He had already said that he was going to build a city, but this was also the first time he had experienced it, and even if he had knowledge from the afterlife, he didn't have much to do with it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Fortunately, Liu Dingchen and those craftsmen have more or less participated, and under the patchwork of everyone, they finally came up with a rough drawing a few days later. Although it is not delicate enough, it is much better in the eyes of Burhan, after all, everyone is not professional, and with limited time, it is already very good to be able to do this.

With the drawings and Alet's national mobilization, the whole purple mud has just stopped for a few days and will soon return to the hot scene. It reminds him of a TV scene when the women began to make the ropes needed for the project, and some began to prepare food for the big guys. The old people and children also picked what they could to do, while the strong laborers worked hard to dig the foundation. Fifty or sixty thousand people from the top and bottom of the Hechi Ti Department devoted themselves to this project, and everyone had his place and made a living, and no one was lazy.

Standing on a high place, Bourhan sighed that the ancients did not have as many flowers and intestines as modern people! I don't know if this is progress or regression?

When he came to inspect the project, Lu Xiang, as the foreman, naturally wanted to accompany him. Looking at the slaves beneath the foundation, the pickaxe flew up and down, and large chunks of earth were loosened and loaded into baskets to be transported. The Tengger grassland is a typical savanna, and the sandy soil here is the most suitable for excavation, so the foundation of the main city of Zini Nao must reach at least six meters deep. The amount of work is very large, but it seems that it is difficult for the Chiti people, and Burhan has come every day since the start of the project, and this project is also the same every day.

"It's okay!"

When Burhan said this, he affirmed his work, Lu Xiang is now a real contractor, and he is responsible for coordinating all the big and small projects of the Hechi Ti Department, and he is happy to do so. "Yes! The slaves are all tireless, working hard, no longer lazy, and better managed. ”

This is true, otherwise tens of thousands of slaves would not have been able to be so lenient with the Chenas Guards alone.

Kali smacked her lips next to her and said, "Come on! It's still good for the conditions offered by Childe! ”

In order to allow the slaves to adapt to the general environment of the Hechiti Department as soon as possible, and also to speed up the construction progress, Burhan promised that after the completion of the Purple Ni Nao, most of the slaves can be freed, and some people can even reorganize their families to obtain herds.

The Hechiti Division is already preparing for the follow-up battle, and it is bound to wrap the Hechiti Division into a hedgehog. On the other hand, Liu Dingchen and Wu Rizhao set off almost at the same time, one was to persuade Lin Dan Khan to send troops to intervene, and the other was to go to Erek to pretend, so Liu Dingchen was fast, while Wu Rizhao was riding an old camel, slowly and leisurely, while tasting the wine, while enjoying the grassland scenery, so uncomfortable?

Since Liu Dingchen and his entourage left the Hechiti Division, they went all the way to the east, and it took ten full days to arrive at the location of the royal city of Chahar Mongolian Lin Dan Khan, Vazar Tucha Han City (now Chifeng), and then met directly with Lin Dan Khan, who is known as the last Mongolian Great Khan.

"Liu Dingchen, the envoy of the Hechiti Department, visited the king of Chahar, Hutuketu Khan (the Khan of Lin Dan Khan)." Kneeling on one knee with your right hand over your chest is probably the most solemn ritual among the Mongolian tribes.

Lin Dan Khan raised his eyes and saw that it was a Han Chinese, but he was relieved to hear that it was from the Hechi Ti Department. In the world of the Mongols, it is a place where filth can be hidden, and any prisoners, freemen, bankrupt herdsmen, robbers, and horse thieves will accept them as long as they are willing to join the Hechi Ti Ministry, but to everyone's surprise, these people have lived very well later, and they are simply envious of others.

"Huh! The envoy of the Hechiti tribe, said that he came to visit Ben Khan, and he wouldn't bring nothing, right? ”

Liu Dingchen looked at the man in front of him, with a sturdy body, and his clear eyes revealed shrewdness and ability everywhere. He beckoned his men to bring a cowhide bag and said:

"The foreign minister specially brought some mare's milk wine from the Hechi Ti Department for the Great Khan to taste!"

Lin Danhan took the wine bag, raised his head and drank two sips, and shouted refreshingly! "What wine! Ben Khan also drank a lot of fine wine made by Han Chinese, but he always felt that there was something shortcoming. It turns out that the mare's milk wine in the depths of my memory is the most suitable wine for our Mongolians! Not bad! I have long heard that the mare's milk wine of Hechi Tibu is both mellow and sweet! Taste it too. As he spoke, he handed the wine bag to the nobles seated, and everyone divided it up under the expectant gaze.

Lin Dan Khan is worthy of being the Great Khan of Mongolia, and the means of winning people's hearts are often inadvertent. This shrewdness made Liu Dingchen even more convinced of the success of this trip!

"The Great Khan doesn't have to be like this! The foreign minister came this time and brought enough fine mare's milk wine! Sweat profusely enough to drink for a few years. ”

"Oh?" Lin Dan Khan was overjoyed at first, and then asked with a straight face: "The envoy brought so much mare's milk wine to Ben Khan, I'm afraid it's not just here to pay a visit, right?" ”

Although mare's milk wine is not a precious thing, it is still a rare thing for the Eastern Mongolian tribes. Bringing in so much wine at once is not so easy to think about.

When Lin Danhan asked, Liu Dingchen immediately covered his face, squeezed out a few tears, wiped them with his sleeves, and said in a stalk, "Great sweat!" The Great Khan of the Tushetu tribe Erek was also a good winemaker, and he intended to annex our tribe in order to enjoy the mare's milk wine of the Hechiti tribe for himself, and the chief of Alett sent his ministers to bring you a few years before he did. If you want to drink this sweet mare's milk wine in the future, you will have to look at the face of the Great Khan of Erek! ”

"Bang!" As soon as Liu Dingchen's words fell, he heard the sound of the porcelain bowl breaking, and he was happy in his heart! If he made Lin Dan Khan angry just for the sake of a little mare's milk wine, then he was not worthy to be the Great Khan of Mongolia. He was angry because of Liu Dingchen's name for Erek, although it was an undeniable fact that the Mongol chiefs attached the title of Khan. Especially with the rise of the Yellow Sect, the major lamas arbitrarily canonized the Khan title, and some of them even had a Khan name bigger than his, Hutu Ketu Khan. However, with the continuous infighting of the Golden Family, the Chahar Mongols' ability to control the tribes is not as good as before, so they can only let such things develop.

Lin Dan Khan snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! Erek? Is he worthy of being called Great Khan? ”

Liu Dingchen raised his eyes to look at Lin Dan Khan, and then added firewood and said, "That's it!" Sweat! Who are you? You are a descendant of Dayan Khan's long branch, the Great Khan of the Chahar Tribe! He is the Great Khan of this Mongolia! But that Erek doesn't take you seriously at all, claiming to be the Khan of Morgen, the Great Khan of the Tushetu Khan, the overlord of the Khalkha Mongols... Still...? ”

Liu Dingchen controlled the rhythm, but listened to Lin Dan Khan panting and saying angrily, "Enough!" "Lin Dan Khan has been the Great Khan of Mongolia for so many years, how can he not know that this is Liu Dingchen's plan to sow discord? He tried to ease his emotions, stared at Liu Dingchen with sharp eyes, and said, "Say it!" Let Ben sweat out, this little mare's milk wine is not enough! ”

The nobles on the side had long been unable to listen to it, seeing that the Great Khan had made up his mind and was about to persuade but was stopped by Lin Dan Khan, the majesty of his Great Khan had absolute prestige in this Chahar, and his subordinates were not allowed to exceed half a point.

Previously, Liu Dingchen was sweating all over his forehead, but now that Lin Danhan said this, he was calm. I saw Liu Dingchen wave his hand, and the attendants outside brought up a few large wooden boxes, and when the wooden boxes were opened, Lin Danhan couldn't help but be surprised, "Ming army armor?" ”

"Exactly! I know that the Great Khan is rearming for war, so I specially prepared 300 pairs of armor, hoping that the Great Khan will accept it! Seeing that Lin Dan Khan was unmoved, Liu Dingchen continued, "Another! I am the main Khan of the Chiti tribe, and every year I pay tribute to thousands of horses, cattle and sheep. ”

At this moment, Lin Dan Khan was already moved, not for the horses, cattle and sheep, but also for the three hundred pairs of armor. The rise of the Jurchens in recent years is not because they have Li Chengliang secretly funded? There are many armors in the army, so the Mongols and the Jurchens have not been able to gain the upper hand in the competition, and now there are hundreds of armors, although they may not be of great use, but as long as there are 300 pairs, there will be 3,000 pairs.

Although he was already excited, he still had to pretend to be a messenger, and Lin Dan Khan said, "Hechiti envoy! You go down and rest, this matter is very important, and I can't be the master alone. ”

Liu Dingchen had seen Alert handle government affairs, and thought that the Mongolian tribes were like this, so he retired.

After Liu Dingchen left, a nobleman stood up and said, "Great Khan! Do you really want to help the Hechi Ti tribe? They're clearly sowing discord! ”

Lin Dan Khan waved his hand and said, "Do you think this Khan is just for those years of tribute?" My Chahar has always ruled the Mongol tribes as a royal descendant, but the Transkharks of Erek have always refused to submit to our rule, so this time it is necessary to give them some color! ”

Since the succession of Lin Dan Khan, he has tried his best to maintain the rule of Chahar over Mongolia, and even spent a lot of money to build Chahanhot in order to establish his prestige, but so far Transkhalkha, as well as the old-fashioned Tumut tribe still do not obey discipline, this war against Tushetu Khan is not a good opportunity to show the bones?

Liu Dingchen stayed in Chahanhot for a few more days before he received a positive reply from Lin Dan Khan, and his mood slowly relaxed, while Wu Rizhaoke, who was in charge of the envoy to Tushetu Khan's department, was not in such a good mood.

When he rode the old camel to the Tushetu Khan Department of Hanerduo, it had been more than half a month, and when he met Erek, the first thing he was asked was "Wu Rizhao!" Where's your home in Burhan? Why didn't you come with me? ”

Wu Rizhao replied, "I have not come here to take Burhan as a hostage, but to implore the Great Khan to allow Burhan to stay with his mother and fulfill his filial piety." ”

Khalkani had expected him to say this, and it seems that the importance of Burhan to the Hechiti tribe is evident. He scoffed, "Haha! It is a Mongolian tradition to go to the father-in-law's house to work to repay the labor. Burhan is no longer young, why is he still reluctant to mother? Is it because you can't breastfeed? ”

"Haha!" In the face of the cynicism of the nobles of the Tushetu tribe, Wu Rizhao responded, "Hmph! Is it a shame to be able to eat a mouthful of mother's milk? I have never seen my mother, I grew up drinking goat's milk, if I have the opportunity to eat a mouthful of my mother's milk, how happy it is, unlike some people who want to watch the separation of mother and child and enjoy themselves, is this what a great khan who is a descendant of Dayan Khan and presides over the Mongolian order can do? ”

Although Wu Rizhao said it vaguely, he also clearly expressed his surrender. His call made Erek a little ashamed, and Burhan was only a child no matter what he said, and he was only 12 years old this year. He himself values his mother very much, and naturally knows the pain of a mother losing her child.

If this matter is not for Khalkani, he just wants to collect some annual tribute, and he may leave behind troubles. Erek has been shaken to make people accountable as hostagesIn the Mongol tradition, only the subordinates take the initiative and not ask for it, which fundamentally establishes the motivation contained in this system. If the Hechi Ti tribe really doesn't want to, then why force it?

However, Khalkani held on, and he tried his best to say, "Since Burhan can't do without his mother, let the women of Alet come with them!" If his other two sons are also inseparable from their mother, then it is better to bring them with them, and most of the people of my Tushetu Khan feed a million people, and there is no shortage of food for their mothers. ”

Karkani had gone a little too far, and most of the nobles who had been very supportive of him frowned. It is already a taboo to let the wife of a leader enter someone else's territory, unless it is to return to her mother's home. He has already touched the bottom line of the hearts of the Mongols, and this bottom line has no tribal distinction. Maybe it was because Khalkani had no experience of marrying a wife, or maybe he was empty-sighted that as long as he proposed it, it would be followed.

The atmosphere in the tent began to be solemn, and the eyes of the nobles sitting there changed, especially the right-wing nobles who opposed the left-wing army, and they were relatives of Erek who were very disgusted with such a style of Khalkani. Just as they were about to attack Khalkany, an attendant hurriedly rushed into the big tent and handed over a secret letter to Erek, and Wu Rizhao had a feeling that Liu Dingchen had succeeded.

Really! The expression on Erek's face after seeing it was first shocked and then angry, and then he closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, calmed his heart and said, "Since Burhan has filial piety, and Ben Khan is not easy to stop, let him be a filial son!" But how should you make amends? ”

Wu Rizhao was overjoyed in his heart, it seemed that he had guessed correctly, and he didn't wait for Khalkani to speak, and he took the first step to reply, "Great Khan!" Your mercy will be preached; Your tolerance will be remembered. If you call the chief, we will compensate for it, how about you see a thousand horses, ten thousand cattle and sheep, and ten boxes of rare treasures? ”

"No way!" Khalkani's words sounded out at an inopportune time, and it was extremely impolite to interrupt the conversation between the Great Khan and the envoy, and Erek said in an aggravated tone, "Khalkany! You should go back to your post as soon as possible, you have been derelict in your duty as a general. Then he threw him the secret letter.

And at this time, there is no need for Erek to nod, Wu Rizhao slowly retreated, he needs to bring this good news home as soon as possible, and at the same time, he is afraid of long nights and dreams.

Khalkani, who had read the secret letter, said: "Great Khan! Just let him go? This must be a ghost secretly played by the Hechiti people, where did such a coincidental thing come from in the world? Besides, this reason is too child's play, isn't it? Chahar lost a lamb and sent tens of thousands of troops to find it? ”

Erek just glanced at him, and said in his heart: Isn't all this caused by you? Who made you covet the Chiti tribe? Who told you to put Burhan to death? Who made you so strong that the Chahar tribe wanted to get rid of you quickly?

"Khalkani! It's too late to say anything, we have a battle with Chahar, but we didn't expect it to be such a child's play. Until the winner is decided, I hope to maintain the status quo. ”

This shows Erek's attitude, and Khalkani has no leisure to pay attention to this matter anymore, because the Chahar invasion will bear the brunt of the left wing of the Tushetu Department under his jurisdiction, and if the left wing suffers heavy losses as a result, then his previous layout advantage will be lost!
