"Report! Your Majesty, Hou Dingyu of Kaiyuan, Liaodong has arrived. ("")"
Arutai was overjoyed when he heard the news. Ding Yu had come at the right time, just in time for the Wala messenger to witness his close relationship with the Ming court, and to fight for more opportunities for himself. Arutai glanced at the Wala messenger arrogantly.
, said to the leaders: "Everyone, leaders, please follow me to greet Kaiyuan Hou!"
Ding Yu is a marquis, and Arutai was granted the title of king by the Ming Dynasty. In the title of Ming Dynasty, he belongs to the first level of a county prince, lower than a prince, but higher than a duke or earl. When Ding Yu comes to him, Arutai usually
He would not go out to greet him in person. This time, he wanted to demonstrate to Wala, so he went out to meet him in person. The Nawala envoy did not know the truth of what he said, but he wanted to get a glimpse of the truth, so he followed him out quietly.
In terms of interests, Ding Yu now represents the Ming Dynasty in the eyes of Arutai, and he is indeed very welcome. Arutai picked up Ding Yu and welcomed him in happily. Ding Yu saw the Navarre envoy wandering around at a glance.
As he followed up, he looked a little strange, not like the people from Arutai. Although he couldn't tell from his clothes, his expression and behavior were very different from those of the generals around Arutai.
Ding Yu sat down and asked Arutai: "Your Majesty, who is this...?"
Arutai looked sad and whispered: "The Marquis didn't know something, and the Wala came to invade. Arutai asked his daughter Tuya to lead a tribe to retreat first, but who knew that the Wala kidnapped him..."
Ding Yu was shocked and lost his voice: "Miss Ulantuya was kidnapped?"
Ding Yu knew how Wulan Tuya tried to assassinate Duke Fu in Liaodong, but was released by Duke Fu. Now times have changed, and inexplicably, Wu Lan Tuya has become a spy sent by Duke Fu to Arutai.
Ding Yu was not stupid. An Neng didn't know there was a hidden secret, so he was shocked.
Arutai thought that Ding Yu was really in love with Ulantuya and that he was so rude when he knew that his sweetheart was caught. He couldn't help but said sadly: "That's right! That's right. When I heard the news, I was also heartbroken. Now they are sending people here with the intention of changing
I want to exchange Tuya for Mandu Ratu, the Wala general who was captured by me..."
Ding Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "That's great, let's just exchange it!"
Arutai said sternly: "Ulan Tuya is my adopted daughter. If I could bring her back in exchange for her, why wouldn't I be willing to do it? But I have no choice but to do this!"
Ding Yu was stunned and said in astonishment: "Why is this?"
Arutai said: "Master Hou! That Mandu Latu burned my food and grass, attacked my camp, burned, killed and looted, and his hands were stained with the blood of many of my people..."
Ding Yu was dissatisfied and frowned: "This is not a personal enmity. How can there be any mercy when the two armies are fighting? Now that the war has been decided, should we just sit back and watch the captured people be killed by the other side? At worst, we can exchange it. If you don't accept it, you can do it openly.
Just fight it!"
Arutai said: "What the Marquis said is certainly reasonable. However, we still have one of our generals, Ars, who fell into the hands of Wala. As the king of Tatars, Arutai can only put public affairs first before private affairs. If you want to
If they want to change, they must first bring back Alsi Leng! If they are willing to exchange Alsi Leng and Ulantuya back, it would be impossible to ask me to bring back a few more captured Wala leaders, but they don’t agree. So this
In other words, no matter how reluctant I am to give up, I can’t follow my own path!”
Speaking of this, Arutai couldn't help but burst into tears. Among the crowd, Narisong, Arsi's father and the leader of the Chaba cadre, burst into tears with excitement. He was not very fond of Arutai.
Loyalty, at this moment, is dead-set, only Alutai's order is obeyed.
Ding Yu was still waiting to speak, but the words were on his lips and he suddenly swallowed them back.
At present, the war between Oara and the Tatars has become out of control, and it is inevitable for Liaodong to intervene in advance. The original plan was to wait until Arutai's troops were exhausted, and without him making the slightest resistance, he would fully accept the rule of the Tatars and distribute food relief.
, clothes, felt tents and other means, the Tatar people were compiled into household registers, and based on the successful experience of Liaodong's tribal transformation, the original Tatar organization was broken, and the Tatar herdsmen were brought under the rule of the imperial court.
Once the people were directly under the control of the imperial court, the original leaders, high-ranking officials and nobles became rootless ducks and water without a source. They retained their existing wealth in vain, but their power was gone. They could only rely on the imperial court.
Driven by the imperial court, this is a major event for the imperial court. When the time comes, we will not be able to use both soft and hard tactics, and we will recruit groups and attack groups, and use bloody methods against the herdsmen and nobles who resist transformation.
The nomads are tough and cannot be conquered by force. The grasslands are vast and it is impossible to apply the methods of governing the people in the Central Plains. Therefore, they can only divide their power to spread their strength, divide their lands and govern their people. Through a long period of integration and governance, it is called
They are attached to the Ming Dynasty and can never get rid of it. To achieve this goal, they can only use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once the opportunity is missed, it will be useless to ask them to slow down.
If he continues to fight hard for Miss Sakura, the old fox will probably turn from passive to active and lead him away. He said it so righteously, how can he force him? If he does that, the old fox will continue to act pretentious.
This made him more popular among the military and the people. Now that Arutai still has a certain degree of strength, it will not be appropriate to divide and disintegrate the Tatar ruling group.
Furthermore, Ding Yu is different from Xia Xun. He is a man born and raised in this era. His concept of the importance of a country or a woman is similar to that of Arutai. In his opinion, even if the Duke of the country likes this Xiaoying
Girl, with the power and position of the Duke, what kind of stunning woman cannot be summoned at the drop of a hat? I will never affect the progress of the imperial court's plans because of her. If I make rash decisions, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating.
With this idea in mind, Ding Yu no longer dared to make any independent decisions. He just wanted to report the news to the Duke and let him deal with it.
Arutai glanced at Ding Yu slyly and couldn't help but feel secretly proud when he saw him lowering his head and saying nothing, his expression changing.
In this way, he not only won over the military and public opinion, but also made Ding Yu, the Marquis of Kaiyuan of the Ming Dynasty, turn against Wala. If Ulantuya had been doing well, Ding Yu would have used hard and soft tactics to force Wala to release him after he asked the Ming court for mediation.
If Ulan Tuya is humiliated, ill-treated or even executed, wouldn’t the Kaiyuan Marquis who likes Tuya become a
Wala’s enemy?
Based on the habit of treating captives by grassland tribes, since Ulantuya has lost the exchange value, it is very possible for Huo Ahatun to humiliate or even execute her in order to give an explanation to the tribe. In this way, he will
He had a good reputation among his tribe for being willing to cut off personal relationships for the benefit of his tribe. However, Wala didn't know that Ding Yu loved Tuya very much, so he attracted a powerful enemy to himself for no reason.
The more Arutai thought about it, the more proud he became. Perhaps he was surprised by his mentality: How could this man even ruthlessly abandon his adopted daughter who had done a great service to him, but instead be supported by the tribe? In fact, this was in line with the customs of the tribe at that time.
Regarding the matter, don't look at the nomads outside the Great Wall who are fierce and aggressive, but they can fight for the grassland and water sources of the clan, and they can fight for the morale of the men, but they will never fight for the women.
Even if this woman is the mother, wife or daughter of the leader of the tribe, if you start a war on the grounds that she was kidnapped or insulted, the tribe will despise you and think that you have no ambitions and no future, and you are doing it just for the sake of a reproduction tool.
Sacrifice the lives of many tribesmen, he is not worthy of his leader. Don't even think about wanting them to fight for a woman like the Trojan War.
Although the Trojan War is said to be for Queen Helen, it is just a grand excuse, behind which is profound economic interests, but this excuse is at least accepted by all the people, and countless warriors are willing to die for this reason, and here
, such a reason cannot be shouted out, and if shouted out, it will only be spurned and ridiculed by the whole people. Therefore, Arutai's calculation is not outrageous.
Before Zhu Di arrived in Beijing, he received an urgent message from Xia Xun with an eight-hundred-mile horse. After reading it, Zhu Di felt deeply that the situation was serious. If he were not careful, all the good situations he had worked hard to create would be lost. It would only take a few years for him to be called the emperor.
They regained their strength, but Saibei was still a Tatar and a Wala. The two evil wolves chose the opportunity to bite them, so they made a decisive decision and immediately approved Xia Xun's suggestion.
During the trip, Zhu Di issued more than ten imperial edicts, ordering the Dusi of Liaodu, Dusi of Nuergan, Dusi of Shanxi, Dusi of Shaanxi, Hami Guards, King of Hami, King Biechu Bali, and the Beijing branch to send troops respectively, and at the same time issued an edict to
In Nanjing, he asked the prince who was supervising the country in Nanjing to immediately raise military pay and rations. At the same time, he also issued a benevolent decree and granted rewards to Nuer Gandusi, King Hami, King Beshu Bali, etc., to reassure him.
In view of the rapidly changing situation outside the Great Wall, Zhu Di was afraid of making a mistake, so he ordered Xia Xun to rush to Liaodong immediately to take charge of the situation in person. Things that were too late to request orders could be dealt with cheaply, and they were dealt with first and later. Since Ji Gang was mainly responsible for the news from Oara, going to Liaodong would have to be separated.
Living with a Tatar was a lot of inconvenience, so he was still allowed to sit in Beijing.
Xia Xun learned that the emperor had made a decisive move, and couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. How the situation would eventually develop is still unknown at the moment, but at least what should be done has been done. Even if things fail, it doesn't have to be because something can be done.
Feeling sorry for not doing it.
Xia Xun had been in Liaodong for three years and knew the place very well. He had high prestige among the three divisions of Liaodong, the Jurchen tribes, and even the three guards of Duoyan. In particular, the national integration policy he formulated in Liaodong was very effective. He was asked to go to Liaodong.
He was the best candidate. Xia Xun did not dare to neglect, immediately packed his bags and headed straight for Liaodong.
The fresh wind is like a knife, snow foam is flying all over the sky, the cliffs are steep, the forest is heavy, and a mighty dragon-like river is frozen by the severe cold, with ice three feet thick.
More than a hundred warriors wearing cold-warming leather robes wrapped their bodies tightly, with only a thin line under their eyebrows exposed, marching with difficulty in the heavy snow.
When they arrived at the river, because there was snow on the ice and the road was too slippery, they had to go down to the ground on foot. A soldier from the frontier army who was serving as a guide came up to the person in front, pulled down his watch, and said breathlessly: "My lord, sir,
After crossing this river, about two miles away, there is a post station, and the post station there is equipped with a sledge, so our speed... can increase!"
The wind was too strong, so he opened his mouth and poured it into his mouth. After saying these few words, the man coughed violently. Xia Xun nodded, squinted and looked across the river, and suddenly saw three knights on the other side of the river, holding hands.
The horses were about to cross the river, and the three knights were all wearing bulky leather robes to keep out the cold. It was not clear whether they were soldiers or civilians, but behind their shoulders, they all had a small red triangular flag, which was clearly a military post.
Died.
Xia Xun stopped and ordered: "Someone is coming from the other side, but don't leave now. Wait until they come and ask about the situation in Liaodong!"
p: I sincerely ask for recommendation votes in the early morning! Monthly votes!
