Chapter 441 Joint Operation
Qinghai Lakeside
The ecology around the huge Qinghai Lake is even more beautiful than in later generations. The fertile grasslands nurture the cattle and sheep that live on this land.
After the death of Lin Dan Khan, Ezhe became the nominal Great Khan of Mongolia, but even so, his Chahar tribe had to flee thousands of miles to avoid attacks from the Qing army and Horqin Balin and other tribes.
"Great Khan, envoys from the Ming Dynasty are here."
Ezhe had just seen off the envoys from the Qing Kingdom, and now the envoys from the Ming Kingdom came again. He couldn't help but frown: "What are they going to do?"
Wanhu Abu Dan was Ezhe's crony and the main supporter of Lin Dan Khan when he was reincarnated. Hearing this, he said: "Great Khan, the war between the Qing Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom is now like a raging fire. The war between the two sides is in the Ming Kingdom." When things were going on in the country, even Nurhaci tried their best to win over Xian Khan when he was there, not to mention that the relationship between Xian Khan and the Chongzhen Dynasty was still harmonious."
E Zhe nodded thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense, let's take a look first before talking."
The envoy to Chahar was Qianhu from Dongchang. After entering the sweat tent, he clasped his fists and saluted Ezhe, who was sitting on the khan seat, and said loudly: "Zuo Jie, a Qianhu from Dongchang in the Ming Dynasty, has seen Ezhe. sweat..."
Abu Dan said sternly from the side: "Even the Qing people would kneel down on one knee when they saw my great Khan. How dare you, a small Dongchang household with thousands of households, to despise my Mongolian majesty?"
Zuo Jie raised his hand towards Abu Dan, and then said with neither humility nor arrogance: "I am the envoy of the Ming Dynasty. When Lin Dan Khan was reincarnated, he was also a subordinate of our Ming Dynasty. According to the relationship between Ming Dynasty and Mongolia, the Mongolian Khan was also a county of our Ming Dynasty. Just a king."
"Bold..." Abdan shouted harshly, and within the reach of his voice, several strong Mongolian men entered the sweat tent and glared at Zuo Jie.
Zuo Jie turned around and looked around, and sneered: "Humph, you want to scare me? People in my Dongchang factory are not the ones to be scared."
Although the Dongchang is newly built, it recruits sergeants who have been trained in Qingpu. Even the team leader is from the Dongchang in Beijing. He also studied in the Whampoa Military Academy system, not to mention Zuo Jie, who has such a high status. A high-ranking Qianhu official.
Zuo Jie said again: "Ezhe Great Khan, I came to Qinghai on the emperor's order. I did not just reminisce with the Great Khan in this sweat tent. His Majesty the Emperor recently re-established the slave Tatars in Xuzhou, twice north of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. After the battle, more than 300,000 enemies were killed. His Majesty the Emperor sent his own officials here to inform the Great Khan, asking the Great Khan to mobilize 100,000 Mongolian cavalry at the beginning of the year, from outside the pass to the east, to attack the Horqin and Bahrain together with our army. "
Ezhe half-squinted his eyes. The news brought by the Dongchang Thousand Households in front of him was really shocking. The content of every sentence he said was very dense. Abudan also looked at Ezhe, and Ezhe said: "We don't have a hundred thousand soldiers and horses."
Zuo Jie sneered, cupped his hands towards Ezhe and said: "Great Khan, before this trip, I was entrusted with the Holy Ming to bring two sentences to Mongolia. One of the Holy Edicts: In the second year of the Apocalypse, Lin Dan Khan's troops agreed to send a hundred thousand troops to attack in a pincer attack. To build slaves, he finally sent 20,000 people to linger around the Great Wall, resulting in the defeat of Guangning. Lin Dan Khan had unshirkable responsibility, and I don’t blame him. Now our army of millions is stationed south of the Yellow River and is waiting for the opportunity. Going north to expel the Tartars, the Chahar tribe must cooperate with our army to attack the Mongolian rebel king Horqin and the Balin tribe, and prevent the Jiannu from retreating westward. After this is accomplished, I will make Ezhe the Mongolian County King, and he will be hereditary. ;"
As he spoke, Zuo Jie stared into E Zhe's eyes and said word by word: "Second: If the Chahar tribe rebels or is unwilling to send troops, after the establishment of the slaves, there will be no Mongol Khan..."
Every word, every sentence was heart-breaking. Hearing Ezhe's heart break out in a cold sweat, Abu Dan was about to scold him, but Ezhe immediately stopped him and said, "Does Mr. Zuo know that the Qing envoy just left a few days before you came?"
Of course Zuo Jie knew, but he was pretending not to know at this moment: "Oh, that's good luck for him, otherwise I would kill him here and make him unable to go back;
Why, Ezhe Khan is going to cooperate with the Jiannu Tatars? "
"Hahaha..." Ezhe laughed loudly, stood up and came to Zuo Jie and gave Zuo Jie the Mongolian courtesy of hugging Zuo Jie and patting Zuo Jie on the back repeatedly: "Master Zuo has come all the way. Khan hasn’t given you Jie Feng yet. After the Jie Feng banquet tonight, I will immediately discuss with everyone in our department and I will definitely give an explanation to Mr. Zuo as soon as possible."
Zuo Jie clasped his fists again: "I understand the good intentions of the Great Khan, but our army is about to take action, and we cannot wait for one more day. I will leave Qinghai and return to Nanjing before sunset today. I also ask the Great Khan to discuss with his troops as soon as possible. Resign."
Abdan stood up and said in a hateful voice: "This guy is too arrogant. He doesn't meet many people. He's a big sweat. I'll kill him right now."
"Crazy?" Ezhe immediately stopped Abu Dan's crazy idea, and then said: "Immediately summon all the households to come to the sweat tent for discussion."
Zuo Jie still waited until evening to see E Zhe again, but there were more people in the sweat tent than during the day, at least twenty people.
"Ezhe is sweating profusely, but there is a result?"
E Zhe nodded, and Abdan was the first to speak: "Zuo Qianhu, after discussing with his tribe, my great Khan feels that now is not the time to fall out with Horqin and other tribes and the Qing Dynasty."
Zuo Jie nodded to himself, then clasped his fists: "I understand, Ezhe Khan, see you later. I will have a showdown with the warriors of the Chahar tribe on the battlefield someday."
After saying that, Zuo Jie turned around and left, but Ezhe called out to him: "Zuo Qianhu, walk 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 sarcastic look on his face: "In the battle of Huai'an, our army captured Daishan, the puppet king of Jiannu, alive. I wonder if the Great Khan knew about it?"
Daishan's name is popular in Mongolia, but like Amin, they are in an uninhabited territory in Mongolia.
Seeing Ezhe in a daze, Zuo Jie continued: "In the battle of Xuzhou, my Emperor killed the puppet king Abatai. I wonder if the Great Khan knew about it?"
What? The two princes and Nurhachi's son knew that Abatai was a ruthless man who would scare the Bahrain tribe.
Zuo Jie sneered and shook his head: "My Emperor is right, the Mongolians are accustomed to adapting to the wind. If you don't give them some real means, they really don't know how to write the word "death".
"presumptuous..."
"Minggou, come and fight me alone..."
"kill him..."
"Yes, Khan, kill him..."
Every household in the account was so stimulated by Zuo Jie that they demanded to be killed in anger. Zuo Jie just looked around at everyone who was shouting, and then shook his head sarcastically: "If the Holy One hadn't said that Chahar could fight for it. , I have to exchange this life for everyone in your account today."
As soon as these words came out, the whole tent immediately fell silent, and then a roar of ridicule broke out, and some ugly taunts came to their faces. Zuo Jie and the four Dongchang fans behind him all looked at each other, and the five of them showed contempt one after another. smile.
The five of them all carried revolvers on their backs, and it was very easy to kill them.
Ezhe stood up, stretched out his hand to signal his subordinates to quiet down, and then said: "Did the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty ask you to come as an envoy to cooperate, or did you come here to show off your power?"
Zuo Jie said: "The Holy One said before he left, you cannot destroy the backbone of my Ming Dynasty, let alone you are still a Mongolian tribe? Great Khan, you stopped me and didn't say other things, but your tribe wanted to kill us, my officer But I don’t have that much time to continue to linger here. If you don’t take action, I will take the people away.”
After saying that, Zuo Jie and the other five turned around and left the tent. A soldier hurriedly ran into the tent and spoke into E Zhe's ear. After a while, E Zhe turned pale with shock and immediately exclaimed: "Send someone to chase him immediately." Envoy from the Ming Dynasty, hurry up..."
After saying that, Ezhe simply ran out and said, "No, Ben Khan will go there himself."
The people in the middle of the tent saw the sweat in such a panic and didn't know what the visitor said to him, so they had to run out together without knowing what was going on.
The horses of Zuo Jie and others were not fast. He did it on purpose, because he knew that it was only a matter of time before the news of Xuzhou's victory reached Qinghai. He was confident that he could be chased back by E Zhe even halfway, so he brought A dozen people walked very slowly on the road, as if they were riding horses for a walk.
Sure enough, Fan Zi behind him rode his horse to Zuo Jie and said, "Sir, the Mongols are coming."
Zuo Jie's heart moved, and then he sneered. Not long after, he saw hundreds of horses rushing towards him. The leader was actually the Great Khan Ezhe, so he clasped his fists and said, "The Great Khan is so polite, I'll see him off in person."
"Hahaha..." Ezhe laughed loudly on purpose, rode his horse to Zuo Jie and said, "Don't be angry, Zuo Qianhu. We Mongolian warriors have always cherished warriors, so we deliberately created this situation in the tent, just to Let’s test Zuo Qianhu’s courage and ask Zuo Qianhu not to worry about anything. No, Ben Khan will come here in person and invite Zuo Qianhu back for a drink. Everything will be easy to discuss.”
Zuo Jie crossed his arms and said with a smile: "The Great Khan is very polite. I have told you that whether you succeed or not, you must leave now so that you can go back and tell His Majesty. Does the Great Khan know that these temptations of your subordinates almost ruined the future of Mongolia?" .”
If Zuo Jie had said these words before, E Zhe would have just continued to regard them as a way of showing off his power. But now that he knew the specific situation, some cold sweat broke out on E Zhe's forehead unconsciously, but he couldn't care less at the moment. In order to maintain his dignity as the Great Khan, he laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, Zuo Qianhu, don't worry, this Khan has decided to agree to the request of His Majesty the Ming Emperor..."
Zuo Jie interrupted E Zhe: "It's not a request, it's my Majesty's request..."
"Yes, yes, request. Our department is willing to send 50,000 troops to jointly carry out the task."
Zuo Jie shook his head: "Great Khan, there are 170,000 households in the Chahar tribe. Your Majesty has said that Chahar must go all out this time. It must be 100,000 people. Otherwise, there is no need to discuss anything."
Ezhe's desire to support himself with troops was seen through. He thought about it for a moment, then gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, I agree to send 100,000 troops..."
"Sweat profusely..."
"Sweat profusely..."
E Zhe raised his hand to signal his subordinates to be silent: "Please Zuo Qianhu go back and tell His Majesty the Emperor that the Chahar Department is willing to obey the orders."
Zuo Jie laughed and clasped his fists: "Ezhe is sweating profusely, I'm going to take my leave..."
After Zuo Jie left, Abu and other important ministers gathered around and asked why they agreed to the Ming Dynasty's request. E Zhe shook his head and looked at the retreating figure: "The news just came that the Ming army defeated Hauge's 600,000-strong army in Xuzhou... ."
The sound slowly drifted away with the wind in the grassland...
