I am the carpenter king

Night, as quiet as water.

The weather in July is already very hot, and the night makes people feel even more sultry, and it makes people breathless when sitting in a tent.With his hands behind his back, looking at the map in front of him, recalling the battle during the day, Huang Taiji sighed softly.

I don't know what's going on in Liaodong, what's going on with Dorgon in Guangning, and what's going on with Father Khan Nurhachi.Thinking about the whole plan, Huang Taiji smiled wryly and shook his head, Da Jin's strength was far from that of Da Ming's.If it weren't for Yang Gao's mistakes, Dajin might have perished in the first battle of Sarhu, but after so long, Dajin still failed to gain enough strength.

There was only one Sun Chengzong in Liaodong, and Shenyang City was defeated in the first battle. In a famine year, the entire Dajin had no way out.Every victory is obtained by a method close to gambling, and every victory is stained red by the blood of the Eight Banners. The rise of the Dajin and the Jurchen's rise on the grassland again, I am afraid it will not happen overnight.

At this time, Huang Taiji suddenly felt that he could understand his father Khan Nurhachi's thoughts, and also understood why he proposed such a plan and his father agreed.Although the plan is risky, the benefits are huge. Every success of Father Khan is a huge gamble, a gamble of life.This gamble continued throughout Father Khan's life, from youth to old age.

Thinking of the gaze of his father Khan Nurhachi, Huang Taiji suddenly understood what was contained in it, which was hope.I hope that Dajin can rise, I hope that the Jurchens will no longer be enslaved, and I hope that I can become the overlord of a generation.

At this moment, Huang Taiji experienced the first failure in his life and accepted it.At this moment, Huang Taiji's heart began to change.She is no longer young and impulsive, but has become extremely deep and tough.

Walking out of the tent slowly, looking at the sky outside, listening to the insects in the surrounding grass, Huang Taiji took a deep breath.Gently closing his eyes, Huang Taiji kept praying in his heart.I hope that the gods all over the sky can bless the Jurchen, Dajin, and my father, Nurhachi.

Standing on the city wall, stroking the cold blue bricks, Qi Jin's expression was unusually deep and cold.Looking at the brightly lit camp in the distance, Qi Jin's body was trembling constantly, and his hands were tightly grasping the city wall.

A person walked slowly behind Qi Jin, stretched out his hand to gently wrap around Qi Jin's waist, and rested his head on Qi Jin's back.Quietly did not speak.

After a long time, Qi Jin sighed softly, and said in a rather helpless tone: "It's not like I said it, don't come to the city wall, this is not a place for a woman like you."

"I also said that if you have nothing to do, you should go back to rest early, and leave a concubine for your family early." The woman's voice was very crisp, and she spoke without any scruples.It can be seen that she is a straightforward woman.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Qi Jin said helplessly: "This kind of thing can't be forced. Sometimes it will be counterproductive. Back then, my uncle wanted a son and someone to carry on the family line for him, so he secretly raised a foreign house behind his back. .He had a son, but he was abandoned by his aunt later, and his family was completely empty, and he died in depression."

Gently turned Qi Jin's body around.Resting her head on Qi Jin's chest, the woman said softly: "For so many years, this breath has always been in your heart, and you are always so unhappy. I know that you can't let go of the uncle's matter. The court treats our Qi family It's not fair. But what can we do? I said that I would disarm and return to the fields with you when I was alive. You will plow the field and we weave. Life will be much more comfortable than this."

Sighing deeply, Qi Jin said in a helpless tone: "For so many years, we know how the imperial court has taken us. To say something disrespectful, the emperor is stupid, the ministers only care about the party and government, and the whole Ming Dynasty building will collapse. Husband, I am not attached to this official position. Why do I want to disarm and return to the farmland, and live a carefree life with you. But whenever I think of my uncle's entrustment, and the children of the Qi family army, I feel very sad as a husband, and I know that I can't leave If my husband leaves, what will happen to the Qi family soldiers in the city? If my husband is here, they will be the Qi family army; if my husband is not here, they will become cannon fodder!"

The woman also sighed, and said in a rather helpless tone: "Husband, don't get excited. The concubine just said that. How could I really let the husband leave? It's not that the concubine doesn't know what the husband thinks."

Hugging the woman vigorously, Qi Jin said with a look of pity: "My lady, it has been difficult for you for so many years, and it is my Qi Jin's blessing to marry you."

"Husband, please don't say that. I am very ashamed. There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no offspring is the greatest. I haven't given birth to a child for my husband for so many years. No matter how I say it, I am sorry for my husband." The woman seems to have no children. He is quite concerned about things, and his tone is very low when he speaks.

Gently pulling the woman's hand, Qi Jin pointed to the barracks that had become, and said with a smile: "Look over there, lady, there is a big camp for building slaves. The lady thinks that if my husband takes someone to steal the camp, can we rebuild the slave camp?" ?”

"Of course, with my husband's ability and the elite of the Qi family army, this is naturally no problem, but I think it's better for my husband not to go." The woman's tone was very affirmative, but she became hesitant after speaking.

"Young lady, you can say whatever you want, and I will listen to your husband." Qi Jin looked at the woman and said with a smile.

After pondering for a while, the woman said, "Let's forget about this matter! My aunt was strong back then, which made my uncle cautious about everything. I don't want to interfere with my husband's affairs, I should do what a woman should do. That's fine." As for Qi Jiguang's wife, Qi Jin and the woman naturally knew each other, and the woman obviously took this as a warning.

With a soft smile, Qi Jin said calmly: "I am not an uncle, I am not as good as my aunt, and I am always unconvinced. I have fought with my aunt for a lifetime, but it seems that I have never won. The two of us are different. We respect each other as guests , my husband won't be jealous because of your talent, I will be very happy."

Seeing Qi Jin's serious expression, the woman suddenly laughed, and the crisp laughter floated on the city wall.After laughing, the woman's expression immediately became serious, when she lightly put her hands together, slowly closed her eyes, and kept saying: "Uncle and aunt, don't blame Qi Jin, he didn't mean it."

Looking at the woman angrily and funny, Qi Jin took his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, uncle and aunt love me very much, how can you blame me?"

Gently waving his hand, Qi Jin said with a smile: "Don't say anything else, I'm asking you for my husband, why do you think it's inappropriate for me to make a surprise attack?"

"Husband, yes, the Qi family army is elite, but the slaves under the city are also very elite. We have fewer people, and the current Qi family army is no longer the Qi family army of the past. The people are still those people, but our equipment is too poor. We What is there now? Those Frankie cannons on the city wall were used by my uncle at that time, and there are only those. The Jian slaves below the city wall are not stupid. They have just suffered a defeat during the day, and they must be very careful at night. .” The woman said after hearing Qi Jin’s words.

Nodding his head slowly, Qi Jin smiled at the woman, and said in a deep voice: "The lady continues."

"My husband's duty is to guard the three camps. Even if my husband wins, the credit may not be credited to my husband. But if I am defeated, I am afraid that my husband will be punished. What will happen to the Qi family army at that time? My husband still cannot go. "The woman's words were very low, very concerned, and her tone was full of worry.

Sighing deeply, Qi Jin patted the woman's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay! As a husband, I will obey my wife, and I won't go stealing to be a husband. Now let's go back and steal people." He picked up the woman and walked down the city.

The woman didn't scream either, obviously this wasn't the first time, but just after walking a few steps, the woman said, "Husband, what do you think about what my concubine told you last time?"

"Which thing?" Qi Jin was taken aback for a moment, looked at the woman with some confusion, and asked in surprise.

"It's about asking you to write a letter to Ying Zhen, a non-commissioned officer of the Ministry of Justice, the Cabinet University. I heard that this official is very good. He was the one who strongly recommended Zhang Juzheng to vindicate Zhang Juzheng in front of the emperor. The uncle's matter is also this Master Zhang. Zhang Luo, write him a letter and ask him to say a few words in front of the emperor, Qi's army may be different." The woman looked at Qi Jin cautiously, and said expectantly.

Shaking his head vigorously, Qi Jin said with a wry smile: "We have been husband and wife for many years, and you still don't understand how a husband is? How could a husband do such a thing? Besides, Guan Yingzhen doesn't know what a husband is. Civilian factions are everywhere. Fight for the court. If Zhang Siwei, the second assistant of the cabinet, and Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, hadn't turned their faces back then, my uncle would not have fallen into that situation. I don't believe in any of these civil servants in the capital. I can't hand over the Qi family army In the hands of people I don't know, this is the only root left by Qi's army, and I have to keep it for my uncle."

The woman sighed softly and said nothing. She looked at her man with distressed expression on her face.For so many years, my man has carried too many things. He is really hard and tired. I pray that God will bless my husband and the Qi family army.

There was nothing to say all night, Huang Taiji got up very early the next morning, looking at the Santun camp not far away, Huang Taiji's eyes softened a lot.With a different light flashing in his eyes, Huang Taiji said calmly to the people around him: "Order to go down and tidy things up, we will go back to Zunhua."

"Yes, Lord Belle!" The soldier saluted Huang Taiji respectfully, turned and left.

Huang Taiji didn't know that at the same morning, Sang Ke was bringing his troops to Huang Taiji's side.Behind Sanke is Sun Chengzong and his [-] army. (To be continued..)
