Chapter 219 We still have hope

The ancestors of the Yehe tribe were the Tumote tribe of Mongolia. Later, the Hulun Nara tribe was destroyed and the surname was changed to the Nara tribe.

Yehe City was close to Kaiyuan, an important town in the Ming Dynasty, and controlled the Jianzhou Gongdao. It was unique. With this city, after a hundred years of accumulation, Yehe finally became the leader of the four Jurchen tribes in Haixi.

However, since the Battle of the Nine Tribes, Ye He was severely injured by Jianzhou, just like the other three tribes in Haixi. After his Beilebu Village was killed in this battle, Nurhaci cut the body into two and sent it back to Ye He. From then on, the two families formed an indissoluble bondage.

In the past decade, Yehe and Jianzhou had several wars of varying scales. Yehe was defeated, and Huifa and Hada, who were from the four Western Jurchen tribes in Shanghai, were annexed by Nurhaci. Yehe was no longer able to resist Nurhaci.

As a last resort, Buzhai's younger brother Nalin Bulu thought of marrying Dongge, the first beauty of the Jurchen, to Nurhaci, in exchange for Yehe's peace, but this proposal was firmly opposed by Dongge.

In order to avenge her father, Dong Ge asked his brother Buyanggu to announce to the Jurchen tribes that she would marry whoever could avenge her.

Nalin Bulu could not stop Dongge and Buyanggu's decision, and died of illness due to concern. His younger brother Jin Taiji inherited the position of Yehebeile.

Jin Taiji's sister Menggu married Nurhaci twenty years ago and gave birth to Nurhaci's eighth son Hongtai for Nurhaci, so Jin Taiji and Nurhaci are relationships with their uncles.

However, Menggu had passed away six years ago, and Yehe and Jianzhou had a deep hatred, so after Jin Taiji succeeded to the throne, he was consistent with Dongge's attitude towards Jianzhou.

In recent years, Nurhaci has been busy conquering Huifa, Ula, Hada, and the Korean countries, and the Korqin Mongols have not taken care of Ye He for the time being, allowing Ye He to breathe.

But even so, Ye He's population could not flourish anymore. At present, even the elderly, weak, women and children in Ye He City only had more than 7,000 soldiers, and only more than 3,000 soldiers could fight. At its peak, Ye He had more than 50,000 soldiers, and nearly 20,000 elite soldiers, which established the position of the head of the Jurchens in Haixi.

It has to be said that Dong Ge has a strong position in the minds of the Jurchens, and it is indeed awesome. After Xun Marriage, several men raised troops to attack Jianzhou for Ye He, but they all died.

The head was lost and the head was captured. To this day, Dong Ge still has no official husband. In private, the Jurchens call her "old girl".

After all, Brother Dong is now twenty-seven years old. At this age, he is a very old girl, whether he is in the Han or the Jurchens.

The Jurchen man was useless, and Brother Dong was not discouraged. She turned her eyes to the Han men.

However, looking around Liaodong, none of the Han men seemed to be willing to work for her or the Jurchens. Moreover, there was a mountain above those men's heads - Li Chengliang, one day, the Ming generals in Liaodong could not help Ye He against his wishes.

With the intention of success, Brother Dong still found a man who was willing to help her, although this man was a eunuch.

When she told her brother Bu Yanggu that she had a good time with Gao Huai, the Liaodong Mining Supervisor, and Gao Huai was willing to help her deal with Nurhaci, Bu Yanggu's heart was collapsed at that time.

He could accept all the requests from his sister, and was willing to fight with his father-killing enemies to the end. He would sleep with his sister like a prostitute, and turn a blind eye to his sister. However, this did not mean that he had to accept a eunuch as his brother-in-law.

The brother and sister argued all night. The next day, Buyanggu's concubine looked at her husband's red eyes, entered the house without saying a word and fell asleep.

No one knew what the brother and sister had quarreled, but after that, Yehe's situation improved.

Before this, Nurhaci's Jianzhou monopolized the benefits of northern minks, ginseng and pearls, which made the Yehe people very dissatisfied. However, they were forced to sell goods to Jianzhou at a low price due to the powerful military front of Jianzhou. Now, a Han caravan came to Yehe to purchase their goods, but the Jianzhou people did not dare to ask about this.

In addition to goods being sold at high prices, there are also food and weapons to Yehe City from time to time. The Yehe people outside also heard that the tax soldiers in Liaodong often crossed the border and forced to buy and sell on the territory of Jianzhou people, which made the arrogant Jianzhou people who were accustomed to being angry and dared not speak out.

These are undoubtedly great news for Ye He.

If it can continue, Ye He will definitely be able to turn over the population within ten years.

In Liaodong, the population of a tribe determines everything about a tribe.

With people and excellent weapons, the tribe can continue to grow and one day it will be able to restore its former glory.

The Baylors finally knew who was secretly helping them, and what deal their princess made with that person.

Although there is shame, it is not worth mentioning compared to the prosperity of the tribe.

Jin Taiji even prepared to visit the Han eunuch at the tax supervision office of Shanhaiguan in person to express his greatest respect.

However, the Ming Dynasty closed its army and smashed all this. When the news reached Yehe, Jin Taiji and Bu Yanggu knew that Yehe's good days had come to an end.

Some stern old men brought out Nalinbulu's proposal again, believing that without the support of the Ming Dynasty, it would be difficult for them to gain a foothold in Yehe City. It would be better to marry Dong Ge while Nurhaci had not yet launched an army to fight against him and formally form an alliance with Jianzhou to preserve the tribe.

The old man's worries make sense. Because of Gao Huai, Nurhaci did not dare to attack Ye He. After all, he was nominally a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and Gao Huai was a confidant of the Ming Dynasty emperor. He would never have a good end if he offended him and Jianzhou.

But now Gao Huai is losing power and Nurhaci has Li Chengliang's side entourage, so how can he ignore the growing Ye He?

Buyanggu was shaken, but he loved his sister since he was a child, so he decided to persuade Brother Dong. However, Brother Dong disappeared during this period and no one knew where she went.

Jin Taiji was still tough, but he couldn't stand the persuasion of the elderly, so he made a statement that everything would be based on Brother Dong's own opinions.

He would not force his niece to marry his father-killer enemy.

Brother Dong came back last night. She seemed very tired and fell asleep in her house as soon as she came back.

Before dawn, Jin Taiji and the others came over who knew the news, and several old men also stayed outside Dong Ge's house.

Brother Dong was woken up, and the one who woke her up was Buyanggu's concubine.

"Brother Dong, in the past, Hada tribe was comparable to my Yehe tribe, but Menggebulu of Hada tribe and uncles and nephews fought against each other, so we Yehe could only take advantage of the civil strife to dominate Haixi, but Nurhaci was not Menggebulu and Neshang, how could it be as easy as they did!...For more than ten years, many people in Yehe have sacrificed their lives for revenge. Seeing that there are fewer people in this city day by day, Dong Ge, we can't continue like this!" Baidria is Yehe's old man, and he is also the most trusted subordinate of Dong Ge's father Buzhai. For the lives of all the tribes, even if Baidria needs to be supported by someone to walk, he is determined to come and persuade Dong Ge.

"There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Jianzhou now. If Henurhaci leads his troops to attack our Yehe, what can we use to stop us? Just because of these thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people? Brother Dong, you have to understand that his Iron Cavalry in Jianzhou is really here to kill me, and I, Yehe, let them go in!... Brother Dong, you should marry me and stop doing meaningless things anymore!"

"You younger generations have no ability. They only know how to speak loudly and think that Nurhaci is easy to deal with. But you must know that Nurhaci's father and ancestor were killed by the government army. They raised their troops with thirteen pairs of armor and went back thousands of miles to hunt down their enemies and killed Nikanwailan. The court gave him thirty imperial edicts and thirty horses, and sent back his father and ancestor's coffin and gave him the imperial edict. Can we Yehe deal with such a ruthless person?" Qingyin Anyu survived the battle of the Nine Tribes, and he was already a frightened bird to Nurhaci.

But as soon as he said something, Dong Ge said with a brow and said fiercely: "Nurhaci is my father-killing enemy. How can I forget the irreconcilable grudge and serve the thief!... Don't say it again. In this life, my Dong Ge would rather marry those peddlers than marry him Nurhaci!"

"Oh!" Jingyin An Yu stamped her feet anxiously.

Baidria and others knew that Dong Ge was already a big temper and did not dare to force her to marry him. But when he thought that Nurhaci was aggressive, if he brought troops to fight, Ye He had no choice but to sigh, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing this, Bu Yanggu hesitated and couldn't help but come forward to persuade Brother Dong: "Sister, don't be too arrogant. Nurhaci really wants to kill him. Our Yehe men, women, young and old are thousands of lives! Are you cruel?"

Brother Dong gritted his silver teeth and said, "Brother, don't persuade me. As your son, you don't want to avenge Ama, but my daughter wants to!"

Buyangguzhi was there, he was bloody, otherwise he would not have agreed to his sister at the beginning.

"Okay, since Brother Dong doesn't want to, don't force her. Is it true that we Ye He really falls to the point of forcing women to have a chance to survive?" Jin Taiji stood up and glanced at the old men.

"Even if Brother Dong doesn't want to marry, Bele has to find a way to calm Nurhaci's anger. I heard that Nurhaci often tells people that I, Yehe, are his biggest concern." Baidria shook his head and took the old people reluctantly out.

After everyone left, Jin Taiji frowned, walked to Dong Ge, looked at her, and said in a deep voice: "They are all gone. Now tell uncle, what else can we rely on? Have you been asking outside for information these days? Is that high eunuch still possible to be activated by the emperor?"

Upon hearing this, Bu Yanggu also looked at his sister with concern.

Brother Dong shook his head: "Gao Huai has been locked by the emperor, so he can't go back to Liaodong again."

"If this is the case, we Yehe will make the worst plan." Jin Taiji looked depressed, and Bu Yanggu also looked worried.

Brother Dong bit his thin lips and said, "Uncle, we still have hope."

"What?" Jin Taiji and Bu Yanggu asked at the same time.
