Zhezhe followed Bushiyamala on the way south almost in a daze.
For her, her destiny has never been in her own hands. From the time when her father and uncle proposed that she and her cousin marry to Jurchen in Jianzhou, she knew that her fate had already been arranged by her father and them. , I can only passively accept it.
I may be doing better. I heard that he is the son of the Jurchen leader of Jianzhou and is only twenty years old. But my cousin is in a miserable situation. She has to marry Nurhaci, the Jurchen leader of Jianzhou who is in his fifties. According to the customs on the grassland, once Nurhaci passes away. , the son who inherits his status can also marry his cousin.
But no one could change this outcome. She and her cousin could only accept it silently.
But the situation is always changing. At the end of the year, I heard some news that the situation on the grassland had changed greatly. It was rumored that the Inner Khalkha people would not allow the marriage between Horqin and Jianzhou Jurchen.
But when will it be the turn of the Inner Khalkhas to speak again on the grassland?
Either the Jurchens from Jianzhou or the Chahar people have the loudest voices. This has been the case on the grasslands for so many years, but now it seems that something has changed.
The clan seemed to have been waiting for something, so the marriage between himself and his cousin was put on hold, and he didn't know what happened.
Later, the direction of the wind changed completely, and the Nekalkha army entered Horqin's territory. My uncle and father went to talk to the Nekalkha people for a long time. In short, my father was very silent when they came back, and the atmosphere in the tribe was not very good. .
Later, news came that the Jianzhou Jurchens were defeated by Da Zhou and retreated. Then the marriage between himself and his cousin and the Jianzhou Jurchens was naturally annulled and replaced by a new marriage contract.
My cousin was going to be the concubine of the leader of the Inner Khalkha people, but she was actually going to be given to a high-ranking Han official from the Zhou Dynasty to be his concubine.
Zhezhe was so confused that his clan sent him to the Inner Khalkha people, and the Inner Khalkha people now sent him here.
Only after seeing Busia Mara did Zhezhe roughly understand what was going on.
Bushiya Mara didn't hide it from herself, and told the whole situation very frankly. The Nekalkha people just gave her to Master Feng, but she didn't expect that the Haixi Jurchens, or Jurchens, are also on the grassland. The most famous grassland Ming
Zhubu Xiyamala actually followed this man a long time ago and even gave birth to children for him.
This news shocked Zhezhe.
It is said that he is the second Bushiya Mara on the grassland. More than ten years ago, Bushiya Mara was said by the shaman that he could "make the world prosperous or destroy it", which attracted countless people's attention. However, more than ten years later, he He was also said by the shaman that "he has the aura of great wealth and will be extremely valuable in the future." This made the people in the tribe look at him with admiration, but Zhezhe had no idea what his future fate would be.
Looking at the little girl's confused look, Busia Mara saw in a trance that she had been arranged like this by her father and brother on the grassland more than ten years ago. One engagement ended, another was concluded, and then canceled again. All in all, welcoming and sending off affects the hearts of the Mongolian and Jurchen tribes on the grassland.
Now that I have faded out of this marital war, it is the turn of the little girl Zhezhe again.
For a moment, Bushiyamala also felt a little more pity for this little girl who was less than fourteen years old.
"Zhezhe, are you a little at a loss?" The two women sat in the carriage heading south together.
Bushiyamala actually doesn't like riding this kind of carriage, even though this kind of carriage has been improved. Something called a spring leaf is used on the upper end of the axle to reduce the vibration of the carriage, which makes the riding comfort of the carriage much better. But she still prefers horseback riding.
But now her status is not suitable for riding horses, because her image is too ostentatious on the grassland, and many people on the grassland know her. On the contrary, Sanjie You can ostentatiously change into men's clothes and ride horses with Feng Ziying.
"Brother and sister Dong, I don't know either. My father just told me to be obedient all the way. He said that when my daughter's parents grow up, she will always have someone to marry her. He told me to obey the arrangements and be filial to our aunt..." Zhe
Zhe used Chinese words in a somewhat stiff manner, which made Busia Mara feel a little uncomfortable. She doesn't know the words "filial piety to the aunt," and of course she has never been filial to the aunt. And Mangus actually taught his daughter this. It has to be said that the Horqin people have the highest degree of sinicization among the Mongolians. Many Horqin people will say this. Chinese, and Han businessmen also like to do business in the territory of the Horqin people.
"Honor our aunt?" Busia Mara smiled half-heartedly, "Mangusi knows you said you were going to Han to be a concubine for the Han people?"
"Father knows." Zhezhe nodded. "Earlier, it was said that it would be given to the Inner Khalkha people, and later it was said that it would be given to the Han people.
..."
"Then do you think it's better to marry someone from Inner Khalkha, or marry someone from Han Dynasty?" Bushiya Mara deliberately teased the little girl. "I don't know." Zhezhe looked at it.
"Senior." He suddenly summoned up the courage to say, "But Brother Dong and Sister Dong are already married to this man. A man who can make Brother Dong and Sister Dong look up to him and be willing to do so must be a great hero. Then Zhezhe will naturally be willing to do it."
Was betrayed by Zhezhe
General Busia Mara felt that he had underestimated this little girl. After all, she came from a wealthy family and had always been familiar with it. She still had some understanding of the grasslands, Liaodong, and Han Dynasty.
"So you also know who you are going to marry?" Bushyamara laughed.
"I heard that he is a high-ranking Han official, and even the Han generals in Liaodong have to obey his orders." Zhezhe gradually regained her composure from the initial nervousness and worry, especially since she also felt that Busia Mara had no ill intentions towards her, even though It was a joke and a kindly tease.
"Well, it's pretty much the same, but will you be able to adapt to your marriage to the Han people?" Busia Mara asked, "Also, do you understand the meaning of your marriage to the Han people?"
Zhezhe was stunned, looked at Busia Mara, and slowly shook his head: "Brother and sister Dong, I don't quite understand."
Bushiyamala sighed and wanted to say something, but in the end it was reduced to one sentence: "I'm afraid you won't understand some of the words just from me. You can only understand them slowly after you arrive in Han Dynasty.
The group boarded the boat from Niuzhuang, returned to Dagu by water, and then transferred to the boat from Dagu back to Beijing.
Of course Busia Mara and Zhezhe stayed in Tianjin Wei.
Feng Ziying, Xue Biao, and Jia Huan's trip to Liaodong could be said to have been frozen for thousands of miles, but when they came back it was already the Indian Spring in March when the birds were singing and the swallows were dancing.
It had been four months since they had been there, and Feng Ziying was overwhelmed by the intense and heavy fighting.
It's not that I'm physically tired, but I'm worried.
From the hundreds of miles of attack by Mao Wenlong's tribe to the fierce battle between Zhao Lijiao and You Shilu and E Yidu and Fei Yingdong, to the fierce battle between Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong's tribe from the flanks against Hu'erhan tribe, to the end To regain control of the Tieling Acropolis and rescue the Juniper tribe, Feng Ziying spent all his energy on every battle and did not dare to slack off at all.
It can be said that this battle is a chain of links. As long as there is a slight mistake, it is not certain that the entire army will be defeated, but the Juniper Department is really likely to be destroyed.
Now the best result has been achieved. Tieling Acropolis has been saved. Although the Juniper Division suffered huge losses, they were able to rescue seven or eight thousand people, which is quite rare.
The most important thing is that it broke the strategic intention of the Jianzhou Jurchens and severely damaged the Jianzhou Jurchens. Feng Ziying believed that Nurhaci would only be able to slowly lick his wounds in a year or two. If he wanted to launch another war of this scale, it would probably not take more than three to five years. You can't do it with a year's rest.
However, Feng Ziying does not intend to give the Jianzhou Jurchens three to five years of rest and respite. The front line from Jiuliancheng to Pidao must be opened up as soon as possible. The Jianzhou Jurchens must not be allowed to rest and recuperate in peace, and they must also experience the blood loss behind their backs. taste.
Feng Ziying did not stay in Tianjin Guard this time, but returned directly to the capital city.
After four months of being there, everyone, both at the court and at home, was already looking forward to it.
Miaoyu and Xiuyan have both given birth. Miaoyu gave birth to a daughter, and Xiuyan gave birth to a son. Feng Ziying was also eager to go back and take a look. As for Tianjin Wei, they can come over at any time, but there is no rush at this moment.
**********
When I woke up, it was already dark.
Feng Ziying rubbed her sleepy eyes, which were still a little sleepy, and lay on the bed without wanting to get up.
The four-month battle was exhausting mentally and physically, and the follow-up arrangements were also painstaking. On the contrary, although the body was exhausted on the way back, the spirit was much more relaxed.
But he also knew that he would have to get involved in all kinds of complicated affairs once he came back.
Over in Huguang, Xiong Tingbi had officially put an end to the Bozhou Rebellion and Yang Yinglong and his son were executed. The Anshe family was at the end of its rope and was about to fall. The war in the southwest that had lasted for several years finally saw the light of an end.
The situation in Shanxi was a little more complicated. Yuan Keli fought smoothly there and basically controlled the situation in the north. After the fierce and fierce attacks in the early stage, Fengzhou Bailian and the Tumut people gradually fell into trouble. , was restricted to a smaller area, but the entire White Lotus Sect began to set off one after another rebellions in Shanxi. Although the scale was not too large, a single spark could start a prairie fire, and the situation in Shanxi was in a situation where the northern land was basically The situation in the south is still chaotic.
However, as the situation in the north gradually reversed, the Tumuts had lost their original momentum and began to gradually retreat. Fengzhou Bailian also intended to contact the Han believers of the White Lotus Sect in Shanxi to gather together for an uprising, but because Yuan Keli firmly held Fengzhou Bailian The main force was compressed in the north, while the guards from Shaanxi also achieved consecutive victories in the south, forcing the rebel troops from Shaanxi to be pressed into several corners. However, their strength still existed and they were still very destructive. .
