Spying is a professional job that is by no means easy, so the fifty people will not be dispatched immediately. The Ministry of Internal Affairs under Gao Mo will conduct a surprise training based on their experience over the years, and then send them to Japan one after another depending on the situation. However, these specific details
If he is very pragmatic, he will not interfere with everything one by one. At most, he will give some strategic instructions on how to approach a few key goals.
After arranging these matters, Gao Pangshi was about to return to the Hubu Yamen. Unexpectedly, the gatekeeper from the outer courtyard came to report that Mrs. Ru had sent Sol Guo to see him for something urgent.
Gao Pingshi couldn't help but be a little surprised. Is Meng Guzhezhe in a hurry? What could she be in a hurry for?
At this time, Gao Mo had already gone to arrange the spy affairs. There was no one else around Gao Pingshi, so Liu Xin joked: "Maybe it's just the little girl who misses you. You should act more proud."
"Shit." Gao Pingshi commented briefly, then glanced sideways at her and asked: "Speaking of which, you are her first teacher now, shouldn't you know something?"
"Then you guessed wrong. I don't know anything. She hasn't learned anything profound in the past six months. I just taught her how to read. Well... she knows about 900 to 1,000 Chinese characters now.
, the learning progress is quite good, I guess she will be 'illiterated' in two years."
Gao pragmatic waved his hand casually: "This is not a big deal. She is still young, and I don't expect her to learn anything like Li Qingzhao. She can become blind. But... forget it, I'd better meet Sorguo before talking. I hope he won't
What bad news will it bring me?"
Liu Xin smiled: "Since it is an emergency, I guess it is unlikely to be good news. You'd better be mentally prepared."
Gao Jingshi snorted twice, not knowing what it meant. When Sorguo was ordered to visit, Gao Jingshi had already sat down in the small study, and Liu Xin was also sitting not far away.
Sorguo has always been of a soft figure. When he saw Gao Pragmatic, he paid homage and said: "Slave Sorguo has met the master."
Good guy, his name is really the only one in the Gao family. He claims to be the "slave" used by the Jurchens, and calls Gao Pragmatic the "master" used by the Ming Dynasty. The only problem is that theoretically speaking, he is not considered
The servants of the Gao family, I really don’t know where to start with the term “slaves”.
However, Gao Pragmatic didn't bother to worry about this. He simply waved his hand and said, "Get up and talk."
"Yes, I would like to thank you, master." Sorguo got up. Seeing that Gao Pragmatic had no intention of speaking on his own initiative, he took the initiative and said, "I was ordered by Gege to report to the master some new situations regarding the Jurchens."
This was not what Gao Pragmatic had expected. He nodded lightly and asked casually: "Well, what's going on?"
"Replying to the master, Ye He and Baylor's messengers came from Tianjin Port this morning and said three things." Sorguo cleared his throat slightly and said: "The first thing is that Nurhaci is still dishonest.
Months ago, they quietly marched eastward to attack the Yalu River.
The second thing is that Hadabele Menggebulu was the first to learn the news. While sending someone to inform Ye He, he proposed to form a coalition with Ye He to put pressure on Nurhaci.
The third thing is that Shuerhaqi, the commander of the Jianzhou Right Guards, was supposed to be the first to know the inside story, but he did not disclose it. Instead, his general Naqib secretly sent someone to inform Ye He Er.
Baylor."
Liu Xin frowned slightly when she heard this, and glanced at Gao Pingshi, but saw that his expression was as usual, and she didn't know what he was thinking.
At this time, Gao pragmatically asked calmly: "There is a Hada tribe between Jianzhou Youwei and Ye He. How did Naqib's messenger get through?"
Sorguo replied: "The Jurchens all know that the right guard and the left guard of Jianzhou are not one and the same, so Naqib's messenger just spent a small amount of money to bribe the people of the Hada tribe, and reached the east and west cities unimpeded."
Gao pragmatic shook his head and sighed: "Menggebulu's ability to serve as a subordinate is really worrying." After a pause, he asked again: "Hada wants to join forces with Ye He to put pressure on Nurhaci.
What's Baylor's answer?"
"The two Bailes think this matter is feasible, but they have not yet given a formal answer before receiving instructions from the master. It is precisely for this reason that they urgently sent messengers to ask what the master meant."
Oh, these two brothers-in-law of mine have learned well. This time, they didn’t think that Ye He and Hada could defeat Nurhaci if they teamed up? But this is a bit strange. Why did these two suddenly become cautious? In the past, they
But they didn’t take Nurhachi seriously... Could it be that my emphasis on Nurhachi affected their judgment?
Or maybe they didn't really like Nurhaci when they did this, but they were just worried that I would be dissatisfied with them for provoking them, so they had to send someone to ask me what I meant?
Gao Pragmatic pondered for a moment and asked: "What Hada and the two Beilers mean - I mean their so-called 'pressure' - if Nurhaci refuses to accept it, or even ignores it, they have plans to actually launch troops."
?"
"This... the messenger didn't say anything." Sorgo said cautiously: "But judging from my servant's understanding of the three Belles, if Nurhachi really refuses and the three Belles feel they have lost face, I am afraid... they will launch an army to attack them.
."
Gao pragmatic sighed, shook his head and said: "Reply them, you don't have to worry about Nurhachi's attack on the Yalu River."
Solguo was obviously taken aback and said in astonishment: "This... the master is saying that Nurhachi should be completely ignored?"
Gao pragmatic glanced at him and said calmly: "I said that there is no need to worry about Nurhachi's attack on the Yalu River, but I didn't say that they should not be allowed to take other measures."
Sorguo bowed slightly and whispered: "This slave is stupid and doesn't know..."
"Have the three Baylors immediately contact Huifa, Ula and other tribes, and unite to warn the Nayin tribe and Zhusheli tribe in the name of the Hercynian Allied Forces. Tell them that Nurhachi's next target is them. If not
If we reach an alliance with Haixi, Nurhaci will send troops to destroy it in one year or two years."
Sorguo hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "My lord, it's just that although these two tribes have a very good relationship with Ye He, their relationship with the Huifa and Wula tribes are... quite discordant. Therefore, this
Whether the persuasion will be effective or not may be uncertain.”
Gao pragmatic frowned slightly and asked: "Why, Huifa, there is a territorial dispute between the second Ula tribe and the three Changbaishan tribes (Neyin, Zhusheli and Yalujiang tribes)?"
Sorgo smiled bitterly and said: "The situation may be more complicated than this."
"How do you say this?" Gao Pragmatic is familiar with several major Jurchen forces, but small forces such as the Changbai Mountain Three Tribes and tribes far away from the Ming Dynasty like the Ula Tribe are not so familiar with them now.
Sorguo said: "Ye He became rich by doing business with his horse team, and the three parts of Changbai Mountain have always been rich in Korean ginseng, and there are also many other things such as furs and pearls. At the same time, Ye He is not bordered by the three parts of Changbai Mountain.
The natural relationship between them is very good.
The situation of Huifa and Ula tribes is different. These two tribes are bordered by Changbai Mountain. However, Huifa is closer to the Ming Dynasty, and the location of other tribes is quite sensitive. They are in Yehe, Hada, Jianzhou, and Changbai Mountain.
Surrounded by the three tribes and the five Ula tribes.
This situation determines that the Huifa Department usually does not dare to speak loudly to anyone, for fear that the other departments will join forces to swallow it up. Especially in the past twenty or thirty years, Huifa has been obediently obeying Wan Khan's orders at first.
, later Ye He gradually replaced Hada, and Huifa began to lean towards Ye He again.
The slave had even heard before that this time Ye He and Beile were marrying their sister. Since the dowry was grand and difficult to raise, Huifa Beile Baiyindali took the initiative to offer part of the rare treasures in exchange for the support of Ye He and Beile."
Gao pragmatic frowned and said: "Huifa is also one of the four major tribes in Haixi. Why is he so humble and willing to lower his posture?"
Sorguo said: "I don't know what I know. The position of Baelor from Baiyindali was not inherited smoothly, but he was forcibly snatched by killing seven uncles."
Liu Xin was a little stunned when she heard this, and asked: "He killed seven uncles in a row?"
"Yes, Miss Liu." Solguo said seriously: "This Huifa tribe originally lived in the Heilongjiang River Basin. Its ancestor was a member of the Nyimacha tribe, named Anguli Xingguli, and he was the Yike Deli clan. This
At that time, he led some of his tribesmen to go south and settled in Zhalu (later Zhalu area in the Hulan River Basin).
At this time, Gayangga and Tumotu of the Hulun tribe lived in Zhangcheng, and their surname was Nala. Anguli Xinguli took refuge with them, slaughtered seven cattle to sacrifice to heaven, and changed his surname to Nala. Anguli Xinguli had two
There are two sons: the eldest son is Liuchen, and the second son is Beichen. Beichen takes over his throne, and he has two sons: the eldest son is Nalingga, and the second son is Naikuan.
Nalinggar gave birth to the governor Laha, the governor Laha gave birth to the governor Gahachan, the governor Gahachan gave birth to Qinagen Darhan, and Qinagen Darhan gave birth to Wang Jichu. This king Jichu was Baiyindali's grandfather.
.
Wang Jichu led people from neighboring tribes to move south to Huerqi Mountain (later Huifa Mountain, Huinan County, Jilin Province) on the bank of the Huifa River, and built a city and settled there, hence the name Huifa. The terrain of Huifa City was dangerous, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.
, Mongolian Tumen Khan personally led his army to attack in his early years, but could not conquer it. Therefore, the Huifa tribe is regarded as one of the "four major Haixi tribes".
After Wang Jichu's death, because his eldest son had already died before him, his eldest son's son, Baiyindali, was worried that Baylor's position might fall to another family, so he made preparations in advance and suddenly killed seven of his uncles.
, and then established himself as Baylor and ruled the Huifa tribe.
However, among his seven uncles, one or two were quite prestigious, so to punish them without teaching them would naturally arouse people's dissatisfaction. Even if they were usually photographed in Baiyindali and dared not speak out, in private... that would
Hard to say.
Baiyindali also knew the situation, but he had already killed seven uncles. If he killed another general in the department, Huifa himself would probably collapse, so he could only pretend not to know, but to the outside world - especially to the most important people in Manchuria.
A strong tribe will naturally never dare to violate it in the slightest."
"He is a ruthless person. I don't know if he has any serious abilities besides cruelty." Gao pragmatically nodded and asked, "What about the Ula tribe?"
"The surname of the Ula tribe is Nala, but it is different from the different surname Nala of Yehenala. It is actually the real surname Nala, also translated as Nala clan, Nalan clan, which is a large Jurchen clan. Nala clan
During the Jin Dynasty, it was translated into Chinese as 'Nalan', which was a Jurchen white surname - that is, a noble surname. The mother of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda had this surname.
The Ula tribe was founded in the fifth year of Yongle (1407) and lived in the upper reaches of the Songhua River. Ula in Manchu means river, river. Zuna Qibulu of the Ula tribe moved south several times after the Chenghua year and came to its
The descendants of Durji formed the Ula tribe. Durji's grandson Buyan led the tribe to build castles and set up an army, which became increasingly powerful. He unified the small tribes in Ula, built the capital, and proclaimed himself king.
After Buyan's death, his son Mantai succeeded him as Beile. Mantai built the capital of Ula on the east bank of the Wula River (the upper reaches of the Songhua River, later Wula Street), imitating the style of the Ming Dynasty, with city gates on all sides, and dominated the northeastern part of Liaodong for a while.
Mantai (also translated as Mantai) has a bad reputation even among the Jurchens... Master, the bad name I mentioned here is a real bad name and not a reputation for bravery. Because Mantai has been headstrong since he built the capital.
It's so extreme that he not only levies and extorts money, but also tortures and kills his subordinates at every turn, seizes the wives and daughters of his subordinates, and commits all sorts of evil."
Before Gao Pangshi could say anything, Liu Xin was already frowning: "You are doing such nonsense, and you haven't been killed by others yet?"
Sorguo said: "It is said that many people in Ula's tribe are dissatisfied with him, but because he has a strong city to rely on, and his brother Buzantai bravely crowns Ula, so...at least he is still living well now."
Gao Pragmatic waved his hand: "Let's get down to business, what is the relationship between Ula and the surrounding ministries under Mantai's rule?"
"Yes, sir." Solguo said hurriedly: "The situation of the Ula tribe may be beyond the expectations of many people. In terms of strength, this tribe is actually quite powerful. On the surface, it is not even weaker than Ye He -
—They can also mobilize an army of 20,000 at any time."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is really beyond Gao Pragmatic's expectation. He was surprised and said: "The Ula tribe has such strong strength? If this is true, why don't we see them?"
Compete with Ye He, or send troops to the southwest to conquer Huifa?"
"Master, this is the reason why the slave said that Ula is 'superior' on the surface." Sorguo said: "The Ula tribe became strong by conquering many small tribes around it, but the internal system of the Ula tribe is not as good as that of Ye
He is like that...that way..."
Seeing that Sorguo couldn't seem to find a suitable word, Gao pragmatically helped him fill it in: "Do you want to say 'centralization'?"
"Ah, yes, it is centralization of power - the master is really clever, he really hit the nail on the head." Solguo quickly flattered him, showing his pragmatism and being unmoved. He was not disappointed, but continued: "The strength of Ula's department is divided.
They were very scattered. Mantai actually only had three thousand people in his hands, and his younger brother Bu Zhantai had about two thousand.
In addition, there are various small tribes. The strength of these small tribes may be three hundred or five hundred. In short, none of them can muster thousands of soldiers and horses, so they can only obey the orders of the Mantai brothers, and it is difficult to create
Come back.
It is precisely because of this internal situation that although Mantai is arrogant and ridiculous, he does not dare to make trouble against Ye He. As for Huifa...the reason why they always rely on the strongest tribe in Manchuria is precisely because this is the only way to restrain Manchu.
Too ambitious.”
Gao pragmatic nodded and asked: "What is their relationship with the three tribes of Changbai Mountain?"
"Although the three tribes in Changbai Mountain have good relations with Ye He, because Ye He's trade route leads from Huifa to Changbai Mountain, it has been difficult for Ula to profit from it. Therefore, Minister Ula has also wanted to annex it for a long time. However, considering
Seeing Ye He's reaction, the Wula tribe did not dare to swallow them up. Instead, they provoked some small troubles from time to time. Today they occupied a village in the Neyin tribe, and tomorrow they robbed a village in the Zhusheli tribe.
Although Ye He would occasionally help the three tribes of Changbai Mountain, Mantai was very slippery. When Ye He had a tough attitude, he would return one or two villages to give Ye He face; if Ye He's attitude was not so firm, he would also
Or...well, after all, Ye He would not always seek bad luck from the Ula tribe for one or two villages from other tribes, so Mantai still took a lot of advantage, and this also caused the relationship between the Ula tribe and the three tribes of Changbai Mountain to become more and more tense.
, it’s almost a hostile state.”
Gao pragmatic couldn't help but said: "Humph, the little demons in the temple are powerful, and there are many bastards in Chi Qian." After a pause, he said coldly: "Let Ye He and the two Belles tell Manta that the Haixi Jurchens have united to build the Changbai Mountain
The support of the three tribes is what Ming Dynasty wants. If he dares not to listen, our coalition of Ming Dynasty soldiers, Ye He and Hada will not mind crushing Wula first!"
Gao Qingshi easily concealed his murderous intent, but suddenly he had a look of solemnity on his face. Even an old fox like Thor Guo couldn't help but feel chills all over his body. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, I'll spare you the trouble. I'll send a message to the two Baelors immediately."
"
Gao pragmatically waved his hand expressionlessly: "Go ahead."
