The three of them, Sahanen, watched in disbelief. Countless armors and weapons, as well as Mongolian cavalry bows, tens of thousands of war horses, and food and firearms were unloaded on the caravan.
Mang Gurtai looked at the three thousand Zhenglan Banner elites under his men with a gloomy face, and the more than two thousand strong men brought by the three of them to recruit from the Zhenglan Banner. Although six thousand people are not many, they are still a large force.
of power.
Since Sahanen and the others met Mang Gurtai, there was no way back. If they went back, they would be chopped down by Huang Taiji. Even if this hadn't happened, they would be finished. They were already targeted to be cleaned up. Now they are being eaten again.
The battle was defeated and Jilin City was lost. There was no way to go back. I could only follow my old master until the end.
Now whether Mang Gurtai rebels or declares himself king, they will only follow him wholeheartedly.
"Master Beile, where should we go?" Sahanen asked.
At this time, although the world is huge, they really don't know where they can go.
"Let's go to Kaiyuan, kill my cheap brother-in-law first, and then let Mangguji annex his tribe. Together with the tribe Mangguji inherited from his ex-husband, we can gather 20,000 troops.
"Mang Gurtai said.
Everyone nodded. With these soldiers and horses, plus the weapons, armor, and food provided by Marquis Dingyuan, it is enough to be able to stand on one's own feet. Zhenglan Banner is very loyal to Mang Gurtai. It is estimated that there will be some excitement after hearing the news.
Few people came to seek refuge with their families and families.
If this is the case, their strength can continue to expand.
After Huang Taiji returned from his expedition to the Ming Dynasty, they formed a force. It would not be easy to conquer them again. Moreover, Yang Fan promised to help them. He also sent people to persuade Lin Dan Khan to form an alliance with Mang Gurtai.
alliance.
In this way, Manggurtai's base is established, and so are the allies. In addition, Duolun City has liberalized trade. It is not a problem for them to stand firm. From now on, if Manggurtai splits, Jiannu will no longer be able to enter the customs.
Already.
Because as soon as they leave, Mang Gurtai will march into Shenyang and change the dynasty.
Under such circumstances, it is strange that Huang Taiji dared to leave Shenyang and the core area of Liaoyang.
Mang Gurtai's army marched diagonally to the southeast. Kaiyuan is to the south of Siping. Kaiyuan and Tieling are the northern gates of Shenyang. Mang Gurtai occupied Kaiyuan, not only cutting off Amin's retreat from behind, but also directly
Threatened Shenyang.
At this time, in Kaiyuan City, a woman was screaming.
After Mangguji drank a bowl of ginseng chicken soup, she felt abdominal pain like cramping, and rolled down from the bed to the floor in pain. She knew that she was poisoned, and she desperately tried to vomit it out by pressing her throat. However, not much was vomited out.
Lan'er, the personal maid beside her, saw that the princess was taking in too much air and not letting out too much. She was in trouble if this continued. She gritted her teeth and decided to take a folk remedy.
"Go to the toilet, bring a bowl of golden juice, mix it with water into three bowls, mix well, and drink it for the princess. Hurry up." Lan'er yelled and cursed loudly.
The princess's people were so frightened that they couldn't care less about the appalling thing. They quickly ran to get it.
There is a holy detoxification medicine in Chinese medicine, which is Huangtangzi. The main reason why it can detoxify is that no matter who drinks it, it will definitely be vomited. If it can induce vomiting, it is equivalent to gastric lavage.
After downing three bowls of golden juice, Mangguji vomited until he was unconscious. At night, he was finally out of danger.
"Who did this? Let me find out. I will kill his whole family." Mangguji roared hysterically.
The results came out quickly. The cook who was responsible for making the chicken soup had been hanged. The maid responsible for serving it was also missing. Later, the body was found in the pond in the garden. And someone saw that the personal maid of the consort's first wife came to the kitchen.
I went to find the cook, and the two talked secretly for a long time before they broke up.
Mangguji felt that there was no need to investigate further. It was that little bitch who did it.
She was originally the concubine of the prince-in-law, but the prince-in-law surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and married a princess. She changed from the original wife to a concubine. After all, Mangguji was the legitimate daughter of the concubine Fu Chagun and the eldest princess. How could it be possible?
I can only wrong her by being a petty person.
The relationship between the princess and the consort is very bad, and this is something that everyone in Kaiyuan knows.
Moreover, the princess lives in the Princess Mansion in the west of the city. The consort lives in the Jinong Mansion in the east of the city. The two of them have nothing to do and rarely interact with each other. The consort mainly lives with his first wife, who has become a concubine. What the consort wants is the princess's territory and
people.
After he got these, he ignored the eldest princess. He also sent people to monitor the princess.
Especially after the princess's three nephews came to defect with more than 3,000 cavalry, the prince-in-law was so frightened that he moved out of Chengzhi and went to live in a tent in his tribe. He was afraid that something would happen and he would not be able to get out once the city gate was closed.
After all, he knew very well that although the pasture and the people here were given to him in the name of dowry, these things belonged to the princess' dead ex-husband and had nothing to do with him. The people here would not attach themselves to him.
On the body.
If he wants to control these people, he has to rely on the brand of the eldest princess.
Kaiyuan is the territory of the Hada tribe, one of the four Haixi Jurchen tribes. The people here are also Hada tribesmen. As the Haixi Jurchens and the Mongolian tribe under Chahar, they are not a nation or a person at all.
species and language.
Further north, Siping, also called Wula Street, is the territory of the Wula tribe, one of the four Haixi Jurchen tribes.
In fact, the prince-in-law knew nothing about what happened in the princess's house today. His attention was on guarding against the Zhenglan Banner cavalry brought by Mangguji's three nephews.
Mang Gurtai gave birth to a total of nine sons, three of whom died in infancy. Six of them survived to adulthood. In addition to the eldest son and the third son, the fifth son Ebilun, the sixth son Feiyanggutai,
The seventh son Sahana is responsible for managing the flag affairs at home.
Their third brother was also having a hard time at home. Jierhalang was eyeing Zhenglan Qi, so he sent Huang Taiji to straighten him up.
"Go find Shang Jian and his three brothers and come to the house secretly. I have something to discuss with them," Mangguji said weakly.
"In addition, invite all the elders of the Hada tribe here. Tell them that I plan to stand up for them and liquidate the Mongols. I will help them get back the humiliation they have suffered in the past few years. I will let them recover the property that the Mongols exploited.
Spit it out." Mangguji said through gritted teeth.
As the eldest princess with a fiefdom, she still has a lot of servants in the palace. Even now, she still has great power. Especially after the Mongols came, they oppressed the local Hada tribe Jurchens in various ways. The contradiction between the two sides was very acute.
.
In addition, the prince-in-law dotes on his first wife and has a very tense relationship with the princess, which makes the Jurchens of the Hada tribe move closer to the princess. After all, when the princess ruled them, she was the mistress of the Hada tribe. Now, they have become the mistress of the Hada tribe.
