Batur is not a simple person, squeezing out the Turks to go to the west, and fooling the Heshute people to go south to the West Sea, turning the north of the Tianshan Mountains into his pasture, and now putting aside Tulubaihu's formulation of the law, he obviously wants to dominate the Western Regions, but he is right, the nobles of the Golden Family are not fuel-efficient lamps, once Fengzhou is weak, they will definitely pounce like wolves - Li Yu was silent, his eyes staring at Batur.

"I have a daughter who is smart and beautiful, and she is thirteen years old this year, which is the age to be married, I answer, let her be your hatun, you will definitely like her. Our Luros family and the Li family will join forces in the east and west, and we will definitely be able to revive the majesty of Mongolia. Batur gushed endlessly, he had been thinking for a long time - Li Yu is a Mongol, even if he is from the Ula Mountains, it is the same, the four tribes of Haixi are originally Mongolian, but he is definitely not a Son Jin, the Li family and the Zhuros clan belong to the Mongolian sideline, so neither of them dare to call Khan, but if they join forces, they will definitely be able to trample the Erjin clan under their feet.

Li Yu hurriedly excused himself, and Na Mu'er hurriedly explained: "Batur Hongtaiji, Fengzhou has long had more men than women, and has always advocated the monogamy system of Western religion, and it is already a crime for the general to marry two Hatun, if you marry your daughter again, the officials and people of Fengzhou will definitely oppose it if they are worried that God will condemn it, so it is better to forget about this matter." ”

Batur glared at Namur, who was talking nonsense, thought for a while, patted his leg and said: "It's better to be monogamous, I answer, I heard that the people of Fengzhou recommended your son Zhuo Li Ketu to inherit the family business in the future, and my daughter will marry Zhuo Li Ketu." ”

It's too much, you can't tease our father and son like this when you marry your daughter, Li Yu disagreed with a straight face, Batur was a little angry, dropped a sentence "You think about it again", turned his head and walked out of the big tent.

Na Mu'er couldn't help laughing, Batu and Yun Rong came when they heard the sound, and they also laughed when they heard the reason - Li Yu's family affairs are a mess, Ulan is shrewd, Wu Langha is bold, Su Tailai does not leave, outsiders always add chaos, Li Huai looks at his brother's daughter-in-law is not pleasing to the eye, and has always wanted Li Yu to marry the daughter of a gentry family, Liu Zhilun plans for the future, suggesting that the court will choose a clan girl to marry Li Yu, and now Batur also comes to join in the fun, in fact, when it comes to Li Yu's status, family affairs are state affairs, and there is no lust and courage.

"Don't laugh, marriage is not a trivial matter, Batur is the best candidate to stabilize the Western Regions, this person still needs to be used, but Li Jin is only ten years old, how can I promise him! You come up with the best of both worlds right now. Li Yu shook his head and said.

"Fengzhou must not marry Oirat, Altan Khan has great martial arts in his life, but in his later years, marrying Mrs. Zhongjin brought disaster to Tumut, that Oirat woman was greedy and ignorant, colluded with the Ming State to control power, and even did not hesitate to start a civil strife, I Tumut fell apart in a few decades, and there was no power to fight, the Tumert people still remember this, and they will never tolerate the appearance of another Oirat Hatun." Batu put away his smile and said solemnly.

"Marriage is the custom of all the tribes of the grassland, and it is not only Batur who fights this idea, and refusing to marry all of them is to offend people," Na Mu'er shook his head slightly, and then turned his face to Li Yu and smiled, "These days, there are always a group of children from noble families running into the camp, and we are not good at driving people away, the lark and Li Qin of the great commander's family are the smartest, and the children of the nobles are attentive, but they are stopped by the puppets, glass, and clairvoyance of the lark, and they listen to her tell new things very honestly every day, Li Qinshu reads well, so he calls the girls together to play the piano and sing and learn etiquette, I heard that those children are very fascinated, and they are asking their parents to go to naturalization and study, and this may be a solution. ”

I said why the clairvoyance is gone, it turns out that the lark girl took it to play, Li Yu couldn't help laughing, thought about it and said: "That's it, let's let the wind go, Fengzhou's own customs are inconvenient for marriage, but no matter the size of the tribe, the leader can send his children to naturalize and study with the children of the Li family, I must regard them as my own children and nephews, if the children have fate, they will be matched by God." ”

"Batur is too thoughtful, there are some things that must be said clearly, I will talk to Ah Shu immediately." Yun Rong added.

After Yun Rong left, Batu picked up the "Oirat Code" and looked at it a few times and threw it aside, this code is richer than the code formulated by his ancestor Altan Khan, and the provisions are more detailed, but the difference between sixty or seventy years is still not a change of soup, still strictly protect the absolute possession of land and pasture by the noyan (lord), prohibit the free movement of herdsmen, impose heavy punishment on those who flee and steal, and restrict and punish shamanic activities with the exclusive respect of Lamaism, especially stipulating that "one out of ten people must dedicate himself to the Buddha", I don't want to let my relatives ransack my animal for lamas, and I want to regulate the customs of the steppe.

"Batur is also painstaking, but time has passed, this thing is useless, how to develop after the death of such a person." Batu said disapprovingly.

"Batur spent a lot of effort to fight for the position of minister of Weilat, and he didn't care about it in the future, in fact, the nobles made the same laws, and the Khalkha people also learned from us to make a "Private Property Protection Order", but it changed beyond recognition, and it almost became a local rule to protect their family business, and the common people did not benefit at all, I said to the businessman, if there is a dispute in the future, go directly to the Fengzhou Chamber of Commerce for adjudication, and I can't deal with these old men." Namur said.

The situation of Khalkha is very special, the three Great Khans are from the same lineage as the youngest son of Dayan Khan, their identities are quite similar and their strength is similar, and they can still maintain basic consistency with the outside world, but no one is convinced by anyone behind closed doors, one person makes an idea, and the other two must be one against, and the other is muddy. The three bosses couldn't stop the field, and a group of little Nuoyan at the bottom formed a gang, beware of thieves more than outsiders, because they were worried that someone would eat more and take advantage of the benefits given by Fengzhou, and forced the three bosses to ask Fengzhou to send officials to set up a platform in Khalkha, Namur was therefore in charge of the Khalkha business market and tax distribution power, and was deeply trusted by the Khalkhas, a large group of young nobles and businessmen also formed a pro-Fengzhou force around him, however, Fengzhou was really not interested in Khalkha, but was more worried about Khalkha on his own.

"Give the code to Li Jianji and Bao Zhen for discussion, it doesn't matter who is the minister of Oirat, as long as the Western Regions are stable, I will mess up this matter if I can't do it," the Khalkha tripartite is easy to do, but the friction between the two giants of Oirat, they can immediately turn their faces, this situation is absolutely unacceptable, it seems that it is time to establish rules for the Mongolian ministries, Li Yu asked Namur thoughtfully, "Xinsheng, how is the trade ambassador Itak's doing in Khalkha?" ”

"Yes, he is a practical person, Khalkha lacks talents, and the big city of Salenor Lake is basically in charge of him." Na Mu'er glanced at Li Yu and replied.

"Let Itaker take over as prime minister, you go back to the Commander's Palace, there is too little people around me." Li Yu waved his hand and said.

The three of them talked about dusk, Yun Rong accompanied Ah Shu in a hurry, followed by a middle-aged man with a stout figure and a full beard.

"Grand Commander, this is the Grand Leader of Turghut and Orlek Hongtaiji, he wants to meet you." Yun Rong pointed to the middle-aged man and said.

Ah Shu also said: "It's really not easy to be with the Orlek brothers, I set off last summer and walked tens of thousands of miles to get here, Hutuketu Batulu, the Rakshasa ghost is too bullying, you must help him." ”

Li Yu's eyes lit up, and he strode forward to stop Orlek, who was about to kneel, and hugged and greeted him according to the etiquette of treating his brothers - Li Yu's "Hutuketu" honorific title is equivalent to the Mongolian Great Khan and the Living Buddha.

More than ten years ago, the Dzungar Department went south, Batur set his sights on this land, on the one hand, he tried his best to exclude the Turks, on the other hand, he married his daughter to Orlek, promised to help him rebuild his homeland in the west, and Orlek was forced to give up his homeland, leading the nomadic Turks here and some of the Dulbert and Heshute people to the west to find a livelihood. These westward Mongols endured many hardships and dangers, and finally settled in the sparsely populated lower reaches of the Volga River, and within a few years of stable life, the forces of the Rakshasa Kingdom oppressed them, forcing them to pay taxes and convert their faith. These villains deceive people too much, and Orlek returned to his homeland this time to make Batur fulfill his promise and support the Turks against the Rakshasa country, but Batur is more content with the status quo and has no intention of clashing with the Rakshasa country, but instead asks Orlek to support him in the struggle for the minister of Oirat. And Orlek was disappointed, and found some old friends of the Dzungar Ashu to complain, Ashu was furious, and suggested that he take refuge in Hutuketu Batulu, at present, only this person has the ability to unite the Mongolian tribes to revive the former glory, it happened that Yunrong arrived at Ashu's big tent, and the more the three of them talked, the more speculative they became, so they simply came to find Li Yu together.

"Hutuketu Baturu, the Rakshasa country is barbaric and brutal, insatiable for the land, instructing the dog-legged Cossacks to continue to move eastward, Turghut and several Mongolian tribes have suffered a lot, you lead the army to the west, we are willing to obey the dispatch and destroy this hungry wolf together." And Orlek said eagerly.

Li Yao entered the tent and lit the pine fire, and carefully spread out a map, and Orlek became excited when he saw it, it turned out that Hutuke Tubatulu had already planned to go west, and the rivers, mountains, and roads marked on the map were generally the same as the reality. Li Yu explained that this map was provided by the missionaries of Taixi, and there were many errors in it, so please help with Orlek to correct it, and the guards brought food at this time, and everyone talked around the map while eating, and Li Yao made notes at any time, and it took a long time to finish.

"The missionaries of Tessie said that the Rakshasa country was originally a barbarian, thinking that they inherited the Eastern Roman State, and did not accept the Holy See to establish themselves as a Western religion, and called their chieftains Tsars, and also vainly said that they would be the 'Messiah (Messiah) to save the world, and their ambitions were high, bloody and cruel, and it was appropriate for us to include the Rakshasa Kingdom as an 'evil country', and this kind of villain would become a big trouble sooner or later if it was not removed, but this can only be after the eastern problem is solved." Batu patted the map and said.

Ah Shu gritted his teeth and said: "Four hundred years ago, my Mongolian 'eldest son went west' to penetrate the communication between the east and the west in one fell swoop, and since then the wealth of the world is the only one I have, and all the countries in the world are prostrate under my feet, Hutu Ketu Batulu, you take us to fight, the big war together is better to solve the internal problems, the enemy of Mongolia is only himself, and the integration of forces has been realized, and the Rakshasa country, the Ming country, and the Qing country are not to worry. ”

"I'm afraid it's not so easy, the eastern issue is a matter of survival, first the east and then the west is my established strategy in Fengzhou, and it must not be changed." Na Mu'er waved his hand disapprenosingly and said.

"Then we don't care about the Turghut brothers who are heading west?" Ah Shu shouted excitedly.

"The Western Expedition is unrealistic for at least ten years," Li Yu waved his hand to stop the quarrel, and continued in contemplation, "It is not terrible for the people of the Ming Kingdom to have no ambition and like infighting, but I am most afraid that they will lose the country if they do not fight, and the Manchurian people are hard-working and persevering, if they get the manpower and financial resources of the Ming Kingdom, they will dare to fight a war for a hundred years, this is too dangerous, I must contain the Qing Kingdom to have a chance to develop westward, but it will take time." ”

Li Yu walked up to Erlek, held his hand and said: "Brother, give me some time, I know that it is painful to accept the enslavement of barbarians, but you must be patient, as long as you can save the population, it is a great feat, believe me, even if it is another twenty or thirty years, I will fight it." ”

"Maybe I won't see that day anymore, but the Turks will remember your words." And Orlek's eyes are red, the reality is cruel, and he can only accept it.

"I will help you to persevere, and look, the barbaric Rakshasa ghost will be severely punished," Li Yu patted Orlek's arm, waved his fist and said firmly, "The Tacheng Conference is the beginning of our integration of forces, and Mongolia will never abandon any of its brothers in the future." ”

Late that night, Meng Ke and Hadari led five hundred elite horsemen, carrying two mortars, led by the Turks, and quietly galloped towards the Kazakh territory to the west.

Three days later, the meeting of Tarbahatai City was solemnly opened, more than 200 tribal leaders came to attend the meeting, and the Kurustai steppe suddenly sounded the horn and the people were boiling - it is the custom of the steppe people to decide on public matters, and Li Yu of Hutuketu Baturu personally attended the meeting, and the leaders of all the tribes felt that something big might happen, except for the tribes of the Qing vassal state, almost all of them who could come.

The Dongke Living Buddha from the West Sea also came, and also brought the fifth ...... and fourth Tibetan ...... The message of the two living Buddhas urged Li Yu to drive Tulu Baihu into Tibet as soon as possible to quell the rebellion of the Red Sect, but this guy only cared about bargaining, and simply did not care about the safety of the Yellow Sect. Li Yu and Angdun Lama comforted the Dongke Living Buddha together, and at the same time had to coax the little Living Buddha Zhana Bazar, this little guy is also qualified to sit in the right position, but he is very dishonest, and always wants to play with his little friend Liu Chengzu behind him, and Gunbu, who is sitting in the middle of the leaders on both sides, looks at his son, and his heart is indescribable.

With so many people coming to the scene, it is really face--the host of the meeting, Batur, was very proud, announced the start of the meeting with a smile, and then boasted about the glorious achievements of the Dzungar Ministry over the years - to attack the Rakshasa State, protect the safety of the Oirats, defeat the Yarkand Khanate, and expand the grassland ...... of the Oirats, but not long after bragging, someone jumped out to make trouble, and it was Tulubaihu who he didn't want to see the most, when did this guy arrive, how do I not know, Batur couldn't help but glance at Li Yu.

"Batur, you are so shameless, you said that you would fight the Rakshasa Kingdom, but how did I hear that you sent someone to talk to the Rakshasa ghost to make peace, it didn't mean that you wanted to be a rebel, right? You go to fight the Yarkands, and other tribes also help, how can all the benefits fall into your hands? I warn you, I am the minister of Oirat, and I will not allow you to do anything wrong with me for a day. Tulubaihu pointed at Batur and shouted, these two people used to be able to sit together, now that life is better, no one looks at anyone is pleasing to the eye, Batur initiated this conference with obvious intention to seize power, Tulubaihu heard the wind and left, and arrived late last night.

The Dzungar Ministry did find the Rakshasa country, hoping that the other party would recognize that the Western Regions was the sphere of influence of the Dzungaria, and there was absolutely no intention of surrendering, Tulu Baihu was simply nonsense, Batur immediately ridiculed him: "Tulu Baihu, I dare to swear to Tengger that I will never betray Mongolia, but what about you, I personally promised to enter Tibet to protect my religion, why are you still lying in the West Sea, you won't say that Bai Li Tusi has come back to life, right?" People like you don't deserve to be ministers. ”

"Shameless, you first drove the Turks and Durbots out of their homeland, and then coaxed me into the West Sea, where are the cattle, sheep, horses, and money you promised? Give it all to me! Tulubaihu was furious.

"You also have a share of what I do, entering the West Sea is an opportunity to expand your prestige, and you are embarrassed to blame others for not having the ability." Batur decided not to mess with this guy and turned back to his place and sat down.

Tulu Baihu refused to give up, and when he saw Batur sitting down, he shouted: "Batur, what are you, is there a place for you next to Hutuktu Baturu and the Living Buddha?" Don't roll down yet......"

"The two of you are answering, the leaders of all the departments are watching, if you have something to talk about, don't be angry!" Subadi of Khalkha had a good relationship with Batur and hurriedly came over to persuade him to fight.

Tulubaihu became even more angry, pointed at Subadi and scolded angrily: "You are not a good thing, don't think that I don't know what Batur did with you, it is my business for Oirat to make the code, why should you be an outsider involved?" ”

Subadi's face was red and he didn't dare to say anything more, and Khalkha's Shuo Lei and Gunbu immediately understood, and jumped up together to reprimand Subadi-I haven't seen you enthusiastic about Khalkha's affairs, it turned out that you secretly hooked up with the Dzungars, do you want to eat inside and out? Be honest with your problems, or get out of Khalkha.

The bosses quarreled, and the other tribal leaders also coaxed, and Orlek took the opportunity to expose how Batur lied to him in the first place, and how Tulu Baihu played for the tiger, and when it came to the excitement, he couldn't help crying, and the tribal leaders gritted their teeth and scolded the Rakshasa ghosts.

The scene became more and more chaotic, and the Dongke Lama pointed at Li Yu and scolded, "You Mongolians are a plate of loose sand", and then walked away, but the little living Buddha became excited and pulled Liu Chengzu to run around.

The meeting couldn't go on, Li Yu simply shook off the host Batur and directly announced the temporary adjournment of the meeting, when to continue to wait for the notice.
