When Dege entered the Mongolian camp, he met what the Ming woman called "another enemy."
He Zhuo walked up with arms folded and said coldly: "I hope the Ming Dynasty will also split your body in half, keep half in their capital, and send the other half back to Hetuala, just like you did to Buzhai back then."
These fluent and cruel Jurchen words made Degerei realize that the person in front of him should be from the Yehe tribe.
By the way, Su Tai from the Yehe tribe is married to Lin Danhan. This woman is probably Su Tai's confidant.
A hint of slyness and narrow-mindedness flashed in Dege's eyes.
"Women of the Ye He tribe, your hatred should be directed at the people of the Ming Dynasty. Kaiyuan Fortress is on the road we must pass from Jianzhou to attack you, Ye He, but..."
General Dege nuzzled his chin towards Ma Xianglin, and his sarcasm became more intense: "But the Ming Dynasty is in Liaodong, and there are many such fierce generals, but they are unwilling to lead troops to assist you."
He Zhuo's expression changed slightly.
Zheng Haizhu, standing next to He Zhuo, although she could not speak or understand the complex Jurchen dialect, she had been with Aya for a long time, and she understood the words "Mingguo", "General" and "General" in the Jurchen dialect. Words like "military fort" and "attack" were still familiar to me. At this moment, I could somewhat guess Dege's intention to sow discord.
What Degelei said was actually where Zheng Haizhu became angry with the Ming court.
Yehe Jurchen's military position in Liaodong is very important. This powerful tribe, located to the north of the Ming Dynasty and to the east of Mongolia, could have been at the horns of Liaodong Town of the Ming Dynasty, curbing Nurhachi's Jianzhou Jurchens, and at the same time preventing Jianzhou from connecting to various parts of Mongolia.
Many years ago, Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, was good at using the "restraint" strategy, first supporting the Huifa tribe and then the Yehe tribe, with the purpose of holding back the increasingly powerful Jianzhou Nurhaci tribe.
In the original history, due to the successive defeats of Fushun and Sarhu, the Ming army in Liaodong was defeated. Nurhachi took the opportunity to go north and annexed the Yehe tribe.
However, in this world, Fushun was saved, and the Battle of Sarhu did not occur. Zheng Haizhu believed that the Liaodong Army would support Ye He's tribe from Kaiyuan, Tieling and other places as it did during the Li Chengliang period.
When she left Liaoyang, she specifically mentioned to Zhang Chengyin, the commander-in-chief, that Nurhaci would attack the old city of Yehe if he failed to conquer the Ming Dynasty, and would unify all the Jurchen tribes under his command.
Unexpectedly, in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, Zheng Haizhu and Yan Siqi returned to Songjiang after defeating the Dutch. Huang Zunsu said that Ye He's tribe was actually defeated by Nurhaci. If we ask more carefully why the Ming army did not send troops to rescue, it turns out that it is due to lack of pay.
What can I say to this court? The only thought is to vomit blood.
At this time, Dege completed a challenge between trapped beasts and hunters. With pride, he looked at He Zhuo and then Zheng Haizhu.
Zheng Haizhu thought to himself, even though this little Tatar has been fooled, he is a bit of a novice in fighting with swords and guns, but he still has some cunning and quick wits that are good at alienating people.
However, Zheng Haizhu will not immediately retaliate against Dege. The camp is not a battlefield, and the person doing the talking is He Zhuo.
He Zhuo was the one she wanted to unite with. She couldn't act like she wanted to speak in front of a group of men, which would erase He Zhuo's authority.
As soon as He Zhuo withdrew his knife-like gaze, the Mongolian Unger came up and said to He Zhuo in Mongolian: "You are not going to kill this little Belle from Jianzhou, are you? Leave him to the people of the Ming Dynasty, but Dun (Referring to Dafu Jin Sutai) If you are blamed, I will speak for you."
The Chahar Tribe of Mongolia and the Jianzhou Jurchens were only in open conflict and had no deep-seated resentment. Even though Unger was a loser, he also knew that the Chahar tribe had no need to form a feud with Nurhachi to kill his son just because the Yehe woman wanted to vent his anger.
He Zhuo narrowed his eyes, nodded in agreement, and translated Unger's Mongolian words to Zheng Haizhu and Ma Xianglin.
Zheng Haizhu said respectfully: "Thanks to Anger Taiji and Sister Kedun, we will take these Jianzhou people into the pass and send them to the capital to present them to our emperor. Outside the Meridian Gate of the Grand Palace, There may be a prisoner sacrifice ceremony to teach the world that Beile, the Jurchen prince of Jianzhou, is not some three-headed and six-armed god, and will still be captured by Ming generals and Mongolian warriors."
She deliberately spoke slowly, and when she came to the words about offering prisoners, she looked at Derge with interest.
Dege still maintained his arrogance on the surface, but his eyes fell on the snow. He didn't want to look at this Ming Dynasty woman again.
Ma Xianglin stepped forward and said to He Zhuo: "Mother Ke Dun, this place is less than a hundred miles away from our Xifengkou in Damingji Town. I thought that the mission would continue to camp, so we should not go north first to avoid obstruction. We ran into the main force of Mang Gurtai's troops. Please send two light cavalry to report to Chahanhot as soon as possible. When your supporting team reaches the Luanhe area, I will also lead more than a thousand men and horses to strengthen the escort. How about leaving again?"
He Zhuo thought about it and thought it made sense. Judging from the combat strength and supplies of this Ming army, if your team is closer to the Ming army's border wall, you can hide in it at any time.
He Zhuo and Unger relayed Ma Xianglin's suggestion, and Unger, who didn't want to take any risks, agreed.
…
"Snapped!"
The pottery glazed teacup fell on the frozen hard mud floor, and the black tea splash rolled to the corner of the felt tent.
He Zhuo stared at Zheng Haizhu, who was still holding the teapot in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "I really want to throw this hot tea soup on your face. You cunning and bad woman!"
There was a lot of noise outside the tent, and far and near inside and outside the camp, the men either continued to clean up the battlefield, collect baggage and living horses, or began to cut up the limbs of dead horses and roast them to replenish the energy consumed in the battle.
But there were only He Zhuo and Zheng Haizhu in the tent. The two guards were screened out.
After He Zhuo cursed bitterly, he saw Zheng Haizhu lowering his eyes, put down the teapot, smoothed down his sheepskin robe, and sat down opposite He Zhuo.
"You must be very proud," He Zhuo continued bitterly, "You are not your emperor's minister or Dafujin, but you can make these brave men listen to your orders, and you can also fool me and Mongolian Taiji. We are used as bait! A person as stupid as Unger understands that this is a trick you have planned in advance!"
Zheng Haizhu said calmly: "The caravan transformed into artillery and a lot of honey for healing wounds. This was all obvious afterwards. No matter how we made it up, we couldn't get it right. He Zhuo, when the fight started, I didn't shy away from it. However, I know that the invading Jurchen soldiers are Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers. Besides, Unger Taiji is not only not stupid, but also very wise. After today's war, he even took General Ma and General Man to have a drink, so it's not But he didn’t fall out when he saw through it, and he had a long-term plan.”
He Zhuo heard this and glanced at the woman opposite.
"He's so smart, I'm the one who comforted him."
Zheng Haizhu showed a faint smile.
"That would be even better. There are so many smart people in Chahar. He Zhuo, let me guess, did you tell the noble Taiji that the Ming army is so powerful, we Chahar should treat them as brothers? Let’s make an alliance to deal with the Jianzhou people together.”
He Zhuo looked away, his agitated heart unable to subside for a while.
The emotions this female fox from Ming Dynasty brought to her in just over half a month were too complicated.
Vigilance, curiosity, ups and downs of envy, vague jealousy, anger and unwillingness after discovering that he was being used, and secret admiration that he was indeed inferior to others.
There are all kinds of mixed feelings, but it seems that there is no contempt and contempt.
He Zhuo felt that venting a few words directly to the other party was the simplest and most effective way for him to relieve his frustration.
Anyway, the woman in front of me still wants something from the Chahar tribe.
The two just sat facing each other in silence.
Suddenly the voice of Jin Yiwei came from outside the tent: "Is Madam okay?"
"Your wife is panting. Go back and tell your general. I won't eat her."
He Zhuo said loudly.
"I'm discussing with Grandma Ke Dun, please don't bother me again." Zheng Haizhu continued He Zhuo's words.
"Yes, ma'am, this subordinate deserves to die."
After the tent became quiet again, Zheng Haizhu felt He Zhuo's aura and gradually calmed down. Then he slowly said: "He Zhuo, in the words of our Ming Dynasty, you are not an idle person. I am in Xunzhen. , I didn’t know how happy I was when I found out that you were not a Mongolian, but a Yehe Jurchen, the most important helper of Su Tai Dafujin. However, even if it is not you who comes to receive the silver reward this time, I will I will be sent as an envoy to Chahar until I see the great blessing Jin Sutai."
He Zhuo snorted.
"As for the ambush of the Zhenglan Banner headquarters," Zheng Haizhu poured himself a cup of hot black tea, took a sip, and continued to brush the female leopard, Ye He Jurchen, "He Zhuo, what is the bait? The hunter can sacrifice the bait. Something to give to wild beasts, but this time, we Ming people just borrowed the news of the Mongolian mission. In fact, from the time when the sentinels reported the secret to the war between the two armies, at which time did we Ming people put you in danger? ?”
"Yes, you Ming people are smart and brave. We Jurchens and Mongols are no match." He Zhuo said coldly.
Zheng Haizhu grabbed a new tea cup, filled it with tea, placed it in front of He Zhuo, and said with self-mockery: "We Ming people also have times when we are confused, such as today. Dege Lei was right. Last year, the state was established. How could the Ming Dynasty not send troops to attack the old city of Ye He!"
