"Why does Your Highness value this saucy Tatar so much?" After leaving the dungeon, Mahamu's roar seemed to still penetrate the thick cell door. Wang Xian looked back at the cell door, but his heart was full of doubts.
"Besides, if you want to recruit this arrogant Tatar, why would you let him castrate you?"
"Although I haven't read any books, I also know the principle of 'a scholar can be killed, but not humiliated'. If we humiliate him like this, what if he hangs himself directly?"
"If you die, you will die. I just don't want to put all my eggs in one basket." Zhu Di's tone was calm and gentle. Yao Guangxiao smiled and replied to Mr. Wang: "Don't look at his grief and anger at this time. After a few days, he may really be castrated and surrender. There is great terror between life and death, not to mention the extremely ambitious ambition of this animal."
"No matter how ambitious you are, you can't become a man?" Wang Xian still didn't understand. Yao Guangxiao didn't explain much to this rough man. He just smiled and asked Wang to quickly prepare for the city defense. Then he and Zhu Di headed to the tower in the wind and snow.
"Your Highness, do you think Mahamu will surrender?"
"Maybe." Zhu Di looked forward and seemed to just answer casually. "Mahamu has great ambitions. People like this will not be willing to die in the dungeon. Since he has great ambitions, he may not be able to endure humiliation as long as he lives."
Zhu Di remembered Zhu Su's account. Grand Master Wala, who defeated Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, also started to rise slowly from Mahamu's generation. This is a hero, and heroes can often endure humiliations that are unbearable for ordinary people. Such as Gou Jian who was lying on a salary to taste his courage, such as Han Xin who was humiliated from the crotch, or like in history, the King of Yan Zhu Di who pretended to be crazy and deceived Emperor Jianwen...
If he was in a different place, Zhu Di felt that he would choose to be humiliated and compromise first. After all, only by living can you create the great cause in your heart. Of course, castration is a bit humiliating...
Deep down in his heart, Zhu Di regarded Mahamu as an opponent, not just because his descendants defeated his descendants in history, but also because in history, the "Yongle Emperor" Zhu Di spent his whole life fighting in Mobei. That is, Tatar and Oara, which is ruled by the Choros family.
Compared with the Great Khan Yasudie'er who did not do much after inheriting the throne in history, it was Haohai Dayu and Mahamu's father and son who worried Zhu Di more. But it’s just “care”. If Mahamu is willing to castrate himself, in addition to this possible disaster for future generations of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di is indeed willing to subdue him and let him help him in his Western expedition.
Those who achieve great things must first have the grace to tolerate others...
Moreover, Mahamu has another use that is just around the corner. Although Zhang Yu had been sent as a messenger to ask for help, Zhu Di would not place his hopes of victory only on reinforcements.
…
Winter has arrived, and the Wala army has been besieging the city for more than a month, but they still refuse to leave. Even though the weather was already freezing, the frustrated Yesudier still urged the army to launch several sieges. However, the city wall wrapped in solid ice was more difficult to climb than usual, and the cold weather made it difficult for the soldiers to move. Therefore, apart from throwing away thousands of corpses, these several attacks on the city achieved little. The furious Yesudier decided to besiege Hami City outside the city. After all, although there were many jewels in Hami City, there were not many reserves of food, cattle and sheep. Moreover, if they were besieging the city, they could bypass Hami City and go to Yili. They were plundering supplies from inside, but Hami City did not have any supplies and could only sit trapped in the city.
As the snow thickened, the fighting also reached a stalemate. Although the Great Khan was not forced to attack the city for the time being, there were complaints among the Oara army because of the heavy snow. The Choros tribe, which has gradually become a marginalized tribe, is even more demoralized. As the leader, Tatsuyu Haohai has been living in seclusion. If there is no big deal, he will not leave his big tent easily.
But on this day, a member of Choros' tribe mysteriously got into Haohai Dayu's tent. Because he was depressed, Haohai Dayu was sitting and drinking in the tent by the fire. When he saw this tribesman, he Sneaking in with a sneaky look, he couldn't help but frown: "Hulegan, you look like a sneaky mouse on the grassland now. Show off your heroic spirit. The warriors of Choros shouldn't be as crooked as you." The waist is slumped."
"Headman, who do you think I brought to you?" The Choros tribesman named Hu Legen did not pay attention to Haohai Dayu's rebuke to him, but opened the door for Haohai Dayu with a happy face. Opened the camp. Immediately afterwards, a figure that was very familiar to Haohai Dayu came in. When Haohai Dayu saw this figure, he couldn't help but stood up.
"Mahamu! My son! You are indeed not dead!"
"Abu, we still need to lead the Choros clan to achieve great achievements. Naturally, I will not die." Mahamu said. He stopped Haohai Dayu's move to ask more questions, and first secretly looked outside the tent. After confirming that there was no one outside, he said to Haohai Dayu: "Abu, it was the King of Yan in the city who let me out of the city... …He hopes that we can cause civil strife in the camp and kill Yesuder Khan together with them!”
"Kill the Great Khan?" Haohai Dayu was shocked. His son surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. This was something he expected, otherwise he would not have been released from Hami City safely. He was still worrying about where the Chorus tribe would go from now on, when he suddenly heard Mahamu's earth-shattering words.
"No, it's impossible. No one can kill the Great Khan..."
He has been working for this golden family for more than ten years. Starting from Yesudie'er's father's generation, the prestige of Alibu Ge's family has been deeply implanted in his heart. Although he had thought about defecting to Xu Da in the past few days, he had never thought of assassinating Yesudier. Now that Mahamu said this, he would subconsciously object...
"Abu, listen to me!" Mahamu held Haohai Dayu's shoulders, "The Ming Dynasty is too powerful. The current Daming Dynasty is even more powerful than the Great Yuan Dynasty when it was most powerful. What is even more terrifying is the Daming Dynasty. The emperor is different from the previous monarchs in the Central Plains, and his obsession with land is even stronger than Genghis Khan."
"The Ming Dynasty is determined to conquer the grassland, but Yesudier Khan has no ability to stop the Ming Dynasty... If Choros wants to rise, he must rely on the power of a stronger party."
"King Yan, King Yan has sent people to invite the Ming Dynasty's reinforcements. If the Ming Dynasty's reinforcements arrive, all the Wala warriors will die here... Only now! Only now is our chance to show our value to them! If it’s too late, when their reinforcements arrive, our Troos will be worthless to the Ming Dynasty…”
"Reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty?" Haohai Dayu still didn't believe it. "This is impossible. Even the brave Mongols cannot withstand the severe cold now. Those fragile Han people..."
"It was those fragile Han people who destroyed Dayuan!" Mahamu stared directly at his father with his eyes widened. "The Han people have an idiom called 'covering one's ears and stealing the bell'. My father also wanted to cover his ears and pretend that he could not see the bravery of the Han people."
"Until they cut your head off?"
