Chapter 463 Hongmen Banquet (Part 2) Please vote for me!!!
So facing this weapon that was not just big, but could even be called a giant sword, the leaders couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Among the leaders, Bai Hutai, a relatively young and upright young man, had no choice but to step forward.
There is no other way. Most of the other leaders started out in middle age, and the young leaders of the big lords are already trembling with old age. If Bai Hutai, the first person of the younger generation, does not come out, who else can be more suitable?
Baihutai grabbed the handle of the giant knife with both hands, and said "fuck" in his heart, it is really made of iron!
The officials of the Ming Dynasty were really extravagant and wasteful. They used so much good iron to build such a completely impractical weapon! Using iron as a rod, it is not afraid of brittle breakage?
After that, Bai Hutai used both arms to lift the giant knife up in one breath, and once again said "fuck" in his heart! This weight is not ordinary. How many kilograms is it?
The other leaders of the Kalashen tribe all around cheered and cheered for Baihutai!
Regardless of whether the relationship with Baihutai is good or not, this moment is full of honor. After all, Baihutai represents the entire Kalashen tribe at this time.
But before the cheers could be shouted a few times, Bai Hutai put down the giant sword again, and the cheers suddenly stopped.
Baihutai was also helpless. He could barely lift the giant sword, but he couldn't even think about swinging it or making any other movements.
"Hahahaha!" Suddenly I heard a long and bold laugh, and saw an extremely tall and majestic Han official coming out of the big tent to welcome him.
The leaders looked at the bird robe on this Han official and were extremely surprised. This giant man was actually a civil servant?
Nowadays, various tribes in the desert also know about the official robes of the Ming Dynasty. After all, the Ming Dynasty has issued many pieces to various tribes, so they all know that animal robes are for military officials and bird robes are for civil servants.
The official general of the Ming Dynasty introduced loudly: "This was compiled by the Hanlin Academy, and was ordered to patrol the border and preside over the canonization of Lin Gongtai, the imperial envoy!
Mr. Lin is still the number one scholar in the current science and technology department. The imperial court specially sent Mr. Lin to meet with you and preside over the canonization, which fully reflects the importance it attaches to you!"
The decrepit lord Qing Badu and Bai Hutai, who was about to receive the canonization, went out together and talked to each other.
Tongshi also translated it, and it was basically just a polite thank you.
But behind Qingbadu and Baihutai, there was a sturdy middle-aged man, waving his hands and shouting.
Translated by the general manager, it means: "We have tens of thousands of troops here, so why have we only been given the title of commander and commander so far? What if we can be given the title of general?"
Lin Tailai did not respond, but seemed to suddenly remember something and shouted: "I forgot some chores!"
The general manager had already received the order and translated every word of Imperial Envoy Lin.
Lin Tailai then walked to the side of the Yuanmen giant sword and explained to the leaders of the Kalashen tribe:
"I was practicing my sword here just now, but I forgot to put this sword away. I don't want to block the way of the distinguished guests, so I will wait until I put this sword away first!"
Before he finished speaking, the one-foot-long steel giant sword was pulled out by Lin Qinqin, who was wearing a bird robe.
Immediately, Lin Qinqi, with his long sleeves fluttering, held a giant sword and waved it vigorously a few times.
Suddenly, a huge sword flashed in front of the shouting Lai Sanwu, and the fence of the camp next to it was broken! I don't know whether it was chopped off or smashed.
The leaders, who were still whispering to each other or watching the excitement, fell silent in an instant!
Bai Hutai tried it himself just now. This knife is definitely not a fake!
Lin Qinqi quickly took back the giant sword. Even Lin Tailai couldn't keep swinging the giant sword weighing 162 kilograms.
But these few words were enough to scare people. Lin Qinqi kept his face calm and asked Lai Sanwu: "What did you just say, leader? I didn't understand."
Lai Sanwu: ""
If you have the guts, put down this giant sword that's one foot long, and then let's talk!
After the guests and hosts met, Lin Qinqin returned to the big tent with a giant knife.
Here again, according to the custom of the northern captives, a felt was spread inside the tent and they sat on the ground.
Qin Envoy Lin was sitting in the middle, and Qing Ba, the lord of Kalashen Tribe, sat beside him with equal status.
Continuing to follow the Beibei custom, wine should be served in sequence at the beginning of the ceremony.
The first one was treated as a courtesy, and he and Lin Tailai drank a bowl of wine together.
After finishing the drink, Lin Tailai said with a smile: "Why is Bai Hutai the governor conferred today?
This title was passed down from your father's capital. Why didn't you, a great lord, take the title, but let your nephew Bai Hutai take it?
If Baihutai is granted the title of Governor Tongzhi, does that mean that he will be the next great lord of the Harashen Tribe?
What will you do with your sons? I am suddenly worried about your children and grandchildren."
Qingbadu: ""
If you can't speak, don't speak! Imperial envoy, do you think that this lord doesn't want this title?
But Baihutai has 20,000 tribesmen and the support of Mrs. Zhongjin of Guihua City!
At the time of the peace talks, the title of Governor Tongzhi was second only to King Shunyi, and there were only two titles, one of which was given to the old commander of the Karashen tribe.
Therefore, the governor knew that this title was still very important. Even if Qingbadu was the lord of his headquarters, he would not care about it at all.
Except for Qingbadu, the other leaders will come forward to serve wine with the etiquette of meeting their elders.
Seeing the other 20 or 30 leaders, Imperial Commissioner Lin also thought to himself, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty's frontier army command system was very fragmented, but the Beibei side was actually not too generous.
At present, the feudal system is still implemented in the North, and the tribes are becoming more and more divided, and there are also more and more leaders, large and small.
Counting the number of tribal leaders on the right wing of the Beilu, there are currently about three hundred.
After the meeting etiquette and toasts were completed, the banquet officially began. The larger leaders all sat near the left and right of Qin Envoy Lin, making it easier to talk and discuss matters.
People in Beilu are fond of wine. Taking advantage of the wine, Qingbao, representing all the leaders, asked the question they were most concerned about:
"The canonization can be carried out step by step, but when will the Tajima market reopen?"
Lin Qinqi replied: "After the canonization ceremony is over, I will re-examine all the leaders and subordinates. If there are no problems after the examination, they can enter the horse market first. The time will be very fast."
Qing Badu added: "We also want to ask the Ming Dynasty court to increase the price of the horse by 30,000 taels of silver."
Imperial Envoy Lin rebuked unceremoniously: "I am warning you not to be greedy!
Zhangjiakou Fort will reward you with 185,000 silver this year, I'm afraid half of it will go to your Kalashen tribe! This is already a lot, do you still want to go to Shu?"
After the reprimand, Lin Tailai looked at Lai Sanwu who was sitting across the seat, and asked Qingbana:
"You have made a lot of money in the horse market, so you shouldn't think otherwise. So the idea of asking the court to increase the amount of silver reward is not your idea, right?"
Qingba was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect to be seen through, but he didn't know what to say clearly.
Lai Sanwu is the third son of Lao Badu and the younger brother of Qing Badu. He has a high status in the Kalashen tribe, so his seat is second only to Qing Badu.
Because the pastureland of Laisanwu is in the easternmost part of Kalashen, next to Chahar on the left.
In recent years, because the right wing of the Northern Barbarians has enjoyed the benefits of the horse market, their economic and living conditions have greatly improved.
Therefore, many people on the left wing fled to Lai Sanwu's territory, causing Lai Sanwu's direct subordinates to swell, claiming to have tens of thousands of riders.
This made Lai Sanwu, who had an already unruly personality, become even more arrogant. He even ignored his brother Qingba, and even dared to call him brother-in-law with Tuman Khan, the nominal leader of the Quanbei tribe on the left wing.
At this moment, Lai Sanwu was stared at with disgust by Lin Qinqi, and he remembered the embarrassing scene of being frightened by the giant knife just now. He couldn't help but feel angry again, and he said loudly under the influence of alcohol:
"It's my idea to ask your Ming Dynasty court to increase the price of horses, so what can I do?"
Lin Tailai asked calmly: "What's your reason?"
Lai Sanwu continued to yell: "Speaking of this peace agreement and the horse market, it is because you, the Ming Dynasty, are afraid of our cavalry, so you just spent money to buy a safe one!
Now we want more, what’s the problem? You should give it to Ming Dynasty!"
There were also a few ignorant little leaders, who probably felt that Lai Sanwu’s words were embarrassing to them, so they whistled drunkenly and clapped their hands to express their appreciation!
Lin Tailai glanced around and asked Qingbadu: "Is this what you barbarian leaders think in your hearts?"
Qingbadu sighed and replied: "That's not the case, but it is inevitable that there are some ignorant people."
Lin Tailai stood up with the wine bowl in his hands and walked to the Laisanwu banquet, which was only a matter of a few steps.
Lai Sanwu said calmly: "Our troops are two miles away."
Lin Tailai suddenly stretched out his hand and put the wine bowl directly on Lai Sanwu's head. He used too much force and even broke the wine bowl.
In an instant, blood mixed with wine and flowed down from the head of Li Sanwu.
Laisanwu screamed in pain, rolled out of the seat, and shouted to the outside of the tent: "Children, come in! Come in!"
Lin Tailai snorted disdainfully: "Don't you most admire martial arts? When men are fighting, do you still need to call for help?"
Lai Sanwu shouted so hard that his throat was broken. He didn't see the guards coming in. He didn't know what was going on.
Lin Tailai strode forward, grabbed Lai Sanwu's collar, lifted him up, and threw him to the open space in the middle of the tent.
The lord of the Karashen Tribe, Qingbadu, also stood up in shock and said, "How could this be the result of a few quarrels!"
In his more than sixty years of life, he has never seen such a barbaric "civilian" of the Ming Dynasty.
Under normal circumstances, when Ming Dynasty border ministers heard such rude remarks, they usually had the attitude of "not being as knowledgeable as barbarians" and never took action directly.
Lin Tailai glanced at Qingbangdu coldly, "When he made rude remarks just now, why didn't you come forward to dissuade him?
If you are afraid of your younger brother, aren't you afraid of me?"
Qingba was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.
Lin Tailai shook his head and said: "As a lord, your elder brother cannot teach your younger brother, so I will teach him how to behave for you."
At this moment, a trumpet sound suddenly sounded outside. Looking out through the tent door, I saw a large banner erected outside the camp gate.
A leader recognized the big sign and shouted: "It's Zhongjin Hatun who has arrived!"
Lin Tailai cursed secretly, these crazy women are really here to join in the fun!
Since you are coming, don't blame me for using you!
