"Baiyintaiji, can you speed up the march of the team? We are still waiting for reinforcements to come and support." Zamulun said to a Mongolian Taiji with an anxious look.
Baiyin glanced at Zamulun and said in a calm tone: "Even if the warriors can stand such a hot day, the horses cannot stand running for so long, but you don't have to worry, you will naturally continue on your way after you have rested. "
"Taiji." Zamulun said anxiously, "We are really with Fan Ji's motorcade, and that group of horse bandits may come to Fan Ji's motorcade at any time."
"This is just your guess." Bai Yin said, "You haven't even seen the horse bandits in person, how could you know that they would attack Fan Ji's motorcade? And didn't you say that there are only a few people in the horse bandits? Could it be that You Jurchens can't even defeat a small group of horse bandits?"
There was teasing in his tone.
Usually in Horqin, these Jurchens have always looked down on their Mongolian soldiers in Horqin. This time they finally had the opportunity to take revenge and came back.
Zamulun's face sank and he said: "Baiyintaiji, Obataiji asked you to come here to help us bring Fan Ji's team back to Horqin safely. If something happens to Fan Ji's team, of course we can't compete with Sibeile." Explain, I believe it’s not easy for you, Baiyintaiji, to explain to Obataiji!”
"Even if Obataji is dissatisfied, it is an internal matter within Horqin, and you don't need to worry about it." Baiyin glanced at Zamulun, and then said, "The war horse is very delicate, and I can't do it for your daughter. The real thing is to run away and destroy the war horse that our Horqin worked so hard to raise."
Zamulun and Baiyin started fighting each other, neither of them willing to give in.
At this time, a young Mongolian came up and he advised: "Both of you, please calm down. We are all here to allow Fan Ji's motorcade to arrive in Horqin safely. There is no need to argue here."
The speaker is Obataji's grandson Burigude, a young Mongolian nobleman.
"Burigude," Baiyin said, "you are also a Horqin person. You should know how difficult it is for the herdsmen to raise a war horse. The weather is so hot now and we have already made the war horse run hundreds of miles. If we continue If you keep running, you will easily destroy the war horse."
Burigude nodded in agreement.
Zamulun on the side said: "When I returned to Horqin, Fan Ji's convoy was already being targeted by horse bandits. Don't forget, not all the goods brought by Fan Ji's convoy came from our Houjin, but also from you Horqin. Part of it.”
Baiyin said disapprovingly: "Don't worry, we Horqin have already let the outside world know. The horse bandits on the grassland don't dare to embarrass Fan Ji's convoy."
Burigude agreed: "Yes, I, Ebuge, have already said that no one is allowed to embarrass Fan Ji's people. I believe that the horse bandits on the grassland dare not disobey my Ebuge's will."
"This group of horse bandits are not ordinary horse bandits." Zamulun said in a deep voice, "They are probably the guards raised by a company called Tiger Flag in the Ming Dynasty. This company and Fan Ji have always been at odds with each other. The convoy sent by the reporter to the grassland was in trouble, and it was this tiger-character flag that was responsible."
"Tiger-character flag?" Burigude frowned slightly and said, "Is it the tiger-character flag that went to Baicheng?"
The Tiger-Character Banner trade route leads to Baicheng and spreads almost throughout Monan Mongolia. As the eldest grandson of Horqin Obataiji, the name Tiger-Character Banner has been mentioned by many people.
Zamulun nodded and said, "That's the tiger-character flag."
"It's not that Fan Ji is a famous business firm in the Ming Dynasty. How come there are still Ming Dynasty companies that dare to attack the convoy that Fan Ji sent to the grassland?" Bai Yin looked puzzled.
Burigude explained: "I heard Ebuge say that this company called Tiger Flag's business is not only spread all over Monan, but also has their caravans in Mobei, and the business is bigger than Fan Ji. "
Zamulun frowned and said: "Burigude, it doesn't matter how big the Tiger Flag business you mentioned is. What matters now is that we have to rush to Fan Ji's motorcade and bring them back to Horqin safely. .”
"Didn't I tell you before, the weather is so hot, not only people need to rest, but horses also need to rest." Bai Yin said with dissatisfaction.
Burigude said with a smile: "Zamulun, I can understand that you are anxious to see Kutai, but what Baiyintaiji said is right. If someone really wants to take advantage of Fan Ji's team, we should support him even more." It takes spirit.”
Zamulun frowned deeply.
The three hundred Mongolian armored cavalry who came with him were led by two Mongolian nobles, Baiyin and Burigude. Now the two people obviously wanted to camp here to rest. He knew that it was useless no matter how anxious he was. Those Mongolian armored cavalry were He would not listen to the orders of a Jurchen.
"Okay Zamulun." Burigude advised, "After traveling such a long way, I believe you Jurchens should be tired too. It's better to rest here for a while and then continue on your way."
Zamulun knew that he couldn't leave for the time being, so he said, "Then rest for half an hour and continue on the road after half an hour."
"Half an hour?" Baiyin frowned and said, "No, it's too short."
Burigude looked up at the sky. It was the hottest time of the day, and said, "How about this? Let's rest here for an hour, and then start our journey again after an hour."
"An hour is too long." Zamulun looked dissatisfied.
Baiyin said: "At least an hour, or we can just wait for the weather to cool down and continue our journey."
Hearing this, Zamulun felt like a fire was burning in his heart, but he knew that this was not the time to argue with the two people in front of him, so he took a deep breath and said: "Just one hour, and we will leave in one hour. "
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Pooh!
Baiyin spat in the direction that Zamulun left and sneered: "Who does he think he is? He has been gesticulating all the way. I have long disliked him."
Burigude beside him smiled and said: "It is my intention to form an alliance with Houjin and several other big Taijis. I know you don't like Jurchens, but in the face of Chahar Lindan Khan They are pressing harder and harder, and we, Horqin, need Hou Jin’s help.”
"Lin Dan Khan is too ambitious and wants his Chahar to annex all the grassland tribes." Baiyin said, "Now our Horqin is a thorn in his side. Otherwise, how could our Horqin form an alliance with Hou Jin."
Burigude smiled and said: "Stop complaining. It is also a good thing for us to be able to bring Fan Ji's convoy back to Horqin smoothly. Ming Dynasty has tea irons and grain. We in Horqin also need these things."
Baiyin nodded in agreement.
Zamulun's face was very ugly.
As soon as they came back, several Jurchens came up and asked, "Zamulun, what did Baiyin say?"
"Rest, rest where you are." Zamulun said angrily.
The Jurchen on the side said dissatisfiedly: "There will be danger at any time over there. At this time, we should rush over as soon as possible. How can we rest!"
"I also wanted to rush over earlier to help Ezhen, but those damn Mongols must stay and rest, so what can I do." Zamulun looked angry.
A Jurchen said: "How about we let these Mongolians stay and rest, and we continue on our way?"
Another Jurchen on the side responded: "I agree. These Mongolians are dragging their feet along the way. It's better for us to rush there ourselves and get there earlier."
After speaking, he looked at Zamulun.
Zamulun hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head and said: "If it is true that the people from the Tiger Flag want to attack Fan Ji's motorcade, then there will definitely be many people sent. With just a few of us, Personally, I won’t be able to help much if I go, so why don’t I stay and keep an eye on these Mongols and think of ways to urge them to get there as soon as possible.”
This time when he came back from Horqin, he brought over all the Jurchens who stayed in Horqin. Except for the dozen or so people taken away by Kutai, he only had five Jurchens here.
