As an old eunuch left over from the Yongle period, Yi Shiha has been involved with Nuergan throughout his life.

Sometimes I even think about it the other way around, if Emperor Taizong hadn't needed an internal official who was familiar with the Jurchens and the slaves, Yi Shiha would have been nothing more than a eunuch in the palace wall.

At most, they just support each other with some Jurchen concubines.

It was also Emperor Taizong who established Nuer Gandusi that gave him everything.

Yishiha was very familiar with Nuergan, but this time, he did not go to the Songhua River first and go down the river. Instead, he took thousands of soldiers and traveled through mountains and rivers to arrive at Jianzhou Guard first.

Li Manzhu, the commander of the Jianzhou Guard, also came forward with his troops. Li Manzhu seemed to have pulled out all his soldiers in order to show his strength.

There were more than ten thousand Jurchen soldiers, which seemed to be a large number, but they were dwarfed by the neat Ming army in front.

Li Dachuan, who was following Yi Shiha, said to Yi Shiha's adopted son Shi Dai'er: "What kind of posture are these Jurchen savages putting up? With such a formation, even if there are tens of thousands more, give me 3,000 cavalry, and I will be able to defeat them early."

Just beat them to a pulp."

Zhu Qizhen attached great importance to the establishment of the Haixi Dusi.

Therefore, I specially called General Li Dachuan from Datong.

Li Dachuan is now considered to have been defeated. He is a brave general, and with Yang Hong's guidance, he has mastered the art of marching and leading troops.

Of course, this is just the entrance.

This is also the innate limitation of many lower-level soldiers.

Compared with the talents cultivated by the disciples of the generals who read military books from a young age, these generals with a rough background are experts at charging fiercely and breaking through the enemy's formations. Going up one level and commanding tens of thousands of horses is probably something they will never do in this life.

It's possible.

The same goes for Shidai'er.

He also lost the adopted son of Haru, and he was also unparalleled in bravery. When he rushed into battle, he wore heavy armor and liked to carry a few axes with him. He would first hurt people with flying axes, and then roar with long swords.

It was Yi Shiha's personal guard general. He said: "Master Li has good eyesight. Everyone in Liaodong Town knows that this Jurchen is? Most of them are hunters in the mountains and have no business farming. But they have a lot of brute force, which really drives them crazy."

Come on, it's not easy to stop them, but in the battle formation, it's not two people fighting after all. These Jurchens don't look good, but when it comes to fighting, they are barbarians, swarming in a swarm, and don't know the front and rear formations at all. They only need to select the three thousand elites from Liaodong.

Riding, no matter how many Jurchens and barbarians there are, they can be sent away."

In fact, ministers who are sent abroad cannot lead troops. They don't even explain the specific treatment.

For example, the imperial court gave civil servants, several grades of civil servants, and a few common people to serve in your position. However, most officials in the Ming Dynasty collected a sum of money from the common people in lieu of serving.

And the general also has his trusted servants around him.

But this eunuch thing

, if you command the troops beside the emperor, Liu Yongcheng also has his own soldiers.

But what is the treatment for eunuchs sent abroad? According to the rules of the palace, the salary of eunuchs is even thinner than that of civil servants. After all, when Emperor Taizu made the plan, he did not expect these eunuchs to come out to do things.

If the eunuchs could not satisfy themselves within the regulations, they naturally acted outside the regulations.

In the Taizong Dynasty, they just hired some common people as servants. But after Wang Zhen came to power, although he was very strict with the people below, he turned a blind eye to some things.

For example, the guarding eunuchs in each border town also had more or less their own trusted servants during this period. It was not easy to make moves within the system.

Therefore, most of the eunuchs are trying to win over foreign armies.

For example, Yi Shiha had two hundred Jurchen soldiers, and Shi Dai'er was the commander of the bodyguards. Even Shi Dai'er's bloodline may not have Jurchen blood.

But this is also a common phenomenon in this era. All Jurchens who have mixed well in the Ming Dynasty must work hard to eliminate the Jurchen marks on themselves.

It's like losing ha.

What Yishiha did was not like a Jurchen at all.

Even to a certain extent, the name Jurchen was the Ming Dynasty's laziness in calling them. Although there are some Jurchens in the Northeast itself, is it like the term "savage Jurchen"?

The savages in these ravines didn't even know whether they were Jurchens, but when the Ming Dynasty called them that, they knew they were Jurchens.

In later generations, the Daur, Xibo, Oroqen, Hezhe, Ewenki, and Kirgiz tribes were all called Barbarian Jurchens in the Ming Dynasty.

Even if it is Jianzhou Jurchen itself, is it a Jurchen?

There is also research in later generations, so there is no need to mention it here.

But the phenomenon they both mentioned actually exists.

The fighting strength of the Jianzhou Jurchens was only after Nurhaci learned the combat methods and organizational methods of the Ming Dynasty army from Li Chengliang that they became able to fight.

Before, it was just a piece of loose sand.

The two people here were discussing privately the Jurchens' fighting prowess. Over there, Yi Shiha and Li Manzhu also had a pleasant conversation.

Li Manzhu is now in his forties, and is in the prime of life. He has a particularly good relationship with Yishiha, and even the relationship between Yishiha and Li Manzhu is deeper than ordinary people.

Without him, Li Manzhu had a daughter who served Emperor Taizong.

Of course, Li Manzhu did not dare to claim to be Emperor Taizong's father-in-law, but Yi Shiha came from the palace after all.

Although Li Manzhu's daughter is long gone now and died at the hands of Emperor Taizong, the love remains.

Li Manzhu general Yi Shiha welcomed him into the Jianzhou Guard.

Today's Jianzhou Guard is not in Kaiyuan, but not far northeast of the Ming Dynasty's border wall, which can also be regarded as the Yalu River Basin. After some pleasantries, the two got to the point.

as well as

Shiha first talked about the current situation of the Hami Guard, and then explained the court's intention to build a city in Haixi, as if he was caring about the Jianzhou Guard.

But Li Manzhu had already cursed loudly in his heart.

He was actually very reluctant to let Ming Dynasty send troops to station outside the border wall. The reason was simple. If Ming Dynasty didn't send people, this place was not the focus of Wa Ci's concern, and maybe nothing big would happen.

So what if something happens?

Ye Xian is a person who understands. Ye Xian understands the special political structure on the grassland. Ye Xian's subordinates, namely the nearly 100,000 tile-thorn cavalry, are Ye Xian's core strength. In fact, they are the only ones who have expressed surrender to Ye Xian in relation to the peripheral ministries.

Submit, pay tribute, pay protons, enter into marriage, etc. and pull them into Wac's chariot.

After all, the grassland has its own national conditions. If you really want to abolish the power of all the nobles in the grassland, don't think about going south first. Let's fight a civil war for more than ten years.

It is precisely because of this that Ye Xian is very wary of Tuotuo Buhua. The reason is that most of the lords on the grassland either have the surname Boer or have a close relationship with the Golden Family.

In other words, even if Wa Ci attacks, it will still be a battle of conquest.

As long as Li Manzhu bows his head to Wa Ci, he will not do anything excessive. Just like the Hami Guard is now controlled by Ye, what will happen to King Hami?

He was the King of Hami earlier, and even married to Ye Xian. It seemed that he was even more intimate. Moreover, King Hami also kept a live button here in the Ming Dynasty.

Once Wasi was defeated, King Hami would definitely move Hami to defect to the court.

He also did this in history. Amid the internal strife between Ye Xian and the grassland, Wac's hegemony lasted for less than ten years. Mahamu, Tuohuan, and the efforts of three generations of Ye Xian, followed the death of Ye Xian.

Turned into a passing cloud.

Then Hami became the Hami Guard of the Ming Dynasty. After that, there were many twists and turns, and finally during the Jiajing period, the court completely lost control of Hami.

If the Ming Dynasty did not station Jurchen troops.

Li Manzhu naturally wanted to sway back and forth. If Ye Xian was really too powerful, it might not be impossible for him to be Ye Xian's subordinate.

It was just a garrison of the Ming Dynasty.

If he wants to defect to Ye first, he must destroy this Ming army, not to mention these thousands of troops. Although they are not large in number, they are elite in Liaodong Town. Once the city is built, it will be even more difficult to deal with.

To put it simply, once thousands of Ming troops were destroyed, he and the imperial court would become enemies. There would be no chance for reconciliation in the future.

The Ming Dynasty might be afraid of Wa Ci, but it didn't care about the Jurchens at all.

Li Manzhu couldn't see the outcome between Wasi and Daming. But Daming's move forced him into a situation where he could only follow one side.
