Chapter 441: Joint Operations

Qinghai Lakeside

The ecology around the huge Qinghai Lake is even more beautiful than that of later generations, and the fertile grassland is pregnant with cattle and sheep living on this land.

After the death of Lin Dan Khan, Ezhe became the nominal Great Khan of the Mongols, but even so, his Chahar tribe had to flee thousands of miles to avoid attacks from the Qing army and the Korqin Balin and other tribes.

"Great Khan, there is an envoy from the Ming Kingdom."

Ezhe had just sent away the envoy of the Qing Kingdom at the previous time, and now the envoy of the Ming Kingdom came again, and he couldn't help frowning: "What are they doing here?" ”

Wanhu Abdan is a close confidant of Ezhe and the main supporter of Lin Dan Khan when he was reincarnated, and when he heard this, he said: "Great Khan, now the war between the Qing State and the Ming State is like a raging fire, and the war between the two sides is staged in the territory of the Ming State. ”

Ezhe nodded thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense, let's take a look first." ”

After entering the sweat tent, he saluted Ezhe who was sitting on the sweat seat, and said loudly: "Zuojie of the thousand households in the east factory of Daming, I have seen Ezhe Khan..."

Abu Dan said sharply on the side: "Even if the Qing people see my Great Khan, they also kneel on one knee, do you dare to despise my Mongolian majesty as a small Dongchang thousand households?" ”

Zuo Jie bowed his hand towards Abdan, and then said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "In the next is the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, that is, when Lin Dan Khan is reincarnated, it is also a subsidiary of my Ming Dynasty, according to the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia, the Mongolian Khan is also the county king of my Ming Dynasty." ”

"Bold..."Abdan scolded sharply, and as far as the sound could reach, several Mongolian strong men entered the sweat tent and glared at Zuo Jie angrily.

Zuo Jie turned his head and looked at it, and sneered: "Hmph, you want to scare this official?" The people in my Dongchang are not scared. ”

Although the East Factory was newly built, all the sergeants recruited had been trained in Qingpu, that is, the team leader was a former Beijing Dongchang person, who had also studied through the Huangpu Military Academy system, not to mention Zuo Jie, a high-ranking Qianhu official.

Zuo Jie said again: "Ezhe Great Khan, this official came to Qinghai on the emperor's order, but he is not with the Great Khan in this Khan tent, His Majesty the Emperor has recently recreated the slave Tatars in Xuzhou, and the Yellow River and the Yangtze River have killed more than 300,000 enemies in two battles, His Majesty the Emperor sent this official to inform the Great Khan, asking the Great Khan to start 100,000 Mongolian cavalry at the beginning of the year, from the outside of the Guanwai to the east, and our army together to attack the two parts of Horqin and Bahrain. ”

Ezhe half-squinted, the news brought by the thousands of households in Dongchang in front of him was too shocking, and the content and information in every sentence he said were very close, and Abdan also looked at Ezhe, and Ezhe said: "I don't have 100,000 military horses. ”

Zuo Jie sneered, and arched his hand towards Ezhe: "Great Khan, before this trip, this official Feng Shengming brought two words to Mongolia, one of the oracles: in the second year of the Apocalypse, Lin Dan Khan's department promised to send 100,000 troops to attack Jiannu, but finally sent 20,000 people to wander around the Great Wall, resulting in the defeat of Guangning, Lin Dan Khan has an unshirkable responsibility, I don't blame him, now our army is a million troops south of the Yellow River waiting for the opportunity to go north to expel the Tartars, and the Chahar Department must cooperate with our army to meet the Mongolian rebel king Horqin and Bahrain. Prevent Jiannu from retreating westward, and after the matter was completed, I became the king of the Mongolian county, hereditary replacement; ”

Saying that, Zuo Jie stared at Ezhe's eyes, and said word by word: "Second: if the Chahar tribe is rebellious or unwilling to send troops, after Jiannu, there will be no Mongolian Great Khan..."

Word by word, sentence by sentence, hearing Ezhe's heart break out in a cold sweat, Abdan was about to open his mouth to scold, but Ezhe immediately stopped: "Lord Zuo, do you know that the envoy of the Qing Kingdom just left a few days before you came?" ”

Of course Zuo Jie knew, but he pretended not to know at the moment: "Oh, then count him lucky, otherwise this official will kill him here, so that he can't go back;

What's the matter, is the Great Khan going to cooperate with the Jiannu Tartars? ”

"Hahaha..." Ezhe laughed, got up and came to Zuo Jie to give Zuo Jie a Mongolian high etiquette, hugged the big gift, and patted Zuo Jie's back again and again: "Lord Zuo came from afar, Ben Khan has not yet picked you up, and after the banquet tonight, Ben Khan will immediately discuss with everyone in our department, and will definitely give Zuo an explanation as soon as possible." ”

Zuo Jie clenched his fists again: "The Great Khan has good intentions, but now our army is about to act, I can't wait for one more day, and the official will leave Qinghai and return to Nanjing before sunset today, and I also ask the Great Khan to discuss with the people as soon as possible and retire in the next day." ”

Abdan got up and said hatefully: "This guy is too arrogant, he doesn't have many people, Great Khan, I will kill him." ”

"Crazy?" Ezhe immediately stopped Abdan's crazy idea, and then spoke: "Immediately summon ten thousand households to sweat the tent." ”

Zuo Jie still waited until late afternoon to see Ezhe again, but at this moment there were more people in the sweat tent than during the day, at least twenty people.

"Ezhe Khan, but there is a result?"

Ezhe nodded, and Abdan spoke first: "Zuo Qianhu, after discussing with the subordinates, I feel that now is not the time to turn against the Horqin and other ministries and the Qing State. ”

Zuo Jie nodded to himself, and then clenched his fists: "This official knows, Ezhe Great Khan, there will be a period in the future, and he will compete with the warriors of the Chahar Department on the battlefield." ”

After speaking, Zuo Jie turned around and left, but Ezhe stopped him: "Zuo Qianhu walks slowly." ”

Zuo Jie turned around again: "What else does the Great Khan have to explain?" ”

"Zuo Qianhu doesn't want to know Ben Khan's idea?"

Zuo Jie laughed, with a mocking face: "In the Huai'an War, our army captured Jiannu and the pseudo-king Daishan, I don't know if the Great Khan knows?" ”

Dai Shan's name is good in Mongolia, and like Amin, they are in a no-man's land in Mongolia.

Seeing that Ezhe was stunned, Zuo Jie continued: "In the battle of Xuzhou, His Majesty the Emperor of my family beheaded the puppet king Abatai, I don't know if the Great Khan knows? ”

What? The two princes, the son of Nurhachi, they don't know, Abatai is a ruthless person who is afraid of the Bahrain department.

Zuo Jie sneered and shook his head: "His Majesty the Emperor of my family is right, the Mongols are used to being people who see the wind and rudder, and if they don't give them some real means, they really don't know how to write dead words." ”

"Presumptuous..."

"Minggou, come and fight me alone..."

"Kill him..."

"Yes, Great Khan, kill him..."

The ten thousand households in the tent were stimulated by Zuo Jie one by one, and they asked to kill themselves with righteous indignation, Zuo Jie just looked around at everyone who shouted, and then shook his head mockingly: "If it weren't for the saint who said that Chahar could fight for it, this official would have to exchange this life for everyone in your account today." ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole tent was immediately quiet, and then there was an earth-shattering laugh, what ugly mockery came to the face, Zuo Jie and the four Dongchang fans behind him all glanced at each other, and the five of them showed a disdainful smile.

All five of them had a revolver on their waists, and it would have been easy to kill them.

Ezhe stood up, stretched out his hand to signal his subordinates to be quiet, and then said, "Did the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom ask you to come to the envoy to cooperate, or did he come here to show off his might?" ”

Zuo Jie said: "The Holy Lord said before leaving, you can't fall into the backbone of my Ming Dynasty, not to mention that you are still a Mongolian tribe?" Great Khan, stop me and let my subordinates want to kill me, but this official doesn't have so much time to continue grinding here, if you don't do it, this official will take people away. ”

After saying that, Zuo Jie and the five people turned around and walked out of the big tent, a personal soldier hurriedly ran into the big tent, and whispered in Ezhe's ear, and after a while, Ezhe was shocked, and immediately exclaimed: "Send someone to chase the envoy of the Ming State immediately, quickly..."

After speaking, Ezhe simply ran out: "No, Ben Khan will go in person." ”

The people in the tent saw that they were so flustered, and they didn't know what the person had said to him, so they had to run out with them.

Zuo Jie and the others' horses were not fast, he was deliberate, because he knew that it was only a matter of time before the news of Xuzhou's victory came to Qinghai, and he was confident that he could be chased back by Ezhe even if he was halfway, so he walked very slowly on the road with more than a dozen people, like a horse walking.

Sure enough, Fanzi behind him rode a horse to Zuo Jie's side: "My lord, the Mongols are chasing after you." ”

Zuo Jie's heart moved, and then he sneered, and after a while, he saw hundreds of horsemen galloping over, and the leader of the team was actually the Great Khan Ezhe, so he hugged his fists and said: "The Great Khan is really polite, come and send it in person." ”

"Hahaha..."Ezhe deliberately laughed loudly, rode his horse to Zuo Jie's side and said: "Don't be angry with Zuo Qianhu, my Mongolian warriors have always cherished warriors, so I deliberately set up this situation in the tent, just to test Zuo Qianhu's courage, please Zuo Qianhu don't be worried, no, Ben Khan came in person, please Zuo Qianhu go back to drink, everything is easy to say." ”

Zuo Jie clasped his hands to his chest and said with a smile: "The Great Khan is polite, I said that I have to leave now if I succeed or not, so that I can go back and tell Your Majesty that the Great Khan knows that these temptations of your subordinates almost ruined the future of Mongolia." ”

If Zuo Jie said these words before, Ezhe would only continue to regard it as a kind of show off of his might, but now after learning the specific situation, Ezhe unconsciously broke out in some cold sweat on his forehead, but at this moment he couldn't care much, in order to maintain his face as a great khan, he laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Zuo Qianhu don't worry, this Khan has decided to agree to the request of His Majesty the Ming Emperor..."

Zuo Jie interrupted Ezhe's words: "It's not a request, it's a request from His Majesty..."

"Yes, yes, yes, our department is willing to send 50,000 troops to work together."

Zuo Jie shook his head: "Great Khan, there are 170,000 households in the Chahar Department, Your Majesty said, Chahar must go all out this time, it must be 100,000 people, otherwise, everything is not to be discussed." ”

Ezhe's desire to support the army to protect himself was seen through, and after thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, Ben Khan agreed to send 100,000 troops..."

"Great Khan..."

"Great Khan..."

Ezhe raised his hand and signaled his subordinates not to make a sound: "Please go back and tell His Majesty the Emperor that the Chahar Department is willing to obey the dispatch." ”

Zuo Jie laughed and clenched his fists: "Ezhe Khan, the lower official has resigned..."

After Zuo Jie left, Abu and other important ministers surrounded him and asked why he agreed to Mingguo's request, and Ezhe shook his head and looked at the figure in the distance: "The news just came, the Ming army defeated Haoge's 600,000 army in Xuzhou..."

The sound drifted away slowly with the wind of the grassland...
