Chapter 381: Eloquent and strategic, full of lies
Once upon a time, she was also an aspiring heroine.
In order to rid the steppe from years of war and regain the glory of Genghis Khan's time, she did not hesitate to get involved in the whirlpool of internal Mongolian strife.
It's just that she is a daughter after all, but she is destined to be unable to end the war and strife like a man, and she resolutely supports the last bloodline of the Golden Family.
Although she appeared on the battlefield with Dayan Khan, who was only four years old, every time, this was to allow Dayan Khan to gain experience and establish enough prestige for Dayan Khan.
After more than ten years of hard work, although she has not achieved her long-cherished wish of unifying Mongolia, she has also created a relatively good situation.
Especially in the change of foreign policy, she chose to enter the honeymoon period with the Ming Dynasty, with the help of Ming Dynasty iron pots and cloth and other items to resist natural disasters such as cold winters.
Even not long ago, their Northern Yuan only needed to send troops to crusade against the Alchuka Department for the Ming Dynasty, and they could get a large amount of ordnance and materials from the Ming Dynasty.
If it continues like this, the living conditions of the people of their Northern Yuan Dynasty will become better and better, and their strength will naturally rise.
It's just that all of this was destroyed by the hands of the little man he had carefully cultivated, and he chose to make a complete break with the Ming Dynasty at the most inappropriate time.
However, this man is still full of lies, and in order to shirk his own mistakes, he even lied a lot, and even fabricated that the Ming Dynasty and the Haixi Jurchens joined forces to ambush them.
The result?
The Ming army marched north to fight the Haixi Jurchens according to their earlier deployment, and they treacherously withdrew and looted the Ming ordnance and supplies, leaving the Ming army in a critical situation.
The Emu Department and the Huifa Department even stabbed the Ming army from behind, but the Ming Dynasty won the victory with its strong military strength, and even more forcefully incorporated the three places into Jianzhou.
Although the Ming army won the final victory, their loss of trust was also an ironclad fact, and it also put the Ming army in a crisis for a time. As a result, Dayan Khan lied that the Ming army and the Haixi Jurchens had joined forces to lay out, which was another blatant slander and lie.
Dayan Khan felt a cramp in his heart and shook his head in disbelief: "No...... No way! Without the help of our Dayuan cavalry, he ...... How could he defeat Alchuka, how could he still occupy the territory of Emu, Huifa and Alchuka? ”
"The population of Daming is 80 million, and the military has been developing over the years, even the granary of Datong is several times stronger than before, and today's army is no longer what it used to be! If it weren't for Yi Kexi buffering in it, do you really think that Da Ming wouldn't dare to use war against our Da Yuan? Man Duhai found that the man he had cultivated was too narrow-sighted, and shook his head in disappointment.
Although the Ming Emperor did have some small actions to help the Ming Dynasty and other departments, if the Ming Dynasty chose to conquer their Northern Yuan, their Northern Yuan regime, let alone unify Mongolia, would definitely fall apart in the face of such a strong enemy.
The most favorable outcome now is to maintain the status quo, silently strengthen oneself, and then find an opportunity to annex the Pykeli and other ministries to complete the reunification.
Now the Ming army has taken Haixi Sanwei at a lightning speed, although this speed is indeed shocking, but this is the inevitable result of the Ming army.
In the general ledger, the atmosphere at this time seemed very depressing.
Dayan Khan is still unwilling to accept the fact that the Ming Dynasty is powerful, but he thinks that Manduhai is actually defending his son-in-law: "The Ming officials are all greedy for life and afraid of death, and there are no good generals in the army, as long as the Ming army dares to step out of the pass, we will be annihilated!" The reason why Emperor Daming married Yi Kexi was not because he was afraid that our Dayuan would wash Datong with blood? ”
"Emperor Daming married Yi Kexi, not because they were afraid of our Dayuan, but because this was the best thing to do at that time. Don't you forget the battle of Weininghai, you almost died there, do you really think that the Ming army is weak? Manduhai didn't think that the Ming Emperor was afraid of them when he greeted Yi Kexi, and reminded with a hatred of iron.
In fact, what she is most afraid of is not the now solid nine-sided granary, nor the increasingly powerful Ming army, but the son-in-law she has never met.
The war between the two sides was actually on the verge of breaking out, but the appearance of Yikexi gave the two sides an opportunity for a peaceful settlement, and the Ming Emperor seized it.
At that time, it was actually not good for both sides to go to war.
Their primary goal of the Northern Yuan was to unify the Mongolian steppes, and if they continued to wage war with the Ming Dynasty, they would inevitably fall into an even more chaotic war situation. And the Ming Dynasty is actually equally unfavorable, after all, the emperor has just ascended the throne, and the battle out of the customs will exacerbate the casualties of the Ming Dynasty, which will be a war of attrition.
The Ming Emperor's marriage to Yikexi alleviated the contradictions between the two sides and promoted trade between the two countries.
In the ensuing relationship, the emperor not only showed friendly assistance, but also secretly supported the tribe of Cikeli and others, showing the resourcefulness of an excellent emperor.
Of course, many things are actually appearances, and the Ming Emperor was not blinded by the superficial peace, and secretly created the Night Department to infiltrate the interior of Mongolia.
The Ming army was not weak in the first place, and now the Ming Dynasty ushered in such an eloquent emperor, which is the most terrifying thing about the Ming Dynasty.
The Battle of Weininghai?
Dayan Khan's body suddenly trembled slightly after hearing about this battle, and a painful memory was suddenly revealed.
That year, their Khan court was transferred to Weininghai. Because they knew that it was impossible for the Ming army to take the initiative to get out of the fortress, no one would think that there was any harm here, so they sang and danced there.
It's just that the sun of that day was suddenly blocked by clouds, and a Daming iron cavalry seemed to fall from the sky, killing him from the eastern hillside towards the sweat tent where he was.
Everywhere they went, their men were slaughtered, and blood stained the green grassland.
If he hadn't been mistaken for an ordinary Mongolian child, he would have almost died tragically under the knife of the Ming army, but it would be impossible for him to have his current self.
Dayan Khan also remembered the posture of the famous Wang Yue, and realized that he had indeed underestimated the Ming Dynasty and misjudged the strength of the Ming army.
Although there are indeed many commanders in the Ming army who are greedy for life and afraid of death, there are also fierce commanders like Wang Yue. Back then, he slaughtered 3,000 soldiers in Datong, and it was true that he was not very powerful, but Datong removed Wang Yue and Wang Zhi.
Once the Ming Emperor knows how to make good use of people, the Ming army is undoubtedly a very terrifying existence, and his own army may not be able to bargain in Datong.
Combined with this information, and then re-examine the war on the Haixi side, with the strength of the Ming army, it is really possible to take the Haixi Sanwei, although the speed of this annexation is incredible.
In the general ledger, the oppressive atmosphere has reached a critical point, and the breathing has become slow.
"Why did Yi Kexi suddenly assassinate the Ming Emperor, you have to give me an explanation!" Manduhai didn't want to waste his tongue anymore, but was worried about his daughter's situation.
In fact, she has always attached great importance to her son-in-law's opponent, and when her son-in-law sent members of the night department to infiltrate the Mongolian steppe, she also sent some personnel to secretly hide in Beijing City to listen to information.
Just now, she actually learned that her daughter had assassinated the Ming Emperor. If it weren't for the fact that she was not from the Ming Dynasty, with such a rebellious act, she and Dayan Khan would have been linked.
At this moment, although she is very worried about her daughter's situation, she also wants to find out the reason first, and the most suspicious person is Dayan Khan, who also controls the connection system with the capital.
Dayan Khan's greatest wish now is to complete his revenge on the Ming Emperor, but he shook his head innocently and said, "Hatun, Yi Kexi assassinated the Ming Emperor?" Ben Khan really doesn't ...... Ignorance! ”
At the end of the day, he no longer endured his injuries, and deliberately held his breath to induce an uncomfortable throat and cough, and as a result, he let out a violent coughing sound smoothly.
Since he grew up watching Manduhai's face, he knew this old woman better than anyone else, but he knew that she would care about her body very much.
His physical condition is indeed very bad, because the beloved sharp weapon penetrated his body twice, but the sharp weapon was still smeared with poison. If it weren't for his good physical foundation, I'm afraid that the corpse would have been transported back a few days ago.
Despite this, his body has also run out of oil, and it may be difficult for him to survive this hurdle, and he even suspects that the other party deliberately dragged his body back.
The two Mongolian girls who were serving with them looked very nervous, one helping Dayan Khan pat him on the back, and the other kneeling in front of Dayan Khan.
Dayan Khan felt a dizziness in his mind, and in the continuous coughing sound, he coughed up a mouthful of black blood into the spittoon next to him.
Wow wow wow......
The cute baby boy in swaddling clothes was affected by the coughing sound, but suddenly burst into tears.
"You take Ah Yu and step back first!" Man Duhai saw his son crying, but he was still a mother, so he instructed the nurse.
The nurse is a big-breasted woman with a beautiful posture, and she obediently retreated when she heard the words.
Manduhai was indeed very suspicious of Dayan Khan's doing, after all, he was the only one who could activate the contact with his daughter, but seeing Dayan Khan's direct denial, and now Dayan Khan was seriously injured and dying, there was no need to target the Ming Emperor again, but he knew that he probably misunderstood him.
It was at this time that Zhiyuan Tongha hurriedly walked in from outside, and reported very excitedly: "Great Khan, just now the news came back from the old capital, our plan has succeeded, and the Ming Emperor is seriously injured and dying!" ”
Cough......
Dayan Khan heard the words of this pig teammate, and his coughing, which had already eased, suddenly became more violent.
This time, he didn't pretend, but he was so frightened that he couldn't stop coughing, and he secretly cursed this fool a hundred times in his heart.
At the end of his cough, he felt a foreign body come out of his throat and coughed up the lobes of his lungs into the spittoon.
At this time, Manduhai's attention was not on Dayan Khan's body at all, but he looked at this Xing Chong with a cold face to report
Men of the "Good News".
"Huh? See Hatun! Zhiyuan Bucket Ha came in and saw Man Duhai with an angry face, and was dumbfounded, and then hurriedly saluted.
Manduhai's face was already dark, but he suppressed the anger in his heart.
She found that she had always been too good to Dayan Khan, and even overly favored, but Dayan Khan had obviously become a treacherous person who told many lies, and her impression of him was still in his innocent stage.
It's just that the earlier lies are harmless, but now the repeated deception has made her finally see that this man who was pulled and raised by herself since childhood has become the biggest scourge.
Breaking with the Ming Dynasty will make the entire Northern Yuan people fall back into the dilemma of shortage of living materials, and prompting Yi Kexi to assassinate the emperor will put his daughter in danger and the two countries will have a grudge since then, which is what he expects from the Great Yuan Holy Lord?
"Hatun, if the Ming Emperor does not die for a day, it will be difficult for Dayuan to prosper, and this Khan is for Dayuan!" Dayan Khan saw that the matter had been revealed, but he played the emotional card.
Manduhai was too lazy to look at Dayan Khan again, and asked angrily: "If the Ming Emperor dies, the Ming Dynasty and we will have a feud." Not to mention the unification of the grassland, it is difficult to even protect yourself, don't you even understand this? ”
In fact, she had noticed that Dayan Khan was jealous of the Ming Emperor earlier, after all, compared with the Ming Emperors of previous dynasties, the current Hongzhi Emperor is really much better.
As for Ikxi marrying the Ming Emperor, this also increased Dayan Khan's jealousy.
She originally thought that men would inevitably be stingy, and even thought that this was conducive to stimulating Dayan Khan's fighting spirit, but she never expected that Dayan Khan would want to assassinate the emperor again without telling him.
What broke her heart the most was that Dayan Khan did not hesitate to put her daughter in a desperate situation, and even cut off her daughter's life, which made Beiyuan lose the possibility of rising.
In the past, the relationship between the Northern Yuan and the Ming Dynasty could be close and sometimes sparse, but once they assassinated the Ming Emperor, then as long as the Golden Family was in power, there would be no room for peace talks.
"Hatun, Ben Khan is wrong, but Ben Khan is really for the great cause of Dayuan!" Dayan Khan knew what Manduhai cared about the most, so he offered the way of national righteousness.
Manduhai has never been a woman with a love brain, and when she saw Dayan Khan's lies, she completely saw through Dayan Khan's hypocrisy.
This man's so-called ambition is actually just an excuse for his selfish approach, and he even wants to break with the Ming Dynasty at the expense of the life and death of the people.
Manduhai understands his daughter's character, and it is unlikely that he chose to assassinate the Ming Emperor for the assassination of Dayan Khan: "Barrel He, why did Yi Kexi assassinate the Ming Emperor, you tell the truth as it is!" This is your only chance to save your dog's life! ”
At this moment, she is no longer Dayan Khan's virtuous helper, but the Iron Lady Manduhai who once made the entire grassland talk about tigers.
"The Great Khan activated the contact point in the capital and passed the false news that you were assassinated by the Emperor's Night Department to Princess Ixsi, who should want to avenge you." Zhiyuan Bucket Ha felt the murderous aura on Manduhai's body, and looked cautious.
Dayan Khan saw that the matter had been revealed, and was about to cry and ask for forgiveness by hugging Manduhai's thighs like he did when he was a child, but suddenly his eyes went dark.
When Manduhai walked out of the gate of the general ledger, he suddenly cried, and then laughed again, but he never came to the sweat tent again.
Wow wow wow......
The baby seemed to know something, but suddenly burst into tears.
A few days later, Dayan Khan died at the age of seventeen. (End of chapter)
