Chapter 43: Internal Strife

"You will tell you in detail, without exaggeration or omission."

"Yes, the villain will not dare."

Shi Xin settled down and began to tell the story of that night. He was driven by Wang Dali to patrol the sentry, but the weather was very cold, Shi Xin did not want to go far, led the horse outside the Zhuangzi and walked back, halfway to hear the sound of fighting in the ancestral hall, he lay in a secret place peeked, the situation in the ancestral hall saw most of the time, saw Han Xu and others kill people, one did not stay, Wang Dayong was beheaded, Shi Xin knew that as long as he showed a little trace, he would be unlucky, and he didn't dare to look at it anymore, leading the horse to go first, and then he got on the horse and galloped.

He is indeed as he said, knowing that he will die without a place to bury himself when he returns to Fengji Fort or Liaoyang, whether it is Han Xu or the others or the forces behind this caraver, he will not let him go, and he thinks about it again and again, this guy is still quick, so he simply went all the way to Fushun Pass, and was almost slaughtered by someone with a knife in Guan** Jurchen patrol, and then said that the matter of the ancestral hall, this caravan is a major matter, and the people below dare not dispose of it without authorization, so they will send Shi Xin all the way to this Khan City.

When Shi Xin spoke, the Han man who began to ask kept translating his words into Jurchen words, and when Shi Xin finished speaking, the three people present all nodded heavily.

The Han official said: "What this is called Shi Xin should be true, what do Sanbeile and Brother think?" ”

As soon as he spoke, he remembered that he was speaking Chinese, and hurriedly spoke in Jurchen again.

The faces of the three Belles and Ah Ge were full of anger, and they grunted violently, and when they were angry, the three Belles stood up and kept roaring.

Shi Xin's mind is still smart, what he is best at is to look at people's faces and analyze the psychology of others, Wang Dali is very comfortable to be coaxed by him, but recently the old lady is seriously ill, and his mind does not belong, so he was disliked by Wang Dali and sent a drudgery, if not, he must have lost his life, at this time, he knew at a glance that most of the goods transported by the caravan that was attacked this time were undoubtedly the two Jurchen nobles in front of him.

He vaguely knew that the Jurchens were divided into eight banners, except for the Great Khan, who controlled all military and political affairs, the rest of the banners did their own thing, including property income and control, the owners of each banner were responsible for their own banners, and the loss of cattle, horses, population and property, if it was not for the public war, they had to be responsible for themselves, such as doing business with Han merchants, in addition to the property directly under the Gongzhong, each banner must do its own thing, and most of the materials that were robbed this time were related to the two people in front of them.

Shi Xin guessed well, in fact, this time the trade in front of the three Belle is Mang Gurtai lost the most, his Zhenglan Banner is only about 20 Niu Lu, the people are not prosperous, and the financial resources are not strong, more than half of the goods that were robbed this time are what he wants, and he has paid in advance, although the Han Chamber of Commerce is trying to compensate for a part, but the loss is still very huge. The important thing is that Mang Gurtai has already bragged with his people, his commander-in-chief, deputy generals, generals, preparations, many of the Niu Lu Zhen are waiting for him to give silk, official uniforms, silk shoes and other things, although these barbarians hate the Ming Dynasty and despise the Han people, but they are very fond of and yearn for the official robes and clothes of the Han people, and when Huang Taiji was in power, there were Jurchen Bakshi who persuaded him to change to the Han system and wear Han robes, and was severely criticized by Huang Taiji, and the people who suggested it attracted the disaster of killing, but at this time the Houjin has not yet unified their understanding, The love for Han people's clothing, especially official uniforms, was not forbidden, and Mang Gurtai promised many henchmen in advance to reward them with the best silk and official robes of the Ming Kingdom.

Abatai's loss is not small, he is still just a brother, and Dolgon Azig Doduo and other little brothers have the same identity, Mang Gurtai ranks fifth, is the third of the four Baylor, he is the seventh, the age difference is not far behind, not to mention that he can't be the flag owner, Baylor has not been sealed, compared to Mang Gurtai's importance to face, Abatai feels more sorry for his silver.

Xiuri is attached to Li Yongfang, who surrendered in Fushun.

When the Houjin army raided, Li Yongfang's first choice was to resist, and when he found that he couldn't fight, he surrendered immediately, in short, his life mattered.

Later, Houjin Lian pulled out the Qinghe Forts, laid down Kaiyuan Tieling, and won the main force of the Ming army in Sarhu, Li Yongfang also concluded that Houjin had a broad future, even if he could not cover Liaodong, at least the situation would be maintained for a long time, so he made up his mind to work for this foreign regime, and had a good performance in several major wars, especially the old slave handed over most of the intelligence infiltration work to the Ming State, Li Yongfang's performance was very good, and the Han officials had an innate advantage in this matter, which was not comparable to the Jurchen officials. Compared with the bloated and sluggish Ming Dynasty, the Houjin attached great importance to intelligence infiltration and bribery, Li Yongfang not only accumulated merit and was promoted to the third-class general soldier, but also was given to many Han people, and at the same time, Nuerhachi gave Abatai's daughter to him as his wife, Li Yongfang thus became a member of the Xiuri Forehead, that is, a member of the Houjin ruling group, which is equivalent to the old slave giving him a little original shares, which is also a small shareholder.

Abatai and Mang Gurtai were very angry, after arguing for a while, the two asked Shi Xin Han Xu and others where they were stationed, and then the translator was impatient, these two people could actually understand Chinese roughly, and after Shi Xin determined that Han Xu was in Daxingdun, not far from Hupiyi and other places, Mang Gurtai said: "This Han dog is dead, I will personally lead the troops to behead his head." ”

Li Yongfang was startled, but he didn't dare to make a sound, and hurriedly looked at Abatai.

Abatai persuaded: "Why should the fifth brother go out for this trivial matter, the weather is so cold, it is not worth suffering like this." Moreover, the dispatch of troops must only be approved by the father Khan, and he cannot make decisions without authorization. ”

Mang Gurtai scratched his head vigorously, and said: "This matter can't be let go like this, only Lao Tzu has ever robbed others, and today someone dares to rob Lao Tzu...... Cold monk machine, come here! ”

A banner slave hurriedly ran up from downstairs, beat a thousand and waited for orders, Mang Gurtai said: "Tell Baiyin Tua to lead the two Niu Lujia soldiers to Fushun Pass first, and wait for me to persuade my father Khan to go to fight the Ming army fort!" ”

"Yes, master!"

Abatai smiled slightly, and said: "If you want the eighth child to know about this matter, you must be said again, and I will definitely be hung up." ”

Mang Gurtai was furious when he heard this, and scolded: "The eighth is a lot of things, a few days ago I took people to hunt, and I also ran to my father Khan to tell me that I am good, he just wants to be a great khan, and there is a second brother above, even you and I are no worse than him, why is he!" If this is the case, I must send this soldier, I must send it! ”

The eighth is the four Baylor Huang Taiji, among the old slave sons, the most scheming, the most disciplined in the war, the courage is not under the Mang Gurtai, and he is usually good at forming good hearts, although the Huang Taiji ranks eighth, and the status is above the Abatai and other brothers. In fact, the most important thing about Huang Taiji's development is that he and Daishan united to defeat the eldest brother Chu Ying, at that time Chu Ying had already mastered considerable strength, becoming a strong political enemy of Nuer Hachi in the banner, father and son have enmity with each other, Huang Taiji and others took the lead, Nuer Hachi pushed the boat down the river, father and son fought Chu Ying down, and later imprisoned and died, most of the forces left by Chu Ying were divided, only the white flag was left to his son Little Beledudu.

Huang Taiji was born smart, Xiaochang general trend, not only can speak Chinese, but also understand Han classics and writing, now among the sons of Nuerhachi, there are two people who are most favored, the first is Dai Shan, now the eldest son of the fact, old and steady, holding two red flags, the most powerful, followed by Huang Taiji, and then Dolgon and Duoduo, the two little brothers, everyone knows that the future Khan will be among these few people, Mang Gurtai and Abatai are dissatisfied in their hearts, but Abatai has always been unfavored, and the power is very weak, It's not like Mang Gurtai is strong, and he is naturally short-tempered.
