The strength of 1,500 people, this number is just within the range that all the forces in Guihua City can bear, and it can be seen from the strength of Chongzhen that it is not an empty word that Emperor Ming claimed to come to mediate for Chahar. Because although this amount of troops can protect the safety of the emperor's travel, it cannot suppress the Chahar force in the Naturalization City.

It was because of the Tu Taiji that he would take his supporters out of the city to meet the emperor at the first time, on the one hand, trying to get Chongzhen's support, and on the other hand, showing off his strength to Chongzhen.

However, at the dinner, Chongzhen did not talk about the succession of the Khan with Gantu Taiji, Gunchuk Taiji and others, but recalled the life of Lin Dan Khan with everyone and talked about the ambitions that Lin Dan Khan had always had.

Although Lin Dan Khan had all kinds of inconsistencies when he existed, he still maintained the status of the suzerain of the Chahar Department over the Monan and Northern Mongol tribes, and when Lin Dan Khan was young, the Chahar Department was still in the grassland for a while. Compared with today's dangerous moments when there is a strong enemy attacking outside the Chahar Ministry and a power struggle inside, many Mongolian Nayan people with lower status obviously prefer to remember the strong moment of the Chahar Department in the past.

Under the guidance of Chongzhen's words, the Mongolian Nayans who came with Gutu Taiji and Gunchuk Taiji were soon triggered to reminisce about the past empathy, and Lin Dan Khan, who was originally cruel and changeable in their minds, suddenly became a tragic hero with great ambition and bad luck.

So a dinner party in which Mongol Zhunayan asked Chongzhen to express his attitude eventually turned into a bonfire symposium to commemorate Lin Dan Khan. Even the originally enthusiastic Gengtu Taiji left the Ming army camp with a sad face, a small part of these sorrows are about the nostalgia of Lin Dan Khan, but the larger part is the nostalgia for the Chahar tribe that is now torn apart.

In the next three days, Chongzhen did not accept the invitation of Tu Taiji and entered the Naturalization City. He still stayed in the camp outside the south gate, but the Mongolian leaders of the tribes inside and outside the naturalization city began to go to the camp at the south gate to ask for the emperor's reception, and for a while, Chongzhen naturally became the last hope of the leaders of the tribes inside and outside the naturalization city.

Some of the Mongol leaders who came to visit Chongzhen had heard the emperor's remarks at the dinner the day before, believing that only the emperor could prevent the Chahar tribe from fighting at this moment, so they came to see the emperor; Part of it was influenced by the Living Buddha Zhangjia, who believed that only the emperor could change the current situation of the Chahar Ministry; Others, under the influence of their trading partners Shanxi merchants, planned to take refuge in their tribes under the wing of the Ming Dynasty.

The leaders inside and outside the city of Naturalization kept visiting Chongzhen, seeing that the emperor's influence on the Chahar tribe was getting bigger and bigger, but he was reluctant to enter the city, which made Su Tai and Jintu Taiji extremely uneasy.

So early on the morning of the fourth day, Su Tai took his son Ezhe, together with Doro Dafujin, Bade Onyx Birch Fujin, and Wuyunna Fujin, to the camp outside the South Gate, asking Chongzhen to mediate the internal disputes of the Chahar Department and protect Ezhe's rights.

Although Su Tai is Ezhe's mother, the one who really has some insight and can call the shots among these Fujin is Lin Dan Khan's main room Doluo Dafu Jin. After confirming this, Zhu Youzhen made a suggestion to several Fujin: "With the current chaotic situation within the Chahar Department, even if Ezhe ascends to the throne, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince people.

The habits of the Mongols are different from those of the Han Chinese, and if they want to ascend to the throne of the Great Khan, in addition to the name of orthodoxy, they must also have the power to protect the tribe. Ezhe is only ten years old now, and he can't even protect himself now, so what can he talk about protecting the people of the Chahar Ministry?

What's more, now that Lin Dan Khan is alive and dead under the sneak attack of the Houjin army, Ezhe and Gutu Taiji don't think about how to resist the attack of the Houjin army and avenge Lin Dan Khan, but instead fight endlessly for the position of the Great Khan, how do the people of the Chahar Department view Ezhe and Tantu Taiji? If the support of the people is lost, whoever sits in the position of Great Khan will not last long.

Therefore, I suggest that you may as well take a step back first, and let Ezhe become an adult before coming to fight for the position of the Great Khan of Mongolia is the best choice. ”

Doro Dafu Jin was thoughtful, Bade Onyx Birch Fujin and Wuyunna Fujin were ignorant, just looking at the statement of the bag. Only Su Tai still interjected a little unwillingly: "Tu Taiji is rude, once he is allowed to ascend to the Khan position, even if Ezhe is an adult, he may not be able to get back the Khan position." And I don't want to marry my husband's younger brother, so that Ezhe can't hold his head up in front of everyone..."

Su Tai's words resonated with Bade Onyx Birch Fujin and Uyunna Fujin, although the Mongolian people have become accustomed to the remarriage of women because of the harsh natural conditions in the area where they live. However, the families of the upper aristocracy with a deep degree of sinicization have also begun to pay attention to whether the object of remarriage will cause ethical problems.

For example, the marriage system in which the son inherits the father's wife and concubine, and the younger brother inherits the brother's wife and concubine, has been abandoned in some tribes with deep sinicization. But for the tribal chiefs, these marriages were not just marriages, but also related to the continuation of political relations between the tribes, so this tradition was maintained to a certain extent.

The Dora Daifujin, who was in his early thirties, was clearly willing to respect such a tradition, but the other younger Fujin were clearly not willing to succumb to it. Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the impression of Tu Taiji in the eyes of several Fujin is really not very good.

Zhu Youzhen blinked his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "No, no, Su Tai Fujin misunderstood what I meant, I mean that Ezhe is not suitable to take over the position of the Great Khan at this time, and he did not say that he wants to let Tu Taiji or anyone else sit on the throne of the Great Khan. ”

While the other Fujin were still stunned, Nang Bao had already looked at Chongzhen and asked, "Your Majesty means that you are going to let the Great Khan's seat be empty first?" How can Your Majesty do so that the rest of the city agrees with Your Majesty's opinion? ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at the bag and said, "This requires the help of a few Fujin." ”

Nang said with some surprise: "We now have neither soldiers nor horses nor food and grass in our hands except for the reputation of some Weibo, and even a minister like Hulu Kezhai Sang, who is valued by Lin Dan Khan, is also vacillating between us and Jintu Taiji for his own interests, what can we do for Your Majesty?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said confidently: "Strength does not only come from the army, compared with the 120,000 troops in the Naturalization City, the more than 100,000 people on the entire Tumut River are the biggest source of strength for the Chahar Department.

Whoever controls the hearts and minds of these more than 100,000 people will be able to influence the decisions of the leaders of the various departments in the naturalized city. From my point of view, the minds of the more than 100,000 Chahar tribesmen today are not on who will succeed the Great Khan, but on who can tell them where the new Great Khan is going to take the Chahar tribe, and whether the new Great Khan can save the lives and property of the Chahar people from the iron hooves of Houjin.

Therefore, I hope that all of you, Fujin and Gutu Taiji, will issue a statement together that until the most sinister enemy of Chahar is repelled and the Houjin army is coming, all internal disputes will be put aside, and everyone should unite to fight against the Houjin invading army. During this period, if anyone dares to instigate separatism, they are the common enemies of the Chahar tribe.

After repelling the Later Jin army, you will convene a Kuritai Assembly to discuss and decide on a series of issues concerning the heir to the throne, the religious beliefs of the people, and the distribution of pastures among the various tribes, following the old system of Genghis Khan's time. ”

She lowered her head and thought about it several times, but she didn't see any harm to the Chahar Ministry of Chongzhen's proposal, but she still asked Chongzhen with some vigilance: "Your Majesty's opinion is naturally the best choice for the Chahar Ministry, but what kind of benefits do you want to get from it, Your Majesty?" In other words, what can we offer to the Ming Dynasty? ”

"The tranquility of the Mongolian people is the best reward for the Ming Dynasty..."Looking at the disdainful eyes in the corners of his eyes, Zhu Youzhen finally put away his official tone and said: "Okay, I ask that the Mongolian tribes be officially confirmed at this Kuritai conference that the Mongolian tribes are an inseparable part of China, the Mongols and the Han people are all Chinese people, and anyone who tries to divide and split the Mongolian-Han relations and land will be the common enemy of Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty..."

Only then did he restrain the mocking expression on his face, and said seriously and seriously: "I swear to Your Majesty in the honor of the Borzigit clan, and your request is our oath, as long as the Kuritai Conference can really be reconvened, then Your Majesty will be able to fulfill his wish." ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled and corrected: "No, it's our wishes that will come true..."

After hearing the news of the sisters-in-law after leaving the city in the morning, he came to the camp at the south gate again, wanting to ask Chongzhen to come into the city to speak for himself.

Zhu Youzhen said to him the same thing as in the morning, hoping that he and Ezhe would temporarily stop fighting for the position of the Great Khan and focus on dealing with the upcoming Houjin army. Only if he has made an undoubted contribution in this battle, then no one else can question his ascension to the throne of Khan.

The already wavering heart of the Tu Tai Ji was finally persuaded by Chongzhen, so on the morning of the fifth day, the representatives of Nang Nang and Su Tai Zhe and Ji Tu Tai Ji issued a joint statement in front of the heads of the Chahar tribes, saying that until the Later Jin army was repulsed, the two sides would no longer be entangled in the issue of succession to the Khan.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, Ezhe and Jintu Taiji went out of the city together to welcome Chongzhen into the city, and asked the emperor to take the place of Lin Dan Khan to preside over the affairs of the resistance against the Later Jin army.

After a day and a half of discussion between Chongzhen and the leaders of the Chahar tribe, it was decided to order Huluke Zhaisang and several small leaders to guard the Naturalization City, and the affairs of the city would be temporarily taken care of by Nangbao.

The three of them, Gantu Taiji, Gonchuk Taiji, and Guiyingcha, led 5,000 Great Khan's personal guards and 15,000 tribal troops to Ulanqab in the northeast to join the Ming army and resist the Later Jin together.

When this decision was made, the leaders of the Chahar tribe breathed a sigh of relief, and a civil war was finally asided.
