Chapter 43 Each has a different heart
Bu Lost Rabbit Khan couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart when he heard this, originally with the thousands of people and horses under him, if he wanted to get Lin Dan Khan's inheritance from the hands of the Ming Kingdom, it would be a dream, since that Lord Lu was weak-hearted, it would be easy to say, anyway, the people of the Ming Kingdom couldn't tell which people and horses were Gushi Khan's, and which ones were their own, maybe they could fake some benefits. Thinking of this, Bu Lost Rabbit Khan glanced at Erji, and secretly thought that it was better to hide this matter, they had an uncle of the general army of the Ming Kingdom, and they had gained so many benefits, but they were afraid that they would not have the same heart as themselves.
Thinking of this, Bu Lost Rabbit Khan didn't say a word, and in the dead of night, he changed his clothes, and brought two henchmen to Gushi Khan's residence, asking for a meeting. Soon, he was led to a luxurious tent, and he saw that Gushi Khan was wearing a fur coat and his hair was already draped over his shoulders, and he was obviously bedridden.
"What's the matter?"
"Hmm!" Bu Lost Rabbit Khan's eyes swept through the tent, and he saw that there were copper charcoal stoves in the four corners, armor, bows and arrows, and weapons on the wooden shelves next to the door, and the couch was full of furs, and long black hair was exposed under the bulging furs. Gu Shi Khan saw Bu Lost Rabbit Khan's gaze, smiled, turned around and shouted twice on the bed, and a fair-skinned woman got up from the bed, wrapped in a fur fur and ran out with her head down.
"You'd better have something important to disturb my interest at such a late hour, or I won't be able to let you go!" Gu Shi Khan walked to the bed, picked up two cups, poured a glass of mare's milk wine for himself and Bu Lost Rabbit Khan, and said in a half-joking, half-formal tone.
"That's nature!" Bu Lost Rabbit Khan smiled: "And it is a very important matter of great benefit. β
"Great benefit?" Gu Shi Khan looked at Bu Lost Rabbit suspiciously, he didn't think that the other party could give him any benefits.
"Great Khan, don't you think that Erut got too much?"
"Are you jealous?" Gu Shi Khan laughed: "What's the way, this is someone's aunt's filial piety to his father-in-law, who told you that I didn't give birth to such a good daughter." β
Bu Lost Rabbit Khan smiled: "I mean Ming Kingdom gave us too little. β
"Ming Kingdom gave us too little?" Gu Shi Khan laughed: "You are too greedy, you must know that Lin Dan Khan was defeated by the Ming army." For example, a hunter shot a wild boar, you and I were passing by, and we should be content if they shared one of our hind legs. β
"No, Great Khan. Didn't you just listen to Guru Chesang? Although the Ming Kingdom defeated Lin Dan Khan, it also suffered heavy casualties. β
"You want to go to war with the Ming Kingdom?" Gu Shihan sneered: "Then whatever you want, I'll go back tomorrow, you can do it yourself!" After saying that, he stood up, looking like he had given an order to evict the guests, Gushi Khan's territory was thousands of miles away, and he had made a lot of profits in trade with the Ming Kingdom, how could he do such a stupid thing for Bu Lost Rabbit Khan.
Bu Lost Rabbit Khan sat still and said with a smile: "How do I want to start a war with the Ming Kingdom." The revival of the Tumut Ministry is still counting on the reward of the Ming Kingdom. β
"And what do you want to do?"
"Great Khan, you have traveled thousands of miles, don't you want the Ming Kingdom to give you more rewards? Since the Ming army suffered heavy losses, the governor must be willing to spend more tea, silk cloth and silver to eliminate the disaster! β
Hearing this, Gushi Khan had already understood six or seven points, and asked in a low voice, "Are you trying to blackmail by force?" β
"How so?" Bu Lost Rabbit Khan said with a smile: "Aren't they Ming people boasting of the heavens \ the kingdom of the heavens? We, the herdsmen on the grassland, lack food and clothing, so it's not too much to ask for some salt, tea, and cloth, right? They give sooner, and we disperse sooner. Isn't it beautiful? β
Gu Shi Khan thought about it, and this strategy of Bu Lost Rabbit was beneficial and harmless to himself. Anyway, he is thousands of miles away from the Ming Kingdom, and he doesn't have to worry about the Ming Kingdom sending troops to retaliate against him, and all of this is under the banner of Bu Lost Rabbit, even if he really makes trouble in the future, he can at most shirk it. So he nodded and asked, "How will the money and food be distributed?" β
"All to the Great Khan. I don't want anything. β
Gu Shi Khan was stunned when he heard this, but he was also an old man, and after a little thought, he found the answer to the riddle, and sneered: "Are you the idea of fighting those subordinates who were captured by the Ming army?" You want the governor to hand them over to you? β
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from the Great Khan!" Bu Lost Rabbit Khan smiled: "If this can be done, my Tumut tribe has been an ally of the Great Khan for generations. β
At the same time as Bu Lost Rabbit visited Gushi Khan at night. A night conversation also took place between two other people, one of whom was Erji and the other was Chesan.
"Master, is this letter really from my family, Min Min Beji?" Erji looked up, surprise on his face that could not be concealed.
"General Erji, why do you ask that?" Chesang smiled: "Didn't Min Min Beji agree with Batur Khan before parting with any special secret notes, drawings or something?" β
"Huh!" Erji smiled, concealed his embarrassment, and asked solemnly, "Master, why are you on the side of the Ming people this time?" Help them deal with the Lost Rabbit Khan? β
"No, I've never been on Mingguo's side." Chessan shook his head.
"Which side are you on?" Erji's expression became more and more serious: "Master, even if this is Min Min Beji's handwritten letter, I may not be able to follow it, and the blood of the Dzungar people will not be shed in vain for the Han people." β
"I'm on the side of General Liu, I'm on the side of Batur Khan, I'm on the side of the Mongols, I'm on the side of my Buddha!"
Erji's brows furrowed, and then he smiled bitterly: "Master, I'm afraid I can't understand what you mean, isn't that General Liu the general of the Ming Kingdom?" What's the difference between you being on his side and Ming Guo's side? β
"Nature is different!" Chesang smiled: "Let me ask you, what did the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom want most about the Mongols on the steppe for hundreds of years?" β
"Emperor Ming?" Erji thought for a moment, then replied: "The Han emperor naturally hopes that we Mongols will kill each other, and the dragons will be leaderless, so he can naturally sit back and relax." β
"Not bad!" Chesang nodded: "Sending troops to fight will cost you soldiers and horses, and you will waste money and food, but we Mongols can fight each other, but we can achieve our goal without losing a single soldier." You said that if Liu Zongbing's position was really the same as that of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, why did he need to kill the Lost Rabbit Khan? This guy is obviously a natural wedge. The treasure of the Ming court! β
When Erji heard this, he already understood what Chesan meant. As Cesan said, Lin Dan Khan died at the hands of Bu Chuan Tu Khan, and there was a feud between the right wing of the Tumut tribe and the left wing of the Chahar tribe, and this hatred often lasted for decades or even centuries in the steppe, until one of them was completely wiped out. For Mingguo. The most advantageous option is to sit back and watch the tiger fight, maintain the balance of power between the two sides, and let this vendetta last as long as possible. But if Bu Lostu Khan is killed, it will be equivalent to avenging Lin Dan Khan, but it will relieve the hatred between the left and right wings, which is naturally what the emperor and ministers of the Ming Kingdom do not want to see.
"Then why does General Liu want to kill Bu Lost Rabbit Khan?"
"Because he wants to dominate the left and right wings himself!"
"Dominate the left and right wings yourself?" Erji almost burst out laughing, but he looked at Lama Chesang to make sure that the other party was not joking, and then asked in surprise, "How is this possible?" He did not have any noble blood. Or a Han Chinese, why do you dominate the left and right wings? β
"Then I don't know." Chesang smiled: "But as far as I know, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty was a farmer, a monk, and a beggar, and his ancestor was just a humble farmer, but in the end, he drove the Great Yuan Emperor out of Beijing and established a great cause, not those with noble blood." Perhaps among the Han people, great things can be created without noble blood! β
"But that's Han, not us Mongolians!" Erji's voice became louder: "Master. You and I have the blood of the Golden Family in our bodies, and we are the descendants of Genghis Khanβ"
"Yes. But whose blood did Temujin have in him? Chesan interrupted Erji's words: "Yes, it should be soon, it's my baby, it's Hebule." Indeed, they are all brave and strong men, but there are too many brave and strong men, do you know who Wang Han's ancestors are? Who were the ancestors of Zamuhe? If it weren't for the emergence of such great figures as Temujin in their descendants, who would have remembered their names hundreds of years from now? Who would be proud to have a pound of blood flowing in their bodies? β
Listened to Chesan's words. Erji was silent for a while, and then asked in a low voice, "Master, what do you mean?" β
"Quite simply, it is great deeds that ennoble a name, and not a noble name that makes you great. If Liu Zongbing could really lead the Mongols to great feats like Temujin. Naturally, the Mongols will kneel before him and sing his name, loyal to his children and grandchildren, just as the Mongols are now to us. β
"To do great deeds like Temujin?" Erji suddenly laughed: "How is this possible, Temujin led the Mongols to conquer half the world, how could that Liu Zongbing do it?" He's a Han! β
"How is that impossible, there are many Mongols under his command, and they have made great contributions in the battle to destroy Lin Dan Khan! There were also many Mongols in the army of the Ming Emperor, and there were countless warriors among our Mongols, but none of them had a leader who could make them fight under a big banner, wasting their blood in cannibalism. Hundreds of years ago, the warriors of the Khitans, the White Turks, the Blue Turks, the Han Chinese, and the Russians could fight under the banner of Genghis Khan, why can't the warriors of the Mongols fight under the banner of a Han leader today? As long as the leader is fair and strict and can bring them victory, the warriors will not care who the leader is. β
"Okay!" Erji shook his head: "That Liu Zongbing must have used some kind of spell on you, otherwise how could you have been speaking for him all the time." But what does this have to do with Batur Khan? What does it have to do with your Dharma? β
"Erji, let me ask you a question, is it possible for Batur Khan to dominate the steppe?"
Erji opened his mouth, but did not speak, and finally shook his head reluctantly, the Zungar tribe of the Erut people, who were born in the "tribe of the forest", has always been an outlier in the eyes of the Mobei Mongols and Monan Mongols ruled by the descendants of the Golden Family, and the possibility of wanting to dominate the steppe is very small.
"Since Batur Khan can't unify the steppe, wouldn't it be a good choice to let his son-in-law rule the left and right wings? At least he can concentrate on dealing with the Kazakhs, the Yarkand Khanate, and the Russians. β
"But I came from afar this time, and I only have a thousand cavalry." Erji had almost been persuaded by Chesan: "Gushi Khan is the big reinforcement of Bu Lost Rabbit, you know, he is very enthusiastic about supporting Bu Lost Rabbit Khan." β
Chesan laughed: "That's right, but Gushi Khan is a smart man, a smart person will not be willing to support a dead man, you don't have to do anything, just make a statement at a critical time." β
"Statement? That's easy! Erji laughed: "Anyway, this Liu Zongbing is the son-in-law of our Jungger people!" β
The next morning, when Wang Anshi returned to the tents of the Mongol chiefs, he noticed a subtle change in the atmosphere in the tent, and the Bu Lost Rabbit Khan, who had also been quite deferential yesterday, became arrogant, and he demanded very resolutely, or rather brutally, that the Ming minister return to him the tribes that had belonged to the right wing, and in addition to this, he also demanded that half of the tribes that had belonged to the left wing be divided among him - on the grounds that Lin Dan Khan had caused him damages. When Wang Anshi objected to this, Bu Lost Rabbit Khan even arrogantly declared that if Ming Guo refused his request, he would use his own hands to take back what belonged to him. Wang understood it as a threat of force.
"Gushi Khan, General Erji!" Wang Anshi turned his gaze to the other two, and he wanted to judge from the reactions of these two people whether this was the adventure of Bu Lost Rabbit Khan alone, or if he had already received the support of these two people. What made Wang Anshi a little disappointed was that both Gushi Khan and Erji turned their heads away, and he could only understand that these two people at least did not oppose Bu Lost Rabbit Khan's decision.
"Great Khan!" Wang Anshi owed his body to Bu Lost Rabbit Khan: "I will convey your request to the governor below." β
"Good!" Bu Lost Rabbit nodded reservedly: "But be fast, otherwise my patience is not so good!" β
Wang Anshi tried his best to suppress the resentment in his chest, got up to say goodbye to the Khan kings in the tent, and withdrew from the tent. He smiled at him reluctantly, "Master, is there anything wrong with you?" β
"I want to ask you to bring a message to Min Min Beji, just say that she has done something to General Erji, and there is no need to worry." (To be continued.) )
