Chapter 671: Noble Bloodline (1st Update)
"My lord, the maiden swore before the immortal heaven that she sincerely wanted to become the people of the Ming Dynasty, and if she had half a false word, she would like to be condemned by the immortal heaven." Seeing Li Yuntian looking her up and down, the girl thought that Li Yuntian didn't believe her, so she raised her hands to the sky and solemnly swore an oath.
"If this officer saves your mother, but your father and brother kill my Ming sergeant on the battlefield in the future, how do you let this officer explain to their parents?" Li Yuntian groaned for a moment when he heard this, and asked quietly, this is the key to the matter, how could he save the enemy's parents? At that time, how to face the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who fought bravely on the battlefield!
"My lord, the whole family of the people was captured outside Kaiyuan City last time, and the people can persuade their father and brother to join the Ming Dynasty, and what the adults said will not happen!" The girl hurriedly waved her hand to Li Yuntian and said categorically.
"Come with the officer." Li Yuntian's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, he didn't expect things to be so coincidental, the girl's family was actually captured by the people of the Liaodong Vermilion Bird Camp of the Xiaowu Army, which made him difficult, after thinking about it, he nodded to the girl, got up and went to the men's prison.
To tell the truth, the girl gave Li Yuntian a problem, if the girl and her family can belong to the Ming Dynasty, the girl's mother will have the qualifications to use that precious medicinal material, but according to the current situation, even if the girl's family is attached to the Ming Dynasty, it may be an expedient measure, and it is likely to rebel back to the camp of the Northern Yuan Dynasty afterwards, which makes Li Yuntian feel a little tricky, he actually doesn't want to take this risk, but as the dignified Zhenwu Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, how can he not believe it?
What's more, if the girl's family really belongs to the Ming Dynasty, then it will have a huge positive significance for recruiting Northern Yuan soldiers in the future.
Seeing this, the girl suddenly showed a look of surprise on her face, she originally thought that Li Yuntian would refuse to treat her mother, but she never expected that Li Yuntian's attitude seemed to be a little loose, so she quickly got up and followed, wiping her tears as she walked, and she was very worried in her heart.
"Write down your father's and brother's names." At the door of the men's prison area, Li Yuntian stopped, turned around and said to the girl who followed with his head down.
When the girl heard this, she first bowed to Li Yuntian, and then wrote down the names of her father and brother on a piece of paper, a string of hulala, there were as many as twenty or thirty.
"These are your family?" Li Yuntian glanced at the names on the paper, and couldn't help but feel a little curious, he didn't expect the girl to have so many brothers.
"Your Excellency, among these people are the cousins and cousins of the people's daughters." The girl bowed down and carefully explained to Li Yuntian.
Li Yuntian frowned slightly when he heard this, he was a little difficult to understand the girl's actions, it stands to reason that the more people the girl confesses, the smaller the chance of belonging to Daming, and there is no need for her to include her cousins and cousins.
"What's your name?" Unless...... Unless the girl is completely sure that those cousins and cousins will belong to Da Ming, thinking of this, Li Yuntian looked up at the girl and asked quietly.
"Nomin!" The girl replied with a bow.
"What's the last name?" Nuo Min means "jasper" in Mongolian, Li Yuntian bowed slightly, and asked seemingly casually.
"It's only a pound." Nomin hesitated for a moment, and whispered her last name.
"What's the matter?" Li Yuntian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at Nuo Min with some surprise, it seems that this girl really has some background, otherwise how could she speak such fluent Jingshi dialect?
Like the Manchu Qing Dynasty's "Aixin Jueluo", the people who could have the surname "εer Zhijin" in Mengyuan were all the royal family of Mengyuan, that is, the "Golden Family", which is commonly known as the "Golden Family", the descendants of Genghis Khan.
In the history of the Meng and Yuan dynasties, the people who served as emperors of the Yuan Dynasty were all from the Golden Family, to be precise, the youngest son of Genghis Khan and the descendants of Yuan Ruizong Torei.
Not only the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, but now the Great Khan of the Mongolian Tatar Department is a descendant of the Golden Family and the orthodox emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, while the Mongol Warat Department was formerly a Mobei Mongol tribe conquered by Genghis Khan, and is regarded as a "barbarian" compared with the Tatar Department, which is why the Uliang Ha Sanwei wanted to be close to the Tatar Taishi Arutai, in a sense, they were subjects of the Tatar Department.
Seeing that Li Yuntian's expression became a little strange, Nuo Min's heart suddenly became even more flustered, obviously she knew that her surname might cause her trouble, and she was not sure that Li Yuntian would take her and her brothers to parade through the streets to encourage the morale of the Ming army.
"Assemble the captives!" Li Yuntian noticed Nuo Min's frightened look, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said something to Gu Liyu on the side.
With Li Yuntian's order, the originally peaceful men's prison area suddenly boiled, and with the order of the guards, the leisurely and comfortable prisoners lined up in the courtyard according to their respective prison houses.
At the same time, a large number of heavily armed sergeants entered the prison area, and the surrounding walls were also filled with Xiaowu sergeants with crossbows, staring at the movement in the field with stern expressions.
The captives looked at the sergeants in the courtyard and on the fence with dismayed expressions, and whispered to each other, not knowing what was going on, and looking a little panicked.
"Silence!" Under the continuous reprimand of the guards, the scene gradually fell silent, and the captives waited anxiously for the progress of the situation.
Soon, under the watchful eyes of the captives, a group of sergeants surrounded Li Yuntian and Nuo Min into the gate of the courtyard, and climbed to a high platform on the south side of the courtyard, attracting everyone's attention from a high position.
"Listen, the relatives of the Dayan tribe Nomin stand up." Li Yuntian glanced around at the captives in front of the stage, and then nodded to a burly military attache standing in front of the stage, and the burly military attache then stretched out his hand and pointed at Nuo Min and said loudly to the captives in Mongolian.
There was an immediate commotion in the group of captives, and then twenty or thirty captives walked out and stood at the front of the captive team, looking at Li Yuntian and Nuo Min on the stage with expressionless faces.
The burly military attache waved his hand to the sergeants standing aside, and the sergeants stepped forward to verify the identities of the twenty or thirty captives.
"My lord, it has been verified that the identity of the relatives provided by Nomin is the same." Soon after, the burly military attache shouted to Li Yuntian.
"I'll give you a chance, if you can convince them to join my Da Ming and become my Da Ming's people, then this official will let the medical officer use that kind of medicinal herb to save your mother." Li Yuntian saw that Nuo Min was not lying, so he glanced at the twenty or thirty captives and said quietly.
"Lord Xie, the people will definitely convince them." Hearing this, Nuo Min couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly walked down the high platform, and was soon surrounded by the twenty or thirty captives.
"Xianggong, do you think she can convince those people to submit?" While Nuo Min was talking there with those captives in Mongolian, Lei Ting walked up to Li Yuntian's side and asked in a low voice, if the Mongolian tribes were easy to submit, Da Ming would have brought Wuliang Ha Sanwei under his command, not to mention the Dayan tribe with the blood of the Golden Family.
Nuomin's ancestor was the son of Torrey, and when Meng Yuan was driven out of Beijing by Ming Taizu, his grandfather was a 10,000-householder, and later established the Dayan Department, which was an important branch of the Tatar Department.
Twelve years ago, when Nomin's father was killed by the Tatar tribe and the Dayan tribe was annexed, Nomin's mother led a small group of people loyal to Nomin's father to move north to the edge of the desert, and raised Nomin's siblings through great hardships, and the Dayan tribe was reduced to a small tribe of less than 1,000 people.
This time, the Mongol Tatars, Warats, and Uliangha invaded Liaodong, and the men of the Dayan tribe where Nomin was located were also recruited, so the safety of the tribe could not be guaranteed, so the whole tribe followed in the footsteps of the Dayan men.
Originally, the Mongol army had an advantage in Liaodong, forcing the defenders of Liaodong to retreat in several important towns and not dare to engage them, so the commander of the Mongol army wanted to take the city of Kaiyuan and open the passage between Liaodong and Nuergandusi and the Korean Kingdom.
But who would have thought that the soldiers of the Liaodong Zhuque Battalion of the Xiaowu Army in Kaiyuan City were completely different from the Liaodong Ming Army, and their combat effectiveness was fierce, and they dared to attack the Mongolian army garrison at night, and the unsuspecting Mongolian army was taken by surprise, and retreated after a fierce battle.
Due to the chaotic situation, the people of the Nomin tribe did not have time to escape, and the soldiers of the Suzaku camp who were pursuing were blocked at the foot of a mountain, and in order to avoid the old and weak women and children in the tribe from being harmed, the men of the tribe put down their weapons and surrendered, and all of them were captured.
"Since she dared to propose to Xianggong to exchange this matter for medicinal materials to save her mother, there must be some way." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and replied softly, he felt that Nuo Min was very confident that her father and brothers would submit to the Ming Dynasty.
As he spoke, the situation in the arena changed, and Nomin was seen arguing with a tall and strong man, as if in a heated argument.
Li Yuntian looked at the scene in front of him with great interest, he had been learning Mongolian since he came back from Jiaozhi, and after two years of hard work, he had been able to converse in Mongolian.
However, because Nuomin and the sturdy man were talking too fast, and there were some dialects mixed in, he couldn't hear what the two were arguing about, but he knew that the sturdy man was against submitting to the Ming Dynasty, and Nuomin was arguing there.
After a fierce quarrel, the sturdy man gradually fell behind, then glanced at Li Yuntian, stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Yuntian's blushing neck and said something.
Nomin seemed to be taken aback, and then tried to persuade the strong man, but the sturdy man seemed to have made up his mind, which made Nomin's face full of disappointment and gloom.
"My lord, my eldest brother wants to compete with you, if you can win him, then he will lead the people to submit to the Ming Dynasty." After hesitating for a moment, Nuo Min came to Li Yuntian with heavy steps, and said in a solemn tone, his eyes were full of sadness, how could Li Yuntian, as a high-ranking official of the Ming army, compete with a captive?
"Oh?" Li Yuntian couldn't help but glance at the sturdy man when he heard this, and saw that the sturdy man was looking up at him, his eyes were full of provocative looks, as if he was very unconvinced.
"Bold, how noble my lord is, how can you captives offend?" At this time, Gu Liyu, who was standing aside, stretched out his hand and pointed at Nuo Min, and scolded loudly, Li Yuntian is not only the Zhenwu Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, but also the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong, his identity is very important, how can he risk his life? If the strong man has a different heart, the consequences are unimaginable.
Hearing this, Nuo Min couldn't help but look up at Li Yuntian, her eyes were full of pleading, how she hoped that Li Yuntian could accept the challenge of a strong man, only in this way could her mother be saved, otherwise she would definitely die.
