Chapter 1034: Not Optimistic (Second Update)
"Monte Khan, in the Ming Dynasty, the king of Zhongwu, has seen the Khan." Seeing Bai An's happy face, a smile flashed at the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, and then he walked up to Monte Khan, pressed his right hand on his chest and saluted Monte Khan according to the etiquette of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.
What is particularly surprising is that Li Yuntian actually spoke the language of the Chagatai Khanate, and he had a strong accent in the Balicheng area, which really frightened the people at the scene, and no one would have thought that Li Yuntian could actually speak the language of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.
Li Yuntian's language of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was learned a year ago, and the teacher was the translator that Narsha brought with her last time she came to the Ming Dynasty, and was left by Li Yuntian to learn the language of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.
After all, in the future, Li Yuntian would inevitably have to deal with the countries of the Western Regions, and the Western Regions used to be the territory of the Chagatai Khanate, so not only the language of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the language of the Timurid Empire established on the basis of the Western Chagatai Khanate were comprehensible, but the countries of the Western Regions also understood this language.
I have to say that Li Yuntian is still quite talented in language, and it only took more than a year to master the language of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, which is enough to communicate with the Great Khan of Monte Khan smoothly.
"Lord Wang!" Monte Khan didn't expect Li Yuntian to say the words of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and after being taken aback, he also pressed his hand to his chest and saluted Li Yuntian in return.
Although Li Yuntian was the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he was equivalent to the Great Khan of Monte in terms of status, because the Chagatai Khanate respected the Mongol Yuan as the suzerainty of the Mongol Empire, so the Great Khan of the Chagatai Khanate had the same status as the prince of the Mongol Yuan.
Now that the Ming Dynasty has replaced Meng Yuan, even Timur, the founding Khan of the Timurid Empire, had to be a vassal to Ming Taizu back then, not to mention the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.
Therefore, although the Ming Dynasty and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate had no subordinate relationship, the status of the Great Khan of Monte was one level lower than that of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and was equivalent to that of the prince of the Ming Dynasty, so the Great Khan of Monte had to return the salute to Li Yuntian.
"The prince has been tired from the journey all the way, Ben Khan has already asked people to prepare water, please bathe and change clothes." Seeing that Li Yuntian and his party were in the dust, their faces and bodies were covered with dust, they smiled and turned to Li Yuntian and said a gesture of please.
"There's a lot of sweat." Li Yuntian really wants to take a bath, these days his clothes are wet and dry due to the hot weather, and there is already an unpleasant smell on his body, and now he is eager to take a comfortable bath.
"The prince is polite, this is just a gesture." Monte Khan smiled when he heard this, and then rode into the city side by side with Li Yuntian, introducing the history of Beishi Bali City to Li Yuntian as he went, and Li Yuntian nodded from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious and warm.
At this moment, there are thousands of empty alleys in Bali City, and the main road is full of black crowds on both sides, and they all stretch their heads and look at the city gate, all wanting to know what the prince of the Ming Dynasty looks like.
In order to appease the people in the city, Monte Khan had already informed the whole city of the news that Li Yuntian had led his army to rescue Beshi Bali City, and with the defeat of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army, the people were full of interest in Li Yuntian.
When Li Yuntian and Monte Khan appeared in sight, deafening cheers rang out on both sides of the streets, giving them the warmest welcome to Li Yuntian, who had separated them from the Timurid Empire and the butcher's knife of the Northern Yuan soldiers.
Li Yuntian smiled and waved to the cheering people on both sides of the street, and even took a five or six-year-old boy from the hand of a young lady on the side of the road and put it on the saddle in front of him to pass with him.
At the gate of the palace, Concubine Anali and the newly dressed Narsa led the people waiting for Li Yuntian's arrival, and after seeing a young general walking side by side with the Great Khan of Monteli, Concubine Anali was quite surprised like the Great Khan of Monte, and they did not expect that the Zhongwu King of the Ming Dynasty would be so young.
"This is the Zhongwu King of the Ming Dynasty?" Subsequently, Concubine Anali inadvertently asked Narsa beside her, in his opinion, Li Yuntian should also be a middle-aged talent, but now he looks like he is just a young man.
"Hmm." Narsa nodded sweetly, what could be happier than Li Yuntian coming thousands of miles to save her?
"Concubine Niang." Coming to Narsa and Concubine Analie, Li Yuntian turned over and dismounted to salute Concubine Anali, and at the same time smiled and bowed slightly to Narsa, who was looking at him excitedly.
"The prince has worked hard all the way, please." Concubine Anali returned the salute to Li Yuntian with a smile, and then turned to one side to get out of the way and invited Li Yuntian into the palace.
The palace had already prepared bathing water for Li Yuntian and other senior generals who came to the rescue, and the kitchen was also preparing meals in an orderly manner.
"Lord, let the concubine wait for you to bathe." Li Yuntian followed Narsa to the place where she lived, the maids had already prepared the bath water, and Narsa personally gave Li Yuntian a wide coat with a slightly red cheek.
Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and let Narsha wait for the bath, as the saying goes, Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and the two of them naturally have to talk to each other, which makes the room have infinite spring for a while.
In the bathtub, Li Yuntian held Narsa in his arms, leaned on the wall of the bucket and closed his eyes to rest, this road can make him tired enough, and after the war outside the city is over, the cavalry of the Kansai battalion will have to recuperate for a few days to recover their strength and energy.
"Xianggong, why did you come here?" Narsa leaned happily on Li Yuntian's strong chest, and asked faintly, how much she hoped that this warm and happy moment could stay forever, and when there was no one in private, she also called Li Yuntian like Lei Ting and Nuo Min, so that it sounded closer.
"The Western Expeditionary Army was defeated, and the Prime Minister had to come to clean up the mess." The corners of Li Yuntian's mouth suddenly showed a helpless wry smile, and then he hugged Narsha in his arms hard, "Xianggong knows that you are worried about Concubine Anali in your heart, and you will definitely not listen to Xianggong's words and go to Guanxi Qinglong City, if Xianggong doesn't come, I'm afraid I won't see you again in the future." ”
Obviously, Li Yuntian's first sentence is an official explanation, and the second sentence is an expression of his feelings for Narsa, if Narsa obeys Li Yuntian's words and stays in Qinglong City in Kansai, then there will be no worries about her life today.
But how could Narsa abandon Concubine Anali, who raised her and treated her like her own daughter, so she stayed in Beshbali City to accompany Princess Anali.
"Lord Wang......" Narsha knew that this was Li Yuntian's true feelings, and her heart suddenly had mixed feelings, knowing that Li Yuntian had also come to lose Bali City this time, and she was both happy and guilty in her heart.
Although Li Yuntian relieved the siege of Beishi Bali City, but Beishi Bali City is thousands of miles away from Guanxi, and the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty will definitely not sit idly by and watch Li Yuntian return to Qinglong City with Monte Khan and Concubine Anali and others, and will definitely send troops to surround and intercept them, and the real difficulties and tests are still ahead.
"You and I are husband and wife, and whatever you do for you is worth it." Li Yuntian knew that Narsa was in a more excited mood, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xianggong will definitely return to Kansai with someone safely." ”
"Narsa, what do you think of Gurrusa?" Then, Li Yuntian turned around and asked.
"Gullusa?" Narsha couldn't help but feel a little strange when she heard this, turned her head and glanced at Li Yuntian who was taking a break with her eyes closed, she didn't expect Li Yuntian to know about this traitor, and after a while, she said, "He is the cousin of the Great Khan, the most capable general of our khanate, and he is deeply trusted and respected by the Great Khan, but I didn't expect him to betray the Great Khan!" ”
"This person is just confused for a while, at least he is not afraid of death, the prime minister heard that he and the Great Khan of Monte had a heated debate on the life and death of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the main hall, it seems that he still has the Khanate in his heart, but the way he chose is wrong."
Li Yuntian felt that Narsa's tone became a little cold after mentioning Gurusa, so he said with a smile, "The reason why Gurusa made the wrong choice is because of the situation, and secondly, it was also instigated by those traitorous ministers who sought glory. ”
"Xianggong, do you mean to let the Great Khan reuse Gullusa?" Narsa was taken aback when she heard this, you must know that Gurrusa is in favor of surrender, and if Monte Khan hands over the military power to Gurrusa, then the army of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate will be completely finished.
"One time, another time." Li Yuntian knew Narsa's worries, so he opened his eyes with a smile and said quietly, "The reason why Gurlusa wants to surrender is because he can't see the hope of breaking through the enemy forces outside the city, and now that the enemy forces outside the city have been defeated, and the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty are about to arrive in Kansai, he will definitely not make a foolish choice again." ”
"Now that the Khanate is in danger, we must unite all the forces we can to fight together against foreign enemies, Gurrusa is not the kind of person who is bent on betraying the country for glory, and the Great Khan should give him a chance."
Saying that, Li Yuntian's tone became solemn, "Although it seems that staying in the Khanate is a glorious thing, being able to take charge of the military power of the Khanate, but in fact, it has to bear a great risk, if Xianggong is not mistaken, there are not many soldiers in the Khanate who can be used to fight after this catastrophe, so this is actually not a good errand, and a person who can deal with the enemy army is needed to lead the troops." ”
"But will Gurrusa accept this task?" Narsa was slightly stunned when she heard this, thinking that Li Yuntian was reasonable, and then asked worriedly.
Unlike the Ming Dynasty, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was somewhat similar to the Timurid Empire, and the territory within the Khanate consisted of states and tribes that jointly honored Monte as the Great Khan.
Strictly speaking, the Great Khan of Monte was in charge of only the Yili Commanderi headquarters of the three major tribes of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and although the territories of the Turpan and Yarkand tribes also belonged to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, they had very large autonomous powers, for example, Turpan began to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty in the fourth year of Yongle, and Liucheng and Huozhou, which were located in the Turpan region, also paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty in the fifth year of Yongle.
The forces of the Yili Commander Headquarters had already suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Timurid Empire, so the Eastern Chagatai Khanate now directly controlled a limited number of troops, in addition to the 30,000 troops in the city of Besanbali, there were tens of thousands of people in the surrounding areas, and it was very difficult to compete with the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, which had superior forces.
Moreover, the Great Khan of Monte will definitely bring the 30,000 people from the city of Beshbali to Guanxi, he is the Great Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and he naturally has military power at hand, and this is also to preserve his strength, so that Gurrusha will have to go to the surrounding area to raise troops and deal with the forces of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty, which is really a chore.
"If he really thinks about the Khanate in his heart, then he will definitely take on this task!" Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and said confidently.
He had long been well aware of the situation in the court of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and he knew Gurrusha very well, who had always been conceited and would definitely accept this difficult task.
