Chapter 1201 Feng Yanran Mountain Inscription
"What? Compensation of 100,000 cattle and sheep, 50,000 war horses, and ceding the east of Yanran Mountain to the Ming Dynasty? It's outrageous. This Duke Jingguo is too greedy!" The leader of the Dulbert tribe Toro Huo said with a grim expression: "It's too much, brothers Sanhad, why don't we fight with the Ming army?"
Sanhad smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Toro Fire, you can't fight. You haven't seen the power of the Ming army's guns and cannons with your own eyes. It's not something we can resist. If you fight hard, you will end up like Weng Guochu and the others.
Wan, you have seen the stone mountain over there, and half of the mountain was flattened by the Ming army's overwhelming artillery fire. Even the main peak of Yanran Mountain had an avalanche. This is the warning given to us by the mountain god. If you do not compromise, you may suffer the disaster of destroying the country and genocide."
The angry look on Toro Fire's face was calmed down, and he was silent for a moment before saying, "Brother Sanhad, do you think we should agree?"
"There is only a dead end if you don't agree. The situation is stronger than others. What else can you do?" Sanhad asked helplessly.
Torohuo gritted his teeth and said, "But Ben Khan is unwilling to give up, the Ming people are too greedy."
Sanhad's eyes flashed: "Brothers of Toro Fire, there is an old saying among the Ming people: Keep the green mountains and don't be afraid of burning firewood. It's like grass on the grassland. As long as the roots are kept, they can grow again next year. Now we can only temporarily compromise with the Ming people to protect ourselves. Humph, the Ming people may not even be able to swallow the Tatars, and they still covet the territory of our Oirats. Sooner or later, they will not be able to eat them. So what if they temporarily allocate them to the east of Yanran Mountain."
When Torohuo heard this, his eyes lit up, and his face looked happy, "The Sanghad brothers said, the Ming people were greedy, but they didn't know that they would not be able to eat too much. When the Ming army occupied the Hetao area, they later obediently withdrew from the Great Wall and handed over the pastures on the Hetao Plain to the Tatars."
Sanhad sneered: "That's true, let's promise the Ming people for the time being that their troops will withdraw sooner or later. Then our Oirats will still go east of Yanran Mountain to graze. This land has nominal return to the Ming Dynasty, but in fact it is not our Oirats."
Toro Fire was in a good mood and laughed: "It's reasonable, but it's a real reward for 100,000 cattle and sheep and 50,000 war horses."
Sanhad said in a deep voice: "There is no other way, so I can only pay the compensation. Fortunately, the headquarters of the Heshuote tribe and the Turgute tribe were not copied by the Ming army. It should be enough to collect all the cattle, sheep and horses of the two departments."
The Toro Fire couldn't help but feel aroused. The Hoshuote tribe was originally the most powerful tribe in the Oirat, and the territory occupied was also the most fertile and the best. Except for the east of Yanran Mountain to the Ming Dynasty, the rest of it and Sanghad could be divided up with the sweet potatoes clearly, so he nodded happily and said, "Okay, then we will sign a contract with the Ming Dynasty tomorrow."
"Okay, but Brother Toro Fire, I'm afraid you will have to go to the Ming army camp with me tomorrow." Sanhad said in a deep voice.
Torohuo frowned and said, "Let's go all over to your wife. What if the Ming people don't trust us, what should we do if we take the opportunity to detain us?"
Sanhad shook his head and said, "With the strength of the Ming army, there is no need to cheat us. It can be seen that although the Duke of Yasukuni spoke loudly, he was indeed negotiating sincerely. However, this guy was decisive in killing and powerful, so he didn't have to report to the Emperor Ming Dynasty. He directly ordered Batal and Cosmon to be shot, so don't anger him tomorrow."
Toro Fire said sternly: "Or...I'd better not go, just in case."
"No, if you don't go, it may cause misunderstandings. Although the surname Xu looks gentle, he is very strong. If he is unhappy, he will cause troubles if he doesn't do it well." Sanhad said solemnly.
Toro Fire glanced at the main peak of Yanran Mountain in the distance and said helplessly: "Okay, I hope everything goes well, the mountain god will not abandon us."
…………
Sanhad said goodbye and left without even having a banquet, but saved a meal. Based on the principle of not leaving any other people's fields, Xu Jin summoned all his favorite generals to pick them up. He had enough meat and vegetables, but the wine was limited to avoid misfortune.
"How strange, this Sanhad obviously disagreed with the cedes of land at first, but later he suddenly agreed to sign the agreement." Qi Jingtong said while gnawing on the roasted lamb legs boldly.
Yu Linsheng said disapprovingly: "Then you have to ask, you must be scared by our firearms. I guess that fire almost scared him to pee his pants."
The generals couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Xie Erjian shook his head and said lightly: "The Oirats and the Tatars are both afraid of the mountain gods. I think Sanhad suddenly changed his mind because of the avalanche."
"Don't care, he's enough to give in anyway. If you don't agree, you'll give us military merits. Everyone here will have a share." Qi Jingtong chuckled and raised his glass: "Come on, let's go, let's go to Da Zheng for a glass."
The generals laughed and raised their wine glasses one by one, and they all looked so full of magic. Hehe, it was great to follow the generals to fight. They had gained military merits and expanded their territory this time. The merits of their own people were not as good as those of the generals when the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Jin happily raised his glass to drink with the generals. Just as he was putting down the wine, a scout came in and shouted: "Report, some situations were found under the main peak of Yanran Mountain."
The generals were slightly surprised. Did the Oirats move? Xu Jin calmly said: "What's the situation?"
"I found a lot of words on the avalanche cliff!" said the scout.
The generals couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that the Oirats were making small moves in secret. It turned out to be a word, and you kid are too pretentious.
Xu Jin's heart moved and stood up and said, "Take me to take a look."
The generals were a little dissatisfied with the stone carvings. However, since the general was interested, he might as well join in the fun. So he put down his bowls and chopsticks, surrounded Xu Jin and walked out of the coach's tent, and then rode his horse to the foot of the main peak of Yanran Mountain.
Due to the avalanche not long ago, a large dark cliff wall was exposed on the surface of the main edge of Yanran Mountain. The scout pointed to it and said, "Look at the Grandmaster, there are words on it."
Everyone looked up and saw a large passage of words engraved on the cliff more than ten feet high, and they were Chinese characters. Unfortunately, the lacquer was gone and I couldn't see what was written clearly.
Xu Jin took out the binoculars and observed them carefully for a moment. Suddenly, his face showed joy and blurted out with excitement: "It's "Feng Yanran Mountain Ming"!"
The generals couldn't help but look at each other. What is "Feng Yanran Mountain Inscription"? Why is Dashang so excited?
"Really, let me see!" Bingniuer snatched the telescope from Xu Jin's hand, observed the stone carvings on the cliff, and could see it very excited. He couldn't help but recite it: "On July of the autumn of the first year of Yongyuan, the uncle of Han Yuan said that the general of the chariot and cavalry, Dou Xian, Yin Liang, and Shengming, ascended the wing royal family, took it to Dalu, and Wei Qing, and arrested Xi. He then told Jinwu Geng Bing to report his duties and patrol the troops in Shuofang. The school of Yingyang, and the scholar of Chihu..."
Most of the generals present were old and confused by the literary words, but they still knew the name "Dou Xian". The famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty defeated the Northern Xiongnu and "slide stone carving" on Yanran Mountain. Could it be that the stone carving on this cliff was where Dou Xian first made stone carving.
In an instant, all the generals present were excited and witnessed history!
"Really, it's really "Feng Yanran Mountain Inscription", it's really true!" Xue Bingxin's pretty face rose two red clouds and exclaimed with excitement.
"Isn't that true? We are lucky and have the honor to witness history!" Xu Jin looked at her with a smile and said. Xue Bingxin realized that she had lost her composure and returned the telescope to Xu Jin with a pretty face.
Zhao Datou scratched Datou and couldn't wait to ask: "Master, what is "Feng Yanran Mountain Ming"? Is it very famous?"
Xu Jin smiled and said, "The "Inscription on the Mountain of Yanran" is an article engraved on Yanran when Dou Xianbei attacked the Huns in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was written by Ban Gu, which is the source of the allusion of the stone carving exercises."
Huang Jin said with a smile: "Million-year-old ancient sites are reappearing, is it God's will, it's so wonderful. Our family ordered the craftsmen to engrave the poem "The Inscription on Feng Yanran Mountain" next to the "Feng Yanran Mountain" so that the achievements of the commander and the generals are comparable to those of their ancestors, and shine with the sun and be remembered for generations, haha!"
"It's so wonderful, Eunuch Huang is so good!" The generals applauded in unison, and they were all so excited that they were as if they were injected with chicken blood.
It is no wonder that since Dou Xian, the general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, carved stones and carving merits on Yanran Mountain, this incident has become a legend and a symbol of supreme glory for soldiers. Since then, not only literati have written a lot about this, but military generals have also regarded "Yanran's merits" as their goal of their lifelong struggle.
Now I am lucky enough to witness history with my own eyes, and at the same time engrave my name on Yanran Mountain and next to "Feng Yanran Mountain Inscription". Can the generals not be excited about this kind of glory?
Xu Jin looked up at the stone carvings on the cliff, and felt mixed emotions. After careful calculation, Dou Xian, the General of the Eastern Han Dynasty, had been remembering the merits of the stone carvings and cavalry, who had been inscribed with stones here for nearly 1,500 years. This man had been in existence for thousands of years, but his achievements were still there. He was truly famous for his eternal fame!
Now, should I be famous for my own time and space for five hundred years? Have I seen history or created history? Will there be Xu Jin in the world in five hundred years? What would he think if he saw the stone carvings on this cliff?
Xu Jin stood under the cliff with his hands on his back for a long time, then he came back from his complicated and confused minds, nodded and said, "Eunuch Huang, let the craftsmen turn around and give a copy of the "Feng Yanran Mountain Inscription" to the emperor."
Huang Jin's eyes lit up and said, "Good idea, it's better for Duke Jingguo to think carefully. This is the best gift for the Emperor on the Birthday Day."
On May 15, the sixth year of Jiajing, the general of Pinghu, Xu Jin, Duke of Jingguo of the Ming Dynasty, followed the ancients and engraved stones in the "Feng Yanran Mountain Inscription"...
