After Nurhachi and Shuerhaqi went down, Gao Jingshi remained seated and did not move. Two people came out from the back of the hall to pay their respects. Gao Jingshi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Please sit down."
The two people were none other than Han Guang and Cao Yu.
After the two of them sat down, Gao pragmatically asked: "Han Zhenshou and Cao Furong, what do you think of these two people?"
Han Guang had a higher status, so he was the first to answer: "The older one has ulterior motives, but the younger one didn't see anything."
Gao Qingshi was noncommittal and asked Cao Yu again. Cao Yu thought thoughtfully and said: "Whether he has ulterior motives or not, it's hard to say whether the general has ulterior motives. However, it is certain that he wants to preserve his strength and is not willing to serve."
Gao Jingshi smiled slightly and said: "The Jurchens attached themselves to me, but they are just greedy for profit. I hope they will think what I think and worry about what I worry about. This is just trying to make ends meet."
Cao Yu nodded and said with deep sympathy: "What Futai said is absolutely true. It is precisely because of this that the Ming Dynasty always insists on supporting the weak and attacking the strong in the Jurchen tribes..." When he said this, he suddenly realized something. Asked: "What Futai means is that the left guard of Jianzhou is too weak now?"
Gao pragmatically said: "The two guards on the left and right of Jianzhou have always been the two guards who have been called upon the most by the Ming Dynasty. However, there is constant discord between the two guards. One is always ebbing and the other is ebbing. This situation is both good and bad. Of course, it is not Unacceptable. However, the right guard of Jianzhou has been strong for many years before. Now the right guard has been hit repeatedly. After the death of Wang Gao and Atai and his son, there is no sign of revitalization for the time being, and our Ming Dynasty is temporarily short of available people. ...I think the Nurhachi brothers might as well be included in the review."
Cao Yan took this very openly and didn't have much opinion, but Han Guang was a little confused and asked: "If that's the case, what about Nikan Wailan? If you don't say goodbye, at least to me, Da Ming Still very obedient."
"It's good to be obedient, but even if you are a dog, you can't just be loyal. Not to mention hunting, you must at least have the ability to look after the house, right?" Gao Pragmatic said calmly: "I heard that Nurhachi only has more than twenty pairs of dogs. The armor can only be used by more than a hundred soldiers. If Nikan Wailan can't even withstand this, how can I believe that he can protect the Jurchens, or at least Jianzhou, for our Ming Dynasty?"
There is no doubt that Nikan Wailan cannot stand up to Nurhachi. Gao Pragmatic said this is nothing more than laying an ambush in advance.
Obviously Han Guang and Cao Yu didn't know this, so what Gao Pragmatic said made sense to them, especially Cao Yu, who immediately said: "Yes, if he is really a waste, why should we spend all the time to praise him?" ? It’s better to see if there is any use for this wild boar skin and small wild boar.”
When he mentioned this, Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but laugh.
Wild boar skin, small wild boar, I haven’t heard this name for a long time.
But speaking of it, at this time, it was actually very common for Jurchens to be named Boar Skin or Little Boar, just like the names of Han Chinese with dragon and tiger.
As for the ridicule of the two names by later people, it may be that one is serious dissatisfaction with many performances of the Tatars, and the other is that the images of wild boars and domestic pigs are somewhat confused.
In fact, wild boars and domestic pigs are two completely different creatures. The history of pigs can be traced back to 40 million years ago. Many pig bones were discovered at the Hemudu site, proving that our ancestors had already mastered pig breeding at that time. Therefore, it is generally accepted by historians that pigs were first domesticated in China.
Perhaps the biggest difference in the appearance of wild boars and domestic pigs is that the canine teeth are well developed. The upper canine teeth of males are exposed and turned upward to look like tusks. Wild boars are omnivores and will eat anything. When they are very hungry, they will eat tigers and leopards. Whether they can eat it and whether they eat it or not are two different things. Hunters in Liaodong have a saying in the industry, which is called "one bear, two pigs, three tigers". Tigers There is no doubt about the fighting ability of the tiger, but in order of difficulty of hunting, the tiger ranks third, and the wild boar is still ahead of it. You can imagine the specialness of the wild boar.
Wild boar is a symbol of bravery, which is a common understanding among many ethnic groups in Northeast Asia. Japan, North Korea, and South Korea also worship wild boars. In Hayao Miyazaki's "Princess Mononoke", wild boars are also one of the guardian spirits of the forest, so they are given to children. The name also means to hope that he will be brave and strong.
The reason why hunters say "one bear, two pigs and three tigers" is actually the main reason for the habits of wild boars. Wild boars like to rub against hard places such as rock stumps in order to wear their skin hard and get some mud and pine. Oil or the like can form a solid protective layer.
Gao Pragmatic Crossing had seen a news report before, saying that a wild boar suddenly appeared on a national highway in a certain place and slammed into a car. As a result, the car's bumper and the wild boar flew into the sky at the same time, but they waited until they fell. , the bumper broke into two pieces, the wild boar twisted its butt and snorted twice, turned around and disappeared into the forest.
Therefore, when an ordinary arrowhead used for hunting in the Cold Weapon Age was shot at a wild boar, it would be like hitting an iron shirt with a golden bell, clanking to the ground. Takeshi named Nurhaci after wild boar skin, possibly hoping that he would be strong enough to resist danger and be able to avert danger.
Looking at it this way, the name "Boar Skin" really has a lot of meanings. It is brave and strong, and it can save the day. It may seem inconspicuous but it contains a lot of simple wisdom.
But please note that this is not all. In fact, the main reason why Takshi gave Nurhachi this name should be this:
At this time, the Jurchens did not have their own language and characters. They usually used Mongolian and Chinese. They spoke Chinese and Mongolian, and Mongolian was the main language. Mongolian evolved from Uighur script, so Nurhaci The name of his father was based on Uighur script and Uighur language.
In this way, Nurhachi is a great name, because "Nur" means "light" in Uighur language; "Haci" (the same as Haqi) means "holy descendant" in Uighur language , also used as "Prince" and "Prince".
In other words, the full meaning of "Nurhachi" is "the saint of light" and "the prince of light", which is actually very high-end and classy.
In fact, at about the same period, there was also a person in the Ming Dynasty whose name had an interesting origin.
The incident happened in Fuqing, Fujian Province. A Lin family woman and several servants hurriedly avoided the Japanese pirates. If it weren't for the Japanese pirates' swords not recognizing people, how could Lin family have fallen to this stage due to her status as the prefect's wife? field?
Thinking of her husband, who was still a prefect in Guangxi, and looking at herself who was about to give birth, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but want to cry, but before crying, Mrs. Lin had to solve her physical problems first.
An ordinary person would have solved this situation on the spot. However, Mrs. Lin came from a scholarly family and had a distinguished status. She insisted on finding a toilet. After searching around, the group finally found an abandoned toilet.
Maybe Mrs. Lin later would be grateful to this abandoned toilet, not because it solved a physical problem, but because it was abandoned.
People will have an appetite when they see delicious food, and people who have been holding it in for a long time and want to go to the toilet will also have a desire to defecate. Mrs. Lin, who had been unable to hold back for a long time, suddenly exerted herself so hard that the baby in her belly "thumped" It came out all at once.
The family hurriedly fished the child out of the toilet. Fortunately, the toilet had not been used for a long time, otherwise the child would have drowned.
Since her husband was not around, it was obviously impossible to choose a name. Mrs. Lin saw that the child was born in the toilet, so she nicknamed the child "Toilet Boy". To be honest, this name really speaks for itself and implements the principles of Marxist philosophy.
Later, when the couple reunited, Ye Fuzun learned that the child was born in the toilet and fell into the pit. He probably felt that it was unlucky for the child to be born one head lower than others, so he had to climb higher - at least back to the horizon. no? In addition, Ye Fuzun also hoped that his child could inherit his father's legacy, enter the official career, and climb to the top, so he named him "Xiang Gao".
Yes, you guessed it right, this "toilet boy" is none other than Ye Xianggao.
These two fathers, one is in the northeast and the other is in the southeast, thousands of miles apart, but they are both experts in naming. In the original history, Nurhachi really had a bright future, and fulfilling it was almost every man's biggest dream; and Ye Xiang Gao Ye was promoted step by step, reaching the position of chief minister of the cabinet and boss of Donglin.
I just don’t know if things will change after this Ming Dynasty has a high level of pragmatism.
Nurhachi didn't feel any changes, because the next day, he received the most rewarding edict issued by Liaodong Fuyuan - there were actually many of these things in Fuyuan, which were prepared in advance.
Thirty edicts, plus ten horses, and the "expectations" of the commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard - this will have to wait for the emperor's decree.
The above is Gao Pragmatic's expression of "valuation" for Nurhaci.
Brothers Nurhachi and Shuerhaqi returned home happily, but what he didn't expect was that after bringing back the news that he was about to officially take over as the commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard, something happened at home.
He returned home and saw a house full of uncles and brothers. He vaguely felt that something was wrong.
When these people saw Nurhachi coming in, their faces were full of smiles, and they asked him about his welfare. While enthusiastically urging Nurhaci not to be too sad - they were talking about the deaths of Jue Changan and Takshi. Yes, after their deaths, these people This is the first time people come to see Nurhachi.
It is strange to say that the dead Jue Chang'an was their father and Tak Shi was their brother. They could still smile and persuade others not to be sad, and they were just like normal people.
After talking for a long time, Jue Changan's eldest son, Takshi's eldest brother, and Nurhachi's uncle, who was also the father of Atai's wife, named Li Dun, squatted aside for a long time and finally got to the point.
His meaning is very simple. Now that Jue Chang'an and Tak Shi have unfortunately died, Jianzhou Zuowei is leaderless. As a big family like us, we must unite together. Only by unity can we have strength. So, I originally didn't want to take care of these things, but the family is so chaotic and needs someone to take charge of the overall situation. You younger generation are young and immature, so I will "reluctantly" manage it temporarily.
Seeing his uncle looking upright and talking eloquently, while the brothers around him clapped their hands and cheered, and occasionally shouted slogans such as "Uncle is right" that were obviously wrong, Nurhaci silently watched their funny performance and smiled.
"Where were you when my ancestors and fathers were mediating between the Ming Dynasty and the Youwei in order to protect the Zuowei of Jianzhou? Your own daughter was trapped in Gule Village. Where was you, Lidun? Your own father and brothers were trapped in the Ming Dynasty. Military manslaughter, where were you? When I went to Yehe to ask for help, where were you? When I went to ask the governor of Liaodong to clear the name of my ancestor and father, where were you?
Now that I'm back, I see that the position of commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard is about to fall on me. Are you coming out at this time? I'm sorry, there is no such good thing in the world! The post of commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard was given to me by Gao Futai, and this cannot be changed. If you are not convinced, go and talk to Gao Futai yourself. "
Lidun's smiling face froze. He didn't expect Nurhachi to dare to say such a thing. He never expected it.
However, since the little boy refuses to eat and drink as a penalty for toasting, he should open the skylight and speak out: "Nurhaci, are you not letting your uncle be the commander of Jianzhou's left guard?"
Seeing that the matter has been exposed, he showed his prepared fangs. The Jurchen's acting skills still need to be improved.
Looking at Lidun, who looked like a kind elder just now, but now immediately showed a ferocious look on his face, Nurhachi didn't want to say another word to such people. In their eyes, they only have interests and themselves, and their relatives are only their own interests when necessary. Maximum sacrifice.
Nurhachi snorted coldly but did not answer.
Shuerhaqi was promised the position of commanding officer by Gao Pangshi, so he naturally stood beside his Ahun and looked at his uncles coldly.
Since you can't get what you want, there is no need to continue playing this scene. Lidun knew Nurhaci's attitude and walked out of the room first, followed by a large group of people. As soon as the group left, the room suddenly became empty.
Two days later, Nurhaci received news that Lidun and others found Nikan Wailan, swore allegiance to Nikan Wailan, and swore in public to help Nikan Wailan kill Nurhachi.
Nurhachi was speechless for a long time, but Shuerhaqi said: "Ah Hun doesn't need to worry about them, just wait for Gao Futai's arrangements."
Nurhaci nodded and said nothing.
Faced with betrayal and separation, Nurhaci, who held the title of "quasi-Jianzhou Left Guard Commander", seemed to be in a very bad situation. At this time, Nikan Wailan also asked someone to bring a message to Nurhaci, so that Nurhaci could understand the current situation and follow him in the future. If you mess around by yourself, for the sake of Takeshi, you will think highly of him.
Commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard, Minister of Sukosahu Department, this is the title of Nurhachi, but the former one is recognized by the Ming Dynasty - to be precise, it can only be recognized by Gao Futai for the time being, and the latter one is recognized by the Jurchens internally ; To say which of the two is more important, theoretically speaking, it is the Commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard, but this is just an empty title, and the latter one is the hard power.
Only when he has several villages under his command, manpower and troops, and becomes the leader of a department, will the Ming Dynasty win over the officials. The commander of the left guard in Jianzhou is based on the minister Suksahu.
Even if Gao Futai showed "friendliness" to him, Nurhaci did not dare to place all his hopes on Gao Futai's "friendliness". After all, Gao Futai did not know that he could not even deal with his own family.
He once again called for his brother Shuerhaqi, and the two began to discuss countermeasures.

Thanks to book friends "lichzeta" and "Luciferu" for their monthly support, thank you!
PS: I have returned to Changsha. Recently, due to the Chinese New Year and being sick with a cold for a few weeks, I always feel that my writing in the past few days has been a bit "scattered". Tomorrow I will see if I can take the time to sort out my thoughts and connect the previous ones to straighten them out.
Nurhaci’s role in the next period of time is slightly sufficient, but this period of time will not be very long. The main reason is that I feel that everyone may not know much about Nurhaci’s early story. It is a relatively blank and convenient place to write ink. I will roughly follow It is written with sixty-seven points of historical facts and three or four points of changes (due to the influence of high pragmatism). This plot only has less than 100 words in my outline, which is quite challenging~~
