Gao Mo said in surprise: "Why is Han Naji so... favored?"
"Actually, this kid is generally called Dacheng Taiji. This is his title in Mongolia. We should pay more attention here." Cao Gan casually "corrected" and then continued: "How should I say... this guy's father
It is human nature that my mother died early and my grandparents suffered more. Furthermore, although Xin Ai Huang Taiji is my eldest son, at most he can only lead troops to fight and is barely able to do so. In other respects...
...are not very good, so his status is not very stable. Compared with Dacheng Taiji, who is deeply favored by Yike Hatun, the weight of his words is indeed not heavy, but Gao Tuanzuo, Gao Tuan Vice-President, you two
Don't underestimate Xin Ai because of this, after all, this person is the eldest son of Anda, and he actually has some prestige in the entire Tumut tribe."
Gao Mo thought for a while, but before he spoke, Gao Jue spoke for the first time: "Can he be in charge of troops?"
Cao Gan nodded and said: "He is in charge of the army, but he doesn't have many troops in his headquarters. I answer that this person has a very tight grasp on military power. He usually does not spread his military power too thinly. Although due to Mongolian practice, Xin Ai also has
His own troops, but their strength is far inferior to that of An Da. This year he was ordered to send out a partial army to attack Jinzhou, but they were quickly repelled. It is said that Jinzhou used the method taught by Qi Zongrong to concentrate.
A large number of thunderbolt hand cannons - what the eldest young master calls grenades, dealt a big blow to Xin Ai's troops who were attacking the city."
Gao Jue was trained under Qi Jiguang and received personal guidance from Qi Jiguang. He had also read the weapons atlas Gao Jingshi gave to Qi Jiguang. Of course he knew the power of grenades after Gao Jingshi's improvement, but he still had some doubts.
Frowning, he asked: "Didn't you say that Xin Ai still has his own way of fighting? His 'special way' is to lead the cavalry to surround Jinzhou City?"
Well, the cavalry besieging the city and attacking it is really very skillful. In Gao Jue's eyes, this great prince of Anda is a model of a wise death.
However, Cao Gan cleared Xin Ai's charges. Cao Gan said: "They didn't use cavalry to besiege Jinzhou... They knew they couldn't take it, because before Xin Ai sent troops, in addition to his own troops, Anda also gave him less than 10,000 yuan."
He was looking for a place to plunder near Jinzhou. It seemed that he suffered a defeat in a fort. Nearly a hundred people were killed by a grenade. He retreated in a hurry. More than 80 corpses were left behind by the border troops in the capital.
, Qi Zongrong was rewarded thirty taels of silver by the Ministry of War for this."
When it comes to the silver reward from the Ministry of War, even Gao Jue curled his lips - he is now under Gao Pangshi's command and earns sixty taels of silver per month. This time he went to the border and directly received two hundred taels of "travel expenses", and Qi Jiguang as
The dignified commander-in-chief of a town is only worth thirty taels for his meritorious service in repelling the eldest prince of the Tumote tribe... Fortunately, I, Gao Jue, followed the right person.
At this time, Cao Gan saw that Gao Jue didn't say anything anymore, and turned his attention to Gao Mo, who was really in charge, and asked: "Gao Tuanzuo, you haven't said the specific instructions of the eldest master yet?"
Gao Mo frowned and said: "The news you told me seems to be slightly different from what the eldest young master said... But it doesn't matter, let's take our time." He paused, sighed in embarrassment, and said: "
It's not that I don't want to say it, but the fact is that this time the young master is different from usual, and the instructions he gave are very vague... He asked us to pay close attention to the recent movements of Hannaji - the Dacheng Taiji you mentioned, and it is best to follow
Make friends with him, and if possible, we must make him feel that we are very trustworthy people, so that if anything happens, he can follow us with confidence."
Cao Gan opened his mouth wide and closed it after a long while. He swallowed hard and asked in disbelief: "An accident happened? And after the accident, do you want Dacheng Taiji to leave with us without any worries?"
He stretched out his hand and rubbed his bald head: "This boy is the most favored among my grandchildren. What can happen to him? Could he still rebel against his grandfather? This is impossible, he has suffered
I am favored and favored, but in my position, it is not his turn to sit in my turn. How could he do this? Have you lost your mind and gone crazy? "
Gao Mo and Gao Jue looked at each other and then asked: "Shopkeeper Cao, how much do you know about Dacheng Taiji? Have you heard that he wants to marry a wife or take a concubine in the near future?
"
"Recently?" Cao Gan frowned and thought thoughtfully: "As far as I know, Dacheng Taiji got married very early and married when he was twelve years old. What is his real name? As an outsider, I have no way of knowing.
Ordinary Mongolians don't dare to shout randomly. They only know that everyone calls her Dacheng Biji - Biji is not a name, but a title, which is roughly equivalent to our Ming Dynasty's 'Madam'."
Marrying a wife at the age of twelve was of course a non-starter in later generations, and was even rare in the Ming Dynasty. However, it was still quite common in Mongolia, especially among the Mongolian nobles, so neither Gao Mo nor Gao Jue expressed their opinions on this matter.
.On the contrary, after hearing that Dacheng Taiji married his first wife at the age of twelve, the two frowned and looked at each other. Finally, Gao Mo asked: "He married his wife at the age of twelve...how old is he now?"
"About 17 or 18 years old." Cao Gan obviously didn't inquire about this information clearly, but he had seen this person, so it was okay to do a visual inspection, and he was confident that the error here would not be too big.
Gao Mo asked again: "So, before I asked Shopkeeper Cao's third wife, how much does Shopkeeper Cao know about her?"
Cao Gan laughed and said: "The one you are talking about is only called Sanniangzi by our merchants in the Ming Dynasty, but the Mongols call her Zhongjinhatun."
Gao Jue rarely intervened at this time and asked: "I know Hatun. In our Ming Dynasty, she is roughly equivalent to a princess, but what does this 'Zhong Jin' mean? Is it her real name?"
"No, no." Cao Gan shook his head repeatedly: "How can anyone put his real name in front of his title? Even if the Mongolians don't understand etiquette, they wouldn't be so vulgar. The meaning of 'Zhong Jin', well...I
Think about what to say..."
Gao Mo asked curiously: "It's just two words, isn't it very complicated?"
"How do you say this..." Cao Gan touched his bald head and simply explained: "In Mongolian, this Zhongjin means very, very noble, and it is not just any Mongolian noble.
You can use 'Zhongjin' to express your dignity."
Gao Mo was a little confused and asked: "Then why can she use it? Because she is married to Anda?"
"Of course not, otherwise why wouldn't Yike Hatun be called Zhongjin Hatun?" When Cao Gan said this, he seemed to suddenly realize it, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "Oh! I remembered, he must be a descendant of the Golden Family.
, can be given the word 'Zhongjin'! But... I forgot whether this word can only be used by women."
Gao Mo was surprised: "Isn't she the granddaughter of An Da? How come her maternal lineage is from the Golden Family, so she can be directly counted as a descendant of the Golden Family?"
Unexpectedly, Cao Gan was more surprised than him. He opened his eyes wide and said, "Who said she is An Da's granddaughter? Where did this ridiculous rumor come from? This Zhongjin Hatun is the daughter of Shen Taiji, the evildoer of Wo'erdu Division.
Ah!" He was stunned for a moment, then remembered something, suddenly laughed, and said: "Did you hear that Ji Shen Taiji is my son-in-law, so Zhongjin Hatun is my granddaughter? No.
, No, when Ji Shen Taiji married Anda's daughter, Zhongjin Hatun was already born - she was the daughter of Ji Shen Taiji's first Biji, and her mother had died long ago."
***The author has something to say***
Thanks to the book friend for the reward "One thought lasts forever", thank you! By the way, since the Mongolian version of "The Biography of Altan Khan" (Altan Khan is Amada Khan) came out, international and domestic scholars have paid great attention to Amada Khan.
There are many differences from the previous research, but in fact there is still controversy about the birth origin of Sanniangzi. Not to mention China, there are scholars from Japan to Germany who have studied it, and the differences are not small. But there is a clear understanding that has been passed down to this day.
The "Small Portrait of the Third Lady Zhongshun, Lady Zhongshun, the Wife of King Shunyi of Ming Dynasty" clearly stated that she was from Woerdusi (i.e. Ordos tribe). The way of citing in this book can only be regarded as a family statement. This kind of
Let's wait until the historians reach a consensus...
