Chapter 576
When he heard that Liang Menglong was visiting, Nurhaci felt a little flattered.
In Nurhaci's eyes, Liang Menglong is a military talent like Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, and is even more powerful than the two of them. Because Liang Menglong's official position is higher than both of them.
If Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang are the choices of generals who charge forward, then Liang Menglong is the choice of generals who can fight and command.
You should know that Liang Menglong served as the governor of Ji Liao before he served as the Minister of War.
Ji Liao - is a geographical concept, referring to the area in Beijing today, through the Shanhaiguan line, to Jinzhou, and to Liaohe River.
The Governor of Ji Liao, full name is the Governor of Ji Liao, Baoding and other departments, and also manages food and money. He also controls Shuntian, Baoding and Liaodong, and governs the four towns of Jizhou, Changping, Liaodong and Baoding. In the 29th year of Jiajing, the Governor of Jizhou was established, and the following year was changed to the Governor of Ji Liao.
When Liang Menglong was the governor of Ji Liao, he led Qi Jiguang to Liaodong to assist Li Chengliang in fighting against the Mongolian barbarian forces.
That time, Liang Menglong, Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang attacked each other in three directions and fought a beautiful battle.
Therefore, although he had never contacted Liang Menglong before, Nurhaci's reputation was well known.
This is what the heroes cherish each other.
The moment he saw Liang Menglong, Nurhaci was very excited. He didn't know why this military master suddenly wanted to see him? It's logical that there was no reason.
Liang Menglong maintained his usual military character and never spoke and did things. After seeing Nurhaci, he said straight to the point: "I am here today to ask you something to verify."
"Master Liang, please ask."
"Why did Prince Lu ask you to come to Beijing to teach the children of Deshi Academy's riding and shooting skills?"
Nurhaci bowed and said, "Sorry! Lord Liang asked me, but I was actually puzzled. On that day, I asked Prince Lu in front of Empress Dowager Cisheng, but the answer I got was not satisfied with."
"Oh? What did Prince Lu say?"
"Mr. Liang, don't laugh. On that day, I asked Prince Lu that he had a lot of talents in the country, why he had to send people to invite me, a foreigner, to be a teacher. Prince Lu replied, "I am a thousand-mile horse."
After hearing this, Liang Menglong thought Nurhaci had not finished speaking, but after waiting, he found that he had finished speaking.
Liang Menglong asked curiously: "Has Prince Lu said so much?"
"Yes." Nurhaci was very sure.
Liang Menglong couldn't help but think that Nurhaci was a thousand-mile horse? What do you mean? In the eyes of Prince Lu, can't our great country find a talent who is as proficient in riding and shooting skills like Nurhaci?
But looking at Nurhaci's expression, he must have not lie. That's what Prince Lu said.
Liang Menglong couldn't help but wonder, was it a praising Prince Lu or did it have another purpose?
But he is very sure now: he can't ask anything at all, and the only question is Zhu Yiliu.
Liang Menglong had to jump: "Do you know that Prince Lu not only reminded the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, but also reminded the Prime Minister, including me, to ensure the personal safety of your grandfather and father?"
Nurhaci was stunned, shook his head, and then said in surprise: "What Prince Lu means is, is my grandfather and father in danger of life?"
"I believe you know that General Li Chengliang besieged Gule Village and vowed to destroy Atai. Although your family has long been in the Ming Dynasty, it is also true that he had a marriage relationship with Atai before."
"We don't know that Atai and his father are so overestimating their abilities that they have to fight against the superior country." Nurhaci defended without being humble and arrogant.
"I don't mean to blame you." Liang Menglong felt that Nurhaci had a misunderstanding of his words and quickly explained, "I just care about why Prince Lu must remind us to protect your grandfather and father. Logically speaking, General Li attacked Atai, and your family had already joined our court. What danger would your grandfather have? They wouldn't join forces with Atai, right?"
"Definitely not." Nurhaci was very sure.
"Or secretly?"
"No," Nurhaci said confidently, "My grandfather and father can still weigh the importance of it. If you want to persuade the surrender, it is possible... Oh, Oh! I will persuade the surrender, I will not..."
Nurhaci suddenly showed a look of surprise. Although he didn't say anything else, Liang Menglong understood it and asked, "Are you worried that it would be dangerous if your grandfather and father went to persuade Atai to surrender?"
Nurhaci suddenly calmed down again and murmured: "It's not possible in theory! Although Atai is stubborn, he is not so ruthless that even my grandfather and father are trying to be bad, but he just has different ambitions. Then Lord Liang, my grandfather, my father is okay?"
"Of course." Liang Menglong nodded, and then said in confusion, "I can't understand why Prince Lu repeatedly warned us. Prince Lu is known as a god's prediction. This time he may have saved your grandfather and father, otherwise he would not be able to explain Prince Lu's actions."
"Mr. Liang, can you please explain it clearly?" Nurhaci seemed to not understand.
"I mean, if it weren't for Prince Lu's repeated reminders, your grandfather and father might be in danger of life in the Battle of Gulezhai. But because of Prince Lu's repeated reminders, your grandfather and father were safe."
Nurhaci murmured: "What danger can my grandfather and father have?"
Liang Menglong sighed and said, "You can't underestimate any decision of Prince Lu!"
"Prince Lu is indeed a genius." Nurhaci also had to admit this.
"That's why I came to ask you, but unfortunately you didn't know." Liang Menglong was a little regretful.
"I really don't know this. Lord Liang didn't ask me, and I didn't know that Prince Lu had specially reminded you. I promised Prince Lu to teach at Deshi College for two years, otherwise I could go back to Jianzhou to ask my grandfather and father at this moment, and maybe I could get some answers."
"Isn't it over to see your grandfather and father, let them go to Beijing?" Liang Menglong immediately suggested, "Anyway, the war over there has been over."
"Is that OK?" Nurhaci looked expectant.
"Of course." I can't guarantee anything else, Liang Menglong is still very confident, and he is just asking Emperor Wanli to pass on an oral order.
"Thank you, Lord Liang!"
"You're welcome." Liang Menglong waved his hand and said, "Since you can get so appreciated by Prince Lu, I think there must be more outstanding besides riding and shooting skills."
"Mr. Liang is over-reputable."
"No, I just believe in Prince Lu."
"As a heavenly official, Lord Liang trusts Prince Lu so much, isn't he afraid of being irresponsible?" Nurhaci reminded kindly.
Liang Menglong didn't appreciate it and said seriously: "You shouldn't worry about this."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for saying a word!"
"Okay, okay, don't blame yourself. It seems that I ran away in vain this trip." Liang Menglong left with his sleeves.
Indeed, from Nurhaci, he did not get the answer he wanted.
Liang Menglong still didn't give up, but he couldn't fly to Jiangling City to ask Zhu Yiliu, right?
After thinking about it, there seemed to be another person who did not ask: Empress Li.
Thinking that if even Empress Dowager Li didn't know, then he could only ask Zhu Yiliu.
Anyway, I have already reached this point and I am not short of the last step. What's the harm in asking Empress Dowager Li? I'm not for the sake of public or private, why are you afraid?
Liang Menglong said he would go there, and he felt a spirit of breaking the casserole to ask the end.
