Chapter 415: Helpless Dolgon
Hearing Da Yu'er say that she needed food, tea, weapons and armor and other materials, Hai Lanzhu agreed without thinking about it, which made Da Yu'er a little unbelievable. οΏ β€
Da Yu'er asked in a skeptical tone: "Sister, selling our weapons and armor is not a trivial matter, can you really call the shots?" "Grain and tea are just necessities, this is a necessity of life, but once it comes to weapons and armor, it is different, these strategic houses are sensitive things no matter which dynasty they are, anyone who wants to transport them in large quantities outside the customs without the consent of the imperial court to sell them privately is a big crime of stealing the family and destroying the ancestors, the former Jin merchants were arrogant enough, and they had to be sneaky to transport this thing, but now looking at Hai Lanzhu's appearance, it seems that it is as simple as transporting a cart of radishes, which inevitably makes Da Yuer wonder.
"How...... Don't believe in your sister? Looking at the suspicious look on Da Yu'er's face, Hai Lanzhu smiled, stretched out her white and delicate slender jade hand and gently patted it twice on Da Yu'er's little hand before saying: "Bu Mu Butai, you can rest assured, my sister is what she says, and she will give it to you when she says it, there is nothing else in our territory, but there is food and weapons and armor." As long as you exchange wool, horses, cowhides, and sheepskins, you will have as much as you want. β
Hai Lanzhu is indeed confident in saying this, today's Xuanda army with the full popularization of firearms, protective equipment has also begun to gradually transition from the pursuit of comprehensive protection to the light era, in Yue Yang's opinion, wearing a heavy armor weighing dozens of pounds and carrying a firearm
The era of war is over, and the abundance of lightweight stab-proof suits purchased from modern times is the best choice for the musketeers.
After the Xuan army was fully redressed, a large number of armor, spears and knives and other weapons that had been eliminated were naturally useless, rather than putting them in the warehouse, it was better to use them to exchange war horses, cattle and sheep skins and other items with the herdsmen outside the gate, which is called making the best use of things.
Looking at Hai Lanzhu's confident and elegant smile, Da Yu'er took a deep breath before saying with a wry smile: "Sister, do you know that you saw you say so calmly." It's so jealous of me as a sister. β
The corners of Hai Lanzhu's mouth raised, and she said with a smile: "Oh, Bumu Butai, you are also from the imperial concubine, as for my little Hou Mansion, do you want to eat it?" β
"The little Hou Mansion?" Da Yu'er shook her head with a wry smile and said: "Who dares to be a loyal and brave marquis of a small brother-in-law now, even a person as wise and martial as the emperor is not ...... by his brother-in-law."
Speaking of this, Da Yu'er felt a bitterness in her mouth, her husband Huang Taiji is also a masterpiece of a generation, with less than a million Manchurian athletes crisscrossing between the white mountains and black waters, conquering Mongolia in the west and conquering Korea in the east, and laying a vast territory. At that time, both Huang Taiji and all the Eight Banner warriors firmly believed that they could create an unprecedented foundation under the leadership of Huang Taiji, and the Manchu people at that time entered the territory of the Ming Kingdom as easily as entering their own back garden, and the great Ming Dynasty could not find an army that could compete with them. But as the old saying goes, happiness is to be sad, the Ming Dynasty is just out of a Yueyang, and the original invincible Manchu people were beaten to the head and blood, countless Manchurian warriors died on the battlefield, and even Huang Taiji, who is known as a generation of heroes, also died on the journey, and the current Manchus are not to mention overlooking the Central Plains. Yue Yang didn't go to Shengjing to find trouble with them, they had to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and thank God for blessing.
Just when Da Yu'er was full of discomfort, she suddenly felt that the little hand holding her grasped the strength, and when she looked up, she saw Hai Lanzhu looking at her with caring eyes, and her bright red lips lightly opened: "Bumu Butai." Don't be sad, although our sisters are married to different husbands, this does not cut off the friendship between our sisters, since you have found here. Naturally, I can't sit idly by as an older sister, so you can put your heart in your belly. β
Looking at Hai Lanzhu's pretty face full of smiles, Da Yu'er's face changed a few times. Finally, he sighed lightly, and then said to her, "Sister, can I trust you?" β
"Of course!" Hai Lanzhu nodded: "You put one hundred and twenty hearts, except for firecrackers and artillery, the tribe can buy anything they want." β
Da Yu'er looked at Hai Lanzhu and was stunned for a while, and finally smiled bitterly: "Sister, you blocked the road before I could speak." β
Hai Lanzhu smiled: "No way, this is a dead rule set by your brother-in-law, no one can violate it, although I am the wife of the Hou Ye, but it is no exception." β
"Okay, but this time I need 100,000 stone of food, 100 carts of tea bricks, 5,000 pairs of armor and 5,000 long knives, can you give it to us?"
"No problem." Hai Lanzhu still had a calm expression, "I just said that as long as there are enough war horses, cattle and sheep, wool and fur to exchange, you can take them away at any time." β
"I'll take it with me when I'm gone."
"Yes!"
The two equally noble and beautiful women had made a big deal in a few words, as if they had just talked about a few boxes of rouge gouache.
After talking about this qiΔ, the two sisters never mentioned what had just happened, but turned the topic to another place, and YiqiΔ seemed to be so harmonious. Half an hour later, Hai Lanzhu finally said goodbye and left, leaving only Da Yu'er and Zhezhe's aunt and nephew in the house.
Zhezhe waved his hand to let a few personal maids waiting next to him wait outside, and she asked her niece in disbelief: "Bumu Butai, Hai Lanzhu just sold us something?" β
"Of course, why not sell it?" At this time, Da Yu'er regained his confidence, and there was a kind of shrewd temperament all over his body, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip gently, "Hmm...... Longjing before the rain, the taste is really good, auntie, don't you taste it? β
"Bumu Butai, let me ask you." Zhezhe stared at her with a pair of apricot eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't you wonder why Hai Lanzhu sold us things so quickly?" Is it really for our sake? β
"For our sake?" Da Yu'er laughed and glanced at Zhezhe: "Auntie, do you think that if such a large sum of materials is not approved by my brother-in-law, my sister would dare to give it to us so happily?" With 5,000 long knives, 5,000 pairs of armor, and so many bows and arrows, I can guarantee that without my brother-in-law's acquiescence, these things would not even be able to get out of the warehouse door, and the reason why my sister agreed so happily to us must have been negotiated between them and husband and wife. The purpose is to allow our Horqin tribe to contain Dolgon, you see, two to three years at most, and when the brother-in-law finishes governing Shandong, it will be the time outside the Ming Soldiers, and that will be the time of Dolgon's death. I think Dorgon should know this very well, otherwise he wouldn't be so eager to attack us. β
"Alas......" Zhezhe sighed lightly and shook his head, "It turns out that YiqiΔ just let us drag Dolgon, I thought it was ......"
"Auntie, don't be naΓ―ve." Looking at the bitter Zhe Da Yu'er, she sneered, "Although my sister and I are compatriots of the same mother, since my sister has married her brother-in-law, she is her brother-in-law's person. β
Zhezhe said helplessly: "Bumu Butai, don't you think of people so badly? β
Da Yu'er put down the teacup and said lightly: "Is it bad?" It is the so-called heart to heart. If I sat in my sister's seat, I would do the same, and even I did it more ruthlessly than her, it has nothing to do with family affection or right or wrong, it just depends on what position both parties sit in. β
"You ......" Listening to the seemingly ruthless words spit out of Da Yu'er's mouth, Zhezhe couldn't help but be angry, but after all, she had been by Huang Taiji's side for so many years, so she naturally knew that what Da Yu'er said was actually a wise saying, and most of the people in this world still value interests, but she can't accept it for a while because of her soft temperament.
The aunt and nephew talked again. Then they went back to their rooms to rest under the service of the maids......
In the next two days, Hai Lanzhu accompanied Da Yuer and Zhezhe to visit Hunyuan Prefecture, as well as various farms, breeding farms and workshops in various places on the outskirts of the city, watching the lively scene of those hard-working farmers working hard in the fields, hard-working craftsmen making various tools and craftsmen making all kinds of armor and weapons in the military workshop. Da Yu'er and Zhezhe couldn't help but sigh with emotion, when they heard that the workshop here in Hunyuan Prefecture was only a small-scale production, and Wulizhai in Yingzhou Mansion was the place where fire guns and artillery were produced, a bitter sense of powerlessness rose in their hearts.
The gap is too big, and Daming is too big. The Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are really not an order of magnitude opponents. The reason why the Qing Dynasty was able to defeat the Ming Dynasty was because the Ming Dynasty was killed by himself, and the internal and external troubles were too strict, so they were powerless against the invasion of the Manchu Dynasty. But since Yue Yang's guy was born. The national fortunes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty deteriorated, and the originally invincible iron weapons of the Qing Dynasty were beaten like dead dogs, and finally even the emperor died on the way to the war. In fact, in the final analysis, the background of the Manchurian people is too thin, and the Ming Dynasty is not equal at all, the two sides can lose ten battles and twenty battles, and even lose for decades, and the death of 108,000 people can only be regarded as a drizzle, as long as it rests for a year and a half, it can be relieved, and continue to organize tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops to fight with you, but on the other hand, the Qing Dynasty, after the defeat the year before last, began to slump, and there is no decades to recover at all to the previous level. This is the foundation and the gap, which is not only based on how big your territory is, how brave the soldiers are, but also on the population, social wealth, and blood-forming ability under your rule.
Three days later, Da Yu'er and Zhezhe set out on their way home full of melancholy, accompanied by an army of 5,000 Xuanda and a caravan of thousands of carts, all of which were urgently needed by the Horqin tribe.
The time soon came to the middle of April of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, and the morale of the Horqin tribe was greatly shaken after getting the continued weapons, armor and food, and seeing these armor and weapons that Yueyang had refused to sell in the past were unloaded from the cart like flowing water, Zhai Sang smiled so much that his mouth could not close, and he used these equipment to arm five thousand of the most elite cavalry. Zhai Sang and his son Wu Keshan led these cavalry to teach Karaqin and several small tribes around them a hard lesson, and finally wiped out a small tribe of only seven or eight thousand people.
"What? Zhai Sang actually defeated Karaqin and several small tribes in the surrounding area? When did they become so strong? β
On the Shengjing Chongzheng Palace, Dolgon looked at Ning Wan me below in surprise, and the look of surprise on his face was very obvious.
"Your Majesty, this matter is true, and there is no half-word in lie." Ning Wan knelt on the main hall with a solemn expression, "Your Majesty is in charge of finding out the news of the Mongolian tribes, and learned that the Horqin tribe has received a large number of materials from Shanxi today, including food, tea, weapons, armor, bows and crossbows. After the Horqin tribe got these things, they took the opportunity to attack the surrounding tribes, and the Karaqin and other tribes were defeated and fled without checking for a while. β
"This Zhaisang!"
As soon as he remembered what Zhai Sang said at the Eight Kings Council last year, new hatred and old hatred immediately came to his heart, and Dolgon's teeth itched with hatred, and he took a deep breath and said to the ministers: "Everyone, now the Horqin tribe is no longer our friend, and his heart has long been towards the Ming Dynasty. A few days ago, I kindly proposed to Concubine Zhuang, hoping that he could remarry, and I promised him that he would treat her well, but Zhai Sang refused on the grounds that a good horse was not worthy of two saddle girls and did not marry a second husband. Am I really so unbearable that I don't deserve her? In that case, don't blame me for being rude, gentlemen...... Which of you has any way to destroy the Horqin tribe? β
As soon as Dolgon's words came out, a large group of people were frightened, and everyone looked at him in surprise, this thing is too ruthless, Concubine Zhuang is just unwilling to remarry, you are going to destroy the tribe, do you do this? And everyone also knows that Dolgon's desire to marry Da Yu'er is fake, and I am afraid that it is true that he wants to take her and Fulin's lives.
Fan Wencheng on the side also stood up and persuaded: "Your Majesty, now the relationship between my Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty is quite delicate. I think that Yueyang has now stationed tens of thousands of elites in Liaodong, and its purpose is to monitor my Qing Dynasty, if my Qing Dynasty sends troops to Horqin, maybe they will be killed from Jinzhou, and then our side will not be attacked by the enemy? Don't do it at this time! β
"So what do you say you should do?" Dorgon was furious. "Horqin and our Daqing are no longer of the same heart, none of us know when it will bite us, what do you say I should do?"
When everyone heard it, it was the same truth. However, if the Qing Dynasty personally sent troops, the risk was too great, after all, everyone knew that Zhaisang's eldest daughter Hai Lanzhu was Yueyang's main room, and the previous Qing Dynasty's agitation of Karaqin and other tribes to deal with the Horqin tribe could only be said to be an internal contradiction among the Mongolian tribes. But if the Qing Dynasty personally sent troops, the nature would be different, Yue Yang would definitely not watch his old man be wiped out, if this guy led the army to Liaodong again regardless of it, it would be a catastrophe for the Manchu Dynasty.
Looking at the people looking at each other, Dorgon only felt a pang of weakness throughout his body. He has been sitting on this throne for more than a year, and during this time, he has also polished the country left by his brother, although he only mastered the four banners of the eight banners, but he finally occupied the nominal position and became the emperor of the country, but sometimes he felt very powerless. He needs to worry about all aspects of the huge country, what he lacked in the past, as long as he went to the Daming next door, he would have everything, but now the nine sides have become Yueyang's territory, if he dares to stretch out his hand and wait for him, he will definitely have a blue nose and swollen face. But if you don't rob it, it is too difficult for millions of people in the huge Qing Dynasty to make a living just by farming and hunting, some time ago he has ordered to increase the annual tribute of the Mongolian tribes, which has caused a lot of complaints, this position is too difficult to hold, until then he understood the difficulties of his own brother.
Looking at the heavy man who closed his mouth all in unison, Dolgon said in disappointment: "Don't you have a way?" β
A group of people looked at each other, for them, it was their old job to go into battle and fight, but it really cost them their lives to use their brains to find a way. In the end, Fan Wencheng stood up and saluted Dolgon: "Your Majesty, Weichen heard that Yueyang is now implementing a new policy in Shandong, and the minister is willing to go to Shandong and have a good talk with Yueyang to see if he can persuade Yueyang to give up the pressure on my Qing Dynasty." β
Dolgon was overjoyed, "If Aiqing can persuade Yueyang to no longer be an enemy of my Qing Dynasty, I will not hesitate to reward him, and I will treat him with a knighthood!" β
Fan Wencheng smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty has received it, to be honest, the minister is not sure to persuade Yue Yang, but he is just doing his best to obey the destiny of heaven." β
"Alas......" Dolgon leaned heavily on the dragon chair like a deflated ball, and then soon his eyes showed a fierce light again, "Sir this time, can you bring more people to ...... that Yueyang" Speaking of this, Dolgon made a throat-cutting motion with his hand.
"Your Majesty, you can afford to look down on Weichen too much." After seeing Dolgon's actions, Fan Wencheng couldn't help but cry and laugh, "If Yue Yang is so easy to kill, he won't be able to kill Weichen." According to the spies lurking in Shandong and Shanxi, this person will be escorted by at least hundreds of personal soldiers every time he goes out, and our people can't get close to him at all, let alone assassinate him. β
"Well, I'm in a hurry too!" Dolgon shook his head helplessly, this Yueyang has become his dream demon and even the entire Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, which was once invincible, was beaten into a good baby by him in just a few years, and now the night in Jinzhou is becoming more and more presumptuous, and recently it has even dared to approach the range of a hundred miles from Shengjing to inquire about the news, which was unimaginable before.
