Chapter 639 The turning point in Ye Hebu’s fate
“Brother, I heard that Li Chengliang is really sick this time. The Zhou court has allowed him to become an official, but his sons are still in Liaodong.” The woman looked at her brother.
Having been in the capital city for so long, Busia Mara has somewhat understood some of the internal affairs of the Zhou Dynasty.
In the past, the people who hated Li Chengliang the most were none other than the four Haixi tribes, including the Yehe tribe, the Ula tribe, the Huifa tribe and the Hada tribe. If Li Chengliang had not spared no effort to support Nurhachi, how could the Jianzhou Jurchens be able to do so? Starting from a few pieces of tattered armor, you ended up where you are today?
Now that the Huifa and Hada tribes have long been wiped out, they have become the Jianzhou Jurchen's meal. The Ula tribe is suffering from the Jianzhou Jurchen's crazy attack and is crumbling.
Of course, Ye Hebu also understands the principle of losing one's lips and teeth, but Ye Hebu does not dare to easily rescue Wula.
If you have a map, you can see that with the destruction of the Huifa and Hada tribes, the Jianzhou Jurchens have firmly controlled the key areas along the entire Songhua River bend, posing a huge threat to the Yehe tribe.
Now the Yehe tribe is no longer able to deal with the Jianzhou Jurchen threat alone, and since the Nine Tribes War more than ten years ago, the Horqin people have completely withdrawn from the alliance with the Haixi tribes and began to remain neutral. And now it is said that Nurhachi has begun to send envoys to Horqin to make good friends with the Horqin Zhubeile. This is what worries the Yehe tribe the most.
Once the Horqin tribe changes its attitude and moves closer to the Jianzhou Jurchens, the Yehe tribe will really be attacked from both sides and will have only one way to perish.
But in the past, no matter how Ye He and Ula complained to the Liaodong Town of Dazhou, which was supposed to be the arbiter of this area, all they got was silence, which also made Ye He and Ula extremely desperate.
It wasn't until a few months ago that Jin Taishi and Buyanggu learned from an accidental businessman that Li Chengliang, the governor of Jiliao and the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town, was ill and could not see anything, did they see a glimmer of light.
Without Li Chengliang, there would be no Jianzhou Jurchen today. This is the unanimous view of those in charge of the four Haixi tribes. It is a pity that there are only two of the four Haixi tribes left, but it is not too late.
So they did not hesitate to risk their lives to sneak into the territory of Dazhou and came to the capital city of Dazhou, hoping to find support and help here.
"Well, that's exactly why we are here. Although Li Chengliang is no longer here, his sons still have great influence in Liaodong. Now the Great Zhou Dynasty has not appointed a new Governor of Jiliao and the Commander-in-Chief of Liaodong Town. We We need to find out who the next governor of the Zhou Dynasty will be, what kind of person he is, and what his attitude is towards Jianzhou Jurchen..."
Buyangu sighed softly. In fact, he also knew very well that the current Great Zhou Dynasty probably did not have much ability to take many measures against the arrogant Jianzhou Jurchens. Even Great Zhou was aware of the ambitions and dangers of the Jianzhou Jurchens. .
It is said that the Great Zhou Dynasty fought a big war just last year because of the border rebellion in the west. Even the right wing of Mongolia was involved. The Great Zhou Dynasty was also damaged in this battle. There are more people like the Great Zhou Dynasty on the Liaodong side. As the officials and military generals said, it needs to be calmed down.
But Da Zhou could calm it down, but how could Ye He’s tribe calm it down? Can the Ula tribe calm it down?
The result of calming down the Jianzhou Jurchens is that they cannibalize the Jurchens step by step. After the Ula tribe is solved, it will be the turn of the Yehe tribe. Maybe this will happen within three to five years.
Ye He's tribe cannot sit still and wait for death. This is the unanimous view of the adults in the ministry.
Naturally, the Mongols have nothing to rely on. The Yehe tribe has nothing to offer the Horqin people. Between the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Yehe tribe, the Horqin people will only choose the Jianzhou Jurchens who are in full swing, and the Lindan Batu of Chahar. I am still a child whose hair is not fully grown, and my only support is Da Zhou.
“Brother, can the fate of our Yehe tribe only be tied to Dazhou?” Bushiya Mara couldn’t help but said, holding a shiny black full-moon scimitar in her hand and gently stroking it.
“Either surrender to Nurhaci, our father-killing enemy, and let the Yehe tribe become history and become part of the Jianzhou Jurchens, or we can only rely on Dazhou...” Buyangu looked at his sister.
From the evil merchants of the Hada tribe to Buzhantai of the Ula tribe, to Menggebulu of the Hada tribe and Baiyindali of the Huifa tribe, almost everyone who was engaged to her met with bad luck.
"I will never marry the enemy who killed my father. Yehe tribe will never lose to Jianzhou Jurchen!" Bushiya Mara said every word.
Buyangu shook his head. No one wants to lose, let alone perish. This is the case for the Hada tribe, the Huifa tribe, and the Ula tribe. But the Hada tribe and the Huifa tribe have become history, the Ula tribe is about to become history, and the Yehe tribe is again. Why can't we become part of history?
Just because the shaman in the tribe said that his sister "can make the world prosperous or destroy it"?
Seeing her brother looking at her intently, a little strange, Busiyamala pursed her lips and said, "What's wrong, brother, am I wrong?"
"No, Busiya Mara, you are right. Maybe the Yehe tribe will disappear, but it should not disappear in the hands of the Jianzhou Jurchens!" Buyangu also said in a deep voice: "So we must ask the Great Zhou Dynasty to support and shelter."
"But brother, didn't you say that the Zhou Dynasty is now too full of ambition and power? They have civil strife in the west and are at odds with the Mongols. How can they still have the energy to deal with Liaodong?" Bushiya Mara was a little confused. The husky voice has a special magic.
“At this moment, Li Chengliang’s thoughts may not be the thoughts of the next governor of Jiliao. The Great Zhou Dynasty is so powerful, even if they only give us and the Ula tribe a little support, the establishment of the state will not be as easy as before.”
While the two were talking, a sturdy young man came into the house with several people, "Buyangu, Buyangu!"
“Delgrad, what’s wrong?”
The visitor is Buyangu's cousin, Dergel, the son of Buyangu's uncle Jintaishi, a strong man with a wide face and thin eyebrows.
“I’ve heard about it, I’ve heard about it. It’s said that the Zhou court is going to appoint a military general named Feng Tang as the governor of Jiliao...”
“Feng Tang? Where are you from and what are you doing now?”
"I heard that he is from Datong. He is now the commander-in-chief of Yulin. He was the one who put down the rebellion in the west of the Zhou Dynasty last year. The imperial court of Zhou Dynasty intends to make him the governor of Jiliao." Delgrad also raised his eyebrows as soon as he entered the room. After drinking a full bowl of water, he wiped the water stains under his chin, and then continued: "I found out about it from someone from the Shanshan Guild Hall."
Merchants from Shanshan Guild Hall also have trading stations in Liaodong, including the Ye He tribe. These merchants also come every year to collect cattle and horses, leather, gold sand, and medicinal materials, and bring salt, ironware, cotton cloth, and some porcelain and silk, but not porcelain. Neither silk nor silk are urgently needed by the Ye He tribe. Ironware and salt blocks are the most important, followed by cotton cloth.
Buyangu was greatly disappointed, which meant that the incoming governor of Jiliao was still in Yulin. Of course he knew where Yulin was. It was thousands of miles away to the west and he could not see it now.
“Delgler, are you saying that this is still only a possibility and that Feng Tang has not been officially appointed?”
Delgrad nodded, "I heard that the Great Zhou Dynasty had not selected a suitable person after Li Chengliang quit. Some people were unwilling to go, and some wanted to go but were not qualified. It is said that General Feng was originally going to He was appointed as the governor of the three borders, well, he was the governor of the western border of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Later, he was planned to go to Liaodong..."
"This man is still in Yulin now. Brother, we can't go to Yulin. Do we have to wait for him in the capital city? I don't know how long we will have to wait." Bushiyamala looked at her brother.
Buyangu is also having a hard time making a choice.
It is undoubtedly too uncomfortable to continue staying in the capital city, because they don’t know when General Feng will come to the capital city to accept his appointment. Maybe one month, maybe three months. They can’t wait here for several months.
But it is unrealistic to go to Yulin. They are thousands of miles away and unfamiliar with the place. They are not even from the Zhou Dynasty. They originally came to the capital city to do business with the Zhou merchants. Now they will definitely have a lot of trouble going to Yulin.
“Buyangu, I got another news, that is, General Feng Tang’s home is in the capital city. He has a son who is very good. He is a famous scholar in the Zhou Dynasty and has the trust of the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty..."
Delgel’s words made Buyangu frown, “Delgel, what do you want to say?”
"I mean, maybe we can go see General Feng's son, get some news from him, and see their attitude." Delgrad looked rough, but he was very considerate.
"Then General Feng's son is just an ordinary scholar. Well, even if he is good at reading, he can be valued by the Emperor of Zhou?" Buyangu didn't believe that there was such a thing. What kind of status was the Emperor of Zhou? How could you trust an ordinary scholar so much?
"The businessman didn't say anything about this. He only said that Mr. Feng seemed to be an official of their highest university in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It's unclear what he does specifically."
This was already difficult for Delgrad. As soon as he got the news, he hurried back. He didn't expect that his cousin would ask such detailed questions.
"Then go and ask! It doesn't matter if you spend more gold. Anyway, we are here. How can we take these things back?" Buyangu waved his hand, "If he is really a scholar who is trusted by the Emperor of Zhou , and they are still officials, which means that the Feng family and his son are not simple. Maybe the fate of our Ye He tribe will have a chance to change, and then everything will be worth it!"
