At Sydney's suggestion, the Fushun Chamber of Commerce was established!
The entire Fushun Chamber of Commerce stands together through thick and thin, and will make big money with Dongguo!
Because of their shared interests, they are also the most powerful partners.
On April 13, 1618 (the third year of the Tianming era), Nurhaci "proclaimed to Heaven" and swore an oath, publicly issuing the "Seven Grievances" proclamation to attack the Ming Dynasty, officially launching his rebellion against the Ming.
On the surface, this manifesto was an accusation of the Ming Dynasty's "persecution" of the Jianzhou Jurchens and Nurhaci's grandfather. In reality, it was a tool used by Nurhaci to incite hatred among the Jurchens towards the Central Plains in order to achieve his own goals.
In that year, Nurhaci also led the Qing army to capture the three fortresses of Fu'an, Sancha, and Baijiachong, and swore an oath at Hetu Ala.
His goal was to occupy parts of Liaodong and Liaoxi, and he successfully achieved this goal through battles such as Sarhu, Shenyang, and Liaoyang.
In the fourth year of the Tianming era (1619), Nurhaci achieved a major victory in the Battle of Sarhu.
In the fifth year of Tianming (1620), Nurhaci took advantage of the change of commander in Liaodong, the low morale of the army, the disorder of the border defense, and the fact that the supervising general Yuan Yingtai was unaware of the military situation, and decided to launch an attack on Shenyang and Liaoyang.
In the same year, Nurhaci successfully occupied Shenyang and Liaoyang, further consolidating the Later Jin's rule in Liaodong.
In the sixth year of the Tianming era (1621), Nurhaci moved the capital from Hetu Ala to Liaoyang.
During his time in Liaoyang, he implemented the "land allocation based on population" policy, which meant allocating land according to the number of people in the population.
At the same time, he also appointed Han officials and won over the Mongols in order to strengthen the regime.
In the eighth year of Tianming (1623), Nurhaci was attacked by the naval and land forces of Yuan Keli, the governor of Dengzhou and Laizhou under the Ming dynasty, and his general Liu Xingzuo was also persuaded to defect.
In March of the tenth year of the Tianming era (1625), Nurhaci moved the capital to Shenyang.
Because of the influence of the pear on the children, Nurhaci stopped massacring wealthy Han Chinese households.
Dai Shan's appeasement, Dong Guo's chamber of commerce, Chu Ying's scare tactics, and Xiao Xibao's propaganda.
The Liaodong region, on the contrary, has become even more prosperous!
In the eleventh year of Tianming (1626), Nurhaci mainly fought the Battle of Ningyuan, where he was defeated by the Ming general Yuan Chonghuan with Portuguese-made cannons. This battle was a major setback in Nurhaci's military career, in which he was wounded and felt deeply frustrated.
In mid-July of the same year, Nurhaci suffered from carbuncles and went to Qinghe Hot Spring for treatment, but his condition did not improve.
Xue Li was taken to Qinghe Hot Spring by Chu Ying!
Sherry knew in her heart that Nurhaci's time was coming to an end, but looking at his haggard and pale face...
I think that beauty doesn't necessarily fade with age, but he was truly at the end of his heroic journey!
"Qing'er!" Nurhaci looked at her with a faint smile.
Sherry remained calm and composed, her eyes lowered, unsure of what to say.
"I missed you!" Nurhaci said with a smile.
"You should take good care of yourself and get well soon!" Sherry looked at him with some complicated feelings.
After all, this man, who had fought for many years and always appeared brave and wise, was now incredibly vulnerable...
"Qing'er~ Qing'er~" Nurhaci wanted to take her hand.
Sherry remained silent.
"Qing'er, do you hate me?" Nurhaci suddenly asked.
"How could that be?!" Sherry smiled.
"I don't believe you don't know that I once had murderous intent towards you!" Nurhaci's eyes suddenly sharpened.
Sherry leaned lazily against the bedside, not looking at him: "What? Regretting sparing my life?!"
"Hehe, I am even more grateful that you are here. Just thinking of you fills me with strength!" Nurhaci suddenly reached out and gently stroked her face.
"So, you're after my good looks?!" Sherry's posture was languid, her eyes full of charm.
"Heh, maybe so. I just regret it, I regret agreeing to your divorce!"
Upon hearing this, Sherry looked at him with disdain and rolled her eyes at him.
Nurhaci suddenly laughed: "I should have kept you by my side. With your intelligence, you wouldn't insist that I take your surname! And you wouldn't be unable to tolerate other women. You know, in my heart, there is only you!"
Sherry glanced at him with disdain: "Don't worry, if you don't take them seriously, they won't take you seriously either!"
"And what about you?" Nurhaci stared intently at her.
"Heh~ Guess!" Shirley looked at him with a serene expression, as if a bodhisattva were bowing her head.
“If things hadn’t turned out this way, we would still be a happy family of five!” Nurhaci looked into her eyes, which were as dark as the sea.
"No way, I don't want to share my man with anyone else!" Sherry wrinkled her delicate nose.
"So, I just left and you married another one right after?! Cough cough..." Nurhaci was still a little angry as he said this, and he couldn't stop coughing.
"You mean I married too few?" Sherry took a step back and sat down properly.
“Qing’er—that is, you!” Nurhaci suddenly said in a deep voice, leaning back quietly.
Sherry looked around, and after a long while, Nurhaci suddenly spoke: "So I have regretted more than once why I chose the worst step back then, which is why you are so wary of me!"
Sherry glanced at him and smiled sweetly, "You reap what you sow~"
"Therefore, I will never be able to have another son in my life!" After a long while, Nurhaci's voice drifted over.
Sherry remained calm and composed, her face displaying a half-smile.
“It doesn’t matter. Only your son is worthy of my Khanate!” Nurhaci’s words almost made Sherry lose her composure.
He rolled his eyes at him and continued to lean softly against him.
“I will pass the throne to Daišan; he is shrewd and adept at imperial politics, while Chuying is too impulsive and easily angered!” Nurhaci paused for a moment before continuing, “You must come with me—”
"If you dare to make me die with you, I'll kill you right now!" Sherry suddenly stood up, looking at him coldly, a dazzling dagger at her waist.
She didn't do it herself because she wanted him to suffer a grueling death! How much more pleasant would death be?! To die weak and bedridden, unable to take care of himself—that kind of death must have been far more agonizing for someone who once held sway over everything!
"Hehe, if we can't share a bed in life, then let's share a grave in death! Otherwise, I don't mind making them kill each other! You know I'm capable of doing it!" Nurhaci said, reaching for her hand.
"Oh? What about your little beauties?" Sherry sat down again, secretly rolling her eyes at him.
“Just you and me!” Nurhaci said, and Sherry responded.
Anyway, I have no credibility. Sherry thought to herself, at worst, she'd bring him a nice younger brother to keep him company!
Anyway, they belong to the Aisin Gioro family!
Sherry understood perfectly well.
Nurhaci didn't say anything more, after all, it would be his son's world from now on!
All he can get is a promise from Sherry!
Given the filial piety of her children, she would surely be the most honored woman in the entire Jin Dynasty!
He had considered having Shirley die with him, but he feared that the dynasty he had worked so hard to build would fall apart again!
Besides, he couldn't bear to part with it!
After all, the children admired and respected him, but they were even closer to their mother!
He understood better than anyone else, and he also envied Dongguo and her brother.
They were luckier than him; their mothers always looked after them, and he, as their father, treated his children just as well!
