheng's subordinate? Dai Shan couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Yes, who else would dare to call himself Jinong except my family?" Ah Gui smiled and said: "Lord Daishan, your son Yue Tuo is all right with Lord Jinong, there is no need to worry!" ”

Dai Shan suddenly heard his son's name, and swallowed back the words that he was about to scold, Rao is he has experienced a hundred battles, but the natural family affection between father and son cannot be eliminated, the beard under his chin trembled slightly, and two lines of old tears have flowed down.

"You thief!" Zilharang heard it clearly on the sidelines and jumped up: "You said that I colluded with Dolgon, but you colluded with Liu Cheng to lead the enemy army into Shengjing City, is this also the will of the Great Khan?" ”

"Of course it is the will of the Great Khan!" He replied confidently: "After the defeat of the Great Khan, he was besieged by the Dolgon brothers, and he and Babutai desperately protected the Great Khan to break out of the siege, but found that the Great Khan had been seriously injured and was no longer successful. Before he died, the Great Khan asked me to cut off his head and go to Liu Cheng, and I had already entrusted the Eight Banners and Dajin to him, and I was carrying out the Great Khan's last order this time! ”

"Joke!" Zilharang laughed angrily: "Do you think I'm a fool? How could the Great Khan entrust the children of the Eight Banners and Dajin to Liu Cheng for his own selfishness? It is clear that you are greedy for wealth and wealth and kill the Great Khan, and you have taken refuge in Liu Cheng, and you have to come back to talk nonsense and demagoguery! ”

"At that time, I was not the only one in front of the Great Khan, there was also the Nine Bel Babutai, if you don't believe me, you can just ask him yourself!" Suppilon sneered: "Otherwise, who do you think persuaded Abatai?" ”

"What? Even the blue flag is also-" Zilharang was taken aback, although he couldn't accept everything that Curb Pilon said emotionally, but deep down in his heart, there was a voice faintly agreeing with Curb Pillon's words - only what Curb Pilon said was true, Abatai's previous abnormal behavior could be reasonably explained, but why did Huang Taiji take refuge in Liu Cheng? Is it just to get revenge on Dolgon? But isn't he such a careless person?

"Zilharang, I'm afraid he's telling the truth!" Dai Shan sighed: "If you can't beat them, join them, this is exactly what the eighth brother does!" ”

Zilharang sat down in his chair, dumbfounded, his mind swollen with countless thoughts, conflicting, as if the world he had faced since he was a child had collapsed, and suddenly he exclaimed, "It's not my fault! So he rushed to the window and jumped out. Ah Gui hurriedly ran to the window and looked down, only to see that Zilharang had fallen in a pool of blood.

"Quick, get a doctor!" Ah Gui hurriedly shouted to the guards below, ran downstairs quickly, and helped Zilharang up, only to see that his pupils were dilated, and he was already in a semi-comatose state. With his years of experience on the battlefield, he knew that most of them were hopeless.

"Doctor, do you see if there is a way?" Ah Gui asked the doctor who came with the hope of what happened, and the doctor opened his eyes and looked at the pupils, and then reached out and pressed the pulse for a while. Shaking his head and sighing: "Lord Jierharang is on the ground, the injury is too serious, and the villain's medical skills are shallow, so please be smart!" ”

Ah Gui raised his head in disappointment, Dai Shan sighed, but Curb Pilon's face was clearly full of happiness. Suddenly, Zilharang's eyelids trembled twice, and his mouth was vaguely saying something, Ah Gui hurriedly lowered his head, and after a while, he raised his head, his face was full of disappointment, and he shook his head and sighed: "It seems that Fang is back to light!" ”

"What did he just say?" Dai Shan asked.

"I can't hear it clearly, it's like 'don't blame me'!"

"Hey!" Dai Shan sighed, shook his head and said, "Well, it's not necessarily a good thing that he died like this!" General Gui, the dead are already dead, but we have to take care of the living if we are still alive! Tell me, how are you going to arrange for us? ”

"It's very simple, as long as you Jurchens lay down your weapons, we Jinong-sama won't embarrass you!" Speaking of this, Ah Gui took out the seal from his arms and shook it in front of Dai Shan: "This is the blood letter of Concubine Zhuang asking Lord Jinong to adopt Huang Taiji's widowed son Fulin as a righteous son!" ”

"Oh?" Dai Shan was stunned when he heard this: "In this way, Lord Jinong will agree?" ”

"I'm just a general, how dare you speculate!" Ah Gui said with a smile: "However, at the beginning, Lin Dan Khan's entire army was annihilated, and the life and death of Chahar, Tumut and other troops were in the hands of adults. The lord still made Abneh the Great Khan, adopted him as a righteous son, and treated him so kindly. At present, the situation of your Jurchens is much stronger than that of the Chahars at that time, right? ”

"That being said, but now Lord Jinong's strength is far better than it was at the beginning!" Dai Shan said in a low voice: "General, you are a clear-eyed person, so I won't hide it from you." If Lord Jinong is willing to adopt Fu Lin as his righteous son, we will naturally support him as the Great Khan, and it is naturally justifiable for him to be the regent of my Dajin in the name of the Khan's father, and we will naturally bow down to our orders! ”

"I'm afraid it's going to be harder!" Ah Gui said with a smile: "Lord Jinong is also the Marquis of Wu'an of the Ming Kingdom, the Ming Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom are mortal enemies, how can he be the regent of the Jin Kingdom?" ”

Ah Gui's answer was expected by Dai Shan, and he just asked for a sky-high price and paid the money on the spot. He thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Then the Jin Guoguo can go, can the system of the Eight Banners be saved?" ”

"This is debatable!" Ah Gui thought about it and replied, he also knew that this was probably the bottom line of Dai Shan, if the country name "Jin" was dispensable, the Eight Banners system was flesh and skin. The political, military, and economic strength of the Jurchen aristocracy was based on this system of integration of soldiers and people, and in real history, the Jurchen aristocracy established the most extensive centralized empire in East Asia with a total population of only a few hundred thousand, and this system proved to be quite effective. As long as the Eight Banners system can be preserved, the political and economic interests of the Jurchen aristocracy can be guaranteed, and there will even be a chance to make a comeback; And if the Eight Banners system no longer exists, these Jurchen nobles will naturally be attached to it, and they can only be at the mercy of Liu Cheng.

Hearing Ah Gui's affirmative answer, Dai Shan's face looked a lot better, and he smiled: "Since this is the case, what else is there to do?" ”

"Two things!" Ah Gui said with a smile: "First, support Fulin as the Great Khan; The second thing is to issue a proclamation announcing that Dorgon and Dordor are traitors who killed the former Great Khan, and everyone will be punished! ”

Naturalization City, Silver Buddha Temple.

The drums beat and beat so that people were dizzy, and on the main hall sat the nobles. Among them are the parents of the soon-to-be-married couple: Liu Cheng and Min Min and Dayan Ozir, the eldest son of Gushi Khan and the future father-in-law of Abnay. On Liu Cheng's right-hand side was a young man less than twenty years old, the fifth son of Dzungar Khan Batur, and the youngest son of Batur, who, according to Mongol custom, was called the son of Shouzao and would inherit his father's throne. Apparently Batur had sent him to represent himself at this important wedding with the intention of proclaiming him his heir, and the princes and nobles of the other tribes lined up like the wings of geese, quietly watching the wrestling match in progress.

On the ground paved with fine timber beneath the steps, two strong, grease-coated and shiny bodies huddled together, their backbones rattling with their iron arms. Both clenched their teeth as they made a piercing gnashing sound, and their hurried, heavy stomping could be heard on the scrubbed, shiny floor. After a while, they stood motionless and silent again, making the audience feel as if a group of stone statues had appeared in front of them, but the twitching muscles under the shiny skin indicated that it was not a statue, but two living fighters who were battling it out with all their might. The Mongols loved this contest of muscle strength and skill in the back, legs and shoulders, and compared it to archery and horseback riding as the three most important skills of the Mongol warriors. The fight didn't last long, as one side of the contest was the famous Junggar warrior Hassan, who was considered the most powerful wrestling master among the Oirats, and his opponent was strangled by his iron arms, and then lifted above his head and slammed to the ground with a dull thud.

The spectators cheered the end of the fight with thunderous cheers, and Hassan stamped one foot on his opponent's back, crossed his thick arms over his chest, and looked around the hall with the eyes of a victor. The monk was so excited that he stood up and loudly applauded the victory of the warriors of his clan.

"Minmin, you can talk to your brother later, this floor is made of high-quality wood, and it will be very expensive to repair if it is smashed like this!" Liu Cheng turned his head and whispered in his wife's ear. Min Min glanced at Liu Cheng and said in a low voice: "This Hassan is a well-known wrestling warrior in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, I heard that he has not lost once since he was sixteen years old, and even the neck of a camel can be broken, you still think about these two floors?" ”

"What's the use of that?" Liu Cheng smiled: "He can break the neck of a camel, can he also break the neck of an elephant?" An arquebus can kill him, and your brother is not too young, so he doesn't even understand what matters most! ”

Liu Chengzheng was whispering to his wife, but he saw Zhao Wende walking in quickly from outside the hall, looking at the crowd, his face was anxious that could not be hidden, he immediately understood that there was something important, and hurriedly raised his right arm. When Zhao Wende saw Liu Cheng, he hurriedly ran along the wall, took out a letter from his arms, and said in a low voice: "My lord, there is an emergency military situation in Liaodong!" ”
