Chapter 16: Jurchens come to vote (3)

When Guni heard Zhu Zhi speak the Jurchen saying, he felt much more intimate and said, "Since your highness said that, that old guy won't hide it anymore.

In the war last year, our Jianzhou Jurchens lost more than 3,000 warriors, almost every family was mourning, and my eldest son Enji died on the battlefield. The area around Nadan Mansion was seized by Zahaqi, and cattle, sheep and horses suffered heavy losses.

The revenge of losing my son and losing the land is irreconcilable. Please accept our surrender and send heavenly soldiers to avenge our Jianzhou Jurchens."

Revenge? Just ask me to be the boss to fight you? Zhu Zhi took a sip of tea and said, "Can you talk about the true strength of this Haixi Jurgin?"

Guni said: "There are more than 30 tribes of the Jurchens in Haixi, with more than 200,000 people in the mouth, of which more than 50,000 are armored. The people in Haixi mainly focus on fishing and hunting, and have always been fierce. In addition, Zahaqi is ambitious, and has developed rapidly over the years.

Last year, our Jianzhou Jurchens finally raised 20,000 warriors, but they are not enemies. And recently Zahaqi contacted the savage Jurchens in Lingbei to serve as a strong support. Your Highness must be on guard.”

Zhu Zhi thought that if the savage girl's true strength was added, Zahaqi would have more than 50,000 troops.

Be good, this is a big guy. What does the saying come true? Although the Jurchens are not as good as those in later generations, that is not a joke. If they are not taken seriously, Liaodong will be surrounded by the three sides of Jurchens, Mongolia and Peking.

Cleaning the backyard was originally the work Zhu Zhi had to do, but now it is just a favor.

But on the surface, Zhu Zhi looked embarrassed and said, "Good, you already have such a strong force, it seems quite tricky."

Guni said, "Are you still afraid of your highness?"

Hehe, this old man actually used a trick to provoke him, so he used the trick. Zhu Zhi slapped his chair and said, "I'm afraid of these clowns who jumped into the sky?"

Guni quickly flattered: "That's it. That's it, how can Zahaqi resist the power of the Celestial Empire?" He was both provocative and slapped. This old man was quite capable. But he met the King of Liao.

Zhu Zhi said: "What do you want after defeating the Haixi Jurchens?"

Guni said: "We only want to return to the land of our ancestors in the Nadan Mansion area, and also ask the Heavenly Dynasty to give us a canonization, teach us farming techniques, and let us live and work in peace and contentment for generations."

Zhu Zhi said: "If this is the case, I have not seen the court get any benefits." Now it is time to bargain.

Guni said: "Zhaqi has countless treasures in Zalaru. Countless good horses, cattle and sheep will belong to His Highness at that time.

"Hehe, this is using plums from afar to quench thirst for Liaodong, and the Jianzhou Jurchens seemed to have no obligation to fulfill any obligations. How could there be such a cheap thing in the world?

Zhu Zhi sneered: "Hehe, the things the patriarch said are the moon in the sky, and I can't touch it."

Guni gritted his teeth and said, "After the inner supporters, the Jianzhou Jurchens paid 500 good horses to the court every year. Five hundred taels of gold, what do you think about your Highness?"

After talking for a long time, Guni still wanted to maintain an independent tribe. Is there such a cheap thing? Let the Ming army conquer you. Then be a vassal of your own, don’t think Zhu Zhi is a fool, okay?

Zhu Zhi said: "If this is the case, then the clan leader will be too insincere. My life in the Ming Dynasty warriors is only worth this little money? Humph. Save guests."

Guni knew that Zhu Zhi was not the same as before, so he showed off a Ming Dynasty official who looked like a great power in the Celestial Kingdom. It seemed that he would have to make some blood. He said, "Slow, slow, easy to discuss, otherwise I would like to ask Your Highness to discuss the conditions."

Zhu Zhi said seriously: "Okay, I will have clear water. First.

The Ming Dynasty sent troops to help you defeat Zahaqi and avenge you; second, all the prisoners obtained in the war were sent to the Jianzhou Jurchens as slaves; third, in the future, at 60% of the current price, we will provide you with salt and iron tools and other supplies; fourth, we will provide you with farming techniques, tools, seeds, etc.; fifth, from then on, you will be the people of the Ming Dynasty and will be protected by the court.

But, I must ensure that these kings have the conditions. First, the Jianzhou tribe is attached to them and accept the imperial enthronement.

At the same time, they moved to the Zhongwei of Chenyang to the Liaohaiwei area. Those who were willing to farm should provide land; those who were unwilling to farm land should engage in animal husbandry, raise horses, cattle and sheep, and all the people paid taxes in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty; second, the Jianzhou ministries sent 5,000 warriors to participate in the Liaodong Army, and received training and dispatch by the king, becoming part of the Liaodong Army. Military households could be exempted from taxes for two years; third, all the land of the Jurchens in Haixi was the land of the court, and the Jianzhou ministries had no right to own it.

This is the condition of this king and the final decision. The patriarch should consider it."

Listening to Zhu Zhi's words, Guni's face was sometimes red and sometimes green. It can be said that Zhu Zhi's conditions were quite harsh, which was equivalent to annexing the Jianzhou Jurchens under the Ming Dynasty. This was far from what Guni had imagined at the beginning, how could he agree?

Guni said with a gloomy face: "Your Highness's conditions are forbidden to accept Guni. If so, I have to say goodbye."

Zhu Zhi laughed loudly, and suddenly stopped laughing: "Gunny, I'll make it clear to you today. Even if you don't come, I will deal with Zahaqi, the jumping clown.

Now is just giving you a chance to become the people of the Ming Dynasty, and you don’t want to have the idea of ​​an independent kingdom.

The king's hands are holding wheat ears in one hand and saber in the other. Are you willing to accept wheat ears or saber?" His eyes stared at Guni aggressively.

Guni said: "Wouldn't you be afraid that we will switch to Zahazi with such harsh conditions?"

Zhu Zhi said, "Go and vote. He killed your eldest son and defeated you many times. With this strength, you will be like a slave when you go to him.

Even if he took you in, Baishan and Hei Shui knew that Guni surrendered to his enemy's knees, what kind of face would you have?"

Sweat oozing from Guni's forehead, he found that he was a self-invested man. It was impossible to defect to Zahaqi. The hatred between the Haixi Jurchens and the Jianzhou Jurchens was too deep... Guni was stunned and couldn't speak.

Zhu Zhi looked at Guni coldly while drinking tea, waiting for him to speak. After a glance, when he saw Guni's two children, Nima's face was full of anger, his black eyes were wide open, staring at him with a tight roundness, his pretty face turned red, as if he was about to eat himself.

Zhu Zhi was happy. It turned out that she was so cute when she was angry. The Hu children always kept going straight and were just sarcastic. She was like she wanted to come up and eat Zhu Zhi.

After a while, Guni sighed and said, "I have accepted your highness's conditions. There is only one thing: Nadan Mansion is the place where our clan's ancestral tomb is located. I hope that our Jianzhou Jurchens can retain that land."

Zhu Zhi smiled and said, in the face of cruel reality, Guni was finally willing to lower his noble head. Isn’t it just to keep the ancestral tomb? It can still be given to him. Zhu Zhi agreed to his counter-off.

But as soon as he looked up, he saw Guni smiled and wrinkled into wrinkles, and his pair of eyes as big as mung beans, and Guni slipped wherever he saw him.

Zhu Zhi felt indescribable, why did he seem to have taken advantage of him?

Zhu Zhi ordered people to take out the map and draw a "limited area" with Guni on the map. Guni pointed out the location of Nadan Mansion to him, and saw a slender blue oval on the Nadan Mansion, with the words Songhua Lake marked next to it.

A small tail of Songhua Lake passes through Nadan Mansion...

Yang Rong was responsible for drafting the agreement between the two sides. After some bargaining, Yang Rong and Guni finally found the "Jourchen clauses" that stipulated the rights and obligations of both sides.
