Because Li Hongji is also the prefect of Jinzhou, Jinzhou is currently building roads, immigration, and dividing land, and there are too many specific things, so after receiving Zhu Youzhen's holy decree, he did not leave immediately, but arranged the affairs at hand before going to Tang Harik in Horqin.

Li Hongji's arrival at Tang Harik was a few days later than Huang Xiaofu's arrival in Shengjing, and it was in these days that the news of Mang Gurtai's defeat in Quang Ninh had already spread in Korqin.

If Yue Tuo's red flag was defeated in Liaodong, it may have been that the Ming army launched a surprise attack, and Yue Tuo was taken by surprise, but Mang Gurtai was still defeated by the Ming army after being fully prepared, then there are many things worth pondering.

After Li Hongji arrived at Tang Harik, he offered to pay a visit to Tushetu Khan Oba of Korqin, and Oba received Li Hongji in the main hall of the royal court together with Taiji Saisan.

Oba performed a Han etiquette: "Welcome your envoy all the way to Horqin." ”

"The Great Khan is polite, I have seen the Great Khan, I have seen Taiji!" Neither Oba nor Seisan have been canonized by the Ming court, and Li Hongji can only call themselves by their own titles.

"Lord Li is here in Horqin this time, and Pengxi is all shining!" Seisang sneered haha, which is also the etiquette of a Han person.

"Taiji's words are heavy!" Li Hongji returned the salute, "Great Khan, Taiji, in the next envoy to Horqin, presumably the two of you also know the meaning of my imperial majesty?" ”

"Emperor Ming Xià means......" Oba knows the strength of Horqin, and the Ming Dynasty, Dajin and the Mongolian Chahar Department can't afford to provoke any of them.

Later, the Jurchens rose strongly, under the leadership of Nurhachi, established the Dajin Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty was defeated in Liaodong, and Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar Department was also forced to move westward.

But now that the Ming Dynasty has returned to Liaodong, in silence, the red flag and the blue flag of the Dajin Kingdom are gone, and there have been subtle changes in the hearts of Oba and Seisan.

Therefore, when Li Hongji came to visit, they also wanted to listen to what kind of voice the Ming Emperor would make.

"Great Khan, my Emperor Xià benevolence and righteousness, expect to rebuild with the Horqin Department, and now that the Ming Dynasty has recaptured Guangning, the two sides already have a good geographical foundation for reconciliation." Li Hongji has no branches, there are still many things waiting for him to do in Jinzhou, and he directly pointed out his intention.

"This ......" Oba hesitated, he had just sent away the envoy of the Dajin Kingdom, Jierharang, and ushered in the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, Li Hongji, who didn't know what to do.

"Master Li, I don't know how to reconcile with my Horqin?" Cesan asked.

"I don't know what Horqin needs Daming to do? What can you do for Daming? Li Hongji asked rhetorically.

Oba came to his senses: "Lord Li, Horqin is short of people, I don't know if Daming can see it?" ”

"Great Khan, there are not many people, there are not many things, the key is whether Horqin has the determination to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty and jointly deal with the Jurchen Eight Banners - Ao, it should be called the Jurchen Six Banners now!"

Oba has always been concerned about the Dajin Kingdom, if Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar Department sent an envoy to seek cooperation, for the sake of Mongolia's homology, there is still a chance for cooperation, Daming and Mongolia were once mortal enemies, how could they get along as close as Dajin Kingdom?

However, the Ming army was flourishing, and the Dajin Kingdom was defeated again and again, so he couldn't make up his mind for a while whether to continue to maintain relations with the Dajin Kingdom or make friends with the upstart Daming.

The reason why he can't make up his mind is mainly because he can't see the situation clearly, how long can Daming's victory last? If Da Ming continues to be strong, he will not hesitate, of course, he will fall to Da Ming, but will Da Ming always be strong?

Oba was really afraid, afraid that he would become the legendary bat, and if the two sides were not good, then Korqin would be in danger.

Seisang took the conversation over: "Lord Li, what does His Majesty Emperor Ming want us to do in Horqin?" Just make it clear! ”

"Taiji is really fast-talking, my Emperor Xià knows, and he will definitely be happy," Li Hongji bowed to Saisang alone, "My Emperor Xià said, it's very simple, cut off contact with the Jurchens, and make friends with the Ming Dynasty, under this premise, we can talk about anything." ”

"This ......" Cesan glanced at Oba and saw that Oba was indifferent, so he didn't dare to say anything further.

Li Hongji added: "Of course, the Great Khan and Taiji can also disagree, then Horqin is the same as the Dajin Kingdom, the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and we will have a decisive battle sooner or later." ”

Oba said in a loud voice: "Lord Li, although I am Horqin, I am small, but I have never been intimidated by outsiders. ”

Li Hongji smiled, and Oba was angry, indicating that he had no cards in his hand, and he was afraid in his heart, "Oba Khan misunderstood, this is in Horqin, how dare I threaten the Great Khan?" I just told the truth, after a short distance of thousands of miles, I came to Horqin, just because I really wanted to make friends with Horqin. ”

“……”

"Dajin and my Ming Dynasty is the enemy, for more than ten years, but annexed the Ming Dynasty's Liaodong, for the entire Ming Dynasty, but there is no damage, my Ming counterattack for two months, Dajin lost two of the eight banners, it can be said that the muscles and bones are broken, try to ask the Great Khan and Taiji, if the war continues, how long can the Dajin Kingdom last?"

“……”

"At the behest of my emperor, I came to Horqin to let the Great Khan and Taiji understand that the enemies of my Ming Dynasty are only Jurchens, and Horqin can become our friend."

“……”

"Horqin is different from the Dajin Kingdom, since the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian tribes have been attached, the Han and Mongolia have actually become a family, my emperor Xià remembered the ancestors' legacy, so he sent an envoy to Horqin, hoping that the Great Khan and Taiji can continue the good story of the Han and Mongolian families."

Saisang couldn't help nodding, Li Hongji's words, there was a needle hidden in the cotton, it was not a threat, it was better than a threat. However, Li Hongji also gave them a step, if Oba and he can step on this step, Horqin and Daming will be on good terms, and it will be a matter of course.

With Daming's current combat effectiveness, befriending Daming is really the best choice.

However, can the Ming Dynasty continue its military victory? Can Oba agree with him?

Besides, he just gave his daughter to Huang Taiji, if Li Hongji knew about it, would he say that he was the first to be at both ends?

If Li Hongji had come to Horqin earlier...... Cesan shook his head, but there was no if.

He thought about it, now that Daming and Dajin, the situation is not very clear, and no line can be broken.

"Lord Li's friendship, Seisang understands, but, to tell the truth, Horqin and Dajin have always been good friends, so this will be broken...... We really can't do it for a while. ”

"Taiji doesn't need to be in a hurry," Li Hongji was very generous, "Horqin once helped the Jurchens openly and secretly, and Da Ming didn't know it, but my Imperial Majesty didn't care about the past suspicions, and I hope that Taiji and the Great Khan will consider it carefully." ”

"Thank you Lord Li for understanding our situation, after we go back, we will discuss it again, and we will definitely live up to the expectations of Lord Li and His Majesty Emperor Ming." Saisang followed Li Hongji's example, and he also arched his hands.

"Then I will say goodbye first, and wait for the good news of Taiji and the Great Khan another day!" Li Hongji said goodbye and returned to the inn where he stayed.

While Lee Hong-gi was waiting for Oba and Sei-sang to be summoned again, Oh Keshan returned from Shengjing.

The people who came back with Wu Keshan, in addition to his attendants, also included Shuergege of the Dajin Kingdom.

Cesan had a headache.

Shulge was the daughter of the Great Beledesian, and if he married her, it would help Korqin and even more help Sesan personally strengthen his relationship with the Dajin Kingdom.

But Schulgerg couldn't have come at a better time.

Now the messenger of the Ming Dynasty is in Tang Harik, Li Hongji is wooing Horqin, Cesan is unwilling to give up the opportunity to be won over by the Ming Dynasty, he does not dare to stimulate Li Hongji too much.

Originally, he had persuaded Oba Khan not to offend Li Hongji, not to offend Daming, at least to make Li Hongji feel that Korqin could remain neutral in the competition between Daming and Dajin.

But Schulgeg's arrival left him in a dilemma.

Schulge has come to Don Harrik, he can't leave her there, don't hold a wedding, don't go to the round house, she is the one who the emperor Taiji himself said to make peace, Seysan must marry, and besides, he can't wait too long.

If you marry her and give her a wedding, what will Li Hongji do?

Li Hongji is now the messenger of the Ming Dynasty that Horqin must not ignore, don't let him attend the wedding, Horqin encountered such an important matter, and did not inform him, obviously not respecting him enough; Let him attend the wedding, Shuergege is a member of Dajin Kingdom, and this political marriage is simply mocking Li Hongji.

Cessan paced around the room, he couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds.

"Daddy, didn't Dajin Guo adopt the method of harmony? We can also adopt it for Daming! Wu Keshan's brain turned faster than his father.

"And pro?" Saisan looked at Wu Keshan with blank eyes, "How do you get along?" ”

Wu Keshan plucked up his courage: "Let's also ask Daming to marry one of their princesses." ”

Seysan shook his head: "Bad idea!" The Ming Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, how can they ever see their princess marry? Monan Mongolia has not been able to marry the princess of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention our Horqin! ”

Wu Keshan thought for a while: "Daddy, why don't we send a Gege to Emperor Ming?" ”

"I'm afraid the Ming Emperor won't marry our Gege, the Han people have beautiful women," Saisang still shook his head, "Besides, I don't have any daughters left to send to the Ming Dynasty - your two younger sisters are married to the Great Khan of Tiancong!" ”

"Daddy, as long as Emperor Ming is willing to marry, isn't there a Ulan Sobud in the second uncle's family? For the sake of Korqin, for the sake of the Borzigit clan, the second uncle will not object. ”

"Ulan Sobud?" Seisang stopped, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, "Her status is too low, Emperor Ming will not marry her, even if he marries her, he will not take it seriously." ”

Wu Keshan has no way, his two younger sisters, Hari Zhula and Bumu Butai, are born like flowers and jade, each one is more beautiful than the other, but they are both married to Tiancong Khan, or he personally escorted them over, without women, no matter how good the idea is, it is useless.

"Daddy, otherwise, let Ulan Sobud marry the envoy, let the envoy go back and say a few good words for Horqin, and save you from being embarrassed when you marry Shuergege, just killing two birds with one stone."
