Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1347 Nancha Disturbance ([-]) Meng Gu Zhezhe
A meeting that was harmonious on the surface but actually ran counter to each other broke up unhappy, and even the banquet afterwards made everyone feel like chewing wax.The generals of the Ming Dynasty were not used to the crude food cooked by the Jurchens. Even if the ingredients of those dishes were not bad, they were mostly fresh game, and they could not win the favor of the Ming generals.

The Jurchens themselves were used to it, but it was a pity that the commander-in-chief of the Ming army, Cao Yu, was not in a hurry to help them regain the West City, but let them eat nothing delicious.

After the banquet, Belle Narinbulu in Dongcheng sent Cao Yu and his party to the temporary camp with a strong smile.Cao Yan declined his invitation to live in "Baylor's Mansion" and insisted on living in the camp. After Nalinbulu persuaded him for a while, seeing that he was unwavering, he had to give up.

After setting up the camp of the Ming army, the East City became more crowded. Nalinbulu told his subordinates some precautions, especially not to easily interfere with the violations of the soldiers of the Ming army. When encountering disputes, do not rush to deal with them. speed to report to him and so on.

Then, exhausted, he returned to the west courtyard of Baylor Mansion to meet Bu Zhai.The west courtyard is the guest courtyard of Baylor Mansion, and Buzhai has been living here since he broke out from the west city.

Seeing Nalinbulu approaching in a low spirit, Buzhai got up to greet him, took Nalinbulu's hand and said, "Ahhun, Cao Yu refuses to send troops to help me, are we just waiting like this?"

Nalinbulu sat down wearily, leaned back weakly, closed his eyes and said, "Otherwise, we can put the knife on his neck to force him to send troops?"

Since Buzhai came to Dongcheng, the main force of the Mongolian army also moved to Dongcheng.In order to avoid being secretly dug tunnels to plant gunpowder at the foot of the city wall like the West City, Nalinbulu has been patrolling the city these days, inspecting it several times a day, and commanding the occasional defense against the Mongolian army's attack. He is already exhausted.

After the Ming army entered the city, as the landlord of the East City, he had to cheer up to "accompany the guests", and he had to prepare the banquet and arrange the accommodation as quickly as possible, and he was overdrawn, so that he was a little weak to speak at this time.

Bu Zhai still said angrily: "Ming people can't be trusted. I think they are staying in Dongcheng, I'm afraid they want to destroy Ye He!"

It is not easy to provide food for [-] strong soldiers. The Jurchens, including Ye He, do not have a full-time army at the moment. Most soldiers usually eat their own food. A portion of the rations will be distributed.But even this part of the ration is more like a wartime subsidy, which is considered an extra meal rather than a regular ration.

Therefore, if Cao Yu's [-]-strong army that can fight and eat can really eat Ye He, within a month, both Nalinbulu and Buzhai will go bankrupt.

But in fact, the [-] Ming troops did not really depend on Ye He for food, and Cao Yu did not dare to relax his vigilance.In case the two Ye He brothers had a brain twitch and poisoned the food or ingredients, who could afford to ruin [-] elites?Excavating the ancestral graves of the [-]th generation of his Cao family is not enough to relieve the hatred of the court.

So in fact, Ye He is only responsible for "improving the food". Although Ye He has a lot of cavalry, he is still a Jurchen after all, not to mention the two Baylor's families, even in each household, most of them have some dried game.Other Jurchen tribes are reluctant to buy salt for pickling, so unless they are hunted in winter, they cannot survive for a long time, but Yehe is different.

They controlled Beiguan and snatched a lot of edicts from the Hada Department. Although these edicts were later taken back by Gao Yushi and redistributed, considering Dao's trading capabilities, Ye He still got a lot of money.In this way, the living standard of the Yehe tribe is actually relatively high among the Jurchen tribes, at least they can afford salt.

By the way, since the Liaonan salt field became a joint operation of the emperor and Gao Wushi (the emperor took the dry stock and Jinghua was in charge of the operation), the supply of salt in Liaodong has been relatively sufficient.Although the price has not changed much under Jinghua's deliberate control, the quality is stable and there will no longer be seasonal supply fluctuations.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the supply of salt has also become another means for Daming to control the Jurchen ministries, but the Jurchen ministries have not experienced it personally - after all, no one has been sanctioned and does not know the pain.

In short, Yehe mainly provides some meat and game at present, which is also an improved supply, and it is difficult to say what specific demand there is.But in any case, the generals and their cronies will definitely get supplies. Considering that Tumen is entrenched in the west city, and the Mongolian scouts are quite elite, it is not easy for Yehe hunters to go out to shoot and hunt. This task is indeed not easy, but The word "eating down" is obviously exaggerated.

Of course Nalinbulu knew the truth of this statement, so he just closed his eyes and rested his mind, and did not speak up immediately.

Bu Zhai looked unhappy and asked, "Is Ah Hun planning to be bullied by Ming people like this?"

Nalin Bulu still didn't speak, but there was a clear and clear girl's voice at the door: "Did the Ming officials bully me, Ah Hun?"

Ahhun means "brother" in the Jurchen dialect. This girl called Nalinbulu Ahhun, obviously his younger sister.

Bu Zhai turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl walking in with a five-year-old girl.This young girl has bright eyes and is delicate and dignified. If she wasn't wearing Jurchen women's clothing, her gait and demeanor would look more like a lady from a Han official's family.

The girl was also extremely cute, like a jade carved in pink, with a pair of watery eyes flickering, smart and innocent, and her small cherry lips were like two petals in early spring.As soon as she saw Bu Zhai, she became happy, broke free from the girl's hand and threw herself into his arms.

Bu Zhai squatted down quickly, hugged the little girl in his arms, and said to the girl, "Why is Nuan here?"

The girl smiled slightly and replied, "Brother Dong misses Ama, so I brought her to you."

After hearing this, the girl slipped into Bu Zhai's arms again.

Bu Zhai hugged her tightly, and said with a smile: "The shaman said that she can 'prosper the world, but can destroy the world'. I can't see it. I just think that the little girl is very annoying." All love.

At this time, Nalinbulu suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the girl in Buzhai's arms, and then at his sister, showing a thoughtful look.

"What is Ah Hun thinking?" The girl felt her brother's gaze and asked, slightly turning her head.

Nalin Bulu didn't shy away, and said bluntly: "Meng Gu, have you thought about your marriage?"

It turned out that this girl was Meng Gu Zhezhe, who was betrothed to Nurhaci by her father Yang Jini several years ago. At this time, she was already 13 years old.

Nalinbulu's question was a bit abrupt, but Meng Gu Zhezhe didn't seem surprised, or even shy.She just frowned slightly, fell silent for a while, and said, "Ama was killed by Nurhachi, why should we mention this marriage again?"

Before Nalinbulu continued to speak, Buzhai next to him became a little surprised, and asked Nalinbulu, "What's the matter, is Ah Hun planning to marry Meng Gu to Jianzhou?"

Nalinbulu shook his head and said, "Nurhachi has great ambitions. This time he sent troops to Hada under the banner of coming to our east city to marry Meng Gu."

Bu Zhai sneered and said: "Marry Meng Gu? He just went to Hada to snatch Nanguan, but the Ming people are more treacherous than him, and I don't know what tricks they played, but they just stabilized him. In my opinion, Nurhachi is probably sitting on pins and needles in Hada now, looking at us anxiously, if the Ming army cannons out the Tumen, Nurhachi might start pretending to be a grandson soon."

Nalinbulu thought about it, "Do you think that if the Ming army defeated Tumen, they would turn around and attack Jianzhou again?"

Bu Zhai shook his head and said, "How do I know that? If it were me, I would definitely beat him up, but Ming people have a lot of thoughts, and I don't know what shit they are thinking."

Nalinbulu thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "I don't think the Ming people will fight—they might force Nurhachi to do something, but it's unlikely to beat him."

"Why is that?" Buzhai asked in amazement, "Ming's army was so powerful, Wang Gaotuo was as powerful as Wang Gaotu back then. Wasn't he completely annihilated by Uncle Li (Li Chengliang) and even Gule Village was breached? Ama They...were also very powerful at that time, but Gao Taishi (who learned from the Mongols and used to call the governor of Bianzhen as Taishi) gave an order, and if they are gone, they will be gone. We don't even dare to bear this grudge... "

He sighed: "In the end, Daming can't afford to offend."

Hearing him talk about Qing Jia Ni and Yang Ji Ni, Nalin Bulu couldn't help feeling short of breath, and said after a while: "Brother Ama broke the rules of the Ming court after all, Grand Master Gao... can't blame him, only Nurhachi That guy, with my Ye He's help, actually eats inside and out, and avenges his kindness, if this enmity is not repaid, how can the two of us convince the public?"

These words are obviously to divert the target of hatred for himself, but Buzhai also fully agrees, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, what Ah Hun said is very true, that time of Grand Master Gao...he was also suppressed by court rules, this matter cannot be relied on He, but Nurhachi is different, he is repaying kindness, and he obviously didn't consider Meng Gu's feelings at all when he did this, Meng Gu must never marry such a villain!"

Nalin Bulu didn't know if Buzhai understood the deep meaning of his turning the subject like this, but anyway, Buzhai's statement was correct, so he turned to Meng Guzhe and asked, "Meng Gu, what do you think? "

Meng Gu Zhezhe still didn't have much expression, just nodded: "When Ama was here, I listened to Ama. Since Ama is gone, I listened to Ahhun. Ahhun doesn't need to ask me what I think."

There is no problem with the truth of these words. Not only the Han people are like this, but the Jurchens also follow the same rules, and they even insist on traditions more than the Han people.In Han families, if a woman is not married and her parents die, she can still enjoy part of the inheritance (but most of it still belongs to the eldest son), while Jurchen does not have this at all. Only brothers can share the inheritance, and sisters rely on The "conscience" of the brothers.

However, since the Jurchens value both the betrothal gift and the dowry, it is difficult to say how to calculate this account. It is probably less like a marriage than a business.

Since it is more like "buying and selling", Meng Gu Zhezhe himself as a "trading product", his views are really not important.No matter what she thinks, it is ultimately up to Nalinbulu to make the decision, and even the cousin Buzhai's right to suggest is more important than her own voting right.

But Ye He actually pays more attention to family affection, and the reason why Nalinbulu asked his sister for advice also shows this point. In this comparison, Meng Gu Zhezhe's words are a bit too dull.

However, Nalin Bulu is not good at saying anything, after all, the rules are the same, and he also knows that Meng Gu Zhezhe's "indifferent" did not start to appear today, since she learned that Nurhachi killed her Ama, she has been like this up.

After beating around the bush for so long, Nalinbulu hesitated for a long time before saying: "I think that Meng Gu is as elegant as he is, and there is no hero among the Jurchens who can match him."

As soon as this remark came out, not only Buzhai next to him was confused, but even Meng Gu Zhezhe, who had always been indifferent, was taken aback, looking at Nalinbulu with doubts in his eyes.

Only the little girl in Buzhai's arms was quite happy when she heard that, clapping her hands and laughing, "Anbu (Manchu, aunt) wants to marry a great hero, and Anbu wants to marry a great hero!"

Bu Zhai glared at her: "What are you arguing about, little girl, my Jurchen..." He suddenly couldn't continue, because after thinking about it, he found that among the leaders of the various Jurchen ministries, he really didn't really like him The eye-catching "big hero".

As soon as the little girl interrupted, the embarrassment on Nalinbulu's face faded a lot, he coughed lightly, and said, "Meng Gu, Ye He is in critical condition right now and needs Ming's help urgently, and although Dashuai Cao drove away Tumen here, the My east city is a bit more peaceful, but he said at today's banquet that he is not in a hurry to conquer the west city. I thought about it with you, Buzhai Ahun, and I always felt that he was unpredictable. I wondered if he wanted to ask for some benefits, but Ye He lost it this time. The West City has already suffered a great loss, and for a while..."

Meng Gu Zhezhe finally frowned this time, and asked back: "So Ah Hun wants to send me to Marshal Cao?"

Nalinbulu blushed, and argued, "How do you say it's a gift? Of course it's a marriage, it's a marriage!"

Bu Zhai opened his mouth next to him, and wanted to say something, but when he thought that Nalin Bulu's action was ultimately to help him regain the West City as soon as possible, he swallowed the words again.It's just that he has a quick temper and a good face, so he couldn't help feeling ashamed at this moment, so he just hung his head and pretended to coax the child.

Meng Gu Zhezhe sighed and said, "Ahhun, how old is Commander Cao?"

Nalinbulu said awkwardly: "This...I haven't asked, it seems to be about five...well, about forty."

Meng Gu Zhezhe lowered his eyes and said softly: "Han concubines are not considered marriages."

Nalinbulu said: "They count as theirs, we count as ours. Think about it, even if you marry Jianzhou now, you are not a doctor Nurhachi. In the fifth year of Wanli, he had a wife Tong Jia's Haha Nazhaqing , the current big woman is her adopted cousin, Fucha's family. According to the customs of the Han people, she is also a concubine."

Nalin Bulu earnestly persuaded: "Ama promised you to Nurhachi at that time, Haha Nazaqing was the doctor of Nurhachi, but Ama still did this. Why? We Jurchens don't care about this, as long as men are heroes , so what if you are a married woman or not? If you can please a man, if you are not a married woman today, will you not be a married woman tomorrow?"

The truth is this truth, at least for the Jurchen at this time, this is not only a truth, it is simply the truth.Of course Meng Gu Zhezhe also understood, but she didn't expect that her "prepared husband" would suddenly change from Nurhachi who was in his 20s to "Marshal Cao" who was said to be "forty years old", but in fact he was probably fifty years old. This is really...

But Meng Gu Zhezhe knew that she had no ability to object. Since her brother insisted, she could only admit it: "Ah Hun sees it."
