Chapter 8 Zhongjin Hatun
Chang Sihao was stunned for a moment when he saw the girl's intimate appearance with Sonam Gyatso, but he didn't see Qin Langchuan's eyes.
Sonam Gyatso was afraid that they would have a misunderstanding due to suspicion, so he hurriedly introduced: "This is Zhongjin Hatun, the wife of Altan Khan. β
Qin Langchuan knew that Hatun was the meaning of Mrs. Mengyu, and said in amazement: "She is the third lady Zhongjin?" Sonam Gyatso nodded. Zhong Jin smiled and said, "Old uncle, do you know me too?" Qin Langchuan was even more surprised when he heard her pronunciation incoherent, but her pronunciation was correct, and she spoke Chinese very well, and said, "Can you speak Chinese?"
Zhong Jin glanced at Sonam Gyatso with a smile and said, "Yes, I can speak Tibetan, I was taught by my elder brother, Gu Suo Debo drank and worshipped, and the name was Kare?" Qin Langchuan's mind spun rapidly, thinking that this could be my plan? Why didn't he show up, but let his wife come out? Or did Sonam Gyatso set some trap? No matter what, he had already come to this point, so he had no choice but to go on, and arched his hand: "Old man Qin Langchuan." Zhong Jin looked at Chang Sihao: "What about you?"
Chang Sihao saw that this girl had a lively and cheerful appearance, and the murderous aura before entering the tent had already dissipated without a trace, and hurriedly replied: "My name is Chang Sihao." Zhong Jin's gaze swept around his face and said with a smile, "Your face is like Shamujia's crow." Sonam Gyatso laughed and said, "Everywhere the crows are all the same black, Zhong Jin, don't just laugh, what about Altan Khan?"
Zhong Jin rolled his eyes and pouted, "He led 80,000 cavalry and attacked Datong." β
"What?" Sonam Gyatso asked, "When did he leave?"
Zhong Jin said: "Last night. β
Qin Langchuan's mind flashed, and he already understood that the Tartar infantry had few and many cavalry, and they often ran long distances, and they had to leave immediately, like the wind sweeping the ground, and they came here to deliberately march slowly, just to make the defenders mistakenly think that they were going to change the route to attack elsewhere, and they were lighter than guarded, so as to carry out a surprise attack.
80,000 cavalry.
It turned out that I didn't bluff when I replied, but I was a step late and didn't catch up!
Eighty thousand is just a number, behind it, there are flesh and blood, men in the prime of life, and a fierce and strong, vigorous war horse, and a sharp scimitar.
Since Genghis Khan's conquest of the various tribes of the Mongolian plateau, there has been an unprecedented unity in the steppes, the territory of the Yuan Dynasty has almost extended to the limit of the land where horses can reach, and the nomadic herders of the various tribes are uniformly called Mongols, and Tatar is the common name for them by the Han Chinese. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Yuan declined, the parts were split, the powerful tile thorn almost annexed the Tatars, eighty-seven years ago, Dayan Khan succeeded to the throne, conquered the thorns, quelled the rebellion, after several battles, the steppe was reunified, became the king of Tatar Zhongxing, after his death, the Tatars were divided again, his grandson, that is, the young Altan Khan, on the stage of history, decades later, the Tatar tribes have submitted to his command!
Whether it is Genghis Khan, Dayan Khan or Altan Khan, they can become the strongest because they have the strongest cavalry in the world that can make any nation in the world fearful.
Last winter, Su Heba Shou, the general of my command, led the cavalry and the Datong general Cui Shirong to fight in Fanpiling, breaking 3,000 with 500 and beheading more than 1,400 people, Cui Shirong and his two sons all died heroically, but only 75 people in Sukhba Shou's army were slightly injured, what kind of courage is this!
Now, there are as many as 80,000 cavalry like that, and they are rushing to Datong.
According to the time calculation, perhaps the siege is already in place at this moment.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Qin Langchuan's forehead.
What to do?
If you want to break through the defense line of 80,000 troops and assassinate Alta in the fierce attack and defense, is it possible to do it even if you are thirty years young? Or wait until the truce to sneak into the army to act? However, before that, you can watch the soldiers and civilians defending the city be slaughtered in blood?
His gaze fell on the third lady, Zhong Jin.
This girl, no, is a young woman, she is the daughter of Zheheng Aha, the leader of the Chilagut tribe, she married Alta when she was eight years old, and now she is only seventeen years old, and it is said that she is smart and bold, good at singing, dancing and archery, and is my favorite woman.
The fact that she led a large army into battle and left her 3,000 Iron Guards behind to protect her has already shown the reliability of the rumors.
Although he has no combat power, but at this moment, Chang Sihao made a move to kill Sonam Gyatso first, and then killed Wu Enqi, these maids are not worried, it is definitely not difficult to rob Zhongjin!
Thinking that you don't have to worry about disarming, this is a mistake of your Tatars, when the two countries exchange troops, so naΓ―ve and undefended, it is really no wonder that others, of course, all this is also given by Baisonam Gyatso, if there is no him, Beishan and the two divisions will not die, and the group will not be delayed for so long, maybe they can catch up with the iron cavalry of Alta. But without him, the two of us would not have been able to come to the camp so easily and magnificently.
Butβ
The kidnapping used a seventeen-year-old woman to threaten Alta, this kind of thing......
He glanced to his side.
Chang Sihao's spine was stiff and his shoulders were heavy, his body was as calm as a gun, and his face was expressionless.
It is absolutely impossible for a dignified man to ask him to do such a thing as kidnapping Zhong Jin, and with his character, I am afraid that even letting him meet no matter what Sonam Gyatso said, directly assassinating me to answer this matter has also aroused a certain amount of disgust. Qin Langchuan looked at Chang Sihao's face, and suddenly his heart calmed down a lot.
Regardless of whether I use it or not, whether it has an effect or not, in the end, I can only see the real chapter on the battlefield.
Bright red blood is the most real thing. For such a battle-hardened hero, could a little woman really be able to coerce him?
Although Zhong Jin, the third lady, is favored, but in the face of the eyes of his 100,000 soldiers, what choice will I make?
Nothing compares to the military heart!
This road is not working, and it seems that there is only a hard fight. The two armies are fighting, the competition is physical strength and endurance, no matter how good the martial arts are, in the face of thousands of troops, it is just that before they are killed, they can pull a few more quilts.
It's a man, so he will face each other on the battlefield of the two armies! Xiaohao, you must be thinking like this in your heart!
Qin Langchuan showed a slight smile on his face, as if he had found in him some of the feelings that he was not afraid of when he was a teenager, but the idea of letting him take the hijacking of Zhong Jin was unconsciously dispelled.
Seeing that Sonam Gyatso was thinking and seemed worried, Zhong Jin asked, "Senior brother, are you looking for him for the purpose of teaching the Dharma?"
Sonam Gyatso said: "Although the matter of teaching the Dharma is important, it can be negotiated slowly, and the most urgent thing at the moment is to persuade him to return to the army and not start a war. β
Zhong Jin frowned lightly: "What's the use of persuading this matter? He didn't even listen to me." β
Qin Langchuan's heart moved: "It turns out that her position is not the main battle. β
Zhong Jin said: "He asked the Ming Dynasty for 33 years to pay tribute to the matter of trade, and each time it was a failure, in fact, Tonggong can let everyone take what they need, which is a good thing for both sides, why do they refuse to agree? Last year, Emperor Sejong died stubbornly, and he thought that the new emperor would make a difference, but the request was rejected again, and he was so angry that he used almost all the elite this year, in order to give them something powerful. β
Sonam Gyatso said: "I'm afraid it's useless, as far as I know, now the Ming Dynasty is presided over by Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng, and the emperor also relies on them for everything. β
Zhong Jindao: " Well, the envoy sent last time at least saved his life and came back, just because Zhang Juzheng spoke, but their attitude is still the same, there are many things involved in tribute and trade, such as the defense of the border has made the Jin merchants, these people have made a lot of money by buying and selling military supplies, and this road to wealth will be cut off after paying tribute, so they all tried their best to bribe the officials of the Ming Dynasty to prevent this matter, so that it was difficult to reach a collegiate agreement on the talks, in addition, as long as the blockade is broken, we can gradually prosper, which is a threat to the Ming Dynasty, they have to take it into account, from the people to the imperial court, there is resistance in all aspects, so this matter is deadlocked to this dayγ β
There is indeed a huge demand for armaments and materials for border defense, and the Qin family also earns considerable profits in this regard every year. Qin Langchuan secretly admired, this girl was born in a wild place, at a young age, but she knows so much about military and political affairs, and her analysis is also methodical, it is really not simple, it seems that I have a deeper truth in her favor.
Sonam Gyatso paced a few steps in the tent and said: "No matter what, by harassing the border and looting everywhere can only make the situation worse and worse, and develop in an unfavorable direction, I am afraid that now he has started fighting with the Ming army, Zhong Jin, can you find a way to stop this?" Wu Enqi said: "The princess has been dissuaded many times, and the Great Khan has also wavered, but the eldest prince Huang Taiji insists on raising troops, his temper is violent, and there are many people in the main battle, so the princess has no choice." β
Sonam Gyatso was silent, and fell into contemplation for a while, Qin Langchuan thought to himself that I had already led the troops to go, I didn't know what the battle situation was, and I couldn't bear to rob Zhong Jin as a hostage, so what good was it to stay?
"Wait," Zhong Jin smiled, "How can you two leave like this?"
