Chapter Seventy-Eight: Returning
Some time passed, and the court finally sent a letter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info Cui Jingrong, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, is the minister of the Imperial Mission, and is responsible for the full transaction with the Hechi Ti Department. Cui Jingrong also wanted to meet this young Khan of the Hechi Ti Department to see what kind of person he was. Intuition told him that this person was either a strategist or a brilliant man himself, so he could assess his influence on Daming, whether it was worth listing him separately from the Ministry of War, but unfortunately he was still late. Cui Jingrong is a civil official, he can't be like a messenger to travel day and night, even if it is a light car, it took more than half a month, at this time Burhan has already left, because Liu Dingchen returned from the mission.
As soon as Burhan and his men and horses entered the territory of the Hechi Ti Division, a ranger reported to Zi Nai, and when there were still more than ten miles away from Zi Nai, Chi Nasi was already waiting there.
Seeing the brigade of Burhan, Zaduro happily urged the war horse to come to Burhan, "Phew! "Big brother, you're back. He couldn't hide his joy, but Burhan didn't bring him anything to eat because he was in a hurry.
"Hmmm! Is all right in the tribe? "Burhan fears that Zaduro is so eager to find out if something has happened to his clan.
"Everything is in order! It's just that grandma and sister-in-law are worried about it. Sisters-in-law are okay, you estimate that it will take a little more effort on Grandma's side. ”
"Hmmm! Of course I know that. Bulhan couldn't help but start worrying, his mother was not so easy to deal with.
"That's right, big brother!" Zaduro then said, "Do you know that the Divine Ministers have sent the Tushetu Khan to return? I heard that Erek gave him a lot of rewards, and everyone who went on this mission had a lot to gain! ”
"Hmmm! This matter is mentioned in Aditya's letters, let's go back together. Drive! ...”
The red dust was rolling, and Burhan and his entourage arrived at the royal city of Hechiti - Purple Mud! The officials and nobles stationed in the royal city greeted them at the city gate, and Liu Dingchen, the default left minister of Burhan, was also among them. As soon as Burhan got off the horse, Liu Dingchen couldn't wait to step forward and see: "How is the Great Khan doing recently?" ”
Who knew that Burhan said casually with a straight face: "Not good! "Suddenly the atmosphere of the whole scene dropped to freezing point." Don't stand, hall discussions! Hearing Burhan say this, Liu Dingchen and Aditya smiled at each other, and walked towards the tribal council hall with Burhan in their arms.
As soon as Burhan entered the hall, he walked to the throne very domineeringly, and sat down slowly with a wave of the big man behind him, which was full of style and very domineering. With his hands on his knees, he leaned forward slightly, looking at the ministers silently.
Liu Dingchen knew that it was time for him to play, so he knelt down on one knee and put his right hand on his chest and said, "Great Khan!" Minister Liu Dingchen sent an envoy to the Tushetu Khan Department, fortunately returned without disgrace, and came to repay his life to the Great Khan! ”
"O god! This time the envoy Ben Khan thought that you would come back in a month at most, but he didn't expect that this trip would be more than two months. Fortunately, you are back, otherwise Ben Khan would have thought that the unscrupulous Erek had taken you hostage! ”
Liu Dingchen smiled: "Haha! Let the Great Khan worry about his ministers, what a sin it is for his ministers! However, it really made the Great Khan guess correctly, if it wasn't for the proper operation of the micro-ministers, the Great Khan might have received the head of his subordinates at this time. ”
"Oh?" Burhan was a little unconvinced, but saw that Sabebeli nodded. "Quick! Come on, Ben Khan wants to hear what Erek has to say to you? ”
Burhan is interested, Liu Dingchen himself is running the rivers and lakes, adding oil and vinegar is not a strong point? He told him everything he had done in the Tushetu Khan Department.
“...... In this way, when Erek left, he also gave his ministers a pearl as compensation. His son Gunbu later approached the minister, hoping that he would be his aide, but he was rejected by the minister because he was thinking of the Great Khan..."
"Haha!" After listening to Liu Dingchen's wonderful story, Burhan couldn't help laughing, "Haha! Erek is too stingy, isn't he? God and he have the grace of life, so he gave you a pearl? Just this Hu Pearl also wants you to stay in the Tushetu Khan Department to teach his unsuccessful son? If it were me, I would have asked for nothing I wanted! ”
Burhan's words made Liu Dingchen roll his eyes! I thought to myself: If you don't even give these things! Since Liu Dingchen came to the Hechi Ti Department, he has never received a fortune, although there are often rewards, but there has never been gold or silver, and Burhan is really enough to pick the door. So he provoked him with words
"Erek asked his ministers to stay in the Tushetu Khan Department to give him the post of Jinong, if it weren't for the minister's heart of the Great Khan's good to the ministers, and the Great Khan and the ministers were gracious, he would have agreed to him."
Liu Dingchen interrupted him before he could finish speaking. "You dare?" The ministers were stunned, Burhan had never lost his temper like this! Many people who watched Liu Dingchen's jokes began to prepare to fall into the ground. Liu Dingchen has always been proud of his talents, is this okay? No ruler wants his people to have two hearts, let alone a person like Liu Dingchen who is regarded as a humerus arm?
But to their disappointment, Burhan first straightened up, and then said with a hippie smile, "Hey! Look at your little bit of talent, one Jinong can make you defect? Isn't your status in the Hechiti Department much lower than that of Jinong? You probably don't know what is written on that gold medal, right? ”
Speaking of the gold medal, Liu Dingchen quickly took it out of the cuff of his shirt, carefully flipped through it, looked at it again, and said, "Great sweat!" The front of this gold medal can be seen clearly, but the back minister does not understand. How? What is the special meaning in it? ”
Liu Dingchen thought that this gold medal was created by Burhan to show his identity, and there was no special meaning. After the end of the mission, he was to hand over to Burhan, so he simply took out the small banner and the scepter.
Burhan smiled and said, "It seems that you really don't understand! Let Aditya tell you about it. ”
Aditya commanded, "Hehe! Old folk! This gold medal was specially commissioned by the Great Khan, with your name engraved in Chinese characters on the front and your name on the back, which is engraved in the Golden Mongolian script, that is, the Phags-Pa script. The status of this Ba Si Pa script is equivalent to the regular script in Chinese characters, which is only circulated in the official documents of the Mengyuan and Yuan dynasties, and it is normal that you don't know it. The above Ba Si Pa Wen means 'Zuo Prime Minister Liu', you should understand the intention of the Great Khan, right? ”
"It's... This..."Liu Dingchen was really a little surprised, he didn't expect that Burhan would actually crown him as the prime minister of Zuo. Liu Dingchen didn't know whether to be happy or worried? is happy because his current status can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, and he is worried that since this Burhan has crowned himself as the prime minister of Zuo, it means that he already has the ambition of dominating the world in his heart. With the ability of Burhan, the talent of Aditya, and the large and small aristocratic generals of the Hechi Ti Department, I am afraid that the future will be a nightmare for the Central Plains Dynasty.
I saw Burhan step down from the throne and say with pride, "What is a prime minister of Zuo?" In the future, I want to dominate the steppe and return to the glory of the era of Genghis Khan. To tell you the truth, after Ben Khan plans to capture the set of departments, he will follow the example of the Central Plains Dynasty to set up three public departments and six departments and nine secretaries. ”
I have to say that Burhan's words are very infectious, especially the new nobles and the nobles of the former Turghut tribe are very excited. It turned out that although they were also nobles in the Turghut tribe, it was a tribal situation after all. But now that Burhan wants to emulate the Central Plains Dynasty, it means that Burhan will be called Khan in the future, so aren't they the founding merits? It's not that different in essence, but it's different. When others ask you what kind of person you are, you say that the minister of the Turghat Ministry and the Minister of the Chiti Khanate, the effect is worlds apart, and it also seems more noble.
"The ministers will bow down and die!" Okay! This trumpet is shouted to have a fight with later film and television works, but Burhan likes it.
He took a glass of mare's milk wine and said, "Come, gentlemen, drink this cup with me!" Come and drink...! ”
There was wine on the small tables of each nobleman, and for a time the whole hall was filled with the mellow smell of mare's milk wine. "Drink! ...”
"Hahaha! That's the joy! Burhan put down his glass, returned to his throne and said, "I almost missed a big thing!" Divine Appearance, how did you do with your envoy to the Tushetu Khan Division? ”
"Great Khan! The alliance with the Tushetu Khan was basically in order. Although the Tushetu Khan has a great appetite, it is also within our control. They only need 100,000 stone of food, and they also need our department to help them seize the pastures of the Ula Mountain, while the Tushetu Khan department is only responsible for the border of the troops and does not participate in the operation of attacking the Taobu. ”
Burhan pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm! ... 100,000 stone grain seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is also within the scope of our ministry, this time Ben Khan went to Ningxia Town to negotiate a deal of 200,000 stone with Liu Xing, the town guard of Ningxia, and the Ming court has replied, and also sent the military department to act as the head of the military department, Cui Jingrong, who is fully responsible, so the food is not a problem. As for sending troops! Originally, it was not expected that the Tushetu Khan would be able to send troops, and their little force was insufficient to attack and more than defend. Even if it is a great help if it is not completely wiped out by the Tumut Forces, how can you want them to help? ”
Burhan was telling the truth, and the ministers began to make fun of the Tushetu Khan. "What? Didn't the gods count Kobdo in it? ”
Kobdo's transfer to Tushetu Khan is the most critical step in Burhan's next grand strategy, and if this great opportunity is lost, it is difficult to say what will happen in the future.
Liu Dingchen said solemnly: "How could the ministers forget the things that the Great Khan explained? The Khalkani of the Tushetu Khan Department had a great plan, not only wanted these but also wanted to get my Hetao for nothing, and the minister could only exchange it with Kobdo, and finally the Khalkani agreed to this suggestion, but the minister did not agree to him at that time, saying that he could not be the master and the Great Khan himself needed to decide. ”
almost scared Borkand to death, and it was a lot more reassuring to hear Liu Dingchen say this. "Hmmm! The god is doing the right thing, if you agree to him easily, it will seem that I have set up a situation with the Chi Ti Department, so it is good to hang his appetite, the more you are like this, the more he wants to get it. ”
Liu Dingchen also thinks so. At first, he was worried that the Turk nobles might resist, but he didn't expect that everyone agreed today, and he couldn't help but be impressed by Burhan's ability to rule the tribe. In fact, where is the bitter cold land of Kobdo where the current Purple Muddy and Blackwater City are warm? As for nomadism, in the future, the center of the Hechiti tribe will definitely be moved to the Hetao, which is a rich land enough for the whole tribe to nomadize here.
In fact, the Hetao area has a more important role, since ancient times, the Hetao area has been the focus of contention between the grassland tribes and the Central Plains Dynasty, not only because it is close to the hinterland of the Central Plains, but also because it is suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry. As long as water conservancy is built and fertile land is cultivated, then this place will inevitably become a big granary of the Hechiti Department. In the future, the Hechi Ti tribe will not need to be subject to the grain of the Ming court, which is the ultimate goal of Burhan.
Burhan asked again: "Did the Tushetu Khan say when they would be able to assemble a large army?" "This is very important, and Burhan hopes to use troops against the army in the early spring of next year, when the tribes of mother animals will not be able to migrate easily, and they will be in a state of starvation. At this time, the use of troops can break the set of troops with lightning speed and minimize casualties. Before the Tumut Department could react, the Hechiti Department had become the master of the set.
Liu Dingchen said: "Great Khan! Both Erek and Khalkani said, "When the food of our Hechiti tribe arrives, when the army of Tushetu Khan's army will start to make trouble." As for Kobdo, the ministers shirked it, and secondly, Erek promised to wait for our department to occupy the set and hand it over. ”
Burhan thought for a long time and said, "This is not right! The reputation of the Tushetu Khan Department is outstanding, and although the 100,000 stone grain is nothing in the eyes of my Hechiti Department now, it is a pity to lose it. Such! I will repair the book to Erek, and when his army is stationed on the border, I will send the food of the Hechiti tribe directly to his camp. ”
Liu Dingchen Aditya and others also felt that it was safe for Burhan to do this, so they had no objections.
"Since everyone has no objections, so be it! If you want to come all the way back, it's better to rest early, and the celebration banquet will be waived, and you will make up for it when you take the set. ”
The ministers left, and Burhan walked home at a slow pace, thinking about how to settle his grandmother as he walked.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the door, I heard my grandmother scolding with a black face, "Burhan, do you still know to come back?" Burhan was stunned, what is the situation?
