  Chapter 1038 The Historic Meeting in Jizijuan (3)

   This question caught Zai Sai and made it difficult for Zai Sai to answer. It was not too complicated or difficult, but too simple.

  How did Jianzhou Jurchen expand and rise? Is there any reason to ask?

It wasn't that Dazhou granted Nurhachi the commander of the left guard of Jianzhou, so that Nurhachi obtained a righteous name and could order the other Jurchen ministries of Jianzhou to gradually unify the eight Jurchen ministries of Jianzhou. Did Nurhachi, the commander of the guards, make the Jianzhou Jurchens grow rapidly?

Especially when Li Chengliang was the first commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town, Nurhachi flattered Li Chengliang in every possible way, which made Da Zhou open the door to Jianzhou Jurchen in all aspects, from the smuggling of iron materials, cloth, grain, weapons and armor, They all turn a blind eye and close their eyes, or even simply let it go.

  Even some Han refugees fled to the Jianzhou Jurchen territory, Da Zhou also pursued it half-truths and half-falsely, and didn't care too much. If you change the Haixi Jurchen ministries, would you try it?

It was also in this era that the Shanshan-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce established a very close interest relationship with the Jianzhou Jurchen, which made the relationship between the Jianzhou Jurchen and the Great Zhou even closer, and also made it easier for the Jianzhou Jurchen to obtain what they wanted. everything.

It can be said that the rise of Jianzhou Jurchen is certainly due to the hard work of Nurhachi and others, but the greater reason is because of Da Zhou's indulgence and support, because Da Zhou needed a thug in Liaodong at that time, but he did not expect that this thug suddenly had his own Thoughts, and Da Zhou failed to control the rhythm and scale very well, which led to today's situation of breeding tigers.

   In a word, Da Zhou played poorly in the Jianzhou Jurchen game, which turned the chess pieces into chess players. Now he can also wrestle with Da Zhou, the master, in a decent way in the busy corner of Liaodong.

Zai Sai's gaze and Feng Ziying's gaze met in the air, and he noticed the indifference and indifference in Feng Ziying's gaze, as if he didn't care much about such a thing that was originally Da Zhou's scar, which made him both surprised and puzzled , but there are some unspeakable feelings deep in my heart.

  Zai Sai felt that although the opponent attached importance to the threat of the Jianzhou Jurchen, he was not afraid of it. This was obviously different from all the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou that he knew were afraid of the Jianzhou Jurchen.

"Master Feng, I think Master Feng and I have the answer to this question in our hearts. Well, it may be basically the same. Jianzhou Jurchen has produced some talents over the years. Nurhachi and his sons are not bad. (Haixi Jurchen) The leader is too stupid, Busia Mara, I am not referring to Buzhai and Jintaishi, but the performance of the leaders of the Huifa, Hada, and Ula tribes is indeed not qualified, so they are given It is an opportunity for Jianzhou Jurchen to annex the Haixi Jurchen tribes and strengthen itself."

Zaisai gave the dissatisfied Busia Mara an apologetic look, and continued to say: "To be precise, the pure Jianzhou Jurchen Eighth Division is not much better than the Nekhalka Five Division, but the Eleventh Jurchen Years ago, after Nurhachi annexed the Hada tribe, the former overlord of Hulun's four tribes, his strength doubled directly, and even I felt jealous."

"...That's all. I didn't expect that four years ago, Li Chengliang would actually give up the Six Forts of Kuandian, which he had worked so hard to build, to the Jianzhou Jurchen. I simply don't understand the importance of the Six Forts of Kuandian. Didn’t the court of the Great Zhou understand? Li Chengliang, the chief soldier of Liaodong Town, dared to settle such a big matter with one word? For Nurhachi, this is a treasure that cannot be exchanged for millions of gold. You can see it at a glance on the map What does it mean for the Six Forts of Kuandian to fall into the hands of Jianzhou Jurchen..."

  Zai Sai's unceremonious words made Feng Ziying feel hot.

The reasons for this are more complicated. The fundamental factor is the lack of support from the imperial court for Liaodong in terms of food and payment and other logistics. In addition, Li Chengliang himself is old and has become a little slack in these matters. That's why this disaster happened.

"Obtaining the Six Forts of Kuandian, the strategic depth of the Jianzhou Jurchens has greatly increased, and the door to external expansion has been opened even wider, so the annexation of the Huifa Department has become a matter of course. I simply don't understand what your Great Zhou court and Li Chengliang are thinking. What, turn a blind eye to Jianzhou Jurchen's behavior that obviously poses a huge threat to your Dazhou Liaodong Town. Since your Dazhou ignores it, then Nurhachi will definitely continue his plan of conquest. Naturally, the Ula and Yehe tribes If you can't escape,..."

  When talking about this point, Busia Mara looked complicated, as if recalling the situation of the year before last.

"At this time, you Dazhou seem to have just woken up like a dream. It's a pity that the Huifa Department has long been swallowed by the Jianzhou Jurchen, and the Wula Department has also been swallowed by the Jianzhou Jurchen. Bu Zhantai is still alive. Master Feng, if it weren't for you My father made a decisive move. I am afraid that Bu Zhantai has become a prisoner of Nurhachi, right? But it is too late for me to say, the strength of the Yehe tribe is far from enough to contain the Jianzhou Jurchen. If I am Nurhachi, use this time to let us If the Mongols send troops to your Great Zhou, they will be able to completely eliminate the Ula and Yehe tribes!"

   "Zai Sai, you are too crazy!" Busia Mara was full of anger and couldn't help scolding.

"Busia Mara, I didn't say that our Inner Khalkha was at war with your Yehe tribe. I just considered the issue from Nurhaci's perspective. Let’s make a move, Master Feng, I’m afraid your father won’t be able to handle it, Jianzhou Jurchen has enough strength to swallow the Wula tribe and Yehe tribe, at least the Wula tribe can’t escape.”

   Zai Sai was not dissatisfied with Busia Mara's rage, but spread his hands calmly.

  Feng Ziying laughed, "Master Zai Sai's words are not unreasonable, but what if we let Bu Zhantai and the Wula tribe migrate to the territory of the Yehe tribe in advance?"

   "Oh?" Zai Sai focused his eyes, "This is a coup, but will Bu Zhantai agree?"

   "Life and death are at stake, can he not agree?" Feng Ziying said with a smile: "Isn't he still looking at Busia Mara eagerly?"

  Zai Sai was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Busia Mara.

  Even if he is a reckless man on the prairie, he can still feel that Busia Mara has a somewhat different attitude towards Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan.

  He originally thought that there was something wrong between the two of them, but Feng Ziying said that, it seemed a little different, didn't they say that Han people are most taboo about women's rumors in this regard? Why does this guy still say that?

"Also, in the battle of Qian'an City, Lord Zaisai should have felt that the power of the new Liaodong firearms is quite different from the previous Liaodong army. Nurhachi has done a lot in Liaodong. I think he can't hide this from him. Do you think he dares to fight?" Did you take the risk at all costs?"

  Feng Ziying's words quickly pulled Zai Sai's mind back.

After thinking about it, Zaisai still shook his head: "I understand what you mean, Mr. Feng, but if I am Nurhachi, then taking down Hu Lun's fourth department is the way to go. Even if it doesn't work this time, there will still be more Next time, if the Jianzhou Jurchen wants to compete with the Chahar people and the Great Zhou in Liaodong, they must swallow the Haixi Jurchen, even if they pay some price, it will be worth it."

  Feng Ziying also admires Zaisai's strategic vision. He is naturally aware of Nurhachi's expansion strategy, but Zaisai, as a tribal leader on the grassland, can also see this step, so it is not easy.

"He will definitely think so, but whether he can do it is another matter." Feng Ziying smiled lightly, "Many people need to suffer a lot before they understand that some things cannot be achieved only by ambition and firm will. Achieved."

  Jai Sai felt that the other party's words seemed to be hinting and reminding him of something, but he didn't care.

   "The fact that Jianzhou Jurchen has come to this point is actually the support and promotion of Da Zhou." Zai Sai said plainly.

"Lord Zaisai actually understands what I mean by asking this question. The Jianzhou Jurchens can expand to this point. What Master Zaisai said is very reasonable, but I think I still overlooked one point, that is, the Jianzhou Jurchens are better than the Mongols. All the ministries can study Da Zhou’s more advanced civilization more attentively, including agriculture, handicrafts and commerce. In fact, Lord Zaisai and even the Mongolian ministries have vaguely realized some of it. Da Zhou has never hesitated to teach you our advanced things. For example, writing, the legal system, the education system, business rules, and industrial production skills, Jianzhou Jurchen certainly got the most from Dazhou, but it is undeniable that they are also the most willing to learn and master them.”

Feng Ziying's words caused Zai Sai to fall into deep thought for a long time. He seriously thought about the reasons for the rise of Jianzhou Jurchen, and even felt that he had found such a path, but he did not expect Feng Ziying to go a step further in his own thinking and understanding. .

"Learning and mastery are not only through trade, but also through more exchanges and exchanges. That's why I asked Lord Zai Sai a question. The five departments of Neikalka compared with Chahar people and Jianzhou Jurchen. And what kind of state, or goal, the five parts of Nekalka want to achieve in the future."

  Feng Ziying's last words finally hit Zai Sai deep in his heart and made him fall into deep thought.

Including Mang Guda, Bi Lingtu and Su Zai who were behind Zai Sai, they were also touched a lot. Mang Guda couldn't understand it, but he felt that Feng Ziying's words were very profound and meaningful, while Bi Lingtu and Suo Zai couldn't understand. Suzai was an outstanding person selected by Zai Sai from the Hongji assassination department, but he could roughly understand the meaning of Feng Ziying's words.

What the future of the five parts of Nekalka wants to become is directly related to the positioning of the relationship with Dazhou. From the macro to the specific, it needs to be carefully considered, which also determines how the first thing should be done. Handling, including how to respond to Lindan Batur's request, and how to deal with more than 50,000 prisoners.
