Huang Yi has fought side by side with Hedan Battelle, knows his temper, knows his knowledge and abilities, and has no worries about him becoming an opponent.

When Zhang Dong and Huang Dayong came back, they had already explained the process of swearing allegiance to Hedan Bater's tribe in detail.

Of course Huang Yi must give Hedan Battelle enough face.

Seeing Hedanbaatar, who was so majestic just a moment ago, he immediately jumped off his horse and walked on foot. The armored cavalry behind him also dismounted and clasped their fists in salute. They smiled, walked forward quickly and said loudly:

"Hedan Battertaj misses me so much!"

Hedanbater has worked hard to learn Chinese in the past two years, and in the past three months, he has been accompanying Zhang Dong and Huang Dayong almost every day, so his Chinese proficiency has improved greatly.

He completely understood Huang Yi's words, and he immediately laughed heartily and said: "Huang Yi Baturu, I miss you too!"

But Karitu came running and asked: "Huang Yi Batulu and Hedan Bat'er are both Taiji, have you been named King Shunyi?"

This man is a reckless man with no heart. He has been troubled by this problem during this period. He feels that Huang Yi is much better than Hedanbaatar, so he should be bigger than Taiji.

So as soon as they met, I couldn't wait to ask him the question that he had been thinking about for several months.

Where is this?

Huang Yi laughed and scolded: "Kalatubatulu, don't talk nonsense, the princes of the Ming Dynasty do not have foreign surnames!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. Isn't the fortune teller of the Tumote tribe the King of Shunyi who was conferred by the Ming Dynasty!"

Forehead! In the late Ming Dynasty, there was King Shunyi who had no sense of existence.

Huang Yi was speechless for a moment.

Hedanbaat'er said in Mongolian: "Yes! I can be canonized as Ujumqin Bu Taiji, why can't you be canonized as king? Bu Shitu is the king of Shunyi, you can be the king of Shuntian and the king of loyalty."

This Mongolian conversation was so long that Huang Yi didn't understand a word of it, so Morigen quickly repeated it in Chinese.

Become king outside the Great Wall? This is possible and will be more conducive to annexing the Mongolian tribes.

It's just that the Ming Dynasty was very stingy about titles, and would rather give them to the useless descendants of the Zhu family than to give them a foreign surname. It wasn't until the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty after the fall of the country that they would give titles to dogs and cats as long as they had soldiers.

Huang Yi said: "I am just a guerrilla general now, and I am still far away from being awarded a title!"

Karitu said: "You are far stronger than King Bu Shitu of Shunyi. Let's simply send troops to force him to give up his title as King of Shunyi."

It was a bit funny to talk about this kind of topic with this idiot. Huang Yi stopped in time and said:

"Stop talking nonsense, go to the city to drink and eat meat!"

Karitu thought of another question and said:

"Huang Yi Batulu, they didn't believe me when I said that the city was not repaired and it was just not visible from the outside! I will show them later."

Huang Yi said: "Don't look at it, it's been nearly a year, and the city has been basically completed!"

This is not Huang Yi's bragging. There is strength in numbers. The plan was to complete the construction of Xinghe City in three years. At that time, the population of the base area was less than 20,000.

The use of cement concrete to pour stone barriers is different from the use of Sanhe earth slabs. The efficiency can be increased ten times and the cost can be reduced by more than half.

Nowadays, the population of the base area has increased several times, and the newly arrived people basically work as construction workers for a few months before being assigned to other jobs based on their expertise and performance.

Therefore, not only the construction of the city was completed, but the schools, houses, and warehouses in the city were also basically completed.

Mo Rigen said happily: "Such a big city has been completed? Can we ride horses along the horse path to the North City Tower and then go all the way to the South City Gate Tower?"

Huang Yi smiled and said: "It's not easy! You also know that you can ride horses on the city."

"I've heard of it, but I've never seen it."

"Haha, if you are interested, you can take a walk on the city wall!"

Karitu immediately said: "Interested, so interested!"

Morigen told Hedanbaatar the news that the city had been completed, and asked him if he wanted to ride a horse on the city head?

To be honest, all the Mongolians present had only seen the weathered Guihua City, but had never entered it, let alone been to the top of the city. Riding horses and galloping at the top of the city could only be imagined in their dreams.

So they all clamored to see it.

Showing off the sturdiness of the city to the Mongols was conducive to demonstrating strength, so Huang Yi took the lead and asked Hedanbaatar to lead his 800 cavalry for a circle around the city.

The effect was so great that all the knights lamented that this stone city was so tall and majestic, and they all threatened that with Huang Yi personally guarding it, not even a hundred thousand men could defeat it.

Seeing that Huang Yi was so powerful, Hedanbaat'er, Morigen, Huhru, Shultu, etc. were even more unconvinced that Huang Yi was not only not a prince, but also did not even become a chief military officer.

They all threatened to lead troops to Zhangjiakou to find an official in charge of the affairs of the court to ask for an explanation!

Karitu, a fool, said something even more funny. He said that he would simply lead troops to intimidate Zhangjiakou, demand to see the Ming Emperor, and ask the emperor in person to crown Huang Yi Batulu the king.

Made everyone laugh and bend over!

Karitu didn’t understand what everyone was laughing at, so he stared and said:

"What's wrong? Today's Huang Yi Baturu can gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. If the emperor doesn't want to make him king, then he can force him to do so by entering the customs!"

Huang Yi accepted the official position in the Ming Dynasty just for the convenience of doing things and to make fewer enemies. There was no way he could be loyal to the decadent Zhu Ming Dynasty.

But Karitu's idea is naive and reckless. How could Huang Yi adopt it?

Hedanbaat'er had a good mind, and he felt that it was necessary to show his strength. Only in this way could he obtain more benefits from the Ming Dynasty for Huang Yi.

He said in Mongolian: "Now that we have strong troops and horses, we should get more. You are just a guerrilla general, and we don't accept it!"

I don’t think it’s impossible to give Karitu’s method a try! "

Mo Rigen immediately gave an overview in Chinese!

This is possible. It is impossible to seek perfection after grievances. Only the strong can stay strong.

Demonstrating force in front of Xuanda's civil servants and generals and giving them a sense of oppression will definitely make it easier for Geng Ruzhi to give Huang Yi more troops, money and food.

So Huang Yi discussed it with Hedanbaat'er, Karitu and Morigen.

In the end, it was decided to send 18 Mongolian lieutenants including Exunzhaqin, Dumbu, Yamoboli, Gubul and others to lead 1,800 Mongolian knights to mix with Hedanbaatar's troops.

Because Lin Danhan was still evil, the two armies were still confronting each other on the same front, so Geng Zhanghua could not come to see off his two sisters in marriage.

The man who sent his sister off for marriage was Geng Zhangguang, who won the Jinshi Scholarship at Chunwei High School this year.

Geng Ruqi was the happiest during this period. What made him happiest was of course that his eldest son, Geng Zhanghua, was named in the gold medal list, and he was awarded the Jinshi in the ninth place in the high school imperial examination.

There are people in the court who are interested in becoming an official. Geng Zhanghua has already entered the Hanlin Academy and served as a scholar in Wenyuan Pavilion to study and observe politics. The next step is to rise to the top.

Shujishi had no real power and his job was dispensable, so Geng Zhanghua took a month off to go home and marry his sister.
