This area was originally a nomadic and active area of the Horqin people.

In the twenty-first year of Hongwu (1388), the Mongol Great Khan Tugusi Timur was defeated by the army of the Ming general Lanyu in Yuerhai (now Bear Lake, Inner Mongolia) and went west. These major military defeats left the Mongol tribes east of the Great Khing'an Mountains in a situation of isolation and helplessness. They had no choice but to join the Ming court.

In the twenty-second year of Hongwu (1389), the Ming court set up Duoyan, Taining and Fuyu Sanwei in this area. Duoyanwei is in the upper reaches of the Qu Chuan Er River (referring to the Gui Leli River, a southern tributary of the Taoer River) and the area of Duoyan Mountain; Taining Wei is in the Ta'er River (now Tao'er River) basin, that is, Taining Road in the Yuan Dynasty; Fuyuwei was in the Nenjiang River and Fuyu River (now Wuyuer River) basins.

At the same time, the Ming court conferred official positions at all levels on the leaders of the three guards, and carried out entrapment and restraint. Feng Azashri is the conductor of Tainingwei, and Tabin Timur is the commander of Tongzhi; Hai Sanan replied that he was the commander of Fu Yuwei; Tulu Kuchaer commanded Tongzhi for Duoyanwei to "lead their own departments to secure animal husbandry", which was subordinate to the Ning King Daning Division.

Since the king of Yan raised troops, the court summoned three guards and horses, first stationed in the Qinglong River, at any time, and then followed Bu Wan to fight the Yan King, but before the fight, Bu Wan was eliminated with a trick, after Bu Wan was killed, Duoyan Sanwei Fu returned to the Qinglong River for a while.

Emperor Jianwen issued a decree in August to summon King Ning to Beijing, but King Ning did not obey, so he issued an order to cut his guards.

Because of this will, on the surface, Duoyan Sanwei is now not under the control of King Ning.

At noon that day, the three of them were at the junction of the Qi River and the Qinglong River, and encountered a team of Duoyan Fan riders.

There are eleven people in this team of Duoyan Clan, and when they see them from afar, they roar over, and after stepping forward, they find that all three of them are wearing armor, all of them are more elite than them, and they are the Ming army at a glance, but they don't know which Ming army it is, but they are also stunned.

Most of the eleven did not speak Chinese, but Zhu Gaoxu could speak Mongolian.

The leader would communicate with Zhu Gaochu in stammering Chinese and Mongolian for a while, and Zhu Gaoxu explained his intention and asked to see the Jurchen head of the Duoyan tribe, Saliman, and we were his old acquaintances.

Coincidentally, on the opposite side is actually the Jurchen Domain, the tribesmen of the Sali Barbarians.

They looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a strange expression.

Until Zhu Gaoxu took out an arrow, which was a token given to Huo Lichi by Sali Man, and it was also a heavy arrow unique to the Sali barbarians.

The Jurchens led them to the camp.

In less than half an hour, they came to the huge camp by the Qinglong River, where countless yurts were the same as the tents of the southern army camp under the city of Beiping.

Zhu Gaoxu took a few casual glances, and estimated that there were 10,000 or 20,000 people at the scene, but considering that the Mongols liked to bring their families on the grassland, they may not all be elite cavalry.

After a few of them walked in, they immediately caused a sensation, because Han people suddenly appeared in the Duoyanwei camp?

Many Mongols came to watch, and there were also Jurchens among them.

Most of the Jurchens and Mongols may have eaten and drunk dairy products all year round, and their bodies are taller and stronger than those of the Han Chinese.

But Zhu Gaoxu and Zhou Hu are both outliers among the Han people, very tall and strong, and the people of Duoyan Sanwei are amazed.

No, they were brought into a tent, and in it sat a young Jurchen, who should be about the same age as Zhu Gaoxu, he had a very strange style, his hairstyle was like that of a Han Chinese, and he had a hair bundle, he was wearing a Ming army's armor, his complexion was not as dark as that of other Jurchens, and his face did not have a beard.

If you don't look closely, you must think that he is a Han Chinese.

The leader of the team handed Zhu Gaoxu's arrow to the young man, bowed his head and said a few words to him, and then left the big tent.

The Jurchen man held an arrow in his hand, looked left and right, and opened his mouth in very proficient Chinese: "This heavy arrow is indeed my Amma's, but my Ama is no longer there, is Uncle Huo Lichi good?" Who are you? ”

“。。” Zhu Gaoxu didn't expect that Saliman was actually dead, and the young man in front of him was Saliman's son.

But it's okay, it's good to recognize the fire in the red, just recognize this arrow.

"I want to see Duoyanwei Commander Tongzhi Tulu Kuzar, I have important matters to discuss." Zhu Gaoxu doesn't say who he is.

The young woman was really looking at the clothes and armor on Zhu Gaochu and Zhou Hu, and when the three of them traveled, they all wore ordinary chain mail, only Zhu Gaochu still had a layer of leather armor inside.

Judging from the clothes and armor alone, it is at most a hundred households.

But whether it is Zhou Hu or not, Song Meng looked at it, and he had a fierce face, especially Zhu Gaoxu, who was tall and had a strong aura.

Suddenly, the young Jurchen's eyelids jumped, and something faintly thought.

He remembered that his subordinates had just come to remind him that the three men were from the south.

The young Jurchen put down her arrows, put her hands behind her back, and walked up and down the tent left and right, as if thinking about something.

Zhu Gaoxu was not in a hurry, and waited patiently.

Zhou Hu, who was a little uneasy, reached behind his back from time to time and touched the big axe on his back.

Just now he came in with an axe, and the Jurchens wanted him to put it down, but Zhou Hu was unwilling, and the Jurchens were not reluctant, and they probably knew that these three people did not dare to mess around in their territory.

After walking back and forth a few times, the young Jurchen seemed to have finally made up her mind.

He turned to face Zhu Gaoxu, and clenched his fists with both hands: "In Xia Wang Gou'er, dare to ask if the person who came is Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County?" ”

"Hahaha." Zhu Gaochu laughed: "This king is Zhu Gaoxu." ”

"The last general, King Gou'er, meet the king of Gaoyang County." The king dog hurried down and bowed to his head.

The so-called name of the person, the shadow of the tree, the king of Gaoyang County was famous in the north when he was young, not to mention the recent rise of the Jingyan battle.

The Jurchens worship heroes, and Wang Gou'er is even more so.

"Wait, you're the king?" Zhu Gaoxu even reacted, the person in front of him was actually Wang Gou'er?

"King Gaoyang has heard my name?" Wang Gou'er looked happy.

He is also a fierce general in Duoyanwei, but he didn't expect that even the king of Gaoyang County had heard his name, and he suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.

"General Wang's fierceness has long been heard." Zhu Gaoxu came as soon as he said it, and he was really shocked in his heart.

Because he didn't expect that Zhu Di's favorite minister in history, the personal eunuch Wang Gou'er, was actually a Jurchen.

Wang Gou'er was not a eunuch in his early years, a year ago he went out with his father and was ambushed by the enemy, his father was also killed in that battle, Wang Gou'er was injured by a stray arrow, and then he became a eunuch.

But he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, is good at riding arrows, and is a Jurchen fierce general in Duoyan Wei.

Wang Gou'er knew that the person in front of him was Zhu Gaoxu, and he admired it very much, and now at this juncture, the imperial court and the Yan army were fighting, and Zhu Gaoxu was bold, so he took the two of them to their territory.

He doesn't beat around the bush, after all, he has already had his own ideas.

"King Gaoyang is here at the right time, King Ning has already issued an order from the imperial court to cut down the domain, and he can't order us anymore." Wang Gou'er said: "But the last general knows that it is not easy to convince Tulu Huzar, what does King Gaoyang want, you must have enough to pay, if you are not ready, once the meeting fails, I am afraid it will become a bad thing?" ”

"General Wang is willing to help us." Zhu Gaoxu was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Wang Gou'er to be very talkative.

"The last general usually likes to read your Han people's books and learn to write Chinese characters, and you Han people have a saying, called lips and teeth cold." Wang Gou'er said slowly: "The imperial court will cut King Yan today, and King Ning tomorrow, and when all the kings in the north are finished, I think it will be our turn to be a foreign race." ”

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly said: "General Wang understands this truth more than King Ning. ”

"The little emperor Zhu Yunwen regards himself as benevolent, righteous and civilized, he doesn't like eunuchs, he doesn't like Jinyiwei, he doesn't like the clan, he says that the eunuchs are unreasonable, and the Jinyiwei and the clan are cruel--" Zhu Gaoxu said as he looked at Wang Gou'er's expression.

Wang Gou'er's face changed slightly when he heard this, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

Because he knew that what Zhu Gaoxu said was true, after Zhu Yunwen came to power, except for the eunuchs who were confidants since childhood, he almost didn't use other eunuchs, and even cut the Jinyi Guard.

"He still has no clan affection, oppresses my father, and we are also forced to cause trouble." Zhu Gaoxu gritted his teeth.

Speaking of this, his tone changed: "We are willing to pay a lot of money, ask Duoyan Sanwei to help, and after the matter is completed, there will be heavy thanks." ”

Wang Gou'er nodded heavily: "Delu Huchaer is greedy for money, King Gaoyang may be able to give it a try." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Gou'er took Zhu Gaoxu to find Tulu Kuchar.

Before entering the camp, Wang Gou'er whispered to him: "Tulu Kuchaer has a lot of appetite, King Gaoyang can impress him with more 'sincerity', as long as he speaks, Taining and Fuyuwei are not a problem." ”

He thought for a moment and added, "Silver alone is not enough." ”

After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, horn, Zhu Gaoxu reached out and grabbed Wang Gou'er's hands, he looked at Wang Gou'er intently with his eyes, and gently stroked Wang Gou'er's hands.

Wang Gou'er was touched by Zhu Gaoxu's wrist, and suddenly goosebumps swelled all over his body, and he looked at Zhu Gaoxu with tears and laughter.

I couldn't help but secretly think in my heart, if Zhu Gaoxu knew that I was the same as the eunuch, I don't know if I would dare to touch my hand like this.

But listening to Zhu Gaoxu's thick voice, he was full of affection like King Yan: "I don't know why, Gao Xue and the general hit it off at first sight, no matter whether this thing is done today or not, General Wang's help, Gao Xue will never dare to forget, General Wang, thank you." ”

After saying that, he shook Wang Gou'er's hand again, and then turned around and walked into the big tent.

Looking at Zhu Gaoxu's mighty walk in, the tall and strong back was as heavy and powerful as a mountain, Wang Gou'er secretly praised in his heart: "King Gaoyang, it is really powerful." ”

The tent was covered with heavy tiger and wolf skins, and even though it was a temporary station, it was customary for Tarukar to enjoy it.

He is only thirty-seven years old this year, in the prime of life, when the Ming court just divided the three guards, Tainingwei was the strongest, the most populous, and the most armored knights.

However, under the painstaking management of Tulu Kuchar, it only took less than five years for Duoyanwei to catch up and successively annex some powerful tribes, such as the Jurchen tribe where Wang Gou'er was located, making Duoyanwei's strength jump to the top of the three guards.

Now the three guards are all looking at the head of the horse, so it is impossible for Tulu Kuzar to say that he is not proud.

But he knew who was coming today, no matter how proud he was, after he hesitated again and again, when Zhu Gaoxu walked in, he immediately greeted him.

"Tuolu Kuzar pays a visit to the king of Gaoyang County."

Tarukar made a gesture to bow down, deliberately tempting.
