In Shenyang, inside the hastily built Khan's palace.
Nurhachi leaned against a pile of embroidered stools, guarded by seven or eight important ministers of the Jin Dynasty. Father Tessie, Giulio Alvarez, was the only one who was standing straight. After a doctor who had taken his pulse left, he said indifferently, "Your Majesty, I have warned you before not to covet the power of the Lord. Your current condition is a warning from the Lord. You must change the way you obtain power. "
The servant brought the ginseng soup, but Nurhachi shook his head with a cold face. He raised the corner of his eyes and stared at Giulio Alvarez with a pair of fierce eyes, asking in a deep voice, "What if I don't?"
"You will lose your mind," Giulio Alvarez said.
"I don't believe it. I have practiced the art of military formations and have the experience of having my sea of consciousness chaotic. As long as I am strong enough, I can suppress it. " Nurhachi clenched his fists and said unwillingly, "This power is no different from the people's wish that I usually obtain. At most, it is too chaotic and I haven't found a suitable way to control it. Or … you haven't told me all the techniques. "
"I am the servant of the Lord, and my faith does not allow me to lie." Giulio Alvarez was still indifferent, even the other important ministers of the Jin Dynasty beside him looked unfriendly. "I have done my duty to inform you. Whether you listen or not is up to you. I will say it again, don't covet the power of the Lord. "After saying this, Giulio Alvarez bowed slightly and turned to leave.
The First Bailey, Daishan, was furious and said fiercely, "Father, this Monk Tessie is too hateful. Arrest him and torture him. He must have some secrets that he hasn't told us. He is fooling us. "
Several of the five ministers also frowned. This Tessie secret technique was good, but the side effects were really hard to understand. Hwang Tae-gil, who was standing to the side, wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and echoed Daishan's words, demanding that Giulio Alvarez be more ruthless.
"Are you trying to kill me?" Nurhachi propped himself up and leaned against the hot brick bed. His face was gloomy, and his narrow eyes were both ferocious and patient. "Tell me about the current war. Your headache today should be because something went wrong in the war."
Dai Shan, the First Beilei, bowed and said, "After the Revolutionary Army captured the Ming Dynasty, they immediately formed a blockade against our Great Jin Dynasty. The only way we can deal with it now is to launch a surprise attack to prevent it from continuing to grow. The armies on all four sides were ready to attack. The Shanhai Pass had already been activated and Gao Hongzhong's flag was thrust forward. Father's headache today must have been caused by him. "
Dai Shan didn't need to say it, but Nurhachi knew. The latter closed his eyes slightly and hummed in acknowledgement. He wanted to hear the rest of the story. Dai Shan observed his expression and continued, "Old Five has already brought 30,000 troops to follow them. Now, let's see how Shanhai Pass responds. It would be best if the Revolutionary Army mobilized their main force out of fear and he would immediately turn around to attack Gaizhou. "
Mongolia, Shanhai Pass, Gaizhou, and Dandong. This time, the Kennu really put their lives on the line by launching a four-pronged attack. Nurhachi was not stupid. After the Ming Dynasty was finished, he realized the danger he was in. However, this old gambler who had fought in wars all his life would not be willing to accept defeat. How could he easily give up the vast territory of Liaodong?
Shanhai Pass was difficult to attack, but it had to be fought. Therefore, he asked Gao Hongzhong to bring 50,000 cannon fodder slaves. At the same time, he openly asked Mangurtai to bring 30,000 strong Jurchen soldiers over. The purpose was to force the Revolutionary Army to respond.
Nurhachi felt that these 50,000 soldiers had received more than half a year of training and brought more than 10 unprecedented heavy artillery. Their combat power was more than ten times stronger than the Ming Army of the past. No matter how strong Shanhai Pass was, it would still be knocked down by these 50,000 people. The Revolutionary Army would definitely be flustered to deal with these 50,000 people. In addition to Mangurtai's 30,000 people, it would be enough to make the opponent fight with all their strength.
This could be said to be an open and aboveboard plan. It was also a desperate plan. Nurhachi did not cherish the cannon fodder of the Han slaves at all. He felt that so what if these 50,000 people died? He had millions of Han slaves under him. To put it bluntly, he wanted to use these 50,000 cannon fodder to exchange with the Revolutionary Army. If the Revolutionary Army really came to exchange, Nurhachi would use all his subsequent moves in one breath.
"Gao Hongzhong's side is fighting fiercely, but it is actually within my expectations. If he won easily, then that brat Zhou Qingfeng is not worthy to be our enemy. "Nurhachi patted his head that was having a headache." I can still endure this pain. But it is better to know the situation of the battle at Shanhai Pass as soon as possible. "
Hwang Tae-gil just happened to follow up and said: "Father, fifth brother has a crane messenger that was trained two years ago. He just sent back a message today saying that he has already forced his way to Ningyuan Pass and is more than 200 miles away from Shanhai Pass. If there is any change in the battle situation at Gao Hongzhong's side, he will immediately teleport back and we will know within half a day. "
Before Kennu attacked Fushun, they had suffered a great loss at the hands of Zhou Qingfeng. For this reason, they came up with a lot of 'unique skills'. Among them was the youth that was trained by Yang Jian to ride on a crane. These birdmen that flew in the sky did not fight with Zhou Qingfeng, but unexpectedly became Nurhachi's messenger soldiers. They could fly a thousand miles in a day, fast and convenient.
Gao Hongzhong's battle situation was important, so naturally, he was also assigned this kind of messenger soldier. They agreed to take over the transmission every day. Although this was far from the Revolutionary Army's Jia Gang brand divine sense transmission, it was still much better than ordinary fast horses. But now that the battle had just begun, the news from the frontline was definitely still on the way. Everyone, including Nurhachi, could only wait …
As for the problem of the wild boar-skinned pope's headache and the hidden danger of the Power of Will, Nurhachi himself did not mention it, and the other ministers of Jin tacitly did not mention it. Only Hwang Tae-gil raised a possibility with a slightly worried heart. "Father, what if Gao Hongzhong is defeated too quickly?"
Nurhachi was originally resting with his eyes closed. When he heard this, he asked: "How quickly?"
"So quickly that we can't react in time."
"If Gao Hongzhong can't attract enough 'Revolutionary Army' troops, Shanhai Pass will definitely be empty. Old Five will rush up and attack. Then, Jin will have the best channel to enter the hinterland of the Han people at any time. The enemy's strongest point is also their weakest point. I don't believe that Zhou Qingfeng is a fool. If my 80,000 troops can't take down Shanhai Pass … "
Nurhachi originally wanted to joke that if 80,000 troops can't take down Shanhai Pass, we might as well withdraw from the side wall and ask for peace. But after thinking about it, he thought of the headache and changed it. "If 80,000 is not enough, I will personally lead the troops to add another 80,000, 100,000, 200,000. I will break that wall even if I have to use my head to smash it. "
The wild boar-skinned pope said it heroically, but on the battlefield outside Shanhai Pass, the battle was very anxious. There were 50,000 people in the 'God's blessing' army, and they were 50,000 people who had been brainwashed. Even if the 'Revolutionary Army' won the first battle, there were still more than 40,000 people gathered in their camp. The sky was getting dark, and the battle at night was a huge test for both sides.
They were a group of Ming Army that had only surrendered last year, but in the blink of an eye, they had become so tenacious. This made Zhou Qingfeng feel very strange. He personally rushed to the frontline to supervise the battle, but the first thing he saw was a corpse. The battalion commander in charge of capturing prisoners reported: "This person was wearing a general's uniform, so we wanted to capture him and interrogate him. But he said he was too ashamed to see Grand Marshal, so he bit his tongue and committed suicide. "
The corpse fell on the ground in a twisted manner. It was dirty and inconspicuous, and it had already been frozen stiff. The others did not know this general of the 'God's blessing army, who had lost a leg. They only thought that there was something wrong with this person's brain and that he would rather die than surrender. When Zhou Qingfeng saw him, he saw that there was still a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, which was bleeding.
"Why bother?" Zhou Qingfeng recognized the identity of the corpse at first glance. He said with a sigh, "Some mistakes can't be made. Once they've been made, there's no turning back. One wrong step, and every step will be wrong. You should have had the resolve to be so ruthless and give up your life. No matter what, you wouldn't have ended up in this situation today. "
Gao Daniu followed beside Zhou Qingfeng, and he also recognized the person who had died. In the past, he had also been taken care of by him, but now, the fate of both parties was like heaven and earth. Now that the other party was dead, he pleaded, "Grand Marshal, can I help him collect his body and bring it back to his hometown for burial? I vaguely remember that he once said that he was from the Xuan Manor's family of generals. Perhaps we can still find his family. "
Zhou Qingfeng shook his head. "So what if we find them? Do you want his ancestors to know that one of their descendants is a traitor? If he dies on the battlefield, then he dies on the battlefield. Let's burn him to ashes and scatter him. Let's not record his name in the history books. That's the greatest kindness. "He turned his attention to the other captives and objects.
A cross. This was obviously used by Western missionaries. When Zhou Qingfeng touched the cross, he could feel traces of a large amount of power of will on it, and the nature of this power of will was very special. According to the accounts of the different captives, they had all been baptized in Shenyang, and there seemed to be an additional 'master' in their minds who could control them.
Ye Na happened to be next to Zhou Qingfeng, and she was also very surprised by this situation. She said in a low voice: "This is the method of an evil cult."
"Oh …?" Zhou Qingfeng turned to ask, "What evil cult?"
"I used to believe in God. True faith is actually a set of proven, safe and feasible cultivation rules. The believers' power of will is condensed into a church or a holy object. The clergy must follow the rules to obtain the power of will, and protect the believers who provide it.
The church is very important, and the Lord is very important. If the church is destroyed, the clergy will be in big trouble. The clergy can't directly touch the power of will, so they won't be easily devoured by the power of will. This is a transaction between the believers and the clergy, both sides are willing. Just like how you obtain the power of will, this is a fair and free transaction. If you give the people good health, the people will revere you.
In reality, the clergy will oppress the believers due to their strength, but the basic rules still have to be followed. But if it's an evil cult, the power of will will often be forcibly given to a certain person, and the rules of distribution will be set by that person. This method will often produce a particularly powerful existence, but if he forcibly absorbs the power of will, he will have to suffer the power of will. "
There is nothing in this world that can be reaped without sowing. Even if you're a rich second generation, you must first have a rich first generation. Zhou Qingfeng then asked the captives what the name of the 'Lord' they were shouting when they prayed, and the answer he got was unsurprisingly – Aisin Gioro Nurhachi.
"The barbarians are barbarians, they want to take advantage of everything, and they dare to do so." Zhou Qingfeng sneered as he looked to the north, "I don't know which missionary did this, he actually taught this trick to Nurhachi. I guess he's going to have a headache. "
