The next morning, shortly after Gushi Khan arose, Ozirtu, the eldest son of his eldest brother Baibhagas, broke into his tent. Although he was courteous, he could clearly feel that he was a little dissatisfied, so he asked: "Uncle Khan, I heard that you not only personally greeted the envoy of the Ming Kingdom yesterday, but also entertained us with the most honorable etiquette in Mongolia?" ”

Gu Shi Khan sensed his dissatisfaction, but he was not angry, but just smiled slightly: "What's wrong?" ”

It was only after the murder of his eldest brother Baibhagas that he was supported as Gushi Khan, that is, he was actually taken over from his eldest brother. When he first succeeded to the throne, he said that after him, the throne would pass to the eldest son of the eldest brother, that is, Ozirtu.

Now he was forty-eight years old, and Ozirtu was also an adult, and he was sent out to go through the training, and he came back in the morning to hear about yesterday's events.

Hearing Gushi Khan's rhetorical question, Ozirtu couldn't help but say with a little anger: "You are the honorable Gushi Khan, how can you lower your status so much and treat the envoy of the Ming Kingdom with courtesy?" You didn't do that last time! ”

"This time, that time!" Gu Shi Khan smiled and said, "The Ming Kingdom, with its army in the northwest, suddenly wiped out the Tumut Department and killed Bu Shitu with lightning speed, you shouldn't know it, right?" ”

"So what?" Ozirtu retorted a little unconvinced, "Nabu Shitu can't even beat Lin Dan Khan, and he escapes like a lost dog." With that bit of strength, my nephew can destroy him! ”

Speaking of this, seeing Gushi Khan open his mouth to speak, he hurriedly preemptively said again: "Uncle Khan, my nephew remembers that you said that it has been nearly three hundred years since the founding of the Ming Kingdom, and he is dying of old age, and now he can't even keep Liaodong, and he has not even been able to fight back when he was beaten by the Jianzhou Jurchen Department. With such strength, why should we and the Shuote Department be afraid of them? ”

When Gu Shihan heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Ozirtu, you can't always look at people with old eyes. You have to learn to observe and grasp the details! ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and saw that Ozirtu seemed to be a little puzzled and unconvinced, so he explained in detail: "I used to say that kind of thing is true, but that was said before. Judging from the news we have heard in the past year, there are signs of prosperity in the Ming Kingdom. The old concept must keep pace with the times, and if you rest on your laurels, you will pay the price sooner or later! ”

"Just because you killed the stone rabbit?" Ozirtu asked rhetorically, a little unconvinced.

When Gu Shi Khan heard this, he shook his head and said, "Before the destruction of the stone rabbit, the Ming Kingdom also destroyed Lin Dan Khan. If it was just Lin Dan Khan, it could be said that there were reasons such as coincidence, but he used the power of thunder to destroy Bu Shitu. This can be explained not only by coincidence, but only by showing that the strength of the country is still very strong......"

Speaking of this, he sighed in his heart when he saw that Ozirtu was still unconvinced. This nephew has just come of age, and he is young and vigorous, and he really can't see the essence of things.

Thinking so, he looked at the sky and felt that there was still time, so he continued: "You must know that the Ming Kingdom is fighting on all sides. But even so, the Ming State can still draw troops and destroy the Chahar Department and the Tumut Department in succession, and its strength will definitely not be bad. There is another key point in this......"

"What's the key?" Ozirtu asked, a little puzzled.

Gu Shi Khan's face became a little more serious and said: "If I were the leader of the Jianzhou Jurchens, I would definitely not let the Ming Kingdom occupy the Hetao region all the time." Otherwise, after the Ming State has a fertile Hetao, it will inevitably exert strong pressure on Liaodong. But you see, this is almost the end of the year, but the Ming State can still draw troops to the west to crusade against Bu Shitu. This shows that on the Liaodong side, the Ming Kingdom must be sure. In other words, the situation in Liaodong is afraid that the Ming State has the advantage. Otherwise, I believe that with the rise of the Jianzhou Jurchens in such a short period of time, its leader will definitely not be a mediocre person, and he will not fail to think of this and not respond. ”

At first, Ozirtu was still a little unconvinced, but after hearing it, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Gushi Khan's inference was reasonable. With such an understanding, he was suddenly a little surprised, thinking in his heart, how did Ming Guo become so powerful?

He was thinking about it, and Gushi Khan was still saying: "The Ming Kingdom is far away from us, and the Western Regions is not the place that the Ming Kingdom focuses on. That is to say, it is very unlikely that the Ming Kingdom will take the initiative to become an enemy of me. Unless we and the Shuote Department take the initiative to provoke the Ming Kingdom, then there may be a big war. In this case, then why do we and the Shuote Department still want to provoke the Ming Kingdom and take the initiative to provoke a big war of strong confrontation? Needless to say, even if we win, how much will we lose and what will we lose, and will we be able to get enough benefits? ”

This series of questions made Ozirtu a little unthinkable, and faintly, he felt that what Gushi Khan was doing was well thought out.

"Now we are in trouble enough with the Shuote Department, Tibet, Qinghai, Khalkha Mongolia, and even Tsarist Russia, you don't know about it. It is clear what the focus of our Heshute Department is. Could it be that in this situation, we still have to take the initiative to provoke and provoke the Ming Kingdom far away in the east to become the enemy of our Heshuo Special Department? ”

Gushi Khan's question made Ozirtu unable to answer. Things have been said so clearly, he is a normal person, as long as he is not hostile to Ming Guo from the beginning and has enmity with Ming Guo, he knows what to do!

"They Han people have a word, I think it's very good!" Gushi Khan saw that Ozirtu was paying attention to him, so he smiled again and said: "Distant friendship and close attack, I think this is a principle for maintaining what kind of relationship with the Shuote Department and other forces. Friendship with the powerful Ming Kingdom is conducive to us and the Shuote Department to deal with other things. Moreover, Ming Guo has already expressed goodwill to us before and is willing to exchange money with us. In that case, why don't we take advantage of the situation and have one more friend than one more enemy, right? ”

"Uncle Khan is right!" Ozirtu finally acknowledged Gushi Khan's point of view, nodded and replied.

When Gushi Khan saw it, he was very pleased, so he stepped forward and patted Ozirtu on the shoulder and said, "Then you will stay by my side today and see how I deal with the relationship with the powerful lord." After this is over, you will go to Ufa on my behalf to get in touch with the Tsarist side, and it is best to deal with it in the same way as I do with the relationship between the Ming Kingdom. Only in this way will we and the Shute Department have the energy to do the other two things, understand? ”

"Good!" Ozirtu nodded, he was a little curious in his heart, he didn't know what kind of communication Gushi Khan would have with the envoy of the Ming Kingdom to achieve such a goal?
