The men of the Borzigit family. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is also the leader of the Horqin tribe in the Horqin steppe, as the ruler of the land known as the 'bow-maker' in Mongolian, the Borzigit clan has been breeding here for a long time.

As a branch of the Golden Family, the Bolzigit clan whose fief is in the Horqin steppe, they have always wanted to continue the glory brought to them by their ancestors, and they dare not lose this fief that belongs to them.

In order not to lose this fiefdom of the Borzigit clan, the Korqin steppe, the Borzigit clan thought of a way to marry with the surrounding forces.

In the end, the Borzigit clan fell in love with the little brother who had just risen to the side, the Jianzhou Jurchens led by the Aixinjue Luo clan, which was also known as a nation that grew up on horseback.

At that time, although the Jianzhou Jurchens still looked very thin, they were full of the same belligerent genes as the ancestors of the Golden Family, which made the Borzigit clan on the Horqin steppe see another way to rise.

This method is to take advantage of the weakness of the Jianzhou Jurchen little brother around them, the two families began to form an alliance, and helped the Jianzhou Jurchens rise, and at the same time transformed the bloodline of the Jianzhou Jurchen ruling class, so that the descendants of the Aixinjue Luo clan, who ruled the Jianzhou Jurchens, had the blood of the Borzigit clan flowing in their bodies.

Originally, this plan was very successful and smooth, and the rapid development and strength of the Jianzhou Jurchens also exceeded the expectations of the Horqin Ministry, and in the several foreign wars of the Jianzhou Jurchens, the Jianzhou Jurchens won unimaginable victories.

In order to better strengthen the connection with the Jianzhou Jurchens, the Borzigit clan married another young and beautiful princess of Horqin to the Jianzhou Jurchens, hoping to give birth to a successor for the Great Khan of the Jianzhou Jurchens, so as to achieve a better effect of transforming the ruling class of the Jianzhou Jurchens, so that the Horqin tribe and the Jianzhou Jurchens are truly inseparable.

However, this dream was shattered with an unexpected surprise attack.

Horqin never thought that the neighbor Daming, who was beaten by the Jianzhou Jurchens and cowered in the Great Wall, would one day, taking advantage of the coming of winter, brazenly break out of the Great Wall that blocked them, went out of the Shanhaiguan, and attacked the capital of the Jianzhou Jurchens, Shenyang City.

According to the previous situation, even if the Borzigit clan knew about the Ming Dynasty's surprise attack on Shenyang City, they would not think so, after all, after years of war between the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army could not be compared with the Jianzhou Jurchens in the field.

What's more, what the Ming army has to do this time is to surprise attack Shenyang City, the capital of the Jianzhou Jurchens, in terms of the probability of victory, it is even more impossible to confront the Jianzhou Jurchens.

No one thought that sometimes, the reality is often so unimaginable, the Ming army not only attacked the Jianzhou Jurchen Shenyang City, but also won an unprecedented victory under the capital of the Jianzhou Jurchen.

After beating the Horqin Department, the original plan was all disrupted, so that these men of the Borzigit clan had to gather in the king's tent to re-examine the Ming Dynasty, which had been established for more than 200 years, and the relationship with the neighbor Jianzhou Jurchen.

What they didn't expect was that before the Horqin Department could figure out how to deal with the re-emergence of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming sent troops to the Horqin Prairie, just like more than 200 years ago, the Ming Dynasty drove the Golden Family out of the Central Plains and out of the Great Wall again.

More than 200 years later, the Ming Dynasty once again came to the Horqin Grassland to find the descendants of the Golden Family, the Horqin Department led by the Borzigit clan.

As if history was going to repeat itself once again, the Ming army would drive them away from the Horqin steppe, where they had lived for generations, just as they drove the ancestors of the Borzigit clan.

...

Out of the king's tent, the leaders of the Horqin Tribe, under the leadership of Saisan, led by Wu Keshan in front, walked briskly towards the felt tent where the group of Ming envoys who came to the Horqin Department were located.

Along the way, everyone was silent, these men of the Borzigit clan who could call the shots, knew that this meeting might indicate the survival of the Horqin tribe, and it was also related to whether they could enjoy the current aristocratic life and still maintain the throne of the Horqin steppe.

Walking in front, Wu Keshan, who was in charge of pointing the way, saw that the destination was about to arrive, so he turned his head to his father and the elders who were following behind, and said, "Abba, elders, the group of Ming envoys who came to the Horqin Department are waiting in the felt tent in front. ”

After speaking, he pointed to a slightly larger felt tent not far ahead.

Hearing this, Saisang and the others who followed behind all raised their eyes, and as Wu Keshan said, they also saw the felt tent.

At this time, more than a dozen war horses were tied to the felt tent, and the whole body of the war horse was covered with armor inlaid with iron sheets, and the entire armor only showed the eyes of the war horse.

This kind of armor for war horses, not to mention the Horqin Department, is difficult to see in the entire Mongolian tribe, because it is too luxurious, iron is a very scarce resource for the Mongolian tribes, iron is used to build the war knives in the hands of Mongolian warriors on the grassland, and the armor on the body, where will it be used on the body of the war horse, and only the Ming people in the Central Plains will be so extravagant that they put on armor for the war horse, after all, the Central Plains is a place lacking war horses.

On the steppe, on the contrary, the Mongolian warriors have never lacked war horses, in the steppes often see wild horses migrating with the grass, as long as you want a war horse of your own, then go to your own bravery, go to the wild horse herd to tame a war horse of your own, as long as it can be tamed, it is your private property.

Thoughts crossed his mind, and Saisan once again set his eyes on these dozen or so war horses in full armor, with his Mongolian habit of getting along with horses all year round, even if he was a prince, he could see at a glance that these dozen war horses were all of the best breeds.

Getting this conclusion, he set his eyes on the felt tent again, thinking of the team of Ming envoys, he knew that the Ming people who could ride this kind of war horse must be the elite of the Ming army.

It is rumored that in the Central Plains, the Han people generally called the heavy cavalry when they put armor on the war horses, and they were also the elite of the cavalry.

Seeing these things, he knew that the Ming army that was on the edge of the Horqin steppe at this time must be the heavy cavalry army of the Ming Dynasty.

No longer hesitating, Saisang led the way towards the felt tent, Wu Keshan on the side saw that his father and elders were going to the felt tent, his task was completed, he didn't know whether to follow, or to leave, and finally driven by curiosity, he followed behind to the felt tent.

.....

....

Outside the felt tent.

As soon as Saisang opened the curtain, before the person entered the felt tent, the voice came in first: "Haha, the Korqin Department welcomes the arrival of the Ming envoy, and Sesant is here to greet him." ”

After speaking, he heard the sound of armor in the felt tent and the sound of colliding with the iron blades, and secretly thought, as he expected, the team of Ming envoys in the felt tent were the elite of the Ming army, and they were wearing armor to the Horqin Department.

When everyone entered the felt tent, what caught their eyes was that there were six Ming soldiers in iron white armor and silver armor standing inside.

In this atmosphere, Saisan thought that when he came in just now, he accidentally glanced at the war horses outside the felt tent, twelve, he thought that there would be twelve Ming people inside, but what he didn't expect was that it would be six Ming soldiers in armor.

Thinking secretly, it seems that this Ming army is a one-man two-horse configuration.

Under the silence, one of the six Guanning iron horsemen who came to the Horqin Department to act as a notification envoy, the armor on his body shook, took a step forward and stood out of the line, and asked Saisang and the others who had just entered.

"Which of you is the chief of the Horqin tribe?"

These people who came in, this Guan Ning Tieqi didn't need to think about it, he knew that they must be the leaders of the Horqin Tribe, but he didn't know who could call the shots.

Hearing the muffled inquiry of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, Saisang stood up and performed a Mongolian etiquette and said: "This envoy of the Ming Dynasty, I am the head of the Horqin Tribe, Saisan. ”

When this Guan Ning Tieqi saw Saisang, he didn't mean to take off his armor, he glanced through the armor, he didn't know that the person in front of him was the father and brother of the two women Li Mu was with, otherwise he wouldn't be so unsympathetic and angry.

"Saisang, the big leader of the Horqin tribe, I came this time to pass on the order of my family to the Horqin tribe, and ordered the great leader of the Horqin tribe to take all the leaders of the Borzigit clan to immediately go to the edge of the Horqin steppe to welcome the visit of the Ming army, and after receiving the order, there must be no delay."

After this Guan Ning Iron Rider finished speaking, he stood there and stopped talking, watching the reaction of Saisang and the others, no one noticed the smile in his eyes.

Thinking back to the time when he had just received General Man Gui's order to lead the team to the Horqin Division, he actually wanted to see the angry faces of the leaders of the Horqin Division in front of him, although it was possible that they would not be able to return to the team alive.

"What, what is Da Ming going to do, to openly order the Horqin Ministry? When did the Horqin Department become a subsidiary of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Yes, this Ming army is taking our Horqin Department as an order, and there is no respect at all."

"Korqin is a descendant of the Golden Family, and he must not be humiliated by this."

....

In the face of Guan Ning Tiecai's commanding words, as the descendants of the Golden Family, these leaders of the Horqin Department still had some blood in their bones, and they exploded on the spot.

It seems that he almost pulled out the scimitar on his waist and killed the six Guanning iron horsemen in front of him, so that the Ming people can also see that not everyone in the Horqin Department can order at will.

"Bang dang."

The sound of a knife coming out of its sheath made Saisan and the others stop their anger and start looking for the source of the sound.

First of all, Saisan and the others set their eyes on the six Ming envoys in front of them, and when they saw that it was not the Ming envoys who drew their swords angrily because of their words just now, these people breathed a sigh of relief, and then became nervous again, looking for each other between them.

Look for the man who drew the knife.

Until everyone's eyes were on the Mongolian man who had been warned by his elders, he didn't speak this time.

It's just that this Mongolian man is holding a scimitar in his hand, and his eyes reveal a fierce color.

Saisan and the others saw the scimitar in the hands of the Mongol man, and the six Guanning iron horsemen also saw it, but they did not speak.

"Smack."

Without waiting for the Mongolian man to speak, the elder who had warned him came to him, directly gave him a slap, and scolded: "Get out of here, the Borzigit clan does not have you who have been eaten by rats in the brain." ”

For this elder of the Borzigit clan, this nephew of the same clan is really more than enough to succeed, and they were so angry just now, they just wanted to show the anger of the Korqin tribe to the Ming envoy, and they didn't have the slightest intention of using force at all.

Otherwise, you still have to wait for the Mongolian man to draw a knife? They don't have a scimitar as an accessory, and every Mongolian man can't miss two things from birth, one is innate courage, and the other is a scimitar.

The Mongolian man who was slapped saw the fierce eyes of his elders, and did not dare to make any excuses, so he had to take the scimitar in his hand and walk out of the felt tent.

"Come back, leave the scimitar in your hand." The elder of the Borzigit clan saw the scimitar in the Mongolian man's hand, and once again called the Mongolian man back and asked him to leave the scimitar in his hand.

The reason why he asked for this was because of the experience of this elder of the Borzigit clan, he knew the temper of this nephew, and if he was allowed to go out with a scimitar like this, he would do something stupid in a fit of anger, especially since there were twelve war horses of the Ming envoy outside.

Seeing that the Mongolian man threw down the scimitar, the elder of the Borzigit clan saw Wu Keshan and ordered: "Wu Keshan, my grandson, you go and follow your uncle, don't let him do stupid things that damage the Korqin tribe, and if necessary, you can tie up your uncle." ”

"Uncle and grandfather, Wu Keshan understands that he will definitely be optimistic about his uncle." After Wu Keshan saluted, he hurriedly withdrew from the felt tent and went after his uncle of the same clan.

It was terrible, the situation inside the felt tent was so terrible, he regretted his curiosity a little.

Seeing that his son was taking care of his uncle of the same clan, and the episode was resolved, Saisang turned to look at the six Ming envoys and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Saisan's brother has caused some small misunderstandings for everyone. ”

"No, it won't." Standing in front, Guan Ning Tieqi, who led the team this time, still said in a muffled voice: "We just came to the Horqin Department to convey the order, and convey the order of my family to the leaders of the Horqin Department, as for whether your Horqin Department listens or not, it is not within the scope of our consideration." ”

"This...., can you let the Korqin Department think about it?" Saisan hesitated and said.

Guan Ningtieqi, the leader of the team, said unhappily: "Impossible, my family is still waiting for me to go back and hand over the order, if your Horqin Department is unwilling to go to greet you, my family said it, he is happy to hear the news." ”

After a pause, the leader of the team, Guan Ning Tieqi, said, "As a subordinate of my family, we are also happy to hear this news. ”

When the words fell, this Guan Ning Iron Rider looked at Sai Sang and the others coldly through the face armor, and the five Guan Ning Iron Riders behind him also drew their knives.

As the five Guanning iron horsemen made the action of drawing their knives, for a while, the atmosphere in the felt tent suddenly froze, and if there was a disagreement, blood would be splashed on the spot.

This also made Saisan and others tremble.

There was a word that crossed everyone's mind, war.

The war between the Ming Dynasty and the Horqin Division.
