Jianzhou.
Baylor Manor.
Nurhachi looked at his brother Shurhaqi and asked,""Is there still no news about Chu Ying and Daishan? Is Brother Dong the new wife of Zhu Ke, the general of the Ming Dynasty?”
After Nurhachi received the news from the Li father and son, he did not completely believe it.
He didn't believe that the proud little girl would actually give herself to a general of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Ke had already caught Nurhachi's attention because he had defeated Buyan and seized control of the Ye He tribe. He had even ordered the spies lurking in the Great Ming to find out all the background information about Zhu Ke.
It was stored in a separate file in the Baylor residence for future reference.
Within Great Ming, there were many people who received such treatment.
For example, the main generals of the Qi Family's Army, the Li Family father and son from Liaodong…
After unifying Jianzhou Jurchen, Nurhachi had been quietly doing this.
At first, he collected detailed information about the civil and military generals of the Ming Dynasty, just in case the powerful Ming Dynasty could not tolerate him one day. Only by knowing oneself and knowing the enemy could he deal with the behemoth Ming Dynasty.
However, when he gradually unified all the Jurchen tribes in Nuergandusi, Nurhachi began to have some ideas that even he thought were unrealistic.
It sped up the collection and sorting out of the important people in power, outstanding figures, and the topography of the north.
Zhu Ke was very honored. Because of the news of the Li father and son, Nurhachi had sent his two most capable sons to personally and secretly head to the Ji Prefecture Guards to confirm the news.
Shurhazi shook his head and said," A few days ago, Chu Ying sent a secret letter back. The letter said that they haven't seen Zhu Ke's new wife yet. Perhaps they will have a chance when Zhu Ke's new army and the Qi Family Army practice. They also want to see the ability of this person who could defeat 30,000 Tatars with 500 troops."”
Nurhachi listened and casually picked up the court bulletin on the table.
This was sent back together with the letter.
"He's an excellent military and political figure. I have some understanding of Zhang Juzheng's new policies. This kid is so young, but he has analyzed the reasons for Zhang Juzheng's failure so thoroughly.”
"In the past, I had the same thoughts as many people in Great Ming. I thought that Emperor Ming Zhu Yijun suppressed the Reformist Party led by Zhang Juzheng after he ascended the throne, causing the complete failure of the reform. Now, it seems that Zhang Juzheng's reform was impossible to succeed from the beginning.”
"Discipline others first, discipline yourself first! This was what this kid did in the Ji Prefecture Guard. He was indeed a difficult opponent!”
"If his new wife is really Brother Dong, I'm afraid it will really come true.”
"You and I are almost forty years old. In the future, the ones who will compete with this child will definitely be Chu Ying and the others.”
Shurhazy's expression changed imperceptibly.
The Jurchen didn't follow the tradition of the Central Plains Dynasty where the father died and the son inherited.
It had always been the capable!
The current situation in Jian Province was not something Nurhachi had achieved alone.
He was also the founder of Jianzhou Jurchen. From the very beginning, he was the number two figure in this group, second only to Nurhachi.
According to the tradition of the Jurchen, if Nurhachi passed away.
Then the successor should be him, Shurhazi.
It was not the first time Nurhachi had hinted that they should follow the tradition of the Han people in the Central Plains.
Even though Shurhazi concealed it well, he did not know that Nurhachi was not asking for his opinion when he asked this question.
Instead, he was testing Shurhazi.
At this moment, a cold and resolute look flashed across Nurhachi's eyes.
Shurhaqi thought that he had experienced the same thing many times and concealed it well, so he didn't notice Nurhachi's strange behavior. He pretended to think and comforted him,""Big brother, whether it's Chu Ying or Dai Shan, their talents do not belong to Zhu Ke at all.”
"Zhu Ke is just a general of the Ming Dynasty. On the other hand, Chu Ying and Dai Shan will be leading our Jurchen in the future. Zhu Ke will be restricted in his actions, but they will not.”
Nurhachi smiled relaxedly and ordered,""Pay close attention to the result of the confrontation between Zhu Ke's new army and the Qi Family Army!”
……
At the same time.
In the residence of Count Ningyuan.
Li Chengliang and his son, as well as the high-ranking generals of the Liaodong border army, were gathered together.
Li Chengliang looked at the talented people in the meeting hall and could not help but feel proud.
This was all the result of the Li father-son duo's saber, spear, and kicks.
With the help of Gao Huai, that idiot, those who had the power to oppose the Li father and son had basically been eradicated.
Although he couldn't become a king.
However, in Liaodong, the prestige of the Ning Yuan Manor surpassed the imperial court!
He, Li father and son, were the well-deserved local emperors of Liaodong.
"Uncle, do you have any important instructions for us to return?”As the group of generals discussed among themselves, a general sitting in front suddenly asked.
Everyone stopped and looked at their colleague, Wu Xiang.
Wu Xiang's ancestral home is Jiangnan Gaoyou people.
According to his birthplace, it would be very difficult for him to make a name for himself in the Liaodong border army group, which was mainly composed of Liaodong people, especially Ningyuan people.
However, Wu Xiang was the best at making use of the opportunity. He could always seize any small opportunity, just like now.
In order to rise in the Liaodong border army group, which was dominated by Ningyuan township party, Wu Xiang married the younger sister of Li Rusong's deputy general Zu Dashou, who was born in Ningyuan.
With this relationship, Wu Xiang was like a fish in water in the Liaodong border army group.
Following Li Chengliang's rise, he was promoted to a general in a short span of ten years.
Li Chengliang looked like a rich old man from the countryside. He looked at everyone and said with a friendly smile,""I called you back to celebrate your success in quelling the mutiny in Liaodong. From now on, Liaodong will be at peace for a long time.”
Everyone knew what the so-called peace meant.
Those who were loyal to the imperial court and unconvinced of the Liaodong Group were all eliminated with the help of this mutiny.
The imperial court in Liaodong fell into a power vacuum for a while.
Liaodong had completely become the Liaodong Group's Liaodong.
"We should celebrate!"
"We should celebrate. This is the result of your plan!”
……
After the group of generals reacted, they beamed with joy and shouted.
Li Chengliang smiled. He knew that he would only glance at his eldest son after the commotion stopped.
Li Rusong understood. He stood up and said," Of course, there is another matter besides the celebration. As all of you brothers know, a few months ago, the reputation of our Ning Yuan Estate was severely damaged by a young border general who rose to prominence in the Ji Prefecture Guard.”
"This person is currently training a new army and is also controlling the 10,000 elites of the Ye He Tribe!”
"Furthermore, we have successfully completed the reorganization of the Ji Prefecture Guard.”
"According to the news from some friends in the central government, due to his outstanding military and political talents, he seems to have won the favor of the Emperor. His meteoric rise is just around the corner.”
"Commander, what are you hesitating for? Kill him!”When Wu Xiang heard that the Emperor valued Zhu Ke and was hesitating, he rudely interrupted Li Rusong and shouted like a boorish man.
Zu Dashou looked at his brother-in-law and smiled in satisfaction.
It seemed rude, but in fact, the timing was perfect.
The commander-in-chief had laid out so much, but he could not let the commander-in-chief say such words.
The Li father and son looked at Wu Xiang with satisfaction.
The other generals suddenly understood, and the meeting hall was instantly in an uproar.
"Yes, kill him! A child whose hair had not even fully grown dared to pull teeth from a tiger's mouth. He was really courting death!”
"As long as Uncle and Chief Soldier say the word, this general will immediately lead the troops to kill this brat! What can the Imperial Court do to us now?"
……
Li Rusong pressed his hands together in satisfaction and pretended to be serious."Don't look down on this kid. He has five hundred soldiers, defeated thirty thousand of Buyan's elite soldiers, and killed thirteen thousand of them. Now, he controls ten thousand of Ye He's elite cavalry!”
"It is said that the new army has already completed its initial training and issued a challenge to the Qi Family's Army. Tomorrow is the day of their confrontation drill.”
"If we can defeat the Qi Family's Army, we can't underestimate them. We need to discuss a specific countermeasure to deal with this matter. This person has already become our enemy and seriously endangered the interests of our Liaodong Group!”
"Commander, aren't you overestimating this person? Let's not talk about how he defeated the Qi Family's Army with a newly trained army. Even if he won, so what? The Qi Family's Army is no longer the Qi Family's Army when General Qi Jiguang was still alive.”Wu Xiang spoke again.
His expression was filled with arrogance."During the time when we were helping Chao resist the Japanese pirates, we also fought alongside the Qi Family Army. The current Qi Family Army is not as elite as our Liaodong Army.”
Li Chengliang didn't say anything after his opening remarks, and he had been secretly observing the reactions of the generals.
Now that he had gotten the answer he wanted, he was very satisfied.
After Wu Xiang finished speaking, he smiled kindly and said,"The Ji Prefecture Guards aren't too far from Liaodong. I've already sent people to watch their battle drills. Since everyone is back, stay in the residence for a few more days.”
"Let's wait for the results of the Jizhou Guards 'confrontation drill. Let's see what kind of strong army this person, who seized the opportunity to rise up and was hailed as a pillar of the court as a military and political elite, will train.”
"Uncle thinks too highly of him!"
"I'll listen to your orders."
……
The generals were all laughing and shouting. From Li Chengliang's words, everyone could feel his disdain for Zhu Ke's new army.
And they thought so too.
Although leading troops and training troops were both military matters, they were two different things!
Those who could fight well might not be able to train soldiers well!
Moreover, a strong army was not that easy to train. How long had Zhu Ke trained his soldiers? About half a year?
In the end, he was just a kid who had not even grown his hair. He had just happened to achieve something big.
Similarly, Zhu Changluo's defeated opponent, Bu Yan, was also gritting his teeth as he watched the Jizhou Guards 'confrontation drill.
He once again led ten thousand cavalry and approached the Ye He tribe that had Taiping Village as their back.
Staring at the pass like a tiger eyeing its prey!
For a time, the Ji Prefecture Guards seemed to have become the focus of the world!
