Chapter 377: Preparing for the Expedition
In the border area of Liaodong, there is such a city, and the people who live here call it Xingjing. Still, many people still like its original name, Hetuala. This city has a special meaning for all the Jurchens, it is the land where they grew up, the place where they declared their freedom from slavery.
In the middle of the city of Hetuala, there was the city of lavish architecture, but everyone looked at it with only reverence. For the Jurchens, there lived the hero who led them out of slavery, the Mandate Khan of Daikin Ai Xinjue Luo Nurhachi.
All along, the Jurchens were displaced, first as slaves of the Mongols, and later as oppressed by the Han Chinese. The Jurchens were naturally not willing to have such a life, and the heroes of the Jurchens naturally appeared at this time.
The city of Hetuara has always been very prosperous, and the people here are very stable without war. Suddenly, a group of people and horses galloped past on the street, led by a young man in his teens, wearing white armor and carrying a majestic face.
Seeing this group of people coming, the people on the street dodged one after another, and some people knew this young man, and their eyes were full of reverence.
On one side, there seemed to be a young man who had just entered the city, pulling his uncle and asking in a low voice: "Uncle, who is that young man, he looks as old as me, why do the people around him respect him so much?" ”
"You! Quietly, that is the son of our Dajin Heavenly Destiny Khan, the owner of the White Banner Dolgon. That's a figure with great achievements, it's Lord Belle! ”
"It turned out to be Lord Belle, no wonder he is so majestic, I really hope to be a slave by Lord Belle's side." The young man's face was full of reverence, and his tone was full of anticipation.
Pushing up the cart on the side, the middle-aged man said with a smile: "It's so easy to be a slave of Baylor Month, hurry up!" Before dark. We're going to rush back. ”
The young man nodded respectfully, and followed his uncle into the distance, but he turned back with a look of determination on his face.
Naturally, Dolgon didn't care about this scene, and his face was full of excitement at this time. The hands holding the reins were shaking. The thirst for battle and blood in his bones excites Dorgon.
Arriving at the gate of the Khan's palace and handing over his horse to the servant on the side, Dolgon strode inside, holding the sword he wanted to see. The armor rattled as it walked, and everyone who saw Dorgon bowed down.
Coming to the outside of a palace, Dorgon raised his legs and walked in, and before he could see the face, there was already a man inside: "Look at our brother." More and more heroic! ”
There was a chorus of echoes inside, and even louder was the laughter of everyone, and the person sitting in the first place said loudly: "Don't look at the young age of the fourteenth brother, if you dare to bully him, I, the eldest brother, will not agree." ”
With a slight smile on his face, Dorgon walked into the hall, bowed to everyone, and said, "The younger brother has seen the eldest brother. I've seen your brothers! ”
Sitting at the top was the Great Beledesian, who looked at Dorgon with a smile. He nodded and said, "Sit down!" I thought you would have to wait a while to arrive, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. Here is the farthest way you go, hard work! ”
"Thank you big brother for your care!" Dorgon found his place and did so, with his eldest brother Azig at the top and his younger brother Dordor at the bottom.
Nurhachi had many children. Among them, Azig and Dorgon and Dordor, these three people were born of the same mother, and the natural relationship was much closer.
As time passed, there were more and more people in the main hall, and the main generals of the Eight Banners also came. Everyone gathered in a small circle. They were talking, but everyone had excitement on their faces.
After a short time, a shout suddenly sounded outside, saying, "Great Khan Dao!" ”
Everyone hurriedly stood up, respectfully waiting for Nurhachi to appear, and when Nurhachi walked to his seat, everyone respectfully worshipped under the leadership of Dabel Daishan.
Nodding with a smile, Nurhachi looked down and said in a deep voice: "Excuse me!" All sit down. ”
Everyone was seated, and Nurhachi continued: "I brought you here today, and everyone must know what is going on, so Ben Khan won't say much." But Ben Khan still has to ask, Ben Khan has ordered preparations a few days ago, I don't know how the preparations are now? ”
"Father Khan, don't worry, the children of the Eight Banners have already been prepared, and the Mongolian tribes have also been notified, and they will definitely be able to return with a full load this time!" The Great Beledashan stood up, arched his hand to the surroundings, and respectfully bowed to Nurhachi, and said confidently.
Nodding his head and glancing at his son with satisfaction, Nurhachi said with a smile: "Since the matter has been decided, then we will start to gather troops from tomorrow to ensure the combat strength of the soldiers." A few Baylors are out, and the rest are all going to prepare! ”
Everyone was slightly stunned, but none of them showed a look of surprise on their faces, after all, Nurhachi made his own decisions. There is no one in this world who can influence Nurhachi's decision, and some are only the ones who make suggestions. Over time, these people have long become accustomed to following orders, or rather, they are not qualified to express their opinions.
When everyone left, Nurhachi smiled and said, "Now whoever has an opinion to speak up!" There is no doubt about sending troops, it is imperative, and you should not talk about it. ”
All Baylor glanced at each other and nodded slightly, there was no suspense about sending troops, none of these people were against sending troops in their hearts. There are even many people who want to send troops, and it will be uncomfortable to be idle, including Dorgon.
Lowering his head and thinking about it, Dolgon glanced at everyone, and said with a little hesitation: "Father Khan, sending troops is a certainty, there is no room for negotiation in this matter, but where should we attack?" I wonder if Father Khan has thought it through? ”
Listening to Dolgon's question, everyone was stunned, in the past, all these matters of entering the army were decided by Nurhachi, and no one dared to say anything. It was only after the army had set out that Dorgon gathered his men together and announced the city to be attacked, asking for their opinions.
His gaze swept over everyone's faces, and several Baylors all bowed their heads, and Nurhachi could only sigh in his heart. He has many sons and many who can fight, but there are not many who are really far-sighted and courageous.
Looking at Dolgon, who was not afraid of his gaze at all, Nurhachi's eyes flashed with appreciation, and at the same time reminded him of another son, that is, Huang Taiji. It was also the same situation back then, only Huang Taiji asked himself so, and put forward his own ideas and suggestions.
After that, Nurhachi attached great importance to Huang Taiji, which was also unknown to the other sons. After all, his son did not let himself down, he grew up!
Nodding with a smile, Nurhachi asked in a soft tone, "Do you have any ideas?" Tell me about it! ”
At this moment, everyone was stunned, their faces were all shocked, and they looked at Nurhachi with some confusion, and then turned their heads to look at Dolgon. There is a question mark in everyone's hearts, what is going on? I wonder if these people will understand that at this moment, they are missing something very important.
Dolgon didn't show any surprise on his face, glanced at Nurhachi, and said in a respectful tone: "Father Khan, Liaodong is now strong and strong, the city is tall, and there are strong cities and cannons, which is really easy to defend and difficult to attack. The child knew that his father Khan had always wanted to take Liaodong, so that we Jurchens could dominate the Guanwai. ”
Nodding appreciatively, Nurhachi really thought so in his heart, and said with a smile: "You go on." ”
"Yes, Father Khan! The child thinks that as long as Sun Chengzong is in Liaodong, we want to take Liaodong, and the hope is not very big! The boy thinks that we should attack North Korea, not just to plunder, but to make North Korea my great land. North Korea's iron ore can provide me with weapons, and North Korea's grain can be used as our Dajin's military rations. The most important thing is that the North Korean soldiers and horses are extremely weak, and they are nothing more than local chickens and tile dogs in front of our Eight Banners. Dolgon bowed respectfully, with a bit of fanaticism on his face, Dajin wanted to compete with Daming, and it was not possible to do so now.
In Dolgon's view, Daikin needed more space and more territory to support the long-term war against the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Temujin also had the capital to enter the Central Plains after several expeditions to the west, and it was Temujin that Daikin wanted to learn and emulate.
He took a deep look at Dolgon, his son was really impressive, but this time he couldn't send troops to North Korea. Nodding slightly, Nurhachi smiled and said, "Yes, your proposal is good!" But this time we could not go to Korea, and Ben Khan had other ideas. As for Sun Chengzong, you said, this person is indeed a capable person, but a capable person must also have a chance to perform. Since ancient times, have there been few capable people in the Han people? How is Yue Fei? Wasn't he still killed on a trumped-up charge? Ben Khan has already sent people to think of a way, even if he can't move to Sun Chengzong, it's okay to have more times! ”
Dolgon didn't continue to ask, he knew that it was enough to say this, and as for where his father Khan wanted to send troops, it was better not to ask. The rest of the Baylors were also relieved, and in their opinion Nurhachi had changed course and denied Dorgon.
Standing up gently, Nurha said in a deep voice: "There is nothing to do, then you can go!" Prepare carefully for the dispatch of troops, and set off early tomorrow morning! ”
"Yes, Father Khan!" They bowed and bowed, and went out.
Looking at the backs of the Beylers, Nurhachi muttered, "I hope you can come back safely!" (To be continued......)
