Chapter 1104: Celebration Banquet - Other Outside
Zhu Hengshi was about to say a few more words to Nanmu Fangze, when suddenly Nanmu Fangyuan, who was on the side, came over, raised his wine glass and touched him, and whispered at the same time: "My lord, Brother Fangze, Hino Shinshige is here." ”
Hearing this, Zhu Hengshi looked back and saw Hino Shinshige, who still looked a little sleepy, walking over to this side.
Zhu Hengshi hurriedly said a word to Nanmu Fangze again, and left here with Nanmu Fangyuan. Shinshige Hino, as an important general under Minamoto Yoshimitsu, knew Kusunoki Yoshigen. Kusunoki Yoshigen appeared in Igo in the name of volunteering to fight, but his appearance at the celebration banquet could not be explained at all, and it could not be noticed by Shinshige Hino.
Zhu Hengshi returned to his position, asked Nanmu Fangyuan and Beibi Yuanxin to sit well and not run around, and he held the wine glass but walked around. His face has changed a lot from before, and he is recognized by Shinshige Hino, so he doesn't care about it.
Zhu Hengshi said a few words of laughter with several generals who had fought side by side, caught a glimpse of Song Hu, thought about it and decided to walk over. In his mind, most of the armies from the Central Plains would not participate in the subsequent Western Expedition, and most of them would have Zhu Shangbing, the king of Qin, as the commander and Song Sheng as the deputy commander. Zhu Shangbing and Song Sheng's status is too high for him to touch, but Song Sheng's second son Song Hu is also a commander, and it may be almost useful to set up tricks with him in advance.
But when he walked over, he found that Song Hu was already talking to two people beside him. Zhu Hengshi first saluted Song Hu and said, "I've seen Commander Song." Then he looked at the other two and said, "Forgive me, I don't know which general this is?" ”
"I've seen Commander Zhu." Song Hu returned the salute, and then smiled at him: "Zhu Hengshi, you have little contact with Mongolian soldiers, and you don't know these two. The strong man on my left, who looks less than thirty, is the Khan King of Yili, and the thirty-year-old on my right hand is the King of Shunning in Warat. ”
"I've seen two princes." Zhu Heng made up his mind: the two of them may not know about the western expedition, but they must have wanted to take advantage of the defeat of Timur to conquer the land and people of Samarkand. It's not enough to have a higher status, so just talk to Song Hu like him.
"I've seen Commander Zhu." Mahamu didn't know the details, but Sha Michagan knew that this person was very valued by the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, and he couldn't help but be careful. Mahamu saw that Shami Chagan's tone was respectful, and although he looked down on him after learning about Yili's performance before and after, he unconsciously followed his approach at this time.
"I don't know what the two princes are talking about with Commander Song?" Zhu Hengshi asked seemingly casually.
"Don't hide it from Zhu's commander, my country's original name was the Chagatai Khanate, and the entire Samarkand under the original rule of Timur was part of my Chagatai Khanate, but it relied on its own strong soldiers and horses, and it happened that the Khan of our country was also very mixed at that time, and the people of the land were forcibly taken away by him."
"Now that Timur's Eastern Expedition has brought about its own destruction, and his people have also been defeated and killed, I want to ask the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help me regain the lost land. I also know that the Ming soldiers were homesick after a series of battles, so they did not ask for how many troops the Ming Dynasty sent, nor did they seek to recover all the lost land, as long as they could recover the east of the Syr Darya. Sha Michagan said it very calmly.
"I'm also here to ask Daming for help. The land north of Lake Balkhash and west of the Irtysh River was also the pasture of my Warat, but it was taken away by Timur. Now that his soldiers have been defeated and killed, he wants to take back the pasture. ”
"I don't ask Daming to send troops to help, I just want to be able to exchange all the rewards given to me for weapons and armor. It would be nice if you could reward a few firearms. Seeing that Shami Chagan was calm, Mahamu did not hide it.
Zhu Hengshi nodded and did not speak. Song Hu saw that he had no intention of getting involved, and said to the two: "King Yili Khan, King Shunning, I am just a guard commander, if the official position is not small in normal times, but at this time it is not a fart here, such a thing The two princes still go to His Majesty to ask or discuss with His Royal Highness the King of Qin, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and General Xu." There was impatience in his tone, and it seemed that Shami Chagan had been pestering him for a while.
Shami Chagan and Mahamu didn't dare to get too entangled to annoy Song Hu, and when they saw that he had someone else to talk to, they could only bow and retreat.
"Whew! The two of them are gone. Mahamu is okay, Sha Michagan will come to me every day these days, it's really annoying! Song Hu complained.
"Not only them, but also the Mongols from the east, such as those of Wuliang Ha Sanwei, the small tribes who ran from the Mongolian steppe, and the Mongols in Qinghai who wanted to eat enough to fight because of the famine, all came to me with gifts, which annoyed me to death." Of course, Song Hu is not an honest person, but he also has his own principles, not to mention that how to deal with this matter is decided by the emperor, General Xu, and His Royal Highness King Qin, and he can't intervene and dare not accept their gifts. And it was painful to see that the gifts could not be accepted, and these people had to make him miserable for days in a row, because he didn't have a good impression of them.
"If it weren't for the fact that they pestered me so much, I guess I would have told them a little bit about what I knew. They will all be sent to the west. It just won't be as they expected. Song Hu said again.
These words sounded to ordinary people, and they probably thought that the Ming Dynasty was going to send troops to seize the land of the Seven Rivers. But Zhu Hengshi had already known the truth of the matter in advance, and suddenly speculated about something.
But it doesn't have much to do with him. Zhu Hengshi chatted with Song Hu casually, and suddenly noticed an abnormal situation, and asked, "Why didn't you see the commander of the right guard of the government army?" ”
"My eldest brother, because the left and right guards of the government army lost too many soldiers, he felt that he couldn't stand the soldiers under him, so he didn't come to the celebration banquet today." Song Hu said.
"The soldiers of the left and right guards of the government army are really worthy of admiration, and all of them are the most heroic warriors in the world now. From this point of view, they should be rewarded more generously. Zhu Hengshi couldn't help but say.
"If only that were the case." Song Hu said.
They chatted for a while, and suddenly the sound of music came from the front, Zhu Hengshi knew that the emperor was coming, and hurriedly said goodbye to Song Hu and returned to his table.
When he returned, the table was full, and he was busy greeting those who were seated at the same table.
"Commander Qin, why did you arrange you here?" "The emperor said that after this battle, he will transfer me back to the capital." "Congratulations to Commander Qin."
"Commander Suo Hai and Commander Qin are all going to be promoted back to the capital, and you should also be promoted to commander." "Lend you good words."
Zhu Hengshi greeted several people successively, and was stunned when the last two of them were stunned, and then said: "I've seen Commander Lang and Commander Tong." ”
"I've seen Commander Zhu." Lang Yimian and Dongguang also agreed.
Zhu Hengshi hesitated, as if he was about to say something again; But at this moment, Yun Xi walked out of the backstage, and he had to stop and get up to salute.
