Abatai said: "As for allowing Ama to go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and her family to live in the Ming Dynasty, we have to fight for these two things based on reason, and we will just agree to the others."
Everyone nodded.
Nurhaci nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Ninth is right. Huang Taiji will leave for Zhangjiakou immediately. He must meet with Huang Xiao and Queen Ming to find out Huang Xiao's true thoughts and propose that he can immediately carry out the plan to target Goli." Take action, purchase enough firearms, and try to modify the requirements. If you really don’t agree, then take one more step back, and Ama will just tie herself up and go to Beijing!”
All the princes were shocked and knelt down.
Nurhachi sighed: "I'm old and injured. Even if I die, it doesn't matter. If I can exchange for the safety of my tribe, it's worth it!"
Everyone was in tears.
Huang Taiji said: "If Huang Xiao refuses to give in, how will I respond?"
The hall suddenly became silent.
Nurhachi said after a while: "If this is the case, our clan can only follow the arrangements of the Ming Dynasty and fight in all directions for a chance. Brother Eight, if you are sure of Huang Xiao's sincerity, you can agree to it. If you can't , my Jurchen is dead!"
Everyone was heartbroken and fell to their knees in tears.
Huang Taiji accepted the order and said: "As for the Han ministers, I feel that I should not talk to them for the time being, so I will tell you that I will personally go to negotiate peace with the Empress of the Ming Dynasty and control them. These are the people that the Ming Dynasty wants."
Nurhachi nodded: "I will wait until you come back before making the final decision. Laoba, this time you go to Zhangjiakou and shoulder the fate of our clan. You must be patient with everything and must not act on impulse."
Huang Taiji said: "My son, I know."
Huang Taiji went into battle lightly and headed towards Kuoyang Fort. The most convenient way to get to Zhangjiakou was to take the Ming Zhenyuan ship, arrive at the capital, and then head towards Hebei. Otherwise, he would most likely miss the time.
Huang Taiji visited Cui Pinhua.
Under the leadership of Cui Pinhua, we returned to Zhenjiang Town and boarded the Zhenyuan ship.
When Huang Taiji saw the Zhenyuan ship, he was immediately shocked by this behemoth.
This boat is actually made of fine steel and can actually float on the water without sinking!
After boarding the ship, I was even more shocked by the cannons on it!
After the Zhenyuan ship started moving, Huang Taiji was shocked again.
This ironclad ship really does not need people to row it!
"This armored ship is truly ingenious, and Marquis Zhongyi is truly a genius!"
Huang Taiji had to express his heartfelt praise, even if Huang Xiao was the enemy.
Cui Pinhua said proudly: "This is natural! Do you know how much silver taels this Zhenyuan ship cost? Two million taels!"
Huang Taiji was speechless.
Cui Pinhua said: "The Marquis will build a fleet, and it will be invincible by then! Come here, I will open your eyes."
Huang Taiji was used to Cui Pinhua's impolite behavior and followed Cui Pinhua to the connection point of the boiler room.
"Look, this place is protected by three feet of fine steel. I can say without bragging that if we keep the Zhenyuan ship stationary, no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to break through it! Do you believe it? Do not believe!"
Huang Taiji touched the cold steel wall, feeling despair in his heart. With such thickness and hardness, it would take a month to cut with a knife and ax...
Cui Pinhua added: "Not just here, the ammunition depot, fort, steam engine room and many other places are designed like this. Furthermore, after being fully loaded with coal, the Zhenyuan ship can sail thousands of miles without sleep. It is a moving fortress. , my Ming Dynasty has it, haha, do you think I am invincible!"
Huang Taiji was shocked in his heart, and said in despair: "It is true, just this Zhenyuan ship, I... my Jurchen clan will find it difficult to resist!"
Cui Pinhua said: "Follow me again."
Huang Taiji followed Cui Pinhua's room.
"I'm here to open your eyes. Look at this ball."
There is a globe on the table.
Huang Taiji looked at it blankly, and suddenly said in shock: "Is this a map of the world? Why is it a round ball?"
Cui Pinhua smiled and said: "It is indeed a map of the world. As for why it is a sphere, according to the Marquis, we live on a sphere. Anyway, there is great knowledge in it. I have not learned these profound things." Knowledge, but the Marquis also made a simple analogy."
Huang Taiji said respectfully: "Please speak."
Cui Pinhua said: "Why do the sun and the moon look round? Not square? If you stand on the moon and look at where we are, what shape will it look like?"
Huang Taiji murmured: "Yes, what shape will it be? Square? No."
Cui Pinhua said: "The Marquis said that it is also round. He is a banished immortal. He must have seen it from above, so he is so sure. The Marquis also said that it is easiest to know that the earth is not flat at sea. I After trying it, I think what Mr. Hou said makes sense."
Huang Taiji nodded and asked, "What method is it?"
Cui Pinhua said: "If the earth is flat, if we see a distant ship on the sea, we should be able to see the whole thing at a glance. But in fact, the first thing we see is the ship's mast, then we gradually see the bottom, and finally we can see The whole picture, and there are many methods, I won’t go into them one by one, and this is not what I want to tell you.”
Cui Pinhua pointed to the globe.
"This is the Ming Dynasty, this is the Japanese country, this is Goryeo, here is your Jurchens, here is Mongolia, here is Russia, which is the area that the Marquis asked you to conquer! And here, this is America, the homeland of China, here... …”
Following Cui Pinhua's fingers.
The shock in Huang Taiji's heart was really extraordinary.
"The world is actually so big?"
"My Jurchen is only the size of a fingernail?"
Cui Pinhua laughed out loud: "How much space do you think you guys take up? Looking at your ignorant look, you are like a frog in a well!"
Huang Taiji did not refute, but still looked at the globe with disbelief.
"When I saw this sphere, I truly believed what Marquis Zhongyi said. The world is so big that it can indeed accommodate the Jurchens and the Ming Dynasty."
Cui Pinhua smiled: "Of course, although I still disagree with Lord Hou's treatment of you Jurchens, it is indeed as you said. The world is so big, why do you have to fight to death with the Ming Dynasty in the bitter cold land of Liaodong? Live? The Marquis specifically pointed out a place, as long as you and the Mongolian Department can follow the arrangements of the Marquis."
Huang Taiji asked urgently: "How?"
Cui Pinhua pointed to Australia.
"This place is a natural pasture with a pleasant climate and spring-like weather all year round. The area is not smaller than the Ming Dynasty."
Huang Taiji's eyes gleamed and his breathing became rapid.
He said in a trembling voice: "Master Hou, are you going to give this to us Jurchens?"
Cui Pinhua smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? It's such a big piece of land, but the Marquis' plan is to divide it between you and the Mongolian people. This depends on your merits!"
