Because the imperial envoy this time was Zhao Zijin, the news of Xia Xun's previous trip was kept secret, so until he came back, the matter was not made public. In this case, the Metropolitan Procuratorate should have sent someone to pick him up. Zhao Zijin came out
Who would take him seriously if he was an imperial envoy who returned to the capital with all-around majesty and handed over the decree upon his return to the capital? Or if he was an imperial envoy from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and filled with nobles and dignitaries in the capital?
However, Emperor Yongle ordered Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, to go and greet him, which is a bit intriguing. Although all the officials in the capital felt a little strange, they didn't pay much attention to it, because Zhao Zijin's purpose of going to Wala this time was to investigate the good people of Wala.
Regarding the establishment of the Great Khan, in this case, it seems feasible to ask Ji Gang, the secret spy leader, to come forward.
Who knows that the reason why Emperor Yongle called Ji Gang to come forward was because among the team returning from this trip was Hadun, the former Empress of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
Queen Tumen Baoyin was indeed of no use to the Ming Dynasty, but after receiving the news that Xia Xun sent someone back in advance, Emperor Yongle decided to take good care of her and treat her as courteously as possible. Probably because she was the same person.
As a member of the royal family, Queen Tumen Baoyin is in such a miserable state today, I think she is a bit sad.
Xia Xunye had already sent someone to send back the news that Tuotuo Buhuahan was Wansongling. Zhu Di immediately decided to send people to sneak into Oara. It would take half a year to a year to completely integrate into the Oara tribe and get closer to Wansongling.
He weighed the matter and left it to Jin Yiwei to handle. After all, Dongchang had just been established and its power had just spread in the capital. Zhu Di was worried about something bad if they were suddenly asked to shoulder such an important responsibility.
Zhu Di summoned Ji Gang and personally handed over this top-secret affair to him. Ji Gang did not dare to neglect. After returning, he selected good soldiers and generals. They must not only be alert, wise, brave and good at fighting, but also must meet all the following conditions: 1. Be familiar with the outside world.
Nomadic life; 2. Be able to speak fluent Mongolian; 3. The child must have the appearance of a northerner; 4. The family must have parents, wife and children. 5. There is no connection with the Mongols three generations back, and it is best to have a big hatred.
It was difficult to find someone who fully met these conditions. Ji Gang put a lot of effort into selecting 20 people from among the Jinyiwei. He also carefully reviewed all their life experience information to test their adaptability. Finally,
Eight more people were eliminated, leaving only 12 people, and all their families were transferred to the capital for proper resettlement. Then they were arranged to set off and penetrate into the Wala region through various channels.
Ji Gang spared no effort to deal with matters that were important to Zhu Di. Now that Xia Xun had just arrived in Beijing, Ji Gang personally selected the twelve spies in brocade clothes who had infiltrated Oala and left Beijing for the north. This efficiency was not bad.
Ji Gang was riding on his horse, feeling drowsy due to the warm wind.
In the past few days, he had been busy selecting candidates to go to Oara as secret agents. He had not slept well day and night, and he was inevitably a little sleepy. And the emperor asked him to welcome the imperial envoy Zhao Zijin, and the mission entrusted to him was nothing more than an order.
He secretly picked up the Mongolian Queen, placed her there, and brought her to the palace for a meeting without letting the news leak out. This matter was really not challenging for him, so Ji Gang was not interested.
As he was walking, a general and a few soldiers suddenly came galloping in front of him. This was a lively market with vendors on both sides of the road. Ji Gang just went to pick up someone, and he didn't put on all the official honors. Naturally,
It was impossible to clear the street and shout, so the road was narrower. The general on the opposite side ran closer and saw clearly that the man facing the sky and yawning was Ji Gang. He quickly reined in his horse. Ji Gang's horse was already frightened and subconsciously
He jumped to the side.
Ji Gang sat lazily on the horse and was completely defenseless. The horse almost slipped due to this flash. Ji Gang hurriedly buckled the saddle and sat down. He raised his head angrily and saw a general on the opposite horse. He had leopard eyes and tiger beard, and a majestic figure.
, Ji Gang recognized him as the mute Timur, the commander of the capital, who was a Tartar official who had recently become a general under Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han Dynasty.
Ji Gang cursed loudly: "A dog in the sun doesn't have eyes, and he doesn't know how to get out of the way. He almost startled your Master Ji's horse!"
The mute Tiemur was a Tartar official, and he was usually quite domineering. He also knew that Ji Gang was not easy to mess with. He wanted to make a haha and laugh, but he didn't want Ji Gang to open his mouth and scold him, which would make the mute Tiemu'er's face
Unable to stand up, he couldn't help but curse: "Bah! You are so arrogant like grandpa! When grandpa followed Lord Yongle to conquer the world, you didn't know which girl's crotch you were trapped in to make a living!"
Ji Gang dared to retaliate without warning, and his face turned red with anger.
Timur, who was mute, opened his mouth anyway. Thinking that he had the support of the King of Han behind him, he was not afraid of him. He spat and cursed with his halberd finger: "When you Ji Gang led the emperor's horse into a stirrup and became a lowly groom, grandpa was already
You have served as a commander of the First Guard and fought hundreds of battles. Now you have climbed to the same status as grandpa by relying on your dirty tricks of flattery and gossip. This is nothing more. You are still showing off with grandpa. You and I are both in the second rank.
Why should grandpa make way for you!"
Although Ji Gang was a scholar who was suspended from school, he was a scholar after all. He was really no match for the mute Tiemu'er when he was scolding people in the market. The mute Tiemu'er kept talking and even scolded Ji Gang like crazy.
, Ji Gang was so angry that his face was green and purple, and the purple was black, but he didn't scold him back with such continuous and flowing words.
It is true that Ji Gang and the mute Timur were both commanders of the capital, but what other officials were there above the commanders? There were the chief governor, the left and right governors, the governors with the same knowledge, and the governor Qian Shi. Xue Lu was the right governor, and he was comparable in official positions.
Ji Gang was three levels higher, but he was beaten by Ji Gang to the point where his head is still being stabbed when it rains. Would Ji Gang care about the mute Tiemu'er who is on the same level as him?
Ji Gang was so angry that he was shaking all over, pointed forward, and shouted sternly: "Get this stupid mute Timur down for me!"
"Who dares?"
The mute Tiemu'er yelled angrily, and several of his soldiers also groaned and unsheathed their long swords, looking at Ji Gang with eager eyes.
Not to be outdone, Ji Gang's men also drew their swords out of their sheaths, and their swords were at war with each other.
When the people around saw that the two groups of military lords were about to fight, they immediately ran away. At this moment, a bustling alley came out of which many people came out. They were all dressed in blue and Confucian uniforms. A few people in front of them were carrying three animal sacrifices and incense tablets.
, it turned out that the candidates who came to Beijing to take the exam gathered together and wanted to go to the Confucius Temple next to Gongyuan Street on the north bank of the Qinhuai River to worship Confucius in order to get good results in the exam.
The procession of Juzi was so vast that one could not even see the edge from behind. The front saw something different and couldn't stand even if they wanted to. Besides, they were holding a sacrificial offering in honor of Confucius. They really weren't afraid of anyone, so they started
A swarm of swarms came over and the two groups were pushed to both sides.
When Ji Gang saw this situation, he couldn't help frowning. Although he was arrogant, he did not dare to offend everyone in the world, especially because he had nothing to do with Kong Sheng. The mute Timur over there was also a little worried. Ji Gang was used to being domineering in Beijing.
Now, although he had the support of the King of Han behind him, it was not appropriate for him to get into a serious quarrel with Ji Gang, so he said a few words through the crowd: "I have important matters to attend to, so I won't make any noise with you. Boys, let's go."
!”
The mute Timur rode away. Ji Gang remembered that he had to welcome the Mongolian queen. It was not appropriate to be too fussy with the mute Timur at the moment, so he stared at the back of the mute Timur and said in a sinister voice.
: "How dare you go against me, Ji Gang! Huh! Within a month, I will pick off your head to show you Ji's methods!"
After saying that, he also rode away.
On the grassland, four groups of men and horses stood quietly and solemnly, like the four legs of a tripod.
Although Taiping and Ba Tupolo wanted to preserve their strength, they also understood the truth of losing their lips and teeth. Seeing the embarrassing defeat of Mahamu, they had no choice but to recruit more elite troops and chase them all the way. Now, people from all directions are on the grassland with the momentum of a decisive battle.
.
The current situation, between Hashiha and Mahamu, is peaceful, and the difference in strength between Tupolo and Mahamu is comparable, because the three kings of Mahamu originally intended to form an absolute deterrent to the Hashiha tribe, thus forcing Hashiha to bow his head.
, and did not want to fight to the death with him. Different strategic purposes caused the three kings of Wala to place their main forces at the base of the Hashaha tribe in the southwest grassland.
However, Hashiha ordered the leaders of his subordinate departments to break out of the encirclement and abandon their own grassland. However, he himself gathered elite troops and sneaked back to Lake Balkhash to seize the initiative on the battlefield. At present, the total strength of the three kings of Wala was greater than Hashiha's.
The number of troops brought by Ha is only slightly more, which cannot form an absolute advantage. In terms of combat effectiveness, everyone is about the same, and no one is better than the other.
There is no fear of war on the grassland. Even if you have a million troops, I can chase you. What they are afraid of is this kind of decisive battle, which is the most tragic situation. However, now they have reached this stalemate.
Whoever retreats first will lose his reputation, which is equivalent to whoever voluntarily gives up the qualification to dominate the grassland.
Therefore, there is a road behind them, but they have no way to retreat.
Everyone knows how tragic this battle is, and perhaps the lives of many people around him, including his own, will end here. Everyone holds on to their weapons, which is their hope for survival.
As leaders, Mahamu, Hashiha and others felt a little regretful. They knew that each other's strength was almost the same, and they didn't want to show off their shame and fight so early. How did they develop to this point?
?If you think about it carefully, there is actually no trace to be found.
We can't wait any longer. Morale cannot be so high indefinitely.
The three kings of Wala and Hashiha took a long breath at the same time, slowly raised the steel sword in their right hands, and prepared to issue the order for a decisive battle.
"Master...Master...this is an army with thousands of troops. It can't compare to the scenes we experienced before. Do you really want to go down?"
On the high slope, in the camp of the Mahamu tribe, Gongsun Dafeng asked with a pale face. This tomb robber, who had always been bold and bold, had been frightened out of his wits by the boundless murderous intent in front of him.
Wan Songling ignored him. He looked up at the sky and shouted silently: "If you want to die, you will face the sky, or you will die for tens of thousands of years!" Then he slapped his horse's butt, let go of his hooves, and headed towards the battlefield where flags were rolling down the mountain and drums and horns were sounding.
Dive down!
Guan Guan also looked up at the sky and shouted silently: "Generals, please ask for votes in the early morning!!!
