Dai Shan stayed in the capital for seven days. Chu Ying asked for a seven-day leave from the army and took his brother to travel around the capital and the scenic spots around it.
Chu Ying took him to see the idyllic scenery of Daqin, the tall buildings of Daqin, and the public toilets and sanitation management of Daqin. He also took Dai Shan to eat in many famous shops on the streets and alleys. Dai Shan ate so much that his belly was round and he gained weight.
Dai Shan felt that he had never had such a good time as these seven days since he was born. When he left, he seemed a little reluctant.
The days here were so comfortable.
He could eat whatever he wanted and drink whatever he wanted. His life was like that of an immortal.
"Big brother, can I come back in the future?"
Dai Shan looked at Chu Ying expectantly.
Chu Ying smiled and nodded, "Of course. You and your brothers can come. Big brother will receive you."
Dai Shan nodded happily.
When Dai Shan came, he only brought five carriages. Now he had 20 carriages. Most of them were gifts prepared by Chu Ying for Nurhachi and his brothers. There were also some gold and silver, which were his filial piety to his father.
"Be careful on your way back. Take the official road and protect yourself. If you encounter any problems, go to the army of Daqin and tell them that you are the brother of Chu Guihan, the adopted son of the emperor of Daqin. You will get help."
"Okay, I got it!"
Dai Shan left the capital of Daqin with a group of attendants and dozens of carriages.
20 days later, Dai Shan returned to Hetuala. Nurhaci and He Heli personally came to greet him. When they saw Dai Shan return with so many carriages and a look of excitement on his face, they all let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Dai Shan got a good result.
This was indeed a good thing.
So they went to greet him.
"Father! Brother-in-law! "
Dai Shan also galloped over.
Then the three of them discussed what Dai Shan had seen in the capital.
Of course, the most important thing was the relevant information obtained from Chu Ying.
Dai Shan repeated what Chu Ying had said. Nurhachi and He Heli looked at each other. Although they were relieved, they still felt a little strange.
Then they noticed the carriages brought back by Chu Ying.
"What is this?"
Nurhaci asked.
"These are gifts that my eldest brother brought me from the shops in Beijing. By the way, Father, my eldest brother said that he has been adopted by the emperor of the Daqin. He has a Han surname and a Han name, and he has married a wife. He is very rich."
Dai Shan said excitedly.
Nurhachi and He Heli were shocked.
"What? Chu Ying was adopted by Xiao Ruxun? He even has a wife? "
Nurhachi exclaimed.
Seeing his father's surprised look, Dai Shan nodded a little strangely.
"Yes, Big Brother said that he made a lot of contributions and was adopted by the Emperor of Daqin as his son. He told me very happily that he is now living in a big mansion. Sister-in-law is also very beautiful, and there are many servants serving him. His house is very big, beautiful, and comfortable! His house is even bigger than Father's! "
Dai Shan excitedly described Chu Ying's residence.
Dai Shan had never considered the impact of this news on Nurhachi and He Heli.
Of course, for Dai Shan, these things did not mean much.
But for Nurhachi and He Heli, it meant too much.
His own son was adopted by the emperor of the Central Plains Empire …
This …
Nurhachi looked at He Heli, and He Heli also looked at Nurhachi. Both could see the shock in each other's eyes.
This was not an ordinary shock.
They returned to Hetuala together. Then, Dai Shan gave all the gifts that Chu Ying had bought for his brothers. Those exquisite objects, beautiful ornaments, and gold and silver wares dazzled and excited the group of children. Nurhachi also received a gift from his son.
A dagger inlaid with pearls and emeralds.
"Big Brother said that this is a reward from His Majesty the Emperor of Daqin. Big Brother wants to give this to Father. He wants me to tell Father that he is living very well."
Nurhachi took the dagger and looked up and down at the exquisite dagger.
Only the exquisite craftsmanship of the Han people could make such a thing.
But compared to these, Nurhachi was more eager to get steel and firearms.
But Daqin reorganized the border market and took in the border residents. In the past, they could get some old firearms from the Liaodong Army, but now they could not get anything, not to mention new firearms.
How should they go on?
Nurhachi fell into a state of confusion.
He Heli and Nurhachi walked out alone and talked about this matter.
"Chu Ying was adopted by the Emperor of Qin. This should be the reason why the Emperor of Qin bestowed titles on us first. But I really did not expect that Chu Ying would be adopted as the Emperor's son. Doesn't the Emperor of Qin care that Chu Ying is not a Han?"
Nurhachi voiced out the doubts in his heart.
"Compared to this, I am more concerned about Chu Ying's marriage and the fact that he was given a Han surname by the Emperor. Chu Ying must be living a very good life now. He must like his current life very much. So, is he still willing to come back?"
He Heli saw the problem very clearly.
Nurhachi was stunned and then narrowed his eyes.
"You are right. What Chu Ying did, in my opinion, is like …"
"Showing off!"
He Heli hit the nail on the head and pointed out Chu Ying's mentality.
"That's right. Chu Ying is showing off to me, his father, and his brothers. Even though I'm very satisfied and happy with the results he's achieved, I'm starting to doubt if it was the right decision to send Chu Ying to Xiao Ruxun's side back then."
Nurhachi was a little suspicious of himself.
"It's better not to say such things. Things have already happened. For us, it's better to think about the current situation. Previously, the Han people came and said that in a few days, they will reopen the trade market in Fushun and invited us to do business there. Should we go?"
"Of course, if not, there are some things that we can't get by ourselves."
Nurhachi rubbed his temples in distress. "Why are the Han so smart? Why can they produce so many useful things, but we can't? If we can do it ourselves, we shouldn't be so dependent on the trade market, right? "
He Heli instantly understood what Nurhachi meant.
"What do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything else. Robbing the Han craftsmen at this time is purely asking for trouble. We still have the enemies of Haixi and Donghai behind us. If we go against the Han at this time, we will be courting death. I won't do such a thing."
Nurhachi shook his head. "But, after Li Chengliang leaves, I don't know if Xiao Ruxun will play the same role as Li Chengliang, or if he will still be willing to support us against Haixi and Donghai. Without that kind of support, it may be difficult for us to deal with those guys from Haixi and Donghai."
He Heli thought for a moment.
"In fact, as long as the Han don't interfere with us, we can train our own strong warriors and slowly clean up Haixi and Donghai. But I am afraid that if the Han suddenly intervene, it will be difficult for us."
Nurhachi was also worried about the same thing.
"Yes, that's why I asked Dai Shan to inquire about Xiao Ruxun's intentions. Now it seems that with Chu Ying around, Xiao Ruxun will not be hostile to us. Moreover, we have fought together with Xiao Ruxun a long time ago and can barely be regarded as comrades. I think he won't do anything to us."
He Heli immediately added, "But we must also be careful."
"Yes, I know."
