For this reason, it was impossible for Zhu Shenzui to refuse Burigude's words.
Hearing the happy news later, he thanked Burigude for the arrangement and readily agreed.
After seeing Zhu Shenzui's agreement, Burigude was very happy, and the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.
Burigude's people temporarily settled in the Erisi tribe. As the master, Erisi asked the tribesmen to slaughter cattle and sheep to entertain Burigude and his party.
Although Burigude came to gather troops, his arrival also caused the youth of the tribe, including his own son and grandson, to leave his side and go to the battlefield where life and death were unknown. But the Great Khan gathered troops, which Erezi simply could not refuse, and Burigude was only the executor, and the real decision-maker was Lin Dan Khan.
Entertaining Burigude and his entourage was also what Erris had to do. Even though he was filled with worries about his relatives about to go to the battlefield, he still managed to work up the energy to do this on the surface.
First, according to Mongolian customs, the tribal people were recruited by Burigude. Next, there is a high possibility that these people will be commanded by Burigude. In this case, treat Burigude kindly, and the same He is also kind to his own people, and hopes that he can take care of them on the battlefield in the future out of this kindness.
Secondly, this is probably the last sumptuous dinner in the tribe for the tribesmen who are about to go on an expedition. When the sun rises again tomorrow, they will leave the tribe and embark on an unknown journey. People will die in war. No matter who they are fighting, the lower the status of the Mongolian, the higher the possibility of dying in battle.
Erisi is a veteran who has fought in the war, so of course he understands this truth. Therefore, entertaining Burigude is also a chance for our tribesmen to get together with their relatives for the last time, let them have a good meal, say goodbye to their relatives and embark on the journey without any worries.
As the sky gradually darkened, a bonfire was set up in the camp, and the fragrantly roasted whole lamb and large pieces of boiled meat were brought out one by one. Everyone sat around, cutting the meat with the knives in their hands, and drank the koumiss with salt. Eating and drinking.
The same is true for Zhu Shenzui and others, but compared with others, Zhu Shenzui's treatment is much higher. He, Erisi and Burigude are together. Ma Shizhou and other guys went to the other side. This arrangement was considered a higher etiquette among the Mongols. Zhu Shenzui expressed some fear about this.
Perhaps because of the previous praise, Burigude had a very good sense of Zhu Shenzui. Although Erezi seemed a little sad because his son and grandson were about to leave, he still kept his spirits up and warmly entertained the two guests.
While eating and drinking, Zhu Shenzui couldn't help but make insinuations and ask why the Khan gathered his troops this time. After all, the war between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia has never stopped. Although the two sides have become much more harmonious in the past two years, who can guarantee that this will happen? Wasn't it because Lin Dan Khan gathered troops to target the Ming Dynasty?
"Hahaha, don't worry, the gathering of troops by the Great Khan this time has nothing to do with your Ming Dynasty." Burigude laughed and said, he understood Zhu Shenzui's concerns in his inquiry. After all, Zhu Shenzui was from the Ming Dynasty.
Cut off a piece of meat with a knife, dip it in some salt, throw it into your mouth, chew it a few times, and then swallow it with the kumiss. Wiping his mouth, Burigude smiled and said: "The east has not been peaceful in the past few years. After the wild boar skin in Jianzhou fought with your Ming Dynasty, they are now jumping up and down very lively. The Great Khan is very dissatisfied with this old guy... ….”
"So, the Great Khan is gathering troops to attack Jianzhou this time?" Zhu Shenzui was slightly stunned, but at the same time he felt a little happy. Last year, the Ming Dynasty was defeated in Sarhu, and now the situation in Liaodong has finally stabilized after Xiong Tingbi took office.
Xiong Tingbi was a capable minister and an outstanding person. After arriving in Liaodong, he stabilized his position with the support of the emperor. He gradually reversed the bad situation after the initial defeat by relying on the Ming Dynasty's much stronger national power than the Hou Jin Dynasty and appropriate coping measures.
Xiong Tingbi's steady attack in Liaodong left Nurha with no choice but to bite the turtle. After several small-scale collisions, the Ming army gained a slight upper hand.
Now, the situation in Liaodong is much better than before. Although the huge losses after the Battle of Sarhu are still there, and the strength of the Ming army in Liaodong is not as good as before, even so, Xiong Tingbi still completed the initial tasks assigned to him by the emperor. The overall situation gradually improved, while secretly accumulating strength to prepare for future counterattacks.
In this case, it would be a good thing for Ming Dynasty if Lin Danhan sent troops to Liaodong.
Over the years, the relationship between Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty has been considerably eased, and the two sides have even resumed the horse trade that had been suspended for a long time. The reason why this happened was because of the sudden rise of Hou Jin. After the rise of Nurhachi's Hou Jin, he began to unify the various Jurchen tribes. His power developed very rapidly and posed a threat to the Ming Dynasty, including Mongolia.
Especially in the Battle of Saerhu, the Later Jin Dynasty defeated the Ming Army, which caused a huge shock. It is no exaggeration to say that this battle shocked the whole world. Since Lin Dan Khan succeeded to the throne, he has always followed Genghis Khan as an example and intended to restore the glory of the old Mongol Empire.
In these years, Lin Dan Khan set out to unify all Mongolian tribes, strengthen himself, and regain the glory of his ancestors. The rise of Hou Jin made Lin Dan Khan very uncomfortable, and since he succeeded to the throne, Lin Dan Khan failed to gain any advantage in the successive wars between the Mongols and Hou Jin, and even suffered considerable losses.
Just last year, Lin Danhan sent a letter to Nurhaci. In the letter, he called himself the "Lord of 400,000 Mongolians" and called Nurhaci the "Lord of 30,000 people by the waterside." The letter contained arrogance and contempt for Hou Jin. It's obvious.
After Nurhachi won the Battle of Sarhu, Hou Jin's strength suddenly increased a lot. Under such circumstances, Lin Danhan regarded Hou Jin as a threat and formed an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. It was also very difficult for him to mobilize troops against Hou Jin. Normal choice.
So when Burigude mentioned Jianzhou, Zhu Shenzui's spirit suddenly lifted. If Lin Danhan and Ming Dynasty joined forces to fight Houjin in Liaodong at this time, with Xiong Tingbi's vision and talent, even if they could not completely reverse Sarhu The disadvantage after the war can at least take this opportunity to inflict heavy damage on Houjin.
"Attacking Jianzhou? No, no, no, what the Great Khan wants to fight is not Jianzhou, but this old thing called Chaohua."
"Fried flowers?" Zhu Shenzui was stunned. He was still talking about Lin Danhan's dissatisfaction with Nurhachi. Why did he suddenly become rich instead of making money?
Zhu Shenzui, the person who fried flowers, knew that before going to the grassland, Zhu Shenzui carefully inquired about the information on the grassland. Although the information was not complete, he still knew some about the general situation of the forces on the grassland. Coupled with what Ma Shizhou told him, Zhu Shenzui also knew about the major forces in the grassland, including this fried flower.
Chaohua is the master of Inner Khalkha, which is divided into two parts. One part is Outer Khalkha, located to the north of Lindan Khan's Chahar headquarters, and the other part is to the east of it, located in Chahar and Horqin. It is the transfer center of Houjin's sphere of influence in Liaodong, to the north of Ming Dynasty.
The Inner Khalkha tribe was not strong before, but it gradually grew in strength in the early years of Wanli. The initial leader was Subahai, who was later killed by Li Chengliang for invading Liaodong. After Subahai died, Chaohua took over his brother's power. , became the leader of the Nekalkha tribe.
Chaohua, like Lin Danhan, is a member of the Borzhijin family and a descendant of the Jin family.
However, after Chaohua became the lord of Inner Khalkha, his relationship with Lin Dan Khan was not good, and there were frictions between the two parties. In recent years, with the growth of Houjin, the Nei kalkha tribe and Houjin, which are adjacent to Houjin, have fought many times, but they won less and lost more. Because of this, in order to preserve his power, Chaohua chose the same method as Lin Danhan, and began to have good relations with Ming Dynasty. The relationship between the two parties gradually eased, so as to use Ming Dynasty's power to fight against Hou Jin.
But last year, Nurhaci defeated the Ming army in Sarhu. After this war, Jin's strength greatly increased. Nurhaci, who suddenly swelled, took advantage of the Ming army's great loss in strength in Liaodong to attack everywhere and seize a lot of territory.
Soon after, Nurhaci personally led troops to attack the Inner Kharka tribe. As an old slave who had read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and was educated, how could he allow others to snore next to the so-called couch? He understands this truth.
Without the support of the Ming Dynasty, the Neikalkha tribe was no match for him. Nurhachi suddenly launched an attack, won a great victory, and directly chopped off the head of Zaisai, the great nephew of the speculator.
Zasai is not only Chaohua's great-nephew, but also one of the five lords of the Inner Khalkha tribe. The entire Inner Khalkha region is divided into five divisions, also known as the five camps of Inner Khalkha.
These five battalions are the core military strength of the Inner Khalkha tribe, and they are also the basis for Chaohua to become the leader of the tribe. As one of the five lords, Zasai held the important and excellent Mongolian cavalry of the Inner Kalkha tribe. However, who would have thought that in one battle, not only was he defeated by Nurhachi's Houjin army, but Zasai himself became a The devil under the sword.
The Zasai tribe was defeated and the Nei Khalkha army was severely damaged. Nurhaci continued to advance despite the victory. After several battles, Chaohua was unable to parry and complained incessantly.
Chaohua hurriedly asked Lin Danhan for help, hoping that Lin Danhan would reach out to help his brother for the sake of being a member of the Golden Family, but who would have thought that Lin Danhan simply ignored him after receiving the request for help and continued to play music in the Golden Tent? He continued to dance without any thought of sending troops.
After waiting for more than a month, Lin Danhan's reinforcements were not seen. Hou Jin's aggressiveness became more and more fierce. Seeing that he would lose all his capital if he continued to fight, the desperate Chaohua gritted his teeth and made a request directly. An act of lowering oneself to Houjin.
Although they have gained an absolute advantage on the battlefield, the territory of the Inner Khalkha tribe is not small, and this is the territory of the Mongols. Although the Houjin is powerful, the Jurchens do not have many people, and it is impossible to directly occupy such a large territory. Swallow it all.
Considering these factors, Nurhaci did not even think about wiping out Nekalkha in one battle. His purpose in launching this war was to take advantage of Nekalkha, and by the way, in the Battle of Sarhu After Nei Khalkha lost the support of the Ming army, it used war to promote peace and completely get rid of this uneasy old neighbor.
Seeing that Chaohua was defeated by him and begged to surrender, Nurhachi was overjoyed and agreed generously. But at the same time, he also made a request, that is, in the future, the Inner Kharkah tribe must form an alliance with Houjin, and the two sides will join forces to deal with the Ming Dynasty.
The situation is far stronger than the people. In the past, Chaohua was able to fight Hou Jin with the support of Ming Dynasty, but now that Ming Dynasty was defeated in Liaodong, this big brother is no longer reliable. Even his own Chahar headquarters did not rescue him. Lin Danhan, a bitch, was gloating at his misfortune and watched as he and Nurhaci fought to death. If this continued, the Inner Khahar tribe would be completely finished.
A man who knows the current affairs is a hero, so Chaohua agreed to Nurhachi's request without hesitation, and even took his own grandson as a hostage and took the initiative to send back the money. In this way, the war between Nekarkha and Houjin ended in this way. Nurhaci conquered the Nekarkha tribe with military force and gained an important ally.
