Chapter 414: Da Yu'er asks for help
Seeing Airo sitting there frowning and pondering, the three girls glanced at each other and didn't know how to speak. After all, Yueyang's status is now extraordinary, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the entire Ming Dynasty will be shocked three times, and Yueyang is also the Hou Ye, and there are many people who want to have a relationship with him like a carp crossing the river, not to mention those old subordinates of Yueyang, even those important ministers in the court, don't look at many people who scold him so fiercely on weekdays, but if Yue Yang releases a word to marry their family, ensure that they can wake up with a smile when they sleep at night.
Dong Xiaowan tentatively said softly to Yue Yang: "Since you haven't figured it out yet, don't think about it, let's not be in a hurry, it's not too late to decide in a few days." β
Yue Yang smiled bitterly and lowered his head: "In a few days, in a few days, I'm afraid grandma will have to come to Jinan." Last year, my grandmother asked me to help me keep an eye on it and help Ying'er find a good in-law, but I forgot about it when I got busy. It is said that the eldest brother is like a father, and my brother is too incompetent. β
"Xianggong!" Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan on the side gently protected Ailang on the left and right, and both of them gently put their delicate little faces on Yueyang's beard, comforting their lovers with practical actions. And Wang Yue behind him was not to be outdone, and hugged her lover tightly from behind, and the proud twin peaks were tightly attached to Ailang's back.
Just when Yue Yang was worried about his sister-in-law's marriage, on an official road somewhere in Shanxi, two carriages were driving along the flat official road one after the other, and around these two carriages, dozens of knights dressed as Mongolians were closely guarding the two carriages.
In the first carriage, a young woman with a beautiful face and a middle-aged beautiful woman are sitting opposite each other, holding a swaddling baby in the arms of the young woman, and a baby is sleeping soundly in the arms of the young woman, and this young woman and middle-aged beauty are Da Yu'er and his aunt Zhezhe who came from the Horqin grassland.
Today's Da Yu'er is not dressed in Manchu costume, but in a set of wide, straight-to-heel red robes characteristic of the Mongols, with slits on the sides and pink floral welts at the neckline and cuffs. He also wears a peaked hat with a brim, which looks very generous and beautiful.
The car drove smoothly on the wide, straight concrete road, and the afternoon sun through the windows made people feel lazy. Such weather can be said to be very comfortable, but the faces of the two people in the carriage did not show a trace of joy, on the contrary, they showed a faint sadness.
After a long time, Zhezhecai, who was sitting opposite Da Yu'er, sighed lightly and said, "Bumu Butai, did you say that Hai Lanzhu would help us?" β
Da Yu'er hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't know, but I think my sister shouldn't be able to see death without help, but what Cheng dΓΉ will help is not something we can know." β
"Alas......" Zhezhe sighed faintly, lamenting, "We have all run to the Horqin grassland to hide. But Dorgon still refuses to let us go, as for what you said that he should return the throne to Fu Lin after a hundred years, it is just a joke, why is he so ruthless, he has to put us to death and hurry up! β
Maybe it was Zhezhe who said too loudly, waking up the baby in Da Yu'er's arms, and after looking around with round eyes, he opened his mouth, and soon there was a cry in the carriage.
Da Yu'er shook the baby gently twice, slowly patted the baby's back, and then untied the placket on her chest and stuffed the bulging meat ball into the baby's mouth. "Oh...... Fu Lin doesn't cry, Eji is here, you must be hungry, come ......"
The baby quickly grabbed the mother's breast* and sucked it heavily. Soon the crying stopped. Only then did Da Yu'er raise her head and sneered: "Auntie, you are too naΓ―ve, I think that Dolgon made a promise in front of all the high-ranking officials of our Great Qing Dynasty, if the child I gave birth to this time is a boy, then he will return the Khan throne to the first Khan after a hundred years." Now that Fulin has been born, do you think he can still sit still? β
"But he can't be so ruthless, our Horqin grassland has been 66 years old and has had a lot of conflicts with them these days. If we continue like this, we'll have to go to war with him directly. Zhezhe's eyes turned red when he said this.
"Hmph...... No, it won't. Da Yu'er's silver teeth clenched, and her pink face showed a resolute look: "As long as my sister and brother-in-law are willing to support us, our Horqin tribe will be fine." β
"Alas...... I hope so. "Although Zhezhe is Da Yu'er's aunt, she has a soft temperament, and Da Yuer is generally in charge of major matters.
At this time, a voice came from outside the window, "Two mothers, Hunyuan Prefecture has arrived!" β
"Oh...... Has it finally arrived? Da Yu'er and Zhezhe couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this, and both opened the curtains, and soon a tall city wall appeared in front of the two of them, and there were more than a dozen sergeants and several small officials standing next to the wide city gate, and a group of sergeants with firearms were patrolling on the city wall.
Zhezhe hurriedly said, "Hurry up...... Let them hurry up and get into the city. β
When the convoy reached the city gate, it was stopped, and soon a gate officer with two sergeants approached.
"Who are you, where are you coming from, what are you going to do, what are you carrying in the car? All the goods are registered here, and the curtain is opened for us to check! β
The gatekeeper's words were quick and urgent, and it was evident that he had developed a habit of saying them many times a day.
After much talking, the group was finally able to enter the city. After several inquiries, the convoy arrived at the heavily guarded Zhongyong Marquis Mansion in the north of the city.
When Da Yu'er revealed her identity, the side door of the Hou Mansion opened in less than a while, and Hai Lanzhu, dressed in full costume, greeted her with more than a dozen servants and maids.
At first glance, Da Yu'er and Zhezhe were overjoyed when they saw the dusty Da Yu'er, but then Hai Lanzhu couldn't help but ask strangely: "Auntie, Bumu Butai, why are you here, why didn't you send someone to tell me in advance, I can also send someone to pick you up." β
After more than half a month of driving, I finally saw Hai Lanzhu, and Zhezhe, who was already a little soft, finally couldn't help but step forward and hugged his niece and cried.
"Woo...... Hai Lanzhu, my aunt and Bumu Butai are here to ask you for help this time, you must help your aunt. β
"Auntie, don't cry yet, let's go in first, okay?" While comforting Zhezhe, Hai Lanzhu ordered the maid to take the guards of the Horqin tribe who escorted Zhezhe and Zhe to the guest room of the Hou Mansion to rest.
And Hai Lanzhu personally took Zhezhe, Da Yuer and several other maids to a living room in the backyard and sat down, Hai Lanzhu stretched out her hand to stop Zhezhe who wanted to speak first, and smiled at the two of them: "Auntie, Bu Mu Butai, I know that you must have a lot to say to me when you come from afar." But now that you're here, you don't have to worry about anything, now you bathe and change your clothes first, and I'll tell your servants to prepare the food and drinks, and we'll have dinner together tonight, and then we'll talk slowly. β
"That's fine, then we'll talk later." Da Yu'er didn't wait for Zhezhe to speak, so she preemptively agreed.
"Okay, then we'll see you in the evening." Hai Lanzhu smiled, and only then left the living room after giving the two of them a comforting look.
In this way, after grooming and dressing up, the sun gradually set, and Da Yuer handed over the child to the personal maid to take care of. Only then did he and Zhezhe follow the maid who had been waiting outside to the courtyard where Hai Lanzhu lived, and at this time, a sumptuous banquet had been set up inside, and Hai Lanzhu was standing aside and waiting for them with a smile.
The three of them sat down, Hai Lanzhu was not in a hurry to get to the point, first waited for Da Yu'er and Zhezhe to eat, and then the maid served tea, and finally said with a smile: "Auntie, Bumu Butai, although I have slightly guessed the meaning of your purpose this time. But I'm not sure, and I hope you will sue me personally. β
"Hai Lanzhu ......" Before Zhezhe's words were finished, his eyes began to turn red again, and he saw that tears were about to fall again. Hai Lanzhu hurriedly stopped her, and she said with a wry smile that she knew Zhezhe's temperament very well: "Auntie, you better let Bumu Butai talk about it, I guess you have to finish talking until dawn." β
"That's good!" Zhezhe nodded, looked at Da Yu'er, and motioned for her to speak.
Da Yu'er took a deep breath first. Then Zhengse looked at Hai Lanzhu and said, "Sister, I came to ask you for help this time, you must help Abu and the Horqin tribe." Otherwise, our tribe will be finished! β
"Oh...... Is there such a strict zhΓ²ng? Hai Lanzhu was also a little surprised, these days, with the gradual stabilization of the forces outside the Guan, the focus of Hai Lanzhu's hands has gradually shifted to North Korea and Nanyang, but she doesn't know much about Horqin's affairs, and now when she heard Da Yu'er say it so strictly, her expression also became strict.
Da Yu'er is much stronger than Zhezhe in terms of eloquence and psychological quality, and she soon told the truth of the matter.
It turned out that at the beginning of this year, the child in Da Yuer's belly finally landed. Seeing that the baby was a boy, both Zhaisang and Da Yuer were very happy, and Da Yuer personally named the child Fulin, which means that blessing comes, and with this baby, then he will have the opportunity to rely on the child in the future, and wait until the child grows up to kill back to Shengjing.
However, Da Yu'er still underestimated Dolgon's cruelty, and the news that he gave birth to a son naturally couldn't hide it from him, and soon Dolgon sent Du Du, the owner of the Blue Banner, to the Horqin Grassland in person, found Zhaisang and Da Yu'er, and told him that Dolgon was willing to marry Da Yu'er as a concubine, and took Da Yu'er and Fulin back to Shengjing to live, and promised that he would pass on the throne to Fulin after a hundred years.
When they heard this, a cold sweat broke out in everyone's hearts. Dolgon's trick is too ruthless, this is simply a trick, if Da Yu'er remarries Dolgon, then Fulin will naturally become Dolgon's son, and at that time, it is not Dolgon who has the final say? Moreover, after more than a year, Dolgon has already run in Shengjing, and now Shengjing has long been under Dolgon's control, if Da Yuer and Fulin really return to Shengjing stupidly, I am afraid it will not be long before the news of the accidental death of the mother and son will come out.
Da Yu'er naturally wouldn't agree to this kind of promise that only an idiot would take seriously, she immediately refused, and Du Du didn't force it, and soon returned to Shengjing. Soon, it didn't take long for Wu Keshan, the eldest son of Zhaisang, to be removed from the deputy commander of the Han Army Banner, and returned to the Horqin grassland with his family.
In the following months, several tribes in the vicinity of Horqin also clashed with the Horqin tribe over the grabbing of pastures, especially the Karaqin tribe, and these days they have fought several fierce battles with the Horqin tribe. The wars between the tribes on the steppe are more merciful than the wars that are not seen between countries in the slightest, and the losing side often means that the tribe has disappeared from the world, and the Horqin tribe and Karaqin have lost nearly a thousand cavalry for this these days, but this conflict still shows no signs of stopping. If in the past, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as the boss, would have sent people to intervene in such a strict problem in the Mongolian ministries, but this time, Shengjing ignored it as if he was suffering from an eye disease. Even when Zhaisang sent people to Shengjing to clarify the situation, the other party even shirked and said that this was an internal matter of the Mongolian people, and they were not good at interfering.
At this time, no matter how stupid Zhai Sang, Da Yu'er and the others were, they knew that this matter must have been made by Dolgon, and its purpose was to force Da Yu'er to comply. It is said that the Horqin tribe is a large tribe of the Mongolian people, and the entire tribe has a population of more than 100,000 people, which is not comparable to small and medium-sized tribes like Karaqin, but there is no absolute, once these tribes are united, the Horqin tribe will not be able to cope with it. As the conflict grew, the Korqin tribe felt more and more at the expense of one another. The constant incursions and conflicts have brought great losses to the Horqin tribe, and the relationship between the Horqin tribe and Yueyang has become more and more cold in recent years, and the caravans coming to Horqin have become fewer and fewer, which has exacerbated the difficulties of the Horqin tribe.
Speaking of this, Da Yu'er looked at Hai Lanzhu with a pleading gaze, "Sister, I know that when my brother-in-law and the Qing Dynasty were at war the year before last, Abu also helped send troops, but at that time, Abu was also forced to do so. After all, the Horqin steppe and Shengjing are so close that we can't refuse the Manchu request. Although you and your brother-in-law have never said anything, it can be seen from the fact that these caravans you have sent to the Horqin tribe are getting fewer and fewer, and you still resent Abu and resentment of me in your hearts. Can...... But my sister ...... You are also the daughter of our Horqin tribe, so you can help Abu and help the Horqin tribe! Speaking of this, Da Yu'er couldn't help but grab Hai Lanzhu's hand anymore and began to choke.
"Alas......"
Hai Lanzhu grabbed Da Yu'er's little long sigh and smiled bitterly, "Silly sister." I'm your sister, and although we're married to different men, we're sisters born to the same Eji after all. How could I hate you? The reason why we have reduced the number of times we have gone to the Horqin caravan for more than a year is because your brother-in-law is angry that you haven't even written a letter of apology these days, and your brother-in-law is also a person who wants to save face, so he ordered to reduce the number and quota of the Horqin caravan. He just hoped that Abu could write a letter to explain to him, but more than a year later, Abu didn't hear from him, so he ......"
Speaking of this, Hai Lanzhu smiled bitterly and spread her hands......
Hearing this, Zhezhe came over and grabbed her hand and sobbed, "Hai Lanzhu, don't you know what kind of person you Abu are?" Don't look at him who always laughs and laughs on weekdays, but he is proud in his heart, how can he take the initiative to bow to his son-in-law? This time, Bumu Butai and I offered to come and see you, and you Abu agreed, otherwise he wouldn't let us come even if it was difficult. Hai Lanzhu, you can save the Horqin tribe! β
After speaking, Zhezhe was about to kneel down in condescending towards Hai Lanzhu, and when Hai Lanzhu saw this, he quickly pulled Zhezhe up and said in a panic: "Auntie has something to say, what are you doing?" Are you going to break my life? β
Seeing this, Da Yu'er on the side also came over to help Hai Lanzhu help Zhezhe up and persuaded: "Auntie, don't you cry, don't you know who your sister is, she won't stand idly by, sister, what do you say?" In this last sentence, Da Yu'er also specially accentuated her tone.
"You...... You guys! Hai Lanzhu couldn't help but smile bitterly, this aunt and nephew forced themselves into a corner as soon as they sang and said a few words, the two of them deserved to be the queens and princesses of the Qing Dynasty.
After thinking about it, Hai Lanzhu said, "Auntie, how do you want me to help you?" β
Zhezhe was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately said: "Of course, we will immediately send troops outside the border to help us fight those ungrateful tribes." β
Hearing this, Hai Lanzhu couldn't help but smile bitterly, her aunt really dared to say it. She turned her head to Da Yu'er, who thought for a while before saying, "Sister, I know that my brother-in-law is not in Shanxi now, and you can't make decisions about this kind of thing, you can tell us what you can help us with first." β
Hai Lanzhu looked at her sister with some surprise and praised: "Bumu Butai, you have indeed grown up." You are right, although there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Shanxi today, these proud soldiers will not listen to me as a woman, and your brother-in-law must nod and issue a military talisman for such a major event, otherwise no one can mobilize a single soldier. But there are no absolutes, I think what the Horqin tribe needs most now should not be our soldiers and horses, but something else, right? β
Hearing this, Da Yu'er's pink face turned slightly red, and she said suddenly: "It seems that I can't hide it from my sister, but now what our Horqin tribe lacks most is food, tea, and armor and weapons, can my sister support us a batch?" β
"What's so hard about that?" Hai Lanzhu immediately laughed. (To be continued!)
