"General! What are you doing here? What the hell did I Batu Windusu do wrong! Batu Windusu, who had been pressed to the ground, had his eyes wide with rage.

After all, he is also a Mongolian man, and he has been "humiliated" by such an inexplicable "humiliation", and he can still ask questions even if he has a good temper.

Although Batu Windusu behaved quite restrained, Mengja was also annoyed by the "intimidation" of the "Hu people" these days, and he didn't intend to pay attention to this guy who joked about his name at all.

At this time, Lin Jiang, who was still next to him, retained a little reason, and hugged his fists: "The general is angry, maybe this Hu man doesn't want to insult you, after all, he doesn't need to come to death unarmed for this sentence!" ”

When Meng Jia heard this, he also felt that it made sense, he was indeed a little excessive, but as the main general, he couldn't pull his face for a while, so he sat down silently and didn't speak.

Lin Jiang was a person who was very good at grasping people's hearts, and he also roughly guessed what Mengja meant, so he came to Batu Wendusu in a few steps, first waved his hand to signal the soldiers to let go, and then asked:

"Messenger, what do you mean by Monja? What is the reason for this visit? ”

Although Batu Wendusu was grateful to Lin Jiang for defending himself, he was still very dissatisfied with their attitude of "pretending to be stupid", but he had to bow his head under the eaves, and then he explained with a little anger:

"What else could it mean? The people of the steppe bow are now nothing more than the Jurchen and my Mongolians, and the north and west sides outside the Han land are the descendants of Genghis Khan.

Altan Khan of our Tumut Khanate is the seventeenth grandson of Genghis Khan and the grandson of Dayan Khan, and only this year was named King of Shunyi by His Majesty the Great Emperor because of his loyalty.

As for this time, it is because our tribe has suffered a great white disaster that is rare in a century, and the wind and snow have caused many losses of people and animals. I really can't resist the winter, and I hope that His Majesty the Great Emperor can help. ”

Although Batu Wendusu's tone had softened a lot at the end, there was actually a lot of moisture in his words.

For one thing, the Tumuts were not serious Mongols except for a few high-class nobles, and originally belonged to the vanquished.

Speaking of which, their nation has a close relationship with the Lin Hu of the Qin and Han dynasties and the Xianbei of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but Batu Wen Dusu himself is afraid that he doesn't know this.

In addition, Altan Khan was not loyal at all, and he originally developed by relying on the large number of people in the territory outside the Guanwai that were lost by the Ming Dynasty after Tumubao.

Therefore, there were many Huhua Han people outside the Guanwai in his Tumut Khanate, and probably Batu Wendusu's mother was one of them.

As soon as Altan Khan developed, he forced the Ming Dynasty to let him pay tribute and exchange markets with him. For this reason, he did not hesitate to start a war, and he entered the army every year for more than 20 years. Finally, in 1571, he was canonized by Emperor Jiajing as the "King of Shunyi County".

At this time, the Tumut Khanate had just established a tributary relationship with the Ming Dynasty, and with the addition of a large number of Han Chinese, the Tumut Khanate was in a state of prosperity.

Therefore, if it weren't for the inexplicable gales and white plagues that made countless people disappear directly, and Warat took the opportunity to attack, Altan Khan would not have been able to ask for the head of the Ming Dynasty at all.

Of course, these Batu Wendusu will not tell Lin Jiang, in his opinion, this "Ming General" is his words, in case the Ming Court knows that the Tumut Khanate is so weak now, then I am afraid that what is waiting for is not aid but the army!

Lin Jiang was naturally confused after hearing this, but he knew that Batu Wendusu didn't really want to play with Mengjia, and their Mongol khanate now had a request from the imperial court.

Lin Jiang stretched out his hand to help Batu Wendusu dust off the soil, and said with a slight smile: "Messenger, rest for a while, let me go and explain to the general." ”

Looking at Lin Jiang's attitude, Batu was no longer easy to lose his temper, and he symbolically arched his hand.

At this time, Lin Jiang returned to Mengjia's side, leaned over and whispered: "General, I asked, this envoy really didn't mean to ask you to open the shabu, the name of their tribe is Mongolian ......."

Mengja frowned slightly when he heard this, and then glanced at Batu Wendusu again, and then asked in a low voice, "Then what are they here for?" ”

Lin Jiang responded: "I heard him say that their Khan King was made a king by the previous dynasty, and this time he was hit by a wind and snow, probably hoping to get some food and cloth." ”

When Meng Jia heard this, he sneered, and wanted to take away the grain and cloth from Daqin for nothing? There are no doors!

"Captain Lin, do you think this is possible? Although we are not short of food for the time being, we don't know what the situation is in Guanzhong, how can food cloth be given to potential enemies casually?

Besides, their Khan King was sealed by the previous dynasty, and it was not sealed by us, so he asked for food to let him go to the previous dynasty? What does it have to do with my Great Qin? Is it really a Hu man who dares to be the king? Bite off more than one can chew! Monja was blunt.

Lin Jiang hurriedly made a look, signaled Meng Jia not to be too loud, and then continued to whisper: "General, we naturally won't give things, even if we give them, they must be approved by the imperial court."

But since they have sent it to the door, we can't push it out, we have to use a delaying strategy to wait for General Wang Li's reinforcements, but we can't let them jump over the wall in a hurry! ”

After listening to it, Meng Jia pondered for a while, and he also felt that it was very reasonable, and he even diverged his thinking, if he could directly arrest the leader of the Hu people with a strategy, wouldn't it be done once and for all?

So Meng Jia also whispered: "It's still Lin Duwei who is thoughtful, and I am reckless and almost missed a big thing, so I'll give you compensation first."

But you have to think about this strategy, I don't think it's a way to just delay, it's better to wipe out all the enemies! ”

Lin Jiang didn't expect Mengjia to have such a big appetite, and he agreed with Mengjia's intention in principle if he didn't kneel, after all, the Qin army had too few reinforcements, and if he really had to be tough with the Mongols, it would not be good if the losses were too great.

"Then general, do you want to agree to one or two irrelevant things for the time being, and then ask them to come over to negotiate, and then we will wait for the opportunity to do it?

But in this case, we have to pretend to be a member of the previous dynasty first, why don't the generals talk less for a while, and let's act with a look in our eyes? ”

Meng Jia is not a wise general, of course he is willing to Lin Jiang to be in charge of this "fraud" activity, and then nodded in agreement.

Lin Jiang also returned the salute, turned around and returned to Batu Wendusu, and said with a gentle expression:

"The general has already figured out that he misunderstood, but as the main general, it is not easy to apologize to you, for fear that it will hurt his majesty, so please ask me to apologize to the envoy in private on his behalf."

Saying that, Lin Jiang pretended to salute but his movements were very slow, Batu Wendusu was begging after all, so he naturally quickly reached out to help him, and said:

"The general doesn't have to be like this, it's good that the misunderstanding is solved, it's good that it's solved. However, regarding the matter of asking His Majesty the Emperor for mercy and reward... What does it mean to be a general? ”

Lin Jiang saw his anxious attitude, and guessed in his heart that the disaster of the Tumut Department must be very serious, so his plan would be better implemented, so he continued to perform:

"The envoy can rest assured, since the emperor... His Majesty the Emperor has made your ministry king in recognition of your loyalty, and in the event of such a natural disaster, His Majesty will definitely reward you with money, food, and cloth.

But you see, we are so far from the capital that we will not be able to hear from us for a while, and the format and content of this letter have not been properly examined, and I am afraid that it may affect your Majesty's decision.

Therefore, it is better to invite the king of Shunyi to the vicinity of the Great Wall, and we will choose a place to talk openly and honestly, so that we can have a good idea when we write to Your Majesty.

In addition, there is also some food and cloth in the city, after talking about His Excellency the King of Shunyi, you can take it back a little by the way, and respond to the emergency first, what do you think, messenger? ”

Batu Wendusu was very happy when he heard this, knowing that when he came, Ming and Tumut had just been at peace for a long time, but Altan Khan decided that nothing good would come of it this time.

So he had already prepared with both hands, brought the men and horses, and only waited for him to fail this time to lead the people to the Great Wall. After all, they haven't grabbed Tumut dishes for a year or two, and their craftsmanship is not unfamiliar.

"The idea of the two generals is very suitable, I think that the king of Shunyi of our ministry will also agree, then ask the general to repair a book, and I will bring it back and submit it to the king for a decision?"
