I saw my father who seemed to have aged many years.
"Amma!"
Huang Taiji knelt in front of the hospital bed and shed tears.
"It's good to come back. Amma's defeat is unclear this time, but she is convinced. No matter whether the Empress of Ming Dynasty and Marquis Zhongyi are immortals or not, our Jurchen clan will never be as invincible as before. The invention developed by Marquis Zhongyi Artillery and muskets have changed the way of fighting, and no matter how brave the warriors are, they can't get close to their troops."
"A few days ago, Abatai led his troops to fight against the Ming army in Fushun. The result was a disastrous defeat. No one in the Ming army was killed, and none of us rushed within fifty steps of them. Brother Eight, Amma is worried Can my Jurchen clan still exist? My health is getting worse and worse. After my death, who will lead my clan? Where will it go from here? I want to hear your thoughts."
Nurhachi also shed tears when he said this.
Huang Taiji also felt helpless for a while.
"Amma, if this is the case, we can no longer go against the Ming Dynasty. We can sue for peace and then slowly make plans for it. Although the Ming Dynasty is strong, it will not always be so strong. As long as we retain our strength, we will not make a comeback in the future. impossible."
Nurhachi nodded and said: "This idea is good, but I wonder if Ming Dynasty will give this opportunity? Cui Pinhua, a reporter from Ming Dynasty Daily, is taking Abai on his way to Liaodong Guyang Fort and will arrive today. You go and meet on my behalf to see what conditions Ming has put forward, and it is up to you to decide."
"They came so fast?" Huang Taiji asked in surprise.
Nurhaci sighed and said bitterly: "We came together on the gunboat Zhenyuan, which transported supplies. This ironclad ship is made of fine steel and powered by a steam engine. It is very fast and works day and night. This ironclad ship alone, Equipped with more than 50 artillery pieces, they disembarked in Zhenjiang and asked us to send people to talk to Kuiyang Fort and name you to go. You can go now."
"Now that I, Dajin, have been defeated again and again, after you go, Sun Chengzong will temporarily stop attacking, and I, Dajin, can also take a breath... You go!"
Huang Taiji kowtows: "Mama, take care, my son has gone."
Cui Pinhua took Abai to stay at Kuoyang Castle.
"The Empress has ordered that Motian Ridge be renamed Fenghuang Mountain because the Empress fell on it. The Holy Mountain must not be disturbed without any reason, and the Luofeng Tower should be built at the top of the mountain. This is the blueprint. General Mao, please find someone to arrange this. The scope must not be stepped on and any changes made.”
Mao Wenlong picked up the call and made arrangements immediately.
Little did the two of them know that this was just Huang Xiao pretending to pass on the imperial edict.
Huang Taiji traveled day and night and arrived at Kuoyang Fort the next morning.
He was brought in to see Cui Pinhua.
Although it was very humiliating, the situation was not as good as others, and Huang Taiji had nothing to say.
"Welcome, please take a seat."
Cui Pinhua didn't even leave the seat, talking with a smile on her face.
"Thank you."
Huang Taiji saw the third prince Abai on the stretcher next to Cui Pinhua at a glance.
Abai was shot in the shoulder and both legs that day. After treatment, he was not seriously injured, but his muscles and bones were injured and he had difficulty moving.
Cui Pinhua said: "Don't worry, Sibeile. Your third brother is just injured and has not recovered. I, Ming, are not as inhumane as you. You can take them back with you later. This can be regarded as a meeting gift from Ming, too!"
Huang Taiji reluctantly thanked him again.
Huang Taiji said: "Speaking of human nature, Marquis Zhongyi burned Shengjing..."
Cui Pinhua interrupted: "No, call Shenyang!"
Huang Taiji suppressed his anger and said: "Burn tens of thousands of my Dajin people to death..."
Cui Pinhua interrupted again and said calmly: "In front of me, you must not mention the country's title of Daikin!
I am here to negotiate with you on behalf of Marquis Zhongyi. You must clearly understand your own strength and status. I don’t want to interrupt you again. "
Huang Taiji was furious: "You are too arrogant."
Cui Pinhua said lightly: "This is my attitude. If you don't want to talk, please do so. I can guarantee that soon you will feel what artillery washing means. This time I brought two hundred artillery and a large number of Come here with the ammunition, to be honest, it’s best if you don’t talk about it!”
Huang Taiji really wanted to turn around and leave, but he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Cui Pinhua said: "That's right! Don't feel any humiliation. If you are the victorious party, what awaits my people of the Ming Dynasty is your bloody butcher knife. If not for the sake of Marquis Zhongyi, you are still useful. , do you believe it or not, I, the Ming Dynasty, will destroy you with ease!"
Huang Taiji retorted: "In that case, why did Marquis Zhongyi send you here?"
Cui Pinhua laughed and said, "Do you think I came here to negotiate with you? I think you Jurchens still haven't seen the situation clearly. First of all, let me declare that this time I am following the instructions of Marquis Zhongyi and coming here to convey the order to you. !”
Huang Taiji laughed angrily and said: "Marquis Zhongyi is too loud! It is true that this time I am... our clan has suffered a temporary defeat, but with all our strength, our clan can carry hundreds of thousands of armors. It’s not like we don’t have the strength to fight!”
Cui Pinhua looked at Huang Taiji contemptuously, "Okay, you can go back. The Marquis asked me to give you a message. If you are still staying in Liaodong, then don't blame me, Daming, for being rude. Kill one by one! Until they are all killed." !”
Abai felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, and quickly said: "Brother, please don't act out of anger. Reporter Cui, what my eighth brother just said was angry. Please calm down."
Huang Taiji thought of the conversation he had with his father yesterday. Along the way, he saw the low morale of the sergeants. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and secretly woke up. He couldn't lose his cool today.
"Reporter Cui, I just came back from the grassland, and I am indeed confused about the situation. I just said something inappropriate. Don't blame me."
Abhay breathed a sigh of relief.
After he was captured, he was very unconvinced.
But after staying in the army for more than ten days, and spending four or five days on the ship, he saw how powerful the Ming army was!
Cui Pinhua smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, let's continue talking."
"You sent the killer Qin Song to assassinate the marquis, and collaborated with the Hakka family and others to kill the king. For these two things alone, the whole Ming Dynasty cannot tolerate your continued existence. Moreover, you are cruel and immoral, killing Liao people indiscriminately, euphemistically called killing without mercy. People of the valley, just because of this, what's wrong with the Marquis and your empress burning your shitty palace?
Maybe you still don’t know that the Marquis once again summoned six mythical beasts, namely the Fire Phoenix reborn from the ashes, His Majesty’s Divine Dragon, and the four major mythical beasts of Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu. Let me ask, what if the Marquis traveled along the Saarhu River? Burn all the way through. "
"Don't say you are wearing armor worth hundreds of thousands, it's just one million. What do I, the Ming Dynasty, have to fear?"
Huang Taiji and Abai were both shocked.
Fire Phoenix is reborn?
The six mythical beasts?
