Chapter 8: Beyond the Nine Sides
【Fengyun Reading Network.】
As soon as Huang Taiji heard this, he waved the scimitar in his hand, and more than 100 Tatar soldiers under his command rushed up to chop Hannaji
Wu Enqi rode forward and stopped: "Stand down, the Great Khan's 100,000 troops will enter the city immediately, who dares to make trouble" He is the commander of the Altan Iron Guard, a dignified and sincere warrior, and he is extremely intimidating on the grassland, not to mention that there are 100,000 troops behind him These 100 people froze when they landed Huang Taiji shouted: "Wu Enqi, you and I have been a brother since childhood, and you don't help me, you will kill Hannaji, I will give you 2,000 households, give you 500 head of oxen, and give you 50 beauties."
Wu Enqi said: "It's enough for my wife to marry one, what do I want to do with fifty beauties" The onlookers laughed
Chang Sihao understood: I have always wanted to let Hannaji take over as the king of Khan, and Hannaji and Zhong Jin are a gang I look down on Zhao Quan's Han people who surrendered Therefore, Zhao Quan and others took the opportunity to instigate Huang Taiji to rebel Now Zhao Quan and his gang were kidnapped to the Ming court to be tortured and returned to Han Rong The position of the king of the Khan is becoming more and more slim for Huang Taiji, so he joined forces with the shaman high priest who can't smoke and wants to kidnap a Kehatun probably to use her influence to ensure the status of his successor But this is a family affair of the Tatar royal family, and it is difficult for him to interfere So wait and see what happens
As soon as he saw that he couldn't move others, Huang Taiji shouted, "Dodge, "The soldiers are divided into two points, and a passage is made He held a scimitar in his hand, and he rushed to the front of Hannaji's horse and slashed Wu Enqi drew his knife and leaned out, and sparks splashed Huang Taiji raised his face and said: "Wu Enqi, you dare to use a small anti-top" Wu Enqi said: "Don't dare, but the eagle starves to death and doesn't peck eggs, cattle and sheep also have a love for licking calves, please think twice."
Huang Taiji shouted: "Think twice, think twice, he betrayed his clansmen and went to the Ming camp, he should have died, what are you doing when you take him back?"
One Kehatun shouted from behind: "Unqi, you get out of the way and let him kill him, I want to see how he kills his nephew, how he kills my grandson, and how he sits on this throne."
Hearing this, Han Naji hurriedly said: "Grandma, what are you saying in China that you can't abolish the position of the Great Khan, of course, the position of the Great Khan should be taken by the uncle" turned over and dismounted, pulled out the waist knife and threw it on the ground, took two steps forward, knelt in front of Huang Taiji, and said: "Uncle, it is my fault to defect to the Ming camp privately, the crime of defection is unforgivable, if you want to kill me, kill it."
In this way, Huang Taiji raised the scimitar in his hand, his eyebrows twisted and picked, and it was a little difficult to start for a while Chang Sihao hurriedly said in a deep voice in Mongolian language: "Prince, I know that you are definitely not fighting for the throne of the Khan, because this throne will be yours in the future You are the eldest prince The orthodox heir to the throne of the Khan You rebelled Do you rebel You are provoked by bad people Plus angry that your nephew betrayed his people to join the enemy But you must know Now that the old Khan Wang has reconciled with the Ming Dynasty From now on, we will no longer be enemies Han Naji is the commander of the imperial seal of my great emperor If you kill him, you will be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty, which is equivalent to challenging the end again This matter involves the lives of thousands of Li people You have to think carefully A family doesn't talk about two families What is there to say between uncles and nephews Do you want to abandon family affection for a few provocative words from outsiders You didn't want to take the throne But you have to bear the infamy of killing your nephew and seizing the throne How will you gain a foothold on the grassland in the future Will people from other tribes respect you and obey you?"
Huang Taiji fought bravely, but he was reckless Now listening to Chang Sihao's words, every sentence is reasonable: Yes, I was afraid that the Khan throne would be taken away Now I have expressed my attitude towards Hannaji This threat has disappeared Why bother to kill people again High Priest Mao Balsi didn't see it well and hurriedly said: "The eldest prince, don't listen to his nonsense, they are a plan to delay the army, if you don't kill Hannaji now, there will be endless disasters."
At this time, the army behind me had already driven behind Chang Sihao was even more calm and said with a smile: "The Great Khan's family has just been reunited, and you have instigated other people's flesh and blood to kill each other, provoking your uncle to kill your nephew, how can there be such a reason in the world?"
When I heard this, my face sank, and I said, "Who, who is instigating us to kill each other?"
Because of the nomadic life, the Tatar relatives gather less and leave more, so they pay great attention to family and friendship Chang Sihao does not mention political conflicts, only emphasizes that the priests are instigating the uncle to kill his own nephew, this kind of words are very harsh to the Tatar people, and shamanism has a characteristic that the sacrifice is to be sacrificed with the blood of living people Since the Yellow Religion spread among the people, the Tatar people's beliefs have gradually changed, and they are quite disgusted with the cruelty of shamanism before, and I heard Chang Sihao say that killing Hannaji will anger the Ming Dynasty and start a war again, and he is even more reluctant to see the old Khan King come back His face is also angry For a moment, the emotions were aroused, and they all voiced denunciations
Huang Taiji saw this situation and couldn't kill Hannaji He turned to Mao Balsi and glared angrily at him: "It's all you who are sowing discord."
Mao Balsi was angry Seeing that the eldest prince was also going to take himself down the stairs This life is probably difficult to protect In a panic, he suddenly pulled out the meat cutting knife in his arms, and threw himself on the cart Thinking to himself, I am most afraid of a gram of Hatun Only by controlling her in his hands can things turn around
When Chang Sihao saw him draw the knife, his feet immediately flew up with stirrups, and his clothes rushed in front of him, and he kicked the knife in his hand with a flying kick, and then grabbed him by the neck with a probing hand
In the cart, a gram of Hartun's eyes lit up and asked, "What are you?"
Wu Enqi smiled and said: "Big lady, he is what I said Chang Sihao, the Marquis of Daming Yunzhong," the Tatar people were so surprised that he was the one who had won the Great Commander who had been preached for two or three years
Chang Sihao covered his chest and saluted to a gram of Hatun: "The old lady is frightened" secretly clicked on Mao Balsi's dumb hole in his hand, carried him to Huang Taiji, and said: "The eldest prince, I may have been a little arrogant and reckless in a hurry just now, and this matter is better left to you to deal with."
Huang Taiji pulled down the corners of his mouth on both sides of his nose, pulled out two fierce lines on both sides of his nose, lifted the knife over, reached out and grabbed Mao Balsi's hair, turned his wrist and pulled it away, swept the scimitar, cut off the other person's head, and raised it high
When all the soldiers and civilians saw Maobal Sifufa, their hearts were all elated, but in the face of this solemn atmosphere, they did not dare to speak for a while, and Wu Enqi hurriedly raised his arms and shouted: "The eldest prince has done a good job, support the eldest prince" When the people saw it, they all shouted one after another: "The eldest prince" and "The eldest prince" let out a cheer
Huang Taiji walked around with his head held high, and he was very relieved and happy to see that he had won the hearts of the people, and at the same time understood that this was Chang Sihao who helped him and gave him a lot of face, so he looked over slightly and greeted him in his eyes
Chang Sihao waited for Huang Taiji to show enough, then he smiled and bowed forward and said: "The eldest prince, it is inevitable that Hannaji will make mistakes when he is young, and now he is my righteous brother, and he will not look at the face of the monk and see the face of the Buddha, please look at the face of Benhou and spare him this time."
Huang Taiji heard him call himself "Ben Hou" That is equivalent to pleading with himself as the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty That is equivalent to representing the country This face is really given to the sky Hurriedly smiled and saluted: "Where is this Hou Ye Xiao Wang This is also a moment of hatred of iron and steel, a little reckless "Throwing the head, he stepped forward to support his elbow and helped Han Naji up The two looked at each other and hugged each other with a smile
Suddenly, there was a sound of "bang" and "bang" behind her, and when she looked sideways, it turned out that the old lady of Hatun tilted her neck and looked at the roof of the car, and was knocking on the board with a withered rattan cane, and sighed: "I'm old, no one cares."
"Grandma"
Hannaji hurriedly jumped into the car with his arms wide open and got into his grandmother's arms
A gram of Hatun pushed out: "Go and go, go for a woman, you don't even want your grandmother anymore, and now you're back and rubbing something."
Han Naji smiled and couldn't answer for a while, Chang Sihao said: "Hehehe, women can not want it, how can grandma not want it, the so-called crow feeds back the lamb kneeling milk Brother Han has been thinking about your nurturing grace in Mingying, and has been thinking about you."
Yike Hatun looked at the official clothes on his grandson Look at his face In the Daming circle, he has a lot of spirit, but it is more painful than before Still said with a straight face: "He still knows that he is worried about me" Hannaji said: "Why don't you worry about me" Yike Hatun said: "Why don't you take me with you" Hannaji snickered in a low voice: "Take you away, that grandpa is not even more lawless" said Old Hatun laughed and hugged him in his arms
I replied and got off the horse, and walked over with someone and said, "Okay, okay, come back, come back, there are VIPs here, you only care about what you talk about, what will it look like" Yike Hatun glared at him, as if that meant "everything is not caused by you" turned his face and smiled, and talked to Chang Sihao again, when he returned from participating in the five-party talks, he mentioned Chang Sihao to her, and said that the two of them bowed and received horses from him, etc., Lao Hatun already had an impression in his heart, especially the Sanhe Lihua horse, the horse is strong, not to mention that the saddle bridle on it is actually the imperial object of Emperor Yuan, and this saddle is the treasure of the country It was lost during the battle of the Yuan and Ming dynasties It is really embarrassing to be able to return to the grassland In contrast, this favor is much heavier than a horse Now I see that this person is really powerful and extraordinary And as soon as we met, I resolved a family crisis for myself and was very polite to myself So I felt closer I couldn't help but invite to the palace A gram of Hatun also got out of the car Seeing Chang Sihao holding Ah Yao and the child in his arms and walking Asked that it was his wife and daughter Sighed repeatedly: "Look, look What is the use of a tall man Such a man is a man"
Many princes and nobles came to congratulate The palace held a feast Chang Sihao paid close attention to observe and found that although the palace was built magnificently, the clothes of the palace maids and attendants were indeed not very fresh The nobles were slightly better The next day, Wu Enqi accompanied him to the folk and found that the folk were even more miserable Not only were the clothes ragged, but even felt or straw were used for the curtains, and Wu Enqi explained that the Ming Dynasty blocked the border Teapots, cloths and other things could not be met at all by a little smuggling When building a yurt, only felt and cloth could not be done Zhao Quan came to guide everyone to build a house with mud Although it meets the needs of housing, it is not very accustomed to the herdsmen, and the climate of the grassland is not very suitable for the growth of crops, although there are a large number of Han slaves farming, the grain is not high, and at the same time, a large number of cattle and horses are bred far beyond the needs of the herdsmen's life, and they cannot be exchanged as goods, so on the surface, everyone is busy and prosperous, but in fact, life is still difficult, he joked, especially in the past two years, he has always lost the war, and he has not been able to grab things, and his life is even more undignified
Chang Sihao made contact with some Han people, and listened to them talk about their experiences, some of them fled from famine and drought, some of them were forced by rich and harmful officials, some were captured after the war, and some of them took the initiative to vote, and he found that everyone was very secretive about Zhao Quan's repatriation, but most of them said that they did not want to leave, because at least they could eat meat and eat a full meal
When I returned to the lower place at night, Chang Ziyao called my father to run over, Chang Sihao picked her up, and found that she was wearing two gemstone rings on her hands, one green and one yellow, Ah Yao smiled and said that it was given by Lao Hatun and Zhong Jin Hatun Chang Sihao coaxed her to play for a while, asked the waiter for a pen and paper, and recorded what she had seen and heard for a day, so that for seven or eight days, the record of what she had seen and heard was enveloped as a letter Jane, and it was written that it was a submission to the emperor Longqing Send someone to the border After Wang Chonggu received the letter, he immediately transferred to Beijing
Feng Bao then sent the letter to the palace of heart cultivation from afar and saw a little eunuch carrying a urine bucket to the west Hurriedly called and said: "Open " The little eunuch didn't dare to open it and only gently opened the urine bucket A small crack Feng Bao took a look The urine was yellow and the anger was a little heavy Sighed and said, "Go ahead"
He came to the outside of the Heart Cultivation Temple, and when he heard the noise inside, his steps froze again
It's been a few days of debate among the ministers, but the focus of the debate has shifted from the exchange of hostages to whether or not to allow me to pay tribute and open the market
The more they fight, the more they argue, the more they don't understand, they don't move here, and the emperor can only accompany them
Today from the morning to now, I have been fighting for more than half a day Through the door, Feng Baotan's ears have not stopped, and it has not stopped At this time, a minister of the Ministry of War said in a dumb voice: "As soon as the horse market is opened, iron weapons will flow into Tatar, and the other party will inevitably build weapons to counterattack the Ming Dynasty, and barter for more for less, suffer losses and be deceived, and all kinds of disputes will inevitably come one after another, and if you don't want to fight, it will also stir up fire, and besides, I have fought with Daming for so many years, and now I say that if I don't fight, I will give him the title of king, and then the barbarians will also want to Zangba Khan What should I do when the time comes? It also makes the future difficult, that is how many aftermaths there will be, there will be as many aftermaths."
"This is a big fallacy"
Gao Gong's voice came out loudly: "When Grandpa Cheng was here, he sealed the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and returned to Shun Why can't we go back and say Even if there is no precedent in the past, can't people eat crabs today I replied to ask for the title This is a good thing to be a minister He did this It is equivalent to setting an example for others Ross Khan, Tumen Zasaktu Khan and Zangba Khan are all looking at us We must not be soft when we should fight But he admitted his mistake We should accept him Let him be like a spring breeze This is what the Celestial Empire looks like This is the mind of a great power The people of your military department should know the art of war best It's the best policy to surrender without a fight, and now we finally have a chance to surrender without a fight, and you still insist on fighting, why do you still insist on fighting?"
Zhang Juzheng said: "What Brother Su Qing said is very much Between the market, there are expensive and cheap things, everyone can sit down and negotiate the price, and they will not fight for a little profit, even if they want to fight, let a little price is better than fighting both sides Iron things are simpler To fight the blade, you need good steel, and you don't have to make pots and pans The iron produced in Guangzhou is softer Let's transfer some and sell it to them It's the same What we lack the most is horses Raising horses needs a place and needs training This is a big expense Take some cotton cloth in exchange for horses It is more economical in comparison In short, it still has less harm and more benefits ”
Zhao Zhenji said: "Uncle, you can't say that, if there is no iron in Tatar, where did you get those scimitars, where did you get those stirrups, as long as they are willing to do it, melt the knives and stirrups, are you afraid that there will be no pot, the future will be the world of firearms, instead of preparing those horses, and providing grass and fodder every day, it is better to use more cannons and firearms In addition, I answered that after many years of fighting with us, how do you need to supply it, why is it poor now, Zhao Quan built a board for him, has land to cultivate, and food to eat, what does he lack Besides, even if he lacks this and less, it is also that we lock the lock and make it effective, which is equivalent to choking him with a breath left At this time, how can I let go, I see......" Feng Bao heard this, and when he heard this, he hurriedly pushed a small crack in
Long Qing, hunched over his chest, wrapped in a yellow robe, was sitting on the dragon chair, his face was waxy, and the red and black official uniforms of the ministers around him were flat and upright, as if a piece of charcoal was simmering in front of his eyes, Feng Bao didn't dare to make it bigger, lowered his head and walked to the side of the dragon book case, bowed down and presented the letter to him, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the submission of the Hou Chang Sihao in the clouds."
The ministers all knew that Chang Sihao had gone to Tatar, and they didn't know what news was coming, so they all stopped talking
I saw the emperor open the letter and look at it, read one page, read another page, his eyes seemed to have entered, read all the more than a dozen pages, and pondered for a while, handed the letter to Feng Bao, and asked him to take it down for everyone to see
The letter was passed in the hands of the people Long Qing was silent until everyone had read it again Then he said slowly: "All the secretaries have seen that I have been the king of Yu I am not a person who has been raised in the palace since I was a child and does not know the situation in the market There is a saying among the people that one place is not touched and one is lost The border affairs Of course, the border ministers know best Which of you is like Chang Qing who went to the border and went deep into Tatar to see You are the same as me There is no truth outside the three zhang, it is all imagination What is the use of fighting back and forth?"
"Your Majesty" bowed and said: "The Tatar is like a spider Most of the threats are just an imaginary In fact, it is more of a fear from the heart Yichen sees that what the Marquis Chang said in the letter is right and to the point Now I am a spider We should treat it like a crab and put it in our mouths to taste He glanced at the ministers of the military department: "A strong man Would he be afraid to give a few iron bars to children Do you really regard this Ming Dynasty as the Heavenly Empire But I don't blame you I don't blame everyone It's because our Ming is weak and we are already exhausted Then he turned around and waved his hand: "Your Majesty, if you always stick to the old ways, don't you have to rest on your laurels forever Now we should take a long-term view Strive to develop agriculture, encourage industry and commerce, and take the great plan of enriching the country and strengthening the army to reorganize the mountains and rivers and establish a dynasty before this We need a safe and stable environment Then even if we are forced to make a peace agreement, we should endure the humiliation and wait for the eyebrows to be raised, not to mention that now he is the one who takes the initiative to be a minister."
The ministers were silent
Long Qing closed his eyelids tiredly, as if a big drama was ending, he exhaled softly, and his chest was slightly straightened, and said: "What Aiqing said is that this matter will be prepared by you."
