Chapter 688: Violence in the North (3)
Outside the sweat tent came the neighing of cows and horses, and the sounds were so clear in the silence of the large tent where heavy wheezing could be heard.
Chahar won the battle, and the cries of the cattle were filled with joy.
Ezhemuran sat on the carpet, and across from him, the excited Amur looked more like the Great Khan of Mongolia.
"Nope"
Ezhe's voice was slight, but the meaning was clear.
He thought about it, he made a decision.
"Great Khan" Amur's head burst with green tendons, "Chahar wants to unify the steppe, and all the tribes of Tumut, Modong, and Mobei are bowing at the feet of the Great Khan." Sooner or later, the Great Khan will have to make a move against Tumut, and sooner or later he will have to break with the Ming Dynasty. β
Ezhe smiled, he actually smiled.
"Amur, I can't be the Great Khan you hope"
He took out a golden wine bottle from under the table, placed it in the corner, pointed it with his rough index finger, and said, "You pour me a drink"
In the corners of the tent are all kinds of liquor, such as the Han people's burnt knives and bamboo leaf greens, the Mongols' mare's milk wine, and spirits trafficked from the far north.
Amur knew that the Great Khan's favorite was the Mongol mare's milk wine, the turbid liquid was bubbly, with some sour and foul smell, and that was the taste of the Mongols.
He took an old leather bag and walked to Ezhe's side, filling the bottle steadily.
Ezhe said: "Do you know Amur? I asked you to kill Makata. "Makata is the daughter of Huang Taiji, Gege of the Qing Dynasty.
"She bore me a son, and I still hate her." Ezhe's voice was very peaceful, everyone was dead, and there was any hatred.
"However, I don't have any reason to attack Zuo Ruo, he is disrespectful to me, he does have the strength and qualifications to disrespect me."
Ezhe picked up the golden wine bottle and poured a whole cup of mare's milk into his mouth, some of the juice falling on his black and yellow beard.
"I killed Zuo Ruo, and the Chahar Mongols have never lost their trust in the world, and they have no friends."
He put the empty golden wine bottle back on the table and said, "Chahar and the Manchus negotiated peace, this is Chahar's freedom, and it has nothing to do with Zuo Ruo." In the steppe, the Ming army will not be stupid to come and provoke us. β
The sac was full, and Amur had to be careful to hold it with both hands to prevent the syrup from spilling out of the seal. He could speak to the Great Khan, but he could not make decisions for the Great Khan.
Seeing the empty cup in front of him, he poured it back with wine.
Ezhe waved his hand and said, "That's it, after Sony comes back, I'll send someone to inform Zuo Ruo." β
Amur sealed the mouth of the wine bag, turned and put it back on the shelf in the corner of the tent.
Ezhe said: "I will summon the 1,500 cavalry back That was Zuo Ruo's idea, not Zhai Zhe, I know that Han man, he is a person who knows how to forbear." β
Amur retired.
When I walked out of the big tent, the sun was already on the horizon, and the grassland was bathed in golden light. Mongol captives were grazed and milked under the care of Chahar cavalry.
The grasslands have always been a place where the jungle eats the strong. If it was Lin Dan Khan, he would listen to him.
He thought about it. Between Chahar and the Ming army, there is a Tumut tribe, and the Ming army has few cavalry, so Zuo Ruo should not be so impulsive and stupid......
Wang Yi wants to spend the night in the city of naturalization,
The city of naturalization is not as good as it used to be, but it is still the pearl of the steppe, and here, he is a distinguished guest.
There were no Han merchants, and the Tumuts drove their cattle into the city, and the dung of cattle and horses could be seen everywhere in the streets. Mongols from afar huddled around the world, curling for not being able to buy the right goods. What they needed most was tea and salt, and the steppe people could not live without these two things.
Wang Yi passed from the front of the residence of Ombu Khan, which was empty, and neither Tokbo nor Gezhiletu dared to live in it.
GΕiletu took him into his mansion, accompanied him to dinner, and left his attendants to leave.
In summer, after the sun sets, the grassland is a relaxing place.
Wang Yi couldn't sleep all night, thinking that the regent would want the situation to unfold in that direction. Sandwiched between Ezhe and Zuo Ruo, what he can do is really limited. In any case, the regent must not have wanted the Ming to become enemies with the Mongols.
In the morning of the second half of the day, before the scorching sun had time to turn the dew on the blades of grass into steam, a troop of cavalry came from the direction of Tokto. The knight's dark armor was dull, and the Tumuts now knew it to be the best armor.
Geriletu was sending Wang Yi out of the city, when several scouts hurriedly came to his side and whispered the news.
Ge Riletu smiled and said to Wang Yi: "You don't have to go back, Lord Zuo is here."
Wang Yi was surprised, couldn't Zuo Ruo even wait for a day?
Ge Riletu pointed to the scout beside him and said, "He told me that Lord Zuo arrived at naturalization at noon. β
The scout saluted Wang Yi and said, "Lord Zuo is on the way, and he ordered me to come and report the news." β
Wang Yi spread out his hands and said, "Then go back"
Half an hour after noon, the scouts came to report that Zuo Ruo, the governor of Shaanxi Province of the Ming Dynasty, had arrived outside the naturalized city. Tokbo, Geriletu, and Wang Yiqi went out of the city to meet them, and Tumut lined up with three thousand cavalry.
Three thousand cavalry lined up in a neat line, and after waiting for another quarter of an hour or so, the cavalry with the banner of the Ming army appeared in the distance. Zuo Ruo only brought 200 cavalry, all of whom were Han Chinese. The Han cavalry was all dressed in armor, and he himself wore only a gray cloth shirt.
"Lord Zuo" Tokebo and Geriletu both dismounted and saluted, they both played under Zuo Ruo in Shaanxi, and it should be so. Wang Yi was a guest, following the two Tumut commanders.
Zuo Ruo turned over and dismounted, took a person with one hand, and supported Tokbo and Geriletu quite enthusiastically, and said: "The Tumut and the Han are one family. He said this at this time, which is worth remembering. However, he had served in the Tumut tribe, and it was not abrupt to talk about old feelings.
Wang Yi didn't expect Zuo Ruo to be so enthusiastic.
The Han cavalry formed in a tight formation and walked towards the city of Guihua, flanked by Tumut cavalry.
Zuo Ruo looked all the way over, the Tumut cavalry was influenced by the cavalry of the Han Dynasty, and the queue was neat, which was a little interesting.
The group walked into the city of naturalization, and the previously cluttered streets had been swept away. Zuo Ruo's status is much higher than Wang Yi's. Once upon a time, the governor of the border towns of the Ming Dynasty could decide the rise and fall of the Mongol tribes, and Tokbo and Geriletu visited Zuo Ruo as an audience with the Great Khan.
Tokbo's mansion was lavishly decorated and was used as a reception for Zojo.
Several people sat down as guests, and Zuo Ruo said honestly: "I have had a friendship with Tumut for more than ten years, and this time I came to naturalize to borrow a place." He sneered, and then said, "There are people in Chahar who are ungrateful, and I want to meet with Ezhe, and trouble you Tumut to be in the middle." β
Tokbo was an old man, and he exchanged glances with Geriletu, got up and said, "Lord Zuo, why be polite, your lordship is like returning home when you arrive at naturalization." Chahar, Tumut and the Ming Dynasty cooperated to achieve a great victory in the Hetao, and the Great Khan of Ezhe was not the kind of person who crossed the river and demolished the bridge. β
Zuo Ruo's expression was slightly gloomy, and he said, "I hope so." He said to Wang Yi, who was hiding behind: "Wang Yi, you will go to the Chahar Khan's tent tomorrow to spread the word, and say that I am gathering together with the Great Khan of Naturalization." β
Wang Yi hurriedly stood up and agreed. He was a little afraid of Zuo Ruo in his heart, and he didn't dare to speak out against it, but could Ezhe come to naturalize?
