Mobei Khan Court.

Ugqi Hashkha has been living in regret every day since he became Khan.

He felt that he should not be called Khan during such a period, and even if he wanted to call Khan, he would have to wait until the situation in Dayuan stabilized.

But there is no regret medicine in the world, he has not only called Khan, but also sent a letter of state to the Ming Dynasty in the name of Dayuan Khan, and now it is too late to regret it.

Fortunately, the leaders of the tribes on the grassland are quite smart, and they know that the current Da Yuan is in danger and may overturn at any time.

As a result, despite their discontents, they can maintain peace on the surface and obey their commands.

It's just that a few tribes in the east, because they are too far away from the Khan's court, have a faint tendency to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty.

Ugqi Hashha didn't want to pay attention to it, and felt that it was already his limit to be able to guard the current one-third of an acre.

The only thing to be happy about after saying Khan may be the news from Haohaida's side.

According to the messenger who returned, there was a high probability that the Timurid Empire would also send troops to help. Once the Great Yuan won the power of the two khanates of Timur and Chagatai, the Golden Horde would inevitably join the alliance.

After all, for the four khanates, the Ming was the real enemy.

Only by solving the Ming Dynasty can they have time to compete for who is the overlord of the grassland.

On this day, Ugqi Hashha rode a horse to inspect, and happened to see a few herdsmen driving thousands of cattle and sheep on the way, so he couldn't help but stop his horse and ask.

"Where are you going?"

Although Ugqi Hashha did not identify himself, the herdsmen still saw that this person's identity was not bad, and stepped forward to reply respectfully.

"If you go back to the master, the little one is going to drive the cattle and sheep to spend the winter."

"Winter?"

Ugqi Hashha laughed when he heard this.

"Yes, winter is coming!"

"As long as winter comes, we won't have to be afraid of the Ming cavalry anymore, hahaha!"

The herdsmen looked at the inexplicably happy Ugqi Hashiha, and only felt inexplicable.

Winter can block the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, but it can also block the growth of grass and trees!

With so many cattle and sheep, how can they live without forage?

Ugqi Hashha was in a good mood, rewarded each herdsman with a pot of wine, and then continued on his way.

He is going to welcome a person, a person who has returned from the Ming Dynasty.

Chang Jizu escorted the envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to the edge of the desert, and watched them walk into the desert with his own eyes, so he turned his horse and left.

However, no one noticed that there was a young man in the envoy team, looking back at them with deep eyes.

Seeing that there were no Ming troops around, the envoy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty said to the young man on the side.

"Lord Taiwei, how should we reply to the Khan when we go back?"

Maham shook his head indifferently when he heard this.

"How else can I reply, of course, I answered truthfully."

"Answer truthfully?"

"Of course!"

"Daming has no intention of making peace, we can only choose to fight!"

"Oooh......"

The envoy of the Northern Yuan fell silent for a while, and Mahamu fell into boundless chagrin.

When he infiltrated the envoy group, he used a trick, and he went to Daming as a deputy envoy.

In his mind, when His Majesty the Emperor Ming summons the envoys, he will definitely bring him as a deputy envoy, right?

However, what surprised him was that people didn't pay attention to him at all, and even the envoy was tied up by the Ming soldiers to go back.

It can be said that when he sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, not a single strategic intention was achieved, and even the grandson of the Ming Emperor did not see it!

Mahamu and his party struggled through the desert and returned to the edge of the Northern Yuan Khan's court, when they happened to meet with Ugqi Hashiha's team.

Ugqi Hashha enthusiastically stepped forward to hug Mahamu, and kept asking him about what he had seen and heard about this trip.

Mahamu reluctantly told what happened to him, which caused Ugqi Hashha to be quite depressed.

"So, you haven't even seen the face of the grandson of the Ming Emperor?"

"yes......"

"Who would have thought that he didn't play his cards according to common sense and didn't want to talk to us at all......"

"However, it can't be said that I haven't seen it at all, when I was in Naturalization City, I once saw the grandson of the Ming Emperor from afar."

Ugqi Hashha asked with concern on his face.

"How?"

Mahamu said solemnly.

"It is indeed extraordinary, and the subjects everywhere they go are spontaneously saluted, and it is the kind of support that comes from the heart!"

"It can be seen that the grandson of the Ming Emperor has already taken root in the hearts of the military and the people, and has won their unanimous support!"

"This ......"

Ugqi Hashha's heart sank when he heard this, and he felt that Dayuan's last hope was gone.

"Anything else you have discovered?"

"Yes!"

"There are a lot of Yuan people in Naturalization City, and many of them even buy goods in Naturalization City and then transport them to the grassland to sell!"

"What surprised Weichen was that the officers and soldiers and people of the Ming Dynasty were not surprised by this, and did not show the slightest rejection and contempt."

"When Weichen was walking on the road, there were often people from our Yuan who took the initiative to talk to us and persuade us to stay in Daming and serve the imperial grandson of Daming."

Ugqi Hashha frowned when he heard this, and said with displeasure.

"What are they trying to do?"

Maham pursed his lips disdainfully.

"Naturally, it's a reward!"

Weichen also met an acquaintance Anda, and this is what came out of his mouth. It is said that the grandson of the Ming Emperor had an order to persuade a Dayuan person to surrender, and the Ming Dynasty rewarded fifty acres of pasture. If you don't want pasture, you can change to a lele cart and ten ewes! ”

The so-called Lele cart is the ox cart used by the Northern Yuan people to pull tents. This thing is not worth much in the Ming Dynasty, but it is hard currency in the Northern Yuan.

A Lele cart can be exchanged for dozens of sheep, or seven or eight cows.

Because of the lack of tall trees in the grassland, coupled with the simplicity of processing tools, it is very time-consuming and laborious to make an ox cart.

Therefore, for the people of the Northern Yuan, every Lele car is precious.

When Ugqi Hashiha heard this, he couldn't help but secretly speak.

"Da Ming is really willing to spend his blood!"

"According to Daming's gameplay, there is no need to send troops to attack us, delay for three or five years, and the herdsmen under our hands will run out!"

"Who said it wasn't, but Daming seems to be determined to fight us, and he won't leave us any time!"

After Mahamu said this, he took out the national letter of Daming from his sleeve and respectfully handed it to Ugqi Hashiha.

After taking it, Ugqi Hashha looked at it quickly, and his face changed suddenly after reading it.

"Too much deception!"

"If it is in accordance with the requirements of the Ming Dynasty, our Beiyuan will not exist in name, and it will not exist in fact!"

This time, Mahamu didn't agree, just sat lightly on the sidelines, waiting for Ugqi Hashha's choice.

Ugqi Hashha pointed in the direction of Daming and scolded, and then hung his head helplessly.

"Alas!"

"Who would have thought that our Dayuan could fall into such a situation and be ridden on the head and by those Southern Barbarians of the Ming Dynasty......"

Maham said with a sad face when he heard this.

"Great Khan, let's fight!"

"Even if you can't beat Da Ming, you have to break one of Da Ming's teeth!"

Ugqi Hashha waved his hand sadly when he heard this.

"Can't fight!"

"We only have this bit of family foundation left, if we fight it out, Dayuan will never be able to turn over!"

"Besides, winter is coming, I don't believe that the Ming people dare to cross the desert in winter to fight us!"

When Ugqi Hashha said this, a smug smile finally appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Mahamu also laughed.

"The Great Khan is right!"

"We are sitting on a natural barrier, and it is not so easy for Da Ming to fight us!"

Ugqi Hashha immediately gave an order to Mahamu.

"After you go back this time, you will do your best to organize the herdsmen to spend the winter, be sure to be fair and just, and don't let any tribe feel that you are being mistreated!"

Hearing this, Mahamu nodded and said.

"Understood!"

"Wechen must make everyone can't make mistakes!"

While the two were discussing how to survive the winter, on the other side of the grassland, three groups of cavalry were slowly marching towards the Northern Yuan Khan's court.

Fu Youde led the men and horses from east to west, and Feng Sheng led the men and horses from the southeast to the northwest.

Chang Sheng led the most elite 100,000 cavalry, marching quickly between the two, acting as the main force in this crusade against the Northern Yuan.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Yunxi vetoed Lan Yu as the main force, because he had already set the main candidate, that is, his own maternal uncle Chang Sheng!

Chang Sheng's founding dukeship, but he lost it when he avenged himself. As a nephew, I have to give him a chance to make meritorious service no matter what.

Behind Chang Sheng, there were two auxiliary forces with a number of 50,000 troops, who attacked the scattered Beiyuan tribes around them while ensuring the logistics supply of Chang Sheng's main force.

After arranging these things, Zhu Yunxi has been stationed in Guihua City, commanding the battle remotely through the telegram of the army, while paying attention to the movements west of the Tianshan Mountains.

The biggest problem of this Northern Expedition was not the Northern Yuan, but the three khanates in the west. Of the three khanates, only the Timurid Empire posed the greatest threat to the Ming Dynasty.

As long as Timur did not send troops, Lan Yu's 100,000 men did not have to move.

But would Timur miss this opportunity?

Although Zhu Yunxi was very worried about the war situation on the front line, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, he still stepped on the train back to Jinling to accompany Lao Zhu for the New Year.

After all, for Lao Zhu, this year may be the last year of his life.

After entering the winter moon, there were several snowfalls on the grassland, but each snow was not large.

Even if some of the grass is covered with snow, if you drive the sheep out, you can always arch the dead grass out of the snow.

The herdsmen were happy, but the rulers of the Northern Yuan were full of sorrow.

Because of such a winter, it seems that it can't stop the Daming Iron Horse?

Seeing that it was snowing heavily this winter, Ugqi Hashiha immediately ordered someone to call Mahamu back.

Since returning to the grasslands, Mahamu has been busy distributing pasture to herders and pacifying tribal leaders.

Suddenly hearing the call of Ugqi Hashha, he hurriedly put down the affairs at hand and rushed back to the Khan Court.

"Meet the Great Khan!"

"The Great Khan summoned Weichen at night, but what happened?"

Ugqi Hashha shook his head when he heard this.

"No big thing has happened yet, but Ben Khan always feels like something big is coming......"

When Ugqi Hashha said this, he glanced around, and the guards and attendants in the Golden Horde all withdrew, and called Mahamu to his side.

"Sit down and come closer to me......"

Hearing this, Mahamu hurriedly bowed forward, and then sat down next to Ugqi Hashha.

"Great Khan, please!"

"Mahamu, how is Ben Khan doing?"

Hearing this, Ma Hamu hurriedly started an emotional performance and rubbed his reddish eyes.

"The Great Khan has recreated the kindness of Wechen's father and son, and Wechen will never forget the kindness of the Great Khan!"

Ugqi Hashha smiled slightly when he heard this, he didn't believe Mahamu's nonsense.

But he thinks he is good to this child, and has always trusted him very much, and has also given him a lot of reuse.

"Good!"

"Ben Khan now gives you an important mission!"

Hearing this, Mahamu's heart tightened and asked worriedly.

"What task?"

Seeing this, Ugqi Hashha smiled heartily, and patted Mahamu's shoulder encouragingly.

"Don't be nervous, young man, it's a good thing......"

"Ben Khan has decided to entrust you with all the military and political power of the Four Guardians!"

"Huh?"

When Mahamu heard this, he was directly stunned.

He never thought that Ugqi Hashha would dare to hand over the military and political power of the four Vetalas to himself!

You must know that the reason why Da Yuan can still exist is because of the tribal power of these four Vetera.

It can be said that whoever holds the military and political power of the Four Guardians is the master of the true sense of the Great Yuan!

However, Mahamu quickly reacted and hurriedly kowtowed.

"Please take back your fate!"

"Wechen is loyal to the Great Khan and has never had the heart to replace!"

"Da Yuan can't live without Great Khan!"

"The Great Khan will always be the master of the steppe!"

After Mahamu said this, he only felt a chill on his back.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have been chopped by the axe hand by now, right?

Just when Mahamu thought he had a plan, Ugqi Hashiha sighed.

"You don't have to doubt that Ben Khan really wants to entrust Siwei Tra to you!"

"And they're all elite knights in their prime!"

"This?"

When Mahmu heard this, his face was confused.

He could hear Ugqi Hashha's sincerity, but he couldn't figure out why Ugqi Hashha was so sincere.

"Great Khan, you are ......"

Ugqi Hashha smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"Ben Khan entrusts you with all the young and strong soldiers of the four Vetera, once the iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty comes, you don't want to fight, let alone think about returning to the army to rescue, go all the way to the west, escape to the Golden Horde, or Timur's cripple, as long as you remember that you are the descendants of Genghis Khan, our Great Yuan will never die!"

Hearing this, Mahamu was ashamed of his villain's heart just now, and at the same time worried about the safety of Ugqi Hashiha.

"Great Khan, if Wechen takes all the elites away, then what will you do......"

Ugqi Hashha pointed to his gray beard, and said helplessly.

"I'm so old that I can't run even if I want to."

"I will surrender with the old, weak, sick and disabled of Dayuan!"

"Isn't Da Ming always boasting of being a teacher of benevolence and righteousness?"

"If the Great Ming allows us, you will wait for an opportunity to rescue us in the future."

"If Da Ming kills us all, you will find an opportunity to avenge us in the future!"
