It is undeniable that these people who came to the East to preach in those days were all really learned. It was really because of this that as soon as they saw the books and articles that Emperor Chongzhen had revised, all of a sudden, all their ideas died down.

The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom knows more than them, and he is still very comprehensive in all aspects, so what else is there to do? Suddenly, they were confused about the future of their mission in Daming.

When Emperor Chongzhen was busy with this, the tribes on the grassland were also panicked.

The news of Huang Taiji's death cannot be hidden. With the news of the new emperor's accession to the throne, he was voluntarily notified to the grassland.

"What? The Qing Emperor died, and the new emperor was born to Concubine Zhuang, the one called Fulin? How old is that, can you be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty? ”

"The Qing Dynasty is now in charge of the six princes, and of course the child emperor can't handle political affairs!"

"However, these six princes are definitely not as powerful as the previous emperor? When the emperor was alive, he crushed them to death! ”

"Yes, even when the emperor was alive, he was at a disadvantage to the Ming Kingdom, and I have never heard of a victory against the Ming army, so what should I do next?"

“……”

And those Mongolian tribes who had a deep connection with Jianlu, because of the slow source of information in the previous time, deliberately inquired about the internal news of Jianlu afterwards, so they obtained a lot of news about the emperor's change.

"What, it turns out that the emperor was angry to death? Vomiting blood and dying? ”

"What, Prince Li was also arrested by the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and then put it back? Doesn't that mean that at least three of the six princes who are now in charge of the Qing Dynasty are defeated under the Ming Emperor, or are they the kind that were captured and released? ”

"Jinzhou also fell into the hands of the Ming army, wouldn't that echo Guanning's side, one east and one west, and caught the Qing Dynasty!"

"The Qing Dynasty has lost successive battles and has been eaten away by the Ming army one bite at a time, can this still be saved?"

“……”

So, in this way, the more these tribes on the grassland, the more they know more about the wars of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the more worried they are about the future of the Qing Dynasty. Correspondingly, he also had serious worries about his tribe standing on the side of the Qing Dynasty. What about the future of the tribe?

Similar worries actually exist within Liaodong Jianyu. Especially after the 3,000 Jianyu soldiers in Jinzhou were put back, they brought fear of the Ming army. There are even some people who secretly teach their good people in private: if you encounter an advantageous Ming army, don't resist, but survive!

These psychological changes were soon transmitted to the scout war with the Ming army. Especially when Guan Ningjun's side did not collect the night, it was obvious that the pressure they were under was significantly less when they encountered Jian's capture and exploration of horses. As a result, although Guan Ningjun's side did not win a battle, its confidence grew.

The changes in the situation on the battlefield of Hejian also stimulated Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao.

All along, he led his troops to fight, and he paid attention to stability. However, in the past few years, he has made no achievements, but Lu Xiangsheng's side has been very prosperous, and he can make a great contribution from time to time. Guan Ning's side, no matter what, there must be something to do, right?

Before, Hong Chengchou had a thought, picking up the persimmon and pinching it softly. He set his sights on the Mongolian tribe outside the Guanwai a few years ago, and in the past two years, he has received a lot of news, and he wondered if it was time for him to fight?

Compared with Lu Xiangsheng or Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou understands people's hearts better. is also because of this, in the original history, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng were all kinds of offended, but Hong Chengchou was able to meet the source left and right and be promoted all the way.

Now, this cunning fox has finally stretched out his claws to the grassland outside the gate.

……

Outside the pass from Jizhen to Jinzhou, is the Mongolian Karaqin Department. When this tribe was in the eighth year of Chongzhen, it was split by Huang Taiji, leaving only more than 5,000 strong men, and about 10,000 strong men were taken away by Huang Taiji and compiled as the troops of the Mongolian Eight Banners.

The current leader of the Karaqin tribe is the son of Subu, Guru Siqibu. Because there were many clansmen on the Liaodong side, Gulu Siqibu became one of the few Mongolian tribal leaders who knew about the situation in Liaodong.

Although it was already spring, everything was reviving, and green began to appear on the grassland again. The spring sun hangs high in the sky, shining its light on the earth. However, on horseback, on a small dirt slope, Guru Siqibu had a gloomy face, his brow still furrowed, and on his forehead was written "Do not enter the living".

Seeing him like this, the guards beside him knew what he was worried about, so they reminded him: "Lord Belle, why don't you ask for help from Daqing!" ”

In fact, at this time, Gulu Siqibu was only a Gushan Beizi, but he was called by the guard, so he was naturally called Gaoli.

Hearing this, Gulu Siqibu turned his head to look at him, sighed and said, "The Qing Dynasty can't take care of it itself, how can it be possible to send troops to help us encircle and suppress the Chahar horse thieves!" ”

That's right, the remnants of the Chahar tribe after the extermination of the tribe are active in the east, and there are almost more than a thousand cavalry troops. In this spring season, it began to haunt the vicinity of the Karaqin region, which made Gulu Siqibu very worried.

It's not that the Karaqin Department can't beat these Chahar horse thieves, but the Karaqin Department has a flock of sheep, old and young, unlike these Chahar horse thieves today, who have nothing and can't afford to fight!

"Why can't the Qing Dynasty take care of it, I haven't heard of a war in Liaodong recently!" The guards were a little unconvinced, and then said, "There are no other requirements, just send back our cavalry from the Karaqin Division." ”

Upon hearing this, Gulu Siqibu couldn't help but sigh again and said, "How can something that has been swallowed have to come back?" ”

said that the guards were a little unconvinced, Gulu Siqibu didn't wait for him to say more, and further said: "Although there is no war in Liaodong for the time being, who can guarantee when there will be war again?" Now the initiative of the war in Liaodong is on the side of the Ming Kingdom. As soon as the Qing Dynasty was replaced by a new young emperor, he was even more worried that the Ming army would attack. In any case, it is impossible to send troops out to help us! ”

"So what do we do?"

If Guruth Chib knew what to do, he wouldn't be worried here.

The guards may also see this, so they said a little angrily: "Those thieves in the Chahar Department are really bad seeds, it was the Ming Kingdom that exterminated them, and they didn't go to the Guannai to find the bad luck of the Ming Kingdom, but came to plunder the surroundings, what is this?" ”

"It's the Ming army that scared them!" When Gulu Siqibu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "In the first battle of Guihua City, more than 10,000 Qing troops were completely annihilated, this is on the grassland!" And unconsciously, the camps of the Chahar Department and the Urat Department were terminated, such unaware means, think about it, do you dare to provoke the Ming Kingdom? Anyway, I don't dare, or I don't know when the camp will be ended! ”

When the guards heard this, they were speechless, and after a while, they said in wonder: "In the past, our tribe also entered the customs with the Qing army, and I never felt how powerful the Ming Kingdom was!" Why is it that all of a sudden, the Ming army is so strong? Even the Qing Dynasty only has the power to parry and has no power to fight back! ”

Hearing this, Gulu Siqibu became more and more worried, turned his head to look south, and lamented in his heart, why his tribe was closest to the Ming Kingdom! If the Ming Kingdom breaks out, his own clan will bear the brunt!

Although I have released a lot of rangers on the border of the Ming Kingdom, this is not safe!

Guruth Chib had already heard more or less about the Battle of Naturalization. There are cavalry troops in the Ming Kingdom, and when they raided Guihua City, they didn't even have time to send news to the horses. If Ming Guo came up with the same means as dealing with Naturalization City, then what was the use of releasing the rangers?

Thinking like this, Gulu Siqibu couldn't help but secretly pray to Changshengtian: I hope that the Ming army will not pay attention to their own tribe, and if they want to find trouble, they will go to the Great Qing Dynasty in Liaodong!

As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and turned his head to look, but he was coming from the direction of the camp, and he was running in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry.

Seeing this, Gurusikib was a little worried, and hurriedly pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and greeted him.

"Lord Belle, the Ming Kingdom has sent an envoy."

This sentence made Gulu Siqibu's heart tense when he heard it, and he just thought, don't let Ming Guo pay attention to his own tribe, why didn't Changshengtian hear it!

Ming Guo came to the door, it was a disaster that could not be avoided, Gulu Siqibu hurriedly drove his horse back to the camp, and asked at the same time: "Is there a good life to entertain?" ”

"Yes, yes!"

When Guru Siqibu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately hurried back.

If this is changed from before, if it is not good, the envoy of the Ming Kingdom will be tied up directly and sent to Liaodong, then he will first ask if there is a good student to entertain!

When the horse returned to the camp, he didn't care about wiping his sweat, and at the signal of the clansmen, he strode to his yurt, and before he entered, he laughed and said: "The visit of the Ming envoy is really brilliant!" ”

After saying that, when I entered the yurt, I saw a thousand households and two entourages wearing Ming army uniforms eating and drinking. Gulu Siqibu was slightly stunned, not thinking that the envoy of the Ming Kingdom was not a civil official. But at this time, he couldn't be picky, and without waiting for this Qianhu to speak, he preemptively said: "I don't know what your envoy is doing here?" ”

People who don't know still think that the relationship between the two families is good!

When Qianhe, who was eating and drinking, heard this, he wiped his greasy mouth with the sleeve of his military uniform, stood up and took out a letter from his bosom and said, "On the orders of the Governor, I will send you a letter." In addition, the Governor said that the deadline is one month, and you will see that it is done! ”

Subconsciously, Guruth Qibu frowned, and his intuition told him that it was not a good thing. However, when he saw that the thousand households were staring at him, he immediately stretched his brows, squeezed out a smile and said, "The letter of the Governor, that is a must-read!" ”

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hands, took it respectfully, and then checked the seal before carefully pulling out the letter and reading it.

The Mongol aristocracy, like the leader of the Jianlu, mostly knew Chinese characters.

Hong Chengchou said in his letter: The Ming Emperor was wise and powerful, and he won successive battles, so that Jianyu had no power to fight back. The slave chieftain Zilharang was executed, and he was also released back to Dolgon, Azig and Daishan, which shows that the Ming Emperor has enough self-confidence, and these slave chieftains can be arrested and released if they want. By the way, he was also angry with Huang Taiji, and the recovery of Liaodong was just around the corner.

Later, Hong Chengchou pointed out in his letter that for the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, it was necessary to pay for the debts of blood, and the Tumut Ministry, the Chahar Ministry, and the Urad Ministries were examples. Your Karaqin Department is also an ally of Jianlu, and you have also entered the pass with Jianlu to plunder, and these accounts must be calculated. When he sent troops to the grassland in the Ming Dynasty, it was the day when you, the tribes who were enemies of the Ming Dynasty, were wiped out.

However, God has the virtue of a good life, and Hong Chengchou is willing to give the Karaqin Department a way to live. As long as the Karaqin tribe surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and sent troops to deal with Jianlu or Jianlu's allies, so that the Ming could see the sincerity, then he could ask the emperor to open up the Karaqin tribe.

At the end of the letter, Hong Chengchou said bluntly that other departments on the grassland also sent similar letters. If one of the hostile tribes surrenders to the Ming Dynasty first, then on the other side, the Ming Dynasty will no longer accept surrender and annexation. And the period of surrender and attachment is up to one month, so choose for yourself!

This is a blatant threat, so that when Gulu Siqibu saw it at the beginning, he crumpled the letter paper, and Ming Guo was too arrogant!

However, looking at it, he was very helpless, in this letter, it has been very clear how powerful the Ming is today! With the strength of the Karaqin Department after being castrated by the Manchus, it was simply powerless to fight against the Ming army. The most important thing is that the backstage of the past has now been beaten to the point that it is too late to defend Liaodong, so how can it be possible to send troops to the grassland to save them!

In the face of the threat in Hong Chengchou's letter, Gulu Siqibu was very unhappy. However, he also had to hold back this unhappiness. However, it is also impossible for him to say that he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty at once.

Therefore, after reading it, he pondered for a moment before he squeezed out a smile and said to the Ming army Qianhu: "If the general Lao brings a message to Governor Hong, I will definitely consider it carefully." But...... However, this letter does not say that my tribe is attached to the Ming Dynasty, so what good is it? ”

At this time, Qianhu, who sat down again to eat meat, had almost eaten, stood up and clapped his hands, raised his head and said: "It was the kindness of the Governor that gave you a way to live, and I want us to say that this is all military merit!" ”

"......" Gulu Siqibu was speechless when he heard this. These ** are really straightforward!

After the sound of the horse's hooves had faded away, Gulu Siqib came back to his senses. He ignored the guard's question, got out of the yurt, looked at the red dots that were about to disappear at the end of the grassland, and didn't know what to do for a while?

Forwarding this letter to the Qing Dynasty? Explain the situation? And then what?

If you hesitate and are preemptively annexed to the Ming Kingdom by other tribes, and then attack your own tribe, then your own tribe will have no possibility of annexing the Ming Kingdom!

The Ming army has already wiped out three major tribes, can his own tribe be the opponent of the Ming Kingdom? Or, can the tribes of the eastern steppes unite again to protect themselves?
