It was night, Shoukang Palace, and the Zhu family was staggered, and it was warm.

Behind the Beiju Xianfang in the north of Dongzhimen Avenue, there is a Berlin Temple, one of the eight major temples, built in the Yuan Dynasty to the seventh year, when Hongwu built the Beiping City Wall in the first year, the Berlin Temple was divided into two.

The outer part of the city is the North Berlin Temple, and the inner part of the city is the South Berlin Temple.

However, the Beiping city wall has not been completely repaired.

After the Berlin Temple was divided into the north and the south, the North Berlin Temple was a lot cold because it was outside the city, and most of the people in the world were willing to go to the South Berlin Temple nearby, so the North Berlin Temple has gradually poured out of the Eight Great Temples in Beijing.

Berlin Temple is named because there are many ancient cypresses, there are many ancient trees in the temple, especially many ancient cypresses, ancient acacias, as well as whitebark pine, ancient ginkgo biloba, etc., in addition to many giant cypresses in the temple, there are also the wonders of two wisteria trees entwined with cypress.

One of the most famous ancient trees in the North Berlin Temple is a seven-leaf locust in the courtyard of Vimo Pavilion, Vimo Pavilion is an independent small courtyard behind the temple, the north, east and west sides of the courtyard are two-storey pavilions "Vimo Pavilion", and the ancient seven-leaf locust is towering on the west side in front of the pavilion.

Under the green lantern ancient Buddha, there are people sitting lonely under the ancient seven-leaf acacia.

He was a man in his early forties.

Not a monk.

Because it was late autumn, this man wore a hat, his face was rough, and he didn't look like a southerner at first glance, sitting under the ancient acacia at the moment, slowly drinking spirits.

Footsteps sounded not far away, and a moment later the abbot of the North Berlin Monastery came to the ancient acacia with a small novice.

Salute the man.

Not Han etiquette, but Jurchen etiquette.

The man laughed and spoke fluent Daming official dialect, "Are the pilgrims gone?" ”

The abbot nodded, "Yes." ”

The man took off the hat on his head and put it aside, muttering, "It's uncomfortable for me!" ”

Suddenly with a money pigtail!

The abbots of the eight major temples in Gyeonggi are all held by eminent monks who are profound in Buddhism, and even need to be canonized by the government.

This is not the case with small temples in general.

If you can bring more money to the temple, then you can go up, and as for the study of the Dharma, you will give it to the enlightened monks in the temple - the temple also has to earn money to feed a large group of people.

The abbot of the North Berlin Temple, Jingtai was a monk in the Berlin Temple for nine years, he read poetry and books before becoming a monk, he was well versed in Buddhism, and after becoming a monk, he gave advice many times, bringing a large amount of incense and oil money to the Berlin Temple, and he rose very quickly, and became the abbot in a few years.

said to the man: "Today, there is still no news from Manzhu over there in Jianzhou. ”

"Manzhu" is actually a transliteration of the Mongolian word "Manshu", which means Buddha and auspicious, and Li Manzhu is the leader of the Jurchens, and gradually, the Jurchens will be honored by Manzhu Li Manzhu.

The man smiled, "Ama is old, and he was frightened by the Daming Young Army, knowing that I came to Daming Jinggi, it was too late to be frightened, how dare I pass the news." ”

Call Li Manzhu Amma......

This man is the governor of Tongzhi and the commander of the Jianzhou Guard, Li Gunaha, and Li Manzhu's favorite son, if nothing else, Li Gunaha will inherit Li Manzhu's Manzhu identity.

Rigunaha said, "Sit down." ”

Hongchen pronounced a Buddha name, sat down, and said to the little novice beside him: "Go to the pavilion and guard." ”

The novice bowed and stepped back.

Rigunaha asked, "How did the matter go?" ”

Hongchen sighed, "Although the Donggong Military Research Institute was established on the basis of the Ordnance Supervisor, but now the Donggong Military Research Institute is an independent department, and it is heavily guarded. ”

Li Gu Naha sighed, "Zhu Jianji, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, is a personal masterpiece, and he has long known what changes the firearms of the Dongfeng series will bring to the war, so he has been on guard against the leakage of technology early on. ”

Last year's battle of Mobei and this year's war, the Jurchens were wandering in Liaodong, and as long as they had the opportunity, they planned to invade Liaodong and then go south.

And because the Ming Dynasty attached itself to the Jurchens, North Korea thought that the Ming Dynasty wanted to restrict North Korea's westward development, and in order to prevent the Jurchens from returning to the Ming Dynasty, North Korea canceled the mutual market with the Jurchens.

Now the Jurchens are having a hard time.

It doesn't hurt if it's not good, the Jurchens are not having a good time, on the one hand, they have to deal with the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, they have to contend with the Mongolian tribes of the steppe, and the Jurchens are still slowly becoming stronger.

The problem is that the Prince of Daming is too horizontal!

Within the Jurchens, not only Li Gunaha, but all the high-level officials knew that the Ming prince pacified Taiwan, and the next target was likely to be Annan.

There is no room for others to snore beside the couch.

Once the Mongol tribes were destroyed, the Jurchens in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty would have only one end.

or completely reduced to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Or be exterminated.

Obviously, the latter is more likely.

Because now the Jurchens have attached themselves to the Ming Dynasty, but most of the time they are not so obedient, and with the style and temperament of Zhu Jianji, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he will never allow the Jurchens to jump so repeatedly.

In short, there must be a life-and-death war between the Jurchens and the Ming Dynasty.

Rigunaha was worried about the future.

Ama Li Manzhu also knew, but Li Manzhu was over seventy years old and didn't care at all, because if the Ming Dynasty wanted to do something to the Jurchens, it would be at least five years later, and Li Manzhu would die at that time.

But Rigunaha is not dead!

Not only is Rigunaha alive, he wants to live better, he even has ambitions.

What Genghis Khan can do, he can do too!

But ambition alone is not enough, the current Ming Dynasty, even if Genghis Khan is reincarnated, his Mongolian iron cavalry reappears in the world, and he may not necessarily win Zhu Jianji's Donggong Young Army.

10,000 people can sweep a line from west to east in Mobei.

Eagle Walk Gorge defeated 50,000 iron horsemen with zero battle damage.

10,000 people pacified Taiwan in one day.

This year, it was the 10,000 men who, like sharp arrows tearing through the sky, had beaten the allied forces of the Mongol tribes everywhere.

Such a young army directly marked the old era.

Rigunaha believed that in future wars, the way young armies fought would definitely become the mainstream.

The Jurchens must change.

If the Jurchens still stubbornly cling to the previous iron cavalry charge, sooner or later they will be the same as the Mongol tribes.

The Jurchens also want to develop firearms!

But Zhu Jianji's Donggong Young Army's Dongfeng series of firearms completely surpassed Li Gunaha's cognition, and the range, lethality, and accuracy were not the same as traditional firearms.

What to do?

Li Gunaha had an idea: since the Ming Dynasty could install Dongfeng firearms, why couldn't the Jurchens?

What if you won't?

Steal!

We girls really don't have that technology, so we can cross the river by touching Daming.

Anyway, there are still a few years left for the Jurchens.

Under such circumstances, Li Gunaha came to Gyeonggi in the Ming Dynasty and quietly lived in the North Berlin Monastery with only one purpose, to use all his strength, and to bring the forging technology of Dongfeng firearms back to the Jurchens.

Then raise the strength of the whole clan and strive to be like a young army, and the whole army is equipped.

That's the only way to ......

in order to compete with Daming!
