Chapter 117: The Three Great Divisions of Warat
Bao Yuanqian cleaned up his mood and walked quickly to follow his predecessors, but saw another woman rushing out of the room.
The woman's pace was hurried, and a silver ring jewel clattered, and she headed down the steps, shouting in her mouth to attract Bao Yuanqian's attention.
Because the Mongolian language shouted by this woman is the meaning of the younger brother in the mouth of the Han people.
It seemed that this woman was the sister of this Mongolian aristocratic young man, and he looked sideways curiously, only to see that the woman had caught up with the person who was similar to himself, and asked for warmth for a while.
After hearing two sentences, Bao Yuanqian went up the steps and went straight into the right side hall, waiting for the summons of Ma Hamu and others.
While he was waiting in the side hall, his heart was surging, he carefully thought about the woman who had just chased out, obviously had a very close relationship with the noble young man, but why did she appear in the heavily guarded Wan'an Palace, what was the relationship between her and Mahamu?
I wonder what she would look like if she saw her face, and how she would answer if she asked?
"Dayuan Taishi Mahamu welcomes the envoy of the Ming Kingdom!"
While Bao Yuanqian was thinking, the messenger came from the main hall and called loudly.
Ying Hao and the three of them were a little nervous, Ying Hao couldn't help but tighten the package on his back, sweated a hand, and looked at Bao Yuanqian bottomlessly.
Bao Yuanqian looked at the three of them and nodded, in fact, the four of them had already discussed their respective division of labor and roles before they came, but they were still a little hesitant when it came to the end, after all, pretending to be a court envoy was the first time for the four of them to do it!
The envoy was in front of him, and soon led the four people into the main hall, and as soon as Bao Yuanqian stepped into the main hall, there was a burst of heating hot on his face, giving people a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
Although this Wan'an Palace occupies a small area, it is indeed complete, the interior is extremely luxurious, the huge red lacquered beams carved with dragons and phoenixes stand in the hall, and the thick and luxurious Persian red carpet spreads all over the ground.
There are countless tables on each side, and the upper main seat is located on several white jade steps, overlooking the whole hall.
Bao Yuanqian listened to the melodious sound of the huqin, and subconsciously glanced around, there were not many people in the main hall, the sturdy armor soldiers stood around the hall with halberds, and countless brocade maids stood on both sides of the table, and on the left side were Mongolian people with braided hair, who were using a knife to pick the meat on the table and stuff it into their mouths.
Two of them, Bao Yuanqian, recognized that it was the one who was Tuhuan and Harazhang, and when he saw the four of them coming, he just looked at him coldly, but Harazhang was not shocked, and he couldn't see his joy and anger.
On the main seat on the steps was sitting a middle-aged man with a gold seal and slender wolf eyes, who was the leader of the Warajuros tribe, the Northern Yuan Taishi at this time, Mahamu.
And he was accompanied by a glamorous Mongolian lady who seemed to be in her thirties, and Bao Yuanqian recognized it at a glance, it was the woman who had just chased out of the palace!
Ma Hamu looked at the four people under the stairs with a mouthful of savage stubble, and he who was originally leaning on the animal skin chair, couldn't help but get up with a flash of light and smiled.
"The angels of the Ming Kingdom are here, and my little Wan'an Palace is really full of flowers!" Mahamu's informality is Mongolian, with a Varat accent.
Zhang Shanduan and the three of them naturally didn't understand, but it was difficult for Bao Yuanqian.
Bao Yuanqian stepped forward and said: "I am the ambassador of the Ming Dynasty Rite Department, Bao Yuanqian. The Suzhou guards appointed by the imperial court escorted hundreds of households, Zhangshanduan. ā
"Behind the two are the two brocade guards who came with the imperial court's holy decree, Kou Baihu and Captain Ying."
He spoke with great confidence, although his heart was surging, but he also knew that if he was a messenger from the Ming Dynasty, there must not be the slightest cowardice in his words, otherwise it would be very easy to arouse suspicion.
When Ma Hamu saw Bao Yuanqian, his expression moved, and he couldn't help but look at it a few times, and looked back, as if he was seeking something.
The Mongolian lady was also a little surprised at this time, and looked at Bao Yuanqian, who was talking at the bottom of the steps, with a look of surprise, her eyes full of incomprehension.
Harazhang watched everything from the sidelines, but there was an elusive look on his face, looking at this scene meaningfully.
The lady was fascinated, and went straight down the steps to Bao Yuanqian, approached and grabbed Bao Yuanqian's cuffs and said, "You... What is your name? ā
"The ambassador of the Daming Society, Bao Yuanqian."
Bao Yuanqian repeated it again, he knew that there would be such a thing, but he did not have the slightest fear, he decided that this noble lady just felt that she was very similar to the Mongolian young man.
I grew up in Suzhou Wei with Uncle Bao since I was a child, so many years have passed, how can anyone recognize me when my appearance has changed so long?
The lady asked, "Do you have any other relatives?" ā
Bao Yuanqian shook his head and said: "This envoy was free to grow up in the Ming Dynasty, and when he became an adult, he took over my father's official position, and he has been in charge of the Ministry of Rites for many years. ā
The noble lady said that she wanted to reach out and lift Bao Yuanqian's collar, but Bao Yuanqian immediately raised her eyebrows and said: "Mrs. Zun, please respect yourself, I am the envoy of the Ming court, how can I allow you to be humiliated in front of people!?" ā
"Don't you know even the most basic etiquette of diplomatic relations?"
"Iā" The lady was stopped, a little dazed.
The three people on the side didn't know the situation, and suddenly heard Bao Yuanqian's anger, and they were all a little nervous.
Mahamu stepped forward and asked the maid to help the noble lady away, brushed her hair and softened, "The noble envoy has misunderstood, she is my concubine, Lady Erudo." Fang just recognized the younger brother who was outcast, but because the noble envoy was really similar to him, she loved the house and Wu, and she was rude. ā
"I see, there is such a strange thing in this world. But it makes sense to think about it, there are not many people with similar faces in this billions of living beings in the world, and Mrs. Zun is a little rare and strange. Bao Yuanqian listened, and suddenly realized, "Although I was born with a grassland face, my ancestors moved to the Central Plains three generations ago, and I also made military achievements during the Northern Expedition of Emperor Gao, and my family has never had any side relatives for three generations." ā
Mahamu echoed: "I think the same is true, otherwise it would be quite unrelated, and it would be rude for my wife to think of her own heart." Come, your envoy, please take a seat, for I have many things to say with your envoy so that I may hear them in the day of the Son of Tomorrow. ā
Bao Yuanqian and the four of them sat down, and Mahamu walked to the side of a group of Mongolian nobles on the left and introduced: "I told your envoy that this is my only son, Rose Tuhuan, he is young and ignorant, and there are many conflicts today, and I hope that your envoy will have a large number of them, so don't worry about him." ā
Bao Yuanqian got up and made a move, but Tuohuan snorted coldly, Ma Hamu glared at him coldly, but Tuohuan still got up and perfunctory.
Ma Hamu said again: "This is my Dayuan Privy Envoy, Harazhang, I think you are also familiar with each other." ā
The two saluted each other, and Hara Zhang was also courteous.
Mahamu walked up to the third person and said, "This is the leader of my Warahuit tribe, the Bald Polo." It is the mainstay of the three parts of my Warat, and I have been fascinated by the Ming Emperor for a long time, and I urgently need to be canonized by the Son of Heaven. ā
Bao Yuanqian heard the four words of Bald Polo, and his spirit perked up, this Bald Polo is one of the three giants who jointly commanded the entire Warat during the Yongle period and the son of Ugqi of the Turgunt Department in the historical materials, and was one of the three kings of Saibei Sanshun who was canonized by Ming Chengzu!
Later, he was defeated by Ming Chengzu in the Battle of Hulan and returned to the imperial court. Later, he was killed by Tohuan and annexed his people.
The bald Polo combed his braided hair, looked extremely rough, got up and patted his chest and said: "Yes, Lao Tzu is a bald Polo, Lao Tzu is a rough person, he doesn't know what etiquette, and he will take care of the envoy who offends him!" "His voice was like a bell, deafening.
Bao Yuanqian laughed and returned the salute, "How heroic the Yuan people are, this envoy has dealt with a lot, this is straightforward, and it is not surprising." ā
Ma Hamu sighed lightly with his hands and said: "Hey, my three tribes are of one heart and one mind, and I have long had the intention of returning to the imperial court to attack the Tatar Arutai, but I blame the Ugqi of the Turhut Department for not knowing what to do, and he dared to raise troops to invade the territory, and it is really a great crime to anger Tianwei!" ā
The bald Polo snorted: "Exactly, that Ugqi hit the stone with an egg is self-destruction. Special envoy is strange, in the future, I and the Taishi will destroy and capture it, and we will send it to Daming to offer prisoners! ā
Bao Yuanqian said with a smile: "The two leaders can understand the righteousness so well is really the blessing of the people of the grassland, and it is really the blessing of the people of the two countries. ā
However, he smiled in his heart, and said that your return to the Ming Dynasty is just to annex the Mongolian orthodox tribes in Arutai in order to strengthen your own strength. If you really destroy Eastern Mongolia as you wish, the East and West are united, and a powerful and unified force rises in this steppe, then I am afraid it will not be so deferential, right?
Fortunately, they did not get their wish during the Yongle period, because this is what Zhu Di did not want to see, so in the end of Yongle Dynasty, playing the art of checks and balances, the Tatar warped head and united with the king of Warat Sanshun to beat the Tatars, and Wara warped his head personally conquered Wara, and defeated the Warat Triumvirate in the first battle of Hulan, making them obediently obedient to the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Everyone said that Zhu Di was unbeatable in "Wu Strategy", but no one noticed that Zhu Di was even more amazing in "Wen Tao", and he was even more proficient in the vertical and horizontal skills of the country.
Later generations mistakenly thought that Zhu Di was just a martial artist who could fight habitually, but they didn't know that his nickname was Emperor Taizongwen, and this text represented the core of his life and the summary throughout his life.
This alone, his grandson Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji who was blown to the sky is far inferior to Zhu Di, Xuanzong who claimed to be both civil and military in the Xuande period, actually watched Warathuan become bigger, turned a blind eye to the Tatar Arutai's plea for help, and sat back and watched the Dehuan destroy Arutai, so that East and West Mongolia achieved unification, Mongolia since the Hongwu split for more than 60 years and unification after the unprecedented, directly laid a deep foreshadowing for the change of Tumubao more than ten years later.
By the time the Mingbao Sect set out on the expedition, the total number of infantry and cavalry led by him was only more than 100,000, and the elite cavalry was only 50,000. At that time, the former Taishi, who had already unified Eastern and Western Mongolia, mobilized 130,000 elite cavalry at one time and went south to participate in the battle in two ways.
The elite cavalry of the Ming army had already been annihilated by the main force concentrated in Wara in Harrier Ridge, and the remaining soldiers were left behind, and the Ming army in the battle of Tumubao was only less than 100,000 infantry.
Coupled with the blind command of the Pig-headed Emperor and the dog-headed military division Wang Zhen, the infantry of less than 100,000 was forced to face the siege of 130,000 Mongolian cavalry, and it was wiped out in an instant. The defeat of the Ming army's civil fort was not unjust.
Bao Yuanqian looked at Ma Hamu and introduced himself to the senior officials and nobles of the Northern Yuan Dynasty on the opposite side one by one, he nodded in response, and after Ma Hamu finished speaking, he poured bitter water on Bao Yuanqian, telling about the injustice and situation on the grassland.
Bao Yuanqian took the opportunity to hear a lot of news that he urgently needed, and quietly analyzed the situation in this grassland in his heart.
The four tribes of Varat have not yet been formed, the Hoshute tribe has not yet joined the Varat Alliance, and the Varat tribe has not been divided into Dzungar and Dulbert.
Today, the strongest in the steppe is the Turgut tribe of Ugqi, and the Huite tribe of the Bald Polo.
The Hui Te Department and the Hui Ross Department jointly punched the anti-bone boy Ugqi and kicked the Eastern Mongolian Arutai, which seemed to the forest people of other tribes... Not very interested either.
In addition, the Arutai Department of Eastern Mongolia was at war with the three tribes of Warat and the common people and tribes in the forests scattered all over the country at the same time, which can be said to be even more chaotic than the Warring States of Japan.
This northwest land is even more chaotic, and there is no soil for themselves to play at all, in the words of later generations, the climate of the warlord forces has been established, and there are no more resources and interests for the emerging forces to carve up.
Unless the whale falls into all life, otherwise... It is very difficult to change the chaos in the northwest in a short period of time.
"The angel can come to Lin in his busy schedule, it seems that the internal turmoil in the Ming Dynasty has come to an end, I don't know which Son of Heaven is in your country now? Can this decree have a special word to inform my ministry? ā
Ma Hamu returned to his main seat at this time and looked at Bao Yuanqian with a smile.
Bao Yuanqian looked at the three people who looked at each other, and said in his heart that he should have come, and the meaning of Mahamu's words was already very clear, he had finished talking about this Wara, and it was time to test his "messenger".
The three of them are at the border, and even Jinyiwei knows very little about the affairs of the court, so he can only rely on himself, a nerd who came out of Shi Hai, to get by.
