The representatives of the Jin State were happy, this was the ghost idea of Dolgon Beyler, although Li Yu called Tiancong Khan "Father Belle" implied that he did not recognize the Dajin Kingdom, but he was willing to bow his head and be his son, and the Jin State still took a big advantage. The representatives of Fengzhou seemed unconvinced, but since Liu Xingzuo slapped the board, he had to admit it after shouting for a while - in fact, they didn't care, it was true to take the opportunity to blackmail, and there were many cases of people on the grassland forming fathers, sons, and brothers in order to survive, and it was no big deal.

Since then, Li Yu has gained the notoriety of "recognizing a thief as his father", but it doesn't matter if he is thick-skinned, it is the Jin Kingdom that tastes all the bitterness - the people of Fengzhou have an excuse to dig the wall of the Great Jin Country, and finally lead to the complete reversal of the strength and weakness of the two sides, and Dolgon regrets that he should not have made this bad idea until he died.

"Now that we are a family, then the common enemy is the Ming Kingdom, they are treacherous and carry out sneak attacks, Dajin can send troops to help you get justice." Sakhalian said.

"Ming Guo is your enemy, but not necessarily our enemy, we will find them to seek justice, we don't need your help," Liu Xingzuo smiled and waved his hand, and then said seriously, "But we are a family, then if any party is attacked by a third party, the other party should provide assistance within its ability, and in the same way, any party sending troops to a third party should also get the consent of the other party first, otherwise it will be regarded as a unilateral action, and the other party can also take unilateral action, which is very fair!" ”

This is another copy of the peace talks with Chahar, Fengzhou just wants to protect himself, and everything else is the same, Sakhalian held back his anger and said: "Nonsense, we are here for an alliance, but you only plan for yourself, is this still a father and son?" ”

"You just promised that the father and son are only private titles, and it will not affect the relationship between the two sides, and it is okay to form an alliance with us, but outside the border of Xuanfu, Karaqin, and Xilamulun River, we must be returned." Liu Xingzuo replied with a straight face.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, you still want to fight." Saharan angrily got up and left.

"Sakhalian Belle, Fengzhou supports your peace with the Ming Kingdom, we can acquiesce in your actions in Gyeonggi, as long as we don't cross the Taihang Mountains to the east and don't enter the SD to the south, we won't interfere, and we can also sell you food and weapons, you still have to think about it." Liu Xingzuo's words came from behind him, Sakhalian's footsteps couldn't help but stop, Liu Xingzuo stepped forward and grabbed him: "Some things can be put aside, isn't it good to solve the things in front of you first?" ”

"That's it, it's better to do business than to fight, we can promise to expand trade, even if you make peace with the Ming Kingdom, it may not be better than now." March also came over to persuade him.

"Third child, don't be dead-eyed, peace talks are like doing business, you have to bargain, let's go back and continue to talk, we can't be cheap." Shuoto hurriedly hugged Sakhalian - the peace conference didn't have anything like Shuoto's rough goods, and he usually bragged that only he could control Erlu and Aita in the Dajin Kingdom, and he had to give three points of face when they met, and the Great Khan sent him away, so Shuoto had to try not to make trouble, but now it doesn't work, the peace talks have smashed the pot, and his face will be lost.

Sakhalian sat back in his place and continued to argue, both sides had a plot against the Monan grassland, Fengzhou demanded the return of the land, and the representative of the Jin State proposed to demarcate the border according to the current line of actual control between the two sides, the differences are so great that it would be good not to fight, there is no hope of forming an alliance, and the only thing that has reached consensus is the armistice, trade, joint mutual protection, and the right of the Jin army to take armed action against Liaoxi and Gyeonggi to force the Ming court to make peace.

"The situation is always changing, what is not easy to solve today may be solved tomorrow, we might as well face the reality and put aside the dispute for the time being, and it is okay to fight in the future, first put the dispute on the table to solve, and it is not too late to talk about it." Liu Xingzuo scratched his head and said.

Sakhalian patted his head and thought about it, then nodded in agreement: "I have a hunch that we will still be a family sooner or later, so it's okay to talk first and then write it into the peace agreement." ”

The important event was settled, and the details that followed were all easy to discuss, and the two sides returned to a group of amiable faces, and arranged for the scribe to go down to draw up the peace treaty, and report it to the higher authorities as soon as possible. Ma Qi took the opportunity to suggest that before the Jin army withdrew, he would have another mutual trade with Fengzhou, and during this time, the representatives of the Jin State could also go to the surrounding iron factories and workshops to have a look and order some urgently needed goods, Liu Xingzuo immediately recommended the local enterprise Xinghe Iron Factory - Wang Zheng's leather cannon has been approved as an export product by the Titang Division, and this guy asked people everywhere to introduce business. Shuoto and Yingordai waited for this day, immediately applauded, pushed the rest of the things to Sakhalian and Bao Chengxian, twisted March, laughed and left.

Sakhalian stayed in Weining Haizi for another four or five days, Liu Xingzuo and Namur have been with him, the three of them have similar interests, read poetry and books together, talk about ancient and modern times, and also have arguments about the difference between China and the West for governing the country, often talking with candles late at night, Sakhalian feels that when he meets a confidant, he even lingers a little. Shuotuo and Ying Erdai finally came back, and dragged two leather cannons and a lot of messy weapons and farm tools, and the two of them complained that Dajin Guobai raised a lot of officials and craftsmen, except for a dozen or so Hongyi cannons with long faces, the others are simply a mess, expensive but shoddy, it is better to buy it yourself, and the things built by people in Fengzhou are good. Li Yu and Tiancong Khan's replies also followed, both agreed to the draft peace treaty, and issued authorizations in their personal names, and the representatives of both sides then signed and pledged, and the peace treaty signed in the names of Tiancong Khan and Li Yuye was considered effective.

Sakhalian was going back, and when he left, he whispered to Liu Xingzuo: "Let Erlu build the country, you have this strength, I will persuade the Great Khan to support you, in the long run, Fengzhou and Jin will come together sooner or later, the stronger you are, the safer the Zhushen and Liao people will be." ”

"It's not time yet, we are walking a road that has never been seen before, we don't know where this road leads, let's take one step at a time," Liu Xingzuo shook his head, and said to Sakhalian with a concerned face, "I'm most worried about you, Sibeile's nature is not bad, but this kind of thing will change people, you go back and tell Da Beile and Yue Tobeile, if things are not right, immediately take the whole family to hide with us." ”

"No, others can do this, but my family can't do it, and I can only die in Dajin Kingdom." Sakhalian replied with a wry smile.

Tiancong Khan is still satisfied with the peace treaty, the current situation is very unfavorable to him, Yanghe killed 5,000 people in the first battle, of which Lao Zhushen died more than 2,000 people, and if he fights to the death, he probably won't even want to go back, although this peace treaty did not achieve the purpose of forming an alliance, but at least it can allow him to withdraw safely, and Elu is also willing to bow his head and recognize him as Lao Tzu, giving him enough face, and the future will be talked about in the future. Tiancong Khan praised Sakhalian greatly, and casually gave Shuotuo and Yingordai a big sweetness, you can buy what you think is suitable, and change some silver money, anyway, this trip to the customs to rob a lot of silver, property, on the road is also a burden, and then announced to the whole army that the western expedition was a great success, the Ming army was defeated at the touch of a touch, Erlu bowed his head and called his father, in order to celebrate the victory, five days later, all the soldiers in Weining Haizi City, all soldiers can participate, and the order was thunderous with joy in the camp of the Jin army.

There is no need to wait for five days, on the third day, there are Fengzhou traders coming to the door, they have already touched the Jin Army, these guys in order to supplement military supplies, everywhere they go with ginseng, skins, Dongzhu and other local products, now ready to get out, the rest of the goods are not easy to bring back, it is a good opportunity to buy at a low price, and the property robbed by the Jin soldiers is also eager to sell the stolen goods for cash, and the extra money also wants to bring something to the family, the two sides hit it off, the sale was opened in advance, and the outside of the Jin Army camp suddenly became lively.

Fengzhou goods are good, the price is not expensive, farm tools, iron pots, knives and scissors, iron nails, iron needles can be used at home, that must be bought, tobacco, cloth should also bring some, the extra money is best exchanged for Fengzhou silver banknotes, this thing is better than silver, you can also buy cheap goods in Shengjing and Liaoyang, and you have to talk about the benefits of living as a soldier. On the day of the opening of the big market, the Ministry of War re-signed a contract with Wang, the owner of the Fengzhou Xinghe Iron Works, and the Jin Kingdom purchased 50 leather cannons, 500 rifles, and a batch of thunderbolts, knives, spears, and arrows, and even bought 20 of the array walls, with a total amount of up to 50,000 taels of silver, and the goods will be delivered in the spring of next year. Tiancong Khan then summoned Ma Qi and Wang Chong, and each of them gave them the title of En Cavalry Lieutenant in recognition of their contribution to the development of commerce and trade between Dajin and Fengzhou.

There have been major incidents in the big city in the past few days, and the Jin army has run more than 300 more, and the hard-hit areas are still blue and blue, these guys can't stand the temptation of Fengzhou, and they went to freedom, and they are justified in leaving words, since Jinguo and Fengzhou are father and son, it is the same as doing it with his son and with Lao Tzu, it can't be regarded as rebellion. The Jin State sent people to negotiate with Xinghewei to return the people, and the Xinghewei officials solemnly declared that Fengzhou believed in "freedom, equality, and benevolence", and gave shelter to those who had fled due to enslavement, persecution, and starvation, and categorically rejected the request of the Jin State. Dolgon and Azig asked for revenge against Toyoju, but Tiancong Khan was strangely noncommittal and only ordered the banners to take good care of their own people.

From the old capital to the Lightning River, there are yurts everywhere, with the abundant Jinlianchuan grassland and the food aided by Fengzhou, and the people can finally take a breath. After the Jin army left the customs, the Chahar people were nervous for a while, and the Great Commander's Office promptly transferred the rear cavalry battalion of Kubai, the rear battalion of Chaolu and the deputy army of Chaolu, as well as the elite cavalry of the left and right battalions of the Chahar cavalry of Darhan and the martyrdom, and gave them a batch of food and weapons, and the people's hearts gradually settled down. However, under the calm is the undercurrent surging, the return of Chahar Khan's wives has completely changed the balance of power in Chahar, Zhu Riga and his gang can't provoke the power of the nobles, and hid in the military camp of Darhan and Martyrdom, but secretly they are fighting with the people and the nobles, and Chahar Khan's wives are not idle, on the one hand, they are doing everything possible to suppress the power of the civilians, and on the other hand, they are also fighting openly and secretly with each other. It was at this time that Garma Jinong came to him.

"Galma, I'm looking for you everywhere, as the deputy commander of Chahar appointed by the Great Commander's Office, when the strong enemy pressed the border, you ignored government affairs, but chattered with several queen mothers all day long, you still think Chahar is not chaotic enough, do you want me to kill people with the Fengzhou army?" Tuba pointed at Karma and said angrily.

Ji Tu also sneered and said: "Don't think that no one knows what you did, there are people who want to take refuge in the Jin Kingdom, let me remind you, although the Grand Commander is tolerant, he will kill people without blinking an eye if he provokes too much anger." ”

"Do you think I'm not in a hurry? The Great Khan threw away a mess and left, what will happen to the future of Chahar? Will they survive? I'm so worried that I can't even sleep, those queen mothers are all masters, and they all have a population in their hands, and if they don't serve them well, the situation will only be more chaotic. Garma argued with his feet on his feet.

Tuba waved his hand impatiently and said: "No need to explain, we all know that you are loyal to Chahar, otherwise you would have been slaughtered a long time ago, you came from several queen mothers, you tell the truth, what are their ideas?" ”

Karma sat down slowly, his face was blue and white, and after a long while, he whispered: "Today's chaos stems from Dayan Khan's division of the princes, Dayan Khan is wise and powerful, no matter what kind of governance strategy is adopted, the Mongolian tribes are also a whole, but there is no British lord after him, a hundred years have passed, today's Mongolia has been divided, you all know this." Since the Great Khan succeeded to the throne, he tried his best to try to reunite the Mongolian tribes, although he was not heroic enough, but it was by no means mediocre, and it may not be impossible to realize his long-cherished wish in time, but it was not the right time, the Jin State suddenly rose, and the Mongolian tribes could no longer survive, such as the destruction of the withered and decayed by it or destroyed or surrendered, and now there is a Fengzhou rising, what should Mongolia do between the two powers? What should Chahar do? Have you all thought about it? I can't think of a way, but I'm a descendant of the cowardly Iron Rider, I can't let the tribe passed down from my ancestors perish, Chahar must survive. ”

Tuba and Bangtu are silent, Fengzhou is taking a different path from the past, and it is still getting stronger day by day, the Chahar tribes attached to Fengzhou will be incorporated into the guard sooner or later, and the nobles with the blood of the golden family will also be reduced to civilians who eat by their ability, and then Chahar will cease to exist, and everyone knows this, but this trend is not something that the Chahar people can resist, all they can do is to delay the arrival of this day as much as possible.

"You must have come to us for some purpose, let's be honest, what are you going to do?" Tuba asked, frowning.

"Take a gamble, bet on both sides of Jin and Fengzhou, the four masters of Nangbao, Dou Tumen, and Orzhetu Tessina plan to defect to Jin Country with the population, I agree, you also think about it. If you want to go, go together, and if you want to stay, please take care of the little master Ezhe, and the three masters of Sutai, Gaoertumen, and Subahai are also entrusted. Garma said with his head bowed.

"Those women are confused, are you confused too? The people of the Jin country are hungry wolves, send Chahar to their mouths, and there will be no belt bones left, I will slaughter you first. Angrily, he reached out and drew his knife, but was held down by Tuba.

"Jin Guo and Fengzhou are like tigers and wolves, and it is inevitable that they will be defeated if they are attached to either party, so it is better to divide Chahar into two, so that Jin Guo and Fengzhou are jealous and dare not act rashly against us, this may be the only way for Chahar to survive, let's gamble!" Karma wiped a handful of tears and said in a low voice, "The Empress Dowager is pregnant, and the lamas said that it is likely to be a boy after reading it, this is good news, Ezhe stayed in Fengzhou, and the widow of the Great Khan went to Jinguo, no matter which side had an accident, Chahar still had hope." ”

Jitu trembled with anger, and kicked Garma to the ground: "Karma, tell me, whose wild seed is it pregnant?" When the Great Khan was alive, she didn't lay eggs, and when the Great Khan died, she wanted to give birth to a child, and you even believed this kind of ugly thing? ”

"Of course I don't believe it, but I want to protect Ezhe Kongol, Dajinong has never said anything about supporting Konggol until now, what is his idea? Kongol must have a brother, and he must make the people of the Kingdom of Jin believe that it is true, you believe me, I hate the people of the Kingdom of Jin as much as you do. Karma replied with a howl.

"Dajinong is not a person who is greedy for power, and he has a reason to do so, and now in this chaotic situation, supporting Kongol as Khan is tantamount to harming him, he is still just a child! You go, I've already descended once, and I can't be ashamed anymore. Tuba walked over slowly, pulled up Karma and said, "You have to think about it, Jin Guohan is ruthless, and if you deal with him, you may be crushed if you are not careful." ”

"My Garma is not easy to provoke, when I arrived in the Jin country, I contacted all the Mongolian forces, and when the time was ripe, we should join forces with the outside to destroy the Jin country, at that time we were strong, and the great Jinong also had to support Kongol." Karma said through gritted teeth.

Jintu snorted and said: "Whatever you want, I am the descendant of Dayan Khan, the younger brother of Lin Dan Khan, whether I die or flee, anyway, I will not go to be a slave to the people of the Jin Kingdom." ”

After the three of them conspired, the fate of the Chahar people was decided, and Karma rushed back to the camp of the old capital overnight, and accompanied the four empress dowagers, Nangbao, Dou Tumen, Orzhetu, and Tessna, to lead 35,000 Chahars to the south. The scouts of the Fengzhou army found that something was wrong and immediately reported it, Zhao Ji and Terrig led four thousand cavalry to intercept it, but they suddenly met with the five thousand cavalry of the Jin army, the two armies were tense, and the war was about to break out.
