Everything went as Li Qing expected, and people arrived very smoothly. There were more than 12,000 people in total. This was a big gain.
With the addition of these people, it will not only stabilize the warriors who have taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty, but also increase the Mongolian population and have a positive effect on recruiting grassland tribes in the future.
But Li Qing came to the grassland not just for these reasons, he also had more important things. Compared with that thing, it was just a incidental matter.
The top priority is to solve the problem that Walawei cannot be lost.
…
"Shi Biao, you don't have to wait this time, take these people back first." Li Qing said, "I have to go to Wala. You are walking slowly with so many people. I can catch up with you quickly after finishing the work. "
Shi Heng said nothing this time. Wala had always been humble to the Ming Dynasty. Even the Tatars did not dare to go against Li Qing, and Wala would not do the same.
The two sides had just signed a trade deal, and Wala still hoped to do business with Daming. Shi Biao knew this, so he had nothing to worry about.
"Okay then." Shi Biao said, "After finishing the work, hurry up and catch up with the army. It's boring for me to be alone. Hurry up and teach me your skills."
"Don't worry, I will keep my word and I will definitely teach you." Li Qing nodded with a smile and said: "Those women and children will also be members of the Ming Dynasty in the future. Don't treat them badly. They must be fed."
"I brought so much food, I can't even finish it even if I eat it." Shi Biao nodded: "It's only serious that you come back as soon as possible."
"Well, let's go."

The weight of one person is too light, and it is not easy for others to trust him, so Li Qing took He Yong and his royal guards with him.
Half a month later, a group of people met Wala's spies dozens of miles away from Wala's camp.
Li Qing announced his identity, and the other party briefly verified him before leading him to the Wala Camp.
After all, Li Qing only has dozens of people, so he cannot threaten Oara at all, and for now, the Tatars do not dare to have any thoughts about Oara.
There was no friction between the two parties and everything went smoothly.
That afternoon, Li Qing and others arrived at Wala Camp.
As soon as he arrived at the place, the other party entertained him with good wine and meat, and then Boyan Timur came in person.
He glanced around for a week and found that except for Li Qing, everyone else looked like a native of the grassland, but these people were all dressed in Han official uniforms, especially He Yong, who was wearing a flying fish suit, which was particularly conspicuous.
"Are you really from Ming Dynasty?" He was a little doubtful.
"It's guaranteed." Li Qing smiled and nodded, "People from the Tatar tribe wouldn't come all the way to Wala to eat and drink, right?"
Boyan Timur was stunned and couldn't help but laugh: "Well, indeed, if you really want to come, you won't just come here."
After a pause, "I wonder, friends from the Ming Dynasty, why do you come to our Wala?"
Li Qing wiped his greasy hands, stood up and said, "I am the imperial envoy. The emperor sent me here."
Boyan Timur hesitated. He somewhat believed it, but not completely. It was because the imperial team was too small, even shabby.
"How do you prove your identity?"
"I have an edict." Li Qing took out the bright yellow letter. "This is the emperor's order. Ming Dynasty has just signed a trade with you. You can compare it with the emperor's handwriting."
Boyan Timur stepped forward and took it with both hands, unfolded it and read it. He had lived in Daming for a period of time in the past and was very familiar with Chinese characters. He believed 80% of it at just one glance.
Looking at the seal at the signature place, I no longer had any doubts.
He took a few steps back, raised his robe and prostrated himself: "Your Majesty, Choros Boyantemur, I wish you the best of blessings."
"Blessings, Holy Gong." Li Qing stood with his hands behind his back and replied with force.
Then, he stepped forward to help Boyan Timur up and said with a smile: "Famous is not as good as meeting. King Shunning is really a hero."
"No, no." Boyan Timur smiled politely, "The imperial envoy has given you too much praise."
Somehow, he always felt very familiar with Li Qing, as if the two of them had met a long time ago, but he was extremely sure that they had never met before. gòйЪ.ōΓg
It's really strange... Boyan Timur scratched his head, then put aside this strange thought, turned to the bodyguard and said: "Go and prepare a sumptuous feast of wine and meat. I want to entertain the imperial envoy of the Ming Dynasty and all the brothers of the Ming Dynasty."
The emperors represented by the imperial envoys were all senior officials in the Ming Dynasty, so Boyan Timur naturally did not dare to neglect them.
Half an hour later, the table was filled with mutton, mutton soup, cheese, kumis...
Li Qing and Boyan Timur sat opposite each other, accompanying Yong Daheng.
It's really strange, this Jinyiwei is somewhat familiar... Boyan Timur was wondering that his son was broken, but he couldn't show it, so he raised his wine bowl to persuade him to drink.
"I respect the imperial envoy!"
"You're welcome, King Shuning." Li Qing smiled, picked up the wine bowl, touched it to him, and drank it all in one gulp.
He Yong was very fond of kumiss, and he drank it like "Tons, tons, tons..."
The two people's generosity also made Boyan Timur very drunk, and he immediately asked people to pour wine.
Compared with the Han people, Mongolia’s wine culture is purer, and it’s just one word – drink!
One of Boyan Timur and He Yong was the leader of Oara, and the other was the former leader of Tatar. Naturally, they didn't have much drinking capacity. Li Qing... was a loser, and his drinking capacity was even more terrifying.
The three of them drank two full jars of wine, until Boyan Timur and He Yong couldn't drink any more, so they stopped there.
Li Qing looked at Boyan Timur, who was dark-faced and flushed but still relatively sober. He couldn't help but nodded secretly and thought to himself:
"This guy has a really good drinking capacity, much better than his brother."
Boyan Timur was quite shocked. Everyone did it bowl by bowl, and there was no trickery. As a result, he was already sixty points drunk, but Li Qing seemed to be fine.
He thought to himself: "What the hell, I can't drink a Han man?"
"Thank you King Shunning for your hospitality. Let's get down to business next." Seeing that he was a little dissatisfied, Li Qing quickly got to the point.
He didn't want to drink kumiss anymore.
Hearing this, Boyan Timur had no choice but to give up, nodded and asked, "I wonder what the emperor's will is?"
"It's not a decree. This imperial envoy is here to relieve the siege of Wala on the orders of the emperor." Li Qing said with a smile.
"Rescue Wala?"
"Yes, the situation in Wala seems to be good now, but in fact...it is full of crises!" Li Qing sighed, "As it develops and grows, the internal conflicts in Wala are also intensifying. I guess King Shunming is also having a headache because of this, right?"
Boyan Timur was stunned at first, and then startled. Then he raised his fists with his hands and exclaimed: "His Majesty the Emperor is so wise!"
He looked at Li Qing and sighed: "To be honest, this department... did have some minor problems."
Li Qing laughed and shook his head: "King Shuning is really brave for a skilled man. This is going to be a big deal soon, but in your eyes it is just a small problem. It seems that King Shuning doesn't need the help of this imperial envoy."
"Is the tail too big to fall off?" Boyan Timur hesitated, then shook his head and smiled, "There are some problems in the headquarters, but they are not as serious as the imperial envoy said."
As expected, the officials of the Ming Dynasty all like to make fuss out of molehills, or maybe they want to take advantage of the opportunity to extort money. I have to be more careful... Boyan Timur thought to himself, and his drunkenness faded a bit.
Unexpectedly, Li Qing's next words made him feel drunk.
"Oura is not favored by the Mongols. The number of people in Oara is too small. Now there is a risk of usurping the throne. As it grows, the power of Oara will eventually be annexed by local forces."
Li Qing said decisively: "The current situation is not only difficult, but also almost unsolvable;
Ming Dynasty has signed a large-scale trade deal with you, and you will become richer and richer. As your wealth accumulates, your need for force will further increase. Only by increasing your strength can you maintain your wealth;
If you don't accept the fragmented forces from the grasslands that come to seek refuge, they will unite, or be integrated by the Tatar tribe, and attack you who are so rich;
If you accept them, the power of Wala Headquarters will gradually decline, and eventually it will be swallowed up. "
Li Qing sighed in admiration: "In such a dangerous situation, King Shunning actually said it was a small problem. King Shunning is indeed a hero, and I admire him very much."
As he said that, he stood up and said, "Originally, the emperor was still worried about Wala's suffering, but now it seems that King Shunning has already made a plan. It is Ming Dynasty who has to worry about it."
He Yong also stood up, bowed his hands to Boyan Timur, and was about to leave with Li Qing.
"Imperial envoy, wait!"
Boyan Timur called out quickly, sweat dripping from his forehead. He knew there was a problem, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.
Now that Li Qingyi told him, he understood how serious the situation was. It was... a matter of life and death.
The Ming Dynasty was so horrifying that it could see so clearly even though it was thousands of miles away, even further than I, the leader of Wala... Boyan Timur was frightened and at the same time, he was also extremely shocked.
He swallowed and couldn't help but think of his father's last words: Son, remember, you must be loyal to the Ming Emperor from now on!
Thinking of this, Boyan Timur could no longer care about his face, and quickly took Li Qing's arm and said with shame:
"I am stupid. The imperial envoy must not be offended. I also ask the Ming Dynasty to help Wala for the sake of Wala's loyalty."
Li Qing was startled for a moment, and then said seriously: "Since King Shunning is not sure about solving the problem, then... Daming will help you."
"Don't worry, King Shunning!" Li Qing said generously with a majestic and upright face: "I, the Ming Dynasty, will never abandon the ministers who are loyal to me!"
The Ming Dynasty is righteous... Boyan Timur held Li Qing's hand and was so moved that he almost cried.
Boyan Timur is still a simple and honest man... Li Qing held his hand instead, with a sincere expression.
