Chapter 1028: Ilduzi

Huang Taiji's abacus played very well, that is, among the left-wing Mongolian tribes of Horqin, find a person who is also a descendant of Mangus, who is also from the Borzigit family, and has a certain strength, and named him Baylor.

On the one hand, find an opponent for Zhaisang among the Horqin left-wing Mongolian tribes, divide the Horqin left-wing Mongolian tribes, and make Zhaisang more dependent on the support of the Houjin State, and dare not deviate from Germany a little.

On the other hand, if one day in the future, Zhaisang, the strongest of the left-wing Mongol tribes in Horqin, really separates from the Houjin State, he can also support another figure in the Horqin left-wing Mongol tribes.

And this character, Huang Taiji chose to choose and choose, and chose Ilduqi, who was suitable in all aspects.

However, Huang Taiji's approach not only did not win Ilduqi's allegiance, but also deepened Jaisang's dissatisfaction with Huang Taiji to a certain extent.

This Ilduzi was one of Jaisan's cousins, the father of both of them, and the brother of the same mother.

In other words, Jaisan and Ilduqi share a grandfather and grandmother.

Of course, such a blood relationship, in the Mongolian steppe or in the Jurchens of the Later Jin Kingdom, was originally nothing, and they would part ways in a few minutes because of their interests, or even turn against each other.

But Jaisan and Ilduqi are different, although the two are not brothers of the same mother, but they have grown up together since childhood, and the two have no conflict of interest or ambition, and the relationship between them is better than that of many brothers of the same mother.

Therefore, this Ilduqi has always been deeply trusted by Zaisan in the Horqin Left Banner, and has become one of the important masterminds and right-hand men of Zaisang.

This time, Jaisan encountered a major event related to the future and fate of the Horqin left-wing Mongol tribes, and he could not only listen to the words of Hasgan, Agrabari, or the Ming envoys who had previously sent an envoy to Horqin, so he sent this candidate who was important enough in the Horqin left-wing Mongol tribes and could be trusted by him.

Agrabari led the little Bel Ilduzi and his escort on the left flank of Korqin to set out south from Chaganhot in mid-March, and after more than a month, arrived outside Zhangjiakou in mid-April.

Of course, if it weren't for the pedestrian token issued by the Ming Dynasty Imperial Court in the hands of Agrabari, this small contingent of messengers from the Horqin left-wing Mongol tribe would not have been able to pass safely through the territories belonging to the Kulun, Karaqin, and Duolun tribes south of the Taer River and south of the Xilamulun River.

Even so, after the messenger team arrived outside Zhangjiakou, they still waited outside the mouth for more than half a month, and they were not allowed to enter Zhangjiakou until Wang Jiadong, the deacon and eunuch of the Hengxing Company of the Internal Affairs Government in Zhangjiakou, reported the news to Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office.

After such a delay, Agrabari and Ilduqi and their entourage did not enter the city of Beijing until the first day of the fifth month.

Emperor Chongzhen first asked the Li Fan Yuan to receive Ilduqi and his party, and then asked Manzhu Xili to accompany the noble concubine Hailanzhu, and personally went to the Gongshun Marquis's Mansion to meet Ilduqi and others.

It wasn't until the two sides communicated with each other that Hai Lanzhu returned to the palace and told Emperor Chongzhen about the identity of Ilduqi and the intention of Zhaisang to send Ilduqi, and Emperor Chongzhen personally summoned Agrabari and Ilduqi and his party in the Qianqing Palace.

On the morning of the sixth day of the fifth month of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Agrabari and Ilduqi, under the guidance of their old acquaintances Yang Zhen and Deng Tianhe, the military attachés of the imperial front, passed through one deep palace gate after another, and finally came to the core of the Forbidden City, that is, the Qianqing Palace where Emperor Chongzhen lived.

In the Forbidden City in May, it is the season when all kinds of precious flowers and trees bloom.

After entering the Forbidden City, Ilduqi had no time to care about the beautiful flowers and trees he encountered along the way.

Because the closer he was to the Qianqing Palace, the closer he was to the palace where His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty lived, the more Ilduqi couldn't help but tremble.

Forty-six or seventeen-year-old Ilduqi is also well-informed, and he has been to the capital of the Later Jin Kingdom, whether it is the current Shenyang City, or the Liaoyang City before Shenyang City, or even the original old city of Hetuala.

But all those cities that were once very majestic in his eyes are far from being comparable to the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty.

All the palace complexes that once made him feel that they were already huge and extravagant were far from being comparable to the Forbidden City in front of him.

Like all those who have just entered the Forbidden City, Ilduqi from Chaganhot City in the Left Banner of Horqin has never straightened his waist since he passed through the Chengtian Gate, especially before the noon gate, and after passing through the noon gate, he almost couldn't help but kneel directly on the ground.

Along the way, he didn't have the heart to think about anything else at all, and only thought about how to tell Zhai Sang what he had told him after meeting His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and be more tactful and humble.

After he followed Yang Zhen, Deng Tianhe and others, who had already known him before, into the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, facing Emperor Chongzhen on the throne in the distance, he didn't need anyone to speak, Ilduqi couldn't stand anymore, and just crossed the threshold, he knelt straight on the gold brick in the palace gate, and said something:

"In the power of longevity, the great blessing is in the shade of protection, and ......"

Ilduqi spoke Korqin Mongolian, and his voice was slightly dry and hoarse because of his nervousness and urgency.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the throne of the Mingtang in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, although he didn't understand it very well, he probably knew that he was saluting to express his respect.

Now around Emperor Chongzhen, there are already many Mongolians who were born in the Outer Mongolian tribes, especially those who were born in the Horqin Mongolian tribe.

When these people talked and communicated with Emperor Chongzhen, they all insisted on using Chinese, but they had more contact, and Emperor Chongzhen also learned some simple Mongolian.

Especially in the daily communication with the noble concubine Hai Lanzhu, Yifei Ulan Tuya and Ning Concubine Su Rina, they were more or less affected.

At the very least, he could hear that Ilduqi was saying good things, a kind of cliché specially used to compliment the emperor in the Mengyuan era.

This is exactly the case, as soon as Ilduqi finished speaking, the noble concubine Hai Lanzhu, who was sitting on a brocade bench in front of the right under the throne of the emperor of the Qianqing Palace, immediately translated what Ilduqi said:

"Emperor! As the envoy of Horqin's left-wing Mongolia, Ilduqi Abaga wishes God to the Supreme Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty the country's prosperity, good health, and the four seas!

"The Horqin left-wing Mongolian tribes are willing to serve His Majesty the Ming Emperor as they serve the Immortal Heaven, and ask Your Majesty to grant the Horqin left-wing Mongolian tribes the favor of going to the border of the Ming Dynasty to conduct tea and horse exchanges and other trade!"

It turned out that as soon as this Ilduqi entered the palace gate, he told all the purposes for his visit to the Ming Dynasty this time.

Emperor Chongzhen already knew the purpose of sending Ilduqi and his entourage to the Ming Jingshi, and if he was really ready to refuse, he would not have specially summoned this Ilduqi today.

On the issue of how to deal with the Horqin left-wing Mongolian tribes, Emperor Chongzhen's mood has always been quite complicated and entangled, and if it is just because of an innocuous word of submission, it is really a bit more than worth the loss to open the tea and horse market and other trade to the Horqin left-wing tribes.

However, it is certainly not possible to ignore it completely.

I can't explain it to my harem, after all, Concubine Lan, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Ning are all from Horqin.

Second, it is also inconsistent with the strategy about Horqin that he set before.

Now the question is only whether the Horqin left-wing Mongol tribes are for themselves or for the Jurchens, or to what extent they are for themselves and to what extent they are for the Jurchens.

If they only limited their trade to the Horqin left-wing Mongol tribes, or even the Horqin Mongol tribes, and did not extend to the Jin kingdom after the establishment of the captivity, then Emperor Chongzhen could completely let go of all goods except for new firearms such as guns and ammunition.

But so far, the performance of the Horqin left-wing Mongol tribes has not been enough to gain the full trust of Emperor Chongzhen.

After listening to the translation and paraphrasing of the noble concubine Hai Lanzhu, he nodded with a smile, tidied up his clothes, walked down slowly from the throne, and under the standing eyes of everyone, he walked to Ilduqi's side, bent down, and helped Ilduqi who was kneeling on the ground, and then turned his head to the concubine Hai Lanzhu who was following him and said:

"You tell Ilduqi Abaga on behalf of me that the Horqin left-wing Mongolian Borzigit clan and I are also in-laws, as long as the Horqin left-wing is sincerely attached and accepts the canonization of the imperial court, in the future, it will not be a problem for the Horqin left-wing departments to travel to Zhangjiakou and other places and trade with the Ming Dynasty!"

Abaga, in Mongolian, is equivalent to the Chinese word for uncle.

A title similar to that of Ilduqi Abaga came out of Emperor Chongzhen's mouth, and at this moment, everyone in the Qianqing Palace who could understand the meaning of this word had an incredible expression.
