Seiwa

The Ming Dynasty during the Yongle period was so powerful that the neighbors could not even sleep well.

The Annan Hu clan was self-righteous, so it was wiped out.

Ben Yashili and Alutai dreamed of the scenery of the former Yuan Dynasty, but they didn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, so they were pushed to the ground and kicked in groups, becoming bereaved dogs.

Oala's strength is not as good as that of Tatar, but he is obviously more aware of current affairs than Tatar.When they crossed the border, they did not come to find faults, nor did they come to pick up leaks, but to give gifts to the Ming army.

When Benya fled for his life, he panicked and broke into the territory of Wala. Unfortunately, it was the headquarters of Chuoros who met Mahamu who was about to submit a certificate to the Ming Dynasty.

What is this called?

Heaven has a way, you don't go, hell has no way to break in.

Mahamu has always been angry with the Tatars, and Benya accidentally robbed caravans several times, needless to say, he took out his knife and used it as an excuse.

Benya lost his face and fantasized about making friends with Mahamu and borrowing a tent to hide.For this reason, he is willing to send all the gold and silver that he brought with him when he escaped for his life, and only waits until he escapes this catastrophe, and finds an opportunity to make a comeback and regain the lost territory.

It's a pity that no matter how nice the words are, they can't impress Mahamu, who is determined to kill.

With a flash of the knife, all the beautiful fantasies were in vain.

The head rolled to the ground, and there was disbelief in his wide eyes.

"It's delivered to your door, which saves time!"

It was Mahamu's brother, Taiping, the leader of Kelieyiti, who did the work.

Taiping swung the long knife twice, wiping the blood on Benya's lost leather robe.If it weren't for the few drops of blood splashed on his face, it would be impossible to tell that he just killed someone.

The Tatar cavalry who guarded Benya and fled for his life, there were only more than 800 people left at this time.The commander who followed Benya into the big tent was beheaded, and the eight hundred cavalry were leaderless, and soon fell under the sabers of the Oirats.

After killing someone and venting his anger, the next step is how to ask for a reward from the Ming Dynasty.

"A perfect bald head is worth at least a few hundred taels of gold, right?"

Putting the knife back into its sheath, Taiping raised his wine bag and drank two big gulps, "Daning's wine is indeed strong! Khan, when are you going to the capital of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Don't go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming army will definitely chase after Wan Zhebald, follow his escape route to meet him, and hand over his head to the commander of the army."

Mahamu has just passed his forties, is physically strong, and as ambitious as Alutai.But he was smarter than Alutai, and never showed this ambition in front of the stage.

"Ah?" Taiping was puzzled, "Shouldn't you go directly to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and ask for rewards in person?"

"You can't do this." Mahamu took a sip of the hookah, "Don't ask too many questions, just do as I say. At that time, there will definitely be a lot of rewards."

"Can……"

Taiping still didn't understand, Mahamu was helpless, knowing that if he didn't explain clearly, this brother would definitely go into the wrong place.

"Don't forget, the Ming Dynasty regarded Tatar as a thorn in its side, and it may not be able to indulge Wala for long."

"What does Khan mean?"

"The Northern Yuan Dynasty no longer exists. Wuliangha has completely surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. After this battle, it will be difficult for the Tatars to regain their former glory. Wala is too ostentatious, what will happen?"

Taiping stopped talking.

The big and small leaders in the tent were also silent.

"Hide your strengths and bide your time, and show others to be weak. This is learned from the Han people." Mahamu sat cross-legged, his gaze like a falcon sent chills down his spine, "Changshengtian will never abandon his people. One day , the power and wealth will be in the hands of Wala! Before that, even if it is pretending, you must pretend to be obedient to the Ming Dynasty. Don’t learn from Benya and lose your face, that will only lead to death. Alutai is smart, but it is a pity that he supported A fool."

The conversation in the big tent ended quickly, and Mahamu persuaded Taiping and other leaders, and no one raised any objections to his decision.

On that day, Taiping personally led hundreds of Vala warriors, crossed the border, and entered the territory of Tatar with the lost head of Benya.

Originally, Taiping was going to Xu Huizu's Chinese army.I don't want to meet the forward who explored the road halfway.It was still the team led by Meng Qinghe.

Seeing the firearms carried by Shenji Battalion, Taiping's heart skipped a beat. He immediately ordered the whole team to stop and sent people to negotiate.

The strong man of Wala stopped at a place about 100 meters away from the Ming army, got off his horse, and shouted in an unskilled official language: "At the order of Mahamu, the leader of Wara, the king of Shunning, the head of the bald king of the Tatar puppet Khan is specially enshrined. superior."

After shouting three times in a row, Meng Qinghe finally understood what he meant.She raised her eyebrows, "Qilegai."

"Humble."

"Take a few people there to find out the truth. Be careful, and come back immediately if you find something wrong."

"Humble and obedient!" Qiregai pulled the rein and shouted back, "Tara, Amu, come with me!"

As soon as the words fell, two strong men who looked like iron towers galloped out of the team.

The Shieldman parted from it, making a passage.

Qi Liegai led, followed by Tala Amu, and the three rode out at a gallop.The bows and crossbows on his back and the clusters of arrows on his horses all reflected cold light.

The strong Wala didn't move, nor did he show any timidity.

The Oirat cavalry behind him drew their longbows at the same time and aimed at the shieldmen of the Ming army.As long as there is anything wrong with the situation, a fight is inevitable.

"I am under the command of the Heavenly Army, and the commander of Taining Weidu is Qi Liegai."

Qi Lie reported his identity and name, and negotiated with him.

The Oirat strong man instantly recognized Qiregai's identity, Uliangha.

It seems that this Ming army team is not simple.

Not to mention Wu Liangha, who was valued by Daming, the number of firearms in the team alone far exceeded expectations.

In the early years, Wala often went to the border of the Ming Dynasty to thresh grain and grass.Ningxia and other places in Gansu have almost become the granaries of the Wara people.It wasn't until Emperor Hongwu entrusted the princes, and Zhu Quan, who liked to be shirtless, and Zhu Di, who liked to burn tents, sat in northern Xinjiang, and the balance of strength between the two sides slowly began to tilt.

Except for a few vassal kings in Northern Xinjiang, all of them are not easy to mess with.

When Meng Qinghe first joined the army, he happened to meet the joint military exercises of the vassal kings.

The frontier soldiers shouted and killed on the border, and their roars shook the sky, not only frightened Emperor Jianwen in Nanjing, but also made the neighbors on the grassland tremble for a long time.

Tatar Wala has always been the confidant of Emperor Yongle.When the army rebelled, Zhu Di never forgot to leave thousands of troops to guard the frontier.

It can be seen from this that if Zhu Di is in power for one day, the life of Tatar Wala will not be easy.Of course, with the flapping of butterfly wings, history is constantly changing. If Zhu Di's heir takes over, the lives of neighbors in the Ming Dynasty may not be much easier.

Negotiations between Kileggai and the Oirat strongman went very smoothly.The only problem was that it wasn't immediately clear whether the head in the box was actually Benjashili himself.

"Uncle, I can't say for sure that the humble one is bald and has never seen it done."

Qi Liegai was very entangled, as if there was a carrot hanging in front of his eyes, but he couldn't bite it when he opened his mouth.

"No hurry." Meng Qinghe said with a smile, "I have sent people to fly to report to Duke Ding, but we can leave them behind and set up camp on the spot, and we will make further calculations when Duke Ding arrives."

"Yes!"

Qilegai was ordered to negotiate with the Oirats again, and this time the two sides seemed to have disagreements.The Wala people are not fools, what if the Ming army took the opportunity to clean them up?

In the end, a strong man of about thirty came out of the Oirat cavalry, and the master agreed to Meng Qinghe's proposal, and Qi Liegai completed the task.

It can be seen that the identity of this strong man is very unusual, and the gold and gems inlaid on the saber alone are not usable by ordinary people.This person must be the leader of the tribe, but he doesn't know the size of the tribe and how he has the right to speak in King Oara's tent.

"My name is Taiping, and I am the leader of the Warakhlieyiti Tribe, who was conferred the title of King of Virtue and Justice by the Son of Heaven.

Seeing Meng Qinghe, Taiping was very surprised.He never expected that it was such a person who gave orders to this Ming army.

Wearing armor still looks thin, and the wind on the grassland can blow him away.

He doesn't seem to have much physical strength, can he fight?

Looks like it can't even carry a goat.To put it bluntly, the young girls in the tribe were stronger than him.

When Taiping was surprised, Meng Qinghe was also carefully looking at the leader of the Wala tribe in front of him.

Tall and strong, the visual height is at least 1.8 meters, almost 1.9 meters, a little taller than the Duke.

The complexion is close to bronze, the facial features are deep, and the eyebrows are so thick that they almost meet together.The eyes are gray-blue, and the fur hat is taken off. Under the sun, the hair is close to dark brown.According to the standards of later generations, he is definitely worthy of a five-star macho handsome guy.

Meng Qinghe can be sure that Taiping is by no means a native Mongolian, in addition to the Central Asian people, maybe he also has Europa blood mixed in.

Back then, the Yuan Dynasty army marched across the Eurasian continent, and the Ming Dynasty frontier guards also had Russian descendants. It was not surprising to see a Wala leader with Europa blood.

However, how should I greet this person?

Nice to meet you?

Make a fist and beat your shoulder?

After much consideration, Uncle Meng still chose the most regular method, dismounting, clasping fists, and saluting as a soldier.

"My official is the first-class uncle granted by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He is the deputy general of the left army of the conquest army. He is bestowed with the surname of the country, and the first name is clear and the lower one is harmonious."

Qi Liegai had a hard time translating that sentence, but it shocked Taiping instantly.

The first-class uncle of Ming Dynasty, the country's surname?

Is it too tall?

"It turned out to be the surname of the country, sorry!"

The strong man in Wala smiled brightly.

Uncle Meng was blinked.Pulling the corners of your mouth, who said that strong men are stubborn and can't say good things?All the surnames of the country are out!

After a brief exchange of greetings, the Ming army and the Oirat cavalry set up camp at a distance of about 500 meters.

The box containing Ben Ya's missing head was still in the hands of the Oala strong man, because it was uncertain whether it was true or not, Meng Qinghe decided to wait for Shen Xuan to arrive before making a formal handover.

However, according to the attitude of the Iwara people, the possibility of the head being the real master is as high as 90.00%.

Not long after the scouts were dispatched, it will take some time for the Duke of the Kingdom to arrive.

Meng Qinghe simply ordered to bury the pot and make rice, filling his stomach while waiting for someone, without delay.

For many days, except for rest, meals are on horseback.

To be able to suffer is to reach the limit.

He's had enough of stone-like black-faced pancakes.Even if you tear it apart and throw it in hot water to boil it, at least it won't hurt your teeth, let alone scratch your throat with an iron piece.

"Sure enough, it's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal." Meng Qinghe walked to a stove, watched the hot water bubbling, and remembered that there were two pieces of jerky on the horse's back. Wei fetched it, pulled out the dagger from the boot tuck, cut a few times, and threw it into the pot.

"Is there any salt?"

"what?"

Huotoujun was stunned by Uncle Meng's actions and asked twice before he came back to his senses.

"Yes, yes!"

Nodding quickly in agreement, he took out the salt bag and found two handfuls of pepper.

The Bian Jun who went to fetch water from the river grabbed two handfuls of wild onions, and Meng Qinghe also threw them into the pot. This time, he didn't even cut them.After a long while, the aroma from the pot came out, and even Meng Qinghe couldn't help drooling.

In the eyes of some people, pancakes soaked in this pot of soup must be difficult to swallow.For the frontier troops who went deep into the desert, it was better than any delicacies.

Meng Qinghe snatched the wooden spoon from Huotoujun, scooped up a piece of soft boiled pancake, blew it twice and put it into his mouth. He was so hot that he couldn't breathe, but he still grinned.

"It's ready, take the bowls. Today, Ben will fill the fire and serve you the medicinal soup!"

The soldiers suddenly agreed, and even the strong men of Tainingwei joined in the fun.

The familiar scene reminded Meng Qinghe of his days in Kaipingwei.

After years, people are not old, and the memory begins to fade.

Shaking his head, he scooped up a few bowls, and finally handed the wooden spoon to Huotoujun who was waiting aside.If you don't change hands, this one might cry.

"Come on, here you are."

Holding a big bowl, Meng Qinghe squatted beside the horse like a soldier, gulping down.

The soldiers looked at it strangely, but Meng Qinghe didn't care. He waved his hand and said while drinking the soup: "I think back in Kaipingwei, not to mention the meat in the soup, even the hard flour pancakes were counted. Back then The tartars went to Kaipingwei to thresh grain and grass, I was just a general banner, and I led fifty or so brothers to guard the bunker, and I managed to survive, only to eat a meal of meat..."

Meng Qinghe spoke generously, and the soldiers listened interestingly.Days of marching also let the soldiers understand that this uncle has no airs of honor at all.

"Uncle is amazing!"

The soldiers booed, Uncle Meng stood up, handed the bowl to Gao Fu, cleared his throat, and the "man with the horse pole" who had been silent for many years was released again.

Xing Ningbo took the lead, and the soldiers also opened their throats.

The roar drifted away with the wind, and the strong man in Wala was dumbfounded, and his jaw dropped in the sound of "mighty and majestic".

Shen Xuan who rushed over was also startled by the familiar voice of the "man". In his memory, some images that needed to be crushed began to be arranged and reorganized, and appeared again.

Back then, the heroic Grand Duke tripped over his left foot and stumbled over his right foot amidst such a "singing sound", and almost fell down.

With a sharp swing of the whip, the evil spirit around Duke Ding instantly soared.

Meng, who was yelling happily, suddenly felt cold behind his back, his scalp was numb, he turned his head, and looked in the direction where the smoke was rising, and the Duke of the Kingdom in black armor was coming at a gallop.

Uncle Meng touched his neck, and for some reason, he suddenly had a rather bad premonition.

In August of the seventh year of Yongle, another good news came from the conquering army. The Tatar Khan Benya was dead, and his leader was on his way to Beijing.Come together, there is also a team of Oirat envoys composed of more than a hundred people.

Upon receiving the good news, Zhu Di immediately decreed to give 20 taels of gold, 50 taels of silver, 30 ingots of treasure banknotes, and [-] pieces of gauze and silk cloth to the leader of Wala, King Mahamu of Shunning.To the leader of the Wara Kelie Yiti Department, King Taiping of Xianyi, ten taels of gold, thirty taels of silver, three hundred ingots of precious banknotes, and one hundred bolts of silk and silk.He also gave land from Azhilihaizi to the Selenge River to the Oala tribes, allowing him to migrate and graze here in winter and spring.

In order to show "fairness" and smooth over the previous breach of promise, Emperor Yongle swiped a pen and gave the land east of Hulanhushuwen to Wuliangha, where Xu Sanwei grazed.

The rewarded land originally belonged to Tatars, and Zhu Di felt no pressure for the generosity of others.

The battle is over, Ben Yashili, the titular Tatar Khan, has been hacked, and the Tatar Taishi Arutai is missing. Not for future considerations, Zhu Di even wants to take all the Tatar territory into his own hands Here, make your own homestead.

If Cheng Guogong hadn't said it, and Wei Guogong also said that he couldn't do this, because he didn't look good, Zhu Di would 100% do it.But don't start, I'm really greedy.

In the end, it was the five-army governor's office and the six ministries of the northern and southern capitals who came to a joint discussion and came up with a solution. After all, the Tatars were not completely wiped out, and the conditions for occupying the territory were not yet mature. Tatar, by the way, do me a favor.

"Wala presented the head of Benya, and he restrained the Tatars before the war. Wu Liangha charged into the battle for His Majesty, and made great achievements. If you don't reward him with a land of abundant water and grass, he will surely be able to bathe in the Holy Spirit Germany."

Xia Yuanji's words were beautiful, and Zhu Di finally accepted the courtier's suggestion.However, in order to prevent the Oirats from becoming too powerful, Emperor Yongle decided that after the army was reunited, the Tatar Taibao Ma Erhaza, who had been captured and surrendered, would be released back to the grassland and granted the title of Tatar Khan.

"The Tatar Wara are all wolves with ambitions. If the family dominates, it will inevitably regenerate greed and cause disasters on the border. It is a feasible strategy for us to choose the weak to support and make them restrain each other. The emperor's grandfather should be like this."

These words came from Zhu Zhanhe's mouth.

Xia Yuanji was so shocked that he was speechless.He wanted to use the will of the emperor to guide the grandson, but unexpectedly, all the words he had prepared were blocked in his throat.

"The son is smart."

Zhu Zhanhe sat upright, and said modestly: "Xia Shangshu has won the award. Most of these principles are read by Gu from books, and Shaobao once explained them for Gu. Gu has never understood it, but now he suddenly understands it. Gu is still young , many truths, I just have a half-knowledge, and I still rely on Xia Shangshu to teach."

Xia Yuanji looked up at the roof, and once again realized how difficult it is to teach the son of the King of Han.

Thanks to Xia Situ's broad-mindedness and generosity, otherwise, the day Meng Qinghe returned to the court would be the time when Xia Situ came to visit.

for what?

Head to head!

What do you want to teach the son to be like this?Block the teaching path of others? !
