Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 251 Mengjiang Situation ([-])
Gao Mo was surprised: "Han Naji is so... favored?"

"Actually, this kid is generally called Dacheng Taiji. This is his title in Mongolia. Let's pay attention here." Cao Gan "corrected" casually, and then continued: "How should I put it...this guy's father Mother died early, and grandpa and grandma hurt more, which is also human nature. Besides, although Xin Ai Huang Taiji is the eldest son of me, he is at most barely able to lead troops to fight. In other aspects... ...not very good, so his status is not very stable. Compared with Dacheng Taiji, who is loved by Yikehatun, his words are indeed not important, but Gao Tuanzuo, Gao Tuan, you two Don't underestimate Xin Ai because of this, he is the eldest son of I Da after all, and he actually has some prestige in the entire Tumote Department."

Gao Mo thought for a while, but before he could speak, Gao Yu spoke for the first time: "Can he command soldiers?"

Cao Gan nodded and said, "He's in charge of the army, but he doesn't have a lot of people in his headquarters. I'll tell you that this man holds his military power very tightly, and usually doesn't know how to spread the military power too much. Although it is hindered by Mongolian practice, Xin Ai also has His own troops, but their strength is far inferior to what I said. This year he was ordered to attack Jinzhou with a partial division, but he was also quickly repelled. It is said that Jinzhou used the method taught by Qi Zongrong to concentrate A large number of thunderbolt hand cannons—that is what the young master calls grenades, dealt a heavy blow to Xin Ai who was attacking the city."

Gao Yu was trained under Qi Jiguang's command and was instructed by Qi Jiguang himself. He has also read the weapon albums that Gao Yushi handed over to Qi Jiguang. Of course he knows the power of the grenade after Gao Yushi's improvement, but he still has some Frowning, he asked: "Didn't you say that Xin Ai still has a way of fighting? His' has a way', which is to lead cavalry to besiege Jinzhou City?"

Well, the cavalry besieging the city and attacking it is really very skillful. In Gao Yu's opinion, this eldest prince who I answered is a model of righteousness in death.

However, Cao Gan cleared Xin Ai of his charges. Cao Gan said, "It's not that they took the cavalry to besiege Jinzhou...they knew they couldn't take it, because before Xin Ai sent troops, apart from the soldiers and horses of his own army, I would give him less than 1 yuan." People, he was looking for a place to rob near Jinzhou. It seems that he was defeated in a fort. Nearly a hundred people were killed by the grenade. He retreated in a hurry. Even the corpses were left by the frontier army. Qi Zongrong was awarded 80 taels of silver by the Ministry of War for this."

When it comes to the silver reward from the Ministry of War, even Gao Yu is a little bit lip-smacking-he is now under the command of Gao Yushi, and the monthly silver is 60 taels, and this time he went out of the fortress and directly took 200 taels of silver for "travel expenses", and Qi Jiguang, as a dignified one The commander-in-chief of the town is worth 30 taels for the meritorious service of repelling the big prince of Tumote... Fortunately, I, Gao Yu, followed the right person.

At this time, Cao Gan saw that Gao Yu didn't say much, and turned his attention to Gao Mo, who was actually in charge, and asked, "Gao Tuanzuo, haven't you given the specific instructions of the young master?"

Gao Mo frowned and said, "The news you told me seems to be different from what the young master said... But it's okay, let's take a look." He paused, sighed a bit embarrassed, and said: " Actually, it’s not that I don’t want to say it, it’s that the young master is different this time, and the instructions he gave are very vague... He asked us to pay close attention to the recent movements of Han Naji—that is, the Dacheng Taiji you mentioned, and we had better follow up He makes friends, and if possible, we must make him feel that we are very reliable people, and if something happens, he can go with us with confidence."

Cao Gan opened his mouth wide and closed it after a long while. He swallowed hard and asked in disbelief, "An accident happened? And after the accident, Dacheng Taiji should rest assured to go with us?"

He stretched out his hand and stroked his big bald head: "This kid is the most favored among my grandchildren. What can happen to him? Could he still rebel against his grandfather? It's impossible, he's suffered I'm favored and favored, but it's my turn to sit in the position of my answer, and it's not his turn to sit, how could he do this? Have you lost your mind and gone crazy?"

Gao Mo and Gao Yu looked at each other, and then asked: "Shopkeeper Cao, how much do you know about Dacheng Taiji, have you heard that he is going to marry a wife or take a concubine recently? "

"Recently?" Cao Gan frowned, thinking, "As far as I know, Dacheng Taiji got married very early. He got married when he was 12 years old. What's his real name? I, an outsider, have no way of knowing. The Mongols didn’t dare to bark, they only knew that everyone called her Dacheng Biji—Biji was not a name, but a title, roughly equivalent to our Daming’s ‘Madame’.”

Marrying a wife at the age of 12 is of course a wild topic in later generations, and it is even rare in Ming Dynasty, but it is quite common in Mongolia, especially among the Mongolian nobles, so Gao Mo and Gao Yu did not comment on this.On the contrary, after hearing that Dacheng Taiji married his first wife at the age of 12, the two frowned and looked at each other, and finally Gao Mo asked: "He married at the age of 12... How old is he now?"

"Probably seventeen or eighteen years old." Cao Gan obviously didn't inquire about this information clearly, but he has seen this person before, so it's okay to make a visual inspection, and he is confident that the error here will not be too big.

Gao Mo asked again: "Then, I asked Shopkeeper Cao's third lady, how much does Shopkeeper Cao know about her?"

Cao Gan laughed and said, "The one you're talking about, we merchants in Ming Dynasty call her San Niangzi, while the Mongols here call her Zhong Jinhatun."

At this time, Gao Yu interjected rarely, and asked, "I know Hatun. In our Daming, it is roughly equivalent to a princess or something, but what does 'Zhong Jin' mean? Is it her real name?"

"No, no." Cao Gan shook his head again and again: "How can anyone put their real name in front of the title? Even if the Mongols don't understand etiquette, they wouldn't be so vulgar. The meaning of 'Zhong Jin', um... I Think about how to say..."

Gao Mo wondered, "It's just these two words, isn't it very complicated?"

"How should I put this..." Cao Gan touched his bald head, and explained simply: "In Mongolian, Zhong Jin means very, very noble, and it is not just any Mongolian nobleman." You can use 'Zhong Jin' to express your dignity."

Gao Mo was a little confused, and asked, "Then why can she use it? Because she is married to me?"

"Of course not. Otherwise, why isn't Yikehatun called Zhongjinhatun?" When Cao Gan said this, he seemed to have suddenly realized, and suddenly slapped his thigh: "Oh! I remembered, it must be a descendant of the Golden Family , can be called the word 'Zhong Jin'! But... I forgot whether this word can only be used by women."

Gao Mo was taken aback: "Isn't she the granddaughter of I Da? How come her mother's family is from the Golden Family, so she can be directly counted as a descendant of the Golden Family?"

Unexpectedly, Cao Gan was even more surprised than him, and widened his eyes and said: "Who said she belongs to my granddaughter? Where did this ridiculous rumor come from? This Zhong Jinhatun is the daughter of Eshen Taiji, a member of the Woerdu Division. Ah!" He was stunned for a while, then remembered something, suddenly laughed, and said: "Did you hear that Shen Taiji is my son-in-law, so Zhong Jinhatun is my granddaughter? No? No, when Eishen Taiji married Ida’s daughter, Zhongjin Hatun was born long ago—she was the first Biji’s daughter of Eishen Taiji, and her mother died long ago.”

　Thanks to the book friends for the reward of "One Thought, Moment and Eternity", thank you!In addition, by the way, since the publication of the Mongolian version of "Altan Khan Biography" (Altan Khan is Altan Khan), there are many differences in the research on Altan Khan by international and domestic scholars. The origin of the birth of San Niangzi is still controversial, not to mention China, scholars from Japan to Germany have studied it, and the differences are not small.However, a pair of "Ming Dynasty Tatar Shunyi King's Wife Jacket Erdu Si Daughter Zhongshun Mrs. San Niangzi" painted by Ming people that has been handed down to this day clearly identifies her as Woerdusi (that is, the Ordos Department). It can only be regarded as the opinion of a family, this kind of thing... Let's wait for the historians to reach a consensus.
