When Sai Sang heard this, he thought that he had found the whereabouts of the Ming army. So, he quickly waved his hand and drove the female slaves away, and then asked the man: "Do you know what the Jurchen envoy is here for?"
"Back to the Great Khan, it is said that there is news about the Ming army." That man knew that King Darhan was very anxious about the whereabouts of the Ming army, so he hurried in to report the news.
When Sai Sang heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly ordered to be summoned.
Sure enough, when the envoy sent by Daishan saw Saisang, he said: "Honorable King Darhan, my master Heshuobele Daishan sent me to inform you that our army's scouting horses have discovered traces of the Ming army."
"Speak quickly." Sai Sang felt that the messenger was speaking too slowly and urged him quickly.
Seeing Sai Sang's anxious appearance, the envoy said quickly: "Our army's detective horses found traces of the Ming army passing by about five hundred miles southwest of the Zhuri River Grassland. According to the analysis given to my master by the experienced detective horses in the army,
It's coming to you. So..."
"What, you're coming to me?" Upon hearing the news, Sai Sang directly interrupted the messenger and confirmed.
The envoy was not affected by Sai Sang's rude interruption at all, and still replied respectfully: "Yes, distinguished King Darhan, my master recommends that you send an army to intercept head-on, while my Golden Army pursues you from behind.
Kill these Ming troops on the spot."
"Okay, okay, okay. Without further ado, go back and report to your master, and tell me that I will send troops to intercept immediately." Upon hearing this, Sai Sang stood up immediately and immediately ordered this envoy of good deeds.
When the messenger heard this, he was a little surprised by Sai Sang's impatience. He quickly reminded Sai Sang: "Honorable King Darhan, do you know the strength of the Ming army?"
When Sai Sang heard this, he realized that he seemed to be a little anxious and did not ask clearly about the strength of the troops. If the envoy had left just now and discovered this problem later, it would have been difficult. In the end, he would have to chase the envoy and ask clearly.
A lot of time wasted.
Thinking of this, Sai Sang couldn't help but admire the Jurchens' carefulness. He quickly said: "Do you know the strength of the Ming army?"
The messenger replied with a smile: "Honorable King Darhan, according to the analysis of our army, the strength of the Ming army should be around 10,000. The specific number cannot be confirmed. Please send enough troops to annihilate the Ming army in one fell swoop.
Don’t let the Ming army harm the grassland anymore.”
Sai Sang stroked his beard, and while listening to the messenger's reply, he was thinking about what else he needed to ask, so as not to miss it again, otherwise he would be embarrassed in front of the Jurchen messenger.
After the Jurchen envoy finished speaking, Sai Sang did not speak, and the tent became quiet for a while.
After a while, Sai Sang still didn't remember anything he had missed, so he said to the messenger: "If nothing happens, just go back and tell your master, I will send troops immediately."
The envoy bowed, folded his right hand in front of his chest, performed a Mongolian salute, and then said: "My master asked me to tell you something, soldiers are valuable and quick, so please do it as soon as possible."
Sai Sang had no doubts about the envoy's repeated urging to send troops as soon as possible. He also understood the importance of speed in sending troops. If the troops were sent out too late, if the Jurchen scouts lost track of the Ming army, they would be blinded again.
As soon as the Jurchen envoy left the tent, Saisang immediately ordered his sons to come to see him.
It didn't take long for his sons to rush over as soon as they heard about the whereabouts of the Ming army.
These days, like Sai Sang, they also want to kill this Ming army.
After arriving at Sai Sang's tent, they all asked Sai Sang to fight, vowing to kill every piece of that abominable Ming army and cut the general into pieces.
Saisang naturally had the same idea. After some discussion, he asked his eldest son Wu Keshan and his second son Chahan to lead their troops to the southwest to intercept the Ming army.
The combined forces of the two men could deal with about 10,000 Ming troops. According to common sense, that was more than enough. Therefore, both of them bid farewell to Sai Sang with confidence, left the yurt, and headed for their army's garrison.
Seeing the princes rushing to and from the sweat tents under the escort of their personal guards, the herdsmen knew that something had happened and started to inquire about the news.
Only one Mongolian girl didn't care about this matter at all. After hearing the sound of horse hooves in the yurt, she was still looking at the letter in her hand.
This Mongolian girl has jade-like skin and a dignified and elegant appearance, which is rare among Mongolians and other ethnic groups. For people who don’t know, at first glance, if it weren’t for the Mongolian dress this girl is wearing,
She must have thought that she had met a Han lady from within the Pass outside the Great Wall.
This person is Sai Sang's eldest daughter, Hai Lanzhu, whose marriage Sai Sang has always been worried about.
Sai Sang didn't see Hai Lanzhu's expression now. If he did, he would be shocked.
At this time, Hai Lanzhu had a girlish expression on her face and was focused on reading the letter in her hand.
This letter was written to her by her sister, Bumbutai, who had long been married to King Huangtaiji of the Great Jin Khan.
Bumbutai gave her an idea in the letter, asking Hailanzhu to encourage his mother to go to the Kingdom of Jin to visit her daughter, and take her to see her sister. In this way, she would be able to see Huang Taiji and have a chance.
Let Huang Taiji see her.
Hai Lanzhu originally looked down on Huang Taiji. He felt that Huang Taiji was not only a bit old, but also a fat man. The key point was that Huang Taiji was just the leader of a tribe in the Northeast.
In Hai Lanzhu's heart, her husband must be a hero like his ancestor Genghis Khan.
She has been waiting hard for her girlish dream, hoping that one day the hero will appear in front of her riding a colorful cloud.
For this reason, she forced her to die and refused her father's request to marry her to the fat man. She just kept waiting for the hero in her heart to appear, from a young girl to an old girl.
No matter in the eyes of the Mongolians or other ethnic groups, including the Han people, she is an old girl at the age of twenty-two.
Hai Lanzhu's girlish dream was slowly shattered, and she herself lowered the standard of the hero again and again, but she still couldn't find a hero who could meet her requirements.
On the other hand, her sister Bumbutai often told her about Huang Taiji, the Great Khan of the Jin Kingdom, in her correspondence, and her words revealed her admiration for Huang Taiji.
At first, Hai Lanzhu thought that her sister was young on one hand and boastful on the other, praising Huang Taiji to the heavens.
But later, more and more things about Huang Taiji became known to her. After Huang Taiji became the Great Khan of the Jin Kingdom, he changed the approach of their forefather Nurhachi, allied with Mongolia, and conquered North Korea, allowing the Jin Kingdom to concentrate on dealing with
The behemoth in front of them was the Ming Dynasty.
In particular, Hai Lanzhu knew about Huang Taiji's recent deeds. He actually invaded the capital of the Ming Dynasty and was running around and recruiting troops near the capital of the Ming Dynasty. He was invincible.
When Hai Lanzhu thought of the fat man sitting on a horse, commanding thousands of troops, and his invincible heroic appearance, it seemed as if the figure of Genghis Khan and the body of Huang Taiji were slowly overlapping.
Suddenly, Hai Lanzhu discovered that Huang Taiji was the hero she had been waiting for.
After discovering this, Hai Lanzhu regretted it. She had refused to marry Huang Taiji. It would be too embarrassing to propose to marry Huang Taiji now.
But the figure of the fat man always existed in Hai Lanzhu's heart. At this time, in Hai Lanzhu's heart, Huang Taiji was both fat and handsome. Anyway, he liked him no matter what he thought.
In desperation, Hai Lanzhu revealed her girlish feelings to her sister.
Bumubutai also had troubles at this time, and her life in Liaodong was not very satisfactory.
Although she was ranked second in Huang Taiji's harem, the key point was that she was unhappy. The queen in the main palace was higher than her in status, and then she was her aunt, who was also higher than her in seniority.
When something happened, she was scolded by Zhezhe, and she had no room to fight back. Bumbutai was far from the maturity of later generations, and still had the temper of a little girl, so he was quite dissatisfied with her current situation.
Now she saw her sister's thoughts in Hai Lanzhu's letter, and Bumu Butai was overjoyed. As soon as her sister got married, the two of them could unite to deal with her aunt.
As for whether Hailanzhu would pose a threat to himself after marrying him, Bumubutai never thought about it. Is it possible that a mother who was born to her would not be able to outweigh an old girl with her own youthful capital?
Based on this plan, Bumbutai devoted herself to the marriage between her sister and her husband Huang Taiji. While revealing some things about Hai Lanzhu in front of Huang Taiji from time to time, she kept praising her sister, saying that it was a bright pearl on the grassland.
The grassland people are proud of their existence. At the same time, Hai Lanzhu thought of various ways to get close to Huang Taiji so that Huang Taiji could bring up the marriage again.
Otherwise, if Hai Lanzhu tells Huang Taiji, I didn’t like you before, but now I like you and want to marry you. Those who know know that Hai Lanzhu is telling the truth, while those who don’t know think that Hai Lanzhu is
I really can't get married anymore, so I'm here to get married.
This is probably intolerable to the mighty Great Khan. Is Huang Taiji just a weed on the ground that you can eat if you want?
Hai Lanzhu turned the letters in his hand left and right, feeling a little tangled in his heart. Finally, he made up his mind, packed up the letters and put them in a good place. As soon as he lifted the curtain of the yurt, he was ready to go to his father, ready to risk this piece of paper.
Face, tell your father what you think first.
Because only with the consent of the father, the queen could go to the Kingdom of Jin.
After she got out of the yurt, she noticed soldiers and horses mobilizing in the distance, roaring toward the southwest.
Only then did Hai Lanzhu become concerned about the matter in front of her. She asked her maid to ask, and then she understood the reason for the mobilization of troops and horses.
In her heart, she couldn't help but admire the hero in her heart, Huang Taiji.
His father Khan sent people to search all over the grassland but could not find the whereabouts of the Ming army. However, not long after the people sent by Huang Taiji arrived in the grassland, they found the whereabouts of the Ming army. It is true that a strong general has no weak soldiers.
Now that everything was proving Huang Taiji's tallness, wisdom and prowess, Hai Lanzhu's shyness about explaining the situation to his father suddenly disappeared.
She must marry Huang Taiji, Hai Lanzhu vowed secretly in her heart.
She never thought that because of the instructions from her hero, the Jurchens were implementing a conspiracy against her tribe.
