In the camp of the Jurchen Eight Banners, inside the sweat tent.

The negotiations between Man Gui and Huang Taiji were very short and very fast, and all the results came out.

This so-called negotiation is more like a unilateral notice, throwing a piece of paper in front of Huang Taiji, without any bargaining, only agreement and disagreement.

It is very similar to the appearance of the descendants of Huang Taiji more than 300 years later in the face of the invasion of Western powers.

On the treaty full of insults, loss of power and humiliation of the country, the words that reveal cowardice were signed, and the seal representing China's supreme rights was stamped.

Mourn it.

Angry at its cowardice.

There has never been such a thing as fairness between countries, whether it is the so-called backward antiquity or the self-proclaimed civilized modernity.

It's all an iron law.

It is the law of nature that big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimp.

It is a rule between countries that a big country bullies a small country, and a strong country suppresses a weak country.

Winston Churchill once said that there is no eternal friendship between nations, only eternal interests.

The diplomacy between two countries is more like a confrontation of strength between countries, the strong side can be arrogant and unreasonable, and the weak side can only pray for the ethereal sympathy, without any strength to refute.

No matter how angry, dissatisfied, and angry, Huang Taiji could only agree to the request made by Li Mu on behalf of Mangui in the face of the threat of exterminating the race.

The large amount of booty obtained from the attack on Chahar was used as the cost of Li Muqi's attack on Shenyang.

Of course, these trophies did not include the people plundered by Huang Taiji, Li Mu was eyeing those cattle and sheep, war horses, animal skins, and gold, silver and jewelry.

The population is still left to Huang Taiji to lick his wounds in Shenyang City and restore the population of the Jurchen clan.

.....

Four days after the end of the negotiations.

Everything was ready, and Li Mu finally walked out of the Jurchen Palace, followed by Huang Taiji's big and small wives, Zhezhe and Da Yu'er.

Outside the exit of the Jurchen Palace, Man Gui specially prepared a four-wheeled carriage pulled by eight horses for Li Mu to use as a vehicle when leaving.

"My lord, everything is ready, we can go out of the city and return to Daming at any time." Man Gui, who was standing at the gate of the palace, saw Li Mu coming out, and stepped forward with a smile.

In the past few days, it can be said that he has been very busy, more tired than watching the wolf cavalry guards outside the city slaughtering the Jurchen Eight Banners on the city wall, and he has to personally inquire about all the preparations before leaving the city.

All of them are asked about the smallest detail, so that he, a military general who is usually rough-branched, is about to become a housekeeper's wife, and he has to ask about all trivial things.

"What, you're starting to feel homesick now?" After speaking, Li Mu looked around and said, "Man Gui, didn't you bring your three concubines?" ”

Man Gui scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "Let the adults know that the last general and the three concubines have lived a very comfortable time during this time, so it is not good to throw it in Shenyang City at will, so naturally take it with you, and it will be in the carriage prepared by the last general in the back." ”

Li Mu laughed, kicked Man Gui, stretched out his finger and said with a smile: "What's so embarrassing about this, women, if you like it, take it with you and throw it away?" Didn't this seat take you to flee, we swaggered out of the city, didn't you see that this seat still took two women back? ”

"Hey, hey." Man Gui didn't speak, Hikari stood there and smirked.

Ignoring Man Gui, Li Mu said to the two Zhezhe behind him: "Zhezhe, you two get into the carriage first and wait for the master inside." ”

"Master, Na Zhezhe and Bumu Butai are waiting for you inside." Zhezhe was a blessing, and took Da Yu'er to step on the stairs temporarily placed next to the carriage and got into the carriage.

Seeing Zhezhe and the two get into the carriage and lower the curtain, Li Mu turned to Man Gui and asked, "How many Han families in the city are willing to follow us?" ”

Whether it is the property in Shenyang City, or the spoils presented by Huang Taiji, it is not easy for 23,000 people to take away, which requires a large number of personnel to act as a muffle to pull goods, at least on the basis of 20,000 Guanning iron horses, plus 20,000 people, it is enough to ensure that all the goods and livestock are brought back to Daming.

Li Mu's original intention was to use the Han family in Shenyang City as horsemen, so he made such words.

"This..." I don't know what to say.

"Say, what's wrong?" Li Mu frowned, knowing in his heart that something must have happened.

"My lord, the last general is incompetent." After Man Gui hugged his fists, he explained: "Originally, there were a lot of Han family members who were willing to follow us back to Daming, who knows, they changed their attention a few days ago, and they didn't want to follow us back to Daming. ”

This is a trouble, Li Mu frowned and asked, "Do you know what the reason is?" ”

"Yes." Man Gui nodded and said: "The last general sent someone to ask some Han family members in the city, as well as some Jurchens, because they are afraid that after returning to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming court will treat them like the Jurchen family, and treat them Han people who also have Jurchen hair ornaments on their heads. ”

After speaking, Man Gui lowered his head and stopped talking.

Laughed, Li Mu laughed when he heard that it was for this reason, I don't know whether to be sad or sad, these Han families in Shenyang City would rather continue to endure the enslavement of the Jurchen clan than follow the Ming army back to their homeland.

It's just because there is that unwarranted worry in my heart, worried that the Ming court will kill them, the Han family, like the Jurchens.

Poor people, there is indeed something hateful.

Hate it for being good like a stream, hate it for not knowing how to fight, hate it for only knowing immediate interests, and will not strive for the future at your fingertips.

Shaking his head, Li Mu didn't want to waste his tongue for these Han families in the city, since the road was chosen by himself, he had to bear the consequences.

Now, he is only worried about how to transport back the property he got in Shenyang City this time.

"Man Gui, how did you solve the capacity problem? Without enough grooms, it was impossible to bring all the goods back to Daming with 20,000 Guanning iron horsemen alone. ”

He was curious about how Man Gui solved this problem, and he hadn't heard any reports about it in the past few days.

"My lord, although no one from the Han family in the city is willing to leave with us, but there are more than 20,000 Jurchen women who are willing to follow Guan Ning Tieqi and go to Daming to settle down, these Jurchen women are all good at controlling horses, no worse than those Jurchen men, and the last general will dare to let more than 20,000 Jurchen women temporarily act as horsemen and follow the Ming army back to Daming." Man Gui explained his solution.

At first, he was also very worried, how to solve the problem of having horses and carts and no grooms, but he didn't expect that many Jurchen women in the city wanted to follow Guan Ning Tie back to Daming and didn't want to live in Shenyang City anymore.

In the end, it was counted that there were more than 20,000 people.

This matter was still reacted by his three concubines.

"What's going on?" Li Mu was very surprised, it stands to reason that he is not very good to the Jurchen people in Shenyang City, and it is not an exaggeration to say cruelty, especially for the women of the Jurchen tribe, the original three-day horse command was specifically aimed at the women of the Jurchen tribe.

After listening to Man Gui's eloquent words, Li Mu suddenly realized that these Jurchen women who were willing to go with the Ming army were all women who had a relationship with 20,000 Guanning Tieqi.

Since that three-day horse riding order, although Li Mu has never issued a horse riding order later, he has not strictly forbidden Guanning Tieqi to continue to have a relationship with the Jurchen women in the city, but only asked not to kill the Jurchen women.

In private, the phenomenon of Guanning Tieqi and Jurchen women coming and going is still frequent, one is to solve the loneliness when guarding the city in Shenyang, and the other is to live a better life under the control of the Ming army.

This back and forth, Guan Ning Tieqi and the Jurchen women, it cannot be said that they have been in love for a long time, but they can also be said to have a trace of dependence.

Coupled with Li Mu's preparation to return Shenyang City to Huang Taiji, this situation made these Jurchen women, who had always maintained a relationship with Guanning Tieqi, begin to worry, worried that their behavior would make those Jurchen men who returned to the city angry, so they killed them in anger.

Under this worry, there are more than 20,000 Jurchen women who want to leave with the Ming army and follow the Guanning Iron Horse to live in the Ming Dynasty, which is also indispensable Jurchen women's longing for life in the Central Plains.

At least following Guan Ningtie to live in Daming is much better than staying in Shenyang City.

After a long time, Li Mu said to Man Gui: "Man Gui, tell those Jurchen women who are willing to leave with the Ming army that from now on, they will be of the same clan, as long as they return to the Ming Dynasty, they will personally hold a wedding for them and Guanning Tieqi, and allow them to be the wives of my Han family." ”

No matter what, or for whatever reason, as long as these Jurchen women are willing to leave with the Ming army, they are the daughters-in-law of the Han family.

Since then, more than 20,000 Jurchen women have the Han surname in the first place in their surnames, they are the same clan, and they are the people of the Ming Dynasty to protect.

"The last general will thank the grace of the more than 20,000 Jurchen women." Man Gui is sincerely happy for these Jurchen women, and he is also happy for the 20,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry Robes who can't find women.

There were more than 20,000 Jurchen women who temporarily served as grooms, Li Mu was in a good mood, stepped into the carriage beside him, waved to Man Gui and said, "Let's go, let's go home and go back to Daming." ”

"Let's go, go home, go back to Daming!" Man Gui also shouted loudly, and at the same time, waved his hand to let the Guanning Iron Horse, who was driving the carriage for Li Mu, prepare to leave the city.

....

On the tic-tac-toe street in Shenyang City, a street facing the direction of Daming, both sides were full of Guanning iron horsemen who were fully guarded, with silver masks on their faces, solemn and threatening, and the whole team extended far outside the city.

On the straight street, the wolf rider with golden armor guarded around Li Mu's carriage, and was the first to go out of the city, followed by more than 20,000 Jurchen women who temporarily acted as horsemen, either driving the carriage or managing the horses that hauled the goods, and followed unhurriedly.

As the loser, according to Li Mu's request, Huang Taiji took the few remaining Jurchen Eight Banners and knelt on both sides of the gate out of the city in turn, sending off the departure of the Ming army to show the glory of the victor.

When Li Mu's carriage drove out of the city gate, Huang Taiji, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head, with resentment and puzzlement in his eyes, and looked at the four-wheeled carriage.

The next moment, he was stunned.

The curtain of the carriage facing Huang Taiji was lifted, revealing Zhezhe's head from inside, and Da Yu'er could be clearly seen behind it.

At this time, Zhezhe also saw Huang Taiji, the man she used to be, the Great Khan of the Jurchen tribe, with an indescribable boredom in his heart.

The two didn't say anything, just looked at each other, one in the carriage and the other kneeling on the blood-red snow.

"What's wrong?" Li Mu saw that Zhezhe opened the curtain and didn't put it down for a long time, so he looked out curiously, and saw Huang Taiji who raised his head, so he asked, "Is this Huang Taiji?" ”

"Hmm." Zhezhe lowered the curtain and sat back in his seat.

Li Mu didn't open the curtains again, and the Huang Taiji kneeling outside was just a supporting role for him in the history of the Ming Dynasty, so that he would not pay too much attention to it.

But the gift still has to be given, after all, it has been prepared for a long time.

Sitting back between Zhezhe and Da Yu'er, he instructed Guan Ning Tieqi, who was driving the carriage, "Stop, go and call Man Gui over." ”

After a while, Man Gui rode over on a war horse from behind, came to the carriage, and reported: "My lord, you are looking for the last general." ”

"Man Gui, go and take the head of the Jurchen Great Belle Daishan, put it on the head of the Jingguan for this seat, and by the way, tell Huang Taiji that it was a gift from this seat." Li Mu instructed through the curtain that Dai Shan's head was the parting gift he was going to give to Huang Taiji.

"The last will obey." Although such a great credit was thrown away, Man Gui still went down obediently and went to replace the good head.

After Man Gui left, Li Mu instructed the Guanning Tieqi who was driving the car: "Let's go, let's go back to the eastern border of Daming Liaodong, Shanhaiguan." ”

"Drive!" Guan Ning's iron horseman, who acted as a groom, raised his whip in cooperation.

....

Li Mu's carriage left the gate of Shenyang City, and Man Gui also brought Dai Shan's head to Huang Taiji, got off the war horse, opened the wooden box with the human head, and said: "Huang Taiji, this is a parting gift from my family to you, Dai Shan's head." ”

The head of the general Daishan shook in front of Huang Taiji.

Without waiting for Huang Taiji to see clearly, Man Gui closed the box again, summoned a Guanning iron cavalry who had evacuated with the large army, and ordered: "Go, my lord ordered to put Dai Shan's head at the top of Jingguan." ”

Guan Ning Tieqi, who took the wooden box, turned around and returned to the city, ran towards the city wall, came to the section of the city wall where the heads of the people were piled up, took out the head of Dai Shan in the wooden box, and put it on the top of the Jurchen people's head Jingguan.

The good thing is that in winter, as long as there is water, Daishan's head can be well glued to Jingguan.

With the addition of Dai Shan's head, this Jingguan built with 122,000 Jurchen heads was finally higher than the battlement wall of Shenyang City.

....

Not far away, a wolf cavalry guard and a team of Guanning iron cavalry broke away from the large army and headed towards Shanhaiguan at a fast speed. (To be continued.) )
