Chapter 367: No Layman in Foreign War!

When Urus Borot was sensible, his father Batu Munk was already the Great Khan who had secured the throne, and his mother was the famous Mandu Hai Dahatun, although there were still tribal leaders around him who were suspicious, but the situation was much more relaxed than when his father first ascended the throne, so it is not an exaggeration to describe him as being born with a golden spoon in his mouth. Compared with the eldest brother Tuluborot, as a twin brother, he is more handsome and has more outstanding martial arts, so he is deeply loved by Batu Munch, and this time he led the troops to the battle as Jinong, but who would have thought that this battle of ambition would actually put him in prison.

Since he committed suicide and was captured, he has forgotten how many days have passed. At first, he was gagged and escorted all the way back to Datong, and he was still able to calculate in his heart. But as if he had been forgotten and locked up in a small dark room, he could no longer count the number of days, and the only thing he remembered was that he had eaten eighty mealsβ€”but some of them were very long apart, some of them were very short apart, and his biological clock was disturbed by the fact that he was groggy and woken up every time he slept every day. One morning, when he was dragged out of the dark room and put into a carriage, even those who knew him well in the past might not be able to recognize the emaciated and bearded man as the second prince who was in high demand in the Chahar Khan's court.

If he had been transferred to Beijing from the beginning, he would have either thought about escaping, or thinking about committing suicide, or making some big noise. But after being locked up for so long, his sharp spirit has almost been polished, and he eats and drinks what he is half-dead to eat and drink along the way, without a single superfluous word. At last he was dragged out of the carriage and stuffed into a dark room, and he woke up at once, and threw himself up with all his might, but the door was slammed shut tightly in front of him, and it was back to the state of the small black room before.

"Bastard, open the door, let me out, I want to see the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

Urusborot does not speak Chinese like his sister Tululetu, this series of Mongolian words burst out of his mouth, and the Xichang fans guarding outside are all authentic people from Beijing, and no one can understand it. Listening to the shouting inside, the two of them glanced at each other, and one of them smiled and said: "Zhong Tou'er is really worthy of his reputation, and he can still catch such a Tartar from Datong." ”

"Who's to say it isn't? Otherwise, how could Father-in-law Gu be such a picky person, how could he spend an hour as the commander of thousands of households? The top took care of it, and the Tartar in it only gave him three meals, and didn't pay attention to the rest, and killed his surname. ”

"Father-in-law Gu and Zhong Tou'er are too generous, if I really want to kill his surname, then give him one meal a day, he is so hungry that he is half dead, give him a whip and two boards every day as three meals, and see what strength he has to call there!"

If Urusborot could understand Chinese, he would have been half angry at the cruelty that the two men discussed as if nothing had happened, but it was a pity that he could not understand a word, only that the people outside completely ignored him, and when his voice was hoarse and smoking, he sat down weakly, with regret and hatred in his heart.

Gu Dayong, who had just returned from Datong, went straight to the palace, and Huitong happily took a few buckets of well water in the courtyard to take a shower, changed into dry clothes and went out, and went straight to Xing'anbo Mansion according to the agreement with Gu Dayong. He is also a person who often comes and goes, and now that Jin Liu is in charge of the door, he naturally led him in directly.

In the past, Xu Xun was busy outside, and Xu Liang was idle at home, but now he has turned around. Xu Liang said that he was going to Jingying to supervise the war, but Xu Xun got a leave, except for stealing incense and jade outside the city, most of the time he stayed at home to make up for the previous more than a month of saddle horse fatigue. At this time, when he was under the eaves of the study, he was still yawning.

"The little uncle's spirit is so bad, has it been singing at night lately?"

As soon as he sat down in the study, Huitong joked with a smile. And Xu Xun sat down on the chair with the yellow pear relief at the back of the bookcase, put his hands on the armrest of the cloud pattern Ruyi's head, and immediately said angrily: "It's too late to make up for sleep every day, where can I have so many free nights and songs?" But you, can you go to Datong smoothly this time? ”

When it came to official business, Huitong put away his hippie smile and told him what Gu Dayong asked him to convey one by one: "Datong is an important town, if it weren't for the fact that Zhuang Zongbing won the imperial court's commendation for his great victory, he still guarded Datong, but his official position was raised by one level, and Gu Gonggong and I would not have built the branch of Xichang in Xuanfu so blatantly this time." However, there are more than a dozen people in the total, and they say that they are detectives, but in fact, it is just the first time that the handle of the West Factory has been stretched out of the capital. ”

"You're right, Gu Dayong looks sloppy, but in fact, he is an understanding person, this time he went to Datong, more to hide from right and wrong than to expand his power, so it is enough to do this." Xu Xun's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, and he suddenly asked, "How about the person I asked you to escort me back?" ”

"The little black house locked him up for a month, and he was half dead when he pulled it out, and he was very honest when he came back this way, but he made a fuss when he arrived at the West Factory, but it was expected to be the end of the strong crossbow." Speaking of this, Huitong leaned forward and asked with great interest, "I said little uncle, this kid is a serious Mongolian prince, you caught it and said that you let Mongolia go to internal fighting by itself, and it was just a matter if you didn't report it to the court, but why did you even hide it from the emperor?" And when the Mongols are locked up like this, what are you going to do? Could it be that he is planning to pry out the reality of the Tartar Khan Court from his mouth? ”

"The people didn't come back, I told the emperor, in case the emperor is interested, I have to let you take it back in advance, isn't it a trouble? Now that the dust has settled, such a person enters Beijing without knowing it, even if the Tartars have a fine annihilation, they can't find out, which is the safest. As for prying open his mouth, there is no need for that, he will say anything for a year and a half after closing him, but the situation on the grassland is changing rapidly, and it will be outdated at that time. I kept him because he was a special person who could come in handy when I did something in the future. ”

Huitong was very interested in Xu Xun's statement about certain things, and immediately asked: "Some of the things that the little uncle said are ......"

"Although the combined forces of Yongshebu and Ordos are extraordinary, if Dayan Khan gathers a large army in a fit of rage, then their strength is still not so good. If I'm not mistaken, the Khan Court must be using the banner of revenge for this second prince, if we manage to send this second prince to a place......"

"Where?"

"I heard that now this Dayan Khan, who is sitting on the throne of Khan, is full of thoughts about restoring the glory of Genghis Khan and bringing all the tribes on the steppe under the rule of the Golden Family, so except for those generals who are loyal to him, most of the other tribal lords have different intentions, especially those who have always been married to the Golden Family and are quite powerful in their own strength. Among them, the son-in-law of the Great Khan in front of him, Huo Sie, must be the most reluctant to give up his territory to others. ”

These are all Xu Xun's previous times on the grassland, like Lao Chai Huo and Shenying heard about it, at this time, seeing Huitong's thoughtful eyes flickering, obviously calculating quickly, he said again: "I heard that Dayan Khan has eleven sons, placed in our Central Plains, three or four princes will also compete for the throne, and this grassland must be no exception." This second prince was already Jinong, and if he 'died' like this, this position would definitely fall into the hands of others, and when he appeared again, there would inevitably be a fight. Of course, if there is no fire sieve, coupled with our help, he will lose the battle, and he can't even tell how to go back, and it will definitely not be so easy to regain his foothold. ”

"What does the little uncle mean by helping him fight for the throne?"

"No, we do business with them." Xu Xun saw that Huitong was dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Those Tartar cattle, horses, and sheep have the most, but there are few things for pleasure, plus tea and so on must rely on the Guannei, so they all want to exchange markets with Daming." Opening this opening to a limited number of people will naturally have corresponding benefits. In addition, whether it is Jinyiwei or the East Factory or the West Factory, the spearhead is included, and I know almost nothing about the military situation in the north, and my purpose is to lay an intelligence network in the north. Therefore, I plan to propose to the emperor when the time is right to build another detective yamen to specialize in external affairs! ”

When it comes to this, if Huitong doesn't understand anymore, he's a complete fool. Xu Xun now seems to be a hot upstart, whether it is Pingbeibo, or the former military governor and the governor of the government, in fact, they all sound good, the only name of the avant-garde palm print of the government army, but the avant-garde of the government army is still incomplete! Previously, Xu Xun had already rejected the position of Jinyiwei, and the only way was to form a new one outside the existing yamen, and then firmly grasp it in his hands.

"Little uncle is so courageous!"

Xu Xun naturally wouldn't be elated when he heard Huitong's flattery, after all, grasping a yamen that he could really control was the foundation of his life, so he just smiled slightly: "People often say that we are experts in internal fighting, and laymen in foreign wars, the reason is very simple, our people often put a lot of effort into exploring and analyzing their own people, but for outsiders, they are often negligent and only think about closing the door and the world will be peaceful, but they don't know that they know that they will not be defeated in a hundred battles." If you want to fight abroad without being a layman, how can you do it with a black eye? ”

"How many people do you want me to recommend?"

"Not for now. This is going out to detect and investigate, but it is not as good as Jinyiwei and the East Factory and the West Factory, and the manpower has to be cultivated slowly. You take care of the stall of the West Factory, so that Gu Dayong can't do without you. ”

Soon, he and Huitong reached an agreement on the matter of Urusborot, and asked the West Factory to temporarily lock people up for another month, and learned that Gu Dayong intended to build a branch of the West Factory in Xuanfu, and he even agreed to help write a letter to Zhang Jun. Until he sent Huitong out of the door, he recruited Jin Liu.

"Go to the Mansion of the Eldest Princess of Renhe to invite Qi Jiliang, and then go to the Mansion of Dingguo to invite Xu Yanche, let them come over, and say that I have something important to explain to the two of them."
