Chapter 2641 The Gui Zi Juan is at the end of its road, the tree falls and the monkeys scatter
Nurhaci was half lying on the bed, his face was sallow, and there was an apricot-yellow ribbon tied around his forehead, which made him even more frail.
"There are already many people from the Varka and Hurha tribes on the Algan Mountain side. I'm afraid there are countless people watching us along the way. Dazhou has offered a huge bonus, haha, I didn’t expect that I, Nurhachi, is actually worth one hundred thousand silver, should I tie myself up and come to the house on my own initiative?”
After saying these few words, Nurhachi's face turned a little flushed, and his breathing became a little rapid.
Everyone in the tent was silent.
Da Zhou's move is very sinister. Twenty taels of silver is a lot of wealth for any Jurchen from the East China Sea. Moreover, if he kills an officer by luck, there is a chance of doubling or even doubling it several times. Who can Can you bear it?
This journey along the way is all the terrain that the East China Sea Jurchens are most familiar with. If you are alone, you may encounter a vicious attack, and even a small group of people may be attacked by the opponent.
It is said that not only the Jurchens of the East China Sea, but also some tribes on the grassland began to swarm here after getting the news, running thousands of miles from the grassland to the west, hoping to catch Nurhaci who was at the end of his life, or if he could not. Living in Nurhaci and capturing Fei Yingdong or other sons of Nurhaci would also be very rewarding.
There are even rumors outside that the reward for capturing Abahai is 20,000 yuan. Because Governor Xiao Feng fell in love with Abahai, the price was doubled, and each of the three sons Abahai gave birth to was Nurhachi. They are all worth 5,000 to 10,000, which is another 20,000 taels, which means that Abahai can be regarded as the most valuable head among the Jurchens in Jianzhou, second only to Nurhachi.
Some small tribes on the grassland, although they nominally belong to Nekarkha, Horqin or Chahar, in fact they are very weakly restrained. When they can no longer live, they turn into horse bandits. , anyone dares to rob, and anyone dares to kill. Now that Zhou has offered such good conditions, and the target is the Jianzhou Jurchen who is in desperate situation, of course these people will not let it go.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Nurhaci felt dizzy for a while, breathed and gritted his teeth and asked: "Chu Ying is here? Who else is there?"
There was another suffocating depression in the tent, and no one dared to speak.
Nurhaci finally cast his eyes on He Heli, who had been lowering his head: "He Heli, are you going to hide it from me too?"
"Great Khan, in addition to Chu Ying, there are also Amin and Zasaktu." He Heli couldn't stand Nurhachi's gaze and said.
Some people who didn't know the situation looked at He Heli, Amin and Zasaktu? Shuerhaqi's son? Are they back too? !
What did they do when they came back?
The purpose is self-explanatory. He came back with Chu Ying.
Nurhaci gritted his teeth, but his whole body had no strength, and even speaking was extremely difficult.
Next to him, Huang Taiji was busy helping Nurhachi up and glared at He Heli. Obviously, He Heli did not inform him of the situation.
He Heli looked bitter, so what if he told Huang Taiji? So what if you know?
The Great Khan's current physical condition is like this. Chu Ying, Dai Shan and Mang Gurtai were captured, but now only Chu Ying is back. Everyone understands what is going on. An Fei Yanggu and Fei Yingdong both remain silent. He pretended not to know, Hu Erhan, a fierce character, now also bowed his head and remained silent.
"Okay, okay, Chu Ying, this treacherous son, and the two remnants of Shuerhaqi, now they dare to come back in a big way? He Heli, why don't you behead them in public?" Nurhachi coughed violently, and the coughing was heartbreaking. His lungs were cracked, his face turned red, and he was sweating profusely.
Behead? Can it be done? An Feiyanggu, Fei Yingdong and Hu Erhan were non-committal and obviously did not agree with this. Moreover, they have not yet allowed Chu Ying, Amin and Zasaktu to come in because they are afraid that something unpredictable will happen. What needs to be considered now is The fate of the more than 20,000 Jianzhou Jurchens is a matter of future destiny, not a matter of temporary impulsiveness.
"He Heli, the Great Khan asked you, why haven't these rebels been beheaded?" Huang Taiji asked with eyes wide open.
"Great Khan, Chu Ying and the others haven't entered the camp yet and are still outside the camp." He Heli sighed softly. He was just afraid that Chu Ying would come in. If the Great Khan insisted on killing Chu Ying, he was afraid that it would immediately cause rebellion. The state is divided. Which side will Fei Yingdong, Anfei Yanggu and Hu Erhan choose? What about yourself?
“Oh?” Nurhaci closed his eyes, took a short rest, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, “He doesn’t dare to come in?”
"No, I didn't agree for him to come in. Dahan is in poor health and I don't want him to come in." He Heli replied calmly: "They also meant the same."
Nurhachi no longer has that much energy to think too much. He can slightly imagine what An Feiyanggu and Fei Yingdong are thinking, but the problem is that Chu Ying came to cut off the roots of Jianzhou Jurchen, and they don't understand.
"Don't let him in?" Nurhachi stared at He Heli, letting himself breathe a little more, and then asked quietly: "What do you think?"
Seeing that He Heli did not answer him, Nurhachi turned his eyes, glanced at the faces of Fei Yingdong, An Feiyanggu and Hu Erhan, and continued to ask: "What do you think?"
The silence was so oppressive that one could hardly breathe. It seemed like one could hear a pin drop in the room.
Before anyone could say anything, there was already a burst of chaotic shouting outside. Nurhaci felt that his eyes were in a trance. He tried his best to steady himself, pursed his lips and raised his fingers tremblingly: "What's going on outside? ?”
He Heli and the others didn't know what was going on. Abai and Tang Gugu had already rushed out, but soon they heard a clear voice coming in, "What are you going to do? Stop me outside, don't let me Am I going to do something wrong when I see the Great Khan?"
The people in the big tent all looked ugly, but they were hard-pressed to say anything.
Nurhachi also heard whose voice it was, and his face flushed slightly. He wanted to say something, but thinking about his current physical condition, he couldn't help but sigh, "Let her in, I'm not dead yet."
A tall and heroic woman walked in holding a baby in her hand, holding an eleven or twelve-year-old child in one hand, and the child holding a three- or four-year-old child in the other hand.
She has an oval face, slender eyebrows, pupils like deep pools, a high nose bridge, and plump lips like fire. Her ink-dyed blue silk hair is combed into a graceful palace-style double-ring high bun. She is wearing a gorgeous Jurchen robe that vividly outlines her graceful figure. .
“I’ve seen the Great Khan.” The woman came in, saluted, and then walked directly to the Great Khan, replacing Huang Taiji who looked unhappy.
"Abahai, what are you doing here?" Nurhaci said calmly with a cold look.
"Great Khan, how can I not come here to decide the fate of our Jianzhou clan? Azig, Dorgon, and Duduo are also your sons. Although they are still young, I, as their Mother, you should also be qualified to listen. I heard that Chu Ying is already outside the camp, and Shuerhaqi's sons are also here. What do they want to do?"
Abahai made no secret of her worries and ambitions. When she heard rumors from the outside world that Governor Xiao Feng of Great Zhou offered 20,000 taels to capture her, she was even a little proud, but she was soon betrayed by a few of her. The son was also frightened by the bounty of life and death.
There are also some rumors that as long as the Jianzhou Jurchens voluntarily surrender, the Great Zhou Dynasty may re-establish Jianzhou Left Guards and Jianzhou Right Guards. According to the original model of Li Chengliang’s era, Jianzhou Jurchens can still live on their original territory. Jianzhou Left Guards Like the commander of Jianzhou Youwei, it can be inherited by the Tong (Aixinjuele) family. It is hereditary and can be replaced by the Great Zhou Yongzhen in Eastern Xinjiang.
It is said that Shuerhaqi's sons are competing for the position of commander of the right guard of Jianzhou, and who will win the position of commander of the left guard of Jianzhou is the focus of attention of the sons of the Great Khan.
Naturally, no one dared to let Nurhaci hear these rumors within the Jianzhou Army. In fact, He Heli and the others had heard it a long time ago. There were also people from Chu Ying and Shuerhaqi’s original subordinates within the Jianzhou Army. Now Dashu Although they have not fallen, the hozens are already panicking and looking for a way out.
Although it is just a rumor, it is somewhat credible. For example, it turns out that Shuerhaqi once had the official title of Commander of the Jianzhou Right Guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, Shuerhaqi was later killed by the Great Khan, and the Jianzhou Right Guards also It disappeared, but now times have changed and the situation has been reversed. There is no doubt about the rule of Zhou Dynasty over Liaodong, and it has become possible to establish the left and right guards of Jianzhou.
Nurhachi also didn't quite understand what Abahai wanted to do when she jumped out at this time. Her tone didn't sound like she was going to do anything, but what did she mean by coming out now? Could she still lead a group of people to fight a war? Come by blood? absurd.
Nurhaci still didn't understand that his subordinates' anger had dissipated long ago. Regarding the East China Sea Jurchen who had turned against him before, the Zhou Dynasty's pursuers behind him, and the Mongolian and Hercynian Jurchen who kept coming out to take a bite to get the silver reward, No one is still confident that they can escape. Everyone, including He Heli, has to face the reality of how to survive decently.
Abahai's sudden intervention made the atmosphere in the big tent a little looser, especially when he asked about the purpose of Chu Ying, Amin and Zasaktu's arrival, and finally made Nurhaci realize something, especially in Everyone remained in this strange silence.
After a period of heart palpitations, Nurhaci felt that his sweating had wet his underwear. Although it was freezing and snowy outside, the blazing brazier in the big tent made him feel particularly depressed and uncomfortable. He wanted to speak, but he felt empty-headed, as if he couldn't catch his breath. .
