Huang Taiji's face was half green and half red. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered Huang Xiao's novel that Hai Dongzhu had said.
"I heard that the Marquis wrote a book called The Legend of the Condor Heroes. I wonder if you can give me a copy."
Cui Pinhua nodded and asked someone to get a set.
"Take a good look at it. There is a lot of knowledge in it. If you understand it, you will know how broad-minded the Marquis is!"
Huang Taiji thanked him, called his entourage to come in, and carried Abai with him.
The group of people returned to Sarhu in a hurry.
Nurhaci and the princes had been waiting for a long time, while Li Yongfang and other ministers were waiting outside.
Abhay was carried in.
When father, son, and brothers meet, they all sigh for a while.
Huang Taiji told the situation.
There was no one else here, so Huang Taiji didn't hide anything.
Everyone was shocked!
Daming’s conditions are too harsh!
It’s simply unimaginable!
Before Nurhaci had time to speak, Amin said angrily: "The Ming dog bullies people too much! You want me, Dajin, to dethrone the country and give up the land of Longxing! If you take your children as hostages and help the Ming conquer all directions, won't our clan become the Ming Dynasty?" A slave of the country? I, the Jurchen, will never be a slave!"
The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and he knelt in front of Nurhachi's bed.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty to issue an order to mobilize all the warriors of the clan to go to Zhangjiakou and destroy Zhang Yan and Huang Xiao in one fell swoop!"
The room was silent.
Everyone agreed with Amin's statement and were very moved.
Daming’s conditions are really too harsh!
If the current territory is preserved and reduced to a vassal state, then this condition is still acceptable!
But Daming is not in this condition, and everyone's bottom line has been broken at once!
Abatai also knelt down and said: "Although Erbeile's words are good, the Ming Dynasty is too powerful. I led my troops to fight once, and I don't need to say more about the result. The weapons of the Ming Dynasty are too powerful. Our warriors Although he is brave and not afraid of death, he is really unbeatable!"
He shed tears as he spoke and said: "So many warriors who were good at conquering and fighting were killed by the Ming army's fire blunderbuss before they even had a chance to run into the fighting place. Amma, I can't anger Marquis Zhongyi anymore." , otherwise if he comes with the divine beasts and divine fire, our Jurchen clan..."
Abai said: "Amma, after my son was captured, he went around in the Ming Dynasty. Now I, Da Jin, are really no match for the Ming Dynasty. Although Cui Pinhua's words are unpleasant, he is telling the truth. If the Ming Dynasty wants to destroy me, The Jurchen clan has this ability!"
Nurhachi coughed weakly and looked at Huang Taiji.
"Eighth Brother, tell me."
Huang Taiji said: "Amin is loyal to our clan, but this method is not advisable. Ninth brother and third brother are right. With the help of Huang Xiao, the Ming Dynasty is no longer what it used to be. Their weapons are much more powerful than ours." Too much can not be made up for by bravery! He asked Erchen to meet him in Zhangjiakou, and Erchen is going to meet him. "
Nurhaci hummed.
Huang Taiji continued: "Now that I, Dajin, have been defeated, the various Mongolian tribes no longer fear me, Dajin, and they dare not trade supplies with us. Ming Dynasty has also specifically targeted our Liaodong specialties. Now, my days, Dajin, will surely get worse." The more sad it is! I think we can first comply with Ming's suggestion and send troops to Korea to borrow food."
"Moreover, Ming Dynasty has promised to sell weapons to us. In this way, our army will be able to win easily, and we can also obtain population and supplies, as well as Ming Dynasty's weapons. Furthermore, it will prevent Ming Dynasty from attacking us immediately."
Nurha Chidao: "What if this is a conspiracy of the Ming Dynasty? Goryeo has always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. When the Japanese invaded Goryeo, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to rescue them every time. We, the Jin Dynasty, conquered Goryeo, and the Ming Dynasty did the same. Why did Huang Xiao make such a request this time? This is unreasonable, unreasonable!”
Others had listened to Huang Taiji's talk before and felt that it made sense.
Now when I heard Nurhachi's question, I felt that Nurhaci really had a unique vision and saw things differently from ordinary people.
Huang Taiji said: "On the way back, Erchen was also thinking about this issue. Indeed, as Amma said, it is unreasonable. However, Erchen carefully recalled all the words Cui Pinhua reported Huang Xiao. Erchen believed that Huang Xiao The idea is his true idea, he really wants to destroy Goryeo."
Everyone was shocked.
Abai asked: "Why? Why didn't I hear it?"
"There is a sentence in Cui Pinhua's narration to the effect that Marquis Zhongyi regards my Jurchen clan as a member of the history of all ethnic groups in China. The implication is that Huang Xiao recognizes that we are also a member of China. From this, it can be inferred that Huang Xiao does not agree with Goryeo as a member of the Chinese ethnic group. , for the same reason, he also believes that the Mongolian people are also a part of China."
Nurhaci and all the princes were stunned.
Mang Gurtai said: "Since Huang Xiao agrees that we are the same clan, why do they want to exterminate our clan! Put forward such harsh conditions?"
Amin nodded: "This is impossible! They have always regarded us as barbarians, how can we be considered a clan? This is a lie!"
Nurhaci looked at Huang Taiji thoughtfully.
Huang Taiji continued: "I heard from people that Huang Xiao wrote a story novel called The Legend of the Condor Heroes. It is said that in it he did not discriminate or favor the Mongolian tribe. This time I went to Kuoyang Fort to find Cui Pinhua asked for a copy, and on the way back, he briefly read part of it, and found that Huang Xiao is indeed as Cui Pinhua said, and he does not have much prejudice against all ethnic groups."
"This book tells the story of the Song Dynasty. The protagonist is a Han, but he grew up in the desert, lived in the Temujin tribe, and learned to ride and shoot. The book has many praises for the Mongolians' enthusiasm, hospitality, and generosity... Moreover, this book was written before Huang Xiao’s rise, so there should be no lie.”
Nurhachi nodded and said, "Do you mean to agree to Huang Xiao's request?"
Huang Taiji said sternly: "Although this incident is a humiliation for me, Dajin, it is not an opportunity. We obtain the population and supplies of Goryeo, and I, Dajin, can survive the difficult days. Furthermore, we can also test out what the Ming Dynasty is." I am not sincerely willing to sell weapons and other supplies, and in addition, I can also postpone the hostility with Ming Dynasty."
Nurhaci nodded again.
Huang Taiji said: "I still have some calculations. If the Ming Dynasty's guns and artillery are sold to us, and we gather the ingenuity of the whole family and develop them ourselves, we can naturally increase our own strength. One day, we can also compete with The Ming Dynasty competed with each other. Furthermore, Huang Xiao said that in the far east, there is fertile land that is larger than the Ming Dynasty. If our clan is strong and occupies this fertile land, then we will be far away from the Ming Dynasty. It is not impossible for us to live in peace with each other. Maybe, it’s much better than fighting the Ming Dynasty in this bitter cold land and getting bloody!”
Upon hearing this, Mang Gurtai praised: "Sibele's words are so good! The Ming Dynasty has always guarded us against the firearms. As long as the Ming Dynasty gives them to us, I don't believe that they can't be imitated! Don't the Han people say that they are brave enough to suffer hardships?" I think it’s feasible!”
