This diplomatic activity was highly valued by the Han army, and when Lin Feng received the news, he immediately recalled Li Guangdi, Chen Menglei and other giants, and discussed with Zhou Peigong and others.

After the Han army's intelligence agency was greatly derelict in its duties in the last Tuhai sneak attack, Chen Menglei carried out a strict rectification and cleanup of his subordinates, so now no matter the work efficiency or business scope has made a lot of progress, when Zhou Peigong ended the tentative contact with the Mongolian envoy, the ins and outs of this incident were quickly investigated.

If you really want to get to the bottom of the investigation, the cause of this matter really started with Zhao Guangyuan of the garrison Xuanhua.

Since the last Han army and Tuhai battle, Zhao Guangyuan's cavalry corps can be described as heavy casualties, so these days he has been trying to recover all the time, this time his situation is also very special, his current situation is more than war horses and insufficient soldiers - as we all know, as far as the training process of the cavalry unit is concerned, it takes at least ten months to turn a rookie from a peasant into a soldier who can get on the horse and kill the enemy, and whether the recruits have a riding foundation is particularly important for training. In the interior of the country, this problem of replenishing the supply of troops has become a problem for the Han army, although many efforts have been made, but the results have not been great, and it is really unacceptable to see that there are good war horses at hand but there are no qualified soldiers.

Later, because of the reasons of the displaced people, the original garrison of Xuanhua Wang Dahai was urgently rebuilt, and the only cavalry corps of the Han army was transferred to the front line of the Great Wall to guard against the Mongolian tribes, so the conscription problem took a turn for the better, and Zhao Guangyuan, who settled on the edge of the grassland, immediately began to lure Mongolian compatriots to serve as cannon fodder, and even more fortunately his luck was too good this time, because the Suiyuan area was wandering around at this time with scattered Mongolian warriors.

At the beginning of this year, the Suiyuan Chahar tribe held a large-scale demonstration, so that the Qing Dynasty Beijing was seriously dissatisfied, so it sent a large army led by Tuhai to intervene, because of insufficient preparation, Chahar quickly lost in the war, the tribal army was scattered, countless soldiers fled everywhere after the defeat, and because of the urgency of the military situation, Tuhai did not do the work cleanly, although he killed the rebellious Chahar prince but carefully let go of his family, When the Qing army retreated, the young little prince rebuilt the royal court with the support of the old people of the tribe, and tried his best to gather the scattered troops, so this time there was a fierce conflict with Zhao Guangyuan, who was stationed on the Great Wall, because of the relationship between the source of soldiers.

The organization model of the Mongolian cavalry in this era is still no different from the era of Genghis Khan in the twelfth century, the warriors are completely dependent on the tribal nobles and belong to the private property of the nobles. Under this sharp contradiction, the two sides negotiated several times without success, neither of them refused to give in to the other, and the war broke out almost immediately, but fortunately, after the defeat of the Chahar tribe, the old people had learned political skills in the war, and after careful investigation, they decided to settle it in the traditional way.

When all the information was put on Lin Feng's desk, the several giants present immediately fell into deep thought, the atmosphere in the hall of the Marshal's Mansion was tense and dull, but Lin Feng seemed a little absent-minded at this time, it was obvious that the matter in front of him was a reversed version of the Wang Zhaojun incident back then, standing in Lin Feng's position, in addition to the political aspect that needs to be carefully considered, the personal feelings also have to be taken care of.

After entering this era, Lin Feng has not carried out any emotional activities, frankly speaking, if it is to prevaricate with "busy official business" and the like, it is naturally hypocritical, the so-called erotic sex, this matter is basically the same as eating and, it belongs to human instinct - since you can find time to eat and, you will definitely be able to find time to engage women, and the reason why Lin Feng has always kept a low profile is mainly because the difference in aesthetic concepts is too great.

After the occupation of Beijing, the Han army captured a large number of female trophies, and to be honest, Lin Feng was also enthusiastic at the beginning of the military discipline inspection, but the result after the inspection was that the marshal himself was depressed for several days - the so-called "beauties" in this era are indeed unimaginable. According to the concept of the Manchus, the requirements of beauties are to have a straight chest and a bulging belly, a big face in a silver basin and a thick buttocks, there is no doubt that Lin Feng will not accept such a mark no matter what, to be honest, looking at these "beauties" with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, Lin Feng feels very insecure in addition to not having **.

The beauties of the Han nationality are slightly better, but they still have fatal flaws - according to the rules of this era, the age of virgins is generally limited to fourteen to sixteen years old, except for the fact that the body is not yet fully developed, almost all of them are wrapped around their little feet - this thing Lin Feng has seen a lot of biographies in later generations, and the written phrase "three-inch golden lotus" and the like are really intriguing, but after seeing it with their own eyes, they immediately regurgitate - in addition to the extreme smell, this little foot is also too terrifying, Imagine a normal human being who makes his feet into a deformity similar to a "horse's hoof" to achieve the purpose of fusing with the lower leg to form a whole cylinder...... Although Lin Feng thinks that he belongs to the category of extremely adaptable, he is still insensitive to this.

was pondering a way to shirk in his heart, and Zhou Peigong, who was in the hall, stepped forward and said, "Handsome...... I have discussed with Jin Qing and Ze Zhen, and this matter is indeed beneficial to our army......" He glanced at Lin Feng, whose expression was extremely unnatural, and said with a straight face, "So please also ask the marshal...... This is about big things! ”

"Oh, you mean I have to do it?!"

"This ...... Cough...... cough ......" Zhou Peigong's face turned red, and he secretly glanced at Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei.

According to General Zhao Guangyuan's report, now they have more than 38,000 people, and there are more than 6,000 elite soldiers who can fight on horseback - this number is still rising, and there are still many scattered troops in the Suiyuan generation, and by the beginning of spring next year, they may gather 50,000 or 60,000 people......"

"Hehe, what does this have to do with us?!" Lin Feng pursed his lips, "Could it be that they still dare to start a war with Ben Shuai?!" ……”

"The marshal is ......," Zhou Peigong said hurriedly, "Could it be that the marshal doesn't know the situation of our army?" - At present, we are surrounded by enemies on all sides and our army is not strong enough, if we can make friends with the Chahar department, it will naturally be of great advantage......"

"But at the moment, their demands are also excessive, I said Pei Gong, you said that if they ask me to return the cavalry under Zhao Guangyuan, then what should we do?!" Lin Feng thought for a while, and it was really a little painful, "According to what Lao Zhao Jun said, there are 2,000 Mongolian soldiers he recruited this time...... Tsk, how many of our Han cavalry are there?! ”

"It's not difficult to ......" Zhou Peigong smiled all over his face, and persuaded him diligently, "The marshal doesn't know anything, I have been in contact with the Chahar envoy just now, if the marriage can be done, the matter of this cavalry sergeant is not negotiable......

"Lao Tzu discussed a fart with him!" Lin Feng scolded, "You don't know, we paid a high price to recruit this group of cavalry, and each person's military salary is four taels or two dollars per month, not counting their wives and children to settle down in the pass, they snorted a few times and took it away-what is that Lao Tzu?!" ”

"But if this matter is not done, those sergeants are also uneasy...... Zhou Peigong smiled bitterly, in fact, these Mongolian soldiers have been hesitant under the call of their relatives, on the one hand, they are nostalgic for the preferential treatment given by the Han army, and they can not suffer from the wind and frost nomadism, but on the other hand, they have a disturbed conscience under the accusation of the same clan, so Zhao Guangyuan has been secretly monitoring them during this time, afraid that they will flee," ...... If the soldiers can't return to their hearts, then we don't dare to use them to keep them! ”

"What other conditions do they have?! ……”

"Handsome and wise!!" Zhou Peigong smiled and bowed to the ground, "Actually, their conditions are not difficult to handle - this time because they have been attacked by the Qing army, they have been busy with the war, so the livestock in the tribe have not been fat, and this winter is really difficult to support......"

"They want me to give them food and livestock?!" Lin Feng looked at Zhou Peigong in annoyance, and said angrily, "Fuck Lao Tzu's own people are still grazing over there!" ……”

"Oh...... Well, they only ask to be able to enter General Zhao Guangyuan's defense area and find some warm places south of the Great Wall to escape the winter......" Seeing that Lin Feng's face was a little better, he said tentatively, "Actually...... In fact, I think that this is a few tens of thousands of people, and it is not difficult to receive a little help......"

Lin Feng was noncommittal, "Is there anything else?!" ”

"They frankly confessed that if this marriage is successful, they are willing to surrender to our Han and garrison the frontier for us, but ......" Zhou Peigong hesitated for a moment, but continued, "But now the Mongolian Tushetu and Horqin tribes have the intention of annexing them, and they hope to be able to get the protection of our Han ......"

"Haha...... These turtle grandchildren, they can really fucking think of it! Lin Feng laughed loudly, but he repeatedly calculated in his heart, it seems that the contradictions between the Mongolian tribes are very big, and he can make good use of it, he pondered for a long time, he looked at the three important ministers in the hall, and asked tentatively, "Gentlemen, you said that according to your opinion...... This, is it possible for us to annex the Chahar Department this time?! ”

"Don't be handsome!!" Zhou Peigong was shocked, and hurriedly said, "If it can be annexed, Kangxi would have already annexed it, although this Chahar is weak, but it is a descendant of Kublai Khan, who has a high prestige in the Mongolian steppe, and the nobles under his jurisdiction are also auxiliary ministers who have been passed down for hundreds of years, and they are extremely loyal, this time they almost wiped out the whole army in Tuhai, but they rose again in a few months, which can be seen......"

"Oh, hehe, Pei Gong doesn't have to be nervous, I'll just talk about it, and then plot slowly in the future!" Lin Feng waved his hand, pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.

Seeing Lin Feng's hesitation, Zhou Peigong looked even more anxious, "Dashuai, this matter should not be delayed any longer...... I hope that the handsome will make a decision as soon as possible! ”

Li Guangdi and Chen Menglei, who had been silent next to them, glanced at each other, and at the same time stepped forward and echoed, "Please take the big thing first!" ”

Seeing that they were persecuted like this, Lin Feng was really a little angry. Originally, he almost made up his mind, didn't he just find a wife? What should I do if I pass through the door? Many people will not die when they eat, but this will have a new idea, he glanced at Zhou Peigong, who was full of eagerness, turned around a few times in his heart, made up his mind, and laughed at the moment, "Okay, okay, this matter is settled, Peigong...... Hehe, go and call the messenger! ”

Although Lin Feng's face was very strange, Zhou Peigong, who was overjoyed, didn't think much about it, and when he saw Lin Feng's order, he hurriedly greeted the guests in person.

The envoy's post house was not far from the marshal's mansion, and after a short time, the guards at the gate came in.

"See the Khan of the Han Chinese! - King Chahar Khan wishes you a long and healthy life!! The messenger was an old man, and as soon as he entered the door, he fell to his knees, and shouted half shouting, half singing, and the stiff Chinese fell on his ears with great amusement.

Lin Feng looked at him fixedly for a long time, this envoy still had an authentic Mongolian appearance, high cheekbones, sunken eyes, thick and short eyebrows, a thick beard on his face, almost covering most of his face, and a new robe looked like he hadn't worn for a few days, but his chest was already greasy.

"Oh, get up and speak, get up and speak!" Lin Feng smiled and said, "Come on, come on, please take a seat, this gentleman has a big name?" It should be the prince's important minister, right?! ”

Lin Feng's reaction looked a little strange in the eyes of the messenger, according to the general procedure, Lin Feng should first politely thank the prince for greetings, and then bless in turn, and finally let himself be even, the Han people attach the most importance to the so-called etiquette and rules, and they have never been negligent, but how did they change their temperament this time? The envoy was strange in his heart, the Mongolian had an upright personality, and when he saw Lin Feng's orders, he honestly complied, neither modest nor grateful, and sat down, "I am Handhar, the prince's butler!" ”

"Shhhhh......h ”

Handal tilted his head and thought for a moment, then nodded in acknowledgement, "Yes, that's right! ”

"But do you know that those Mongol warriors were recruited by me at my expense, and you didn't give them away for free! Wouldn't it be a great loss to do this handsome?! ”

"But the Great Khan, this has been the rule for thousands of years...... "Handal said in amazement, "we ask the Han people to help us make iron, and ask the Han people to help us make clothes, but we also have to pay for it!" - If the emperor of the Han people does not allow the Han people to help us, they will all have to return to the Central Plains......"

Lin Feng was dumbfounded, and suddenly felt that he didn't know where to start, it seems that the main contradiction between the two sides is in terms of ideology, which is really difficult to explain for a while. He laughed dryly, "Mr. Handhar is so clever - you've been a messenger a lot before, haven't you?!" ”

"Back to the Han Dynasty, I have never been a messenger before, I used to manage cattle and sheep grazing in the palace......" He showed a sad look on his face, "Last time the Jurchen barbarians killed our old king and ministers......"

Lin Feng really couldn't tell whether he was upright or pretending to be garlic for a while, and said helplessly when he heard this, "Okay, okay, what Ben Shuai means is that if we can talk about it today, these two thousand cavalry will be members of our Han army from now on, and they have nothing to do with your Chahar, what do you think?!" ”

"Of course!" Handal took it for granted that in fact, they also had plans to use these people as dowry.

"Then let's talk about marriage - I've never seen this princess of yours, you won't find an ugly girl to fool me, will you?!"

"Humph! ......" Handalten stood up and said angrily, "Princess Aduo is the sister of the prince, the nightingale of our Chahar steppe, she is as pure and immaculate as the snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountain, as brilliant as the pearl in the depths of the sea, and countless brave warriors admire her beauty and kindness, you ...... You're ......."

“OK、OK！！ It's a beauty, I admit it's a beauty?! Lin Feng said embarrassedly, "I didn't mean that, I meant that there may be some differences in the aesthetics of our two sides......"

"Dare to ask the Great Khan, what is 'aesthetics'?!"

"Ahem...... Cough...... This aesthetic ......" Lin Feng waved his hand and said with a straight face, "Actually, it's not that I don't admire Princess Aduo, it's just that it's a little inconvenient for me here?" I'm afraid I'm embarrassed ......."

"Inconvenient?" Handal was shocked, looked at Lin Feng suspiciously, and asked tentatively, "I see that the Great Khan is strong, you won't be ......?"

"Oh! Not that aspect of the problem! Lin Feng was horrified by him, and said extremely unnaturally, "This is this handsome...... My parents have already found me a wife, and I'm afraid that if Princess Aduo marries me......"

"Haha, Great Khan, what our Mongolian heroes admire most is warriors and heroes - heroes like you have many wives who deserve ......"

"Humph! …… It's just nonsense!! - Handhar, do you know what you're talking about?! Lin Feng suddenly slapped the table violently, and his expression was angry, "Prince Chahar is a descendant of the great Genghis Khan, and a son and daughter of the heroic Kublai Khan - how can he be someone else's concubine so hastily?!" ”

Handal was caught off guard, dumbfounded, his mouth wide open, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Lin Feng angrily threw his hand, pointed at Handar's nose and scolded, "What Ben Shuai admires most are heroes like Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan, but you actually let their children and grandchildren do such things?" - You, Handhar, are you still not a warrior in the world, or an eagle in the steppe?!! ”

"This ......" Handal couldn't help but laugh, and looked at Lin Feng blankly and lost his temper.

"If I marry Princess Aduo, how can I make her a little concubine?!" Lin Feng suppressed his anger a little, and said regretfully, "But if you let Princess Aduo be your wife, how can you be worthy of my parents?!" ”

"That'...... The Great Khan is not ready to marry us?! Handal was stunned for a long time, and finally came back to his senses.

"No, no, this Chahar prince I have been friends with for a long time, and this marriage is definitely going to be connected......" Lin Feng frowned, and walked back and forth in the lobby in distress, as if he was extremely troubled. After thinking for a long time, he looked aimlessly at the ministers left and right, and suddenly saw Zhou Peigong next to him with an anxious face, his eyes lit up, he grabbed his shoulder, and laughed, "I have a way!" ”

Zhou Peigong was stunned for a while, and suddenly came back to his senses, and his face was as pale as dirt.

"Brother Handar, I think so, this General Zhou is the first general under me, and he is also an invincible warrior, I think Princess Aduo will never be wronged if she marries him!!"

Handal looked at Zhou Peigong, who was thin and thin, with red lips and white teeth, and said in disbelief, "He...... This is also called the 'Invincible Warrior'?!! ……”

"Of course, can Ben Shuai still lie?!" Lin Feng smiled on his face, the heart is naturally better than the muscles, but if it is compared to the mind, you may not be able to find anyone stronger than him in the entire Chahar.

Handal was skeptical, frowned, and said, "Since it's inconvenient for the big handsome...... You value our Chahar prince so much...... And Princess Aduo, then this 'warrior' must be an extremely important person, right?! ”

"That's of course - if you don't believe it, just ask, this General Zhou Peigong is my right and left hand, and there are countless heroes and fierce generals under him, do you say it is important or not!" Lin Feng shouted.

As soon as he heard the words "Heroic General", Handal's eyes immediately lit up, and he carefully looked at Zhou Peigong, whose face was flushed, and suddenly bowed to Lin Feng and asked, "That General Zhou and General Zhao...... Which one is the official?! ”

"Well...... Cough...... Ahem, of course it's General Zhou! Lin Feng hesitated slightly, and immediately replied categorically. Although in the establishment of the Han army, Zhou Peigong and Zhao Guangyuan are generals of the same level, but he has been with Lin Feng since he has been around, and he is also resourceful on weekdays, faintly as a military advisor of the Han army, and the generals are also quite convinced of him, saying that in this regard, even if Zhao Guangyuan hears it with his own ears, it is estimated that he has no opinion.

"In that case...... It's okay......" Handal thought for a moment and nodded slightly. Since he sent the envoy, he has been paying close attention to the Han army's armament, and his assistant Zhao Guangyuan's well-trained and well-equipped cavalry unit on the front line of Xuanhua left a deep impression on him, and after entering Beijing, he has seen countless daunting huge artillery, and his heart is actually bright, at present, with the strength of the prince of Chahar, there is absolutely no way to compare with the Han army, seeing that Lin Feng does not know for what reason, he is really unwilling to marry in person, and it is also acceptable to win over the Han army, the second real power person, Immediately walked to the center of the hall and knelt down, and said respectfully, "Great Khan, if you arrange it like this, we should tell the prince before we can decide!" He raised his head and said with a smile, "But in my opinion, if the prince knows that he can marry a 'warrior' like General Zhou, he will definitely be very happy!" ”

Lin Feng laughed, but Zhou Peigong, who was beside him, turned his head in distress, "Handsome, handsome!" …… Lord! …… This matter, this matter is really difficult to follow......"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Feng's eyes widened, and he reprimanded in a low voice, "You don't look at how old you are, you are still a single person, I heard you say last time that your Zhou family is still the only one seedling - there are three unfilial pieties, and there are no queens, do you know it?!! It's a shame that you're still a disciple of a sage......"

"But ......"

"What else?! The reason why our Chinese men can stand up to the sky and the earth, what is it based on - it is this poetry, books, etiquette, music, etiquette, and morality, and it is because of this dignity and humility that is orderly, where do you say you have read the books you read? Where did you throw all the teachings of this saint?! ……”

Looking at the dumbfounded Zhou Peigong, Lin Feng solemnly picked up the handsome shelf, raised his fingers and said, "The sages have clouds, 'Heaven and Earth Jun Teacher' - this I am 'Jun', and I am still ranked in front of 'Pro', since your parents died early, so according to the ancestral teachings, I have the responsibility and obligation to arrange lifelong events for you, right?!" ”

“……”

"Alas...... To be honest, Ben Shuai can't help it - isn't this a saint's teaching? Although Ben Shuai is not afraid of heaven and earth, I still dare not listen to what the saint said! Lin Feng lined up Zhou Peigong's shoulders and said with a kind smile, "I said Peigong, this matter is decided!" Don't think about this so-called ...... 'lord'...... The fate and the words of the matchmaker are undoubtedly a matter of course, so you should pack up and prepare to be the groom's official! ”
