Chapter 181: Daddy's Country
Azig traveled all the way, taking only a short nap on horseback, and rushed back to the forward camp in the middle of the night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the camp of the Aixin Kingdom, Azig reported in detail the situation of the battle at the front to the Great Khan Abahai, saying that the forward battalion had lost 50 Eight Banner armor soldiers and 100 white-flag guards, and that the opponent had a reed raft that could defend against arrows, and it was definitely not Chahar.
Starling Aba Hai first scolded him for being reckless and underestimating the enemy, and then taught him that his brothers should work together to deal with outsiders, and that they should not only care about themselves in everything.
Abahai left him to have a feast with the eldest Bel Daishan, the fifth brother Mang'er Gutai, and several Mongolian taiji, and gave him two pots of mare's milk wine.
Farewell to the Abahai Sea: the army set off for a month, and the grain and grass were already insufficient. The purpose of this battle is to find Chahar to avenge the Korqin family, and not to entangle with a small group of grassland forces. After returning to the forward battalion, it is best to be able to destroy this force easily, otherwise, I am afraid that the food and grass consumed in the delay will be more than the harvest after defeating this force. Even if Chahar can't find it, he must report it early, and the army will make other arrangements. Don't take the loss of troops to heart.
Azig secretly said that Duo'er Red was really good.
When Azig returned to the forward camp, he heard the little brother Duoduo say that Duo Erhong was captured, and he suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
After a while, Azig asked in disbelief: "Who are the people on the other side?" ”
Duoduo took out the oath drawn by both sides of the strait not to insult the captured generals.
Although the oath is written in Mongolian, the Mongolian and Manchu languages are of the same lineage, and the difference is not huge. Before Nurhachi "founded" the old Manchu language, it was common to spell the language in Mongolian characters, and the so-called Old Manchu was actually a variant of Mongolian, so it was not difficult for Azig to read Mongolian.
In the first column from the left of the vow, the words "love New Urus" are blank, apparently in preparation for the addition of the name of the person who took the oath.
Azig was not satisfied with just one glance at the second column, "Why is the word in the second column as high as the word Jin Guo in the first column?" ”
Duo Duoyan said: "When negotiating this oath, we originally wanted to take the word heaven as the highest, our Jin country is two words lower than the sky, and their name is one word lower than our Jin country, but they insisted that the two parties were generally high and refused to give in. Duo Erhong was captured, and we can't afford to stalemate over these matters. In the end it was agreed that both sides were generally high, but we were in front of them in the back. ”
Although Azig was unwilling, what Duoduo said was reasonable, so he continued to read.
The oath is in the second column from the left, "Father and Mother Urus, Altan Urus, General Soldier Yan Gridian""
Azig read "Daddy and Mother Urus" several times and asked Duoduo, "What kind of country is this Daddy?" ”
In the era of Chongzhen's five years, whether it was in Mongolian or the old Manchu script born from Mongolian, there was a big problem in spelling Chinese or Manchu. The general content can be made up by the brain, so it doesn't matter, but when it comes to the names of people and places, nine times out of ten mistakes will be made. After the Chinese character "Tiemu" is written in Mongolian, it can be read as "father and mother", "brother and grandmother", "brother and grandmother", "iron wood", "Tiye Mu", "Tiye Muer" and so on.
Duoduo replied: "Today's time is urgent, so I didn't ask more." There are only two possibilities, one is taken from the two Chinese characters "father" and "mother". ”
Azig doesn't know Chinese, and Duoduo explains: "Dad" and "Mother" are the meanings of Ama and Eniang. ”
Azig pondered: "Ama Eniangguo, it makes sense. Presumably a Han couple gave birth to many sons and became a country of their own. ”
Duoduo continued: "Another possibility is the Mongolian or Turkic word 'Temur', which is iron of gold, silver, copper, and iron. Temur Urus is the Iron Country. ”
Azig sincerely admired: "You and Duo Erhong have read a lot of books, and it still makes sense for Tie Guo, so it's easy to call it." Otherwise, call him Ama Eniangguo, and let him take advantage of him for no reason. ”
Duoduo did not dwell on Azig's analysis, and continued:
"Actually, if you read it any further, it's clear at a glance. Altan Urus is the country of gold, this word is derived from the Mongolian language without any objection, and today we have repeatedly struggled with the word "country of gold". Those who listened to the cross-strait negotiators said that they called themselves the Jin Kingdom because their leader was the forehead of the original steppe Jin State that had been destroyed by Chahar. From this, there is no doubt that the so-called 'Ama Eniang Country' is the 'Iron Country'. ”
"The Iron Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom are one, and there is only one total soldier, who is roughly called "Yan Gelidian", who may be an unknown Mongol. ”
"In fact, the so-called Iron Country and Jin Country are just their arrogance. When I visited Duo Erhong today, they blindfolded me, but I secretly calculated the pace and direction, and already knew that their camp was not large, and there were not many soldiers and horses. ”
Azig reads down again, and the third column from the left is simple:
"For the sake of not bullying the two families who were executored in official affairs, sue"
The third column is cut off, and in the fourth column two words above the other columns, it is written:
"Abba Tengger: If the two families catch each other's generals, they are not allowed to insult them. If you violate this statement and bully and insult the general, then"
The fourth column is cut off again, and in the same high position of the next column it is written:
"Tengger Abba condemned and died early, and he died well. If neither of them violates the alliance and is honest to the end, then "
Still disconnected, start a new column and continue:
"Tengger Abba bless and enjoy great blessings."
"Tengger Abba" is the Chinese "God". Azig hurriedly read the oath and felt that there was nothing wrong with the words, and he understood it smoothly.
Over the years, Azig, as the elder Baylor, has participated in many similar oaths, such as the oath of loving the new country and Korea, the oath of loving the new country and the Mongolian tribes dozens of times, the oath of loving the new country and the Daling River defenders of the great birthday of the ancestors, and the oath of loving the new country and the Ming army of Phi Island, etc.
Although the Nikan officials of the Aixin Guowen Museum made the Chinese version of the oath so incomprehensible that people couldn't understand it, the oath in the Manchu text was all the truth and vernacular, otherwise they wouldn't understand it if they didn't read it.
Azig shook his oath and directly concluded: "This thing starling won't approve!" ”
Duoduo said: "I know. But if it weren't for this oath, Duo Erhong would have been bullied over there. When I saw Duo'er Red today, he didn't even have a piece of clothing, and when he ate, he put an impermeable robe around his waist, and the food he ate was not as good as pig and dog food! ”
Azig was ruthless, and pockmarked his face twitched violently.
"Since they don't have many soldiers and horses, and you know where Duo'er Hong is imprisoned, it's better for our brothers to mobilize two white flag soldiers and horses, and fight hundreds or thousands of lives to kill the other side!"
"Brother! You have to think before you do something. If you were the chief soldier of this Iron Country and the Jin Country, Yan Ge Dian and I transferred a large army to kill across the river, what would you do? ”
"Naturally...... It's not good, I'll kill Duo'er Hong with a knife when you cross the river, and then run so far that you can't find it. ”
At this time, Duo Duo took out Duo Erhong's secret letter and handed it to Azig.
"Brother, Duo Erhong has an explanation: first, secretly send a batch of horses to the other side; second, it is permissible to give him clothes openly; Third, Duo Erhong said that he was crazy and couldn't lead troops in the future, but he actually understood it when he said this! ”
"Duoduo, just say it directly, what does Duo'er Red mean."
"I guess that Duo Erhong asked her to secretly send a batch of horses to the other side, which means that he and the other side have reached some kind of confidential deal; He said that he could openly send him clothes, that is, he could make public the news of his capture; He said that he would not be able to lead troops after he went crazy, so that some people could rest assured that they would not have to take this opportunity to put him to death. ”
"So what should we do?"
"Do as Duo Erhong says! First stabilize the Jin Kingdom and the Iron Kingdom on the other side, and make public the news that Duo Erhong was captured and went crazy, so as to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to harm him. Then I had a breath with the fifth and tenth brothers of the blue flag. ”
"This ......," Azig hesitated, "walking around with the blue flag at this juncture?" Isn't it too dangerous? ”
"Brother! I can't care about that much! It's important to save people! ”
