In order to solve this problem, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji began to actively make friends with Horqin Mongolia and even marry him.
With Horqin Mongolia blocking the buffer, Lin Danhan's Chahar troops could not reach Houjin's lair.
Nurhachi himself married Borzigit, the daughter of Horqin Beileming'an, as a side Fujin.
In addition, Nurhachi's son Huang Taiji also married Horqin girls, namely Zhezhe, Bumubutai, and Haidongzhu.
Zhezhe is the daughter of Mangus.
And Mangusi is Ming'an's brother, so Huang Taiji turned himself into the brother-in-law of his father Nurhachi.
To put it simply, Nurhachi and his son married the daughters of the Mangus brothers respectively.
…
Bumubutai and Haidongzhu are biological sisters, the daughters of Buhe, the son of Manggul.
Zhezhe is Buhe's sister.
They are all Huang Taiji's wives.
In other words, Zhezhe is the biological aunt of Bumu Butai (called Dayu'er in unofficial history, and Huang Taiji's brother, the regent Dorgon) and Haidongzhu!
At this time, Manggus had been dead for several years. His Fujin, Gunbu Fujin, was adopted by his grandson, Buhe's son Sonuo, and gave birth to two daughters and one son.
One of the daughters, who is only five years old this year, later married Nurhachi's fourteenth son Dorgon and became her direct descendant and was named the Righteous Queen.
…
How to calculate it specifically is not our concern.
The tenth year of destiny is this year, February.
Thirteen-year-old Bumu Butai was escorted to Shengjing by her brother Wu Keshan, married to Huang Taiji, and became his successor. His aunt, Zhezhe, was a member of the Dafu Jin Dynasty.
Bumu Butai's sister Hai Dongzhu was seventeen years old at this time. She did not marry Huang Taiji until nine years later, at the age of twenty-six.
Hai Dongzhu was named the Concubine of Guanju Palace and was extremely favored by Huang Taiji. She was Huang Taiji's favorite woman. Huang Taiji gave her high honors and honors both before and after her death.
This time Huang Taiji proposed to exchange supplies with the Mongolian tribe, and his first stop was to go to his father-in-law's tribe.
When he brought supplies and gifts, and the elite soldiers with the Zhengbai flag to fight on the grassland, he did not know that the Great Jin Kingdom was suffering an earth-shaking blow at this moment.
Huang Taiji's arrival made his father-in-law Bu He very happy. He was already the leader of the Horqin tribe at this time. He asked his sons Wu Keshan and Sonuo to welcome him out in person.
"Meet Buhe Taiji."
Huang Taiji first saluted Bu He, and then saluted his uncle Wu Keshan and his brother-in-law Sonuo.
Bu He laughed loudly: "You're welcome, why didn't Yu'er come back together to visit her?"
Huang Taiji said: "The wind and snow are too heavy. When spring comes next year, I will bring Yu'er back with me."
Bu He laughed and said affectionately: "Let's go into the tent and talk."
Huang Taiji married Bu He's sister Zhezhe nine years ago as his direct Fujin, and this year he married Buhe's youngest daughter Bumu Butai as his side Fujin. The title was inconvenient, and Buhe would only be named He after his death. Prince Shuozhong called Buhe Taiji after Huang Taiji to avoid embarrassment.
During the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols called Genghis Khan's golden family nobles Taiji, which was most likely the transliteration of the Chinese "Prince".
In the Qing Dynasty, Taiji became a hereditary title for Mongolian nobles. It is said that it started because of Huang Taiji.
In fact, Huang Taiji is not his real name. It is a Manchu transliteration. Some people write it as "Huang Taiji", which is somewhat similar to the crown prince. Of course, the specific name of Huang Taiji will not be elaborated here.
Bu He asked people to arrange Huang Taiji's entourage and led Huang Taiji into the tent.
As soon as Huang Taiji entered, he saw Hai Dongzhu nestling next to Buhe's Fujin Boli.
Haidong Pearl is also known as Horqin Pearl, which is extremely beautiful and charming.
Among this crowd of men, he was naturally very eye-catching.
Huang Taiji was deeply attracted by Hai Dongzhu's beauty at the first sight. Hai Dongzhu glared at Huang Taiji with a pair of big eyes, like a proud peacock, raising his head and ignoring the emperor. Tai Chi.
Huang Taiji woke up with a start and hurriedly bowed down and saluted.
After we sat down, we were served steaming kumiss.
Buhe coughed and asked, "Is Sibeile okay with coming here in this freezing and snowy season?"
Huang Taiji said sternly: "I, Dajin, are currently fighting against the Ming Dynasty, and the supply of food and grass is tight. Following Amma's order, I brought ginseng and deer antlers and mink skins. I want to exchange some supplies with your department. I don't know if it is possible."
Bu He's eyes lit up.
"Tianming Khan and Sibeile are too polite. Although our department is also in difficulty now, now that Sibeile has spoken, we have to deal with it no matter how difficult it is."
The emperor was very happy and thanked him.
He called his entourage and handed over the gift list and cargo list.
Bu He smiled, took a sip of kumiss, and said, "Sibele is like this, probably because the Ming Dynasty copied the Fan family and other eight families in Zhangjiakou."
Huang Taiji stopped smiling and nodded gloomily.
"In the past, eight great families raised military rations and supplies for me, Dai Jin. Now that the eight great families have been confiscated by the Ming Dynasty, how difficult will it be for me, Dai Jin?"
Bu He said: "As a family, if we don't say anything different, I will tell the truth. Our winter supplies are all purchased from Zhangjiakou. I just agreed to Sibeile, and I also took a certain risk..."
Huang Taiji said: "Thank you for your help, Mr. Patriarch. I, Dai Jin, am not ignorant. Naturally, these exchanges cannot be determined based on the previous prices, and the nobles will not be busy in vain."
Buhe said: "Sibeile misunderstood! After the Ming Dynasty regained control of Zhangjiakou, it still opened trade with our Mongolian ministries. The prices were much more reasonable than before, and the quality of the goods was extremely high! All ministries gathered in Zhangjiakou and Yansui Town We go to trade at the port, but no one has gone to other ports.”
"However, the guards at these two places issued an order that large quantities of mink skins, Dongzhu, ginseng and other goods are not allowed to be purchased in large quantities. They can only be brought into the market in pieces, or smuggled through nearby passes. If you enter Daming, the price will be extremely low. This is the risk I am talking about."
Huang Taiji's expression changed again and again when he heard this, and finally he couldn't help shouting angrily: "Da Ming is deliberately targeting me, Da Jin!"
Bu He refilled Huang Taiji's kumiss, "There is no need to be angry with Sibeile. The Ming Dynasty is rich in supplies, as has always been the case. They have also targeted my Mongolian tribe before."
Huang Taiji took a big sip of kumiss.
"Master Patriarch, how much is the price of this batch of goods?"
Buhe sighed and said, "I can't say anything about this. Otherwise, Sibeile should go to the next pass and find a way to take action, so as not to hurt the harmony between your family and ours."
Huang Taiji had a sense of arrogance, so naturally he would not obey, otherwise it would make the Horqin tribe look down upon him.
"No, the patriarch just asks for the price!"
Bu He looked at Hai Dongzhu and said, "Dongzhu, you will do more trade in Ming Dynasty. You can do the math."
Hae Dongzhu took the list and looked at it.
"In the past, it could be exchanged for 50,000 dan of food."
Huang Taiji nodded.
Hai Dongzhu put the list on the table and said calmly: "But now 10,000 stones have to be paid in advance, so it's hard to make a move."
Huang Taiji almost vomited blood, fifty thousand turned into ten thousand!
"Okay! Just ten thousand stones!"
Hai Dongzhu's bright eyes suddenly lit up.
"Sibeile, we have good white salt and iron pots. Do you only want to exchange food?"
Huang Taiji nodded.
Hae Dongzhu received the list in disappointment and went to hand it over on his own.
Bu He sighed: "Zhu'er just likes these business affairs. Don't be angry Sibeile. Although the price given by Zhu'er is a little low, it is definitely not a scam. I will give you some refined salt later, and you can take it back with you. There are also some Take away your daughter’s belongings as well.”
Huang Taiji thanked him.
Buhe said: "Does Sibeile know what is the most sought-after commodity in Zhangjiakou today? Wool! The Ming Dynasty purchased wool in large quantities! And the price is really not low! Now all ministries are discussing to increase the number of sheep and pastures in the coming year."
