Chapter 849: The Peak and the Pavilion (I)
After reaching a consensus with the imperial court, the 1,000 lamas who had come with Sonam Gyatso were ready to set off. Noyan Dara was worried about his people, but he always felt that it was impossible for Da Ming to let him go back, so when Shen Mo called him to the signing room and asked him if he wanted to continue to stay in Yulin or go back with the lamas, he couldn't believe it: "Didn't the Governor entertain me?" ”
"What am I doing with you?" Shen Mo closed the scroll and said with a smile: "Although those lamas are full of enthusiasm, they are not familiar with life after all, and without the care of you, the head of the house, they will definitely be ......struggling step by step" As he spoke, he got up and walked in front of him, and said with a smile: "You are the Jinong of Mongolia, and you are like an eagle with wings tied in the Han land, what can you do?" Go back and lead your people out of their predicament and on the path of peace and happiness. ”
Noyan Dara was sure that silence was really not a joke, and her heart couldn't help but be moved, and she hissed: "Thank you for your trust, I will definitely live up to my trust." ”
"The survival of the clan and the great responsibility of peace are all on your shoulders, and Jinong's burden is very heavy, and the pressure must be great." Shen Mo shook his hand: "But you have to resist the pressure, let's fight together for the peace of Han and Mongolia!" ”
Yan Dara also clenched Shen Mo's hand and said emotionally: "I swear in the name of the Buddha that I will belong to the Ming Dynasty in this life and this life, and I will never do anything against the adults." ”
"I also swear by my ancestors," said in a deep voice, "to treat the Mongols and the Han as equals, and do our best for the eternal peace between the two sides, so that the Mongols can live a prosperous and stable life!" ”
After the mountain alliance and sea oath, he silently sent Noyan Dara out of the door, and saw Unachu wearing a samurai suit with a purple round neck and sleeves, and the calfskin belt was tightly tightened, making her legs long and waist thin, which was eye-catching. Today she did not wear that kind of Mongolian crown hat, but tied her hair with a hairpin, with a forehead band inlaid with emeralds, and against the background of her fine velvet white fur collar, she looked even more bright and heroic.
In this iron-blooded military fortress, this woman is like a bright snow lotus, and even Shen Mo is willing to look at her twice.
Seeing the silent admiring gaze, Noyandara smiled and asked, "What do you think of my daughter?" ”
"Good." He smiled silently and said: "Zhong Jin Beiji, Zhong Tiandi's spirit show, and even more women don't let the wind of eyebrows, it is really the pride of Jinong." ”
"Yes," looking at her daughter, Noyandara smiled proudly: "The proudest thing in my life is to raise such a good daughter." As he spoke, his gaze became complicated and said: "My daughter is my treasure, my most cherished beautiful jade, since she was just an adult, I have been thinking all day long, what kind of man to find for my daughter, what kind of man can be worthy of her." ”
"Abba ......" Although Unachu is not afraid of heaven and earth, he is a daughter after all, and he was sold by his father and mother-in-law, and his face was flushed, and he was a little dissatisfied.
Mo's smile was a little complicated, and he looked at Unachu and said, "Is Zhong Jin a good match?" "We've seen a lot of each other these days, and he and Unachu are already acquainted, so it's not rude to ask this.
"Not yet married." Noyan Dara said proudly: "It's not that I, the broom who is a father, is self-cherished, but in this grassland, after Altan Khan, there have been no heroes for a long time, and there is no one in the younger generation who can be eye-catching." Saying that, regardless of his daughter pinching the soft flesh on his waist behind his back, he looked at Shen Mo and said: "This time I went to Handi, I thought I would never come back, but I was fortunate to meet an adult, treat me like a guest, treat me like a grandmother, your demeanor and wisdom, I really only see it in my life." I think you're the one I've been looking for......" paused, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said, "If you don't dislike it, I'll marry my daughter to adults!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the clocks in the courtyard could be heard, and even the well-trained guards couldn't help but start to wander...... The heart said that this guy was really ashamed, and he actually promoted his daughter. But looking at Zhong Jin Beiji's bright and incomprehensible face, he felt that his own adults had really taken a big advantage. If such a woman doesn't want it, I'm afraid God will curse him and become a monk for the rest of his life.
~~~
"Abba......" The first to come back to her senses was Unachu, her pretty face turned crimson, and she bit her plump lower lip and said, "Didn't you say that your daughter's marriage is up to you?" It seems that this matter has not been discussed in advance, so she is naturally caught off guard.
"You don't have a right idea yourself," since he said it, of course Noyandala has to defend his position: "I'm naturally going to help you make up your mind......" Chao Girl bared his teeth and smiled: "I believe Dad, a man who is better than Inspector Shen has not yet been born." ”
"You like it so much, just marry yourself." Zhong Jin couldn't resist the shame anymore, and stomped his feet and said, "I won't marry a Han ......" After speaking, he no longer cared about his father's safety, and ran away.
"This kid ......" Seeing that she was gone, Noyan Dara smiled awkwardly at Shen Mo: "Actually, he is still very educated, but he is thin-skinned, so I'm embarrassed." ”
"Hehe......" Shen Mo came back to his senses from the drama of 'Strange Uncle Dominating Little Lori', and said with a wry smile: "Could it be that Jinong wants to take advantage of me?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Noyandara wondered.
"You and I were originally good brothers," Shen Mo smiled, "Why do you suddenly want me to call you father-in-law?" ”
"Well, that's not what I meant......" Noyandara was afraid that the silence would be misunderstood.
"Of course I do." Silent and solemn said: "I haven't introduced Jinong before, in fact, I have a wife and concubines in my family, and there are groups of children......" The corners of his mouth hung a trace of pride and helpless smile: "My eldest two boys will be fourteen after the New Year, if they are two years older, no need for Jinong to say, I would have begged to marry you a long time ago." ”
"What's wrong with me?" I don't know if Noyan Dara is too sincere, or if she wants Shen Mo to call her father too much, he laughed and said, "What is the age gap?" My youngest Hartun is the same age as Zhong Jin, and he is also very happy. "Harton, that's what Madame meant.
"Jinong Yanfu is not shallow, it is really enviable." The silent brain completely got rid of the peachy color, and regained its consciousness and said: "But I really can't be careless...... said and lowered his voice: "Shen's courtiers, trusted by His Majesty the Emperor, temperate the nine sides, under the command of millions of elites, act cheaply, and the prime minister will save several provinces and taxes...... We Han people have a saying, called 'the tree is big, and the high position is slandered', which is what I say. ”
"At present, I am strongly advocating turning the war into a jade silk, which has caused the Qing gossip officials in the DPRK and China to be very dissatisfied," Shen Mo sighed lightly: "If I marry Jinong's daughter again, I am afraid that I will be buried by their bullet seal immediately." My personal reputation is a trivial matter, but it is a major matter that ruined the peace between Han and Mongolia, but it should never be done! ”
"So ......" It's not that the daughters can't get married, hearing Shen Mo say this, Noyandala naturally won't force it anymore, and said a little hesitantly: "It seems that I didn't think it through, I just wanted to find a good man for my daughter, but I forgot to get down to business." ”
"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world." Shen Mo smiled gently: "But I really am not a good match, Zhong Jin should still find a young man of the same age, instead of marrying an old tree crow like me." ”
"If you were an old tree crow," Shen Mo could speak, and Noyandara quickly improved, looking at his young and handsome face, and said with a smile: "The youth of the world will not be able to live." ”

Anyway, he didn't sweep the other party's face, and silently sent Noyandara out of the hospital. When he turned back to the house, he saw Wang Chonggu sitting on the kang, shook his head again and again, and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity......"
"It's a pity that it's a good marriage." During this period of time getting along day and night, the relationship between the two has been completely repaired and warmed up, and it has reached the point where you can joke at will, Wang Chonggu smiled: "I see that your smile is far-fetched, I think your heart is like a knife now, right?" ”
"There aren't many good girls, so let's leave it to the young people." Shen Mo laughed and scolded, picked up a hot wet towel to wipe his face, sat opposite Wang Chonggu and said: "What's more, this rose not only has thorns, but also may be poisonous, if I am ten years younger, I will definitely look for stimulation." Now, as a three-no man, how can you still be qualified to play this? As he said this, the woman with a mandala flower flashed in his mind. That love game that he thought was high in the end not only hurt each other, but also caused others to fall into pain, and in the end he could only forget the world, becoming a scar that he could not touch in this life.
Seeing that Shen Mo suddenly became depressed, Wang Chonggu knew that he must have remembered something unbearable from the past, so he had to end the topic and said: "Count me too much, but what is the meaning of 'three no men'?" ”
"No time, no energy, no space." Shen Mo smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let's get down to business." ”
Chonggu nodded, putting away the playful smile on his face.
"Qi Jiguang's grain and grass is in an emergency, and he has urged it several times to ask for grain and grass to be shipped." Shen Mo looked at Wang Chonggu and said, "I want to take the opportunity of escorting the lamas this time to send them grain and grass." ”
"I brought three months' supplies at the beginning," Wang Chonggu said softly: "Now there is at least half a month, plus the captured cattle and sheep, it should be able to survive the first month, or wait for the Mongols to withhold it and withdraw to Hebei." ”
"What if they don't withdraw?" Sighing silently, he took out an envelope from the table, handed it to Wang Chonggudao, and said, "This is just sent by the Military Intelligence Department, and I haven't had time to show it to you yet." Wang Chonggu took it and took a look, and his face changed and said, "I still made a move." ”
"If he really sees the army in Hetao end up and is indifferent, it won't be a big problem for my Ming Dynasty for decades." Shen Mo said: "This time, he scraped all the land and supported the grain and grass in the Hetao, although it was a drop in the bucket for the Ordos departments, but if he concentrated on supplying the army, he could last for a month or two...... So we want to wait for them to take the initiative to retreat, which is unlikely. ”
"But now the snow on the way to Dongsheng can reach knees, and it is completely impossible to drive." Wang Chonggu said with a grim face: "The tens of thousands of chariots and baggage trucks in Dongsheng City have become waste; Without chariots camping, how can we withstand the night sneak attack of the Mongols? Even if we are heavily protected, they can't grab it, but they can always do it if they set it on fire to us. "And I'm sure they've been refusing to go back, just waiting for this opportunity." ”
"That's a good point, but we have a way now." He smiled silently and mysteriously: "The living Buddha in the Anxi Temple has boundless mana, and it can help us transport military rations to Dongsheng." ”
"Your Excellency won't be being treated by that lama these days, will you?" Wang Chonggu said in disbelief: "What did he say, is he going to use wooden oxen to flow horses, or to open the altar?" ”
"Neither." Shen Mo smiled: "Actually, people have been ready for a long time, don't tell me you haven't noticed." ”
"You mean the camels that fill the city?" As soon as he said this, Wang Chonggu remembered the camel caravans that had recently arrived in Yulinbao. The owners of those caravans include Tibetans, Mongolians and Han Chinese, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they all believe in the Yellow Religion...... Of course, according to people's teachings, they believe in the living Buddha in the Anxi Temple. Wang Chonggu understood the meaning of silence: "My lord wants to use camels to transport military rations? ”
Silently explained in a praising tone: "This thing of camel is really the creation of heaven and earth...... The limbs are long, and the feet are soft and wide, making them especially suitable for walking on loose ground. You must know that it has the reputation of the Ship of the Desert, but you don't necessarily know that it is actually a master of the snow. ”
"I don't really know, but I know it's too slow." Wang Chonggu said: "Otherwise, I don't have to raise this." ”
"Camels do move slowly." Shen Mo said: "Even on the snow, it can't compare to the small short-legged grassland horse, but it can't stand its strength and hard work, and it can walk one hundred and twenty miles on the snow every day under the condition of carrying four hundred catties, and walk for four days in a row, just enough to fight a round trip." ”
"And it also has the advantage that you can eat enough at one time, but you can go without food for several days. This only needs to be fed once on departure, and there is no need to feed on the way to and from the trip, so there is no need to bring your own forage. Compared to mules and horses with the same load, they can carry much more supplies. ”
"It seems that the adults have been studying for a long time, why didn't they tell me earlier?" Wang Chonggu said with disgust.
"I haven't figured out if it's going to work, so why hurry to say it?" Shen Mo smiled and explained: "If it doesn't work, wouldn't you be smiling and generous?" ”
"Okay, one last question." Wang Chonggu asked, "How to deal with the night attack of the Mongols?" ”
