Chapter 163: Chahar Ministry (Asking for Recommendation Votes)

Polochi took out the letter of Abnai Khan from his bosom and presented it to Liu Hongji.

Liu Hong gradually squinted his eyes and slowly opened it to see.

I ...... day What the hell! How is it all bird language, except for the stamped seal letter that looks a little familiar, the rest are strings of symbols.

Liu Hong gradually looked at it again and again, but he still didn't know what was going on, and the bull mallet behind him was a little curious, so he leaned up and took a look, and he also pouted.

He didn't even know Chinese characters, he was just making a fool of himself, and he was even eating.

Liu Hong gradually glanced up at Polochi, who also looked at him with a look of hope.

"Your Abunai Khan, but a descendant of Lindan Khan? Since you have surrendered to the Jurchens, why did you come to me again? ”

Of course Liu Hongjian will not ask Polo Chi to translate, that would be too undignified for my Ming Dynasty, and besides, this letter is nothing more than saying that if you want to form an alliance, you will definitely have to go to the palace later, are you afraid that there will be no translation?

"Your Excellency the Marquis, Abnei Khan is the youngest son of Lin Dan Khan and the younger brother of Ezhe Khan.

Our department has come with sincerity, and I hope that His Excellency the Marquis will also put aside his old suspicions, after all, we all have a common enemy! ”

Polochi seemed to hear Liu Hongji's ridicule, although he was a little annoyed in his heart, but after all, he had lived for more than sixty years and had a heavy responsibility, so he still had a kind face.

"Oh, what Your Excellency is talking about is Jiannu! It's just a vulgar clan, under my Ming Iron Guard, I can't make any waves, and I can fight the Jiannu Tartars who can fight with 20,000 Ming Hundred Battles and abandon their armor!

If you are here for this matter, please come back! ”

Liu Hong gradually spoke out unashamedly.

"Hahaha, the Marquis's ability Polochi must not be underestimated, but according to the investigation of the headquarters, from Shanhaiguan to Xuanfu and even the Yansui defense line, there are not many border troops in the Ming Dynasty, and the cavalry is even more scarce, and it has reached the point of scarcity!"

Polochi laughed.

"Could it be that Lord Marquis can wipe out nearly 60,000 Jurchen iron horsemen with just foot soldiers?"

Although the Chahar tribe was oppressed by the Jurchens, the most important thing the Mongols lacked was horses, and Polochi was a little proud.

"What's the matter with you?" Liu Hong gradually got tired of Polo Chi with a stinky face, and went back directly.

Polochi: ......

Polo Chi has a black line on his face, he is the Bija (du) Chi of the Chahar Department (equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Rites), an argumentative talent, and has always been a mouthful of words in the clan and has never been defeated.

He had thought of countless possible responses from the Ming people, and he had also thought of countless ways to refute them.

But the sentence 'What's your business?' Polochi was speechless.

Yes, although the Ming Dynasty lacks cavalry, what does it have to do with them, and they didn't eat your family's food and drink your family's, so why use you to jump out and scream.

But Polochi had to endure it.

After the death of Lin Dan Khan, the successor of the Chahar tribe, Ezhe, was only twelve years old, and the tribal affairs were all handled by the Empress Dowager Sutai, but Ezhe died within two years of his pro-government.

The successor is Lin Dan Khan's widow, Ezhe's younger brother Abunai, Abunai is younger, now only nine years old, and the Empress Dowager Sutai has no choice but to support the heavy responsibility of the Chahar Ministry.

However, the Jurchens were strong, constantly oppressing and bullying their orphans and widows, and under the unspeakable suffering, I heard that there was a god of war in the Ming Dynasty.

Not only did they defeat Zilharang in the tenth month, but they also captured Duoduo alive, and that's not all, a few months later, they actually destroyed the kingdom of Dashun, which was adjacent to them.

The old and dignified Empress Dowager Sutai could no longer sit still, and the Jurchens not only recruited troops in their tribe, but also took away their horses, dividing the internal relations of the Chahar tribe.

Many leaders in the clan have already had a gap in their hearts, trying to separate the Chahar Department, which is the blood of Lin Dan Khan's life, how can she bear to see the Khanate fall in her own hands?

Although the Ming Dynasty is weak and not a strong ally, at least they never meddle in their clan's affairs, the Jurchen tribe is too hateful, they are both nomads, and naturally know how to weaken a tribe.

Hearing that the Ming Dynasty had produced an immortal general, he won the trust of the Ming Emperor, so he quickly sent Polo Chi to visit the upstart of the Ming Empire, wanting to explore the intentions of the Ming Dynasty.

Polochi was entrusted by the Empress Dowager Su Tai in every possible way this time, but he had already made a package ticket, even if he endured humiliation and burden, he had to get things done, so he went back in such a gloomy way, how to meet the Great Khan and the Queen Mother.

"My lord, what our Great Khan means is that the Ming Dynasty is short of horses, we are willing to exchange horses for grain and tea, and return to the glory of the old tea and horse market, and we are willing to re-ally with the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Jurchen people together!"

At the negotiation table, whoever shows his hole cards first means who loses the opportunity first, Polo Chi is annoyed in his heart, his opponent is just a young man, and he is inexplicably defeated.

"Hmph, you still know that the tea and horse market, I treated you well back then, why did you surrender to Jiannu treacherously? Now you want to come and trade with my Daming, but your ministry has no food to eat?

Or, did you exchange precious grain from Daming and send it to Jiannu? To please your new master? ”

Liu Hong gradually became more and more violent, although he knew that what the person in front of him said should be the truth, but these Tartars have always bullied the soft and feared the hard, the tougher you are, the more unreasonable you are, the more they are afraid of you.

But if you change to an old Wenchen who is dying, and he also talks to them, it will only make these people feel vulnerable.

"Your Excellency, Polochi has come with sincerity, our Chahar tribe is now on the verge of collapse, and the Jurchens are not only going to divide our people, but also to collect our horses, cattle and sheep.

In this way, all the tribes are panicked, and I, the Empress Dowager Sutai, also regret that I surrendered to the Jurchen tribe in the first place.

By the way, according to the detailed report of our department on the Jurchen side, the Jurchen tribe has newly recruited tens of thousands of foot horses in various parts of the Mongolian steppe, and is now fighting hard to ...... horses."

"What?" Polo was terrified, and was interrupted by Liu Hong as soon as he said half of his words.

The Manchus conscripted again? Also conscription in the tens of thousands? Could it be that Jiannu is planning to raise the clan to fight against the water? Liu Hong's face gradually became cloudy.

This is a major matter related to the Ming Dynasty, the news is still too late, it seems that the Jinyi Guard must immediately start to arrange the sentry to ride outside the pass.

Otherwise, it would be too passive for outsiders to report such an important matter.

But now, Liu Hong gradually can't think too much.

"What you said should have been recorded, and this will go to meet the Holy One, so you should go and wait for the news first!" Liu Hong gradually said in a deep voice.

Niu Danian, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, had been waiting outside, and when he heard Liu Hong's words, he immediately came in to arrange the residence of Polochi and Gu Ran.

Niu Danian knew that this tall Polo Chi was a foreigner, and he specially arranged two capable subordinates to protect his safety.

Liu Hongjian immediately ordered his horse to gallop towards the imperial city......
