The meeting lasted from morning to late at night, and you Taiji never came to a conclusion. In the end, everyone handed over the problem to Zaisangbuhe, and even Oba's sons and brothers were reluctant to make a decision about Hai Lanzhu's whereabouts.

After all, they all knew that if Huang Taiji knew that it was under their proposition that Hai Lanzhu was sent to the Ming Kingdom, then they would inevitably be retaliated against by Houjin. And it is unknown whether the leader of Oba, who is now under house arrest in Shenyang, can return.

But as Huang Taiji's brother-in-law and father-in-law, even if Zai Sangbu and made any decisions, Huang Taiji couldn't attack him. After all, in the Horqin Ministry, Zaisangbu and his family are already representatives of the pro-Houjin forces.

After the Taiji expressed their intentions to Zaisangbuhe, the last Budaqi, who got up and left, said meaningfully to Zaisangbuhe: "I talked to my brother before I returned, and my brother asked me to convey a word to you, the future of the Korqin tribe will depend on your choice. ”

Zai Sambu hesitated for a moment before replying, "What does Oba Khan plan to let me do?" Does he want me to send Hai Lanzhu to Mingguo? ”

Budaqi shook his head and said, "Brother didn't say that, but I went out with my brother and them to fight the Ming Kingdom this time, and I have seen the actual situation of the Ming Kingdom with my own eyes.

In my opinion, the war between the Later Jin and the Ming Kingdom is far from the extent of deciding the winner. If we let the Horqin Department fully devote ourselves to the side of Houjin at this time, I am afraid it is not a wise move.

In addition, the Ming people still have thousands of prisoners of the Horqin tribe, if we refuse the request of the Ming emperor, I am afraid that the Horqin tribe will suffer a great loss. It will also erect an invincible enemy for our Korqin Department as a result. ”

After everyone left, Bu He sat back in front of the fire pit, he took a few firewood and put it on the fire pit, watched the bright orange flames below climb up, and thought about Hai Lanzhu's whereabouts again.

Although he cherished this eldest daughter very much, but in the current situation, he regretted it a little. If he had known that Huang Taiji also had thoughts about his eldest daughter, then he might as well agree to the request of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom and let Hai Lanzhu go to the Ming Kingdom.

As the Zaisang of the Horqin Tribe, Buhe is still in the prime of life in his 40s, but his prestige in the Horqin tribe is still not as good as his father's, so he cannot reconcile the increasingly fierce contradictions within the tribe.

At present, the most fierce contradiction within the Horqin Department is nothing more than the struggle between the pro-Houjin faction and the faction that wants to maintain the independent status of the Horqin Ministry.

Most of the nobles of the Horqin tribe who were pro-Houjin were young people who did not hold much power. Most of these people had lived in Shenyang when they were young, and they grew up with Jurchen relatives, so they still tended to be emotionally close to Houjin, believing that there was no harm in merging the two countries.

Those who want to maintain the independent status of the Horqin Ministry are the older generation of nobles who now hold the power of the Horqin Ministry. These people grew up in the Wengguodai period, when the Horqin tribe was not yet in decline, and had seen the Horqin tribe unify the Nenjiang valley and the submission of several Jurchen tribes.

Because of the oppression of Lin Dan Khan, the Horqin tribe had to ask the original vassal Jurchen tribe to form an alliance, but it did not mean that these Horqin Taiji were willing to lower their status and become vassals of the Houjin State.

As far as Bu and himself were concerned, he was not as arrogant as those old men, thinking that the Korqin tribe could not submit to Houjin. But he also did not support the idea of the young nobles to make the Korqin tribe part of the Later Jin Kingdom.

Buhe hoped that the alliance between the Horqin tribe and the Houjin could be maintained externally, so as to resist the encroachment of the Chahar tribe on the Horqin tribe, and if the Houjin could really unify the entire Mongolian tribe, then the Horqin tribe would not be unyielding to the Houjin.

As for Horqin, he hopes to maintain and unite all Taiji. As long as there are no rifts within the Horqin Ministry, no matter how strong the national strength of the Houjin is, the Horqin Ministry will always be able to maintain a semi-independent status.

However, after Huang Taiji seized the leader Oba and sent people to ask him for his eldest daughter Hai Lanzhu, the rift within the Horqin tribe was finally revealed.

The reason why today's meeting has not come to a conclusion for a long time is because most of Taiji, who is opposed to getting close to Houjin, cannot believe that he will be happy to send his eldest daughter to Mingguo, and is worried that after he expresses his position at the meeting, he will leak it to Huang Taiji and be liquidated at that time.

Although these Taiji gave him the choice, Bu He knew very well that now everyone was watching his decision.

If he sends Hai Lanzhu to Shenyang and handed it over to Huang Taiji, then the split of the Horqin Department will be inevitable. And if he wanted to send Hai Lanzhu to Mingguo, he had to worry that someone would spread the news to Shenyang, and Huang Taiji would send someone to intercept Hai Lanzhu's team halfway.

And if Huang Taiji knows that he wants to send Hai Lanzhu to the Ming Kingdom, I am afraid that he will drag down Zhezhe and Bulbutai in Shenyang.

While Buhe was trying to figure out a thing, the woolen tapestry blocking the door was suddenly lifted. A tall, fair-skinned Mongolian woman, with a pair of willow eyebrows, walked into the yurt angrily.

This fit, young woman in her early twenties is Buhe's eldest daughter, Hai Lanzhu. Although she was already a woman who had been married once, she was no different from an ordinary girl from the outside.

The fire pit in front of Bu He, because of the cold wind brought by Hai Lanzhu entering the room, suddenly began to brighten and extinguish.

Buhe just sighed, and before he could speak, Hai Lanzhu couldn't wait to say to him: "Abba, I will never go to Shenyang, nor will I go to Mingguo." I'm going to stay here, guarding Abba and Eji, and I'm not going anywhere. ”

Buhe glanced up at his daughter, looking at her cheeks flushed, in addition to being full of anger, there was also something shiny in her eyes.

His heart couldn't help but soften, and he beckoned to Hai Lanzhu and said, "Ohi well, come here and sit down and have a good chat with Abba, Abba hasn't talked to you for a long time..."

Looking at the increasingly obvious wrinkles on her father's forehead, Hai Lanzhu finally suppressed her anger and sat silently beside her father.

Bu He looked at the flames in the fire pond and said a little powerlessly: "My Ao Hei, the most important thing now is not what we choose, but how the Korqin Department will survive."

In front of the Horqin Ministry, the Chahar Ministry is a wolf, Houjin is a tiger, and Daming is a giant elephant.

In order to defend against the wolf of the Chahar tribe, your Ovo and Oba Khan bowed their heads to Nurhachi and formed an alliance with the Jurchen tiger cub.

Today, the Chahar tribe, which once eyed our Horqin tribe, has become an old and sick wolf who has lost its claws, but the Houjin country, which was once the strong backing of my Horqin tribe, has become an adult tiger with sharp claws.

This tiger is even more powerful and terrifying than the original Chahar Division, and if I, the Horqin Division, are not careful, I will be swallowed by this tiger in one bite.

When Huang Taiji detained Oba Khan and sent someone to claim you, we had actually lost our choice. Because, your Abba is simply unable and unable to refuse the request made by the Later Jin Great Khan.

My Ohei, do you know what's scarier than facing a tiger? In addition to the tiger in front of you, there is a giant elephant staring at you behind you.

The current Da Ming is eyeing the giant elephant of the Horqin Department, he can help us pull the tiger's tail, and he can also trample on the Horqin Department by the way after defeating Houjin.

Between the tiger and the elephant, we in Korqin are nothing more than a weak sheep. Hai Lanzhu, do you think your choice or my choice makes sense for tigers and elephants? ”

After listening to her father's story, Hai Lanzhu's anger since entering the door finally gradually dissipated, and after she was silent for a long time, she finally opened her mouth to reveal her white teeth and bit her red lips, before she made up her mind to say to Buhe.

"Even if we really don't have any other choice, I'd rather go to Mingguo than Shenyang.

Although we Mongolians don't have as many rules as the Han Chinese, I can't bear to share a husband with my aunt and sister.

This is going to get out, what is Abba's face? What will they think of Abba in the future? Let me go to Mingguo, Abba. ”

Bu He turned his head to look at Hai Lanzhu who was grabbing his sleeve, and said with some emotion but still with some hesitation: "Let my Ao Hei go to Mingguo, it may be a good thing for the future of the Horqin Tribe."

But Abba is still very worried, whether you can adapt to the life of the Ming Kingdom, although those Ming merchants who came to the grassland said that the capital of the Ming Kingdom is like a city in the sky, whether it is food, use, or play, it is a beautiful thing that no one has ever seen on the grassland.

However, except for the first two emperors, the Ming Emperor never let a noble daughter of a Mongolian tribe enter his harem.

Although this Ming emperor, who had just ascended the throne, looked a little different from the previous Ming emperors. But we don't know if his purpose in asking for you from the Korqin Department is to let you enter the harem, or just to humiliate the Great Khan of Houjin? After all, your aunt and sister are now Huang Taiji's Fujin.

If it is the former, it finally leaves a way back for the Horqin Department. If it is the latter, Abba will not only lose a daughter, but also provoke Huang Taiji to have a grudge against the Horqin tribe. ”

Hai Lanzhu closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths before she opened her eyes that were as shining as starry eyes, and said firmly: "Abba let me go, I will enter the harem of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and I will not let that emperor have the opportunity to humiliate my Zaisang family in the Horqin Department." ”
