Chapter 357: Huang Taiji's breakthrough, shocking all those who disobey
In the middle of the Mongolian Khorchin tribe stands a huge golden tent.
The area within a hundred miles centered on the golden tent had been cleared out by the soldiers of the Plain Yellow Banner led by Oboi, Turg and Yangguli, and no outsiders were allowed to enter.
Yesterday, Huang Taiji, who had just led his army to the Khorchin tribe, had a happy gathering with his cheap father-in-law Zhaisang. After drinking for a while, he suddenly felt a surge of energy and felt that the bottleneck of his level five peak had been completely loosened!
This is a big deal!
He immediately ordered the army to rest in the Khorchin tribe, and then ordered the evacuation of all idle people. He instructed Aoba and the soldiers of the Plain Yellow Banner to be responsible for vigilance, and then took a thousand-year-old blood ginseng he brought with him, and immediately entered the golden tent of the central army and began his retreat to break through.
"Aobai, is the Khan really breaking through to the sixth level?"
Yangguli looked in the direction of the Golden Tent and asked Aobai in shock.
Until now, he still couldn't believe it.
Since Huang Taiji's achievements had never been publicized to the outside world, the military and civilians of the Later Jin clan had always believed that their Khan was a man of great talent and strategy, unparalleled in the world in both civil and military skills, but in terms of military strength, he was only first-rate and not particularly outstanding.
And everything that happened now almost overturned the cognition of all the Later Jin soldiers!
Sixth level of cultivation!
In today's world, among the known existing human populations, no one has ever heard of anyone breaking through to this level.
Even the two most famous masters in the Ming Dynasty, Cao Bianjiao and Lu Xiangsheng, and Baturu Aoba of the Later Jin clan, were only at the peak of level five.
Now, his own Khan suddenly announced that he would go into seclusion immediately to break through to level six!
This was like a bolt from the blue, shocking almost all the Later Jin soldiers!
Especially Dorgon, the Dodo brothers, Amin and others, their faces turned pale and even their bodies were shaking slightly!
For a long time, Huang Taiji was criticized by his clansmen not only because he was not the eldest son or the legitimate son, but also because his cultivation level was not outstanding.
In the Later Jin clan that respects the strong, if Huang Taiji can successfully break through to the initial stage of level six this time, it will be enough to suppress all the voices of opposition, and in the future no one in the clan will have any objection to his being the Great Khan!
This was absolutely devastating news for Dorgon, the Dodo brothers, and Amin, who all had their own little thoughts!
For a moment, the three of them thought about starting a rebellion and killing Huang Taiji, who had not yet broken through the sixth level, to put an end to it once and for all.
But how could Huang Taiji, a great hero, make such a big mistake?
He immediately ordered two yellow flags, one inside and one outside, to surround the central army tent, and cleared out all the idle people within a radius of a hundred miles.
Except for the two yellow flags, anyone who enters the area of 100 miles around the Golden Tent at this time will be regarded as a rebel and will be killed on the spot!
This operation immediately put an end to the thoughts of Dorgon, Dodo and Amin, and they could only pray to heaven in their hearts that Huang Taiji would fail in his attempt to break through to the next level.
But considering Huang Taiji's shrewdness, how could he make a rash breakthrough without sufficient preparation?
If nothing unexpected happens, his retreat and breakthrough this time will most likely be successful.
"Yanguli, just do your guard duty!"
Aobai shouted at Yangguli, "Who is the Khan? Don't you know?"
"For something as crucial as this, he would of course announce a breakthrough only when he was absolutely sure."
"This is not something you can joke about. All level 5 practitioners know that no one can bear the consequences of failing to break through a major realm."
"I bet that the Khan will succeed in breaking through to the sixth level during this retreat, and will become a powerful master who will lead our Great Jin clan to an extremely bright future!"
If we were to ask who among the Later Jin clan had the most confidence in Huang Taiji, it would be none other than Abahai.
Even Oboi could not have imagined that his own Khan would hide so deeply, not only did he quietly cultivate to the peak level of level five, but he even broke through to the level six earlier than himself.
But this is a great thing, and it is definitely a huge blessing for the Later Jin clan.
As long as Huang Taiji can successfully break through to the early stage of level six, all the internal troubles hidden within the Later Jin clan will disappear in an instant!
Coupled with Huang Taiji's prestige, he can overwhelm all dissatisfaction!
The cohesion of the entire Later Jin clan will immediately be raised to a higher level, and the potential and combat effectiveness that will be unleashed in the future will be extremely terrifying, and it is not impossible to make the enemy terrified.
Especially when the army goes out on an expedition, it will undoubtedly boost morale.
Li Dingguo and his Fuxing Army will be in great trouble, and there is no doubt that they will be wiped out in one fell swoop.
Unfortunately, what Oboi didn't know was that Li Dingguo had already broken through to the early stage of level six two months ago, much earlier than Huang Taiji.
Once the two met and engaged in a life-and-death battle, it would probably shock all the Later Jin Tartar soldiers who were watching.
Want to kill Li Dingguo?
This is undoubtedly a luxury, and it is probably a luxury that the Later Jin clan will never be able to realize.
"Yanguli, stop talking nonsense here. Go check the surroundings immediately. If you find anything unusual, suppress it immediately!"
"Whoever dares to cause trouble at this time, don't blame me, Aobai, for being ruthless and killing him on the spot!"
Abahai then shouted at Yangguli and stopped talking to him. He looked around with his big eyes, and at the same time, he used his spiritual power to lock onto all movements within a radius of ten miles.
Any disturbance of any kind could not escape his divine sense detection.
After Yangguli left and took a group of white-armored soldiers to patrol everywhere, Aobai was still a little worried, so he called over a clan guardian bird, the Saker Falcon, and flew to its back and sat down.
Then he rode it to a height of three thousand feet, and circled in the air with the golden tent where Huang Taiji was in seclusion as the center.
In this way, the situation within a radius of a thousand miles can basically be seen at a glance.
Abahai heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin, the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Army, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army were all waiting obediently.
It has to be said that when it comes to loyalty to Huang Taiji, Oboi is firmly ranked first among the Later Jin clan.
Even Hauge could not compare to Oboi in this respect.
Huang Taiji was very good at judging people and had always trusted and valued Oboi. Even this time, when it came to a major breakthrough that was crucial to himself and the Later Jin clan, he left it to Oboi to be fully responsible for security and alert work.
This is also the reason why even Yangguli had to listen to Oboi's arrangements.
Otherwise, Oboi would not be qualified to give orders to Yangguli.
The clan's spiritual bird, the Saker Falcon, which Aobai sat on, and its partner were also brought along by Huang Taiji on this expedition.
Under Huang Taiji's vigorous training, the remaining pair of Saker Falcons of the Later Jin clan have now reached the late fifth level.
Perhaps they were lucky, as they laid two eggs half a year ago and hatched two chicks.
Now the two baby birds have grown to the initial stage of level four, and have a certain combat capability.
In order to strengthen the aerial reconnaissance capabilities of the Later Jin expeditionary army, Huang Taiji ordered that the two young birds be taken along as well.
Although the young birds could not be ridden into the sky, they could already understand human language and it was no problem for them to patrol the sky for enemy situations. The Saker Falcon was the rarest eagle.
So far, the Later Jin people have not been able to discover any new populations of Saker Falcons.
We did see some other eagle-like birds, but any eagle is difficult to catch, and their nests are all in remote areas where few people go, so they are hard to find.
In addition, these top-level spiritual birds are too powerful and too fast to be hunted or captured by humans.
Even a chick that is only a few months old is much faster than most level 4 spirit birds.
So far, the Later Jin clan has not been able to add any other spiritual bird, the eagle, to their clan.
The situation of the Later Jin clan is the same as that of the Restoration Army, which has not added any other eagle-like spirit birds for such a long time. Both sides are the same.
Seeing that the Saker Falcon was being led by Oboi and circling in the sky at an altitude of three thousand feet, the remaining three Saker Falcons, one big and two small, also flapped their wings and flew into the air, patrolling in the sky with the golden tent where Huang Taiji was as the center.
This made the two million soldiers even more afraid to act rashly. They stayed where they were to rest and remained on high alert.
In this area, even the Khorchin people were driven away and temporarily resettled on the grasslands hundreds of miles away.
Dayuer, together with her father Zhaisang, her brother Wu Keshan, and her sister Hailanzhu, were staying on a snowy field a hundred miles away, looking in the direction of Huang Taiji's retreat, feeling very nervous.
"Sister, don't be so nervous. It's useless to worry anyway. Everything depends on the Khan's own situation."
Hailanzhu said to her sister Dayuer while comforting her, "I think the Khan was very confident before he announced his retreat to break through. There is a high probability that he can successfully break through to the sixth level."
"By then, the rise of the Later Jin clan will no longer be blocked, and soaring to the sky will be a piece of cake."
Hai Lanzhu, who is already 25 years old, has not yet married.
Unlike her younger sister Dayuer, who had married Huang Taiji eight years ago.
You should know that Hailanzhu is four years older than her younger sister Dayuer.
When Dayuer was thirteen years old, she was sent to the Later Jin clan by her brother Wu Keshan to marry Huang Taiji.
At that time, Huang Taiji's status was not as high as his brother Daishan.
At that time, the Later Jin clan, including Nurhaci, regarded Daishan as the heir of the Later Jin clan.
Who would have thought that as time passed, it would be Huang Taiji who ascended the throne of the Great Khan.
There is no doubt that in today's era, 25-year-old Hai Lanzhu is already an older leftover woman.
It wasn't that she was not good enough and couldn't get married, but that Hailanzhu, who was known as the most beautiful woman on the grassland, had too high standards and looked down on everyone. She completely ignored the urging of her father and brothers and refused to get married.
This delay has been delayed until now.
According to the established history, it was when the Later Jin army returned victoriously from the invasion of the Ming Dynasty that Huang Taiji's reputation once again soared on the grassland. Then, Hai Lanzhu formally proposed marriage to Zhaisang. Her brother Wu Keshan sent Hai Lanzhu to Shengjing City to marry Huang Taiji.
"Hai Lanzhu, father wants to discuss something with you."
Zhaisang looked at the direction where Huang Taiji was in seclusion, his face turned green and red for a while, and then he made a decision and said to his precious daughter, "Huang Taiji was originally an extraordinary hero, with the ambition to swallow up the world."
"In my father's opinion, you should be the greatest hero in the world."
"After his breakthrough in this retreat, he will undoubtedly establish this reputation, and all heroes in the world will bow to him."
"After all, in today's world, including the Ming Dynasty, among all the human forces, no one has ever heard of anyone breaking through to the sixth level. Huang Taiji should be the first one."
"Hai Lanzhu, you said you wanted to marry the most powerful hero in the world, why don't you consider Huang Taiji."
"You are the brightest pearl on the grassland. Apart from Huang Taiji, there is no other hero in the world who can match you."
It has to be said that Huang Taiji's public announcement that he would go into seclusion to break through to the sixth level had a greater impact on the Khorchin tribe of Mongolia than on the Later Jin clan.
If Huang Taiji, who was already extremely powerful, became the strongest man on the grassland, there would be no doubt that the Later Jin clan would rise completely.
Worshiping the strong has always been a tradition on the grassland, especially for Zhaisang, the cunning chief of the Khorchin tribe.
As for letting two daughters marry the same husband, it was nothing for the grassland tribes.
According to the custom on the prairie, it is countless for mothers and daughters to marry the same husband, and it is not uncommon for mothers and daughters to marry their sons.
As long as you are strong enough, in the survival concept of the people on the prairie, you should have all the best things.
The survival rule that the strong are respected is vividly demonstrated on the prairie.
"Yes! Sister, you always insist that you either don't marry or you must marry the world's number one hero. You don't have an excuse to refuse this time, right?"
"When the Khan breaks through to level six, who among all the human forces in the world can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Khan?"
Dayuer also joked, "Even in the Ming Dynasty, which has an incalculable population, there is no one who can compare with the Khan in terms of civil and military strategy!"
"I would like to ask, who in the world today is worthy of being called a hero, except the Khan?"
Dayuer's words were filled with incomparable pride, her little face held high, as if she no longer took any heroes in the world seriously.
"This……"
Hailanzhu still couldn't make up her mind, and then said hesitantly, "Let's wait until Huang Taiji returns from his expedition to the Ming Dynasty."
"If he can still make the Ming Dynasty surrender this time, lead two million soldiers and defeat the Ming Dynasty, and truly establish the title of the world's number one hero, I will consider your suggestions."
"I have sworn to Changshengtian that I will only marry the world's number one hero in this life. Otherwise, I will be alone for the rest of my life."
"We, the children of the prairie, take our oaths very seriously and never go back on our words."
Hai Lanzhu glanced at her sister Dayuer, then looked in the direction where Huang Taiji was in seclusion, with a complicated look in her eyes.
Not only her, but also Zhaisang, Wu Keshan and Dayuer beside her were the same. They looked in the direction where Huang Taiji was in seclusion, and their feelings were very complicated.
There is no point in saying more now.
All the ideas in everyone's mind could only be put into practice after Huang Taiji successfully broke through and returned victoriously with an army of two million.
