At this time, on the grassland of the front banner of Otok, inside Bagan's commanding tent.
After confirming the news that a large amount of grain and grass were hoarded in Longnan, Gansu, the leaders no longer had any objections to Bagan's decision to attack Longnan.
As Zhao Junchen deduced, the Mongolian coalition forces now seem to be overwhelming and aggressive, but in fact they are in a desperate situation with no way out. If they cannot plunder enough food and grass in the Ming Dynasty, then there is no need for the Ming Dynasty If they counterattack and retaliate, they themselves will decline during this cold winter.
Therefore, they have no choice but to attack the city and seize food. Even if they know that the Shaanxi-Gansu-Longnan region must be heavily guarded now, and it may even be a trap, they still have to jump in!
However, after deciding on the direction of the attack, the leaders soon started arguing again.
The core of the dispute is the distribution of benefits after the matter is completed.
In the big tent, Bagan showed a trusting attitude, his expression was full of sincerity, and said to Qiegemu: "Brother Qiegemu, this is what happened. In order to plunder enough food and property, the Junggar army is about to attack Move troops westward to attack the Longnan region of the Han people, but there is a large amount of food and grass stored there, so it must be heavily garrisoned and heavily guarded. I hope that the Mongolian right-wing tribal coalition can share some of the pressure on the warriors of the Junggar Khanate and take the initiative to attack the Yulin army of the Han people. Town, and divided the troops to harass the Han people at Huamachi Camp and various state capitals!
In this way, the Han people will inevitably be overwhelmed and will not be able to provide much support to Longnan. The Junggar warriors will have a much easier time attacking the city... Of course, the Junggar Khanate and the tribes on the right wing of Mongolia are now one and the same, so naturally they will not I will treat you badly... Let's do this. After the incident is completed, I will give you 30% of the food, property, and slaves plundered by the Junggar Khanate. How about it? "
Naturally, Siegmu would not agree to Bagan's proposal.
Not to mention whether Bagan would default on the debt afterwards or manipulate the amount obtained from the robbery. Only 30% of the robbery harvest was too little!
So, Zigmu sneered: "Only 30%? Isn't Chief Bagan too generous? Do you know how many tribes and warriors we have on the right wing of Mongolia?"
Bagan was good-tempered this time, and discussed in a gentle manner: "Brother Qigmu, you have to know that our Junggar Khanate has now occupied the entire Western Region and Qinghai, and the places that need food and grass are only more important than your Mongolian right-wing tribes. More! What's more, in this operation, your Mongolian right-wing tribal coalition only sent troops to harass, but our Junggar army is trying to break through the Han city. It will definitely be a hard battle, and there may be heavy casualties, so we should be allocated More... Of course, I also know the difficulties of the Mongolian right-wing tribes, so how about... I will give you 40% after the matter is completed, how about it? "
However, in response to Bagan's friendly talk, Qigmu's smile became colder: "Chief Bogen, do you really think I am a fool? Before this, our Mongolian right-wing tribal coalition was responsible for holding back the main force of the Han border troops. , and you are sending troops everywhere unscrupulously to plunder, and we have already suffered a lot. We only tolerate it because of the relationship between the two parties. But if leader Bagan is greedy, our Mongolian right wing will not tolerate it again and again. !”
At this point, without waiting for Bagan to explain, Qigmu continued: "Chief Bagan, don't think that I don't know your thoughts. After conquering the Han people's city, how much did your Dzunggar Khanate plunder? Aren't you the one who has the final say as to how much food, how much property, and how many slaves? At that time, our Mongolian right-wing tribe will apparently be given 40% of the harvest, but who knows how much is actually shared? Leader Bagan If you think that our Mongolian right-wing tribal coalition has contributed too little and cannot get more, then our Mongolian right-wing tribal coalition can contribute more! In addition to sending troops to harass the Han state capitals, our Mongolian right-wing tribes will also send more Fifteen thousand warriors will join with your Junggar army to attack the Han people's Longnan area of Gansu Province, but our Mongolian right-wing tribes will share half of the final loot!"
Hearing what Zigmu said, a trace of anger and murderous intent flashed across Bagan's eyes. The expression on his face that was full of flesh became more ferocious, and his heart became even more angry!
Of course, Zigmu did expose Bagan’s wishful thinking!
According to Bagan's idea, after plundering the Han people's food, grass and property, it was very generous to finally distribute two achievements to the Mongolian right-wing tribes!
However, considering that the Junggar Khanate still needed the Mongolian right-wing coalition to share the pressure, Bagan still forced himself to endure it and just gave a wink to the other leaders in the tent.
In the large tent, in addition to Bagan, the leader of the Junggar Khanate, and Qigmu, the envoy of the Mongolian right-wing tribal coalition, there were seven or eight other people present. Most of these people were the leaders of the servant army of the Junggar Khanate.
Among them, there is a middle-aged man with a very different appearance, with a high nose, deep eyes, yellow hair, and bluish eyes. He is the leader of the Kazakh cavalry, Abai Haidar.
After the Junggar Khanate conquered the Kazakh Khanate, some Kazakhs continued to resist and refused to obey, but there were also some people who were willing to become the minions of the Junggar Khanate and followed the Junggar Khanate to invade everywhere, and the Abaihai Dahl is one of the representative figures.
This time the Junggar Khanate came to plunder the territory of the Ming Dynasty. In addition to the 25,000 direct troops, there were also 30,000 servants. Among them, the Kazakh cavalry, Yarkand cavalry, and Chagatai cavalry were the largest. , each with six or seven thousand people.
After seeing Bagan's eyes, Abai Haidar couldn't wait to express his position and said: "Ziegemu, don't forget that leader Bogen led the troops to the Mongolian grassland this time to fully represent the Great Galdan. Khan! His attitude is that of the Great Khan Galdan. You Mongolian right-wing tribes have expressed their surrender to the Great Khan Galdan, so naturally you have to obey the orders of leader Bagan! Could it be that you, the right-wing Mongolians, want to resist the powerful Junggar Will the Khanate succeed?"
Abai Haidar is not proficient in Mongolian, and there is always a strange and strange tone when speaking.
As Abai Haidar finished speaking, Su He, the leader of the Chagatai cavalry, also echoed his words, his tone full of threats, saying: "Brother Qigmu, your attitude is too tough. I hope you can Considering the harmonious relationship between the Junggar Khanate and the Mongolian right-wing tribes! The warriors of the Junggar Khanate are invincible. Chief Bagan has already given you enough face. If you make further progress, you Mongolian right-wing tribes may not get any benefits! "
Amul, the leader of the Yerkang cavalry, was an old man with a gloomy expression. At this time, he said sullenly: "Yes, Qiegemu, pay attention to your attitude! Even your father Qiyan Siqin would not dare to talk to him. Chief Bagan said this! You have many tribes and warriors on the Mongolian right wing. Do we have fewer warriors from Kazakhs, Yarkands, and Chagatai? Don’t we need to share some food? Chief Bogen is willing to share it with you. Forty percent is already very generous!”
Compared with Bagan's repeated forbearance, the attitudes of these three servant army leaders were much tougher.
In fact, compared to Bagan, these three people are indeed more dissatisfied with Ziegemu's tough performance.
In the view of the three of them, the major tribes on the right wing of Mongolia, like the Kazakhs, Yarkands, and Chagatai, have all surrendered to the Junggar Khanate. They are also second-class members of the Junggar Khanate. Facing the Bagan leader When you are young, you should be servile, but you should be much more noble than those small tribes and small khanates.
However, Qie Gemu acted as if he were on an equal footing with Bagan, as if the right-wing Mongolian tribes were also superior to others, which inadvertently hurt the "self-esteem" of Kazakhs, Yarkands, and Chagatai.
Therefore, the three of them were quite aggrieved.
Seeing the speeches of several servant army leaders, Zigmu's expression was full of disdain, and he hummed: "Although the Mongolian right-wing tribes have regarded Galdan Khan as their co-leader, this does not mean that our Mongolian right-wing tribes have The tribes deserve to starve to death and freeze to death!... Let's do this. Our Mongolian right-wing tribal coalition will send 15,000 troops to join you in attacking the Han people's Gansu Longnan region, but the Junggar Khanate will give us 45% of the food, grass and property. The slaves only need 30%, which is the bottom line of our Mongolian right-wing tribe. If the leader of Bagan continues not to agree, then our Mongolian right-wing tribe coalition will no longer cooperate with you and will have to act alone!"
Having said this, Qigmu glanced at the three servant army leaders from the corner of his eyes, and emphasized: "Unlike those lost dogs, our Mongolian right-wing tribal coalition has the ability to act alone! Before the emergence of the Junggar Khanate, we did this every year !”
Hearing Qie Gemu's naked sarcasm, the three servant army leaders suddenly became furious and were about to fall out.
But at this moment, Bagan raised his hand to stop them.
I saw Bagan staring at Qiegemu closely for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, just follow the method of the Qiegemu brothers, you will send fifteen thousand troops to attack Longnan with us, and the final looting harvest will be divided among us. 45% of your Mongolian right-wing tribes!"
After hearing Bagan's decision, Zigmu thought he had won the battle and couldn't help but feel proud.
However, Bagan's small eyes were flashing with an unprecedented cold murderous intent!
Then, after the leaders of the Mongolian coalition discussed some details, Qigmu left the Bagan tent, wanting to seize the time to report the news to the Mongolian right-wing tribal coalition.
After Qigmu left, the tent was filled with cronies of the Junggar Khanate. The leader of the Kazakh cavalry, Abai Haidar, could no longer bear it and asked Bagan angrily: "Chief Bagan, are we serious? We want to give 45% of the harvest to the right-wing Mongolian tribes? Even if the Longnan region of the Han people has indeed hoarded millions of stones of grain and grass, but nearly half of it was taken away by the right-wing Mongolian tribes, how much can we have left? Our son-in-law How are we going to survive the winter?"
Bagan snorted coldly and said: "Just agree to him for now! When the time comes to attack the city, I will let the 15,000 people sent by the Mongolian right-wing tribal coalition become the main force, and let them become the scapegoats of our Dzungarian warriors! We will also We can preserve our strength and reduce casualties! After they suffer heavy casualties, they will be unable to resist us. At that time, how much food, property, and slaves will be distributed to the Mongolian right-wing tribes, is it not up to us?"
After hearing Bagan's explanation, everyone finally understood what Bagan meant.
Suddenly, there was a burst of cold laughter in the big tent!
