Marrying his daughter to the Daming Emperor and becoming a Duchess was very attractive to Bu Zhai.
Why had the Jianzhou Jurchen Nurhaci developed so quickly in the past few years?
It was all because of Li Chengliang's support.
Why had his Yehe Tribe declined? It was all because Wanli was plotted against by Li Chengliang eleven years ago.
Once he married his daughter to the Daming Emperor and became a Duchess, would Li Chengliang and Nurhaci dare to beat him up?
If they did, he would complain to the Daming Emperor and see if the Daming Emperor would do anything about it.
Perhaps he could use this power to unify the Haixi Jurchen Tribe.
Once he became stronger, he would be qualified to fight against Nurhaci.
Bu Zhai immediately thought of this. As for the alliance with Horqin, Bu Zhai had long forgotten about it.
His daughter was even more indifferent. Marrying the Daming Emperor was much better than marrying someone else.
For someone who could use his daughter's marriage to the extreme, Bu Zhai had never considered his daughter's opinion.
Furthermore, Bu Zhai was very confident in his daughter. If his daughter's beauty could charm the emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty, then he would gain a lot of benefits.
Thinking of this, Bu Zhai used a lot of effort to suppress the excitement in his heart.
It was the same for the others in the room. There were many benefits to this.
The Yehe Tribe would gain a lot from the trade fair at the Northguard Pass, not to mention other things.
Bu Zhai glanced at Wu Weiying and saw him drinking calmly. His eyes were darting around, thinking about how to get enough benefits.
"We have long been loyal to the Daming Emperor!"
Bu Zhai sighed and said, "His Majesty is willing to take a woman of the Yehe Tribe as a concubine. It is the greatest honor of the Yehe Tribe. How could I, Bu Zhai, be unwilling?"
Bu Zhai pretended to shed a few tears and continued, "But the Daming's Liaodong Commander-In-Chief, Li Chengliang, has a lot of misunderstandings about us."
Wu Weiying glanced at Bu Zhai, then smiled and said: "My Grand Marshal is Marquis Dingbei, the Grand Council Minister, the Crown Prince's Grand Protector, the commander of the capital's military affairs." Having said this, Wu Weiying closed her mouth.
Bu Zhai instantly understood Wu Weiying's meaning. My Grand Marshal is Qi Jiguang. He's super awesome. Where would I put a mere Li Chengliang?
You can't put it in front of my Grand Marshal.
"We have a conflict with Jian Province's Nurhachi!" Bu Zhai continued to act pitiful.
"Nurhachi is extremely arrogant. Relying on Li Chengliang's support, he has bullied our Yehe Tribe for many years!"
Wu Weiying took another look at Bu Zhai and thought to herself, Did the Grand Marshal make a mistake by looking for this guy?
What could such a person accomplish?
He'd be lucky if he didn't do anything bad.
However, Wu Weiying still said: "When the Yehe Tribe's noble daughter is taken as a concubine by His Majesty, the Great Khan will surely be rewarded. By then, the Great Khan will be Daming's man with a high status. How would a mere Commander of the Jian Province Guards dare to act rashly?"
"If he does anything wrong, I, the Daming, will stand up for him."
Bu Zhai's heart almost jumped when he heard this, but he still put on a sad face and said, "It's a good thing that the Northguard Pass is opening its market. Can you hand it over to the Yehe Tribe?"
"My Yehe Tribe is poor!"
Wu Weiying was shocked when she heard this. Even the Daming's Honours knew that it was a taboo to monopolize business.
The Northguard Pass might not be big, but it wouldn't be small, either.
Once the imperial court took over the Duoyan Tribe's territory, they would surely manage it, and this place would surely prosper.
When the Northguard Pass opened its market, there would definitely be a lot of money rolling in. How dare the Yehe Tribe try to take it all for themselves? You're asking to die!
However, Wu Weiying didn't mind at all.
It was actually a good thing for the Daming.
The Yehe Tribe had offended a lot of people, so they could only rely on the Daming.
With that thought in mind, Wu Weiying pondered for a moment before saying, "This is going to be difficult!
But it's not like there's no room for negotiation! "
Wu Weiying looked at Bu Zhai and said with a strange expression, "Great Khan, do you know who I am?"
Everyone in the room was stunned when they heard this. Bu Zhai quickly asked, "Please enlighten me, General!"
"My father is the Daming Marquis of Gongshun, the first Marquis of Gongshun. My ancestor is Wu Yuncheng, who was given the name by Emperor Cheng. My ancestor's original name is Baodu Temur."
Everyone was stunned. So this ancestor was a Mongolian!
This matter was rarely mentioned in the Great Ming Dynasty, because once he entered Huaxia, he would be Huaxia. The Wu family had already used his loyalty and bravery to prove everything.
Now that the Wu Family had gained Zhu Yijun's favor, they were on the rise, and were one of the representatives of the Daming Army.
Zhu Yijun valued the Wu Family for two reasons. First, he valued the Wu Family's ability, and secondly, he valued the Wu Family's loyalty.
In his previous life, during the last years of the Chongzhen Emperor, the capital was conquered by Li Zicheng. After receiving the news that the Chongzhen Emperor had hanged himself, the Marquis of Gongshun in the capital committed suicide and followed the Chongzhen Emperor.
"The Wu Family has been the Marquis of Gongshun for generations. We have some influence among the Honours of the Daming."
"I've agreed to this matter. I'll write to my father and ask him to facilitate it.
I'll run around among the Honours. When the Northguard Pass opens, the Yehe Tribe will be in charge of the Jurchen. "
"However, the Honours won't be helping for nothing. They'll benefit a lot once the market opens."
Bu Zhai immediately understood. He quickly nodded and said, "Don't worry, General. Bu Zhai knows what to do!"
Wu Weiying sneered when he saw Bu Zhai agree so happily. He would indeed facilitate this matter, but not in the way he said he would.
That was because the Ministry of Internal Affairs would always take the majority of the profits in a business like the opening of a market.
No one could compete for this, not even the Honours. Wu Weiying's goal in agreeing was simple. He wanted to make use of Bu Zhai.
If you want it, fine, I'll give it to you. I'll even give you a path to the Honours. Just do whatever you want.
Wu Weiying felt that if he really did that, the Jurchen tribes would not be able to keep their peace.
The matter was settled, and both sides had gotten what they wanted. The following banquet was naturally a joyous one for both the host and the guests.
Although Nalin Bulu hated the Daming and wanted to get revenge on the Daming, he knew that now was not the time.
Since the Daming had given him benefits, there was nothing wrong with submitting first.
All these years, the Jurchen tribes had basically been like this. They would listen to whoever was stronger.
After the Yehe Tribe was destroyed, Bu Yanggu also surrendered to Nurhaci.
During the Battle of the Nine Tribes, Bu Zhai was killed by Nurhaci. When Nalin Bulu asked Nurhaci for Bu Zhai's body, Nurhaci split Bu Zhai's body in two.
Half was sent back to the Yehe Tribe, and the other half was left with Nurhaci.
Even with such a huge grudge, Bu Yanggu still wanted to marry his sister, Brother Dong, to Nurhaci. In the end, he also surrendered to Nurhaci.
On the other hand, Brother Dong refused to marry Nurhaci. She swore that she would marry whoever killed Nurhaci.
The Daming's hatred was nothing in the face of profit. They were already used to it. This was the rule of survival.
