After seven or eight bowls of wine, Li Qing seemed to be reaching his limit and spoke with a loud tongue.
Yu Qian was anxious but didn't know how to stop it.
Ye Xian was overjoyed, but he was almost done, but still refused to give up.
He took a deep breath and prepared to add fuel to the fire. The stage belongs to him tonight, Troros Yexian!
"Master Marquis, it's huge." He complimented him first and poured another bowl for Li Qing, and also poured a bowl for himself.
"You're not a bad drinker either." Li Qing burped, hesitated for a moment, then raised the wine bowl to touch it with the kid, and drank for a while before finishing it all.
Seeing this, Ye Xian, who was seventy percent drunk, drank it all like a shot of chicken blood and started pouring wine again.
Yu Qian really couldn't bear it anymore and said seriously: "Li Shangshu, you can't drink anymore."
"Don't worry, I will drink a thousand cups." Li Qing laughed, reached out and patted Yu Qian's shoulder, asking him to sit down.
Yu Qian was helpless and couldn't understand why this minister was like this.
Then, we drank three large bowls of wine.
This time, it was really measured first. My stomach was churning and my head was getting dizzy. It was also accompanied by a dull pain, like a needle prick.
Just when he was hesitating to give up, Li Qing spoke first, "I won't drink anymore. I really can't drink anymore."
Hearing this, I was once again aroused to be competitive, "The last bowl, I respect the Ming Dynasty."
After saying this, Li Qing had to drink even if he didn't want to.
Li Qing was a little reluctant, but he still took the wine that was offered to him tremblingly, "The last bowl."
"Tons, tons, tons..."
"Tons, tons, tons..."
The two drank heavily, and Li Qing was the first to drink up.
He was drinking first when suddenly an extreme pain hit his brain. He was not allowed to react, and his brain went blank and he completely lost consciousness.
"Plop...plop..."
The unfinished wine bowl fell to the ground and broke into several pieces. He also fell to the ground first, foaming at the mouth.
You kid, are you fighting with me? This time you're going to be stupid... Li Qing burped and said with a smile: "Chief of the ecstasy, I made the young master drink and vomited, take him down, it's time for us to talk about business."
.”
The visibility was not good at night, and the kumis was originally milky white, so it was difficult to tell the difference between spitting out the wine and pouring the froth. I didn’t think much about having sex, so I took him out first to sober up, and then greeted him affectionately.
Not only him, but also the generals from all the Wala tribes stood up and came to Li Qing, including Ashe Tiemur.
Everyone knows that the Ming Dynasty is rich, and they can eat a little bit from the cracks of their fingers to make their mouths full of oil. How could they miss such a great opportunity?
"Yongqinghou, the Tatars are powerful, have unparalleled prestige on the grassland, and their appeal is also good..." Tuohuan said, wanting to pluck the wool of the Ming Dynasty.
Yu Qian's eyes were focused, and he had already made a plan in his heart. Even if Li Qing was angry, he could not let Wala succeed.
"Don't the Wala tribe have the courage to fight against the Tatars?" Yu Qian said loudly, "If that's the case, then I think... there is no need for us to continue talking."
Tuohuan felt angry, then shuddered, and then he noticed the inconspicuous Yu Qian.
He could look down on Yu Qian, but he didn't dare to look down on Li Qing, let alone Daming. He raised his hands and said, "This is...?"
"The Ministry of War is in trouble, Yu Qian!"
Yu Qian introduced himself to his family.
Before Tuohuan could say anything, Yu Qian added, "They say that all the men on the grassland are brave, but now it seems...but I don't know, Ming Dynasty will not support cowardly people."
After saying that, he helped Li Qing stand up and said, "Li Shangshu, let's go. Wala is not worthy of our training in the Ming Dynasty. Even if the Tatars really unify Mongolia, it won't matter. When the time comes, it will be more convenient for our Ming Dynasty to fight."
Li Qing nodded lazily: "Then...that's it. I'll go back first, everyone, stay here. Tomorrow...Hiccup, let's fight again."
Still fighting?
Tuo Huan's face turned green, and he wished he could strangle Qian to death. All the leaders of the ministries looked ugly, and even Ashe Tiemu'er was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.
If the Ming Dynasty does not support Wala, then Uliangha will be really doomed. Not only will his people be enslaved and assimilated by the Tatars, but even his current people will become captives of the Ming Dynasty.
"Master Hou, think twice!" everyone said in unison.
Tuohuan quickly confessed: "We Oara people are all warriors and are not afraid of death. Although the Tatars are strong, we will not be scared by them."
Ashe Temür followed closely behind, "Uliangha is willing to fight against the Tatars together with Wala."
He knew that he didn't have much leverage, so he had no choice but to bring in Wala.
Tuo Huan felt unhappy, but a fly's legs were also meat. With Wu Liangha joining in, he could somewhat resist part of the Tatar offensive. Both sides had a common enemy and common interests. He would not refute A Shi Tie at this time.
Mu'er.
Li Qing withdrew his arm and sat down again. He seemed to have woken up from the drunkenness. "Chief Tuohuan, what do you want to say about Wala's invasion of Hami?"
Tuo Huan felt dizzy for a while, but she didn't expect that Li Qing would settle the score at this juncture.
"This...this..." Tuohuan's face was covered with sweat, but he didn't know how to explain it. In fact, he had nothing to explain. He was the one who allowed the invasion of Hami.
This kid is really dishonest... Li Qing said in a bad tone, "Should Wala give an explanation to the Ming Dynasty?"
"Yongqinghou... ah no, how can the Ming explain to Wala?" Tuohuan asked bravely, but there was no other way. The Ming army was watching eagerly from a few miles away, and they could not tolerate his intransigence.
Li Qing was very dissatisfied with this man's uprightness. He cleared his throat and said, "The Ming Dynasty is surrounded by all the seas and has a vast land and abundant resources... However, no matter how rich the Ming Dynasty is, it still belongs to the Ming Dynasty. How can we let others ask for anything?"
Now that we have talked about this, no matter how stupid he is, he understands what Li Qing means.
To put it bluntly, we want Wala to pay for it.
Yu Qian also glanced at Li Qing in surprise. He even had the illusion that his minister had not drunk too much.
Tuo Huan pondered for a moment and then said tentatively: "Wala is willing to offer five thousand cattle and sheep to apologize to the Ming Dynasty."
"Five thousand yaks, just five thousand yaks." Li Qing said magnanimously, "The Ming Dynasty is not short of money, all it needs is attitude."
"The Marquis is magnanimous, the Ming Dynasty is magnanimous." Ashi Tiemuer flattered him in time. It was not his fault anyway, so he didn't feel sorry for him at all.
It was a little painful to take off the wedding, but when I thought of Tatar, I nodded happily.
He said with a flattering smile: "I hope that Marquis Yongqing can speak kindly to me in front of His Majesty the Emperor."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Li Qing smiled and nodded.
…
After some scene talk, Li Qing took the initiative to get to the point.
"The Ming Dynasty will increase trade with the Oara Tribe and the Ulliangha Tribe, such as tea, iron pots, silk and other supplies. The amount will increase, and even... firearms can be provided."
Li Qing came up with a big piece of cake, and he was so greedy that he was so happy that he laughed, and Ashe Timur was also rubbing his hands in excitement.
They know very well how powerful firearms are. This thing is a cheating device on the battlefield.
"Does Marquis Yongqing really mean what he said?"
"Of course, but the prerequisite is that you have to prove that you have capital worthy of investment and that you are loyal to the Ming Dynasty." Li Qing said.
Tuo Huan vowed, "We are in Wala, and only the Ming Dynasty will follow our lead!"
"Wuliang Hawei followed the Ming Dynasty's lead." Ah Shi Tiemur followed closely to show his loyalty.
Li Qing smiled and said, "I am willing to believe in your sincerity, but you must also show your sincerity to convince the emperor and the court."
After chatting about the details of the trade for a while, Li Qing stood up and said, "Let's stop here tonight. I want to report to the emperor first to confirm the goods to be traded, and at the same time, let him know the sincerity of Ourabu's repentance."
Tuo Huan said with a smile: "The yak will be delivered to His Majesty the Emperor before noon tomorrow."
"That's very good." Li Qing smiled and said, "Then I will come back tomorrow afternoon."
Tuohuan could still understand such a simple subtext, and repeatedly promised that it would be delivered as scheduled.
After all was said and done, Li Qing had achieved the purpose of his trip. Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, a man ran over with a panicked look on his face and started to cry.
Because he spoke Mongolian, Li Qing didn't understand it, but he could make a rough guess.
Sure enough, Tuo Huan's eyes were about to burst and he roared again and again.
"What happened?" Li Qing asked.
Ashe Tiemur explained in a low voice: "The son of Tuanhuan will also die of drunkenness first."
"What?" Li Qing was shocked, "He was just drunk, how could it be so serious?"
After a pause, he asked, "Chief Tu Huan, could it be that your subordinates made a mistake?"
Although he was confident in his own methods, Li Qing still wanted to see it with his own eyes. After all, the little wolf cub had a great influence on the Ming Dynasty.
Tuo Huan was stunned for a moment, then a glimmer of hope surged up, and he hurried to visit, with Li Qing following closely behind.
Yu Qian pulled him and whispered, "Li Shangshu, let's not go. This... is not a good thing."
He didn't have the nerve to say: I'll drink to death with you, but you have the nerve to watch it!?
"It doesn't matter." Li Qing shook his head slightly and followed suit.
~
He lay there quietly on the low bed, his eyes closed tightly, his face gray and already cold.
Tuo Huan stepped forward, stared left and right, and found with dejection that her son was really dead.
"My condolences, Chief Tuhuan." Li Qing said in a sad tone, "I am so jealous of the talented people, how could I just... ugh!"
Tuohuan turned around and glanced at Li Qing, his lips moved a few times, but in the end he said nothing and just nodded lightly.
The death of his son made him sad, but he could not rely on Li Qing.
It was his son who wanted to drink wine from Li Qing, not Li Qing who wanted to drink wine from his own son. Speaking of which, it was his own fault.
What's more, Wala still needs to honor the Ming Dynasty. He will not be at odds with Li Qing or the Ming Dynasty because of this.
Tuo Huan was not distraught. As a hero, it was natural for him to be sad when his son died, but it did not make him lose his mind. Moreover, he had more than one son, but... he couldn't figure it out.
Although my son is not very old, his drinking capacity is not bad, and he is no worse than a mature man.
I drank a lot tonight, but how could I not drink myself to death?
I can't help but miss my sister!
Li Qing breathed a long sigh of relief. It was better now. Wala was beaten twice and his vitality was severely damaged. It was no longer a cause for concern. In addition, the little wolf cub was also dead. From now on, he only had to watch Tatar.
Li Qing couldn't help frowning when he thought of Tatar.
The Tatars actually learned to play Sun Tzu's Art of War. This is not a good sign!
