Because the city was only completed this year, it is not large, with a radius of less than a kilometer, which cannot be compared with the Forbidden City in Beijing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe outline of the city is built on a high place facing the water, it is a brick and stone, rammed earth structure, and there are eight gates on all sides, two gates on each side, and the location of the gates is opposite to the north and south.

Because the guards who came to announce only read Gao Jie's name, Luo Sigong and the others could not accompany him, so they had to stay at the inn and wait. Nurhachi learned so quickly that Gao Jie had come to Tokyo City, and the reason Gao Jie could guess that nine times out of ten it was the credit of Zong Song Gege, but this Jurchen Great Khan wanted to see him early in the morning, which was really a bit unexpected to him.

The Eight-Pointed Dragon Hall is the usual place where Nurhachi usually discusses politics, and it takes a short time to enter through the city gate and reach the destination. Although Nurhachi had already claimed the founding of the Khan at this time, he did not really think of himself as an emperor, but was just like a king, so the person who spread the word and led the way was not a eunuch or eunuch, but a guard. After summoning Gao Jie's guards into the Octagonal Dragon Palace, he soon came out and led Gao Jie to meet Nurhachi.

The Octagonal Dragon Hall sounds very majestic, but it is actually very small and simple. After all, the Jurchens are sparsely populated and have limited resources, so with their current strength, where can they build a real palace? The Jurchens are not good at carpentry and construction, and this small palace was mainly built by those captured Ming people who knew a little bit of architectural skills, which is already commendable.

About to meet the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, Gao Jie was naturally nervous and excited, he bowed his head and followed the footsteps of the guards, walked to the designated position, bowed down and clasped his fists in front of him and said: "Boy Gao Jie, I have seen the Great Khan!"

I heard a hoarse and imposing voice say, "No need to be polite!"

At this time, the Jurchens, that is, the Dajin Kingdom, did not pay much attention to etiquette and clothing, and did not form any red tape, Gao Jie knew something about it in the conversation with Daishan and Huang Taiji in Guangning City, so he raised his head and looked forward when he heard the words.

I saw that on a large chair covered with white tiger skin two zhang away in front of me, there sat a majestic old man who was "neither fat nor thin, with a strong torso, a straight and large nose, and a long iron face", he wore a mink hat, two huge silver bright earrings in both ears, a gray beard, and looked to be over sixty years old. However, his eyes were bright, and his sometimes brilliant gaze was like that of a black bear on Changbai Mountain looking for its prey, sharp and keen, cold and clear.

Needless to say, this must be the sixty-three-year-old Great Khan of the Jin Kingdom, Aixin Jueluo Nurhachi!

On February 21, the 38th year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1559), Nurhachi was born in the family of a small chieftain of the left guard of Hetualajian Prefecture. His sixth ancestor Meng's brother Timur, was originally the Yuan Dynasty of the Yuan Dynasty in the Wanhu Mansion, Ming Yongle three years (1405) should be Ming Chengzu Zhu Di's appeasement, into Beijing to pay tribute, awarded the Jianzhou Wei Commander, and then took charge of the Jianzhou Left Guard, promoted to the right governor. The third ancestor was Fuman, and was later posthumously honored as Emperor Xingzu Zhi by the Qing Dynasty. Fuman's fourth son, Kyaw Chang'an, was Nurhachi's grandfather. The fourth son of Kyaw Chang'an, Takshi, married Hitara Emoqi and had three sons, the eldest being Nurhachi, the second being Shulhaqi, and the youngest being Yarhaqi.

Her mother died when Nurhachi was ten years old, and her stepmother, Nala, was a daughter of the Wangtai clan and was very mean to her. At the age of nineteen, Nurhachi had to separate his family and received only a small amount of property. Nurhachi, Shulhaqi and others make a living by digging ginseng, picking pine nuts, picking hazelnuts, mushrooms, and fungus. He often went to Fushun Guanma City to trade with the Han and Mongols. During this time, Nurhachi learned Mongolian and had a basic understanding of the Chinese language. Nurhachi likes to read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin", and claims to be strategic.

Jue Chang'an is the chief of the Jianzhou Zuowei Branch, the commander of the Ming capital, the people are few and weak, and he is attached to the Jianzhou "strong chief" Wang Gao in the early days, and often leads the people to enter the Fushun horse market trade, and exchange linen cloth and grain for pigs and cattle, and receive salt, red cloth, and vultures and other things. In the second year of Wanli (1574), Li Chengliang, the chief military officer of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, led tens of thousands of troops to capture the village of Wang Gao, killing and plundering people and animals. In the eleventh year of Wanli, Wang Gao's son Ataitu avenged his father's revenge and repeatedly plundered the border, Li Chengliang led the army to attack again, took Atai's Gule Village and its fellow party Ahai's Mangzi Village, killed Atai, and Wang Gao's descendants were wiped out from then on. Jue Chang'an and Takshi once again served as guides for the Ming army, but they were mistakenly killed by the Ming soldiers in this war.

The Nurhachi brothers were also captured by the Ming army in this battle, and were later taken under the command of Li Chengliang, became his bodyguards, and treated him like a parent. Later, Nurhachi returned to Jianzhou, and on the way back, he met Eyidu and others to support him, and used the thirteen pairs of armor left by his ancestors and fathers to raise troops and start a war to unify the Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou. After he returned to Jianzhou, he sent people to question why Ming Dynasty killed his grandfather and father. The Ming Dynasty returned the remains of Nurhachizu and his father, and gave him "thirty edicts, thirty horses, the dragon and tiger generals, and the edict to the governor". Nurhachi reorganized the old department, and the people in the department included Ambulu, Anfeiyangu father and son, etc., plus the new department also had dozens of people.

After that, the twenty-five-year-old Nurhachi began to raise troops to unify the Jurchen tribes and pacify the eastern part of China. The Ming Dynasty was completely ignorant of Nurhachi's ambitions, and even in 1615, a year before Nurhachi established the Houjin State, the governor of Jiliao also told the imperial court that he was "obedient". In the forty-fourth year of Wanli (1616), Nurhachi was called "the wise khan of the overlying countries" in Hetuala, and the country name was "Dajin" (known as Houjin in history), and he became the Great Khan of Houjin, and the year name was Mandate of Heaven. At this time, Nurhachi had already conquered most of the Jurchen tribes.

On April 13, the third year of the Mandate of Heaven (1618), Nurhachi swore an oath in Shengjing, read out the seven hatreds of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time led 20,000 cavalry to attack the Ming Dynasty, and broke with the Ming Dynasty. After the Battle of Sarhu and the Battle of Guangning, the strength of the Dajin Kingdom increased greatly, not only firmly controlling Liaodong, but also extending the tentacles of the war to Liaoxi for the first time.

Looking at this famous man in history who appeared in front of him, Gao Jie's nervous mood gradually calmed down. Because although this old man named Nurhachi is cold-faced, imposing, and even faintly has a hint of fanatical restlessness, in Gao Jie's eyes, Nurhachi is not terrible, nor terrifying, because there is no tyranny and murder in his eyes.

Nurhachi looked at Gao Jie quietly for a long time, and suddenly said coldly: "You are different from other Nikans, you don't seem to be afraid of me at all!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Gao Jie's mouth and said: "I am naturally not afraid of you, because in my eyes, you are just the father of Dai Shanda and Huang Taiji, just a child and grandson who wants to avenge his father and grandfather, and just a leader who works hard to make the clan live a good life, that's all!"

When Nurhachi heard this, he stared at Gao Jie for a long time, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahaha, it's really an unusually good boy!" He picked up a pair of dry tobacco pouches from the cases in front of him, took two puffs, and then said to the guard beside him: "Move a seat for Brother Gao Jie!"

So, Gao Jie sat down on the octagonal dragon hall in Tokyo, the capital of the Dajin Kingdom, he didn't have any special feelings, it was just because he didn't know that since the Dajin Kingdom was built, there had never been a "Nikan" who could sit in front of the Great Khan Nurhachi like this.

In fact, on the top of the Octagonal Dragon Palace, in addition to Nurhachi, Gao Jie and more than a dozen guards, there were also several important people in different costumes.

Among them, two old men dressed in shamanic robes, one in black, with fifteen antlers on his head, and a sturdy old man over seventy years old, was the Archmage of the Baishan Sect, Archmage Drag, while the other was about the same age as him, but he was dressed in white, with a withered face, resembling a skeleton, and was said to be the most famous "white shaman" in shamanism and the most famous divine doctor in the Dajin Kingdom, Archmage Doroji.

The people of all ethnic groups in Northeast China who believe in shamanism turn those shamans who are strong in martial arts and can hurt others into black shamans, and those who can cure diseases and save people into white shamans. With the intensification of the conflicts between the Mongolians, Jurchens and other ethnic groups in Northeast China, survival has become the top priority of the people, so more and more people have joined Zoroastrianism and Shanjiao, and everyone hopes to learn a skill to protect themselves in this troubled world, and the accomplished black shaman has become the mainstream of shamanism. Because of this, there are fewer and fewer white shamans who are engaged in healing, divination, and sacrifice, and Archmage Doroji is already the only remaining white shaman master. Now, he is over seventy years old, but he does not even have a disciple who is willing to inherit his mantle and has good qualifications.

However, although the white shaman is not a popular practice for the Jurchens, the status of a white shaman with a high level of cultivation like Doroji in the hearts of the people is no less than that of the archmages of the Baishan Sect and the Zoroastrian religion, and even the Jurchen Great Khan Nurhachi, Grandmage Drag, and Grandmage Umai also respect Archmage Doroji, because everyone knows that in troubled times, it is very simple to kill a person and find a group of killers, but once you are injured and sick, it is much more difficult to find a divine doctor to heal. Therefore, Archmage Doroji is like a guest teacher of the Dajin Kingdom, who is protected and worshiped by everyone.

Gao Jie listened to Nurhachi's introduction, and quickly got up to greet Archmage Drager and Archmage Doroji, and said many compliments that he had heard for a long time, such as thunderous ears, and so on, Archmage Drag accepted all these compliments with a blank face, and the whole person was like a mountain without any reaction, while Archmage Doroji seemed to be very interested in Gao Jie, and the pair of cloudy eyes on his dry cheeks became much clearer, and returned the salute with a smile on his face.

Nurhachi took another puff of dry cigarettes, and asked with a smile: "Two masters, this little brother Gao Jie is interesting! He is my son and Dai Shan, Huang Taiji and Dolgon in Puzhou, Shanxi Province to meet the old friends, after coming back, he has mentioned it in my ear several times, full of praise, let me be full of interest in him, last night Zong Song's little girl revealed the news that Gao Jie came to Tokyo City, I immediately recruited him into the city early this morning, let everyone see it, see how my three sons look!"

Gao Jie smiled bitterly and thought to himself: "I'm not a national treasure giant panda, is it worth such important people to come and watch?"
