Inside the yurt.
Hu Hu looked at the pot of mutton brought over by the sergeant, picked up a piece of mutton bone unceremoniously, lowered his head and bit off a piece of meat, chewed twice and frowned, and swallowed it while suppressing the discomfort.
There are no spices, but there is a smell of mutton, which is bearable. After all, although spices are not uncommon in the Ming Dynasty, they are not something ordinary people can afford. There are even fewer spices that can flow into Wala, but you can at least put some spices in it. Some salt, please?
Without salt, what would it taste like?
Hu Hui squinted his eyes, looked in the direction outside the door, and said slowly: "If you have anything to say, come in and talk."
The door curtain opened.
Yan Ji walked in slowly and sat opposite Hu Hui. He raised his hand and threw a bag of salt particles over: "You are an envoy of the Ming Dynasty and you deserve to eat salt."
Hu Xi took it, looked at the salt particles inside, took out some and threw them into the hot basin: "Wala has a strong sense of danger, which can be seen from the fact that you are already storing salt. However, saving cannot be achieved from To fundamentally solve the problem, Wala has only one way out, and that is to surrender to the Ming Dynasty."
Yan Ji took off the knife from his waist, reached out and took out a sheep bone, and while picking the meat, he said: "The news of the destruction of the Tartars has been confirmed, and you are not lying. The power of the Ming Dynasty is beyond the imagination of the Oara people. I I came here to ask you, if Wala surrenders to the Ming Dynasty, how do you plan to settle Wala?"
Hu Xi rinsed the bones in his hands in the soup in the basin, fished them out and said, "How to place Oala is a matter for the imperial court and the emperor to consider. As an envoy, I am only responsible for persuading you to surrender."
Yanji shook his head: "If you don't give a guarantee, how could Wala choose to surrender?"
Hu Xi lowered his head and faced the meat: "I gave you a guarantee, so you should run away, right?"
The movements in Yanji's hands stopped.
Indeed, if the envoys of the Ming Dynasty arbitrarily set out conditions and made guarantees in order to persuade Wala to surrender and surrender to the Ming Dynasty, it means that Ming Dynasty did not really want to conquer Wala, but wanted to get rid of Wala!
The destruction of the Tatars caused the entire Oara tribe to panic. People's hearts were unstable and riots might occur at any time.
The Ming Dynasty is like a knife, and it has appeared in front of you.
No one is willing to die under the sword of the Ming Dynasty. In the past few days, there have been calls for migration within Oala, wanting to run far away and trade distance for safety.
But in that case, Hangai Mountain will no longer have color, the women of Oala will no longer have singing voices, and the men of Oala will have their spines broken.
It is true that the Wala are nomadic people, and it is true that they have no fixed abode, but the Wala belong to the grassland, the grasslands, mountains and rivers where their ancestors have grazed for generations.
You can become nomadic, but you can’t lose the grassland.
You can move, but you can't leave the grassland.
No matter how nomadic you were before, your home was always between heaven and earth. Now, if we go north or northwest to grab a piece of land in other countries to support the continuation of the Oara tribe, is it really feasible? .z.
Yan Ji looked at Hu Xi and said in a deep voice: "If the Wala tribe surrenders, will the Ming Emperor allow the Wala tribe to retain its strength?"
Hu Xi looked deeply at Hen Ji, and her face became serious: "I know you, the security bureau calls you a black widow, and all men who are infected with you, whether it is your husband or the sweat that takes you away, will also Or Ha Shiha later, they all died. The fact that you can survive shows that you are not a simple person, but also an extremely smart person."
"Black Widow?"
Yan Ji felt bitter.
Yes, all his men died, his husband died because of his beauty, the Great Khan died because of his own plot, and Hashiha died under Mahamu's saber.
He is like a person with black bad luck. Whoever comes close to him will not end well. If left in the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid it would have the reputation of being a crook.
Hu Xi was thoughtful for a while, took a few bites of meat, threw the bones on the table, picked up a handkerchief and wiped his hands: "I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee one thing, the imperial court will not massacre Wala if he surrenders to the Ming Dynasty. Soldiers and civilians of Wala. Regardless of whether the imperial court adopts dispersed arrangements or allows you to stay here, at least there will be no bloodshed."
"From what I know about the emperor, he
It is very likely that the Wala nobles will be allowed to go to the prosperous places of the Ming Dynasty, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Nanjing, Kaifeng, and even Peiping, which will soon become the new capital. The dignity of the nobles still needs to be taken care of and preserved. As for other people in the tribe, as long as you do not become enemies of the Ming Dynasty and do not retain a large number of war horses, armors, and weapons, I believe that the grassland will become a peaceful grassland. "
Yanji shook his head slightly: "Without war horses, armor and weapons, wouldn't the people on the grassland become the meat of the Ming Dynasty? They can be killed at any time when they want to be killed?"
Hu Xi asked back: "You have the ability to resist, aren't you the flesh and blood of the Ming Dynasty? If the Ming Dynasty really wants to solve the problem of Wala, it doesn't need to use such tricks, it can just send an army to sweep it away. Ji Ji, you are a smart man, you should It can be seen that without the constraints of Uliangha and Tatar, the Ming Dynasty was able to send troops to conquer Oara in an instant."
"We have conquered the Hanhai, where can you go? Even if you move your whole family, can you find suitable pasture land? Will other countries allow you to graze safely? Believe it or not, even if you run away To the horizon, as long as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty makes a word, you will be exposed no matter where you are. In order to prevent future troubles, the Ming army can re-travel the path you have taken. By then, not a single blade of grass will grow under the gun!"
Yanji looked pale: "The Ming Dynasty must kill everyone?"
Hu Wei waved his hand: "It's not that the Ming Dynasty wants to kill everyone, but that the Ming Dynasty does not allow you to have the power to harm the Ming Dynasty. In view of the fact that Wala tore up the peace covenant and Mahamu led the army to attack the western border of the Ming Dynasty, the war has actually begun. What will end the war? , the Emperor of Ming Dynasty needs to speak, migration and escape are not the end of the war, but just the postponement of the war."
"You go back and tell Princess Samur, tell Bagamu, and if Mahamu is lucky enough to come back alive, then you tell him. The world is so big, only surrendering to the Ming Dynasty is the only way for Wala to survive. Other than that, there is no other way. Do whatever you want."
Yan Ji understood the strength of the Ming envoys and understood the position of the Ming court. What they wanted was a Wala who had completely lost the power to resist!
Princess Samuel learned all this from Henji's mouth and fell into deep fear and uneasiness.
Not long after, Mahamu, Batu Boluo, and Taiping, with only fifty cavalry sergeants, fled back to Hangai Mountain and the Oara tribe in embarrassment.
Faced with such a tragic defeat and such huge losses, the Oara tribe finally reached a crossroads.
out on a limb.
To the left is the mountain, to the right is the Ming army, and upward is the extreme cold.
Stay where you are, should you kneel to live or stand to die? This is the fateful moment for the entire Oara ethnic group.
