Zhu Yijun retracted his gaze with satisfaction, then turned to Shuerhaqi, smiled and said to Shuerhaqi, "Shuerhaqi, I like it very much and am very happy that you have offered your daughter to the palace."
"Since I have given Bu Zhai a reward, I can't be stingy with your reward."
As soon as Zhu Yijun said this, everyone's eyes looked at Shuerhaqi. Obviously, no one expected that Shuerhaqi would have such a treatment. Everyone was envious.
But when Zhu Yijun said this, Nurhachi's face became even uglier.
In fact, since Zhu Yijun conferred the title of Bu Zhai, Nurhachi's face had not been good.
These idiots didn't see clearly what was going on, but Nurhachi saw it clearly.
This was not a reward at all, this was annexation, the annexation of the Jurchen by the Daming.
These fools were still rushing. Nurhachi's heart was itching with hatred.
Nurhachi had always had an idea in his heart, that was to jump out of the circle of tribes and really build a country.
Not like the Mongolian tribes, that had no future.
Only by building a country, that was the way out. Jurchen building a country, then Jurchen would really become strong.
But these people in front of him had no vision. They only had tribes and had never thought about building a country.
Originally, Nurhachi's goal was to unify the Jurchen and then build a country.
Nurhachi never said this to anyone, which was why he didn't want to give his brother a tribe.
Nurhachi had even begun to set up a new military system for the Jurchen, no longer a scattered sand, no longer dominated by tribes, but a military system that was truly suitable for the Jurchen.
But now it seemed that the Daming Emperor had killed all this.
Once Siping City was built, Yehe's four tribes would have something to rely on, and the city would be handed over to Yehe after it was built.
Nurhachi could guarantee that all the civil and military officials of the Daming Empire would enter the city.
Bu Zhai of Yehe's tribe was conferred the title of Count Siping and given an official position. He even had a Han name. It was estimated that in another two generations, he would really become a Han.
This made Nurhachi shudder. Daming, this was going to swallow the Jurchen completely!
Nurhaci already had a chilling feeling. Now that Zhu Yijun had turned to Shurhaqi, Nurhaci finally had a bone-chilling feeling. As expected, this Daming Emperor would not let Jianzhou off.
This Daming Emperor really had a backup plan. He had his eyes on his younger brother.
"Shurhaqi, I confer you the title of Count Anton. I will find a place south of Kuandian Castle, by the banks of the Yalu River, and build a city in Anton.
You are Andong Garrison, Andong Commander. "
"You can move some of your clansmen from Jianzhou to Andong. There's plenty of water and grass there. It'll be the foundation of your clan."
When Shurhaqi heard this, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He hurriedly stood up and walked into the main hall. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed. "Your subject thanks Your Majesty for his grace. Long live the emperor!"
Hearing that Zhu Yijun was going to build a city on the banks of the Yalu River, south of Kuandian Castle, Nurhaci felt his vision go black.
Kuandian Castle was one of the Six Castles of Kuandian. It directly blocked all possibilities of Nurhaci going south.
Zhu Yijun attached great importance to the Six Castles of Kuandian. In terms of geographical location, the Six Castles of Kuandian were distributed from Anshan in the future. The six castles were distributed in a linear pattern. The last one, Changling Castle, was close to Dalian in the future.
In the previous life, Li Chengliang gave up the Six Castles of Kuandian because Daming had no choice but to do so financially. But in terms of military strategy, the loss of the Six Castles of Kuandian was a huge mistake in Daming's military strategy.
Because losing the Six Castles of Kuandian meant that Nurhaci had obtained the Liaodong of the future. What kind of place was that?
It was the vast Liaodong Plain. How could the products of Liaoxi compare?
Losing Liaodong meant that Daming had also lost Korea.
Nurhaci could lead his troops across the Yalu River. Whether it was plundering or conquering, Korea could become Nurhaci's rear.
With Liaodong and Korea, Nurhaci had the capital to advance westward.
It was because of the acquisition of the Six Castles of Kuandian and the vast land of Liaodong that Nurhaci became unstoppable in the northeast.
Daming could only hide in Pi Island and wait for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
How could Zhu Yijun make such a mistake now? He built the city of Andong on the bank of the Yalu River in order to manage Liaodong and the Six Castles of Kuandian.
Daming's navy could go up the Yalu River to Andong. The whole of Liaodong could be radiated. It could greatly strengthen his control of Shenyang and Liaoyang, thus holding the whole of Liaodong in his hands.
Once the land of Liaodong was reclaimed, it could also become a supply area for the navy. The sea transportation here was developed enough.
There was an inland river like the Yalu River and a seaport like Dalian in the future.
Fuxin had the largest open-pit coal mine in Asia. Anshan had iron mines. It was definitely worth Zhu Yijun's effort.
Moving out of Shulhaqi was a kindness, a gift, but at the same time, it was also a kind of pressure on Nurhaci.
In any case, it was to constantly weaken you and see what you do. If you rebel, it was the right time to eliminate you.
If you don't rebel, then you can wait to be weakened to death!
Zhu Yijun could not kill Nurhaci for no reason. This was not good for Daming's rule in Liaodong.
Duo Yan's three tribes and Horqin needed to be managed. Without a proper reason, Zhu Yijun could not kill people.
Now, Zhu Yijun was confident that he could make Nurhaci jump.
"Shulhaqi, Andong City is your city. Do a good job!" Zhu Yijun looked at Shulhaqi expectantly.
Shulhaqi was overjoyed. It was south of Kuandian Castle!
Was it good there?
Of course it was good. Whether it was the grassland or the river, it was very good.
But it was a place of the Ming Dynasty. It was impossible for a Perfected Woman to go there. Now the emperor actually gave him a city south of Kuandian Castle. How could he not be excited?
After the business was done, it was time for the banquet and drinking. Because there was a happy event, the guests and the host were happy.
After returning to Wanhe Palace, Zhu Yijun wiped his face with the wet towel that Zhang Jing handed him. Then he said with a smile, "Let Qi Jiguang come in. I know he must be outside."
Not long after, Zhang Jing came in from outside, followed by Qi Jiguang.
"Your Majesty!" Qi Jiguang came to Zhu Yijun's side and bowed.
Zhu Yijun waved his hand, indicating that Qi Jiguang did not need to bow. Then he said, "I knew you would come. What are you worried about?
Are you worried that I will give a few more cities? "
Seeing that Qi Jiguang had acquiesced, Zhu Yijun said with a smile, "Going too far is as bad as not going far enough. I understand this."
"These two, Siping and Andong. For the time being, these two cities are enough for Liaodong.
Andong will belong to Liaodong, and Siping will be a new province. "
"With Siping as the provincial capital and the Jurchen tribes in the north, plus a part of Horqin. What do you think?"
Building a city was not a big deal. Zhu Yijun could make the decision himself. But establishing a province was a big deal.
