    Nalan Bakshi was a little surprised to see that Zhang Yuan could understand Jurchen language. Only Ming merchants who traded with Jianzhou could learn Jurchen language. However, the proud Ming gentry thought that Jurchen language was vulgar and how could they bother to learn it?  Before Rambakshi went to Korea as ambassador, he met Huang Taiji, a Heshuobele, in Kuandian. Huang Taiji reminded him to pay attention to the words and deeds of Zhang Yuan, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty in Korea, saying that Zhang Yuan might be a big problem for the Ming Dynasty——

    Now recalling what Huang Taiji said, Nalanbakshi deeply regretted that he had taken it lightly. He never expected that Zhang Yuan, as an envoy, could trigger a coup in North Korea. The crime of deposing Gwanghae Jun was that Jianzhou was disloyal to the Ming Dynasty.  From this, it can be seen that Zhang Yuan was extremely hostile to Jianzhou and regarded Jianzhou as his great enemy. He was not as arrogant as other Ming officials. This is evident from the fact that Zhang Yuan was proficient in Jurchen language.

    Zhang Yuan translated Nabatean's provocative words without getting angry. He looked at Nalanbaksh and said, "The arrogant man in the night is the frog in the well. Do you know these two allusions?"

    Speaking of it, not many Jianzhou Jurchens knew the meaning of these two idioms. Nalan Bakshi was among these few people. He wanted to explain these two idioms on the spot to show his knowledge, but after thinking about it, he still  Forget it, he snorted coldly and responded with disdain, and said: "What's the point of showing off these flashy words? If you really have the ability, send someone out to fight Nabata Niulu Ezhen alone." After that, he spoke to Nabata in Jurchen language.  Tai said a few words——

    Nabatean raised his head and stared at Zhang Yuan, and then looked provocatively at Mu Jingyan who was beside Zhang Yuan. The day before yesterday, Mu Jingyan stabbed a brave Jurchen to death. Nabatean witnessed it with his own eyes at that time, and expected that if Zhang Yuan agreed to let him  If anyone wants to fight him alone, it must be this big man with a yellow beard who takes action. Although this big man with a yellow beard has a strong physique and strong martial arts, Nabataeus has nothing to fear. He can only kill one person. If he can kill this yellow man in a fight  If the Han Dynasty must die together, it will also enhance the majesty of the Eight Banners Soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the wise Khan will show great sympathy to his family members.  It’s glorious to die——

    Mu Jingyan originally wanted to step forward to destroy the majesty of this Jurchen, but when he saw Wang Zongyue taking a step forward as if he wanted to take action, he stayed put. When Zhang Yuan gave the signal, Zhang Yuan turned his head and looked at Wang Zongyue and said: "Wang Zongyue  Master, are you willing to teach this slave a lesson?"

    Wang Zongyue straightened his back, cupped his fists and said, "As ordered." He tightened his belt and took two steps forward.

    Unexpectedly, Nabataeus, who had a huge head and a short neck, mumbled in Jurchen language.  There were few people present who could understand Jurchen dialect, but Wang Zongyue understood it. Zhang Yuan learned Jurchen dialect from Wang Zongyue——

    Ruan Dacheng asked Zhang Yuan: "What nonsense is this slave talking about?"

    Zhang Yuan smiled and said in a low voice: "This Jian Nu has no eyesight -"

    Wang Zongyue stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This Jiannu thinks I am old and wants to fight Mu Baihu. Hehe, is Wang Zongyue old?" He immediately said to Nabatean in Jurchen language: "You are going to defeat the king.  A certain person can challenge Mu Baihu."

    Nabatean looked at Wang Zongyue up and down with squinting eyes. Wang Zongyue was about fifty years old. He was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. There was nothing special about his body except that his hands were slightly larger than ordinary people. He said with a sinister smile: "Okay then.  . I will fight you first." He said fiercely in his heart: "I will break all your bones." He raised his hands to threaten Wang Zongyue. Nabatean's hands were tied with beef tendon ropes.

    Narambakshi sneered: "Is Zhang Zhuangyuan going to let Nabatean fight with this man with his hands tied?" He thought to himself: "If we find an opportunity to let Nabatean kill Zhang Yuan, then it is worth our two deaths here."  ”

    Wang Zongyue said: "This is unreasonable. Of course we should give it a try."

    Zhang Yuan waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, there will be another duel tomorrow. I will invite His Highness Ling Yang and North Korean officials to watch the battle together."

    Nabatean was secretly happy. He knew that he would not be able to survive this time, but if he died in the battle, he would help a few people to support him.  It will definitely deter those mediocre officials in Southern and North Korea.  No regrets even if you die.

    Nalanbaksh was of course more thoughtful and frowned slightly.  Staring at Wang Zongyue, he really couldn't see what was so powerful about this half-old Han man, but looking at Zhang Yuan's determination, he seemed to be sure of victory. However, when he thought about it, as long as Zhang Yuan agreed to the duel, he would have a chance. He believed that Naba  Thai——

    Nalanbakshi and Nabatean were taken away to be imprisoned. Zhang Yuan sent someone to report to Lingyang Jun Li Zhu, requesting to arrange such a duel. Ruan Dacheng was very dissatisfied with Zhang Yuan's publicity of a decisive battle with a Jurchen prisoner.  I understand, I just think that Zhang Yuan is a good boy, and Ruan Dacheng knows nothing about Wang Zongyue. He is afraid that Wang Zongyue will lose in this battle and lose the face of the Celestial Dynasty in front of the Koreans. He asks Zhen Zidan about Wang Zongyue's situation. Zhen Zidan doesn't know much about Wang Zongyue.  , said: "Wang Zongyue is the bodyguard hired by Master Zhang, and his martial arts must be very strong. Don't worry, Master Ruan."

    Although he said this, Zhen Zidan was not at ease in his heart. He had seen the fierceness of the Jurchens. If it was him to deal with that Nabatean, he did not dare to say that he had a chance of winning. There were more than a hundred people in the Ming Dynasty envoy, except Zhang YuanIn addition, only Mu Jingyan, Hong Ji, and Hong Xin firmly believed that Wang Zongyue would not fail and that Wang Zongyue was invincible in foot combat. Both Mu Jingyan and Hong had experienced Shaolin monks. Zhang Yuan arranged for Wang Zongyue and Nabata  The duel will definitely dampen the Jurchens' energy. Although there will be no other Jurchens in Wang Jing's Seoul to watch the battle, rumors will spread to Jianzhou——

    ……

    At three o'clock on May 18th, Zhang Yuan and Ruan Dacheng, accompanied by Li Zhu, Lord of Ayang, who was in charge of state affairs, and Yu Yan, the judge of the Ministry of Rites, went to Qingxi Palace to meet Princess Renmu. Zheng Renhong, the judge of the former Li Cao, was imprisoned for questioning.  Later, Li Zhu appointed Yu Yan to be in charge of Li Cao. Yu Yan was originally a peripheral figure of the Dabei faction and did not participate in the deposed concubines and the murder of Yong'an. The Dabei faction was quite powerful. It was impossible for Li Zhu to eliminate and disparage them all, so he had to win over them.  Differentiation——

    Li Zhu asked Zhang Yuan to ride in a carriage with him. The carriage drove to the Qingxi Palace in the west of the city. Li Gui's soldiers were guarding him along the way. The Korean people on the street went about their business and the streets were quite peaceful. Li Zhu had already  After basically controlling the situation in Wang Jing, Li Zhu also expressed confusion when talking about the duel with the Jurchen prisoners. At this time, he asked Zhang Yuan in person, but Zhang Yuan asked back: "Does Your Highness know the serious consequences of ambushing Nalan Baksh and his party?  "

    Li Zhu frowned. Nurhachi sent an envoy to North Korea, but was killed and taken prisoner. Nurhachi was naturally furious, fearing that he would raise troops to attack North Korea, and said: "The traitors dare to do something against heaven, and our country will  You should follow Master Wang in the expedition." This was Li Zhu's change of opinion.

    Zhang Yuandao: "Nurhachi is not a foolhardy person. I don't expect him to dare to use troops against North Korea for the time being. Otherwise, if our Ming army attacks his home base of Hetuala, how will he look at both ends?"

    Li Zhu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Zhang Yuan said. During the Japanese Rebellion in Imchen, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to help. If the Ruonu chieftain attacked North Korea, the Ming Dynasty had no reason to sit idly by. However, he heard Zhang Yuan change his subject: "But if you  The state's border preparations were lax and its army was incapable of fighting. There was no guarantee that the Jiannu army would not march straight in. It was only a ten-day march from the Yalu River to Seoul. Nurha Chishe did not attack the fortified city and went straight to Seoul. The Ming army had to support it.  If it's too late, I'm afraid the disaster of Renchen will happen again."

    ??Li Zhu felt suddenly heavy. The Imjin Japanese Rebellion 20 years ago caused North Korea to suffer huge losses. North Korea, which is now full of ills, really cannot afford such a disaster!

    Zhang Yuan put heavy pressure on the young Korean king who was just beginning to take over the throne, and then said in a calm tone: "The day before yesterday, there was an ambush in Beiyue Mountain. Thirteen Jurchens were surrounded and suppressed by Li Duhu's 300 elite soldiers.  He was able to kill and injure nearly a hundred people and almost escaped. When word spread about this, it had a huge impact on the morale of your country's military and also encouraged the ambitions of the Jian thieves. In the future, when your soldiers fight with the Jian thieves, they panic first, which is extremely disadvantageous, so  I asked my men to duel with the Jurchen prisoners just to make up for the losses of that day. Of course, military morale and morale must be backed by strength, otherwise it will be broken by just a poke from a paper tiger. No matter how high the morale is, it will be completely frustrated if repeated defeats occur.  Therefore, His Highness's first priority after stabilizing the political situation is to strengthen the army. Your country has always had brave and good archers. Don't be superstitious about firearms. Of course you must have firearms. You must not lose cavalry and bows and arrows. Don't rely entirely on the support of the Ming Dynasty. Please be aware of the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty.  It is impossible to arrive in a moment, the country must strengthen itself to protect itself, and if Yizhou's border defenses are strong, Nurhachi will not dare to initiate a provocation easily, because he is afraid of being attacked from both ends."

    Li Jie solemnly nodded: "I'm sorry to learn from you. Mr. Zhang is far-sighted and sincerely thinking about the safety of our country. I'm grateful to you. I'll definitely recruit many people who are good at shooting to strengthen Yizhou's border defense. If you build a thief,  Anyone who dares to attack will be struck head-on."

    Zhang Yuan slowly exhaled a breath, feeling much more relaxed physically and mentally. He asked the King of Korea to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and to strengthen North Korea's military preparations to cope with the upcoming war. This was the main purpose of his trip to North Korea. Now it can be said that it has been basically achieved.  , although I don’t know how effective Li Shu’s strategy of strengthening the army will be in the future, Li Shu has already felt the crisis and pressure, and will definitely pay attention to the Yalu River defense line. This is enough. After all, North Korea is not the main force to deal with Nurhaci——

    When getting off the bus at the gate of Qingxi Palace, Li Zhu suddenly remembered something and asked, "Who will Mr. Zhang send to fight the Jurchen prisoner? Can victory be guaranteed?"

    Zhang Yuan smiled slightly: "It's Wang Zongyue, the master who taught me Tai Chi. If we fight alone, he will win."

    Along the way, Zhang Yuan saw Wang Zongyue, Mu Jingyan, Hong, and Hong Xin practicing martial arts and fighting. Wang Zongyue was not only superb in boxing, but also in Tai Chi sword and Tai Chi marksmanship. Mu Jingyan's marksmanship was passed down from his ancestors.  Even though it has been tempered over and over again, it is no match for Wang Zongyue's Tai Chi Spear. Unfortunately, Wang Zongyue's marksmanship requires decades of hard work and training and cannot be achieved quickly, so it cannot be promoted in the military——

    Li Zhu was now obeying Zhang Yuan's advice. Since Zhang Yuan said that this battle would be won, he had nothing to worry about and said: "Then the battle will be held at the beginning of Shen Shi in the afternoon of today at the Changqing Palace Hall, so that the civil and military officials can  Everyone comes to watch the battle.”

    As soon as Zhang Yuan and Li Zhu got off the car, a group of palace maids and chambermaids came out of Qingxi Palace, headed by a man.The palace servants in dark blue palace clothes prostrated themselves: "Concubine Renmu specially ordered the servants to greet His Highness Ayang-kun and the two angels."

    Zhang Yuan's hearing was stronger than his eyesight, so he couldn't see the face of the palace man clearly, but he could tell by the voice that he was happy and kind.
