Chapter 167: Big Cauldron Rice (17)

Hao Ren withdrew his gaze from the Great Khan of Timur, and lamented in his heart that the aesthetics of Mongolia really could not keep up with the situation. Normally, the Great Khan of Mongolia would wear more ordinary clothes, the material was better, and the cut fit was very good. It didn't leave Hao Ren with any feelings. Whenever it was time to receive important envoys, the Mongol Khan would dress very formally. Hao Ren had to lament that Mongolian costumes were really lacking in aesthetics.

The cleaner and neater the Mongolian robe, the more pleasing it looks at, but the Mongolian aesthetics are there, and all kinds of gold and silver threads and various delicate embroideries and ornaments make the presence of the robe low, and it plays a role in dominating the guests. This line is quite like the festival of Mongolian farmers who have become rich by breeding in the Yuan Kingdom in recent years, and Hao Ren, who has looked away, remembered the portrait of Zhao Jiaren hanging in the province of Europa in the Great Song Dynasty. In the portrait, Zhao Jiaren is dressed in a Song Dynasty military uniform, and the simple and bright military uniform reflects the noble temperament of the protagonist in the portrait.

When his eyes fell on the noble envoy, he saw that the envoy was dressed in the characteristic costume of the northern part of Tianzhu, and his robes and pointed hats were also decorated with intricate gold and silver threads, which were not far behind the clothes of Timur Khan. The envoy of the slave dynasty stood in front of the Timur Khan and said: "The most noble Mongol Khan, I have come to ask the Mongols on behalf of our Sultan to allow our people to make a pilgrimage to Mecca. ”

Hao Ren looked at the envoy with some surprise, confused by this question. When he looked at Timur, he saw that Timur did not answer immediately, and the close minister next to him came up and said a few words. Timur frowned and motioned for his ministers to stand down, remaining silent. Seeing such an unserious reaction from the Mongol court, the envoy of the slave dynasty could only recount: "Venerable Great Khan, our previous war with the Ilkhanate was because the Ilkhanate cut off our way to the Holy Land and attacked our audience. If the Great Khan is willing to come to an agreement with us, we can stop fighting. ”

Listening to the translator's words, Timur's small eyes flashed with essence. He himself did not know why the Mongols fought with the slave dynasty, but now he finally knew. But it doesn't matter, the countries surrounding Mongolia are at war with Mongolia. One more slave dynasty is not too much. Timur wanted to ask a few more questions, but he felt that there was nothing to say, so he said to the messenger: "If this is the only thing the messenger has, you should go back and wait for us to tell you the news." ”

As soon as the envoy heard this, he became excited, "Your Excellency Great Khan, we and other kingdoms will go to the Holy Land to meet us, and if your country cannot agree, we will have to rely on ourselves." ”

Hearing the threatening words, many of the Mongol ministers immediately stood up and cursed. Hao Ren felt very sorry in his heart, he felt that the top priority was Mongolia's domestic affairs, and the foreign war must be stopped. However, Hao Ren was not worried that these people would really draw their swords against each other, and the Mongols treated their envoys with great respect, and even enemy envoys had to ensure their safety. After these princes finished shouting, Hao Ren said: "This kind of thing is not negotiable. ”

Hao Ren's voice fell, and immediately a prince shouted at Hao Ren: "Prime Minister, we can't accept them to cross our land with a large number of men and horses. If you think about it, you can't carry a weapon. ”

As soon as the envoys of the slave dynasty heard this, they knew that this matter really could not be discussed, where was the reason why the king traveled without weapons. He glanced at Hao Ren and asked, "May I ask what this noble man is called?" ”

"I am Hao Ren, the prime minister of Mongolia."

Hearing that Hao Ren turned out to be the prime minister of Mongolia, the envoy of the slave dynasty showed a slightly surprised expression. He then said, "Your Excellency, we can even set off for the Holy Land by boat instead of going through Mongolia. ”

Without waiting for Hao Ren to say anything, the prince continued to shout: "If you enter the territory of Mongolia, you are not allowed to carry weapons!" ”

Seeing that someone took the lead in challenging Hao Ren, several princes shouted: "That's right, we have to listen to our arrangements on our Mongolian territory." ”

Hao Ren didn't pay attention to the princes, but said to Timur: "Great Khan, can this matter be discussed again?" ”

Timur didn't speak, his grim look proving that he was thinking about something, and Hao Ren guessed that Timur was not thinking about something optimistic. He had guessed wrong, and Timur was regretting his wrong decision to let Tokh go to Damascus with Hao Kang. If he had escaped from this place, he would have come up with a suggestion that would give Timur a choice, rather than the opposing attitude of the princes who tried to flip the table at a glance. Eventually, Timur decided to take a moderate approach, saying, "If your country is willing to accept our arrangement, we can agree to your lordship to go to the Holy Land." ”

The envoy of the slave dynasty did not argue or object, and after saluting again, he said: "Since this is the case, we will take our leave." ”

Looking at the back of the departing envoy, Hao Ren was unspeakably dissatisfied in his heart, but he was also a little helpless. The most important thing is that Hao Ren has no special thoughts about the True God Cult. For Hao Ren, the most impressive thing is that Kublai Khan did not have a good impression of the True God Cult. Many True God Cult caravans passed by and offered to have their imams slaughter cattle and sheep. The reason is that the cattle and sheep slaughtered by the Mongols are not clean. After Kublai Khan's enragement, he issued a strict order that only the Mongols were allowed to sell beef and mutton to the True God Sect merchant groups, which led to a sharp decrease in the number of True God Sect merchants from the area to the capital. Kublai Khan's Great Khan was still like this, and Hao Ren himself had no special position. Seeing that Timur had already made a decision, Hao Ren no longer fought for it.

Timur ordered the court to disperse and left first. Hao Ren couldn't help but think of Tokhtar on the way home, if it was Tokhtar, there would probably be a way to convince Timur Great Khan, right?

Tokhtar didn't know that the two great nobles of Mongolia remembered him, and at this time, he walked in front of a group of bare-handed princes. The tall and handsome Yuanguo half-breed horse didn't feel the ups and downs at all when he walked, which made Totoku more comfortable to glance down at the nervous princes.

After going around, he drove the horse to Hao Kang. I saw that Hao Kang had washed the soot off his face and was wiping his face and hands with a towel. Tuo jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "Thanks to Brother Hao Kang for opening the door of the village, I don't know what Brother Hao Kang is going to do with the thieves he caught." ”

Hao Kang didn't speak, he took a towel and slowly wiped his hands, looking at the princes with malicious intentions in his eyes. Tokh knew that a guy like Hao Kang hadn't experienced so many bad things, and seeing his really angry appearance, he was afraid that he would cut down all these princes on a whim, so he hurriedly took two steps closer and persuaded: "Brother Hao Kang, why do you treat these guys as human beings." I didn't get angry with myself. ”

Hao Kang was stunned, it was the first time he had heard such an expression. Yes, with Hao Kang's status and strength, he really can't treat these guys as people, but even if he sees these guys as snakes and insects, they are also snakes and insects that can bite people's fangs. In order to break the Zhuangzi where he is now, Hao Kang's men were killed and eleven wounded. They are all close subordinates who have been with Hao Kang for more than two years. If he couldn't take revenge, Hao Kang only felt that he was completely sorry for them.

Knowing Hao Kang's mood, he continued to persuade: "Brother Hao Kang, some of my brothers who were close to me before died in battle. I want to kill them all. But we are all people who want to do big things, and if we want to do big things, someone has to listen to us. You've let these princes know that they're powerful, spare their dogs' lives and let them serve us well. These accounts should be written down first, and if they dare to be disobedient in the future, they will be settled together at that time. ”

"How can they be truly obedient?" The anger in Hao Kang's chest was still there.

"We have all beaten this Zhuangzi like this, how dare they be disobedient." Totoh pointed to the broken gate and several collapses on the wall, trying his best to convince Hao Kang. This is the truth of Tokhtar, this Zhuangzi is the most powerful local prince in Damascus owned the grange, Tokhtar and Hao Kang arrived in Damascus and asked all the princes to come to visit. This prince had already inquired about the news, and after learning that Tokh and Hao Kang had brought a total of 1,000 soldiers and horses, he immediately said to the local prince, "Where did the little rabbit cub come from, has the hair grown?" Will you bow down to those little cubs? ’

Some landlords openly objected, and most of the local princes and chiefs did not come to visit Tokhtar and Hao Kang. When this kind of raptor crossed the river, Tokhoff immediately discussed with Hao Kang to do it, he originally wanted to pick a soft persimmon and pinch it first, but he didn't expect Hao Kang to strongly advocate capturing the thief and capturing the king first. Tokhtar knew that the Yuan army was strong, so he simply gathered those princes who were willing to come to see him to watch how to solve this thorny prince. Recalling the powerful artillery and blasting technology of the Yuan army under Hao Kang, he is still a little frightened.

Now Hao Kang looks like he wants to commit a massacre because of the death of several cronies in the battle, and Tokh can only stop it with all his might. It was never a problem for the Mongols to kill the Mongols, but Ketok and Hao Kang came to Damascus to conquer rather than plunder.

After a period of persuasion, Hao Kang also began to feel that he was too impulsive. With this kind of thought, he suddenly felt that it seemed a little silly to wash his face and wipe his hands in public. Fang did this because he decided to kill, so he couldn't help but have a little sense of ritual preparation. If you put yourself in order, you can sincerely kill the enemy and pay tribute to your brothers.

Seeing that Hao Kang was a little Hao Ran, he smiled and said: "Brother, this faction is very good, but you have to let these guys know that you kill people like dogs." The more powerful the brothers, the more they will know how powerful their brothers are. I'll leave the rest to my brother! ”

Not long after, these two young magnates rode together on tall horses to the onlookers, and their eyes were full of awe when they looked at Toto, and in addition to the same awe in their eyes at the tall and handsome Hao Kang, there was also panic about the unfathomable and profound figures. No matter how you look at it, this little prince of the Yuan Kingdom is going to kill, but before killing, he actually washed his face and hands. This is more than the average Mongolian person washes his hands and face in a month. What will the little prince do next after doing this rare action, the princes are all worried in their hearts.

"Drag that guy over." Get rid of the life. The guards soon dragged up a chubby fellow, who knew that the dead rider was in front of him, and his face was gloomy, but he shouted loudly: "If you want to kill me, you have to order the Great Khan." You can't kill me without the orders of the Great Khan! ”

"The order of the Great Khan? We were sent by the Great Khan, and we are the orders of the Great Khan! Tokhtar said with a grim smile.

Hao Kang's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said loudly: "Why do you have to talk so much about this guy. Since the Great Khan has authorized us to kill people in Damascus, let us write a proclamation. ”

After speaking, Hao Kang asked someone to take a piece of silk cloth and spread it out, sat on the horse and brushed and wrote for a while, and then said to his subordinates: "Sing to them!" ”

The Mongols have no written language, and even the prince is 90% illiterate. Seeing that Hao Kang wrote the paperwork easily, the princes were already frightened. Seeing Hao Kang's guards pick up what Hao Kang had written and sing, they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully, "You heroes can hear clearly, we are the people of the Great Khan." The Great Khan, knowing that there were many thieves, sent me to Damascus. The person in front of him was a gangster, and he openly mobilized troops against the Great Khan. We will lead the troops to catch the gangster, and we can't keep him until tomorrow......"

The lyrics are all the content that Mongolians are accustomed to, simple and clear, and easy to understand. Listen and listen to the princes, you know that the captured prince in front of you is dead. After the song was finished, I heard Hao Ren shouting: "Lead the horse and give this guy a ride." ”

Hao Ren's subordinates soon brought five horses, and the biggest local prince in Damascus was so frightened that he screamed: "You can't ...... Woowoo"

A guard stuffed a rag into this guy's mouth, and then tied his hands and legs with a white and brown rope imported from the Great Song Dynasty, and then someone brought a fifth rope and tied it around the prince's neck. The princes who had fought the right team from the beginning were a little excited. Five horses split the corpse, a method that has not been seen in a long time. Generally speaking, this is a means of dealing with the most serious criminals, but the Mongolian horsepower is not large, and they often strangle people to death and fail to dismember. Therefore, most of these methods take the way of ignition on the tail of the ox. It relies on a short brute force to tear the human body.

I saw Hao Ren's subordinates leading five horses, and these princes stretched their necks one by one to watch. They had never seen such tall horses before, but could these horses tear people apart? With excitement and excitement, the prince watched intently as the whining prince was placed in the center of the field, and the five ropes were tied to the saddle of the five horses.

With a whistle, the five horses began to stride forward, and although the prince lying on the ground tried to twist, he was still pulled up from the ground by five ropes, and his limbs were stretched out and hung in the air.
