The process of persuading Xin Ai went quite smoothly. Although Xin Ai has a stubborn temper, no matter how stubborn he is, he can't withstand the reality. He is old and sick, and is not actually afraid of death. However, as a father, he has to do something for him. Sons consider.
Zhalik and Burihatu are still with Tumen. Xin Ai doesn't know what they will choose in the future. But for a son like Hamu Batu'er who was captured by Gao Pragmatic, Xin Ai really can't bear to watch them die for her. .
Gao pragmatically talked to Xin Ai about the arrangement of their father and son, and he spoke very sincerely. He said that Xin Ai's family could not stay in Tumote and had to go to the Ming Dynasty to "become officials" - of course being officials was only in name, but in fact it was roughly the kind of house arrest with good treatment.
Gao Pragmatic made this matter straightforward and said: Regarding the issue of Xin Ai's departure, Ming Dynasty had an agreement with Dacheng Taiji and Zhongjin Hatun. This agreement is the basis of the tripartite alliance and cannot be changed, so Xin Ai The family would have nothing if they stayed in Tumut, and would even have to worry about it. In this case, it was better to change places.
Going to Daming, Gao Pragmatic guarantees the safety of their family.
Xin Ai seemed to believe it, so she asked Gao Pragmatic how to guarantee it.
Gao pragmatically answered him bluntly that Daming needed their family alive.
Although Xin Ai's political consciousness was average, when Gao Pragmatic said this, he still understood - their role is to intimidate Han Naji and Zhong Jinhatun. If they don't listen to Ming's call, Ming can take them out at any time. Another heir with the legitimate claim to Tumed Chechen Khan came to compete with them.
Even though they were still close allies, Gao Pragmatic was able to prepare his backup plan without changing his face or heart. This technique shocked even a person like Xin Ai, who grew up in a Mongolian environment where the jungle was strong and the jungle was strong.
I was truly defeated unjustly. Although this boy is young, he is really decisive and cautious in his thinking. There is no flaw at all. To be an opponent with such a person is simply unlucky for eight lifetimes.
However, looking back, Xin Ai had to admit that Gao's pragmatic move finally gave him some hope for the future of his sons. Regardless of whether Han Naji's ambitions would become stronger or not, at least his sons would be useful - —If something is valuable, it will not be abandoned.
As for himself, Xin Ai didn't bother to think too much. He knew about his own body. He had been suffering from many illnesses and disasters in the past few years. Even the living Buddha would have no idea how many years he could live. And within a few years, Han Naji would not dare to defy the Ming Dynasty - unless Tumen Khan died directly in Huapiling this time.
"Envoy Gao Qin, if you want Han Naji to be more honest, you'd better not kill Tumen this time, or even capture him." Xin Ai hesitated and said suddenly.
Gao Pangshi was startled for a moment, then laughed: "What Huang Taiji said is absolutely true. Heroes really think alike. I feel the same way...otherwise, why do you think I came to see you tonight?"
This was somewhat beyond Xin Ai's expectation, and she asked in surprise: "Are these two things related?"
Gao pragmatic raised his eyebrows slightly: "The military situation is urgent, and the soldiers need to be quick. If I want to kill Tumen, why not march in troops tonight and surround Tumen first? As for the meeting with Huang Taiji, what if it is two or three days late?" "
Xin Ai suddenly realized, and then sighed: "Chahar, Tumote, the left and right wings of Mongolia, it turns out that they are just puppets in the hands of the imperial envoy. You can play with them how you want. I am Gureng Temur, the capital of Sengge." , boasting of being in control of the desert, even though Echige asked for tribute back then, he was still dissatisfied privately, thinking that he had lost his ambition as a proud man of the grassland. Now that he has seen the methods of the imperial envoy, he understands why the Ming Dynasty valued civil servants..."
Gao Jingshi was slightly surprised and thought to himself: "I'm afraid you don't know that Ming Dynasty paid too much attention to civil servants... But I won't bother you about this matter."
He smiled slightly and said: "Huang Taiji has been praised too much, but he is too pragmatic to deserve it."
Xin Ai shook her head and suddenly said: "There is one more thing. Although it is a bit difficult to say, I still want to mention it to the imperial envoy..."
"Huang Taiji please speak, Gao is all ears."
"I have a son named Burihatu..." Xin Ai told Gao pragmatically all Burihatu's previous analyzes and actions, and then said: "Although this son cannot escape the envoy's control, The temple counts, but in Mongolia, he is considered a rare wise man. I am worried that he will follow Tumen because he wants to avenge me and make a big mistake in the future..."
Gao Jingshi didn't expect Xin Ai to have such a son. It sounded like this boy really deserved his father's evaluation of "a rare wise man in Mongolia." However, Gao Jingshi didn't care about Xin Ai's worries. No matter how scared I am.
Of course, Xin Ai took the initiative to mention this son, and Gao Pragmatic felt that he could do something about it. But there is no rush on this matter. Anyway, Xin Ai should still have a few years of good life. When he arrives in Yanjing, he will ask Li Shizhen to take a look at him. Maybe he can live for a little longer. Then we will check Chahar's condition. It's not too late to make plans, maybe... this Burihatu will be of great use.
After comforting Xin Ai, Gao pragmatically said: "Even if Burihatu makes a mistake this time, for Huang Taiji's sake, I will persuade the emperor to give him a chance to make amends in the future. Huang Taiji can rest assured." . However, I still hope that Huang Taiji can stand up and advise him when the time comes, so as to prevent him from misunderstanding Ming Dynasty too deeply and developing unnecessary obsessions."
Faced with this unexpected joy, Xin Ai naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
Seeing that it was getting late, Gao Pragmatic remembered the promise he had made to Zhang Bingzhong and others, so he left first and returned to his main tent in the Chinese army. His prestige was now at its peak, and Han Naji was once again a man more than ten years ago. No one who was impressed by him dared to compete with him for the position of coach, so since he came in person, Han Naji had no choice but to give up.
Gao Pragmatic himself also deliberately strengthened Han Naji's thinking, so much so that even though he was negotiating for Zhang Bingzhong's ministry to ask the court for pensions, which had nothing to do with Han Naji, Gao Pragmatic still sent someone to take Han Naji. Please come to the meeting.
Han Naji didn't know that the more he appeared on such occasions, the more convinced he was that he was an official of the Ming Dynasty. He thought that Gao Pragmatic only valued him, so he came to attend the meeting. He was very likely to join politics in the future. The excitement of joining the Standing Committee.
In fact, there is not much that really needs to be discussed in this matter. The results of the Battle of Monan were brilliant. Zhu Yijun is also very bold in spending money now. He will definitely not be stingy on this kind of thing. Gao Pragmatic summoned them together. The main thing is The purpose is to put on a show - you see, we have something serious to do tonight, and I am not procrastinating.
Therefore, after confirming that he would declare Zhang Bingzhong's casualties according to the list of casualties reported by Zhang Bingzhong, Gao Pragmatic began to arrange for tomorrow's battle.
"Xin Ai, I have just gone to convince him personally. The matter has been settled. He will come forward to appease his troops... His remaining troops will be temporarily led by Ma Zongrong from tomorrow, and will be handed over to Zhong Jinha after this battle is over. Do you have any opinions on the settlement?"
This seems to be a question to everyone, but in fact, the goal is only to get Han Naji - otherwise, what are the opinions of these Ming army generals to ask, and what do they dare to say about the decision of Gao Pangshi, the all-powerful imperial envoy? Can't doubt it?
After listening to Han Naji, he didn't have much reaction. In fact, he wanted to take over the Xin Ai Department to command, but it didn't make sense to think about it. Anyway, sooner or later, it would have to be handed over to Zhong Jin Ha Tun. Taking it now would be the opposite. It seemed like he had some motive, so it would be better not to get involved.
So Han Naji took the initiative to clasp his fists and said, "Naji has no objection."
"Very good." Gao Pingshi nodded lightly and said, "Now let's make arrangements for tomorrow's battle. The generals will obey orders."
The Mongolian generals headed by Bahannaji and the Ming army generals headed by Ma Gui were all stern when they heard this, and subconsciously stood up and listened to the order.
Gao Pangshi was very satisfied and thought to himself: After this battle, my reputation in Mongolia will probably be almost the same as that of Zhang Fu in Annan, right?
