Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1516 Let them join forces

Spying is a professional job that is not easy, so the 50 people will not be sent immediately. The Ministry of Internal Affairs under Gao Mo will conduct surprise training based on the experience of these years, and then send them to Japan one after another according to the situation. However, these specific tasks Gao Pragmatic will not ask questions one by one, at most he will give some strategic instructions on how to approach a few key goals.

After arranging these matters, Gao Wushi was about to go back to the yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but the gatekeeper from the outer courtyard came to report that Mrs. Ru had sent Solgo to come and ask for an urgent matter.

Gao Yushi couldn't help being a little surprised, Meng Gu Zhezhe is in a hurry?What can she be in a hurry for?

At this time, Gao Mo had already gone to arrange the spies, and there was no one around Gao Wushi, so Liu Xin teased: "Maybe it's just the little girl who misses you, you should act proud."

"Fart." Gao Wushi made a brief comment, then squinted at her, and asked, "Speaking of which, you are her first teacher now, shouldn't you know something?"

"Then you guessed wrong. I don't know anything. She hasn't learned any profound knowledge in the past six months, so I just taught her to read. Um... so far, she probably knows nine hundred to one thousand characters." , the learning progress is quite good, I guess she will be 'unblinded' after two years."

Gao Wushi waved his hand casually: "It's not a big deal. She's still young, and I didn't expect her to learn Li Qingzhao well. It's fine if she can get rid of blindness. But... Forget it, I'll see Solgo before I talk, I hope he won't Bad news for me."

Liu Xin smiled: "Since it's urgent, I guess it's unlikely to be good news. You'd better be mentally prepared."

Gao Wushi snorted twice, not knowing what it meant.When Solgo was ordered to meet him, Gao Wushi had already sat down in the small study, and Liu Xin was also sitting not far away.

Suoerguo has always been soft enough, and when he saw Gao Wushi, it was a big salute, and he said in his mouth: "Slave Suoerguo has seen the master."

Good guy, he is really the only one in the Gao family by this title. He calls himself the "slave" that the Jurchens are used to, and calls Gao Pragmatic the "Master" that Daming is used to.The only problem is that theoretically he is not considered a servant of the Gao family, and I really don't know where to start with the phrase "slave".

But Gao Yushi didn't bother to care about these things, he simply waved his hand and said, "Get up and talk."

"Yes, slave, thank you, master." Solgo got up, and seeing that Gao Wushi didn't intend to speak up, he said, "The slave is here to report some new situation about the Jurchen to the master by Ge Ge's order."

These words did not go beyond Gao Yushi's expectations. Hearing the words, he nodded lightly and asked casually, "Well, what's going on?"

"Returning to the master, this morning, Ye He and Baylor's messengers came from Tianjin Port and said three things." Solgo cleared his throat slightly, and said: "The first thing is that Nurhachi is still dishonest. A month ago, they quietly marched east to attack the Yalu River.

The second thing is that Hadabel Menggebulu was the first to hear the news, and while sending someone to inform Yehe, he proposed to form a coalition with Yehe to put pressure on Nurhachi.

The third thing is that Shuerhaqi, the commander of Jianzhou right guard, should have been the first to know the inside story, but he did not reveal it. Instead, Naqib, his general, quietly sent someone to inform Ye Heer Bit Baylor. "

Liu Xin frowned slightly when she heard this, and glanced at Gao Yushi, but saw that his expression was normal, and she didn't know what was going on in his heart for a while.

At this time, Gao Wushi asked calmly: "There is a Hada tribe between Jianzhou Youwei and Yehe. How did Nazib's messenger pass?"

Solgo replied: "Jurchens all know that the right guard and the left guard in Jianzhou are not one, so Naqib's messenger just spent a small amount of money to bribe the people from the Hada tribe, and arrived at the east and west cities unimpeded all the way."

Gao Wushi shook his head, sighed, and said, "Menggebulu's imperial power is really worrying." After a pause, he asked again: "Hada wants to join forces with Yehe to put pressure on Nurhachi. How did Baylor respond?"

"The two Baylors think that this matter is feasible, but they haven't given a formal answer until they get the master's instructions. It is precisely because of this that they urgently sent messengers to ask the master's meaning."

Yo, my two little uncles have learned to be good?This time, I didn't think that Yehe and Hada could win Nurhachi together?But this is a bit strange. Why did these two suddenly become cautious? In the past, they didn't take Nurhachi seriously... Could it be that my attention to Nurhachi affected their judgment?
Or, they didn't really look down on Nurhachi by doing this, but they were just worried that I would be dissatisfied with their provocation, so they had to send someone to ask me what I meant?
Gao Wushi pondered for a while, and asked: "What Hada and the two Baylors mean—I mean what they call 'putting pressure'—if Nurhachi refuses to accept it, or even ignores it, they have plans to actually launch an army. ?"

"This... the messenger didn't say anything." Solgo said cautiously: "However, judging from the slave's understanding of the three Baylors, if Nurhachi really refuses and the three Baylors feel ashamed, I'm afraid...they will launch a crusade .”

Gao Wushi sighed, shook his head and said, "Reply to them, don't ask about Nurhachi's capture of the Yalu River."

Suoerguo was obviously taken aback, and said in astonishment: "This... the master is saying that we should completely ignore Nurhachi's actions?"

Gao Wushi glanced at him, and said calmly: "I said that there is no need to ask about Nurhachi's capture of the Yalu River, but I didn't say that they should not make other responses."

Solgo bowed slightly, and said in a low voice, "I'm stupid, I don't know..."

"Let the three Baylors contact Huifa, Wula and other departments immediately, and unite to warn the Neyin and Zhusheli departments in the name of the Haixi Allied Forces. Tell them that Nurhachi's next target is them. If they don't To reach an alliance with Haixi, Nurhachi will take one year at a time, and two years at a time, and he will definitely send troops to destroy it."

Solgo hesitated for a moment, and said carefully: "Master, it's just that although these two departments have a good relationship with Yehe, their relationship with Huifa and Ula's two departments...is quite discordant. Therefore, this Whether the persuasion will be effective is still uncertain."

Gao Wushi frowned slightly, and asked, "Why, there is a territorial dispute between Huifa, Wula and Changbai Mountain's three (Neyin, Zhusheli, and Yalujiang)?"

Solgo smiled bitterly: "The situation may be more complicated than this."

"How do you say that?" Gao Wushi is familiar with the big Jurchen factions, but he is not so familiar with small factions like the Three Tribes of Changbai Mountain, and tribes far away from Ming Dynasty like the Ula Tribe.

Suo Erguo said: "Ye He became rich by trading horses, and the three parts of Changbai Mountain have always been rich in Korean ginseng, and there are also many other things such as fur and Dongzhu. At the same time, Ye He does not border the three parts of Changbai Mountain. The natural relationship between them is very good.

The situations of Huifa and Wula are different.Both of these two tribes border on the three tribes of Changbai Mountain, but Huifa is closer to Daming, and the location of his tribe is quite sensitive. It is surrounded by the three tribes of Yehe, Hada, Jianzhou, Changbaishan, and Wula tribe.

This situation determined that the Huifa Department would not dare to speak loudly to anyone, for fear that all the departments would join forces to swallow it.Especially in the past 30 to [-] years, Huifa obeyed Wan Khan honestly at the beginning, and later Yehe gradually replaced Hada, Huifa began to lean towards Yehe again.

The slave had even heard before that, this time Yehe and the two Baylors married their younger sisters. Due to the grand dowry, it was not easy to raise money. "

Gao Wushi frowned and said, "Huifa is also one of the four major divisions in Haixi, why is he so humble and takes the initiative to lower his posture?"

Solgo said: "Master doesn't know that the position of Baylor in Baiyin Dali was not inherited smoothly, but was forcibly snatched by killing seven uncles."

Liu Xin, who was on the sidelines, was a little speechless, and asked, "He killed seven uncles in a row?"

"Yes, Miss Liu." Suo Erguo said seriously: "This Huifa tribe originally lived in the Heilongjiang River Valley. At that time, he led some tribes to settle down in Zhalu (Zhalu in the Hulan River Basin later).

At this time, Gayangga and Tumotu of the Hulun tribe lived in Zhangcheng, and their surname was Nala. Anguri Xingguli took refuge in the two, slaughtered seven cows to sacrifice to heaven, and changed his surname to Nala.Anguri Xingguli has two sons: the eldest son Liuchen and the second son Beichen.Beichen succeeded him and had two sons: the eldest son Nalingga, and the second son Naikuan.

Nalingga gave birth to Dudu Laha, Dudu Laha gave birth to Dudu Gahachan, Dudu Gahachan gave birth to Zinegen Darhan, and Zinagendarhan gave birth to Wang Jichu, who was the grandfather of Baiyindari .

Wang Jichu led the neighboring tribes to move southward to Mount Huerqi on the bank of the Huifa River (later Huifa Mountain, Huinan County, Jilin Province), where they built a city and settled there, hence the name Huifa.The terrain of Huifa City is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Mongolian Tumen Khan led an army to attack it in his early years, but was unable to conquer it. Therefore, Huifa is regarded as one of the "Four Great Divisions of Haixi".

After Wang Jichu's death, because his eldest son had already died before him, Baiyindari, the eldest son's son, was worried that Baylor's position might fall to another family, so he made preparations in advance, and suddenly violently killed seven uncles , and then established himself as Baylor, ruling the Huifa Department.

However, among his seven uncles, there are quite a few of them who are well-known, so they are punished without teaching, which naturally arouses dissatisfaction.Even though he usually dare not speak out because of Baiyindali's lustful power, but in private...it's hard to say.

Baiyindali also knew about the situation, but he had already killed seven uncles. If he killed another general in his ministry, Huifa might collapse himself, so he could only pretend not to know, but to the outside world—especially to the most Manchurians. A strong tribe, of course, would never dare to violate it in the slightest. "

"He is a cruel and ruthless person. I don't know if he has other serious abilities besides being cruel." Gao Wushi nodded, and asked again: "What about the Wula tribe?"

"The surname of the Ula tribe is Nala, but it is different from the different surname Nala of Yehenala. It is actually the real Nala with the same surname. It is also translated as Nala and Nalan. It is a big Jurchen clan. Nala During the Jin Dynasty, it was translated into Chinese as 'Nalan'. It is the surname of the Baihao in Jurchen—that is, the surname of the nobleman. The mother of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda was this surname.

The Wula tribe was first built in the fifth year of Yongle (1407) and lived in the upper reaches of the Songhua River. Wula in Manchu means river and river.Zunach Bulu of the Ula tribe moved south several times after Chenghua, and formed the Ula tribe when his descendant Du Erjishi.Buyan, the grandson of Du Erji, led the tribe to build castles and set up an army, which became stronger and stronger day by day.He unified the small tribes in Ula, established the capital city, and proclaimed himself king.

After Buyan's death, his son Mantai succeeded him as Baylor. Mantai built the capital city of Ula on the east bank of the Wula River (the upper reaches of the Songhua River, later Wula Street), imitating the style of the Ming Dynasty, with gates on all sides.

Man Tai (also translated as Man Tai) is notorious even among the Jurchens...Master, the notoriety I mentioned here is real notoriety, not bravery.Because Mantai has been extremely self-willed since he built the capital. He not only expropriated and extorted money, but also tortured and killed his subordinates at every turn, and took over all his wives and daughters. He did all kinds of evil. "

Gao Wushi hasn't said anything yet, Liu Xin has already frowned: "Such a reckless behavior, and it hasn't been killed by artificial intelligence?"

Solgo said: "It is said that many people in the Ula tribe are dissatisfied with him, but because he has a strong city to rely on, and his younger brother Buzhantai is brave in Ula, so...at least he is still alive now."

Gao Wushi waved his hand: "Let's get down to business, what is the relationship between Wula and the surrounding ministries under Mantai's rule?"

"Yes, sir." Solgo hurriedly said: "The situation of the Wula tribe may be beyond the expectations of many people. In terms of strength, this tribe is actually quite strong. On the surface, it is not even weaker than Ye He— —They can also mobilize an army of [-] at any time."

This was really beyond Gao Yushi's expectation, and he said in surprise: "The Wula tribe has such a strong strength? If it is true, why don't you see them fighting against Yehe, or sending troops to the southwest to conquer Huifa?"

"My lord, this is exactly why the servant said that Ula is 'superficially' very strong." Solgo said: "The Ula tribe became stronger by conquering many small tribes around it, but the internal system of the Ula tribe is not as good as that of Ye. He's so...so..."

Seeing that Solgo couldn't seem to find a suitable word, Gao Yushi helped him fill it up lightly: "Do you want to say 'centralization'?"

"Ah, yes, it's the centralization of power—the master is really brilliant, and he hits the nail on the head." Solgo quickly offered a flattery, and he was not disappointed when he saw that Gao Wushi was not moved, but continued: "The strength of the Wula department is divided It's very scattered, there are actually only three thousand people in the hands of Man Tai, and about two thousand in the hands of his younger brother Bu Zhantai.

Other than that, there are all kinds of small tribes. The strength of these small tribes may be three hundred or five hundred. reversed.

Because of this internal situation, although Mantai was arrogant and ridiculous, he did not dare to make trouble with Ye He.As for Huifa...the reason why they always rely on the strongest tribe in Manchuria is precisely because only in this way can Mantai's ambition be restrained. "

Gao Wushi nodded, and asked again: "What is their relationship with the three departments of Changbai Mountain?"

"Although the three divisions of Changbai Mountain have good relations with Ye He, because Ye He's business route is from Huifa to Changbai Mountain, it has been difficult for Wula to share the benefits. Therefore, the Wula tribe has always wanted to annex it for a long time. However, considering Seeing Yehe's reaction, the Wula tribe did not dare to swallow it, but provoked some small troubles every now and then, occupying a village in the Yin tribe today, and robbing a village in the Zhusheli tribe the next day.

Although Ye He would occasionally help the third department of Changbai Mountain, but Mantai was not slippery. When Ye He's attitude was tough, he would return one or two villages to give Ye He face; Or... Well, after all, Yehe will not always go to the Wula tribe for one or two villages from other tribes, so Mantai still takes a lot of advantage, and this also makes the relationship between the Wula tribe and the three tribes of Changbai Mountain more and more tense , is almost hostile. "

Gao Wushi couldn't help but said: "Huh, the little demon in the temple is very windy, and there are many kings in Chiqian." The support of the three divisions is what Daming means. If he dares not listen, I, the coalition forces of Da Mingbing, Yehe and Hada, don’t mind stepping down Wula first!"

Gao Wushi didn't show his murderous intentions so easily, but at this moment, he suddenly looked terrified, and even an old fox like Suo Erguo couldn't help but feel chills all over his body, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Yes, I will save it for you, I will send a letter to the two Baylors immediately. "

Gao Wushi waved his hand expressionlessly: "Go."
