Xueli, a snake demon who had been cultivating diligently in the deep mountains for 500 years, was caught by a passing system just as she was barely surviving a lightning tribulation. She then sough...
"Son, I've decided on Japan. They appear humble but are cunning and deceitful. They'll be dealt with sooner or later, which will make room for your mother!"
Loge put it bluntly.
After all, in his memory, Sherry had often said things like, "How can I tolerate someone else snoring beside my bed? Just like that Japan~"
Huang Taiji was somewhat surprised, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "You may all step back now. We will discuss this matter further!"
Loge couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, his puffed-up face mirroring Sherry's perfectly.
Huang Taiji couldn't help but recall their happy past.
However, he was dissatisfied with his own distraction when dealing with important matters.
But when the night is deserted, one gradually lets their emotions run wild under the cover of darkness.
Every morning, looking at the marks on his pillow, he felt that he couldn't stay here anymore, and he couldn't see Hauge and the others again.
So Huang Taiji didn't hesitate much and agreed.
However, since Nurhaci held absolute power, there wasn't much he could do.
Hauge received a portion of his private army, as well as some artillery.
Haug seemed to let slip that a soldier had taken him to a brothel, but he hadn't dared to go and had been laughed at.
Huang Taiji suddenly realized that the child had grown up and was old enough to get married.
Huang Taiji pondered for a moment, torn between the Dong'e tribe and the Niohuru family.
Heheli, the leader of the Dong'e tribe, was one of Nurhaci's most trusted advisors, possessing outstanding military talent and strategic acumen.
The Niohuru clan made outstanding contributions. Even though his relationship with his first wife was lukewarm, and even though his first wife was reprimanded and divorced by Nurhaci, the Niohuru clan had no complaints.
Or rather, they know what they want and won't lose their sense of propriety because of a woman.
Both of these families are suitable for Haug.
Huang Taiji simply asked Hauge what he thought.
Hauge listened to his brother's words and felt that he might get a wife today.
I just never expected it to actually happen!
Hauge scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and said, "My wife should be beautiful and intelligent, and preferably her family can help me take over Japan. But we can get engaged first, as I need to observe mourning for my mother."
Huang Taiji was somewhat surprised, but more than that, he was satisfied.
Although Hauge is a bit rough around the edges and a bit reckless, he is surprisingly filial.
After a moment's thought, Huang Taiji decided to arrange for him to marry a princess from the Niohuru clan.
After all, the actions of the Dong'e clan did not suit his taste.
The Niohuru clan must be unwilling to live an ordinary life, and may even be willing to take a gamble!
Huang Taiji simply sent a message to the Niohuru clan.
At the same time, Zhe Zhe was confined to her quarters and ordered to live in a humble room, eating simple meals and copying scriptures and praying for the First Princess.
Hauge boldly sought out a princess from the Niohuru clan and was so delighted that he arranged for her to become his wife.
Both sides were very satisfied, and the Niohuru clan and Huang Taiji were also very satisfied.
While the discussion was in full swing, Loge had already taken the blueprints given to him by Sherry and started setting up an arms factory on an island near Japan.
They also gathered some folk organizations that were dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty.
After all, their target is next door!
No one has to feel guilty, and they can still earn money for their parents, wife, and children.
Loge stumbled upon the first mercenary organization!
The goal is to take Japan directly.
Of course, they were just using the Ming Dynasty as a front.
Loge arranged for people to stir up trouble inside; those so-called rebels knew all too well the corrupt and incompetent officials of the Ming Dynasty.
Various overt and covert schemes fueled the Ming Dynasty's growing animosity towards Japan.
Are those in power unable to deal with the Later Jin anytime soon? Or are they unable to deal with the Japanese?
As a result, Japan suffered a massacre by two opposing forces!
Meanwhile, Huang Taiji successfully arranged a marriage for Hauge.
He was busy with his campaigns and only returned home occasionally. When he saw Wuyoudai's big belly, he couldn't help but think of Shirley.
I couldn't help but feel uneasy!
Until one day, watching Uyud's back, he suddenly broke down emotionally!
The servants around him were completely bewildered, after all, just a moment ago their master was as cold as ice.
Why did she suddenly burst into tears like that the next second?
Perhaps out of concern for his image, he cried quietly.
However, her body reacted uncontrollably; she cried so much that she couldn't stop her stomach cramps and leaned against a tree, trying to vomit but unable to.
Suddenly, a purse fell straight down on his head.
Huang Taiji stared blankly at the faded purse in his hand, and couldn't help but burst into tears while clutching it.
He seemed to remember something and stumbled back to his study.
I opened a closed box and hesitantly took out the purses one by one.
Huang Taiji opened one with red eyes, and suddenly couldn't help but cry again.
"My memory has been a bit hazy lately. Is it because I'm sick? I want to stay with Huang Taiji and the children for a very long time!"
He opened another one with trembling hands.
"My master has new wounds, and I feel so sorry and scared, but I can only force a smile and comfort him, saying that they are the medals of a hero."
"..."
After opening the purse and examining each item, I trembled uncontrollably.
Tears streamed down her face. She couldn't help but clutch her chest and open her mouth, as if she were suffocating and struggling to breathe, her eyes filled with confusion.
Huang Taiji stared blankly at the notes, and could even imagine the proud or resentful expression on Xue Li's face at that moment.
He meant to say that he didn't care about the Borjigit aunt and niece at all!
He wanted to say that he couldn't bear to see her die, even if they could never see each other again in this life, at least he would know that she was still alive.
He wanted to say that he regretted hurting her and wanted to give her more gold and silver jewelry as an apology.
He had so much to say, but it was all too late!
Huang Taiji suddenly couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Hearing the commotion, the guards waiting outside rushed in and stared wide-eyed at the sight before them.
"Buda, summon the physician, quickly!"
Another guard heard the sound, turned around, and ran out.
When Huang Taiji woke up, he was quite calm.
The servants were both surprised and delighted.
In his half-asleep state, Huang Taiji seemed to see Shirley with a little girl, boating and playing in the water.
He tried to go forward, but then he woke up.
He felt somewhat lost and disappointed!
The physician who was brought over glanced at Huang Taiji almost imperceptibly after taking his pulse.
That one glance made the doctor turn pale!
The guards followed his gaze and were shocked to find that their master's hair had turned completely white!
Huang Taiji himself remained calm, took the medicine, and went to sleep.
However, his gray braid still drew attention whenever he went out.
It is common knowledge that one cannot become like that without experiencing immense suffering.
Some rumors reached Nurhaci's ears.
Add to that the seemingly true but actually false rumors.
The statement that "Huang Taiji loved his deceased wife Ulanara so much that if you were to marry, you should marry the affectionate and virtuous Huang Taiji" is false.
What nonsense! "Huang Taiji was heartbroken by the death of his wife, and his hair turned white overnight!"
What "even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman"?
"..."
Even the general public created various stories and nursery rhymes to praise Huang Taiji's deep affection.
Huang Taiji's followers were extremely anxious.
When he learned of all this, his expression darkened slightly, and the next day he summoned the nanny who was taking care of Uyudei.
