Anfeyangu's sudden attack caught Nurhachi off guard. He hastily retreated for a while and raised his head to look at Anfeyangu with a resentful look.
"Everybody's here! Don't mess around! I'm fine! "
"Fine? Why can't I tell? Back at home, when did we not play with women? Why haven't you done anything for the past two days? This isn't like you! "
Anfeyangu picked up a water bag and started to gulp down water.
"Ah, damn military discipline, they don't even allow us to drink wine! That damned Han, he really is a troublemaker! "
Nurhachi frowned.
"You can't say that. It's a good thing that Governor Xiao's military discipline is strict. Only a disciplined army can fight. When we go back, we have to do the same. We can't be so lax, and we can't be so rude to our own people!"
Anfeyangu looked at Nurhachi in surprise.
"Are you sick, my Baylei? You really want to learn from the Han? Learn those things? If I can't drink, play with women, or rob money, then what's the point of fighting? "
Nurhachi rolled his eyes at him in annoyance.
"It's been more than ten years, why are you still so stupid? We are people who want to do great things, we can't just set our sights on money, wine, and women. We need to have bigger ambitions! "
Anfeyangu was shocked.
"Money, wine, and women aren't big dreams? Aren't we men fighting all our lives for money, wine, and women? Otherwise, what's the point of fighting? You have nothing better to do than kill people for fun? I say, my Baylei, why are you becoming more and more like that Xiao something Han? "
Nurhachi took a bite of the flatbread.
"The Han are so rich and strong, so what if we're getting close to them? We have to learn from them. Don't you want to live in the big houses of the Han? Don't you want to sleep with those soft and tender women? Don't you want to wear silk? Don't you want to eat those delicacies? "
Anfeyangu nodded: "I want, of course I want, but … don't tell me you want to start a war with the Han and snatch their territory? Those Han might fight, but I can't! "
Nurhachi rolled his eyes again.
"Can't you use your brain? What is your brain for? There are so many tribes that are our enemies, but we haven't even taken them down yet, and you still want to start a war with the Han? Li Rusong is still above me! I'm talking about learning from the Han, learning from them and using them for our own use. We'll build our own cities and houses, we'll make our own silks and satins, we'll develop ourselves. Do you understand? "
"It sounds very troublesome. I don't understand, I don't understand. I'll just fight, kill, rob, and rob women. You can do the rest. I'll kill the enemies for you. How about that?"
The more Nurhachi looked at Anfeyangu, the angrier he became.
"You're really … really … playing the lute to a cow! That's right! Playing the lute to a cow! "
"Ah?"
Obviously, Anfeyangu did not understand the idioms of the Han people. Nurhachi felt helpless again.
"Sigh …"
Nurhachi munched on the flatbread in boredom.
"I don't understand all this, but there's one thing I do understand. These Han people have repeatedly recruited us to fight for them, and after that, they give us money and cloth. Those things may be good, but many of our brothers have died.
Hessian is preparing to attack us, if we lose too many of our men, how can we defeat those barbarians? Although it's true that we have to rely on the Li clan, we can't always follow behind them, or else we'll be no different from a dog.
Look at that Xiao something, he's always using us as the vanguard. Let me tell you, we've already lost more than a thousand brothers. If this goes on, we'll be finished before the others come. "
Nurhachi kept his mouth shut.
Anfeyangu paused for a moment, then said: "It's been more than ten years since we left the Li clan, from the first hundred to the current three banners. We're already a big force, but the Li clan still treats us as slaves, is that appropriate? Is there a slave who can lead thirty thousand soldiers to war? "
Nurhachi's eyes flickered.
"It's better not to say such things now, without the Li clan at the front, we'd already be dead. This isn't the time for us to show our strength yet, don't act recklessly, and don't speak recklessly."
Anfeyangu shrugged his shoulders.
"Fine, I won't act recklessly, and I won't speak recklessly. But you have to know what you're doing. You have to know that you're our leader, Lord Bei Lei, right? You can't possibly lower your voice and work like a slave for others. It's not like your subordinates don't have any opinions. If you keep fighting for the Han, you …"
Nurhachi stopped Anfeyangu from continuing.
"Fighting for the Han is also for our benefit, you don't have to object to this. You have to see how the Han fight, especially how Governor-General Xiao fights. He's the best general in the Daming, and his army is also the best in the Daming's army. Look at him, then look at us.
Let me tell you, military discipline is very important. In the past, we didn't need it, but now that we have more and more people, and our influence is growing, we need military discipline to restrain ourselves. We can't be the same as before. "
Anfeyangu glanced at Nurhachi, then grinned.
"You want me to support you?"
"You don't support me?"
Looking at Nurhachi's face, Anfeyangu laughed.
"Hahahahaha …"
"Hahahahaha …"
Nurhaci also laughed.
"Alright, alright, I'll support you. This military discipline is indeed quite interesting. Disregarding other things, he's really good at fighting. Furthermore, after such a long time, these Han people actually didn't get into a fight at all. Even Li Rusong and the others are like that."
Nurhachi nodded and said, "That's exactly what I saw. Not to mention anything else, Li Rusong and the others have killed their own people to steal the credit or to compete for the credit. But this time, they didn't, so Governor-General Xiao is really capable. I'm really happy that he brought Chu Ying with him. I hope Chu Ying can learn something from him."
"You really feel at ease leaving that child Chu Ying to the Han people?"
"I'm also fighting with the Han people, how can I not feel at ease? Forget about the other Han people, I'm really at ease with this Governor-General Xiao. He's willing to bring Chu Ying with him, I feel that he's different from Li Rusong, and his power is even greater than Li Rusong's. Perhaps, one day, we can use him to have a showdown with Li Rusong! "
Anfeyrnguyen suddenly understood something.
"This is your goal? You're planning to … "
"Yes, if we can establish a relationship with this Governor-General Xiao, we won't only need Li Rusong in the future. If we can get Governor-General Xiao to speak for us, we'll be able to gain a lot of benefits."
"I see …"
Anfeyangu nodded. "I understand. This seems a bit interesting. If we can really establish a relationship with this Governor-General Xiao, Li Rusong won't dare to casually order us around in the future, right?"
"Of course, Li Rusong, except for Li Chengliang, I've never seen him afraid of anyone. But for Xiao Ruxun, Li Rusong seems to really follow his orders. This might be our chance."
