143. Let go of the past

When Lu Ruolin received this report, he also thought it was very novel. There were such aliens in the Tartars.

Although he has always believed in the charm of Han culture, the Tatars now have an absolute advantage in the struggle with the Ming Dynasty, and there are constant wars, so it is undoubtedly very difficult to make the Tatars a Chinese way of doing things.

This was not the time when the Qing Dynasty seized the world in later generations. Because of the ensuance of a large number of Han people, the Han people assimilated all the Qing Dynasty from the top to the emperor to the flag-crown through huge population and culture advantages. Manchu language and Manchu language even needed protection later, and only a few people could have special skills.

The current Qing Dynasty has transformed a large number of Han people into Jurchens with its huge military advantages over the Ming Dynasty. Han culture is absolutely weak in the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, Han people are also a minority in the Qing Dynasty, with a low status and cannot play a guiding role.

More importantly, the current national policies of the Qing Dynasty were mainly concentrated on military struggles, and Han culture did not have much advantage over the Qing Dynasty's culture. Only in peaceful times and when a huge empire was needed to be governed, the advantages of Han culture would truly emerge.

It is precisely for this reason that Bayerney's Chineseization seems a bit rare, which also shows that Master Liang is indeed powerful. It is really not something that ordinary people can do when they are able to transform from a slave into a master.

"Is there any possibility of conquering this Bayerny?" Lu Ruolin suddenly had a new idea. Fortresses are often the easiest to conquer from within. Can we try to build a pseudo-Manchurian army? Lu Ruolin praised his ideas.

"At present, Bayerny is still very cooperative, and his family is in our hands. The Tartars' criminal law is harsh. Bayerny lost Lushun, and even if he is not dead, he will lose his skin. Even if he is let go, he probably won't dare. Those masters have bad tempers." Lu Qianqi said in a sinister manner.

"Then let's fight him over, and there are those captured Tartars. After screening, they will accept all those who abandon the dark and turn to the light. It should be more interesting to use Tartars to fight Tartars. Haha." Lu Ruolin just thought about it and was happy about such a picture.

"You can try it. I don't think Bayerny is devoted to the Tartars." Lu Qianqi was also somewhat sure.

"Then try it, there will be no loss anyway. At worst, you can send them to the Ming court in the end and sell them at a good price." Lu Ruolin didn't care. He could succeed the best, and he would not lose any loss.

"Are you going to surrender to the Ming court?" Lu Qianqi asked carefully. As the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty in the former Ming Dynasty, his feelings for the Ming Dynasty were very complicated. He had nostalgia, hatred, and unwillingness.

"Although the Ming court has declined, the lean camel is bigger than the horse and is still very powerful. The Xinghan Army wants to continue to develop and grow, and the population and resources are indispensable, and the Ming court has all these. Instead of letting the Ming court waste it, it is better to leave it to us to manage it. Therefore, it is very necessary to improve the relationship with the Ming court." Lu Ruolin has no shyness for senior officials like Lu Qianqi, and it will be made public sooner or later.

"Then aren't we going to be under the jurisdiction of the court?" Lu Qianqi was a little unwilling.

He has a deep understanding of the virtues of the court officials. It can be said that success is not enough to be defeated. It is not easy for the Xinghan Army to have a great situation now. Lu Qianqi also made great efforts in it, so how could he be willing to be abused by those court officials?

"What are you thinking about? They are worthy of commanding us? If we can serve the court and give them a great title, they should wake up laughing and want to use our Xinghan Army to ruin them. That's a dream! Do you understand if you listen to the tune or not?" Lu Ruolin sneered.

"In other words, except for the nominal we are under the jurisdiction of the court, nothing else will change?" Lu Qianqi asked.

"It's almost the same. Now my Han army is strong and powerful, and there is no shortage of money and food. There is no need to rely on the court to rescue us. Instead, the court needs us to fight the Tartars and asks us for a lot. As long as they don't want to force us to rebel, we can only decide." Lu Ruolin said proudly.

"With the name of the court, can we recruit refugees directly from all over the court? Have we bought and sold goods?" Lu Qianqi's eyes lit up.

"Smart! And there are other talents who can be recruited openly. As long as we join our Xinghan Army, are you afraid that people will run away?" Lu Ruolin looked like a weasel entering a chicken coop. The more vulgar it was, the more vulgar it was.

"What the adults say is that corruption in the court has become a trend, and talented people are not allowed to value it, and it is just right for adults to use it." Lu Qianqi was also intoxicated by the bright prospects. At that time, the Intelligence Department will usher in a big explosion.

"There is no rush to do this. When the news of our pacification of Liaonan reaches the Ming Dynasty, the big bosses and the emperor should be urgent. You can get rid of the Baierni first to see if you can use the Tartars to form a team of troops. It will definitely be used in the future war with the Tartars." Lu Ruolin interrupted Lu Qianqi's fantasy and pulled him back to reality.

"Yes, I'll do it now." Lu Qianqi immediately took the order out.

Lu Qianqi first found Master Liang and explained Lu Ruolin's idea to him, hoping that he could be a lobbyist and persuade Baier to surrender.

Master Liang's eyes lit up after hearing this. The transformation of his disciple into a Han general undoubtedly made his achievements a step further and more in line with Confucian righteousness. His disciples always fight against the Han family, but as teachers, they are still very awkward and have no face, and they will be despised after death. And if they persuade their disciples to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, they will be much more glamorous and tall, and they can be kept in history.

At this moment, Master Liang thought of Ban Chao and Wang Xuance, and his blood in his heart boiled like never before. The only pity was that the Xinghan Army did not represent the imperial court, and the effect was discounted.

"Dare not obeying!" Master Liang looked sacred and solemn, and bowed.

After being interrogated, Baierni was in a state of uneasiness. Although he was very cooperative and did not suffer any torture, the prospects were still dark. The Qing Dynasty was as cruel as the Han people captured, the Han people hated the Manchus captured.

I heard that many of the Manchu prisoners who were given to the court would be tortured by thousands of knifes, which makes people shudder when they think about it.

Also, his wife, children, and young people, I don’t know how they treated me after the city was ruined and whether they were still alive? And whether his teacher, Master Liang, had abandoned him and returned to the embrace of the Han people.

He thought too much, fear and worry, Baierny didn't sleep all night, looked very haggard, and he was not in the mood to eat the food given by the guards.

"Berni, someone wants to see you." After knowing that Bayni understood Chinese, the guards no longer needed to pass the message through a translation.

This time, I did not go to the interrogation room, but went directly to a reception room.

As soon as he stepped into the door, Baierny saw his teacher, Master Liang, sitting inside waiting for him, and there was also an official who interrogated the last time.

Baierni, who was deeply in prison, saw Master Liang's eyes turned red, and immediately stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and said with a sob of voice: "Disciple Baierni, pays homage to the teacher."

"I'm crazy, I'm suffering. Get up quickly." Master Liang quickly helped Baierni up, his eyes also turned red.

Speaking of which, Master Liang had accepted disciples before, but when it comes to the sincerity of the servant, it was the most important thing for Baierni, a foreigner. Perhaps he wanted whatever he lacked. Baierni, who lacked the spiritual world, admired and abideed by the Confucian style, and was even more pious than some Han people.

So the relationship between Baierni and Master Liang is not false. For Baierni, Master Liang is his mentor of his spiritual world and his father-like existence. Baierni's real father died when Baierni was very young, and Baierni did not have much impression of him. Master Liang replaced this role well.

"You have peace of mind. Marga and the children are both very good. Lord Lu specially arranged a separate residence for them, which is very safe. Why don't you thank Lord Lu quickly?" Master Liang knew what Baierni was concerned about, so he quickly told his family about it.

When Baierni heard that his family was safe, he was overjoyed and quickly knelt down to Lu Qianqi and kowtowed: "Thank you for your life, Lord Lu."

"No need to be polite. It is because you and your family have no bad deeds, and with Master Liang as a guarantee, my official will take special care of you. If you don't have your previous good deeds, you will not have the blessings you will today. There will be cause and effect between drinking and pecking, and you will also think about doing more good deeds in the future." Lu Qianqi advised.

"It is all teachers who teach well that only Bayerni can awaken." Bayerni attributed all the credit to Master Liang.

"Bayerny, now the commander of the Xinghan Army counterattacks Liaodong, and it is not acceptable to be the strongest. Once the Ming Dynasty recovers, it will definitely advance to Liaodong. If the time, Japan, the puppet Qing Dynasty will surely perish. You should make a decision where to go." Master Liang advised.

"I would like to ask the teacher to give me some advice." Baierni also had a premonition in his heart, but he was not sure.

"Good birds choose trees to live, and virtuous ministers choose masters to serve. The Han army's military discipline is strict, treats the people well, and does everything according to the law. The man's lord cannot act arbitrarily. Compared with the false Qing Dynasty, people regard people as cattle and horses, and life, death and robbery are all controlled by others, and the high and low are judged. The Han army is booming and promising, and the prospects are promising. Why don't you abandon the secret and turn to the light, follow the lord to make achievements, and you can also leave your name in history in the future." Master Liang said sincerely.

"I was originally a savage from Jurchens. I had fought with the Ming army before and had the blood of the Han people. Can the Xinghan army accept me?" Baierni said nervously.

"The two armies fight, each of them is their own. On the battlefield, either you die or I live. Those Ming troops die at your hands cannot blame anyone. If you leave the battlefield, you will not be guilty of not killing the Han people. Kong Youde and Shang Kexi are so many lives? They are not accepted by Huang Taiji. Our master has great ambitions and embraces all rivers. He is not much more than Huang Taiji. Besides, if you are determined to be Han, how can you not use it more for you?" Lu Qianqi praised Lu Ruolin.

In fact, Baierney has no other choice at all. Now he is so confused that he hopes to dispel his concerns.

"If your army does not dislike Bayern's vulgarity and incompetence, Bayern is willing to work hard for his own sake." Whether for himself or for his family, Bayern had no choice but to join the Xinghan Army.

"Okay! You can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but I think there is still a righteousness in your heart. The Xinghan Army must have your place to use it." Lu Qianqi was still very happy to complete the task so smoothly.

"Okay! OK! OK! You can draw a clear line with those Jurchen savages, and your heart is bright, and your heart is very comforted. Since you have joined the Han army, the Chinese name you gave you can also be used. For Han, you must do your best to do things with your heart and use this useful body to help the Han army to pacify the world." Master Liang was even happier and seemed very excited.

"Oh, what is Bayerny's Chinese name?" Lu Qianqi also became interested.

"The teacher named me Bai Hari Li, Master Hari, Master Hari, the truth, the word "日本" means "公日本" Baierni said proudly.

"Bai Hari? Bai Erni? Master Liang has a good intention. His name is Xianghan, and his good name is good! Good name!" Bai Erni's name and character are also thoughtful, which is very appropriate and meaningful.

"Although Xiang Han has a naturalized heart, I also hope that he will not forget his roots and remember his original name." Master Liang was also proud of this name.

"Since you have surrendered to the Han Dynasty, you are your own people. If you come, remove his shackles." Since Bai Harli is his own people, there is no need to wear shackles anymore, and his attitude towards him has also changed drastically.

"Xiang Han, Lushun has more than 3,000 prisoners of Manchus. How many of them are willing to surrender to us by the darkness?" Lu Qianqi would not satisfy Bai Ruli's surrender alone. Those Tartar soldiers were his biggest goal.

"Sir, I don't know this. Some soldiers' families are still in the Qing Dynasty. It is unknown whether they are willing to submit to each other sincerely, but I can try it." Bai Harli was not sure that many soldiers would be willing to surrender, so he could only try his best to win.

"Okay. These surrendered soldiers will be your command in the future. The more you recruit, the more you will be beneficial to you. You must seize this opportunity." Lu Qianqi reminded.

"Sir, can I still lead the troops?" Bai Ruli couldn't believe it.

"There is nothing impossible. If you don't doubt people, you don't need to. Since you sincerely surrender, you will naturally not treat you badly. There are many foreign generals in the Xinghan Army, including Koreans and Japanese, and you are not bad for you, the Jurchens. As long as you are willing to work together with us to build achievements and be Chinese in mind, the Grand Governor will only be talented and will not care about his origins." Lu Qianqi explained.

"I was too worried. I am willing to come forward to surrender those Manchu prisoners, and ask for permission from you." Since there is still a chance to lead the troops, Bai Harli was full of fighting spirit.

"We have to wait a moment. Those prisoners are being identified. Those who are extremely guilty must be dealt with first, so that others will be surrendered. Xiang Han, you must understand that although the Xinghan Army does not care about its origins and ethnic groups, those who commit serious crimes against the Han people, whether foreigners or Han people, will be severely punished. We must keep this rule in mind. Although the Grand Governor is generous, there are things that cannot be tolerated. This is the most important one." Lu Qianqi was half an explanation and half a warning.

"Xiang Han understands that if those people really do something cruel, they deserve it and are not worthy of sympathy." Bai Heli nodded.

"It's good that you can understand." Lu Qianqi was also satisfied with Bai Shili's answer and nodded.
