Chapter 192: Tokyo City
"Gao Jie, why don't you speak?
"I'm sorry, I'm thinking!"
"Who are you fooling, you've been looking around, you look like you're thinking!"
"That's what I think about, don't bother me!"
"You" ......
"Gao Jie, I'm tired, stop and rest!"
"No, we must get to Xiping Fort before dark!"
"But my ass hurts!"
"Rub it yourself, do you want me to come?!"
"You" ......
"Gao Jie, I want to drink water!"
"Go and get it on the pack horse yourself. ”
"No, don't you have a water bladder?"
"My water, you can't drink it properly!"
"I don't dislike you!"
"But I don't like it!"
"You" ......
"Gao Jie ......"
"Stop calling me, okay?
"I'm going to shout, Gao Jie, Gao Jie!"
"Virtuous niece......"
"Don't call me my virtuous niece!"
"If you provoke me again, I'll shout!"
"Dead Gaojie, nasty ghost !!"
Along the way, Zong Songge kept trying to find an excuse to talk to Gao Jie, but he kept talking coldly and didn't bother to deal with it. It's no wonder that Gao Jie originally thought that after leaving Guangning City, he didn't have to be so cautious and scared, but who knew that this eccentric, brutal and willful Zong Songge relied on him, and he also came with more than 100 soldiers to accompany him, can he not be as big as a fight, can he have a good face to show the little girl?
was so entangled that he couldn't do it anymore, and Gao Jie had to sacrifice the trick of "virtuous niece". Not to mention, this trick really worked, Zong Songge immediately stopped chattering in his ear, but looked at Gao Jie from a distance and his eyes were full of resentment and resentment, and he hated him in his heart.
However, this Zong Song Gege is by no means a master who can calm down like this, and a day later, she finds the youngest Wukong.
Since Wukong left the primeval jungle, he is full of curiosity about the outside world and people, even watching Gao Jie and others treat people and chat and play, he finds it quite interesting. Although Ji Longfeng, Xiong Zhaoqi and others all take care of Wukong as their own brothers, it doesn't mean that they have any common language with the strange people who can't speak clearly or understand this word, so there is naturally less communication.
Originally, Gao Jie saw that Zong Song Gege suddenly fell in love with Wukong, and he laughed secretly in his heart, thinking that she would definitely be hit hard by Wukong soon and return with a feather. However, what I never expected was that after a few days, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old little girl who chirped all day long and a twelve-year-old boy who could only giggle got along well and became a pair of inseparable friends. This made Gao Jie, who has always prided himself on being like a god, feel unbelievable and shocked.
Glancing at Zong Song Gege, who was chatting with Wukong, Gao Jie smiled bitterly, not dissatisfied, but slightly changed his impression of that unruly Gege. Because from her tolerance and care for Wukong, you can see her kind and innocent nature.
In the past few days, on this way, Gao Jie and the others have not encountered any trouble, even if they pass by various fortresses, villages and towns where Jurchen troops are stationed, they have never been subjected to any interrogation, and the road guide issued by Huang Debiao does not need to be taken out to prove their identity at all, and the road is unimpeded. Of course, the reason is related to Zong Songgege and the accompanying cavalry, which also made Gao Jie and others sigh in their hearts, which fulfills the old saying: If you lose your horse, you don't know if you are blessed.
Two days later, the group successfully crossed the Liao River and officially entered the territory of the Dajin Kingdom - Liaodong. In Liaodong, the scene of barren fields and rare interpersonal relationships has changed greatly, and the caravans of ordinary people have gradually increased, and farms and towns have appeared in everyone's eyes from time to time. The closer you get to the city of Tokyo, that is, Liaoyang, the country of Daejin, the more densely populated the towns and fields, and the more you can feel a strong and prosperous scene.
The Jurchen people are a fishing and hunting people, in addition to fishing in the rivers and hunting in the jungle for a living, with the increase in exchanges with the Ming Dynasty, farming and agriculture have gradually become their main pillar industry. They are different from the Mongolian and other nomadic peoples, the towns and villages of the Ming Dynasty are not snatched away, but have the will and idea to occupy and develop, so after occupying large towns such as Shenyang and Liaoyang, plundering a large number of materials and Han population, Nurhachi, the male lord, is committed to vigorously rebuilding and developing the territorial economy, improving the harvest of grain crops, and in a short time, the entire Liaodong was not good at defending the land and managing the Jurchens into a land of fish and rice comparable to the inland of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, this is also indispensable to the credit of those former Ming officials who were reused by Nurhachi.
In fact, until the fall of Guangning City, although the Ming court and the people were extremely shocked, they still did not care, and did not regard the sparsely populated Jurchens as any more important opponents than the Mongols and the Japanese Invaders.
And when Luo Sigong witnessed the increasingly prosperous Liaodong in front of him, he was really shocked in his heart. Although there are many Jinyiwei spies in Liaodong, and the situation here will be continuously sent to his hands, but the development situation here has been reported by those Jinyiwei spies who are not familiar with government affairs, Luo Sigong can only see the skin, only when he came to Liaodong in person, did he really realize that the Jurchens are very terrifying, their ambitions are not only partial to Liaodong, or to get Liaoxi is enough, Nurhachi's eyes are only afraid that they have looked at the splendid rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty. Luo Sigong was shocked, and he really wanted to go back and see the Emperor of the Apocalypse to see the interests and stakes, and he no longer attached so much importance to this trip related to the alliance between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia.
Two days after crossing the Liao River, near the evening, he finally saw a huge and majestic city standing majestically in the afterglow of the setting sun, Wang Rui happily shouted: "Everyone work hard, Liaoyang City is in front of you!"
Zong Songge shouted when he heard this: "What are you talking about this big man's guard, this city is now the capital of my Dajin, called Tokyo, you all have to be careful when you enter the city, don't make trouble!"
Wang Rui smiled and said respectfully to Zong Songgege: "Gege has learned a lesson, the villain is reckless, thank you for reminding me!"
Gao Jie and the others didn't mind Zong Songgege's seemingly unkind words, because they could all hear that this little girl was actually kindly reminding them.
Seeing the city of Tokyo, not only Gao Jie and the others, but even the Jurchen cavalry team that came with them couldn't help but feel comfortable, everyone's spirits were lifted, their fatigue disappeared, and even the sound of shouting horses became full of energy.
Liaoyang, known as Xiangping and Liaodong City in ancient times, is the earliest city in Northeast China, with a history of more than 2,400 years. From the third century B.C. to the early seventeenth century, it was the political, economic, and cultural center, transportation hub, and military center of Northeast China. In the forty-fourth year of Mingshenzong Wanli (1616 AD), Nurhachi unified the northern Jurchen tribes. In the first year of the Apocalypse (1621), he personally led the Jurchen troops to occupy Liaoyang City after three days and three nights, and moved the capital from Hetuala to Liaoyang in that year, and built a new city - Tokyo City on the east bank of the Taizi River in the east of Liaoyang City.
As it was approaching dusk, the people who had been working outside the city began to return to the city, and there was a long queue at the gate of Tokyo, waiting for the guards to check it.
It stands to reason that Gao Jie and the others should also honestly follow the many people and line up to enter the city, but how could Zong Songge be so honest, take the lead and shout, and then lead Gao Jie and the others and the cavalry of more than 100 people to rush towards the city gate. When the people at the gate of the city saw this group of horsemen, they immediately made way for a passage to come out, and no one dared to complain.
Gao Jie was following Zong Song Gege, a little girl, to ride a horse and prepare to enter the city, enjoying the treatment of the privileged class, who knew that from the oblique thorn rushed over a black high-headed horse, the person on the horse was not tall, but extremely burly and majestic, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a black animal skin hat, the hat was crowned with five antlers or roe deer horns, two long streamers behind the hat floated in the wind, the clothes on the body were even more strange, it looked like a leather coat, but it was not an ordinary animal skin, indicating that there seemed to be delicate scales, shining in the sunset。 The young man shouted loudly like thunder, and went straight to the city gate from his spurs, and was about to collide with Gao Jie's horse.
Because the cavalry had been following behind, this young man in strange clothes only saw Gao Jie and Zong Song Gege, a few people in Han costumes, his eyes flashed with contempt, and while riding his horse non-stop, he shouted: "Wu Nani Kan, get out of the way quickly!" At the same time, the horsewhip in his hand was raised, and he split his head and pulled it down at Wukong behind Gao Jie.
Gao Jie understood that this was the real territory of the Jurchens, and although he was unhappy, he didn't want to cause trouble, so he used his mental power to stop Wukong, who was about to make a fury attack, and Wukong turned his horse's head, avoided the side, and dodged the horsewhip whip.
The young man's horsewhip failed, he glanced at Wukong in surprise, and ignored him, so he wanted to beat the horse into the city, but was stopped by Zong Song Gege back to the horse.
Zong Song Gege and Wukong have been together for many days, and they have long been as close as sisters and brothers, and the scene of the young man raising the whip to beat Wukong just now was seen by her, how could it be good, she turned the horse and stopped the man, and with a coquettish sound, she also raised the whip and whipped him hard.
The young man was shocked and angry when he saw that a young man in Han costume dared to do something to himself at the gate of Tokyo, and he stretched out his hand to scoop Zong Songgege's horsewhip in his hand, and gently pulled it, Zong Songge couldn't withstand the young man's strength, and suddenly the horsewhip was taken off his hand, and his body almost fell off the horse.
Zong Songgege has a noble status in the Jurchen clan, and he has never suffered such a loss in his own clan, so he was immediately furious and shouted loudly: "Gao Jie, you beat him for me!"
When Gao Jie heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, since he had the support of Zong Song, a little girl, he was still afraid of a ball, so he shouted to Wang Rui: "Wang Guard, Gege has a life, beat this dog!"
When Wang Rui heard this, he laughed, and rode his horse and rushed towards the young man.
