Nalan Bakshi saw that Zhang Yuan could understand the Jurchen language, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, only the Ming merchants who traded with Jianzhou would learn the Jurchen language, and the proud Ming gentry thought that the Jurchen language was ugly, where would they bother to learn, Nalan Bakesh had seen Heshuo Beile Huang Taiji in Kuandian before he went to Korea, and Huang Taiji had reminded him to pay attention to the words and deeds of Zhang Yuan, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, in North Korea, saying that Zhang Yuan might be a big disaster for Dajin-

Now recalling what Huang Taiji said, Nalan Bakshi deeply regretted that he took it lightly, he never expected that Zhang Yuan, as an envoy, could trigger a coup d'état in North Korea, and the crime of abolishing Gwanghaejun was to make friends with Jianzhou and be disloyal to the Ming Dynasty, so it seems that Zhang Yuan was extremely hostile to Jianzhou and regarded Jianzhou as a great enemy, and was not as arrogant as other Ming officials, which can be seen from Zhang Yuan's knowledge of the Jurchen language. ,!

Zhang Yuan translated Nabatai's provocative words, and was not angry, looking at Nalan Bakesh and the two of them: "Yelang is arrogant, the frog at the bottom of the well, do you know these two allusions?" ”

Speaking of Jianzhou Jurchen, there are really not many people who know the meaning of these two idioms, Nalan Bakeshi is among the few people, he really wants to explain these two idioms on the spot to show his knowledge, but after thinking about it, he snorted coldly and expressed his disdain, and said: "What is the benefit of selling these flashy words, if you really have the ability, you will send someone out to fight with Nabatay Niu Lu Ezhen alone." As he spoke, he said a few words to Nabataean in Jurchen language—

Nabatay raised his head and looked at Zhang Yuan, and looked at Mu Jingyan beside Zhang Yuan provocatively, the day before yesterday Mu Jingyan stabbed to death a brave Jurchen, Nabatay witnessed it with his own eyes, and expected that if Zhang Yuan agreed to let people fight alone with him, it must be this yellow-bearded man who came out, although this yellow-bearded man has a strong physique and strong martial arts, but what is he afraid of Nabatay, left and right but a death, if he can kill this yellow-bearded man in the fight or die together, it is also the prestige of the Dajin Eight Banners, and the wise Khan will have mercy on his family. Though he died, he was still glorious—

Mu Jingyan wanted to stand up and attack the majesty of this Jurchen, but when he saw Wang Zongyue take a step forward and seemed to intend to make a move, he didn't move, and when Zhang Yuan showed him, he heard Zhang Yuan look at Wang Zongyue sideways and said, "Master Wang, are you willing to teach this Jiannu a lesson?" ”

Wang Zongyue's waist straightened, and he hugged his fists and said, "Obey." He tightened his belt and took two more steps.

Unexpectedly, Nabatay, who had a huge head and a short neck, snorted in Jurchen language. There were few people present who could understand the Jurchen language, but Wang Zongyue did, and Zhang Yuan's Jurchen language was learned from Wang Zongyue-

Ruan Dacheng asked Zhang Yuan: "What nonsense is this Jiannu talking about?" ”

Zhang Yuan smiled and said in a low voice: "This Jiannu has eyes but no beads-"

Wang Zongyue stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This Jiannu thinks I'm old and says that I want to fight a decisive battle with Mu Baihu. Hehe, is Wang Zongyue old? He immediately said to Nabatay in Jurchen language: "You have to win against Wang to challenge Mu Baihu." ”

Nabatatai squinted his eyes and looked Wang Zongyue up and down, Wang Zongyue was about fifty years old, not tall, not short, not fat or thin, except for a pair of palms slightly larger than ordinary people, there was nothing strange about his whole body, and he smiled cruelly: "That's good." I'll duel you first. He said fiercely: "I will break all the bones of your body." Raising his hands to threaten Wang Zongyue, Nabatay's hands were tied with ox tendon ropes.

Nalambaksh sneered: "Is Zhang Zhuangyuan going to let Nabatay tie his hands and duel with this person? He thought to himself: "Find a chance to let Nabathai kill Zhang Yuan, then it will be worth it for the two of us to die here." ”

Wang Zongyue said: "How can this be reasonable, of course it is to give it a go." ”

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, there will be a duel tomorrow, I will invite His Royal Highness Ayayang and North Korean officials to watch the battle together." ”

Nabatay was secretly happy, he knew that he couldn't survive this time no matter what, but if he died in battle, he would pull a few cushions by the way. It will be able to deter those mediocre officials in the South and North Korea. What a pity to die.

Nalambaksh, of course, was a little more thoughtful, and his brow furrowed slightly. Staring at Wang Zongyue, he really couldn't see anything powerful about this half-old Han man, but seeing that Zhang Yuan was so determined, he seemed to be sure of victory, but after thinking about it, as long as Zhang Yuan promised to duel, there would be a chance, and he believed that Nabatay-

Nalan Bakesh and Nabatae were taken down and imprisoned, Zhang Yuan sent someone to report to Ayayang Jun Li Liang, asking to arrange such a duel, Ruan Dacheng did not understand Zhang Yuan's publicity of a decisive battle with a Jurchen prisoner with such fanfare, and only thought that Zhang Yuan was a good thing for a young man, and Ruan Dacheng knew nothing about Wang Zongyue, for fear that Wang Zongyue would lose face in front of the Koreans in this battle, he asked Zhen Zidan about Wang Zongyue's situation, Zhen Zidan did not know much about Wang Zongyue, and said: "Wang Zongyue is a guard hired by Lord Zhang, The martial arts must be strong, and Lord Ruan can rest assured. ”

Having said that, Zhen Zidan is not down-to-earth in his heart, he has seen the fierceness of the Jurchens, and he replaced him to deal with that Nabatae, he dare not say that there is a chance of victory, there are more than 100 people in the Ming Mission, in addition to Zhang Yuan, only Mu Jingyan and Hong Ji and Hong Xin firmly believe that Wang Zongyue will not fail, Wang Zongyue is invincible in foot combat, Mu Jingyan and Hong's two Shaolin monks have been taught, Zhang Yuan arranged a duel between Wang Zongyue and Nabatay, and he wanted to severely defeat the Jurchen spirit, although Wang Jing Hancheng will not have other Jurchens to watch the battle, but rumors will spread to Jianzhou-

……

At three o'clock on May 18, Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng went to Qingxi Palace to meet the princess of Renmu in the company of Li Liang, the ruler of Ayayangjun and Yu Yan, the judge of the Ministry of Rites, accompanied by Li Yan, the judge of the Ministry of Rites, and after Zheng Renhong, the original sentence of Li Cao, was imprisoned for questioning, Li Liang appointed Yu Yan to take charge of Li Cao, Yu Yan was originally a peripheral figure of the Great Northern faction, and did not participate in the abolition of the concubine and the murder of the Yongan Prince, the power of the Great Northern faction is not small, and Li Liang cannot cut off all the derogations, so it must be won over and divided-

Li Liang asked Zhang Yuan to ride in a carriage with him, and the carriage drove to the Qingxi Palace in the west of the city, escorted by Li Gui's sergeants along the way, and the Korean people on the street were in peace, and the Li Fang was quite calm, Li Liang had basically controlled the situation in Wang Jing, and when it came to the duel with the Jurchen prisoners, Li Liang also expressed his puzzlement, and then asked Zhang Yuan in person, but Zhang Yuan asked: "Does Your Highness know the serious consequences of ambushing Nalan Bakshi and his party?" ”

Li Liang frowned, Nurhachi sent an envoy to North Korea, but was killed and taken captive, Nurhachi was naturally furious, only afraid that he would raise troops to attack North Korea, and said: "The thief dares to act against the sky, and the state should follow the king to conquer." Li Liang has changed his expression.

Zhang Yuan said: "Nurhachi is not a brave and unscrupulous person, I expect that he will not dare to use troops against North Korea for the time being, otherwise our Ming army will attack his old nest Hetuala, how will he take care of both sides——"

Li Liang heard Zhang Yuan say this, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, when the Ming Dynasty sent troops to help, if the Nu chieftain attacked North Korea, the Ming Dynasty would never sit idly by, but listened to Zhang Yuan's words: "But if your border is lax and the army has no combat power, it is difficult to ensure that the Jiannu army will not drive straight in, from the Yalu River to Seoul is only a ten-day march, Nurha Chishe does not attack the city, and goes straight to Hancheng, and the Ming army is too late to help each other, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to reappear in Renchen." ”

Li Kun's mood suddenly became heavy, the Imjin Rebellion 20 years ago caused the DPRK to suffer huge losses, and the DPRK, which is now riddled with ills, really cannot afford such a disaster!

Zhang Yuan put heavy pressure on the young Korean king who was on the rise of the king's power, and said in a slow tone: "The day before yesterday, the Beiyue Mountain ambush, thirteen Jurchens were able to kill and wound nearly 100 people and almost escaped under the encirclement and suppression of Li Duhu's 300 elite soldiers. Military morale and morale is to be backed by strength, otherwise it is just a paper tiger stabbed to break, no matter how high the morale will be frustrated if repeated defeats, so His Royal Highness's first priority after stabilizing the political situation is to strengthen the army, your state is known to be brave and good at shooting, do not be superstitious firearms, firearms must be there, cavalry, bows and arrows must not be lost, do not completely rely on the support of the Ming Dynasty, you must know that the Ming reinforcements can not arrive soon, the country must be self-reliant to protect itself, and if the Yizhou border is strong, Nurhachi will not dare to provoke easily, he is afraid of the enemy. ”

Li Liang solemnly nodded: "Immorality is taught, Master Zhang is far-sighted, and he is also sincerely thinking about the safety of our state, and he is grateful for his immorality, and he will definitely recruit people who are good at shooting to strengthen the border of Yizhou, and if the thieves dare to attack, they will be attacked head-on." ”

Zhang Yuan slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, his body and mind were much more relaxed, so that the king of Korea was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and let the DPRK strengthen its armaments to deal with the upcoming war, which was the main purpose of his trip to Korea, and now it can be said that it has been basically achieved, although I don't know how effective Li Kun's strategy of strengthening the army will be in the future, but Li Kun has already felt the crisis and pressure, and will inevitably pay attention to the defense line of the Yalu River, which is enough, after all, dealing with Nurhachi does not take North Korea as the main force-

When he got off the bus at the gate of Qingxi Palace, Li Qi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Who will Master Zhang send to fight against that Jurchen prisoner, and can he ensure victory?" ”

Zhang Yuan smiled slightly: "It's Wang Zongyue, the master who taught me Taijiquan, if he fights alone, he will win." ”

Along the way, Zhang Yuan has seen Wang Zongyue and Mu Jingyan and Hong, Hong Xin three people practice martial arts and fight, Wang Zongyue is not only superb boxing, Tai Chi swordsmanship and Tai Chi marksmanship is even better, Mu Jingyan's marksmanship is ancestral, it can be tempered thousands of times, but it is no match for Wang Zongyue's Tai Chi gun, but unfortunately Wang Zongyue's marksmanship needs decades of hard work and tempering, and it cannot be achieved quickly, so it cannot be promoted in the army-

Li Liang is now obedient to Zhang Yuan, since Zhang Yuan said that this battle will be won, he has nothing to worry about, and said: "Then this battle is scheduled to be held in the Changqing Palace Hall at the beginning of this afternoon, so that civil and military officials can come to watch the battle." ”

As soon as Zhang Yuan and Li Ju got out of the car, Qingxi Palace greeted a team of palace maids and chamberlains, and the first palace man wearing dark blue palace clothes bowed down: "Concubine Renmu specially ordered the slave maid to welcome His Royal Highness Ayayangjun and the two angels. ”

Zhang Yuan's ear power is better than his eyesight, he didn't see the face of this palace person clearly, and when he heard this voice, he knew that it was Gu Xishan.
