Li Rusong brought Nurhaci, Nikanwailan, Qi Chengen and Zhang Maoxiu back to Liaoyang.

Although Nikanwailan and Jen Chengen hated Nurhaci to the core on the way, Li Rusong's ugly words were already ahead, and they did not dare to provoke a war.

Zhu Yiliu did not meet them in unison.

The first one to pick up was Nurhaci.

At that time, there were Chen Ju and Zhu Bajie beside Zhu Yili.

When he saw his master, Nurhaci was so happy that he kowtowed and bowed, and said another word of gratitude.

Zhu Bajie was the same outside just now. He kowtowed to Nurhaci and even boasted that he had become an imperial guard and got married. His wife Aizawa was pregnant and would soon become a father.

Nurhaci did not have the surprise that Zhu Bajie imagined, but just said calmly that he worked hard.

In Zhu Bajie's opinion, the master did not show too much enthusiasm, just to encourage him and not be proud and work hard with the master.

In fact, in Nurhaci's eyes, he had many apprentices in the college at that time, and Zhu Bajie was just one of them, and there would not be much intersection in the future, so he just politely congratulated and encouraged Zhu Bajie.

This is the difference in their master-apprentice cognition. One thinks that the other is his only, while the other thinks that this one is one of his.

After all, Zhu Bajie is still a simple person and has a personality like a child who has not grown up yet.

And Nurhaci is already very mature.

At this moment, Zhu Yili's situation is a bit similar to Nurhaci just now.

Faced with Nurhaci's excitement of kowtowing and thanking each other, Zhu Yiliu just nodded and raised his hand slightly to make Nurhaci get up and speak.

Then he asked seriously about the Battle of Foala City.

Nurhaci said it in detail, but it was not as exaggerated as Shurhaci told his story.

After hearing this, Zhu Yili finally laughed, and even gave Nurhaci a thumbs up and said:

"You're good, Master knows you can do it. It's not a piece of cake to deal with a mere Nikan Wailan? There are many leaders of tribes waiting for you behind."

"The disciple understands." Nurhaci nodded.

"Don't be proud, keep working hard. If you have any difficulties, you can tell your master at any time."

"There is not too much difficulty yet. It would be great if the master could borrow some artillery from his disciples."

Nurhaci has always coveted the powerful artillery of the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately the Ming Dynasty did not sell it to them.

"Think about this Master Rong, after all, artillery is a contraband in this dynasty and cannot be used for arms."

Of course, Zhu Yiliu would not lend it to Nurhaci. His ideal was to let Nurhaci peacefully unify the Jurchens, but he just did not promise to give up his force.

Nurhaci only mentioned this and would not say more.

"What are your plans next?" Zhu Yiliu continued.

"Adjust for half a month, and then continue to conquer the unsubmissive tribes."

"Okay! The teacher will stay in Liaodong for a while to support you. The same goes for you. We will play the master and apprenticeship. If you have any difficulties, come to see your master at any time."

"Thank you! The disciple has something to ask the master."

"ask."

"What did Master call Nikan Wailan to do?"

"Is this still necessary? Of course I advise him to surrender, and I hope he will surrender to his disciples!"

"But what if he doesn't want to?"

"This..." Zhu Yili hesitated for a moment, "It shouldn't be possible? He has already surrendered to this dynasty. Some masters said they would agree to the end. Do he dare to refuse?"

“So great!”

"What else?" Zhu Yili asked.

"Otherwise, the disciple vowed to take his life." Nurhaci's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

"Do you remember what Master promised you?"

"The master said that he would help his disciples unify the Jurchen tribes within five years." Nurhaci did not forget this.

"Well, just remember." Zhu Yiliu nodded and encouraged, "Master works hard, you work hard too. If you don't have a strong backing, you will definitely encounter many obstacles to your great cause of unification; but if you don't work harder yourself, your master will not be able to pull you."

"The disciple understands this."

"You have injuries, so take care of me here for two days. After Master finishes the ideological work of Nikan Wailan and Cheng'en, he will talk to you."

"Okay, thank you for your concern!"

"Why are you polite? You are the apprentice that Master values ​​the most." Zhu Yili smiled with a smile.

Chen Ju couldn't help but look at Zhu Yiliu, remembering that Master Long seemed to say the same to Zhang Jing.

Zhu Bajie felt even happier than his master when he heard this, and thought to himself that the master valued his master so much.

"Thank you for your concern, my disciple is grateful." Nurhaci bowed again.

"Do you have any other problems that you urgently need to help you solve?" Zhu Yiliu asked again.

"Master, can you let Xu Chengen go back? He is involved in Jianzhou like a mess, and he is tired of it." Nurhaci looked disgusted.

"Okay, Master tried to convince him to return to Ningxia, but he was afraid he would not listen. Maybe he thought the revenge of killing his father was irreconcilable, otherwise he would not have traveled thousands of miles to come to Jianzhou to seek revenge on you."

"But the disciple doesn't think his father was killed by the disciple."

"Master advised him later. Maybe this was a misunderstanding." Zhu Yiliu didn't say much.

"Master is interested, so let's retreat first." Nurhaci turned around and left.

Zhu Yili invited Nikan Wailan again.

In fact, in terms of strength, Nikanwailan was still stronger than Nurhaci at this time. He failed several decisive battles with Nurhaci, but he did not occupy the right time, place, and people, which did not mean that he was vulnerable.

Moreover, Nikan Wailan had long surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yiliu had reason to believe that he was more loyal to the Ming Dynasty than Nurhaci. Nurhaci was always an ambitious person.

Nikanwailan is more than a round older than Nurhaci. He feels that he has strength and has a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty. It is precisely because of his strength and confidence that he is unwilling to be defeated by Nurhaci and succumb to the rule of this young junior.

Zhu Yiliu, from the perspective of a later generation, in history, the Ming Dynasty helped Nurhaci kill Nikanwailan, which was actually a bad move.

After the mid-Ming Dynasty, although the country was weak, it could basically effectively control the Mongolian and Jianzhou ministries in the north.

The strongest Jurchen power in the northeast are the Jianzhou Jurchens. The three Jianzhou guards are Jianzhou guards, namely Jianzhou guards, Jianzhou left guards, and Jianzhou right guards.

Among them, the Jianzhou Guards had a good relationship with the left guards of Jianzhou and the Ming Dynasty, while the Jianzhou Right Guards were relatively unruly. Therefore, under the planning of Li Chengliang, the Jianzhou Right Guards were destroyed under the attack of the Ming army, which was the one that Wang Gao once led.

When Li Chengliang conquered Gule Village, Nikanwailan began to surface. He was originally a businessman, but he was ambitious and always wanted to make a name for himself.

In his opinion, if you want to make a name for yourself, you must obtain the support of the Ming Dynasty, and then you must first obtain the support of Li Chengliang. This led to the chance of Nikan Wailan popping up when Li Chengliang attacked Gule Village.

The Ming Dynasty's strategy for treating the Jurchens at that time was that if one person was defeated, he needed to support another one, and Nikan Wailan naturally became the most suitable candidate.

Therefore, Nikan Wailan accepted a large number of forces originally belonging to the Right Guard of Jianzhou, which was Wang Gao, and finally began to make his mark.

Historically, the two leaders of Jianzhou Zuowei were killed by accident, namely Nurhaci's grandfather and father.

Of course, many people in later generations believed that the so-called manslaughter was a joke, but in fact, it was done deliberately by Li Chengliang under the bewitching of Nikan Wailan.

But from a balanced perspective, the Jianzhou Jurchens could not be fully in the hands of Nikan Wailan.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty also gave Nurhaci high enough treatment and status.

Nurhaci was a relatively smart person who repeatedly used the Ming army to kill him by mistake, so he received sympathy from many Ming Dynasty officials, including Li Chengliang, and his support for him gradually increased, which aroused the hatred and dissatisfaction of Nikan Wailan.

According to Nikan Wailan's logic, he was extremely loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Only by being loyal to the Ming Dynasty could he maintain his power and status. Therefore, Zhu Yiliu believed that Nikan Wailan's loyalty was true.

Objectively speaking, the Ming Dynasty should not support Nikan Wailan too much, as it is easy to lose its severity, but it should not support Nurhaci too much.

Instead, they should always be in a delicate balance to be the most beneficial to them. However, in history, Li Chengliang eventually sent troops to kill Nikanwailan, making Nurhaci bigger.

Moreover, the death of Nikan Wailan brought great negative effects. Those ethnic leaders who wanted to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty saw that Nikan Wailan, who was so loyal to the Ming Dynasty, were all taken advantage of and abandoned, so how could they dare to turn to the Ming Dynasty again?

Therefore, after the death of Nikanwailan, Nurhaci finally found an opportunity and took advantage of the negative effects of Nikanwailan's death to win over a large number of fence-watching factions, and the left guard of Jianzhou rose in the true sense.

Of course, this is the original history, and history cannot be assumed. Now that it has changed, Zhu Yiliu will not let Nikan Wailan die easily.
