Nurhachi was dumbfounded because this old eunuch did not play by the rules!
I just gave you 50,000 taels of silver, and you're already causing trouble?
How could Nurhachi not know his niece, Eshtai? How did she become so famous?
She was not even as pretty as his daughter.
Shouldn't he let his daughter enter the palace?
How did she become Shuerhaqi's daughter?
Nurhachi felt a chill all over his body, and a chill rose from his heels to the top of his head.
Originally, Nurhachi thought that Zhang Jing was like the rumored Daming Eunuch, who came to him for money.
It didn't matter. It was not a big deal to spend some money. If he could make friends with this old eunuch, it would be even more worth it.
This was also the reason why Nurhachi took out 50,000 taels of silver, because it was nothing compared to making friends with Zhang Jing.
But now, Nurhachi began to feel that it was not the case. This old eunuch was obviously here to cause trouble.
Shuerhaqi was dumbfounded because he was hit by great joy.
Ever since he followed his brother Nurhachi to join the army, Shuerhaqi had always been the second-in-command. But Shuerhaqi didn't feel anything before, and the two brothers fought together.
But now it was different. With the unification of the Jianzhou Jurchen, Shuerhaqi felt more and more uncomfortable.
According to the development of the tribe, he should now have a troop, whether it was an army or a clansman.
But his brother didn't give it to him, and Shuerhaqi was already dissatisfied.
But Shuerhaqi didn't show this dissatisfaction.
But this time, when Zhang Jing mentioned his daughter, Eshtai, Shuerhaqi's ambition was suddenly provoked.
Once his daughter married the Daming Emperor, he would be able to get the support of the Daming.
At that time, not to mention a troop, he might even become the leader of the Jianzhou Jurchen.
Seeing his brother's performance, Nurhachi felt a chill in his heart. He knew that things were troublesome.
At the same time, his mind was in a mess. Nurhachi kept asking himself what to do!
It was impossible to stop Eshtai from entering the palace. Once he opened his mouth, Shuerhaqi might directly fall out with him.
But Nurhaci had already smelled a conspiracy from agreeing to Eshkol entering the palace.
This was the conspiracy of the Daming Emperor. Once Er Shittai entered the palace, the Daming Emperor would definitely do his best to kill Er Shittai.
At that time, she would definitely be suppressed and even be ordered to hand over the power of the Jianzhou Jurchen.
He was Daming's commander of the Jianzhou Guards in name, and this had never changed. If Daming removed his position, what would he do?
If Eshkota had not entered the palace and his younger brother, Shuerhaqi, perhaps the Jianzhou Nüzhen people would have followed him.
Even if he had to fall out with Daming, they would follow him.
But with Eshkota entering the palace and his younger brother Shurhaqi, things were completely different.
Because Shurhaqi was his own younger brother, Shurhaqi was also the successor to the commander of the Jianzhou Guards to a certain extent.
When that time came, Nurhachi really didn't think that many people would support him. After all, there were also many confidants of his younger brother in Jianzhou.
On one side were benefits, on the other side were knives. On the other side were his younger brother. This was not a difficult choice at all.
At that moment, Nurhachi's mind was in a mess. He really couldn't think of what to do.
On the contrary, Shurhaqi reacted very quickly. He hurriedly said, "Eunuch Chang, I do have a daughter. She's the eldest daughter, Eshkota. She's virtuous, beautiful, and intelligent."
Hearing Shurhaqi's words, Zhang Jing nodded in satisfaction. "That's good. She's not engaged, is she?"
"No!"
Shurhaqi shook his head. "I'll go back and arrange for someone to bring my daughter here right away. I'll definitely hand her over to you before His Majesty's banquet."
Zhang Jing nodded in satisfaction. "That's good!"
At this point, Nurhachi couldn't stop him. He could only force a smile and said, "Eunuch Chang, please take care of my niece. We brothers will definitely repay you."
"Don't worry about that. I know what to do!" Zhang Jing nodded with a smile and said with sincerity.
After sending off Zhang Jing, the room fell into awkwardness. Shurhaqi was the first to break the awkwardness. He smiled and said to Nurhachi, "At least we didn't do it for nothing. It's good that Eshkota has entered the palace."
Nurhachi nodded and said with a smile, "Yes!
Especially when you've roped in a eunuch. "
"In that case, I'll arrange for someone to send Eshkota over right away!"
Shurhaqi nodded and then walked out. Although he tried to hide it, Shurhaqi's walk was a little more imposing than before.
Looking at his younger brother's back, Nurhachi sighed.
Although he was depressed, Nurhachi knew that Daming's plan could not be stopped.
Although he also wanted to place high hopes on his younger brother, it seemed that there was no hope for him now.
If his younger brother was not muddle-headed, the two of them would definitely be able to do great things. If they followed the path of the previous tribe, the Jurchen would still be a lamb in the next life. But Nurhachi himself didn't believe in his younger brother.
If he were in Shurhaqi's position, Nurhachi felt that he might not be able to control himself.
Thinking of this, Nurhachi's heart was filled with despair.
Shenyang, Wanhe Palace.
"Imperial Majesty, it's done!"
Zhang Jing stood respectfully in front of Zhu Yijun and said respectfully. Seeing Zhu Yijun nod, Zhang Jing quickly told him what happened when he met Nurhachi and his brother. He didn't even hide the fact that Nurhachi bribed him with 50,000 taels of silver.
"I didn't expect them to be so rich!" Zhu Yijun slowly opened his eyes and smiled faintly.
"You keep the money for yourself!"
Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "Have someone keep an eye on Nurhachi. Don't let him kill Shurhaqi. If he kills Shurhaqi, my efforts will be in vain."
Hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Zhang Jing was shocked. He felt that it was really possible.
Once Shurhaqi died, it would be useless even if Ehshitai entered the palace. In that case, Ehshitai could only become Nurhachi's helper.
As for whether Nurhachi could do it or not, Zhang Jing never doubted it.
There were many cases of brothers fighting over family property and reading walls.
Not to mention a tribe like the Jurchen.
"Yes, Imperial Majesty, Old Slave will arrange it now!" Zhang Jing didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly agreed and turned to leave.
While Zhu Yijun was arranging to clean up the Jurchen tribes, the well-prepared Toyotomi Hideyoshi in North Korea finally made his move.
After all the preparations were ready, Toyotomi Hideyoshi officially started the war against North Korea in April on the grounds that North Korea refused to attack Ming.
On the 12th of April in the 20th year of Wanli, the first corps of 18,700 people crossed the sea to Tsushima Island to await orders.
On the 13th of April, the nine corps arrived. On the 14th of April, the invading Japanese army landed at Pusan.
