After a day's journey, China was already tired and tired. After eating and drinking, he fell asleep early in the yurt.
Bogeri, who had settled down in China, left the yurt alone.
It's already dark outside.
Bogezhi took a torch in his hand and went to Hutuktu Khan's sweat tent.
Several bonfires were lit around the sweat tent, and soldiers patrolled nearby.
"I have something important that I need to see the Khan. Go in and report it quickly." Borgri said to the soldiers guarding outside the Khan's tent.
As Taiji of the Chahar tribe living in Baicheng, all the soldiers in the Khan's tent knew him. When they saw that he wanted to see the Great Khan, someone immediately went in to inform him.
After a short time, a soldier came out of the Khan's tent and said to Bogeri: "Taiji, please come in. The Great Khan has agreed to summon you."
Bogzhi stepped into the sweat tent.
"Sweat profusely."
Seeing Hutuktu Khan sitting on the big seat, Borgz bowed down and saluted.
Hutuktu Khan looked at Borgz and said: "What is the important matter that makes you come to meet with this Khan so late?"
"It's about the Jin people." Bogeri said, "I just got the news that the Jin Dynasty sent an envoy to the Horqin tribe. Now the Jin people's envoy is at the Horqin tribe."
Hutuktu Khan, who was sitting in the big seat, said in a cold voice: "Oba is a snake and a rat. On the one hand, he is friendly with our Chahar, and on the other hand, he is flirting with the Jin man. Hum, sooner or later, this Khan will let Horqin Completely surrender to this Khan."
He had long been dissatisfied with the fact that the Horqin tribe was playing both sides between him and the Jin people.
"Great Khan, the Jin envoy who came to the Horqin tribe this time is unusual. I heard that it is Huang Taiji, the fourth beile of the Jin people, and he is accompanied by a white armor from Niulu." Bogeri said.
"It's him!" Hutuktu Khan frowned.
Bogeri said: "Great Khan, this Huang Taiji is the fourth beile of the Jin Dynasty and the leader of the Zhengbai Banner of the Jin people. As long as you kill this Huang Taiji, you can definitely cause heavy damage to the Jin people."
The more he talked, the more excited he became.
"Do you know what Huang Taiji did when he came to Horqin? Could it be that Horqin married a Jin man again?" Hutuktu Khan looked at Bogeri and asked.
Bogeri said: "I heard that Huang Taiji's visit to the Horqin tribe this time was related to the Jin people killed by the Tiger Character Banner before. He should have come to take revenge on the Tiger Character Banner. Oba Taiji also sent people to inquire about the Tiger Character Banner. News from the flag team.”
"So someone from the Horqin tribe has found you?" Hutuktu Khan asked.
Bogeri said: "China from the Horqin tribe is sleeping in my yurt. He told me about Huang Taiji's visit to the Horqin tribe."
"The Jin people are really vindictive. They have killed so many Han people. Now the Han people have only killed a few people and they are going to take revenge. But this is okay. Let them bite each other first to see whose teeth are stronger. ." Hutuktu Khan sneered.
The Tiger-Character Banner that occupies Dabanshengdi and Daijin who prevents Chahar from conquering the Horqin tribe can be said to be Chahar's enemies.
Bogeri hesitated and said: "Khan, you mean to let Huang Taiji go, let the Jin people and the people of the Tiger Flag fight each other, and in the end we will reap the benefits."
"That's right. No matter who wins or loses in the fight between the Tiger Flag and the Golden Man, it will only be good for me and not bad for me." Khutuktu Khan stroked his beard and laughed.
Huang Geri said: "Huang Taiji is accompanied by Niu Lu's white armor. Oba Taiji will definitely send Horqin's people to fight with the Jin people. The few soldiers in the Tiger Flag convoy may not be from the Jin people. opponent."
"It doesn't matter." Hutuktu Khan waved his hand and said, "As long as the people from the Tiger Flag and the Jin people take action, our people can be delayed for a while. People can solve it together."
Bogori bowed and praised: "The Ming Dynasty is wise."
"Send more people to keep an eye on the movements of the Horqin tribe, especially the Jin people who remain in the Horqin tribe." Hutuktu Khan explained.
Bogezhi said: "Don't worry, Great Khan, no matter where the Jin goes, he can't escape the eyes of our Chahar sentries."
"I'll leave this matter to you. If nothing happens, go back and prepare!" Hutuktu Khan, who was sitting on the big seat, yawned.
There is nothing to do after dark. As long as it is not a festival or something to celebrate, Mongolians will often go back to their yurts to rest early.
"Yes." Borghi agreed and exited the sweat tent.
After leaving the sweat tent, he returned to his yurt and didn't do anything that needed to be done until dawn.
At the same time, as early as more than a month ago, a convoy came out from the direction of Zhangjiakou and headed for Baicheng.
This motorcade was flying a tiger-shaped flag, and four-wheeled vehicles lined up in a long queue that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Because they were going to several tribes in Mongolia on the left, the convoy brought enough food and various goods that were only available in the Ming Dynasty. There were a thousand soldiers guarding the convoy.
The entire topography of Monan was mapped by the cartographers of Tiger Banner.
The map marked the lakes and rivers where you could camp, as well as the approximate haunts of each tribe. Especially those tribes with a small number of people rarely stayed in one place for a long time.
"We will reach Baicheng in more than half a month. We have brought a lot of things this time. We are trying to exchange all the furs accumulated by several tribes here." Pan Yi, the captain of the thousand-man team escorting the goods Said to the people around him.
Cheng Ping, the accompanying staff officer, said: "We haven't been here for almost half a year. We can definitely get a lot of things from the Mongolians in various ministries. However, the division has told us to be careful when coming to Baicheng this time."
"Don't worry, the soldiers escorting the convoy this time are all veterans." Pan Yi said with a smile.
They didn't know that Hutuktu Khan of Baicheng had sent people to Qingcheng to ask Liu Heng for the Da Ban Sheng land, but they still knew about the killing of the Jin people.
When we came to Baicheng, we were very close to the Horqin Grassland, so we naturally had to be on guard against the Horqin tribe, which had good relations with the Jin people.
This was not Pan Yi's first trip to Baicheng, and he was familiar with the route.
How many miles we travel every day and where is suitable for camping are all marked on the map in detail.
The convoy has many people and animals, so it consumes a lot of clean water every day. Although the convoy also carries buckets to hold water, the water can meet the water needs for five or six days at most.
Every once in a while, the fleet needs to refill the buckets at the water source.
The water source is also where the Mongols draw water. Some small Mongolian tribes who live on grass often change pastures. Sometimes when the convoy encounters such a small tribe, they will stay for a day or two and exchange the goods of the convoy with the Mongols. leather goods.
