Dorgon and Tiemo both made a tacit agreement to make a verbal agreement without leaving any excuses. Both parties knew in their hearts that this cooperation was only temporary and each took what they wanted. The agreement could be broken at any time one day in the future.
After Minte's troops withdrew eastward, Dorgon and Duoduo also chose to withdraw to Shenyang, but before leaving, they asked Obai to lead more than a thousand people to the rear.
It is self-evident who Ao Bai is guarding against.
Dorgon has always wanted to find an opportunity to kill Tie Mo, so why not Tie Mo?
As long as there is a chance, it will definitely not be a loss to kill Dorgon. Tie Mo knows better than anyone else how powerful Dorgon is. Although there are many capable people in the Later Jin Dynasty, only the emperor is the real threat to the Ming Dynasty.
Tai Chi and Dorgon.
Otherwise, among so many brothers, Huang Taiji would only target the young Dorgon?
...
In a temporary yurt, Zhou Dingshan was sitting cross-legged on a mat with a somewhat complicated expression.
He was somewhat dissatisfied with Tie Mo's behavior of reselling arms to Dorgon. After the Jin cholera epidemic broke out in Liaodong, Tie Shouwei's behavior was purely to support the enemy.
"Brother Tie, I don't understand. The Jurchens have cholera in Liaodong and are attacking our people. Aren't you helping the Jurchens by doing this?"
"No, Dingshan, you are wrong. I am not helping the Jurchens, but helping Dorgon. Dorgon is too weak. I need him to be stronger. Moreover, even if I don't sell to Dorgon
Can't he get the ordnance? Driven by profit, there are always people who take desperate risks, and the Kang family has always done this. The Kang family can do business with Huang Taiji, and they can also do business with Dorgon."
Tie Mo's face was quite calm and he was not angry because of Zhou Dingshan's doubts. "In that case, we will accept this deal. Xuanfu Hei Yunlong, Li Jiasheng and others have a lot of discarded rags in their hands, so we can just take them out."
If you sell it to Dorgon, you can also get some more war horses. Although we are not short of war horses, Dorgon is short of war horses. With the little capital in his hand, if he wants war horses, he will have to plunder nearby tribes. When the time comes, the emperor
What would Tai Chi think?”
"A war horse is not an ordinary object. It is too easy to arouse people's sensitive nerves. If it can provoke internal strife between Huang Taiji and Dorgon, we will definitely make a profit."
"If we give the eliminated defective products to Dorgon, will he want it? Isn't he stupid?"
"He will definitely want it. Something is better than nothing. The important thing is not whether he will accept it, but what Huang Taiji thinks. Dorgon suddenly wanted to purchase a large amount of ordnance privately without discussion. If you are Huang Taiji, you
What do you think?"
Zhou Dingshan looked stunned, thought for a while, and whispered: "If I were Huang Taiji, I would be more wary and even attack Dorgon secretly."
"That's right. Huang Taiji will definitely use secret methods. However, in my opinion, Dorgon is not a short-lived person. It is impossible to say that there will be a good show between these two Taijis."
After listening to Tie Mo's explanation, Zhou Dingshan felt much better.
On the other hand, Liu Guoneng, Li Wanqing and others next to them did not have so many ideas. They had all become rebels, so they no longer had taboos.
...
Lin Danhan's soldiers and horses were repulsed, and Dorgon also led his troops back as agreed. It seemed that everything was calm again, but there were still endless hidden dangers hidden in this vast prairie.
After the battle in the Zakma Grassland, Bayan Khan had a clear picture. The Naiman tribe and the Sunit tribe had to decide the outcome. But at this fatal moment, Kachin Khan fell.
.
Kachin Khan was not seriously ill, but became dazed and listless. The death of his son made him unable to care about tribal affairs, as if he had lost his soul.
Seven days have passed since the war began. Kachin Khan drank alcohol almost every day to drown his sorrows, with no sign of improvement. Gradually, the hidden dangers hidden in the Naiman tribe became apparent bit by bit.
Most Mongolians are very simple. They admire warriors and would never tolerate their Khan being a coward.
In the big tent, there were several sturdy Mongolian men sitting. They were divided into two groups, sitting opposite each other. The leaders were Orger and Batu. The two sides seemed to have just had a conflict, and they looked gloomy.
"Orge, you have to understand that this is not my intention, but the intention of the leaders of each department. The Khan only knows how to drink every day and fall unconscious. How can such a person be the Khan of the Naiman tribe?"
Orger had a cold face and said in a sarcastic voice: "Hey, if King Khan is like this, doesn't he still have a princess?"
"Princess?" Batu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled strangely, "She is a woman. When did we allow a woman to take charge of affairs on our grassland? What's more... He fought fiercely with the Han people, which is really frustrating.
She is in charge, and our Naiman Department still doesn’t know what will happen.”
"Batu, you are talking so much, isn't it because of your ambition? Since the princess helped the consort to stabilize Zhangbeicheng, our life has been getting better and better. You can't see this, right?"
Orger stood up slowly, holding the handle of the knife in his left hand, and glanced at the dozen men opposite him with sharp eyes, "Do you also have the same idea as Batu?"
The Mongolian men were silent. After a long time, one of them stood up and replied: "Brother Orger, the princess is good, but she is too close to the Han people. When did we Mongolians start to act based on the faces of the Han people?"
?”
Orger couldn't help but get angry, "You bunch of bastards, do you have to hunt down grass and go to war every year? That's what you want?"
Youdao said not to speculate, but Orger could tell that these people were determined to leave with Batu, and it was useless no matter how much they said.
"Batu, I know I can't stop you, but you can't hurt the princess. Moreover, there are powerful enemies on the side right now, and Bayan will attack our troops at any time. Do you understand?"
Batu put away his smile and his face became more solemn, "You don't need to tell me this, but some problems must be solved."
.......
Olge returned to his place with an angry expression. Aqige had been waiting in the tent, and beside her sat Tie Mo with a solemn face.
When Olge sat down, Aqige said in a deep voice: "How is the matter?"
"It's useless. Batu has been ambitious for a long time, but because Khan is young and strong, he has no chance. Now that Khan has become like this, he has a chance. The most important thing is..."
Orger looked hesitant and glanced at Tie Mo from the corner of his eyes.
The latter nodded slightly and said: "Brother Orger, if you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."
"Well, in fact, the most important reason why Batu was able to persuade so many people was the matter of the consort. There are too many people in the tribe who cannot understand the princess's painstaking efforts. They do not want to get too close to the Han people."
Aqige's face turned red with anger, and she punched the cushions hard. Her eyes showed loneliness and grievance, which made people feel pity.
"Is it wrong to let the tribal people live a good life forever and stay away from wandering and weapons?"
Aqige couldn't understand. Helping Tie Mo stabilize Zhangbeicheng and reorganize the fifth battalion were all for the future of the Naiman tribe. In the future, the Naiman tribe would never fight again because of lack of food, let alone a few kilograms.
