In this world, there are only a few people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the greater good. What really drives people is self-interest.
When Tang Qi decided to let the Han slaves evacuate first, these people who were eager to escape caused a lot of chaos, which made Tang Qi change his mind temporarily.
Tang Qie originally planned to bring these tens of thousands of people under his command for training in order to expand his own strength. However, when he saw these people scrambling to escape and even fighting with others, Tang Qi understood that these people had been under the whip of the Jiannu for too long and had lost their manliness. It would cost too high to train such people into qualified fighters. Therefore, Tang Qi only ordered his men to transport these people to a place a little downstream of the Hunhe River, and then drove them ashore and let them escape on their own.
After this incident, Tang Qie understood even more deeply how powerful the Jiannu people were in their slave education. He also understood why, more than a hundred years later, only a few thousand Westerners were able to defeat the 400 million people of the Qing Dynasty. How could the slaves, who had no blood, not be defeated?
Tang Qi never regarded himself as a savior, so he was not willing to spend too much energy on these people. The Ming Dynasty had more than 100 million people, and these people were the foundation of a country and a nation. With so many people, Tang Qi did not have to worry about not having soldiers. As long as he had money, yes, as long as he had money, war in the era of hot weapons could not be separated from money.
When Huang Taiji's 20,000 troops arrived, Tang Li was left with only 3,000 soldiers and 4,000 Japanese auxiliaries. The extra people were later replenished by Xu Yuanhua, who also replenished a batch of ammunition for Tang Li and his men. Although the black people in Southeast Asia were consuming a large amount of ammunition, Tang Li now had enough silver, so there was no shortage of ammunition.
After Huang Taiji arrived in Shengjing, he heard his subordinates report that the casualties reached 9,000 people. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood again. However, this also calmed him down and he did not let his anger sway him to launch an attack. When he came to the bank of Hunhe River and saw the thousands of corpses in front of the position, his eyes couldn't help but twitch for a long time.
Huang Taiji was angry, but at the same time, there was also a trace of fear in his heart. This was the first time that Huang Taiji felt afraid. He now realized that the Ming Dynasty's muskets had undergone earth-shaking changes. The muskets that appeared in the Ming Dynasty army had begun to become the nemesis of the cavalry.
Although Huang Taiji now had an army of 20,000 at his disposal, he did not dare to launch an attack. He just kept watching the position in front of him, hoping to find some flaws. When his eyes fell on the high slope behind the position, he couldn't help but be stunned.
There was a man sitting on the high slope. What surprised Huang Taiji was that the man was holding a woman in his arms. He was very familiar with that woman. She was Dayuer, one of Huang Taiji's favorite concubines.
Huang Taiji never thought that one day he would suffer humiliation, which made him feel like vomiting blood again. As for women, Huang Taiji always treated them as sex toys. No matter how indifferent he was, Huang Taiji, who claimed to have learned a lot of Han culture, was also influenced by Han culture in his thoughts, and felt how green the hat on his head was.
Huang Taiji was in a bad mood, but Tang Yu was in a very good mood. Holding Dayu'er in his arms, he asked her with a smile: "Haha, Dayu'er, is that your husband? He's so fat, as fat as a pig. When you did that kind of thing with him, did you feel disgusted? Dayu'er, don't tell me that you like him from the bottom of your heart because of such a fat pig."
Dayu'er sighed softly, a handsome figure flashing through her mind. "I am just a weak woman, my fate is in the hands of men like you. Just like now, you can do whatever you want to me."
Dayuer did not answer Tang Yi's question directly, but her answer cleverly responded to Tang Yi's question without angering Tang Yi. Tang Yi appreciated her intelligence and hoped to win her over and make her his helper. However, he knew that this was not something that could be accomplished in a short period of time, but Tang Yi did not forget to undermine her confidence in the Jiannu at any time.
"You are very smart, Dayu'er. So far, you are the smartest woman I have ever met. Although I am not dissatisfied with this answer, I cannot refute it. However, as a man, I think that Huang Taiji may not be able to satisfy you in bed. How have you felt by my side these days?" Tang Yu paused and continued, "I think, with your intelligence, you should be able to see that I treat you better than that pig Huang Taiji treats you in every way. Then, you should also know that for you and your Khorchin people, this is an opportunity to make a choice. I hope that when the time comes, you and your people will not make the wrong choice of loyalty."
As Tang Li's voice became colder, he was not an excellent ruler, but he had been in the position of a ruler for so long that he had the aura of a ruler. Although he did not have the coldness of Huang Taiji, Dayuer could deeply feel the murderous decisiveness in Tang Li's tone.
Dayu'er shuddered slightly, revealing a look of pity. She sighed, "My lord, I am just a weak woman. What choice do I have? Although I am a princess of the Khorchin tribe, women on the grass are like property. I am just a gift from the Khorchin tribe to the Later Jin Dynasty. How can I influence the Khorchin tribe's decision?"
Tang Chen laughed heartily as he lifted Dayu'er's face. He looked at her jade-white skin and her pale blue eyes, like a lake of autumn water, and said slowly, "In the eyes of others, you may just be a precious gift. In my eyes, you are a heroine and a rare wise man. I'm not good at plotting and scheming, so I hope you can serve me and be my military advisor. After all, that's better than being a man's plaything like you."
Huang Taiji saw Tang Qi's action clearly from a distance and gnashed his teeth in anger: "This damned southern barbarian, I swear I will not be satisfied until I have cut him into pieces."
Dayu'er was in the Jiannu palace, and few Jiannu people had seen her. Otherwise, how could those Jiannu people not know that Huang Taiji was wearing a green hat? Seeing Huang Taiji's extreme anger at this time, it was only because Huang Taiji was angry because this Ming army had repeatedly defeated them, the Jiannu people. A kind-hearted subordinate of Huang Taiji flattered him: "The Khan is right. All the southern barbarians deserve to die, especially this southern barbarian. He is about to die, but he is still enjoying himself with a woman."
It would have been better if the man hadn't said anything. But when he did, Huang Taiji was so angry that he slapped the man in the face and said coldly, "Get out of here and find me a group of Ming women. I want to show those Ming people in front of the battlefield whether they are still men or not."
That person did not expect that Huang Taiji would vent his anger on him. After being stunned for a moment, he ran to carry out Huang Taiji's order. On Tang Qi's side, Dayu'er was surprised for a long time after hearing what Tang Qi said. As a rare smart woman, because of her intelligence, her heart was naturally unwilling to be lonely. But no matter whether it was the middle class or the common people, the status of women was low. Like Dayu'er, although she was a concubine of a country and her status seemed very high, through her essence, she was just a plaything of a powerful and influential man. How could she have too many opportunities to display her intelligence and talents, let alone participate in politics and wars openly as Tang Qi said.
"Your Excellency is joking. I am just a stupid person. How can I be a heroine? I don't know any conspiracy or intrigue. You are making fun of me, Your Excellency." Dayuer was a smart person after all. She quickly came to her senses and knew how to get the greatest benefit for herself. There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice, and she grasped it just right.
"There's no rush about this matter, and I don't want to force you to make a decision. You're a smart woman. Before the situation becomes clear, I don't think you'll make any decision too quickly. So, you'd better be my plaything for a while. After all, a woman as beautiful as you is rare in the world. No man would not want to hold you in his arms. What's more, this kind of thing can also make that pig Huang Taiji angry, which is also a very happy thing." Tang Qi knew in his heart that if he didn't hurt Huang Taiji on the battlefield and didn't show his strength in front of Dayuer, Dayuer would not be so willing to work for him so easily. So after a slight smile, Tang Qi reached out his hand to Dayuer's chest and ravaged it, but his eyes were looking at Huang Taiji in the distance, wanting to appreciate Huang Taiji's angry expression at this time.
Dayuer knew that Tang Lu did this to torture away her modesty and wanted to force him to surrender as soon as possible. However, the women on the grass were not like the women in the palace. There were no taboos between men and women. If it were not for Huang Taiji watching from a distance, Dayuer would have obediently cooperated with Tang Lu's actions.
At this time, Dayuer's non-resistance was the greatest obedience. Tang Qi might not have thought of this yet. Huang Taiji, who had a high IQ, saw that Dayuer did not resist in Tang Qi's arms. This made Huang Taiji furious. He raised the knife in his hand and yelled at Tang Qi.
