Mr. Xia was very different from the man she died. To be precise, he was different from most of the men in Hetuala. He was not as fierce as a tiger or leopard, nor was he as dull as a roe deer. His expression was always
I can't say whether it's warm or cold, a bit like Yue Tuo Beile.
When Ji Lantai went to the household department to deliver food to the hostess, she met Mr. Xia several times. She was in her lusty youth and fell in love with this Ming Dynasty man.
When Ji Lantai hooked up with Tong Xiyu's servant Li Gui, it became less awkward later on. This was because while enjoying physical satisfaction, he secretly thought of Li Gui as Mr. Xia.
Mu Zaohua caught the unexpected joy in Ji Lantai's eyes, which might encourage this foreign subordinate's motivation to run errands.
Mr. Wu and Mrs. Zheng both emphasized that when setting up a situation, one must make full use of it. In addition to the main purpose, one should also identify friends and foes as much as possible.
Therefore, before people, including Xia Wenming, pass the test, "Let Mr. Xia marry you" is just a cake drawn on paper.
"Jilantai," Mu Zaohua suddenly lowered her voice and said, "I don't like Zakshan. This time, give him a try for me."
…
With enough food to eat, Hetuala lived a relatively decent year.
Just after the first lunar month, in front of the main office of the Khan Palace, a knight dismounted, stood outside the threshold of the meeting hall, and said loudly: "Great Khan, the sentinel from the north has sent a message. Horqin Gege's team will arrive in about three or four days' walk."
Hetuala. There are nearly a hundred horses in the dowry."
After hearing the report, Nurhachi felt very happy.
It seems that the Ming Dynasty did not go to Horqin to make trouble like they did with Chahar. Horqin's Taijis, in accordance with the previous engagement, sent their daughters over for marriage.
Huang Taiji followed his father's thoughts and respectfully suggested: "Amma, among the large tribes in Mongolia, after taking Horqin, we have to establish good relations with Karaqin. With the Ming Dynasty, we can trade with Chahar and rebuild
Daning Town's style, my son guesses, they will also go to Haraqin next."
Yue Tuan on the side also echoed: "Great Khan, when my grandson was in Chongming, I saw Zheng's way. She knows how to use benefits to lure local snakes to be led by her. If there is a statue of Karaqin
Lin Danhan turned to the Ming Dynasty like that, and Horqin and his gang of Taijis may have changed their minds."
Nurhaci nodded with satisfaction.
The Haixi Jurchens also used horses, but as war horses, they were not as good as the horses sent or sold by the Mongolian ministries. If they wanted to complete a more grand conquest than Genghis Khan, the Eight Banners disciples were indispensable for the horses imported from Mongolia.
Huang Taiji and Yue Tuo's uncle and nephew are indeed among the Jurchen nobles at present, whose minds are most like their own.
When Nurhachi thought of this, he saw the two empty chairs in the meeting hall, and the look of joy on his face faded.
"Why are Daishan and Mang Gurtai sick again? Didn't they look better during the family reunion dinner?"
Yue Tuo replied: "When my grandson paid New Year's greetings to the two eldest Belles in the first month of the year, they looked really good."
Huang Taiji frowned and said, "Did you deliberately avoid coming to discuss matters due to illness and smoke the divine crow ointment in the mansion?"
Yue Tuo caught a glimpse of the fierceness flashing in Nurhachi's eyes, and rushed to report: "My grandson didn't dare to offend the two uncles, so he asked Mu Zaohua directly. The slave said that she didn't have the crow ointment on her hand. Moreover.
, she also dissuaded Sanbeile from continuing to smoke, saying that she was afraid that people would think that Sanbeile's physical weakness was due to smoking Shencrow Cream."
Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes almost invisible.
His sudden words were to test this loyal nephew to see if he was attracted to the Nikan woman and would defend her.
Now, after getting the answer he wanted, Huang Taiji will certainly not continue to ignite Nurhachi's doubts.
If the divine crow ointment was really harmful to the Jurchens' constitution, he wished Mang Gurtai would smoke more of it.
Huang Taiji then nodded and said sincerely: "Yue Tuo is right. Doesn't this divine crow ointment also come from afurong? Previously, Ama drank the soup of afurong shells and recovered from intestinal diseases. I think that's why
It tastes like a good medicine. Besides, I see that woman also smokes divine crow ointment."
Nurhaci held up his knees and pondered for a moment, but he still couldn't suppress his anger.
"You guys, after the discussion is over, follow me to Mang Gurtai's mansion to have a look..."
After a while, the guard brought someone to the door.
"Great Khan, Bao Yi Zakshan of Hubu Ezhen's family has something important to report to Great Khan."
…
Half an hour later, the cannon foundry east of Sanbeile Mansion.
Nurhachi stared at the copper blocks that his attendants brought out from the wooden house. Behind him lay seven or eight trembling craftsmen. Next to him stood Yue Tuan, who looked solemn, and Huang Taiji, who looked slightly suspicious.
"Yue Tuo, look carefully. Are these coppers the Japanese copper you are talking about, or the brass from the Ming Dynasty in the west?"
No matter how much Yue Tuo wanted to protect Mu Zaohua, he had no choice at this time. Hetuala went to Huining to collect copper. In addition to him and Mu Zaohua, there were other bannermen and attendants. Moreover, Huang Taiji's artillery factory,
There is also Japanese copper, which cannot be concealed at all.
Yue Tuo could only say in a deep voice: "Hui Dahan, these should be brass."
Nurhachi said calmly: "How to tell?"
"Brass is as bright as gold, with only blue-green in it. On the other hand, Japanese copper has purple or dark red on its surface, so it is also called red copper."
As soon as he said these words, Zak Shan, who was also kneeling on the ground, felt his heart finally fall to the ground.
Two days ago, when Ji Lantai and he were on their way to inspect the farmland under Mu Zaohua's name, he said with embarrassment that he had discovered that Mu Zaohua and other Zhenglan Banners who were going to Huining to transport copper had concealed the truth.
He found out about the robbery of the copper mine and got away with it by stacking the brass in the yard.
Zak Shan asked Ji Lantai why he didn't report it to the Great Khan, and Ji Lantai wondered why. The master of Zaohua was very kind to him, and he didn't want the seller to seek glory in exchange for the opportunity to get rid of his cloaked identity.
At this moment, Zak Shan saw that he had indeed made the right bet. He leaned closer to Nurhachi in a humble and eager manner, and said in a coquettish tone: "The Great Khan is the real son of all the slaves of our Daikin, and Zaohua'e is the real one."
If you have lied to the Great Khan, you are no longer worthy of being the slave's master. The slave must report to the Great Khan immediately."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Nurhachi looked down at the bare head on the ground and chuckled: "Well, you are a good slave who knows your duty."
As soon as he said these words of approval or ridicule, Mu Zaohua was brought in by two of Nurhaci's personal guards.
The moment she knelt down, Mu Zaohua looked at Yue Tuo in horror.
Yue Tuo felt his heart twitching again, but he suppressed his nervousness and said in a calm tone: "The Khan has something to ask you, just tell the truth."
Mu Zaohua obviously also saw the copper block on the ground. Before Nurhachi could say anything, she said in a trembling voice: "Excuse me, the Khan, but this slave is afraid that a single oversight will become a major crime and be punished."
Because the wrapping was a small matter and I could no longer build cannons for Dajin, I was really unwilling to do so, so I brought some brass first. But the slave did this just to avoid trouble. He waited until he went to Huining in March to collect the Japanese copper.
You can pour the barrel as usual."
Nurhachi stared at Mu Zaohua coldly for a moment, then turned to ask Huang Taiji: "You and I told you that it's not possible to use copper blocks from the Ming Dynasty to make cannons, right?"
Huang Taiji replied: "The copper blocks in the Ming Dynasty had a lot of miscellaneous materials and were difficult to smelt. The copper liquid cooled unevenly during pouring. Later, when we went into battle and fired the cannon, the barrel was prone to explosion. Therefore, the part used by my son was also used.
The Japanese copper brought back by Yue Tuo."
Nurhachi turned his eyes and found that Yue Tuo had wandered to the other side of the courtyard and then entered the smelting room with a roaring fire.
Soon, he ended his investigation and walked quickly to Nurhaci.
"Khan, what looks like a cannon barrel over there is either a clay mold or a wax mold. The smelting room is also full of molten iron and iron blocks, not copper."
Mu Zaohua, who was lying on the ground, added as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Yes, Khan, the reason why mixed copper cannot be used was the slave who took the initiative to say it. How could a slave really use mixed copper to make cannons?
"
Nurhachi ignored her and walked to Jiangtou's head.
The carpenter's surname was Ji, a Han Chinese, and it was the person Mu Zaohua always insisted on calling "sir". Even when Sanbeile Manggurtai occasionally came to visit the artillery range, Mu Zaohua did not change his name to Ji Cartmaster.
slave".
"Do you know that copper is wrong?" Nurhachi asked solemnly.
Carpenter Ji's head was shaking like a sieve, and he managed to speak: "Hui, Hui Khan, Zaohua Ezhen said early in the morning that copper was a bit fishy, so he ordered his slaves to try making small iron cannons first, without using copper. Ezhen will use the copper
It's locked in the shed, and the key is only kept by the slave. The slave doesn't dare to look more, because after the copper block is melted and purified, it will be valuable even if it is not used to make firearms. The slave must avoid suspicion and not go in and out of the shed often."
Nurhachi's expression softened a little, and he turned around and asked Mu Zaohua: "Then where did you get these miscellaneous coppers?"
