After hearing this, Erqiltu Khan said with a little urgency: "In that case, when will you come back? I will go with you. I want to hear what they say?"
When Dulbert Khan heard this, he couldn't help but have a trace of hesitation on his face, which seemed to be a little entangled.
Eqirtu Khan was a little puzzled when he saw it, so he said to him: "Why, is it inconvenient to meet? Or is there any problem?"
Dulbert Khan was actually fighting in his heart just now. He had two thoughts: one was to tell the truth, and the other was to take another one back as a gift.
However, after weighing it, he finally made a choice and immediately replied to Eqirtu Khan: "The Ming army has arrived in my tribe, and I have dedicated Zhasak Tuhan and Tushetu Khan to the Ming army. You still have
Do you need to go?"
"..." When Eqirtu Khan heard this, he was a little shocked and looked at Dulbert Khan. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
On the other hand, Dulbert Khan himself, after smiling slightly, took the initiative to say to him: "To tell you the truth, the reason why I risked my life to come to see you and persuade you to submit to the Ming Dynasty is because if you submit to the Ming Dynasty, you will
My contribution will make me feel more comfortable in the capital of the Ming Dynasty when the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty rewards me for my merits. Otherwise, why should I bother?"
Hearing his words, Oqiltu Khan was speechless again. Isn't this too direct?
Thinking like this, he came back to his senses and said with a serious face: "Aren't you afraid that I will catch you and not let you go back?"
When Dulbert Khan heard this, he didn't panic at all. He looked at Erqirtu Khan with eyes that seemed to be able to see through his heart. At the same time, he said to him: "I advise you to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. I have merit. You
There are also advantages; now that the world has changed, and even Emperor Hongwu has appeared, who else do you think can stop the expansion of the Ming Dynasty? No matter what angle you think about it, in addition to clinging to the name Heshuotebu, you can
What’s the benefit?”
After a pause, and before he could speak, Dulbert Khan continued: "Besides, even if the Heshuote Department does not have your branch, wouldn't there still be one on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau? I believe you are a smart man,
I have made it so clear, and you should be able to make the decision that is best for you."
After hearing this, Oqiltu Khan lowered his head and did not answer immediately.
When Dulbert Khan saw him, he didn't rush him and went to drink his mare's milk tea again. Judging from his expression, he was leisurely and seemed to be very sure about the final choice of the Heshuo Special Department.
After a while, Oqiltu Khan raised his head, looked at him, and asked with a little hesitation: "What about the Zhungeer tribe?"
The Torgut Tribe is too far away, so of course we won't consider it; however, the Zhungeer Tribe is not far from the Heshuote Tribe, just southwest of it.
After hearing this, Dulbert Khan stopped smiling, his face became serious, he shook his head and said: "The strength of the Zhungeer tribe is the most powerful among our Washi tribe, and it is on the rise. I guess it is difficult to accept it.
It’s the way to submit to the Ming Dynasty; you won’t change your mind until you get a bloody blow.”
Hearing this, Oqiltu Khan couldn't help but feel a little sad.
The implication of Dulbert Khan's words is actually that Heshuote is weak!
I think back then, the Heshuote Tribe was the most powerful among all the tribes in Waci!
Oqiltu Khan's face looked a little ugly, he lowered his head and fell silent again. It was obvious that he was a little sad.
When Dulbert Khan saw it, he comforted him: "It doesn't matter if you surrender to the Ming Dynasty. You can choose glory and wealth, or you can choose civil servants and military officers. Anyway, you will have a future. Although the Heshuo Special Department will no longer exist, your
But the family can continue. Even as the Ming Dynasty becomes stronger, your family may be more glorious than before!"
Hearing this, Oqiltu Khan couldn't help but smile bitterly, then took a deep breath, became a little more decisive, and said to Dulbert Khan: "Okay, I'll send someone to go back with you to take a look first.
If it is really as you said, then I will submit to the Ming Dynasty... just submit to the Ming Dynasty!"
He had to admit that what Dulbert Khan said made sense, and that was all he could do.
Hearing this, Dulbert Khan smiled, feeling that it was worth the risk he took to come and persuade.
However, after thinking about it for a moment, he reminded Erqil Tuhan: "The Zhungeer tribe definitely doesn't want you to submit to the Ming Dynasty. If I guessed correctly, they will probably unite as many tribes as possible to fight the Ming army.
Therefore, you must not reveal to the Zhungeer tribe that you want to submit to the Ming Dynasty. By the way, be especially careful with the people in your tribe and inform the Zhungeer tribe!"
After hearing this, Eqirtu Khan felt a little harsh for some reason, and immediately said unhappily: "I haven't finally decided to submit to the Ming Dynasty yet!"
After he finished speaking, he saw the silent smile on Dulbert Khan's face, so he had no choice but to continue: "Don't worry, I will definitely pay attention."
Afterwards, Oziltu Khan issued an order, summoned his confidants, explained the situation, and left with Dulbert Khan the next day.
After sending them away, Oqiltu Khan sat in his royal tent, thinking about the events of the past two days and feeling a little worried.
That old and cunning Dulbert Khan, he has recovered. Not only did he dedicate Zasaktu Khan and Tushetu Khan to the Ming Dynasty, but he also persuaded himself to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. This achievement of surrendering to the Ming Dynasty is really...
Then why didn't Zasak Tuhan and Tushetu Khan come to join him first?
If you really surrender to the Ming Dynasty, if you don't make more contributions, your status with the Ming Dynasty will be a bit low!
Thinking of this, Oqiltu Khan couldn't help but make an idea to the Jungar tribe. However, in the end, he remembered Dulbert Khan's warning, thought about it, and gave up the idea.
………………
About a month later, the confidants sent by Eqiltu Khan returned and truthfully reported to him what they had seen. They also reminded Eqiltu Khan: "Great Khan, those Ming troops are indeed elite, no matter what they are.
The equipment is still weapons and weapons, which are much better than those of Tsarist Russia."
"The generals leading the troops were named Gao Yigong and Tian Jianxiu. They were originally rebels in the pass and were recruited. They all said that after Emperor Taizu appeared, earth-shaking changes took place in the Ming Dynasty."
"There are also some Mongolians from the three tribes in Mobei among the Ming army. After asking them, all their tribesmen were arranged in Guihua City and the pass, and based on the merits of the Battle of Mobei..."
After listening to the reports from his cronies, Oqiltu Khan combined with what Dulbert Khan said, he decided in his heart that he should surrender to the Ming Dynasty before the Ming army marched westward, and at least he could gain a certain status.
It's a pity that Dulbert Khan has extra credit, but Oqiltu Khan himself has no credit!
Regretful, he began to make secret preparations to ensure that when he took the Heshuote tribe to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, he would not be discovered by the Zhungeer tribe.
Time has arrived in March of the 20th year of Chongzhen in the blink of an eye. Everything on the grassland has revived, and it is time to travel.
Oqiltu Khan prepared carefully, and after everything was packed, he planned to head east on the pretext of moving the pasture.
Just as he was preparing to leave, his subordinates suddenly came to report: "Great Khan, an envoy from the Qing Dynasty has come to see you."
Oqiltu Khan was a little surprised when he heard this, because he remembered that the envoys from the Qing Dynasty had been coordinating the joint dispatch of troops to the Ming Dynasty by the Khalkha tribe and Tsarist Russia. Before the snowfall last year, they should have left Wasi.
, went to Tsarist Russia again.
Returning at this time? This seems a bit impossible!
Perhaps seeing his doubts, his men quickly reported: "It's not the previous envoy from the Qing Dynasty, but the new envoy from the Qing Dynasty who came from Liaodong!"
Hearing this, Oqiltu Khan couldn't help but suddenly realized that this was right!
However, he immediately thought that if he arrived at the Heshuote Department at this time, these envoys from the Qing Dynasty must have set off in the wind and snow. It seemed that this journey must be more difficult!
Thinking this way, Oqiltu Khan was very happy. After ordering his men, he immediately invited the envoys of the Qing Dynasty to meet him.
In the king's tent, the envoy from the Qing Dynasty who had just entered introduced himself. The chief envoy was Ying Erdai, a diplomat and financial expert in Jianlu; his deputy was Fan Wencheng.
After the two people explained their identities, Ying Erdai immediately said seriously: "Great Khan, when we came over, we found traces of the Ming army on the Dulbert Department. But we didn't dare to get close because we didn't know what was going on.
What's going on? Please come and see what's going on, Great Khan?"
After hearing this, Erqirtu Khan immediately said with a smile: "It's okay, I know everything about that over there, don't worry."
Ying'erdai and Fan Wencheng were both a little surprised when they heard this. After looking at each other, Ying'erdai asked doubtfully: "So, the Great Khan is prepared. We looked at it and it seemed
Dulbert's tribe has been captured by the Ming army, so the Great Khan and Junger's tribe need to be careful."
Fan Wencheng was on the side and also reminded: "The Great Khan had better be careful. The combat power of the Ming army is not what it used to be. If you are careless, you may be in danger."
After hearing this, Erqiltu Khan still said with a smile: "There will definitely be no problem with the Ming army. It's just that we need two people to help us!"
"What help can you do?" After hearing this, Ying Erdai immediately remembered the countless instructions from the regent before, and hurriedly patted her chest and said, "As long as I can do it, even if you say so, I will never say anything!"
Fan Wencheng, who was standing next to him, also showed a "no hesitation" expression after hearing this, and then said: "The Qing Dynasty and Wasi are from the same family, so the Great Khan doesn't need to be exposed to outsiders, even if it's true!"
After hearing this, Oqiltu Khan couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart: You are obviously a Han, but you act like a dog. It's just right. Let the Ming deal with you later.
