The envoy of the leader of Duoyan was very respectful when he saw the apocalypse, and this respect was naturally not a little contrived in it. Think about it, too, if someone starts from your ancestors and gives your family a lot of things every year, without asking for more in return and has been giving for two hundred years, as long as it is a normal person, they will maintain due respect and respect for this person.

The people of the Duoyan Department are normal people, at least they think so.

But Apocalypse doesn't think so, he thinks that the killing of 3,000 Ming troops by Duoyan is revenge, and now it is time to put an end to this kind of unjust behavior that only pays and does not ask for anything in return.

When Duoyan's messenger said again that it was the Karaqin people who killed the people and had nothing to do with them, Apocalypse couldn't hold back any longer. Tianqi said: "I am far away in Beijing, I don't know and don't want to know how many departments you Mongolia has, I only know that the three thousand soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were killed by you Mongols ♀, and it is impossible to just forget it, no matter what, I want to take revenge, I just want to know what you are going to do when I take revenge?" ”

Duoyan's messenger said, "I don't know what if the noble emperor wants me Duoyan?" Way? Lead the way? Or help the Ming to attack Karaqin? ”

Apocalypse shook his head and said, "No, I want to solve the problem once and for all, I just need you to make a wise choice within the specified time." ”

Seeing that Duoyan's envoy was at a loss, Tianqi said: "Today is the third day of May, within three months, my Ming will have 50,000 to 100,000 soldiers stationed at the mouth of the two rivers until the city of Lianghekou is repaired, if necessary, the number of soldiers will increase by another 200,000 to 300,000, whether it is the Jurchens from the east or the Karaqin people from the west, you can't ♀ please in that valley and river, what you should do in three months is to unify your thinking, whether you want to be an enemy or a friend of my Ming Dynasty, you must think clearly within these three months." ”

Duoyan's envoy hurriedly said: "There is no need to consider this issue, our Duoyan Department has always been a friend of the Ming Dynasty, and it was in the past and is and will be in the future. ”

Apocalypse nodded and said, "It's good that your envoy can look at it this way, but what I want to say is that from August, my Ming will start to repair the side wall, from the mouth of the two rivers to the east until the Gubei mouth, and the Ming will follow this route to repair the side wall, and it is only the first side wall." ”

Duoyan's envoy was shocked: "Is Daming going to drive my Duoyan out of the side wall?" ”

Apocalypse shook his head and said, "I don't have the intention of driving the Duoyan tribe out of the side wall, I just want to make sure that there are no more civilians with knives and guns in the side wall, and there can be no troops with knives and guns. By the way, Lin Dan Khan has already said that he will clean up the portal, and I have said that he will be allowed to do what he wants north of the side wall, so that repairing the border wall is actually protecting you. ”

Seeing the suspicious look of Duoyan's envoy, Tianqi said again: "While repairing the first side wall from Lianghekou to Gubeikou, I also want to build the second side wall, the specific route is from Lianghekou to the west to Xifengkou, these two side walls will be divided into three parts as soon as they are repaired. ”

Duoyan's envoy smiled bitterly: "The Karaqin people are on guard, but my Duoyan Department can't enter and exit freely, what if we can't enter and exit our livelihood freely?" ”

Apocalypse said, "So you have to make a wise choice, either graze or farm in situ within the border wall, or go out of the border wall and go to the prairie to be free." As for your livelihood, you don't have to worry about it, as long as all the civilians within the border wall lay down their arms, their livelihood is in charge ♀ of my Ming court, there is no need to negotiate, and you can't call the shots, you go back and convey it to the speedy one. ”

Although in essence the Duoyan tribe had used their wealth to attract and control most of the Karaqins, in name they were still Karaqin's subordinates. When the Duoyan envoy returned to the Duoyan Department from Beijing to convey the will of the Great Ming Qi Emperor to the leader Su Bu, Su Bu convened all the small leaders to discuss countermeasures√ and the final result was to wait and see what happened, neither supporting the only remaining arrogant real Karaqin people, nor directly confronting the Ming army that came in anger. Anyway, there are still three months before the Ming army repairs the Lianghekou City, and when the Ming army repairs the border wall, they decide to lay down their arms and go to the grassland when the people are obedient.

As for the idea of fighting up and fighting with the Ming army to the end, only a flash of thought flashed in the heads of Su Bu and a few small leaders, but he didn't say it, because Duoyan had been on the Great Wall for a long time, knowing how large the territory of the Ming Dynasty was, and how many people were there, thinking about the scene of millions of Ming troops slaughtering him, everyone was very frightened‖ Lin Dan Khan, who was holding a male soldier, had no intention of turning his face with the Ming Dynasty and standing up for the Mongols, and under the slogan of cleaning up the portal, he was eyeing the Karaqin people in the north. said that it is necessary to clean up these black sheep that destroy the relationship between Ming and Mongolia, and the Duoyan people, who have always liked to seek good fortune and avoid evil, will not be unable to recognize the form.

Of course, there is also Leng Touqing, a small leader with a little bit of people in his hands and asked quickly: "This is where we have lived in Duoyan for several generations, why did he say that the border wall should be repaired in the Ming Dynasty?" Their purpose is to lock up my Mongolian boy as a sheep, do they think that the knife in our hands is vegetarian? We are not grass-eating sheep, we are meat-eating wolves on the steppe! There is a sense of wanting to protect oneself by force.

He glanced at the little leader and said, "How many men and horses do you have in your hands?" Three thousand or thirty thousand? In this place where there are mountains everywhere, the role of horses is not big at all, it is impossible to defeat hundreds of thousands of Ming troops with tens of thousands of ♀ people, although I said that I didn't pay attention to the Ming army, but it's not that I don't know anything, 15,000 people killed 3,000 Ming troops, and more than 1,000 people died, and there are tens of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, and the army has millions, how many people can I fight with them? ”

Seeing that the little leader who spoke lowered his head and did not speak, but still looked a little unconvinced, he quickly sighed and said: "I remember that my grandfather called me and my father to the hospital bed before he died, and asked me which one of my teeth or tongue was hard, and I was very strange at the time and said that it was hard teeth. Grandpa nodded and opened his mouth to let me see if the teeth and tongue in his mouth were still there, I looked and said that the tongue was fine but the teeth were about to fall out, and Grandpa asked me and my father what did they understand? Now I ask you, what do you understand? ”

Everyone seemed to realize that they didn't speak, but just thought silently. "It seems that you all understand that hard things often break first, and soft things often get on the verge. Why was my Duoyan Department able to get rid of the bad luck of being annexed like the Fuyu Department and the Taining Department? It is because we are able to strike a balance between the two great forces of the Karaqin Department and the Ming Dynasty, if we all draw their swords against each other in everything as he said at the beginning, without looking at whether they have the strength to draw the sword, my Duoyan Department would have perished a long time ago. ”

After hearing the quick words, the little leader said ashamedly: "I lost my words, and I didn't understand the hard work of my ancestors." ”

Su Bu said: "We don't necessarily have to rely on the tree of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen Emperor Taiji and Lin Dan Khan of the Han Headquarters are all people with eloquence and absolute strength, don't fight with them unless you have to, and try to maintain a good relationship with them." However, in any case, do not easily take one side against the other, that will not do any good. As long as I maintain a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen and the Han Division, my Duoyan Department can survive forever. ”

Another small leader listened to Su Bu's words and asked: "Listening to the meaning of the envoy's words, Da Ming is still angry with me now, and he may still suspect something, at least he is angry with us for not reporting the movements of the Karaqin people in time." In order to obtain the understanding of the Ming Dynasty, can you ask someone to help them build the Lianghekou City? First, you can get understanding, and second, you can exchange some money and grain back. ”

Su Bu sighed and said: "The Ming court has returned the paperwork, saying that no one trusts it now, and they want to repair the Lianghekou City by themselves." When they repaired the city, they also sent tens of thousands of troops to protect them, and by the way, they were familiar with the terrain, and no one with weapons was allowed to appear within ten miles of the surrounding area, otherwise they would be considered enemies and be ruthlessly attacked by the Ming army. ”
