Chapter 1241 The decision to cut off the second son

"Aha (Mongolian: brother), something big has happened." A strong-aged man dressed as a Mongolian noble slammed open the tent and rushed in like the wind.

A Mongolian nobleman who was drinking in the big tent raised his head slightly, and said a little reproachfully: "Chukuke, after reading the Buddhist scriptures for so many years, why haven't you cultivated a more stable temper?"

Chukuke, whose full name is Sitatai Chukuke, is the second son of Quejin Huangtaiji, so there is no need to say much about the one in front of him, who is the eldest son of Qijin, Erzhei Yilduchi.

As if he had never heard of it, Chukuke raised his left and right hands at the same time and said, "Which letter do you read first from Chechen Khan and the Ming Dynasty Taishi Gao's pragmatic letter?" The fact that border ministers with real power have the habit of being called "Tai Shi" does not mean that they are really the Ming Dynasty's Tai Shi.)
Ilduqi's pupils shrank slightly, but his face was still calm, and he said lightly: "I am a Mongolian, so naturally I will read Chechen Khan's letter first." Then he stretched out a hand towards Chukuke.

Chukuke didn't have any special reaction, he simply took two steps forward, handed out a letter and put it in his Aha's hand.

Ilduqi took the letter, and before opening it, he paused slightly and frowned, "Have you read it?"

"Of course I did, or how can I say something big?" Chukuke replied unconsciously.

Ilduqi rolled his eyes and snorted softly, "Han people say that men stand in their thirties, but you are a little foal."

Chukukel pretended to sigh: "I just read a letter, isn't it illegal?"

Ilduqi didn't bother to talk about it anymore, his younger brother didn't treat himself like an outsider since he was a child, but fortunately he was really convinced of his own Aha, and even his own subjects could be handed over to Aha to take care of him, so Il Du Qi was also lenient towards him.

Ilduqi didn't even greet Chukuke to sit down, he just took out the letter, and as soon as he glanced at it, his brows furrowed deeply.But he read it once and read it again seriously, as if to confirm something.

After finally reading it, he gently put the letter aside, pressed his right hand on it, and moved his five fingers rhythmically and quickly on it, as if he was thinking.

Chukuke couldn't hold his breath, scratched his head, and said, "Aha, are we sweating profusely? Shouldn't he really come to beat us and deprive us of our pasture?"

Ilduqi didn't look up at him, as if he was still thinking deeply, he just asked casually, "What do you think?"

"I think it's possible!" Chukuke stomped his foot: "If I have [-] cavalry, and then who would dare not listen to me, then I won't make him scream?"

This was very childish, but Ilduzzi seemed moved by his words, looked up at him, and asked, "Who doesn't listen to him?"

Chukuke was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Bo... er, I mean Jinong, and us."

Yilu all laughed: "Jinong will not talk about it, when will we not listen to the words of the Khan?"

Chukuke widened his eyes and said: "Abu (father) said many years ago that we should help the Great Khan watch Jinong, and let him not do stupid things that offend Ming, but now Jinong is running to meet Ming. The war has started, and we are still sitting here waiting, isn’t that just disobedient? If I was sweating profusely, I’m afraid the army would have entered Yijin Holo long ago!”

Ilduqi grinned and said, "If the big Khan is as reckless as you, he can sit in that position for three years at most." After a pause, he said to the somewhat dissatisfied Chukuke: " Don't look at some people who talk about the Great Khan in private at every turn, saying that he only got what he is today with the help of Taishi Gao, Zhong Jinhatun and Tuotuo. These people are all superficial. What do they know? Khan is smart, he's just good at pretending to be stupid."

"Really?" Chukuke asked suspiciously, "But he really doesn't have any skills?"

"Haha, you said that the Great Khan has no ability?" Il Duqi laughed three times: "If he has no ability, how can he easily defeat the Great Khan of Tumen without much loss?"

"That's because Grand Master Gao is planning that... what a big account, and then there is the invincible martial arts!"

"I don't deny these two points, but if it were someone else, would Taishi Gao help? Is Tuotuo willing to obey? I don't know. He thought that Han Naji was neither the eldest son nor the eldest grandson, so why should he have him? To be a big sweat? Why should Zhong Jinhatun marry him?"

Chukuke obviously hadn't thought about this question, and he said in amazement, "Uh, maybe it's because he and Grand Master Gao are An Answer?"

Ilduqi shook his head helplessly at him, and said: "Forget it, I want to explain this to you, I'm afraid I have to wait for the river to run dry, let's get down to business - what the Khan said in the letter , do you believe it? How much do you believe?"

Chukuke said in surprise: "Of course I believe it, my subordinates are not obedient, why don't we have to send troops to fight, or what kind of majesty?"

Ilduqi shook his head and said: "How can there be such a simple thing? The Great Khan can indeed lead his [-] army to the south to attack, and now Jinong is not only not in Yijinhuoluo, but even not with us. This kind of Under the circumstances, it is almost impossible for Ordos to win, but this does not mean that the Great Khan can really say that he will go south - the Great Khan of Tumen is still staring at him behind him, if he leaves, Don't you want Fengzhou Beach?"

Chukuke was stunned for a moment: "Aha, you said this...then you have to see what Master Gao said first." After speaking, he handed another letter to Yilduqi.

Ilduqi took it over, took out the letter and looked at it. Before reading the text, he smiled and said, "If you want to say that this word is well-written, it is better that of Grand Master Gao."

Que is a scholar of Mongolians, and author of "Ten Good Fortunes and White History", so all his sons have read books, and not only learn Mongolian culture, Buddhist culture, but also Han culture, Ildu Qi has a complete say in how to distinguish between good and bad Chinese characters.

In fact, it can be said that there are many talents in the original history. For example, the eldest grandson of Ilduqi was a famous Mongolian university enquirer, and even wrote "The Origin of Mongolia", which can be said to be the most important Mongolian masterpiece in later generations. , the origin of his family's family education is not worse than that of Xinzheng Gao's family in Daming.

Chukuke was stunned, he had also learned Chinese, and he nodded immediately after hearing the words: "Exactly, Master Gao is the most powerful champion in the Ming Kingdom, this word is so well written, I just read it while I was reading it. , and I followed the gestures for a while - Aha, after you read the letter later, why don't you give it to me, I can take it back and copy it, and then I will practice the calligraphy and copy a few scrolls of scriptures to Abu Look, Abu must be very happy."

Ilduzzi originally planned to refuse, but upon hearing the last sentence, a trace of sadness appeared on his face, he nodded solemnly, and then ignored Chukuke and looked at the letter seriously.

I don't know if it's a more euphemistic word for high and pragmatic credit, but Yilu Duqi has always looked as usual, only occasionally shaking his eyebrows twice, and then he is calm as water.

After he finished reading the letter, he returned to the way he was thinking before, thinking and asking, "Chukukele, what do you think of the conditions that Mrs. Gao opened?"

"I think it's pretty good, it's quite reasonable." Chukuke smiled and said, "Everyone says that Taishi Gao is a very rich man, but I think it's true. Do you see how generous Taishi Gao is? For a big deal, you are willing to increase the price by [-]%, and the warhorse even increase by [-]%. Where can you find such a good thing? Ah, don't you think so?"

Ilduqi said indifferently: "Is this reasonable?"

Chukukele looked surprised and asked, "Isn't this reasonable? It seems that the cattle, sheep and horses bought by Ming people in Xuan Dabian Market are not worth this price. I think it's too reasonable!"

"Hehe, then you also have to see what he asks us to do." Ilduqi shook his head slightly.

"Isn't it just to let Jinong... ah, let this boy Boshuoktu come back quickly, don't you make a fuss? Abu originally had this idea, if it wasn't for Aha, you suppressed Abu's order and refused to announce it, we are now I'm afraid it's time to send troops to arrest people."

Ilduqi narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Do you think I did something wrong?"

"I think... I can't say it wrong, otherwise we might not be able to get this deal, and Grand Master Gao also said that our family's official position can be mentioned, I think this is not bad, lest our brothers still pay With a group of wine bags and rice bags for company."

Chukuke said, and said with some worry: "But I'm sorry Abu for doing this! After he fell ill, he handed over [-] strings to Aha and me, and let's get Boshuoketu earlier. That kid forced him back, and even told us that he could go to Taigale Zhungenhatun and ask for an order, so that Eji (mother) would discipline the child, and it was not counted as a crime. But we, not only did not go, but also sent People lied to Abu saying that he had gone out to gather his followers... This is not what a good son should do."

"Young eagles can't always stay in the nest and wait for their parents to feed them, they always have to soar into the sky by themselves." Ildu said with a sullen face, "Abu's condition is already... This is the case, if we still just obey Abu honestly. If Abu is gone, who will take care of us? Therefore, for the long-term, we must be bold and careful this time, not only to ensure our status and wealth, but also to improve our status as much as possible. Further...you know what I mean?"

"Of course I understand, otherwise why would I obey your orders, Aha?" Chukuke scratched his head and said, "But I think this is the only way to do this. The [-] iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty and the army of one million of the Ming Dynasty will not be polite to us, and then the chicken will not be lost."

Ildu thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It's not unreasonable what you said, but I always feel that the threat in Master Gao's letter is a little... difficult to determine."

"What's so hard to determine?" Chukuke's eyes widened: "Aha, you still don't know the strength of Jinghua Trading Company? Not to mention that we have long known that Jinghua has many other things besides Jinghua Trading Company. Yes... Taishi Gao said that he had put [-] servants in the front line of Jiliao. After the change in Tumen, he would cooperate with more than [-] troops in the two towns of Jiliao to sweep Chahar. I think this is completely possible. . Even in terms of his financial resources, [-] is not much at all, and I even suspect that he has deployed troops elsewhere..."

When Ilduqi heard the last sentence, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "What did you say?"

Chukuke was stunned for a moment and repeated: "I even suspect that he has deployed troops elsewhere..." Then he was stunned, and suddenly widened his eyes: "Oops, could it be that he also deployed troops to deal with it? Are we breaking the order?"

"It's very possible!" Yilu Duqi suddenly slapped the table and said: "The manager of Jinghua Business Company, Cao Da, went to Qinghai before, and then went to Lanzhou, and then suddenly there is no news. Our detailed work said, The three thousand Jinghua knights he led at the time also disappeared - Chukuke, where do you think this team went?"

Chukuke sucked in a breath of cold air and asked in surprise, "Come to our pasture quietly?" But as he spoke, he frowned again: "But that's not right, although Jinghua's knights are powerful in firearms, Cao Da After all, the shopkeeper only has three thousand in his hands, so if you come to our pasture, you won’t be able to please.”

Yil Duqi shook his head and said: "He only brought 3000 people to Yongchangwei because he thought that the batch of gunpowder was just stolen. Such words were probably done by some disobedient small tribes. He took [-] horsemen Ding can completely wipe out such a small tribe - Jinghua has done a lot of this kind of thing.

But if he came to Hetao to trouble us on the orders of Grand Master Gao, how could he only bring so many people?Because the Great Khan and Grand Master Gao have a very good relationship, Jinghua no longer needs to deploy many troops in the direction of Xuanda these years, and the focus has shifted to the three sides of Liaodong and Shaanxi, so even if the treasurer Cao has transferred [-] or even [-] knights Come here, I don't think it can't be done. "

Chukuke's face changed greatly, and he said hurriedly: "Then what should I do? Could this letter from Taishi Gao be... what is it? It's the one who stabilized us first..."

"Build the plank road in the Ming Dynasty, and cross the Chencang in the dark." Yilu said coldly.

"Ah yes, that's it!" Chukuke hurriedly said, "Could that be the case?"

Ilduqi didn't answer immediately, but thought for a while, and when Chukuke was so anxious that his forehead sweated, he shook his head and said, "Maybe it's possible, but I'm sure, within a day or two. , even if the treasurer Cao is in the vicinity, he will definitely continue to stand still, unless..."

"Unless what?"

Ilduqi Senran said: "Unless we stay still, or we don't go southwest in the direction they want to see, then they will do it."

The southwest direction of Yijinhuoluo is Ningxia.

Chukuke sighed again and shouted like a toothache: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and send troops to bring back the little bastard Boshuoktu! It doesn't matter if he kills himself, will he kill us? Although Cao Cao Even if the big shopkeeper brought [-] knights to find us, we may not be afraid, but it is not only too uneconomical to fight this battle, and once it starts, how can we hide it from Abu? If you're angry, what should we do?"

Ilduqi took a deep breath and nodded vigorously: "Yes, this time you are right, this matter cannot be delayed any longer. Master Gao's methods are very powerful, Abu has analyzed it for us many times, even He all said that Grand Master Gao was a great hero who never came out of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that Grand Master Gao is willing to repair the plank road, then we have to hurry up and get off the donkey, and things can be salvaged.Besides, since Grand Master Gao has agreed, he will definitely not break his word because of his status, and my previous plans are not without results... I'd better accept it when I see it. "

"Yes, yes, I'll take it as soon as I see it, I'll take it when I see it...Aha, then I'll mobilize my followers to prepare to go to Ningxia?"

Ilduqi shook his head and stood up slowly: "You stay and take care of Abu, this battle in Ningxia, you have to let me fight, otherwise I'm afraid there will be other troubles in the future."
