It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

In full view of the crowd, Nurhaci questioned in the tone of a victor.

Nurhaci's original wife, Xiao Yuer, felt ashamed and regretful, with tears in her eyes.

Who could have thought that Nurhaci, who was extremely poor, could become the chief of the Hushui tribe?
Who could have imagined that the Hushui tribe, with only a hundred men, could annex the Arunaqi tribe, with less than 2,000 people?
It’s not that I don’t understand, it’s that the world is changing too fast!
On the other hand, Xiao Yuer only had a few days of good life as the concubine of the young chief of the Aruna clan.

Later, the patriarch's son got tired of playing with it and gave it to his subordinates.

Later, his subordinates got tired of using her as a bet and losing to others, and they no longer treated her as a human being.

If a woman has little food and clothing, and has to work like an ox or a horse in the fields, she cannot look good.

In her twenties, she became like an old lady, looking haggard and lifeless.

Now, no man would give her food anymore.

Xiao Yuer was so hungry that she could only secretly eat some leftovers and sleep in the pigsty and stable.

She originally thought that she would live a miserable life like this and that death would be the end of it.

But I didn’t expect that Nurhaci actually became rich?
He was eager to find me, definitely wanting to humiliate me and take revenge on me for being blind.

However, these embarrassments are all self-inflicted, and cannot be blamed on others.

Alas, when will these hard times end?
It's better to die clean!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuer recalled the sweet days when she and Nurhaci were newly married.

Men hunt, women farm, and they do it shamelessly at night. How wonderful!
She suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha!"

Although her face was covered in dirt and she smelled bad, Xiao Yuer still felt very happy in her heart.

Everyone was baffled.

What's wrong, is this?
What is she laughing at? What's so funny?

Are you crazy?

Nurhachi stared into her eyes and asked again: "Do you regret it? As long as you say 'regret', I won't kill you!"

Although her hands were tied, Xiao Yuer struggled to stand up, stared at Nurhachi, and said resolutely: "Tell me, what do I regret?!"

She was not afraid of her tall and mighty husband at all, and talked a lot.

"Should I regret that my father and mother gave birth to me?"

"Or, have you been playing with me since childhood and now you are married?"

"Otherwise, I should regret that you are not the clan leader. You are just a coward when your wife is snatched away by someone else?"

She looked at Nurhaci with contempt and said coldly: "What I should regret is that even if you become the chief of the tribe, you still only think about revenge against your enemies and humiliating women. Is this the greatest achievement of the first warrior of the Jurchens?!"

Oh my god!

Is this still the same submissive woman?

The Arunaqi tribe, young and old, were all stunned.

Even the soldiers of the Hushui tribe were dumbfounded.

I really can't bear to watch it.

To humiliate my elder brother is to humiliate me!
"Snapped!"

He stepped forward, slapped Xiao Yuer to the ground, pointed the gun at her head, and was about to pull the trigger.

Xiao Yuer closed her eyes with satisfaction.

She doesn't want to live anymore and she's had enough of living.

Death may be the best outcome.

"Go away!"

Eyidu was very surprised because it was Nurhaci who said this.

He turned around in surprise, only to see Nurhaci rushing towards him and suddenly pushing him back seven or eight steps with both palms.

"Get out! All of you get out!"

Seeing that his eyes were red and he was about to go crazy, Eyiduo quickly waved his hand and took everyone away.

Nurhaci took out the dagger with both hands and slowly approached Xiao Yuer.

Xiao Yuer suddenly smiled and said gently, "Brother Haqi, go ahead! I'm happy to die under your knife!"

Nurhaci shuddered. This familiar voice had been lingering in his mind.

He suddenly understood.

The reason why he was full of resentment and fought for wealth regardless of life and death was actually because of Xiao Yuer.

He risked his life to prove to Xiao Yuer that he was not a coward.

So, why do this?

After all, she is in my heart.

As the saying goes, the deeper the blame, the deeper the love.

If you really don't care about the other person, why go to so much trouble and be so ambitious?

In an instant, Nurhaci was like solid ice melted bit by bit by the spring sunshine.

"Clang!"

The dagger fell to the ground.

"Pfft!"

Nurhachi fell down beside Xiao Yuer.

After a long period of silence and ideological struggle, Nurhaci staggered to his feet.

"What I owed you and what you owed me before, now, it's all written off."

After saying this, he dragged his heavy feet towards his army and spoils.

This battle was fought beautifully.

Eyiduo led his men to kill the sentinels first, and then sneaked into the clan leader's house under cover of darkness to launch a decapitation attack.

The battle was over in less than an hour.

The Arunaqi tribe is the largest tribe in the vicinity, with a population of more than 1,500, including 400 to 500 young and strong people.

He had several large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, and countless cattle, horses and sheep. He made a fortune.

According to the rules of the Jurchens, these young and strong men were either killed or made into slaves.

But Nurhaci felt that changes should be made.

He called together the young and strong men for a meeting.

"I am Nurhachi of the Hushui tribe. According to the rules of the old forest, half of you will be beheaded and the other half will be made slaves."

The captives below listened with pale faces. After all, no one wanted to die.

Nurhachi changed the subject and said, "But I am now the head of the Beihai Governor's regiment, and I have to follow military regulations. Now I give you a choice: join the army or surrender your weapons and become a hunter."

Ah!
Ahhhh?
Everyone in Aruna was dumbfounded.

What Governor of the North Sea?

What are the military rules for the regiment commander?
Can I choose by myself?
Is this Nurhachi really from our old forest?
E Yiduo took the whip and lashed them: "Shut up! Listen to the commander's instructions!"

Nurhaci didn't waste any time and directly launched "conscription + land reform".

Those who join the army will be given 100 acres of pasture per household and 100 kilograms of millet as settling-in allowance.

That’s not all. Being a soldier means you have food and clothing, and you can get one or two taels of silver, or 1000 copper coins, every month.

It’s okay if you don’t have money now. You can ask the Governor to reimburse you later.

Those who do not join the army return home empty-handed and without any benefits.

Of course, Nurhaci brought over the new rules of the Hushui tribe.

Each household only needs to pay 20% of the prey and harvest.

It is much better than the original 70% to 80% handed over to the patriarch.

When these words were spoken, people's hearts were in turmoil.

Most of the people in Aruna are from the lower class and actually don't live well.

Who cares if he is the patriarch?
Nurhaci is too powerful, and the new rules are also visible benefits.

Never mind, let’s follow the Hu Shui tribe.

In this way, Nurhaci recruited 300 young and strong men from Arunaqi.

The Hushui tribe became famous in one battle, and the chiefs of the surrounding small tribes came to pay their respects after hearing the news.

Nurhaci found that he did not have enough manpower and could not annex them for the time being.

So, two rules were set.

First, the small tribes had to hand over 20% of their harvest to the Hushui tribe every year.

Another thing is that the White Tiger Regiment must not be hindered from recruiting soldiers from small tribes.

In this way, Nurhaci took the "tribute" from the small tribe and recruited 300 people from the small tribe.

At this point, the White Tiger Regiment was fully staffed.

But a few days later, pirates plundered the surrounding area. The small tribe suffered heavy losses and rushed to report the news and ask for help.

Take people's money and eliminate disasters with them.

Nurhaci cannot be ignored.

With the idea of ​​"training troops in actual combat", he immediately led the White Tiger Regiment to launch an anti-bandit campaign.

As a result, more than a hundred pirates were chased by the White Tiger Regiment and fled all the way to the border between Shenling and Goryeo.

As luck would have it, the Goryeo border troops were terrified.

The Goryeo border generals thought that the Jurchens had invaded the border, and immediately sent out 3,000 troops to deter them.

As a result, Eyidu ignored them altogether.

He even suspected that the Goryeo soldiers and the pirates were in cahoots, so he caught the Goryeo border troops and beat them up.

Just like that, the three parties fought in a chaotic melee until Lu Yuan appeared.

After Nurhaci finished explaining, Lu Yuan laughed.

"The White Tiger Regiment is strong and powerful, and they are doing a great job! I will send a chief of staff to you later to give him some training."

Nurhaci knew that he had to eat someone's food and be under their supervision, and the chief of staff was equivalent to the emperor's "military supervisor."

Moreover, it is not directed at him alone. Both the Suzaku Group and the Black Tortoise Group have representatives from the student army.

Of course, these student soldiers are not just for show, they all have real skills and are very experienced in managing soldiers.

It can basically be summarized in one sentence: the regiment commander is in charge of military affairs, and the staff officer is in charge of life, and they complement each other.

The most important thing is that in this way, the White Tiger Regiment will become one of the three main forces of the Governor of Beihai.

"Thank you very much, Governor!"

After careful consideration, Lu Yuan sent Major Staff Officer Tian Jiabin from the headquarters to form a team with Nurhaci.

Coincidentally, Eyiduo also hurried over to pay his respects to the Governor.

This guy was covered in blood, carrying an "AK-47" on his back, with several human heads hanging under his horse's neck, and he rushed over with murderous intent.

As soon as he saw Lu Yuan, he jumped off his horse with a "dong" and kowtowed to Lu Yuan.

"I am a slave, I pay my respects to my master! May my master be blessed with good health and may he live a long life!"

Lu Yuan laughed. According to his level, it would be no problem for him to live to a thousand years old.

However, we are mostly rough people without much education, so it is good enough if we can learn to say a few auspicious words.

He stepped forward to help the man up and pounded his chest: "Great job! Are you hurt anywhere?"

Eyiduo fought bravely and led the charge, with wounds all over his body.

But he didn't care at all, and said nonchalantly: "It's just a superficial wound, nothing serious!"

When asked about the Goryeo border troops, Eyiduo felt a little embarrassed.

"Because my eldest brother said that the master has come, I only captured a thousand people, and many others were not caught in time... They are all waiting behind!"

what!
Lu Yuan was surprised.

You have about 400 people, and you captured a thousand prisoners?
E Yiduo said with little interest: "The Korean soldiers were afraid of death and could not help fighting. They collapsed after we charged...it was just that their calves ran a little too fast."

When Lu Yuan was chatting with Lingxiong Gao Mingna, he described the Goryeo border army, which was considered Goryeo's elite force.

Eyiduo pointed at the head on the horse's neck and said, "What elite troops? The commander told me to kill them and take their flags."

Lu Yuan's heart moved.

The Korean Peninsula is located at the throat of Northeast Asia, but its people are tough and the terrain is rugged, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

It seems that there is always something that can defeat something else.

If the White Tiger Regiment is properly armed, they might be able to take the city in three to five months.

He looked at Nurhachi and asked, "Are you interested in going to Goryeo for a few days?"

Nurhaci was excited.

The meaning of this statement is too obvious. The master wants to attack Goryeo and wants me to be the only one in charge.

In the previous battle, the Koreans were defeated at the first blow. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Expand your territory!
Make great contributions!

Nurhaci's heart immediately warmed up.

He patted his chest and made a pledge: "Please give the order, Governor-General! If I cannot take down Goryeo within three months, I will bring my head to you!"

"it is good!"

Lu Yuan took out a military map, pointed to the central part of Goryeo and said, "I will give you equipment, warships, and a regiment. Ten days later, launch a surprise attack from the sea. As long as you capture this Goryeo royal city and arrest the Goryeo royal family, you will be the first brigade commander of the Northern Navy!"

Nurhaci's blood boiled, and he immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Yes! Attack in 10 days and capture the Goryeo royal city!"

Eyiduo was illiterate, so he looked at the place name and asked, "Master, what is the name of this place?"

Lu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Incheon!"

The White Tiger Regiment was resting and on standby, and Lu Yuan specially approved that they be allowed to recruit soldiers from the captured Goryeo border troops.

At the same time, he also taught them to "openly repair the plank road while secretly marching through Chencang" and use harassment warfare to contain the Goryeo border troops and strive for Goryeo to transfer troops from the country.

In this way, the defense of the Goryeo royal city would be more vulnerable, which would be more conducive to a surprise landing.

Nurhaci, Eyiduo, and the new chief of staff Tian Jiabin, were enthusiastically reorganizing the prisoners.

Lu Yuan also sent people to arrange for the Taining Military Factory to work overtime and allocate a batch of equipment to the White Tiger Regiment first.

Everything was ready, and Lu Yuan landed on Pi Island with more than a hundred "pirates".

Mao Wenlong, the local tyrant, received the notice and went out of the village ten miles to welcome them with great fanfare.

As soon as they met, Lu Yuan discovered an interesting phenomenon.

Mao Wenlong was dressed in a bright and beautiful official robe, but his subordinates were all dressed in rags.

The contrast is too strong.

Lu Yuan took out Lingxiong's military order, and Mao Wenlong said with a smile: "The Governor thinks highly of Pi Dao, which is a blessing for us brothers, but if you have an order, even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, the 3,000 men of Pi Dao will not refuse to die!"

At this time, one of his men said something sarcastic: "Brothers are almost starving to death, how can they still have the strength to fight?"

Mao Wenlong glared at him, kicked him, and cursed: "Damn it, on such a good day when the Governor is here, why are you saying such depressing words? Someone, drag him away and chop him off!"

"Even if I die, I will still speak! As the old saying goes, soldiers are fed with food and wages, but we have been fighting for half a year without food and wages. What kind of soldiers are we?"

Mao Wenlong's face turned red, and he quickly drew out his sword and was about to chop someone.

Lu Yuan laughed secretly in his heart, this master and this servant, they treated me like a fool and they are still acting!

In that case, don't blame me for showing off my acting skills!
He quickly reached out and stopped Mao Wenlong.

"Captain Mao, don't argue with your subordinates. Calm down and talk things over nicely... Um, I'm new here and I don't know your situation. Can you tell me more?"

He pointed at the young general and asked, "You are so talkative. Tell me why we have been without food and salary for half a year?"

The young general felt a little guilty and couldn't help but look at Mao Wenlong.

Bro, wasn’t this agreed upon in advance? What are we going to do?
Mao Wenlong glared at him and cursed, "Why are you looking at me? Just answer whatever the governor asks!"

The young general muttered a lot and Lu Yuan understood.

To be honest, we can only blame Lingxiong for having no strategic vision.

Pi Island is such an important location, and Mao Wenlong is considered a capable fighter, so he must be well taken care of.

But he just believed in fast horses and strong bows, and he wanted to fight the Jianzhou Jurchens head-on.

The Jianzhou Jurchens were not easy to deal with either. You attacked me, and I attacked you, and there were heavy casualties.

Therefore, the pensions for border troops are a huge expense.

The court was rife with corruption, and after much deduction, Lingxiong got nothing left.

Even a good housewife cannot cook without rice, so what should she do?
Lingxiong can only give priority to cavalry, then infantry, and finally city defense troops.

As for the pirates who were recruited by Pi Island, they can delay as much as possible and owe as much as possible.

If it really doesn't work, you can go and rob the Jurchens.

But Mao Wenlong's men were few in number, and if they kept robbing the Jurchen tribes, they would be on guard.

As a result of this, and with the recent movement of the Imperial Guards north, the two sides fell out.

Lingxiong himself has to rely on begging for food to eat, so how can he care about Mao Wenlong?

At last, the young general started to cry, wiping his tears and saying, "Governor, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. We are not afraid of death since we are soldiers! But, it's worth dying, right? We can't fight the Jurchens on an empty stomach, right?"

"What a disgrace! Get out of here!"

Mao Wenlong blinked his eyes, kicked the young general down and rushed aside.

He turned around and said with a smile: "Governor, this kid is exaggerating. He can still have enough food to eat. As for the compensation for the injured, disabled and dead soldiers, I really have no power..."

At this point, the soldiers of Pi Island lowered their heads.

It's shameful to be a soldier and become a beggar!

"Shh!"

A thin paper bill was handed to Mao Wenlong.

what!
"Governor, what is this?" (End of this chapter)
