After coming out of Feng Mansion, the group couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, especially Buyangu who seemed a little excited.
Feng Ziying’s attitude did not change when he was given a specific list of quantities, which made Buyangu feel much more at ease.
Even Buyangu himself felt that the amount requested was a bit large before, and he was a little hesitant for a while, but Netu's encouragement strengthened his confidence.
Even if the lion opens his mouth, it is just a bargaining process. If the other party is not frightened by the list he handed over, it means that the other party recognizes his own strength and value to the Great Zhou.
“Burhangu, Niyahan, this is your first time in Dazhou, how do you feel?” Buyangu suppressed the excitement and joy in his heart and turned around to ask.
Even though they had been in the capital for a few days, Burhanggu and Niyahan still felt that as these Han people said, they and their group were just like a group of savages.
Of course Netu is not. She has lived in the capital city for ten or twenty years, nor is Buyangu and Busia Mara. They have been to the capital city and have already experienced it, but they are really like it.
This was the first time they had seen such a huge city, such a large population, such a bustling market, and such an abundance of goods that they could not handle it. Even when they were sleeping and dreaming, their dreams were full of what they had seen in the past few days.
everything of.
They even felt like a child who had never grown up. They had never seen or heard of many things. The wealth and prosperity of the Zhou Dynasty were far beyond their imagination and could not even be described by imagination.
"Brother, Niyahan and I have never imagined that the capital city of Zhou Dynasty is such a wonderful and prosperous city. I'm afraid the population on a few streets is more than the population of our entire Yehe tribe.
?" Burhanggu couldn't help but licked his lips.
"With such a large population in the Zhou Dynasty, why are they still afraid of the Jurchens in Jianzhou? How many people can there be in Jianzhou Jurchens? The population of this capital city is several times larger than the Jurchen population in Jianzhou, right? The Jurchens in Jianzhou are richer than us.
But it is limited. How can it be compared with the Great Zhou? It’s less than one percent, right? Brother, didn’t you say that the Great Zhou has dozens of cities like this? Even if they are not as big as the Capital City, even if these cities only have the Capital City
It is as big as one-tenth of the Zhou Dynasty and has only one-tenth of the population. How can Jianzhou Jurchens challenge the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
Burhangu’s question was a bit difficult to answer. Buyangu glanced at Netu, who was also thinking.
"There is nothing difficult to answer, because Liaodong is only a corner of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Jianzhou Jurchen is only an enemy of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are many enemies of the Great Zhou Dynasty, including the Mongols, the Japanese on the sea, and there are many people in the south who are dissatisfied with the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The barbarians in the border areas of Zhou, and even within Dazhou, there are many people who are dissatisfied with Shuerhaqi's attitude towards Nurhaci, and may rise up in rebellion at any time. Therefore, although Dazhou is rich and prosperous on the surface, he wants to fight with clenched fists.
, but it’s not easy, and you may even hurt yourself if you don’t pay attention.” Busia Mara said calmly.
Buyangu originally did not want Busia Mara to come to Beijing this time, but Busia Mara had to come.
From her own words, it doesn't make much sense to stay in the Ye He tribe. Now the survival of the Ye He tribe completely depends on the attitude of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Great Zhou Dynasty can afford to lose Liaodong, but once the Ye He tribe is defeated, it will be a personal loss.
The ending of the death race is annihilation, so as long as there is any hope, she hopes to fight for it to the maximum extent.
"Busiya Mara is right. Although the Great Zhou Dynasty was rich and powerful, he not only had many external enemies, the Jianzhou Jurchens were just one of them. The Mongolian tribes in the north and some Mughals in the west were more critical.
There are also many problems within it. I have been in the capital city for ten or twenty years, and I know that there is a missionary system similar to our shamanism. However, they have not been recognized by the court, so they have always intended to rebel. This may be the reason for the great Zhou Dynasty.
The greatest danger,..."
Netu’s understanding of Dazhou is much clearer and more accurate than others. “What we have seen is the richest and most prosperous side of Dazhou. Dazhou is so big that it also has a lot of poverty and hardship. It is said that in
In the northwest border areas, when there is a disaster year, countless people starve to death, and this happens almost every year. Either there is a disaster here, or there is a disaster there. In order to keep their stomachs full and not starve to death, people there
often rise up in rebellion..."
Everyone was silent. Although Ye He's tribe encountered disaster years and even starved to death, the situation was not that many. It was more caused by the harsh natural environment that caused more deaths from diseases. Of course, more young and middle-aged people died.
It's still because of the war.
Situations like this, where many people starve to death every year, are honestly rare to see in Yehebe.
"The Great Zhou Dynasty is too big, and its situation is too complicated, beyond our ability to understand." Buyangu shook his head, "What we have to do is how to make Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan accept our request and
Go and lobby the Zhou court for us."
“Brother, what chance do you think this little Feng Xiuzhan has of accepting our request?” Busia Mala asked in a deep voice.
Buyangu hesitated for a moment and glanced at Netu, who also had a cautious look on his face.
"In my opinion, this Xiao Feng Xiu Zhuan should be the person in the Zhou Dynasty who is most aware of the danger of the Jurchens in Jianzhou. But the problem is that he is just a Hanlin Academy Xiu Zhuan. Even if his father is the governor of Jiliao,
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, civilian officials were in power, and Xiao Feng Xiu Zhuan also had a great influence. However, the internal affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not necessarily have such a clear and profound understanding of this. I am not convinced about our next step in convincing the two chief officers of the Great Zhou War Department.
They don’t have too much hope. Although they also have deep hostility towards the Jianzhou Jurchens, they don’t think we can play a big role in it.”
“In the final analysis, we are still too weak.” Buyangu sighed, “otherwise, why would we have to ask for help from the Great Zhou Dynasty.”
"To Da Zhou, we are just a chess piece. It depends on whether our chess piece is useful enough. But for us, Da Zhou is the only aid for the survival of our Ye He tribe, so we can only
It's a desperate move." Netu said in a heavy tone, "But this little Feng Xiuzhuan has a bright future. I am very optimistic about his future career in the Zhou Dynasty. Maybe we can bet on him."
"Then the gold sand, ginseng velvet and fur we left behind are too little?" Niyahan couldn't help but interject, giving him the impression that these Zhou Dynasties, from generals to officials, all like these things.
"He won't accept more than that. Do you think such a young official with a bright future will accept these things from outsiders?" Netu shook his head, "As far as I know, the Feng family is not poor. They have a lot of business and countless businessmen.
I offered a high price for a meeting with him, even up to several hundred taels of silver, but he turned me away. This is not a person who can be bribed."
"Then he must have some weakness?" Burhanggu said unconvinced: "We have seen many military generals and officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty. They are all greedy people. How can they be so honest and fair?"
Netu hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He just glanced at Buyangu meaningfully.
Buyangu seemed to have received the signal, and frowned angrily, but in the end he sighed sadly and shook his head.

“Wen Yan, what do you think?” Wang Wenyan came out of the quiet room next to him after everyone in the Ye He tribe left. He listened to the conversation between the Ye He tribe and Feng Ziying.
Once "Today's News" got on track, Wang Wenyan began to hand over all this work to Cao Yu, and Cao Yu was content to take over the editorship of "Today's News" and the overall work of the printing press.
Wang Wenyan has realized that he will start to fully intervene in all Feng Ziying's affairs as Feng Ziying's chief staff and think tank. In fact, Feng Ziying has also begun to open up all the resources and information she has to Wang Wenyan. Only in this way Wang Wenyan
Only Wenyan can integrate all the resources they brought from Lin Ruhai to achieve the best allocation.
"I have been learning about the relevant situation in Liaodong during this period. To be honest, sir, I still know a little less about this aspect. I don't know much about the power and complex relationships of the various parties outside the Guan, as well as the imperial court's views on the future situation in Liaodong.
plan, so it is difficult to make a more accurate judgment.”
Wang Wenyan did not expect that Feng Ziying would give him a big question as soon as he arrived.
He is not the head of the Ministry of War, and does not have that deep knowledge of situations involving border military affairs, so in many cases it is just a difficult process of exploration and familiarity.
"Well, it's normal. No one is born familiar with it. It takes a process. But if you have any questions, you can ask me directly. I think I am relatively familiar with the situation in the Liaodong border." Feng Ziying was very calm and confident.
.
"As for the attitude of the imperial court, it is also more complicated. Liaodong must not give up. They also admit that the Jianzhou Jurchens are dangerous, but they also feel that the threat of the Jianzhou Jurchens will not endanger the rule of Zhou in Liaodong within a certain period of time, especially
After my father took a series of measures to contain Nurhachi's offensive last year, their confidence became stronger, but I don't agree with their views."
"Do you think the Jianzhou Jurchens have the power to change the situation in Liaodong, but they are still gathering strength now?" Of course Wang Wenyan is not ignorant of the situation in Liaodong. He has heard it introduced by Feng Ziying for so long, and then collected it from all aspects.
I got some information to support it, and naturally I learned a lot.
"Yes, even my father underestimated the Jianzhou Jurchens, Nurhachi's forbearance and hidden strength. Nurhaci of the Ula tribe was determined to win, and so was Shuerhaci. I wrote a letter to remind my father, but I am worried that it may not change the outcome.
