"Report! Your Majesty, Dingyu, the Marquis of Kaiyuan in Liaodong, has arrived. []"
Arutai was overjoyed when he heard the news. Ding Yu came at the right time, just in time for the Wala messenger to witness his close relationship with the Ming court, and to fight for more opportunities for himself. Arutai glanced at the Wala messenger arrogantly.
, said to the leaders: "Everyone, leaders, please follow me to greet Kaiyuan Hou!"
Ding Yu is a marquis, and Arutai was granted the title of king by the Ming Dynasty. In the title of Ming Dynasty, he belongs to the first level of a county prince, lower than a prince, but higher than a duke or count. Usually when Ding Yu comes to him, Arutai
He would not go out to greet him in person. This time, he wanted to demonstrate to Wala, so he went out to meet him in person. The Nawala envoy did not know the truth of what he said, but he wanted to get a glimpse of the truth, so he followed him out quietly.
The benefit lies in the fact that Ding Yu now represents the Ming Dynasty in the eyes of Arutai. He is indeed very welcome. Arutai picked up Ding Yu and welcomed him in happily. Ding Yu saw the envoy of Nawala wandering around at a glance.
As he followed up, he looked a little strange, not like the people from Arutai. Although there was no clue about the reason from his clothes, the man's expression and behavior were very different from those of the generals around Arutai.
Ding Yu sat down and asked Arutai: "Your Majesty, who is this...?"
Arutai had a sad look on his face and whispered: "The Marquis didn't know something, and Wala came to invade. Arutai asked his daughter Tuya to lead a tribe to retreat first, but who knew that Wala kidnapped him..."
Ding Yu was shocked and lost his voice: "Miss Ulantuya was kidnapped?"
Ding Yu knew how Wulan Tuya tried to assassinate Duke Fu in Liaodong, but was released by Duke Fu.
Now times have changed, and inexplicably, Ulan Tuya has become a spy sent by the Duke of Fuguo to Zailutai. Ding Yu is not stupid, and An Neng doesn't know that he has a hidden agenda, so he is shocked.
Arutai thought that Ding Yu was really in love with Wulantuya, and he was so rude when he knew that his sweetheart was caught. He couldn't help but said sadly: "Yes! That's right. When I heard the news, I was also heartbroken. Now they are sending people here with the intention of changing
I want to exchange Tuya for Mandu Ratu, the Wala general who was captured by me..."
Ding Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "That's great, let's just exchange it!"
Arutai said sternly: "Ulan Tuya is my adopted daughter. If I could bring her back in exchange for her, why wouldn't the boss say no? But I am totally willing to do this, but I can't do this!"
Ding Yu was stunned and said in astonishment: "Why is this?"
Arutai said: "Master Xu! That Mandu Ratu burned my food and grass, attacked my camp, burned, killed and looted, and his hands were stained with the blood of many of my people..."
Ding Yu was displeased and frowned: "This is not a personal enmity. The two armies are fighting. How can we tolerate mercy from Che Dian? Now that the war has been decided, should we just sit back and watch the captured people be killed by the other side? The worst is to exchange it. If you don't accept it, just be honest."
Just beat it again!"
Arutai said: "What the Marquis said is certainly reasonable. However, we still have one of our generals, Ars, who fell into the hands of Wala. As the king of the Tatars, Arutai can only prioritize public affairs before private affairs. If he wants to change,
We also need to exchange Alsi Leng back first! If they are willing to exchange Alsi Leng and Ulantuya back, it would be impossible to ask me to replace a few more captured Wala leaders, but they don't agree. So and so
, Even if I am reluctant to give up, I can’t follow my own selfish path!”
Speaking of this, Arutai couldn't help but burst into tears. The crowd, Ars Leng's father, and the leader of the Chaba cadre, Narisong, burst into tears with excitement. He was not very loyal to Arutai.
, but at this moment, he was dead-set on the ground and only obeyed Alutai’s order.
Ding Yu was still waiting to speak, but the words were on his lips, but he suddenly swallowed them back.
At present, the war between Oara and the Tatars has become unstoppable, and Liaodong's early intervention has become inevitable. The original plan was to wait until Arutai's troops were exhausted, and he could not resist in the slightest, then he would fully accept Tatar rule and distribute it through distribution.
They provided food relief, clothing, felt tents and other means to compile household registers for the Tatar people. Based on the successful experience of Liaodong's tribal transformation, they broke the original Tatar organization and brought the Tatar herdsmen under the rule of the imperial court.
Once the people were directly under the control of the court, the original leaders, high-ranking officials and nobles became rootless ducks and water without a source. They retained their existing wealth in vain, but their power was gone. They could only rely on the court.
Driven by the imperial court, this is a long-lasting matter for the imperial court. When the time comes, it will be impossible to use both soft and hard tactics, to recruit groups and attack groups, and to use bloody methods against the herdsmen and nobles who resist transformation.
The nomads are tough and cannot be conquered by force. The grassland is vast and it is impossible to apply the original method of governing the people. Therefore, they can only divide their power to spread their strength, divide their land and govern their people. Through a long period of integration and governance, it is called
They are attached to the Ming Dynasty and can never get rid of it. To achieve this goal, they can only use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once the opportunity is missed, it will be useless to ask them to slow down.
If he continues to fight hard for Miss Sakura, this old fox will probably turn from passive to active and lead him away. He said it so righteously, how can he force himself on him? If he does that, this old fox will continue to act pretentious.
Instead, it allowed his officials to win the hearts and minds of the army and the people. Now that Arutai still has a certain degree of strength, it will not be appropriate to divide and disintegrate the Tatar ruling group.
Furthermore, Ding Yu is different from Xia Xun. He is a man born and raised in this era. His concept of the importance of a country or a woman is similar to that of Arutai. In his opinion, even though the Duke of the country likes this Xiaoying
Girl, given the power and position of the Duke, what kind of stunning woman cannot be summoned? I will never affect the progress of the court's plans because of her. If I make rash decisions, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating.
With this idea in mind, Ding Yu no longer dared to make any independent decisions. He just wanted to report the news to the Duke and let him deal with it.
Arutai glanced at Ding Yu slyly, and couldn't help but feel proud when he saw him lowering his head and saying nothing, his expression changing.
In this way, he not only won the hearts and minds of the army, but also made Ding Yu, the Marquis of Kaiyuan of the Ming Dynasty, turn against Wala. If Ulantuya had always been good, Ding Yu would definitely use hard and soft methods to force Wala to release him after he asked the Ming court for mediation.
If Ulan Tuya is humiliated, ill-treated or even executed, wouldn’t the Kaiyuan Marquis who likes Tuya become
Wala’s enemy?
Based on the habit of treating captives by grassland tribes, since Ulantuya has lost exchange value, it is very possible for Huo Ahatun to humiliate or even execute her in order to give an explanation to the tribe. In this way, he will
He had a good reputation among his tribe for being willing to cut off personal relationships for the benefit of his tribe, but Wala didn't know that Ding Yu loved Tuya very much, so he attracted a powerful enemy to himself for no reason.
The more Arutai thinks about it, the more proud he becomes. Readers may be surprised by his mentality: How come this man even ruthlessly abandons his adopted daughter who has done a great service to him and yet is suppressed by his tribe? In fact, this is related to the customs of the tribe at that time.
, the nomads outside the Mosai are fierce and aggressive, but they can fight for the grassland and water sources of the clan, and they can fight for the morale of men, but they will never fight for women. [Quality novel, real quality, good novel!]
Even if this woman is the mother, wife or daughter of the leader of the tribe, if you start a war on the grounds that she was kidnapped or insulted, the tribe will despise you and think that you have no ambition and no future, and you are doing it just for the sake of a reproduction tool.
Sacrifice the lives of many tribesmen, he is not worthy of his leader. Don't even think about asking them to fight for a woman like the Trojan War.
Although the Trojan War is said to be for Queen Helen, it is just a grand excuse with deep economic interests behind it. However, this excuse is at least accepted by all the people, and countless warriors are willing to die for this reason. And here, such
The reason is impossible to shout out, and if you shout it out, you will only be scorned and ridiculed by the whole people. Therefore, Arutai's calculation is not outrageous.
Before Zhu Di arrived in Beijing, he received the urgent message from Xia Xun on an eight-hundred-mile horse. After reading it, Zhu Di felt deeply that the situation was serious. The good situation created by one careless effort would be completely lost. It would only take a few years to restore them.
After losing his vitality, Saibei was still a Tatar and a Wala. The two evil wolves chose the opportunity to devour him, so he made a decisive decision and immediately approved Xia Xun's suggestion.
During the journey, Zhu Di issued more than ten imperial edicts, ordering the Liaodu Dusi, Nuergan Dusi, Shanxi Dusi, Shaanxi Dusi, Hami Guards, Hami King, Biechu Bali King, and the Beijing branch to send troops respectively, and at the same time issued an edict to Nanjing.
, and asked Taizuozi, who was in charge of the war in Nanjing, to immediately raise military pay and rations. At the same time, he also issued a benevolent decree and granted rewards to Nuer Gandusi, King Hami, and King Bieshe Bali, etc., to reassure him.
In view of the rapidly changing situation outside the Great Wall, Zhu Di was afraid of making a mistake, so he ordered Xia Xun to rush to Liaodong immediately to take charge of the situation in person. Things that were too late to request orders could be dealt with cheaply and dealt with first. Since Ji Gang was mainly responsible for the news from Oara, he had to go to Liaodong in advance.
Living with a Tatar was a lot of inconvenience, so he was still allowed to sit in Beijing.
Xia Xun learned that the emperor had made a decisive move and couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. How the situation would eventually develop is still unknown at the moment, but at least what should be done has been done. Even if things fail, it doesn't have to be because something can be done.
Feeling sorry for not doing it.
Xia Xun has been in Liaodong for three years and knows it very well. He has a high prestige among the three divisions of Liaodong, the Jurchen tribes, and even the three guards of Duoyan. In particular, the national integration policy he formulated in Liaodong has been very effective. He is asked to go to Liaodong.
He was the best candidate. Xia Xun did not dare to neglect, immediately packed his bags and headed straight for Liaodong.
The fresh wind is like a knife, snow foam is flying all over the sky, the cliffs are steep, the forest is heavy, and a mighty dragon-like river is frozen by the severe cold, with ice three feet thick.
More than a hundred warriors wearing cold-proof leather robes wrapped their bodies tightly, with only a thin line under their eyebrows exposed, marching with difficulty in the heavy snow.
When they arrived at the river, because there was snow on the ice and the road was too slippery, they had to go down on foot. A soldier from the border army who was serving as a guide came up to the person in front, pulled down his watch, and said breathlessly: "My lord, please come over."
There is a post station about two miles away from this river, and the post station there is equipped with a sledge. Our speed is... we can speed up!"
The wind was so strong that he opened his mouth and poured it into his mouth. After saying these few words, the man coughed violently. Xia Xun nodded, squinted and looked across the river, and suddenly saw three knights on the other side of the river, holding hands
The horses were about to cross the river, and the three knights were all wearing bulky leather robes to keep out the cold. It was unclear whether they were soldiers or civilians, but behind their shoulders, they all had a small red triangular flag, which was clearly a military post.
.
Xia Xun stopped and ordered: "Someone is coming from the other side, but don't go yet. Wait until they come over and ask about the situation in Liaoji!"
