Chapter 55 Nurhaci
Hetuala.

Located in the area of ​​Hunhe River, it has a circumference of nine miles and a city wall ten feet high. It is like a giant beast crawling in the icy and snowy northern country, exuding an awe-inspiring aura that makes people tremble and dare not look directly at it.

Inner city, Khan's Palace.

"Great Khan, important intelligence, in Yongning City in southern Liaoning, Shen Yuanliang of the Shen family rebelled and openly killed the military commander Shi Guangxian. Now he has occupied the entire Yongning City."

"We can take this opportunity to win over Shen Yuanliang. In the early spring, when we attack Shenyang and Liaoyang, we can let him lead the rebels to cause trouble in the rear of the Ming army, so as to disperse the Ming court's military strength."

Li Yongfang, who was wearing black armor and had a "rat-tail braid", put down his weapon, and after being searched by the eunuchs, he walked into the hall in three or two steps, and knelt three times and kowtowed nine times respectfully to Nurhaci sitting on the dragon throne.

As a surrendered minister of the Ming Dynasty, Li Yongfang married Nurhaci's granddaughter, was in charge of the spy system of the Later Jin Khanate, and made great contributions to the growth of the Later Jin Khanate.

Especially in the Battle of Sarhu last year, Li Yongfang sent out a large number of spies, and through in-depth and meticulous reconnaissance, he obtained a lot of valuable intelligence. Finally, he proposed to Nurhaci the combat strategy of "You can come from several routes, and I will only go one route."

In the end, the Ming army was defeated and the Later Jin achieved a decisive victory.

"Great Khan, the Ming army is vulnerable. When spring comes, I will personally lead the troops to capture Liaoyang and Shenyang for you."

"Little Shen Yuanliang is not worth our efforts."

One of the four great beiles, the leader of the Bordered Blue Banner, the second beile Amin rudely interrupted Li Yongfang's advice, looked disdainful, and spoke arrogantly.

The unruly Amin was good at fighting and defeated the Ming army. He was a competitive man all his life and looked down upon surrendered generals like Li Yongfang.

"Put this aside for now. Li Yongfang, is there any news about Manggurtai?"

Nurhaci, wearing a crown and a golden dragon robe, rubbed the mutton-fat jade ring in his hand, squinted his eyes and stared at Li Yongfang in the audience, and asked expressionlessly.

Three months ago, the messenger from the abyss gave down an "oracle". At Nurhaci's instruction, Manggurtai went deep into southern Liaoning to search for the so-called "Abyss Demon Vine" in the deep mountains and forests.

Everything was fine at the beginning, and there was frequent news. Until a month ago, there was no news of Manggurtai anymore. The group of a hundred people disappeared without a trace, and no one knew whether they were dead or alive.

"Great Khan, still no news."

"The Third Beileji people have their own destiny, and they are extremely gifted in martial arts. With hundreds of white-armored soldiers, their safety is not a problem. They are probably lost."

Feeling the overwhelming pressure and stern gazes, Li Yongfang felt a chill on his back. Trembling with fear, he fell to his knees and explained with gritted teeth.

"Keep looking. If he's alive, I must find him. If he's dead, I must find his body."

Nurhaci stood up suddenly, walked down the Danbi, and spoke word by word.

Nurhaci certainly didn't believe that his son had an accident. With the strength of a third-rank martial artist and hundreds of white-armored soldiers of the seventh-rank martial artist, no one in the world could stop him!
But he had a bad guess in his mind that Manggurtai might have deliberately hidden himself in order to keep the treasure for himself.

"Amma."

At this moment, a "boy" about eight or nine years old and five feet tall suddenly rushed in and ran towards Nurhaci happily.

"Dorgon, come here and let Ama hug you."

When Nurhaci saw his youngest son, the talented Dorgon, who had just been like a tiger coming down the mountain, he immediately smiled, and a hint of kindness flashed in his sharp eyes like an eagle.

"Father, I have already broken through to the sixth level of martial arts, and will soon be able to break through to the fifth level." "By then, I will be able to fight the enemy with Father, become a majestic general, and command thousands of troops."

Dorgon, who was wearing a white suit and had a rat-tail braid, pulled Nurhaci's sleeve, raised his childish face, and spoke proudly and boastfully.

Dorgon was the son of Nurhaci and his favorite concubine Abahai. Nurhaci, who had a son in his old age, loved Dorgon very much and even gave him the Bordered White Banner.

And Dorgon did not disappoint everyone's expectations. At a young age, he relied on the "Pig Breathing Method" bestowed by the Abyss Porcupine Clan to break through from the ninth level of martial arts to the sixth level of martial arts with unstoppable force.

"Okay, as long as you break through the fifth level of martial arts, I will allow you to go into battle and kill the enemy."

Rubbing Dorgon's head and seeing his eager look, Nurhaci felt very pleased and said happily.

"Huang Taiji, how is the White Armor Soldier Plan going?"

Leading Dorgon up to Danbi, Nurhaci looked at his eighth son, the leader of the Plain Yellow Banner, the brave and mighty Huang Taiji, and asked in a serious tone.

After the disaster of the sky crack, Nurhaci was helped by the Abyss Porcupine Clan and embarked on the road of martial arts. He trained a strong physique and will among the white mountains and black waters. In just thirty years, he had already reached the second level of martial arts, the pinnacle of the world.

Therefore, Nurhaci attached great importance to martial arts. He divided the Pig's Breathing Method into several parts and asked all his subordinates to practice it, especially his son.

With the help of a whole country, the martial arts of the Jurchens of the Later Jin Dynasty made rapid progress. There were many martial artists who reached the highest level, and even the white-armored soldiers of the seventh level in martial arts accounted for one-thirtieth of the Eight Banners.

In order to defeat the Ming Dynasty, Nurhaci implemented the "White Armor Soldier Plan", preparing to use the white armor soldiers of the seventh rank of martial arts as soldiers to form an invincible army.

"Father Khan, the plan is going smoothly."

"I believe that in another year, we, the Later Jin, will be able to form an army of 8,000 people, all of whom are seventh-grade martial artists."

With a bow, the rough-faced and heroic Huang Taiji said solemnly.

In order to complete Nurhaci's mission, Huang Taiji tried every possible means and finally chose to train the captured Jurchens into emotionless killing machines at the cost of sacrificing their lifespan and potential, with the Solon people being the best choice.

"Well, well done."

"With this army, all the land outside the Great Wall will belong to us, the Later Jin Dynasty, and the glory of the Jurchens will be realized in our Aisin-Gioro family."

Hearing this, Nurhaci was overjoyed. He strode down the Danbi with big strides, reached out and patted Huang Taiji on the shoulder. The more he looked at his son, the more he liked him and thought he looked very much like him.

An idea quietly took root in my heart!

"Father Khan, with this army, the Ming Dynasty will not be our opponent."

"After we have unified the land outside the Great Wall, we should seize the opportunity to capture Beijing and destroy the Ming Dynasty, just like we did with the Yuan Dynasty."

With his fists clenched, Huang Taiji's bright eyes exuded an astonishing ambition, which made everyone in the hall stunned and unable to calm down for a long time.

I thought their ambitions were big enough, but I didn't expect Huang Taiji's ambitions were even greater.

For a time, from civil and military ministers to beile and khan, everyone was excited by Huang Taiji's shocking words, and their ambitions grew like weeds.
