King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

The messenger heard what Naha said and said calmly: "Your Majesty does have a will."

Nahachu sat on the chair, motionless, and said lazily: "Read it! Nahachu accepts the order!"

The next second, the messenger looked up at Nahachu.

"King Kaiyuan! I have personally come to declare my decree to you!"

After the words fell, Naha was shocked.

The subordinates surrounding Naha were also shocked!
Naha Chu suddenly got off his chair and looked at the envoy in front of him. After looking at it carefully, he realized that the person in front of him looked very similar to the emperor in the portrait!

He couldn't help but asked in a trembling voice: "Are you really His Majesty?"

Tuogu Si Timur laughed and said: "King Kaiyuan, can I still be fake?"

Nahachu never actually met Thugustimur.

In recent years, the Ming army has carried out the Northern Expedition almost every one or two years. Both itself and Yuanting have to prepare for war almost every year.

Coupled with the fact that Ming Dynasty has implemented a blockade policy on the grassland, all supplies have become extremely scarce.

Therefore, even when they are not resisting the Ming army's Northern Expedition, they still have to consider going south to plunder.

It was said to be robbery, but it was actually a matter of survival.

If we don’t grab some necessary ironware from Daming, such as iron pots, or supplies such as salt, tea, cloth, etc., everyone will have a very difficult time!

This is the current situation of the prairie people.

As far as the Han people are concerned, they are extremely cruel, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.

But for the grassland people themselves, every time they went south there were many crises and heavy casualties, and all they asked for were some necessities of life.

In such a difficult situation, neither Naha Chu nor Togu Si Timur dared to leave their jurisdiction without authorization.

On the one hand, the army frequently gathers for battle, and cannot do without its own leadership.

On the other hand, whether it is Mobei Yuanting or Nahachu, there are many unstable factors. If you leave at will, the person on the front foot may just leave, and the person on the back foot will be revolted and take his place.

So the two never actually met.

However, Nahachu still had a portrait of Thugustimur.

At the same time, Nahachu also met Tuugusi Timur's father, Yuan Zhaozong Aiyou Shili Tara.

The Tuogu Si Timur in front of him was very similar to Yuan Zhaozong, and he was very similar to the person in the portrait, which made Naha believe it.

This person is the current Emperor of Dayuan!
Although Nahachu had no respect for Mobei Yuanting, he had always regarded himself as a loyal minister.

In particular, although the Yuan Dynasty has now declined and withered like a candle in the wind, the Golden Family still has an extremely noble status in the hearts of all Mongolians.

Therefore, now that Naha Chu had confirmed the identity of Togu Si Timur, he knelt down without hesitation.

While kneeling, Naha came out and said: "Chen Naha comes out."

suddenly.

Nahachu felt that his hands were being supported and he could no longer kneel down.

When he looked up, he saw Togu Si Timur holding his arm.

"King Kaiyuan, don't be too polite today! I didn't come to you just to accept your kneeling!"

Naha felt warm in his heart and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

With that said, he stood up and said to the people around him: "The greatest emperor of the Mongols is here! Tell me, prepare the best wine and the best food, and we will give a good welcome to His Majesty!"

Tuogu Si Timur smiled and said: "I would like to thank King Kaiyuan for his warm hospitality! However, King Kaiyuan, I am not here just to drink wine and eat meat!

King Kaiyuan, I want to discuss a big matter with you! I wonder if it's convenient for you? "

When Nahachu heard this, he knew what Togu Si Timur meant.

He nodded and said: "Your Majesty, please follow me to the back!"

soon.

The two came to a main room.

Nahachu couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, I wonder what's the matter with you, why don't you come here in person?"

Tuogu Si Timur looked at Naha coming out, sighed and said: "King Kaiyuan, if it wasn't urgent, why would I be willing to take all kinds of difficulties and risk to come to you personally!

King Kaiyuan, the end of us prairie people is coming soon, whether it’s yours or mine! "

Naha Chu was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "I wonder why your Majesty said this?"

Tuogusi Timur sighed and said: "Eighteen years have passed since the fall of Dadu and the fall of the motherland. The lives of us grassland people are getting worse day by day, and you should also know this.

When the late emperor was still alive, he still dared to work with the King of Qi, Timur (Wang Baobao), to try to revitalize the Yuan Dynasty and restore our capital!

However, now, the various tribes in Mobei are falling apart. We are being defeated by the Ming army. The grass on the ground is getting more and more withered and yellow, and the life of the grassland people is getting more and more difficult.

Who among us now dares to talk about restoring Dadu? Those people from the Ming Dynasty even took over the top of the Yuan Dynasty! But we are still unable to recover!

This is reality, King Kaiyuan! "

When Naha heard this, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Yes!

He saw with his own eyes that Dayuan went from wearing millions of armors and dominating China, to exile in Mobei, and suffered repeated defeats, and now he is as dilapidated as a candle in the wind!

Even though he had gone from a mere member of a household of ten thousand to a prince commanding hundreds of thousands of troops and a vast territory, the psychological gap still made him miserable.

Tuogusi Timur said slowly: "Three years ago, King Liang died for the Yuan Dynasty in Yunnan. Now, the only targets of the Ming Dynasty are you and me!

I have received the news that the Ming Dynasty will soon launch another Northern Expedition. This time, they plan to completely eliminate you or me, or they want to eliminate us at the same time! "

When Naha heard this, he was shocked.

"Three years? They captured King Liang's Yunnan. In just three years, they were able to send troops again?"

During the Southern Expedition, Fu Youde, then the Marquis of Yingchuan, Lan Yu, the Marquis of Yongchang, and Muying, the Marquis of Xiping, led an army of 300,000 people.

They defeated Yunnan and Guizhou all the way, forced King Yuan and Liang to death, and even defeated the Duan family in Dali.

For such a large army, the expenditure is naturally exaggerated. After such a national-level war, it stands to reason that we should rest and recuperate for a long time.

What shocked Naha was that just three years later, the Ming Dynasty was about to launch a war to destroy the country again!
Nahachu couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"When I was young, I always heard the elders say that Han people are sheep and Mongolians are wolves, but it is only now that I realize that these Han people are not sheep. Once they wake up, their martial virtues will not be inferior to us Mongolians!"

Togu Si Timur smiled bitterly and said, "We should have realized this a long time ago! It's just a pity that we realized it too late!"

Naha sighed, looked at Togu Si Timur, and couldn't help but ask: "Then who is Ming's target this time? Is it your majesty or your minister?"

In fact, at this time, Naha had a feeling that Ming's target should be Yuanting.
That's why Togu Si Timur was forced to come in person, most likely to ask for help!

Togu Si Timur said lightly: "I have received the news that the target of the Ming Army's Northern Expedition this time is you! As for whether you will continue to attack me after conquering you, I don't know."

Naha was shocked and said: "Is this so?"

Tuogu Si Timur laughed at himself and said: "The Liaodong guarded by King Kaiyuan is no better than the grassland! You can farm here, and you have built many cities in the past, but what about me, the emperor? I have no fixed place and wander around. If the Ming army comes, I'm afraid they will have to flee far away to Mobei. If they can't find it, they will naturally set you as their priority target!"

Nahachu nodded when he heard this.

This is indeed the truth. No matter how you look at it, you should give priority to defeating yourself, which will benefit the Ming Dynasty more. At the same time, although you are stronger than Mobei Yuanting, you don't have to worry because you have a stronghold to defend. To find the main force, just attack directly.

The difficulty is actually much less than finding the main force of Mobei Yuanting to fight.

When he thought of this, his heart suddenly became much heavier.

Although he now has nearly 30 troops, his military morale is actually fluctuating and there are many internal conflicts.

In fact, it is because the power of the Mongols is getting weaker and weaker, so the subordinates are becoming more and more disorganized. Everyone is worried about the day when it will be their turn to doomsday, and everyone wants to find a better way out.

This is understandable.

Naha knew that there were many generals who were in cahoots with the Great Ming Dynasty, but there was nothing he could do about it.

After all, if these people are dealt with, the morale of the military will become even more unstable.

But if these people are allowed to exist in our army, once the Ming army attacks, our army of 30 will collapse in an instant.

Naha couldn't help but sigh softly and said: "Your Majesty did not hesitate to take such a risk to come here in person to tell you such an important matter. I am so grateful!

Your Majesty, please rest assured. I have been a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty all my life. If that moment comes, I would rather die than surrender to the Ming Dynasty! The worst case scenario is that he would die for his country like King Liang! "

Togu Si Timur smiled bitterly.

"King Kaiyuan, do you think that I came all the way to you just to tell you a piece of information and to persuade you not to surrender?
Don’t I understand the allusion that has been passed down by the Han people for thousands of years?
If you lose, how many days can I live alone? "

When Nahachu heard Togustimur's words, he was startled and looked up at him.

"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

Nahachu vaguely guessed a possibility, but he didn't dare to say it.

That is, Togu Si Timur wanted to discuss cooperation with him to fight against the Ming army together!

But the reality made him unable to believe the emperor in front of him. Does he still have the strength to join forces with him to fight against the Ming army?

The first is Yuanting's declining prestige.

Don't talk about yourself, even on the vast grassland, tribes of various sizes have been formed, and now they don't obey Yuanting's orders very much.

Respect is one thing, being willing to die for it is another.

Secondly, Mobei Yuanting's situation in recent years has been much worse than mine.

In their hands, they had all the rare treasures they had brought from Yuandadu, but they were extremely short of all kinds of materials.

Over the years, many rare treasures have been given to him in exchange for materials such as iron pots, tea bricks, refined salt, cloth, and grain.

Let them travel thousands of miles to support themselves. Can Yuanting be able to provide the manpower and material resources required?
However, what surprised Naha was that Togustimur actually revealed his suspicion!
"King Kaiyuan, I am here this time to discuss with you a joint fight against the Ming army!"

Tuogusi Timur's eyes are bright and decisive.

"When the Ming generals Xu Da and Chang Yuchun attacked Helin, our Yuan Dynasty was in turmoil and could overthrow at any time! King Timur of Qi expanded his profile to lure the enemy deeper and defeated the Ming army. This stabilized the situation and allowed our Yuan Dynasty to continue to date!

This shows that the Ming army is not invincible!
King Kaiyuan, you are stationed in Liaodong and have hundreds of thousands of troops under your command. I command Mobei and can also summon 200,000 cavalry! You and I have a combined army of 500,000 people. Do so many people still want to sit back and watch the Ming army defeat us one by one? "

After saying that, Tuogusi Timur said: "King Kaiyuan, you are a descendant of Mu Huali, the first of the four heroes, and I am a descendant of Genghis Khan! We are born to be monarchs and ministers, brothers, and we live and die together. siblings!

Now, we grassland people have lost the glory of our ancestors, but we still have to survive, right?

These Han people have gone too far to bully others. They have taken back everything that belongs to them, but they still come to the grassland to snatch our land!

Times have changed, and so has the situation! Now it is us grassland people who are resisting the Han people!
Our fight is not to regain the capital, but to gain a place for survival. We just want to prevent our descendants from becoming slaves of the Han people!

So today I am here, and I am willing to tell you personally, King Kaiyuan, let’s join forces! Bury those greedy Ming soldiers in this land that does not belong to them! Let them know that the majesty of the grassland people cannot be offended! "

Naha suddenly became excited when he heard Togu Si Timur's words.

"Your Majesty! I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty!"

Togu Si Timur shook his head and said: "There are no kings or ministers here today, only brothers! King Kaiyuan, good brother!"

Naha stretched out his hands to support Togu Si Timur and laughed.

"Your Majesty! Good brother! Hahaha."

Seeing that the alliance has been finalized, Naha Chu is still uneasy.

He couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, now I have heard about the situation there. You just said that you have 20 cavalry, and they are coming to support me. Your Majesty, please do your best in this matter!"

Togu Si Timur smiled slightly and said, "Does King Kaiyuan doubt my sincerity?"

Nahachu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has come in person, and I only feel grateful in my heart!"

Togu Si Timur smiled.

"That means you doubt my strength."

Naha remained silent.

Tuogu Si Timur smiled and said: "I won't hide it from you. Originally, I didn't have the ability to organize an army of this size to come to support you. However, I found new allies among the Han people. They gave the grassland I brought a lot of food, iron tools and even firearms! With these things, I can naturally organize the warriors on the grassland!"
