The Mongolian Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have one thing in common, that is, there are many mountains, any mountain range stretches for thousands of miles, the peaks are high into the clouds, the snow is covered all year round, the birds are extinct, and the apes are difficult to overturn. Fear often comes from the unknown, unattainable mountains are as fearful as the unfathomable sea, so most of the nomads living on the Mongolian Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau revere the mountains and believe in the mountain gods, they believe that the mountain gods control the fortunes and misfortunes of the world, control the fate of all living beings, and every mountain flood and avalanche is the punishment of the mountain god's wrath.

Yanran Mountain is located in the middle of the Mongolian Plateau, northwest and southeast direction, about 1,400 miles long, the peaks stand in a forest, the average altitude is about 3,000 meters, the main peak is as high as more than 4,000 meters, the Segeleng River is the origin here.

On May 15 of the sixth year of Jiajing, although it was already summer, many peaks of the Yanran Mountains were still covered with snow, especially on the main peak, which was still covered with snow, but at the foot of the peaks was flowing water, green grass was abundant, and it was a scene full of vitality.

At this moment, the leader of the Varat Horos, Sanhad, and the leader of the Dulbert tribe, Turhuo, were kneeling on the grass, prostrate and bow to the main peak of Yanran Mountain, and chanted the words in their mouths: "O Almighty mountain god, holiness is as white as snow, thank you for the sweet snow and fertile grass of the world, but please bless your people, make everyone healthy, make the cattle and sheep fat, and let the jackals retreat, may everything go well today......

After the two of them prayed solemnly to Yanran Mountain, the former personally escorted the leader of the Turghut Battar, and the leader of the Hui tribe, Gosmont, to the Ming army camp in the distance.

From a bird's-eye view of the sky, I saw that at the foot of Yanran Mountain, where there were many peaks, the 70,000 combined troops of the Rose and Dulbert Divisions were stationed on the grassland on the west side, while the 100,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty were stationed on the east side of the grassland.

Originally, Sanhad and Tuluohuo asked to set the negotiation location between the two armies, but the attitude of the Ming army was very resolute, and if they wanted to talk, they would come to the door to talk, otherwise they would do it directly, and it would be as simple as that.

As the so-called people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, Sanhad and Tuluohuo weighed it again and again, and finally chose to compromise, and Sanhard personally went to negotiate with Xu Jin, while Tuluohuo was responsible for staying behind.

Soon, Sanhard came to the camp of the Ming army, and the deputy general Xie Erjian was in charge of greeting him.

"Your Excellency Thornhard, it's been a long time!" Xie Erjian arched his hand and said lightly.

Xie Erjian was the person who connected the two sides in this negotiation, and Sanhard naturally recognized it, and returned a chest salute and said, "Sanhard of the Ross Department has seen General Xie. ”

Xie Erjian said indifferently: "Your Excellency Sanhad is polite, and please ask everyone to hand over their weapons temporarily, this is the rule, offended!" ”

Sonhard's face changed slightly, he hesitated for a moment, and finally untied the scimitar at his waist, handed it to Xie Erjian with both hands, and his entourage also handed over their weapons one after another.

"Your Excellency Thornhard, please come inside, the marshal has been waiting in the camp for a long time." Xie Erjian slowed down his tone, made a gesture of invitation, and then led Sonhard to the Chinese army.

All the way there were soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition, all of them with big shoulders and round waists, angry eyes, and a fierce aura all over their bodies. Although it was clear that the Ming army was in Liwei, Sanhard and his party were still a little apprehensive, and it was really a bit scary that the new firearms in the hands of the Ming army were a bit scary.

Sanhard honestly followed Xie Erjian to the Chinese army camp, but unexpectedly found that a long red carpet was laid out outside the handsome tent, and at the end of the red carpet stood a young man dressed as a scholar.

Although he had already inquired about Xu Jin's appearance and dress, but seeing it with his own eyes at this time, Sonhard was still a little surprised, who would have thought that the famous Ming Jingguo Gong was actually such an elegant and weak scholar, the contrast was too great.

However, Thornhard was surprised and surprised, and reacted quite quickly, and hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down on his knees, and said loudly: "Thornhard has offended the tiger power of the Ming Dynasty, and I have come to ask for guilt today." ”

Sanhard spoke Tatar, but it didn't matter, there was an interpreter next to him, who translated his words aloud into Chinese. The generals couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, hey, this guy is interesting, and he kneels thoroughly!

Xu Jin smiled and said: "It is the three departments of Heshuot, Turghut and Huite who offended the Ming Dynasty, and they have nothing to do with the Ross and Dulbert Ministries. ”

"Gong Xie Jingguo." Thornhard thanked him and stood up, looked back and shouted, "Bring the people up." ”

Batar and Godsmond were escorted up and knelt down in front of Xu Jin.

Sanhard pointed to the two and said, "This is Batar, the leader of the Turgut, and this is Godsmun, the leader of the Huite tribe, it is these two guys who do not know the height of the sky and the earth that have offended the Ming Dynasty and the tiger power of the Yasukuni Gong." Now I have arrested them and dedicated them to the Duke of Yasukuni, hoping that the Lord of Yasukuni will have a large number of them to settle the disputes between the Ming Dynasty and the Warat, and from now on, I will surrender to the Ming Dynasty, pay tribute year after year, and forever marry the good of the monarch and ministers. ”

Xu Jin smiled indifferently, this Sanhad dared to come to negotiate alone, but he is a bold person, and his eloquence is also very good, but in front of Ben Shuai, whether it is a tiger or a wolf, will teach you to eat deflated.

Xu Jin's gaze turned to the two kneeling on the ground, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and an invisible coercion spread, and he said coldly: "Who is it, the messenger who beheaded Ben Shuai?" ”

Under Xu Jin's gaze, Batar and Godsmond only felt chills all over their bodies, and couldn't help but tremble, the former pointed at the latter and said: "It's him, it's Godsmond who ordered the messenger to kill the Duke of Yasukuni, it's none of my business, ask Yasukuni to be open and spare Batar's life, Batar is willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and he will be in Sinagon every year." ”

Xu Jin pointed at Godsmont and said lightly: "It's killed!" ”

Zhao Datou stepped forward with an arrow, and the flintlock pistol was shot at Godsmond's head, and bang, the latter fell down in response, and there was clearly a bloody hole in the door of his head, and red and white things gurgled out.

Batar's face turned pale with fright, but when he saw Xu Jin pointing at him again, he said lightly: "It's also killed!" ”

Batar almost urinated out, and fell directly to the ground, Xu Jin's personal soldiers didn't care so much, and it was a shot to the head, no different from killing chickens.

Sanhard's face was pale, his eyelids trembled, and he had a feeling of sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth, and he wanted to turn around and run away immediately, but he saw Xu Jin smile brightly and said, "Your Excellency Sanhard, please inside, let's touch our knees and talk about it." ”

Sanhard barely squeezed out a smile, and followed Xu Jin into the handsome tent tremblingly, and the two sides sat down separately, and someone served tea and pastries.

Xu Jin raised the teacup and took a sip, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Sanhad, this is the best in my Daming estuary black tea-Zhengshan Xiaozhong, you might as well try it." ”

Thornhard took the teacup and drank it all, praising it: "Good tea, it is really the best of the best." ”

Cen Lan covered her small mouth and almost laughed, Xue Bingxin couldn't help it, this guy was so good, he thought that drinking mare's milk wine was a waste.

Xu Jin smiled and said, "If Your Excellency Sanhard likes it, my lord will give you half a catty." ”

"Grandpa Xie Jingguo, that ...... This is a letter of state from Xia and Tuluohuo to the great emperor to seal it, and also asked the Yasukuni Duke to look at it. After Sanhard finished speaking, he immediately took out two pieces of brown paper and handed them to Xu Jin.

Xu Jin took a look and found that it was actually written in Chinese characters, and the format was quite formal, he swept it casually and then put it aside, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Sanhad, the matter of asking the Son of Heaven to be sealed will be put aside for the time being, let's talk about compensation first, and after the negotiation agreement is signed, the Duke of Heaven will play the Son of Heaven again." ”

Sonhard was stunned for a moment: "Compensation? ”

"Naturally, it is compensation, my Ming Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of heroes who have come thousands of miles away, and the Selenge River suffered heavy losses in the first battle, shouldn't Wara be compensated?" Xu Jin said solemnly.

Sanhad's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Then how does the Yasukuni Gong think Warat should be compensated?" ”

Xu Jin smiled and said: "In this way, it is not difficult for the prince of the country to be strong, with 100,000 cattle and sheep and 50,000 war horses." ”

Sanhad secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although this amount is a bit large, it is not unbearable, and even it is enough to collect the cattle, sheep and horses of the two tribes of Heshute and Turgot, but it is still necessary to bargain when the price is opened, and the price is still to be repaid, so he shook his head and said: "Too much, 50,000 cattle and sheep, and 10,000 war horses." ”

The generals all subconsciously grinned, happy, this guy still wants to bargain with our boss, he really thinks he is a green onion!

"Hehe, Your Excellency Sanhad, Ben Shuai will give you a pound of small black tea, how about going back and sharing half of the Tuluo fire to taste?" Xu Jin smiled and picked up the teacup.

Sanhad was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, he was going to send off guests, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for the kindness of the Duke of Yasukuni, this is not in a hurry for the time being, okay, just 100,000 cattle and sheep and 50,000 war horses." ”

"Your Excellency Thornhard is really refreshing!" Xu Jin snapped his fingers, and Zhao Datou took a map over and spread it out on the table.

Xu Jin mentioned the red line on the map and said with a smile: "Take the main peak of Yanran Mountain as the boundary, and return to the Ming Dynasty in the east." ”

Sanhad's face changed instantly, and he said categorically: "This is absolutely impossible!" ”

Xu Jin put down his pen and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Sanhad, don't be in a hurry to refuse, it's not too late to go back and discuss with Tuluohuo before replying to Ben Shuai." ”

Sanhad was secretly angry in his heart, compensating cattle, sheep and horses is a trivial matter, and it is impossible to cut the land, if he agrees, he will definitely be scolded by future generations.

"Okay, I'll go back and discuss with Tuluohuo, and then reply to the Duke of Yasukuni." Although Sanhard was annoyed in his heart, he was worried that Xu Jin would order a shot in his head, so he didn't dare to refuse directly, and he would get out first.

After Sandhard finished speaking, he stood up and said goodbye, Xu Jin still smiled and said: "Your Excellency Sandhard doesn't need to rush back, you are here, and your father-in-law will naturally have to entertain you well, go, while the banquet is being prepared below, your father-in-law will take you around for a tour." ”

"This ...... Yasukuni received the kindness of the ...... Well, well! Sanhard tried to shirk it, but the generals immediately stared at him fiercely, and Zhao Datou even took off the flintlock pistol he was carrying, and Sanhard was so frightened that he quickly changed his words.

Xu Jin smiled, stood up and walked out of the tent, and then took Sanhard to walk around the barracks, first visited the shooting show, then visited the grenade throwing, and finally came to the foot of the mountain, where two hundred Franc machine guns had been placed.

Sanders had just watched the salvo of 5,000 musketeers and the grenade show, and his eyelids were already shocked, and when he saw the formation of 200 guns, his heart sank to the bottom.

"Fire!" Yu Linsheng gave an order, and two hundred Franc cannons fired at the same time, and all ten guns were fired out within two minutes, two thousand shells, tsk, that scene was simply devastating.

Boom Boom Boom ......

The sound of the cannon shook the ground and shook the mountain, and the mountain two miles away fell into a sea of fire, and when the smoke cleared, the originally dark stone mountain was already unrecognizable, and the top of the mountain was cut down by more than half a meter.

Just when Sanhad's heart was pounding, there was a sudden earth-shattering thunderclap, boom, like the thunder of the Nine Heavens descending, and the white waves rolled under the main peak of Yanran Mountain in the distance, as if the entire mountain had collapsed, and it turned out to be an avalanche.

Call......

In an instant, the sand and rocks flew away, and the snowflakes raised actually enveloped the entire mountain, and the fierce wind was delayed for several minutes before spreading to the front, blowing the clothes of everyone present, and the cold wind was like the wind cutting the face.

Sanhad's legs were so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground, bowed to Yan Ran Mountain, and his entourage also fell to his knees, everyone looked frightened, and while kowtowing, he muttered to himself.

The scene of the avalanche was so shocking, the white snow poured like a huge wave, and the air wave set off was like a nuclear bomb explosion, and hundreds of pounds of stones were also pushed and rolled, and the ground rumbled.

It was the first time Xu Jin had seen the horror of an avalanche, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and the generals behaved similarly, one by one dumbfounded.

"Xin'er, what are they talking about?" Xu Jin glanced at Sonhard and the others, who were prostrate and prostrate, and asked in a low voice.

Xue Bingxin understood the Tatar language and explained in a low voice: "They are saying that the mountain god is angry, and the Warat people believe in the mountain god. ”

Xu Jin frowned and sighed!

The avalanche lasted for more than ten minutes before it ended, and I saw that the main peak of Yanran Mountain, which was originally covered with snow, had changed greatly, revealing a large area of black stone cliffs.

Sanghad stood up tremblingly, looked at the main peak of Yanran Mountain blankly, his face changed, and he suddenly turned to Xu Jin and said: "Yasukuni Gong, the negotiation agreement has been signed by myself, and the east of Yanran Mountain will return to the Ming Dynasty." ”

Xu Jin smiled and said, "Your Excellency Sanhad, let's go back and discuss with Tuluohuo before coming, don't be in a hurry." ”

Sanhard hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow and say goodbye!" ”
