"Open the gates! I am the Son of Heaven and Mrs. Zhongshun, why don't you allow me to enter the customs, so that your town will come to the city to see me! ”

Under the pass of Hukou City, the three ladies of the grassland on the back of the majestic iron-hoofed horse swept through the wilderness in a red robe.

Her guards were all resting in the depressed wine shop on the back slope of the undulating official road three hundred steps away from the city gate, and more than a dozen weather-covered men on the grassland sat on the bench wearing bright border army cotton armor, their palms did not leave the sword and bow for a moment, and the evil qi on their bodies and the brown blood stains on their clothes and armor made the shopkeepers dare not speak.

The shop has not seen such tension between Ming and Mongolia for many years, but in the past, they were accustomed to seeing the Biansaidun army asking for wine money from Hu Er in the past, and Hu Er intercepting Han Jia competing to sell skins.

However, in the middle of the month, prosperity has become a mirror of flowers.

Further north, there were several rangers on guard, and at this moment, the chaos in the steppe made them even more tense.

Ming Jun and Xin Ai Huang Taiji, no matter which one of them is likely to kill them...... These loyal and simple-minded warriors couldn't figure it out anyway, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had summoned their mistress in the Forbidden City a few months ago, leaving the little prince to study in the country, and why he suddenly treacherously deployed troops on the Great Wall after a few months of ordinary life, causing civil strife in Mongolia.

After all, the three ladies did not wait for the town general to enter the city, because the city gate was opened, and there was an official uniform wearing a peacock robe riding on a horse and giving it away, it was Wu Dui, the squire of the Ming Dynasty.

"Wu Gong, why?"

She has always had a deep friendship with Wu Dui, and she often went to Xuanfu as a guest in the past, and even the red bone brocade dress she is wearing now is also given by Wu Dui, although there is a difference between them, but Wu Dui treats her as kind as her own daughter.

It's just that at this time, Wu Dui shook his head slightly and sighed, and took her to the city pass, which made the third lady's heart beat violently, and she hurriedly beat the horse to keep up.

More than ten cavalry guards also entered the city pass, leaving only two horsemen to spread the message outside the city.

Not long after, after entering the side hall of the yamen in the city, Wu Dui asked: "The pro-rider is injured, and he was attacked on the way over?" ”

"When is it that Duke Wu still has the heart to take care of these, Buta Shili, Buta Shili was killed by the Son of Heaven?" When the third lady mentioned her son, her words were very eager: "Xin Ai Huang Taiji said that he would gather all the ministries and ten thousand households, saying that the Son of Heaven would kill Buta Shili and send a large army to attack us across the border fortress, is this true?" ”

"Could it be that the Son of Heaven is dissatisfied with the mutual market? For several years, I have dedicated myself to managing the mutual market for the imperial court, and the two rebellious tribes have been exterminated by my troops. ”

Wu Dui was very embarrassed at first, he pondered that he didn't know how to explain the current actions of the Ming army to the third lady, but after the third lady asked a few questions one after another, he was amused, and even the solemn atmosphere in the side hall was slightly eased, and he said: "What is the matter with this Guan Buta Shili, the little prince is living well in Beijing." ”

"The Heavenly Army is indeed out of the fortress, but it is not going to attack Tumochuan."

The third lady shook her head, she didn't believe the latter sentence, and said: "There are three times more troops on the Chengguan than there were during the mutual market, and the mutual market is also closed, if it is not for the offensive board promotion, why do you need to do this." ”

"Naturalization City doesn't know yet? The imperial court wanted to attack the barbarians, and Tumen did not respect the education and repeatedly used the troops to pass the blockage, and His Majesty wanted to send troops to encircle and suppress them as punishment. As for whether this battle will affect Tumochuan, it is not in me, but in Sanniangzi and King Shunyi. ”

"If the king of Shunyi intends to help the barbarians, then the beacon fire will rise again, if the king of Shunyi knows the benevolence of the Son of Heaven, the mutual market will reopen after the war is over, and there is no need to worry...... How was the King of Shunyi in Guihua City? ”

How is I in Naturalization City?

The third lady could only shake her head silently: "Xin Ai Huang Taiji cut off the road to the east and sent a messenger to lobby the king of Shunyi, while saying that the court killed Buta Shili and attacked him with Qingtaiji, Guihua City was disturbed by him, although the king of Shunyi did not believe in Huang Taiji, but he always couldn't stand him from being alarmist - should the Son of Heaven treat Buta Shili really well? ”

The Qingtaiji in the mouth of the third lady is the Qingjiang Dutaiji, and he is my nephew.

In the past, the Tumut tribe was only a small tribe attached to the barbarians, and Tumen Khan was the real Mongol Great Khan, but after the rise of Alta, several tribal leaders who were able to organize the Ten Thousand Cavalry Legion to fight were in addition to Tumen Khan, Jineng of Hetao, Alta in the middle, Sanniangzi of Guihua City, Huangtai Ji Xinai in the east, and Qingtai Jibalduer in the east, all of whom were members of the Tumut Department.

As early as a few decades ago, the Great Khan of Mongolia was forced by Alta to move 100,000 left-wing Mongols south, and now the best horse farms have been occupied by Xin Ai.

Repeatedly asked by the third lady, Wu Dui said helplessly: "Your Majesty said that you want to wait for Buta Shili to grow up and become the Great Khan of Mongolia, and come to do great things with him, how can you harm Buta Shili." The imperial court has made all preparations in the border fortress, you must persuade the king of Shunyi on behalf of the Son of Heaven, the barbarian department that the imperial court wants to attack, Tumochuan should not make a foolish decision. ”

"The damage to the barbarian forces is a good thing for the king of Shunyi; Xin Ai has always had the idea of embezzling Wuliang Ha Sanwei, and he did not want to belong to the Ming Dynasty, and his subordinates offered tribute horses every year to the king of Shunyi for him, everyone knew this, if only he participated in this war, the Son of Heaven would not condemn Tu Mochuan. ”

The third lady's face was cloudy, she really didn't want to tell Wu Dui that the Saibei Holy Lion had long since lost the sharpness of his prime, and he was about to go crazy by this incident recently, and she was very worried that Altan Khan, who had been ill for a long time, would be angry to death by this incident every day in Naturalization City.

was not angry to death by the Ming Dynasty on the border, but by his nephew who was toyed with by several letters from the Ming Dynasty in applause, and the most brave eldest son was full of thoughts about being an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and even faintly revealed the appearance of seizing power.

Altan Khan, who annexed the right-wing Mongols when he was young, deterred the southward migration of the left-wing Mongols, and indirectly caused the disintegration of the Uliangha Sanwei, was still able to convince the public even though he was old and sick, but he could not convince his son of the decision to join the Ming Dynasty.

"If Huang Taiji insists on uniting the barbarians, what will happen to the imperial court?" The third lady has no other life-saving straw, and at this moment she can only rely on Wu Dui: "Will the Son of Heaven be angry with Buta Shili?" ”

Wu Dui shook his head and said: "The Son of Heaven will not be angry with others because of other people's mistakes, if Xin Ai and the barbarian alliance, the court will send troops to attack Xin Ai, when the war is over, the mutual market with Tu Mochuan will still be the same, as long as the king of Shunyi does not rebel against the court, the court will not be difficult for the king of Shunyi." ”

"If there are such rumors at other times, you only need to go to Beijing to see that this is Huang Taiji's nonsense, but not at this time, for the people behind us, at this time, the two sides will fight at this time, and it will be a disaster for everyone."

After pondering the words for a moment, the third lady grabbed the placket of her clothes and asked in a low voice, "Then what if the king of Shunyi wants to stop this battle and restore the border to the way it was before the chaos began?" ”

Wu Dui could only shake his head.

He raised his hand and pointed to the letter on the table, and said, "Your Majesty's mission to the three sides of the Central Committee is not to let King Shunyi do anything, and he must also do nothing. ”

"Whatever he does, as long as he does, war comes."

"Especially you, you should not help Xin Ai, but should attack him with the imperial court, the more Xin Ai's tribe is weakened in the war, the easier it will be for Buta Shili to get more in the future - this kind of benefit, do you know?"
