Fushun City was built in the 17th year of Hongwu. It is a brick city built at the foot of Gaoer Mountain on the north bank of the Hunhe River. Its name is Fushun, which means Fusui's border and Shun's people. Fushun City is not large in scale, with a surrounding area of ​​2 miles and 376 meters, a pond of 15 meters and a width of 2 meters.

During the Hongwu period, Fushun Qianhu House was established, which was under the jurisdiction of the Zhongwei of Chenyang. There were 1,200 soldiers. The current Qianhu House was Li Yongfang, a native of Tieling.

Four days ago, Nurhaci, the leader of the Right Guard of Jianzhou, led 5,000 elite cavalry to station in Fushun Pass, more than 40 miles away from Fushun City, threatening to ask Liaodong Mine Supervisor to let Gao Huai return his ginseng and Dongzhu money, otherwise he would send troops to attack Fushun City.

When the news came, Fushun was shocked. On the one hand, there were only more than a thousand defenders in Fushun City, and on the other hand, they didn't know where the right guard of Jianzhou got the courage to raise troops to invade.

The soldiers and people in the city were panicked, and the guard Wang Mingyin and others were actively preparing for the war, preparing to severely hurt Nurhaci, so that he could know the power of the Ming army. At the same time, they sent people to Chenyang to report urgently, asking Li Dashui to quickly send troops to pacify Jianzhou.

However, Li Yongfang, a guerrilla in Qianhu, dissuaded Wang Mingyin. He and Wang Mingyin and others said that Nurhaci came here just to ask Gao Huai for payment for the goods. The reason why he promoted troops to Fushun Pass was just a threat and he would never dare to attack the city.

Wang Mingyin and others were skeptical, and news came again that Nurhaci personally brought people to Fushun to ask for the guerrilla Li Yongfang.

Nurhaci and his party had about a hundred people, carrying gifts such as ginseng, deer antler, and Dongzhu. Because they were worried that Li Yongfang would not like the specialties he brought, Nurhaci specially sent someone to a money house in Fushun to exchange for a few thousand taels of silver notes.

Since the thirteen armored soldiers, Nurhaci has been dealing with Ming Dynasty officials for many years, and has served in the Ming army himself. He knows that the salary of Ming Dynasty officials is extremely low, even civil servants with the same rank as guerrillas, do not have much silver a year, let alone a military position outside this remote pass.

Nurhaci's eldest son Chu Ying disagreed with Ama going to Fushun to meet Li Yongfang, saying that the real purpose of raising troops to Fushun Pass this time was not sure that Li Yongfang and other generals of the Guanbao Abram may not know. If they really thought Ama raised the flag, wouldn't Ama go to the tiger's mouth?

Nurhaci didn't care and said to Ju Ying: "That man Li Yongfang, Ama, has dealt with him several times, and is the most greedy for money. Such people cannot get along with others, nor will they get along with money." After that, he asked Fei Yanggu, one of the five ministers, to take him to Fushun City with him.

Fei Yanggu was a general under Nurhaci. He was a martial artist since he was a child. He was brave and skilled in riding and shooting. He could pull out a strong bow of more than ten stones at the age of twelve. Since he raised an army to fight against various Jianzhou divisions, he has made many military achievements. He and He Heli, Huerhan are known as the five heroes of Jianzhou together. Nurhaci privately called the five ministers who were the most trustworthy and inseparable from him.

After Fei Yanggu received the order, he picked up 60 warriors from the Zhenghuang Banner that came this time with Nurhaci. Eight years ago, after Nurhaci returned from tribute to Beijing, he reorganized his troops into four flag soldiers, with yellow, red, white and blue as the flag colors. Each flag had about 4,000 elite cavalry. Now, with the conquest of Ula, Hada, Donghai, Haixi tribes and the savage Jurchen, Nurhaci's military strength has grown stronger and more than 40,000 elite cavalry have already been.

On the way, Nurhaci and Fei Yanggu told their purpose, that was, he wanted to use troops to the Ula tribe again, but lacked armor and equipment, so he wanted to buy some from the Ming army and make the Ming army not interfere with his use of troops to the Ula tribe.

"The slaves of the Khan's intentions understand that Li Yongfang from Fushun is just a guerrilla, which can do much to me. The Khan might as well send envoys to see Li Dashun. This time, the Khan is summoned to Fushun Pass, and Li Dashun always has to express his feelings to us." Fei Yang Ancient Road.

Nurhaci shook his head and said, "No, you don't know, the general is already suspicious of me. He is old and doesn't want to see the wings of the eagle palace and break away from his wings."

"I understand that King Khan said this." In addition to being extremely brave, Fei Yanggu is also very smart. Combined with the recent attempts of Li Chengliang to win over and support Shurhazi, he immediately understood King Khan's concerns.

"When dealing with Han people, sometimes we don't necessarily need to deal with their senior officials. As long as we give enough benefits, the people at the bottom can meet our requirements."

Nurhaci smiled softly. At the age of fifty, he still looked so strong and heroic. However, even though he brought five thousand elite troops to Fushun Pass, he knew the character of Fushun General Li Yongfang. Nurhaci still dared not be entrusted. When he arrived in front of Fushun City, he dismounted from afar, asking Fei Yanggu to take out the money and hand it over to the gatekeepers, and asked them to report it on their behalf.

The gatekeepers knew that Jianzhou had stationed 5,000 elite soldiers at Fushun Pass and threatened to attack Fushun. Therefore, they were all surprised when they learned that the person who came was Nurhaci, the leader of the right guard of Jianzhou.

However, seeing the white silver, the gatekeepers immediately smiled and happily reported to Nurhaci.

"See?"

Nurhaci leaned toward Fei Yanggu and said, "It's still easy to use when it comes to the Han people. It's just a few taels of silver, and these Han soldiers ran away happily."

The Khan said so interestingly, Fei Yanggu couldn't help laughing: "I heard that this is called Menjing. Some people are good at using these names to make money, and they can make money even if they accumulate little."

"Then are you willing to check in this way?" Nurhaci stared at Fei Yanggu.

Fei Yanggu hurriedly said, "I dare not. The slaves followed the Khan King to fight and lived this life of licking blood on the knife all day long. Even if they collected the money, they would feel it was useless. If they carried it with them, they would feel it was cumbersome."

Nurhaci nodded and said, "No matter when, silver is not a good thing. You must remember that even if we, Jurchens, will become great people in the future, we can live without looking at the face of the Han people, and we cannot ask for money like this. Sometimes, if the silver will make mistakes, the minor will be punished at the least, and the worst will be lost. Otherwise, in order to collect the door Jing, you will make things difficult for visitors. I don’t know how many people you want to block back. As the Khan King, I am a hard-to-reach news and isolate it from the outside world. Isn’t it that way, the door Jing is a life-seeking little devil. If you want the door Jing or the death, you can choose it yourself!"

"How dare you, slaves!" Fei Yanggu changed his face in fear.

"I'm not talking about you,"

Nurhaci was about to say something, but saw Li Yongfang wearing military uniforms greeting him from the city gate, holding his fists and saluting, and smilingly said, "It turns out that the Grand Governor is here, and I have never been to welcome you. I'll forgive you for your crimes!"

Nurhaci was the governor of the Right Guard of Jianzhou in the Ming Dynasty. According to this, Nurhaci had no objection.

He walked a few steps quickly, clasped his fists and said, "I haven't seen General Li for some time. I miss you very much. I take the liberty to come to Fushun to pay my respects. Don't blame us for being abrupt. We Jurchens are not as good as you Han people. We only know how to treat others with enthusiasm and do not have those false rituals."

According to the Ming Dynasty official system, guerrillas were ranked in the general, deputy general, and after the general, they were in the garrison, before the general, there was actually no rank or a fixed number of personnel, and they were mostly recommended by the general. Giving people a respectful title to be a general is already a high priority.

Nurhaci called himself a general, and Li Yongfang felt it was enjoyed by his heart and said with a smile: "This is better, and he will show his temperament." He welcomed Nurhaci into the city and came to his guerrilla palace hall side by side to sit down for tea.

Nurhaci drank it in big gulp and praised: "General Li's tea is very good, it smells so good to the throat. But what I drink in Hetuala is a kind of bitter tea, which is really hard to swallow."

Li Yongfang laughed and waved his hand and said, "The governor came to Fushun to talk to me, Li Yongfang, right? It's OK. The governor raised his troops to Fushun Pass this time, but it scared me, Fushun soldiers and civilians. Now he is here alone. If you have anything, the governor will just tell me."

Nurhaci smiled slightly and looked at Fei Yanggu. Fei Yanggu hurriedly took out a few silver notes from his arms and put them silently on the table next to Li Yongfang.

"Over the years, General Li has taken care of him and was not respectful. General Li should not be too young." Nurha Que.

Li Yongfang glanced at a brief glance and knew that the number was 5,000 taels. He was very happy and said, "The Governor and I are not outsiders. If you have anything to say, why bother to give these things outside? Wouldn't this hurt our friendship for many years?"

"General Li doesn't have to think too much. Don't worry, I have nothing to ask for. I just want to meet with the adults and talk about the past. No matter what, if you say, in public, I and the general will serve the court; in private, the general and I are friendly neighbors in Jianzhou. If the general had not taken care of these years, I, Nurhaci, would not have been today."

When Li Yongfang heard him speak generously, he smiled and put away the silver notes, ordered the wine to be served, and the two of them drank carefully. After a few glasses of wine, Nurhaci sighed and said, "Mr. Li, the family must have had children in their marriage. If you want to say that the in-laws once turned against each other, but there are very few who will not interact until death, right?"

"Why did you suddenly sigh?" Li Yongfang put down his chopsticks and looked at Nurhaci.

"I have no relationship with Ye Hebeng, and I also married Ye Hege Gege as my concubine. Kebuzhai and Nalin Bulu have made many embarrassment with me, bullying Jianzhou for no reason, and they ignored the friendship of my uncle. Buzhai died in the chaos, and they did not regret it, but they made enemies with Jianzhou. Before their Ye He's daughter was about to die, they wanted to see her mother. I sent people to invite her again and again, but they refused to agree, which made my concubine Menggu die with her eyes open! Is it hateful?"

"This... shouldn't be so heartless."

Nurhaci gritted his teeth with tears in his eyes and said, "My concubine called her mother until her death. She kept saying a few sounds. Even the iron man's heart would cry. I was right beside her, but I was powerless. I must also understand the feeling in my heart. I must seek justice for her and let this anger go!"

"You want to attack Ye He, but you have to think about the heat and don't lose your composure. Otherwise, I will not be able to make excuses when the court asks you." Li Yongfang stood up and said, "The people stationed in Fushun City are all elite soldiers, and they are equipped with some firearms. I'll take you to see them."

"Oh?" Nurhaci's heart moved and said that was great.

At that moment, Li Yongfang brought Nurhaci to Fushun Schoolyard and ordered the firearm to line up for training. The three hundred soldiers were wearing light soft armor, red tassel felt hats, thin-soled combat boots, and each with four-foot-sized weapon on their shoulders. There was a long iron pipe in front and a wooden holder behind.

Li Yongfang pointed to the iron tubes and asked Nurhaci: "Have you seen this bird-beaked gun?"

Nurhaci shook his head and said, "I have seen it before, but I have never seen it so close. This thing is weird in style, and it cannot be cut, it cannot be stabbed, and it cannot be hit. What's the use?"

Li Yongfang laughed and said, "Don't underestimate it. This musket is so powerful! Just install three cents of gunpowder and three cents of lead bullets, and can shoot one hundred and fifty steps away, even birds in the forest can be shot down."

With a wave of his hand, a soldier came out to raise his gun and shot the target in the middle of the schoolyard. With a bang, a faint blue smoke came out of the gun mouth, which hit the bull's eye, and everyone shouted. The soldier took some black powder into the gunpowder jar below his waist, put it in the barrel, and used a thin rod to top it up, took out several lead bullets, and still sent it with the rod, lifted the gun and fired again.

Nurhaci saw the power of the musket and asked: "The musket is faster than an arrow, but it is slow to load medicine and ammunition. Once several enemy teams attack in turn, they may be afraid that the musket will not be able to load the bullet, so they will chop off their heads."

"The fire guns are loaded and fired quickly. If they can catch the bows and arrows, my 300-man firearm battalion will be worth the 2,000 iron cavalry in Jianzhou. If the enemy takes turns to rush, I will also take turns to shoot him. The gunmen of the firearm battalion stand in three rows in the formation, the knife hands and the gunmen stand on both wings, guarding each other, and not giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it."

After hearing this, Nurhaci suddenly signaled Fei Yanggu to leave the list. Fei Yanggu understood the meaning of King Khan, and immediately picked up a bow and rode his horse, shooting three arrows in a row, all of which were in the bull's eye. The soldier also shot two shots, and everyone cheered in unison.

Three arrows are better than two guns, Nurhaci knows it. If the horse is quick and the arrow is sharp, my Jianzhou really fights with your Ming army, but it will not allow your Ming army to load medicine safely.

"I wonder if General Li can sell a few muskets for me to go back to hunt tigers?" Although Nurhaci was not very concerned about the power of the musket, he still wanted to buy a few muskets from Li Yongfang and ask the men to make a lot of speculation, so he would avoid the loss of the gun in the future.

"Well..." Li Yongfang looked embarrassed, "The musket is a weapon in our army. The court is very strict. The governor is either unaware of it, even if you, the Jurchen tribes, don't have a single shot. If I sell it to you, I will turn around and call Li Shuai to know, but I will lose my head."

"General Li is unwilling to help. If he is willing to help, how could he care about this? Besides, the general also has to hunt a few times a year, and it is inevitable that the muskets will be exhausted." Nurhaci said, and took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and gently stuffed them into Li Yongfang's hand. "To be honest, General, I came to Fushun this time, in addition to reminiscing with the general, I also want to buy some armor and equipment from the general, and hope that the general will fulfill it."

"Oh, that's all." Li Yongfang put the silver notes into his sleeve without hesitation, "The governor and I both serve the court, so I will do my best."

"So, thank you General!" Nurhaci said happily.

"By the way, how long will the governor stay in Fushun Pass this time? If Eunuch Gao still doesn't pay the governor's money, the governor is really going to attack me Fushun? If that's the case, I have to prepare early, so as not to ask the governor to break the city." Li Yongzhen said with a smile.

Nurhaci coughed lightly and whispered: "General Li was joking. I don't have the courage to be an enemy of the court. This time I stationed troops in Fushun Pass is just to return Li Shuai's affection."

"oh?"

Li Yongfang knew that Nurhaci had a close relationship with Li Dashui in Shenyang, and also knew that Nurhaci could not suddenly jump up and ask Gao Huai to pay back the money. If he really had the courage, he would have jumped a few years ago, so why would he be today?

Therefore, there is probably a lot of work on this matter.

I wanted to ask clearly, but I thought that Nurhaci would definitely not tell him. I pondered for a moment, smiled and asked Nurhaci to go to his mansion to discuss the military affairs in detail.

At this time, the garrison Wang Mingyin came over with a document urgently handed over. Seeing Guerrilla and Nurhaci together, Wang Mingyin couldn't help but mutter in his heart, dissatisfied with this.

But as a subordinate, Wang Mingyin did not dare to attack, so he only submitted it to Li Yongfang urgently.

After seeing the urgent delivery, Li Yongfang's expression suddenly became extremely strange.

Seeing this, Nurhaci asked curiously: "General Li, what happened?"

"Governor see for yourself."

Li Yongfang said that, and handed the document directly to Nurhaci. This action not only shocked Nurhaci, but also shocked Wang Mingyin: This was the document sent by Li Dashui, Shenyang, why did Lord Li give it to the people of Jianzhou?

Confused, Nurhaci looked down at the official document. He had served in the Ming army and knew a lot of Chinese characters, so there was no problem reading the official document.

"The angel sent by the court appointed General Li to accompany me to Jianzhou... to pay back the money?"
