Chapter 297: Jurchen: Touch Daming to cross the river!
It was night in Shoukang Palace, and everyone in the Zhu family drank and drank together, and it was a warm atmosphere.
Behind Beijuxianfang on the north side of Dongzhimen Avenue, there is Berlin Temple, one of the eight major temples. It was built in the seventh year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty. When the Beiping City Wall was built in the first year of Hongwu, the Berlin Temple was divided into two.
The part outside the city is the North Berlin Temple, and the part inside the city is the South Berlin Temple.
However, the Peking City Wall has never been completely repaired.
After the separation of the North and South Berlin Temples, the North Berlin Temple became less popular because it was outside the city. Most people in the world were willing to go to the South Berlin Temple nearby, so the North Berlin Temple has gradually become one of the eight major temples in Beijing.
Berlin Temple is famous for its ancient cypresses. There are many ancient trees in the temple, especially ancient cypresses, ancient locust trees, whitebark pine, ancient ginkgo, etc. In addition to many giant cypresses, there are also two wisteria-tangled cypresses in the temple.
The most famous ancient tree in the North Berlin Temple is an ancient seven-leaf locust tree in the courtyard of the Vimalakirti Pavilion. The Vimalakirti Pavilion is a small independent courtyard behind the temple. The north, east and west sides of the courtyard are two-story pavilions "Vimalakirti Pavilion".
Pavilion", the ancient Seven-leaf Sophora japonica stands tall on the west side in front of the pavilion.
Under the ancient Buddha with green lanterns, there is someone sitting silently under the ancient seven-leaf locust tree.
He is a man in his early forties.
Not a monk.
Because it was late autumn, this man was wearing a hat and had a rough face. He didn't look like a southerner at first glance. He was sitting under an ancient locust tree, slowly drinking strong wine.
Footsteps were heard not far away, and a moment later the abbot of Beibolin Temple came to the foot of the ancient locust tree with a young novice.
Salute to the man.
This is not Han Chinese etiquette, but Jurchen etiquette.
The man laughed and spoke fluent Ming Dynasty Mandarin, "Have all the pilgrims left?"
The abbot nodded, "Yes."
The man then took off his hat and put it aside, muttering, "It makes me so uncomfortable!"
Suddenly I have money braids!
The abbots of the eight major temples in Gyeonggi are all held by eminent monks who are profound in Buddhism and even need to be canonized by the government.
This is not the case with ordinary small temples.
If you can bring more money for sesame oil and lamps to the temple, then you can do it. As for studying Buddhism, leave it to the eminent monks in the temple - the temple also has to make money to support a large group of people.
Hongchen, the abbot of North Berlin Temple, became a monk in Berlin Temple in the 9th year of Jingtai. Before becoming a monk, he read poetry and books and was well versed in Buddhism. After becoming a monk, he made many suggestions and brought a lot of incense and oil money to Berlin Temple. He rose quickly and became the leader in just a few years.
The one who was favored by the public became the abbot.
He said to the man: "There is still no news from Manzhu in Jianzhou today."
"Manzhu" is actually the transliteration of the Mongolian "Manshu", which means Buddha and auspiciousness. As the leader of the Jurchens, Li Manzhu gradually became the honorific name of Li Manzhu among the Jurchens.
The man smiled broadly and said, "Ama is old and was frightened by the young army of the Ming Dynasty. She knew I was coming to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. She was scared before it was too late. How could she dare to spread the news?"
Call Li Manzhu Ama...
This man is Li Gunaha, a fellow governor and commander of the Jianzhou Guards. He is also Li Manzhu's favorite son. If nothing unexpected happens, Li Gunaha will inherit Li Manzhu's status as Manzhu.
Li Gunaha said again: "Sit down."
Hongchen proclaimed the Buddha's name, sat down, and said to the young novice monk next to him: "Go and guard outside the pavilion."
The little novice monk bowed and stepped down.
Li Gunaha asked: "How did you handle the things you were told?"
Hongchen sighed, "Although the Donggong Military Research Institute was established on the basis of the Ordnance Supervision, now the Donggong Military Research Institute is an independent department and is heavily guarded. On weekdays, the Donggong Young Army is responsible for guarding. For the first time,
When the young army went out for the expedition, the four guards of Tengxiang and Wuxiang mobilized troops to guard the Donggong Military Research Institute. The defense was so impenetrable that we could not contact the people of the Donggong Military Research Institute at all."
Li Gunaha sighed, "The Ming Dynasty Prince Zhu Jianji is an outstanding person. He has long known what changes the Dongfeng series of firearms will bring to the war, so he has been on guard against technology leaks from the beginning."
In last year's Battle of Mobei and this year's war, the Jurchens were wandering around Liaodong. As long as they had the chance, they planned to annex Liaodong and then go south. Ming Dynasty was well aware of these actions, so there must be a lot of dissatisfaction with the Jianzhou Jurchens in the capital.
.
Moreover, because the Ming Dynasty attached itself to the Jurchens, North Korea thought that the Ming Dynasty wanted to restrict North Korea's westward development. In order to prevent the Jurchens from returning to the Ming Dynasty, North Korea canceled the mutual trade with the Jurchens.
Nowadays, Jurchens are having a hard time.
It's okay to have a hard time, but the Jurchens didn't have it easy. On the one hand, they had to deal with the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, they had to contend with the Mongolian tribes in the grasslands. The Jurchens were slowly becoming stronger.
The problem is that the Ming Prince is too tyrannical!
Within the Jurchens, not only Li Gunaha, but also all the senior officials knew that the Ming Crown Prince had pacified Taiwan, and his next target was likely to be Annan. After the Ming Dynasty invaded Annan and had sufficient troops to replenish it, the next target would definitely be Mo.
The Mongolian tribes in the north.
How can you allow others to snore and sleep next to your bed?
Once the Mongolian tribes were destroyed, the Jurchens in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty would only have one fate.
Or it will completely become the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Or be exterminated.
Obviously, the latter is more likely.
Because now the Jurchens have joined the Ming Dynasty, but they are not so obedient most of the time, and with the style and temperament of the Ming Dynasty Prince Zhu Jianji, he will never allow the Jurchens to make such repeated leaps.
In short, there must be a life-and-death war between the Jurchens and the Ming Dynasty.
Ligunaha is worried about this future.
Ama Li Manzhu also knew it, but Li Manzhu was over seventy years old and didn't care at all, because it would be at least five years before the Ming Dynasty took action against the Jurchens, and Li Manzhu would be dead by then.
But Li Gunaha is not dead!
Not only is Ligunaha still alive, he also wants to live a better life, and he even has great ambitions.
What Genghis Khan could do, Li Gunaha can do too!
But ambition alone is not enough. In today's Ming Dynasty, even if Genghis Khan is reincarnated and his Mongolian cavalry reappears, they may not necessarily win Zhu Jianji's East Palace Young Army.
Ten thousand people can sweep across Mobei from west to east.
Defeated 50,000 cavalrymen with zero battle losses in Yingzhong Gorge.
Ten thousand people pacified Taiwan in one day.
This year, those 10,000 people were like sharp arrows tearing through the sky, beating the allied forces of the Mongolian tribes everywhere.
Such a young army directly marked the old era.
Li Gunaha believes that in future wars, the fighting style of the young army will definitely become the mainstream.
The Jurchens must change.
If the Jurchens still stick to the past cavalry charge, they will end up like the other Mongolian tribes sooner or later.
Jurchens also want to develop firearms!
But the Dongfeng series firearms of Zhu Jianji's Donggong Youjun completely surpassed Li Gunaha's knowledge. Their range, lethality and accuracy were all different from traditional fire guns.
what to do?
Li Gunaha had an idea: Since the Ming Dynasty could install Dongfeng firearms, why not the Jurchens?
What should I do if I don’t know?
Steal!
We girls really don’t have that kind of technology, so we can cross the river by touching the Ming Dynasty.
Anyway, there are still a few years left for Jurchen.
Under such circumstances, Li Gunaha came to the capital of the Ming Dynasty and quietly lived in Beibinlin Temple. He had only one purpose and used all his strength to bring the forging technology of Dongfeng firearms back to the Jurchens.
Then use the strength of the whole clan to strive to be like a young army and the whole army is in uniform.
