Chapter 41: The Crisis of Warat
Everything was as Li Qing expected, and it was going to be very smooth, with a total of more than 12,000 people, which was a big gain.
With the addition of these people, it can not only stabilize those warriors who defected to the Ming Dynasty, the increase in the Mongolian population, but also has a positive effect on the subsequent recruitment of steppe tribes.
But Li Qing came to the grassland, not just for this, he also had more important things, compared to that incident, this was only a piggybacking matter.
Solving the problem of the Oarawei is the most important thing.

"Shi Biao, you don't have to wait this time, take these people back first." Li Qing said, "I still have to go to Warat, you are walking slowly with so many people, I can catch up with you quickly after I finish my work." β
This time Shi Heng didn't say anything more, Warat has always been humble to Daming, and even Tatar didn't dare to be unfavorable to Li Qing, and Warat wouldn't be like this.
The two sides have just signed a trade, and Wara is still counting on doing business with Daming, and these Shi Biao know that he has nothing to worry about.
"Okay then." Shi Biao said, "After finishing the work, catch up with the army as soon as possible, I'm quite bored alone, hurry up and teach me your hand." β
"Don't worry, I will definitely teach you when I speak." Li Qing nodded with a smile and instructed: "Those women and children will also be Ming people in the future, don't treat them badly, you have to make people full." β
"I brought so much food, and I couldn't finish it." Shi Biao nodded: "It's only serious that you come back as soon as possible." β
"Well, let's go."

The weight of one person is too light, and it is not easy to believe, so Li Qing took He Yong and his party with him.
Half a month later, the group met Warat's spies dozens of miles away from the Warat camp.
Li Qing reported his identity, and the other party briefly verified it, and then led him to the Warat camp.
After all, Li Qing only had dozens of people, and he couldn't threaten Warat at all, and for now, the Tatars didn't dare to have any thoughts about Warat.
There was no friction between the two sides, and everything went very smoothly.
In the afternoon of the same day, Li Qing and others arrived at the Warat camp.
As soon as he arrived at the place, the other party was treated with wine and meat, and then, Boyan Timur came in person.
He glanced around and found that except for Li Qing, everyone else looked like natives of the grassland, but these people were all dressed in Han official uniforms, especially He Yong, who was wearing a flying fish suit, which was particularly conspicuous.
"Are you really the people of the Ming Dynasty?" He was a little skeptical.
"It's like a fake." Li Qing nodded with a smile, "The people of the Tatar Department won't come all the way to Vara to eat and drink, right?" β
Boyan Timur was stunned, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Well, indeed, if you really want to come, you won't just come here." β
After a pause, "I don't know what you are doing here, friends, what are you doing here?" β
Li Qing wiped his oily hands, got up and said, "I'm Qincha, and the emperor sent me." β
Boyan Timur was stunned, he believed it a little, but he didn't fully believe it, it was really too small for this Qincha team, even shabby.
"How do you prove yourself?"
"I have an edict," Li Qing took out the bright yellow letter, "This is the emperor's warrant, the Ming Dynasty has just signed a trade with you, you can compare the emperor's handwriting." β
Boyan Timur stepped forward to take it with both hands, unfolded it and looked at it, he had lived in Daming for a period of time in the past, and was very familiar with Chinese characters, and he believed eighty percent at a glance.
Looking at the seal at the place of payment, I suddenly no longer doubted it.
He took a few steps back, lifted his robe and bowed down: "Minister, Ross Boyan Timur, respectfully ask for St. Ann." β
"St. Bow." Li Qing stood with his hands in his hands and replied forcefully.
Then, he stepped forward to help Boyan Timur and said with a smile: "It's better to be famous than to meet, King Shunning is really a hero." β
"Where, where." Boyan Timur smiled politely, "Qin is too famous." β
Somehow, he always had a very familiar feeling with Li Qing, as if the two had met a long time ago, but he was extremely sure that the two had never met. gΓ²ΠΉΠͺ.ΕΞg
It's weird...... Boyan Timur scratched his head, then put aside this strange thought, turned his head to the guards and said: "Go and prepare a sumptuous wine and meat, this king wants to entertain the Ming Qincha and all the Ming brothers." β
The emperors represented by the Qincha were all officials in the Ming Dynasty, and Boyan Timur naturally did not dare to slack off.
Half an hour later, hand grasp mutton, mutton soup, cheese, mare's milk wine...... The table was full.
Li Qing and Boyan Timur sat opposite each other, and Yong fought sideways to accompany them.
It's really weird, this brocade guard is a little familiar...... Boyan Timur wondered if it was bad, but it was not easy to show it, so he raised the wine bowl and persuaded him to drink.
"This king is respectful!"
"King Shunning is polite." Li Qing smiled, picked up the wine bowl and touched it with him, and drank it all.
He Yong loved mare's milk wine for ten minutes, and 'tons and tons of ......' were done.
The boldness of the two also made Boyan Timur happy, and immediately beckoned people to pour wine.
Compared with the Han people, Mongolia's wine culture is more pure, just one word - drink!
Boyan Timur and Heyong are the leaders of Warat, and the other is the former leaders of Tatars, so naturally they didn't drink much, Li Qing ...... It's a hanging, and the amount of alcohol is terrifying.
The three of them drank two large jars, until Boyan Timur and He Yong couldn't drink anymore, so they stopped.
Li Qing looked at Boyan Timur, who was red-faced but still relatively sober, and couldn't help nodding secretly, and said in his heart:
"This guy has a really good amount of alcohol, much better than his brother."
Boyan Timur was quite shocked, everyone was doing it bowl by bowl, and there was no trickery, but he was drunk for six points, but Li Qing was like a good person.
Secretly said: "Hell, I can't drink a Han man?" β
"Thank you King Shunning for your hospitality, and then, let's get down to business." Li Qing saw that he was a little unconvinced, and hurriedly got to the point.
He didn't want to drink mare's milk anymore.
Hearing this, Boyan Timur had no choice but to give up, nodded and asked, "I don't know what His Majesty the Emperor wills?" β
"It's not a will, Ben Qincha is here on the order of the emperor to relieve the siege of Wara." Li Qing said with a smile.
"Break the siege of Warat?"
"Yes, it seems that the situation in Warat is good now, but in fact...... What a crisis! Li Qing sighed, "With the development and growth, the contradictions within Warat are also intensifying, and I think King Shunming is also having a headache about this, right?" β
Boyan Timur was stunned for a moment, then startled, and then clasped his fists upwards with both hands, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty the Emperor is wise! β
He looked at Li Qing and sighed: "It's not a secret, the headquarters... There were indeed some hiccups. β
Li Qing shook his head with a smile: "King Shunning is really a master of art and bold, this will be a big deal soon, but in your eyes, it is a small problem, it seems that King Shunning does not need Ben Qin's help." β
"The tail is too big to fall?" Boyan Timur was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, "There are some problems in the headquarters, but they are not as serious as Qincha said. β
The officials of the Ming Dynasty really like to make a big fuss, or maybe they want to take the opportunity to rip off the bamboo, so I have to be on guard...... Boyan Timur thought secretly, and the wine was a little gone.
Unexpectedly, Li Qing's next words made him completely drunk.
"Warat is not treated well by the Mongols, the number of Warat headquarters is too small, and now there is a risk of taking the lead, and with the growth, the power of Warat headquarters will eventually be swallowed up by local forces."
Li Qing said categorically: "The current situation is not only tricky, but also almost unsolvable;
The Ming Dynasty has signed a large trade with you, you will become richer and richer, and with the accumulation of wealth, your need for force will further increase.
If you do not accept the scattered forces of the steppes who have come to take refuge, they will unite, or they will be integrated by the Tatars and attack you, who are so rich;
And if you accept them, the power of the Warat headquarters will gradually decline, and eventually it will be swallowed up. β
Li Qing sighed and said: "In such a dangerous situation, King Shunning actually said that it was a small problem, and King Shunning was really a hero, and Ben Qincha admired it." β
Saying that, he stood up, "Originally, the emperor was still worried about the disaster of Wara, but now it seems that the king of Shunning has already made a bamboo in his chest, and he is worried about it." β
He Yong also stood up, arched his hand at Boyan Timur, and was about to leave with Li Qing.
"Chin is slow and slow!"
Boyan Timur hurriedly stopped, cold sweat on his forehead, he knew that there was a problem, but he didn't expect the problem to be so serious.
Now that Li Qingyi said it, he realized how serious the situation was, it was simply ...... It's a matter of life and death.
Da Ming is so terrifying that he can see it so thoroughly thousands of miles away, even farther than me, the leader of Warat...... At the same time, Boyan Timur was terrified, but also shocked.
He swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help but think of his father's last words: Son, you remember, you will be loyal to the Ming Emperor in the future!
Thinking of this, Boyan Timur couldn't take care of it, and hurriedly grabbed Li Qing's arm, and said ashamedly:
"This king is stupid, don't be surprised, and ask Da Ming to help Warat for the sake of his loyalty."
Li Qing was stunned for a moment, and then said with a straight face: "Since King Shunning is not sure to solve the problem, then ...... Daming help you. β
"King Shunning rest assured!" Li Qing's face was magnificent, and he said generously: "I, Daming, will never abandon the courtiers who are loyal to me!" β
Great Ming righteousness...... Boyan Timur held Li Qing's hand, and was so moved that he was about to cry.
Boyan Timur is still a simple person...... Li Qing held his hand with a sincere expression.
