Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 376: Conquering Mobei vertically and horizontally (Part )
The young emperor sits proudly on the fearless lion in the west. The reason why he is said to be proud is because the emperor's head is held high and his nostrils are raised to the sky. There is a faint lotus-shaped Buddha light on his head, suggesting his status as a great scholar; two rows. His civil and military demeanor was humble, and his eyes showed worship from the bottom of his heart. One of them, Taiji in a green robe, looked happy, with his mouth open, and seemed to be chatting with the emperor. The other Taiji in a blue robe, tall and burly, with staring eyes, bulging cheeks, and a flowing beard, was obviously pregnant. gas.

This scene is shown in the "Picture of Emperor Qianyuan Meeting the Envoys of Khalkha" by the Mongolian painter Burhan. The painter's skills are superb and the characters are lifelike, vividly recording the situation at that time for future generations.

Of course, there are also things that future generations don’t know. In fact, in order to overwhelm the Khalkha people, Suletan not only deployed densely armored soldiers to show off his might, but also specially ordered Taiji Dalma and Bobei of the Junggar tribe to welcome them. Both of them are important ministers of Junggar and have had much contact with their Khalkha neighbors. They have met many times on the battlefield and at the wine shop, and now they meet again in the mountains and rivers. Thinking of the fact that the Junggar tribe, which had been very prosperous before and caused great losses to the Khalkha people, was actually conquered, and even their Taiji became a minister of the Wei emperor, the strength of the Wei army is so terrifying!
Because of the shock, he became uncomfortable when he entered the camp.

"Where is my nephew Babu?" What they didn't expect was yet to come. The majestic Emperor David actually condescended to personally come to greet his relative Babu, the Chechen minister, outside the tent.

Babu was surprised and happy. When he came, his old father asked him to establish friendship with David and find a backer for the Chechen tribe, but he didn't take it seriously. The century-old civil war between Khalkha and Oirat made many Khalkha people doubtful about the Oirat people. Deep down, he did not think that defecting to the Wei Kingdom was a good idea. It can be seen that the other party is so enthusiastic and really touched. Maybe my father's idea is the wisest!
"How dare the young envoy bother Your Majesty to welcome him personally?" he said movedly.

"I am not welcoming the envoys of Khalkha, but I want to meet my nephew. I remember that when the tribes formulated the code of law at the Talbahatai Alliance, we met once, and we have not seen each other since. Is that right? ?" Sultan shouted one after another, claiming to be an elder. In fact, he was about the same age as this Babu.

"Your Majesty has a good memory! I went to Talbahatai with Eqige back then."

"Alas! Time flies! Hurry, please enter the account quickly. I want to have a good chat with you."

As soon as he entered the tent, Sultan asked Babu to sit on the seat next to him. The chair was large and comfortable, covered with tiger skin, and there were mare's milk wine, butter tea, brick tea and various fruit pastries in front of the table; while the chair for Hang Tudai was much smaller, not only not covered with fur, but also empty in front of the table. Not even a glass of water.

"I am a dignified envoy of Khalkha, how can the Lord of the Guard be so rude?" Hang Tudai shouted angrily.

"Hmph! When my nephew comes, of course he has a big chair to sit on; when Khalkha's envoy comes, there is only a small chair. So what can you do if you don't accept it?" Sultan sneered with his nostrils pointing to the sky, not even mentioning his Protests are taken seriously.

Hang Tudai was ashamed and annoyed. He glanced at Babu with doubts on his face and stopped talking. Babu felt awe-struck in his heart. Such an action by the Wei Emperor would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Chechen tribe in other Khalkha tribes, forcing our Chechen tribe to defect to the Wei Kingdom. Awesome! Awesome! He secretly complained in his heart, but on his face he could only pretend to be happy, chatting happily with the emperor about home affairs.

Burhan, the painter who was serving on the side, was ordered to paint this "Picture of Emperor Qianyuan Meeting the Khalkha Envoys", which gave rise to the previous scene.

"How are you, Eqi Ge? I haven't seen you for many years, and I miss you so much!" Suletan continued to ask questions.

"Thank you for your concern. Eqige is in good health. He went hunting tigers in the mountains a few days ago," Babu said respectfully.

"That's good, that's good!" Sultan showed joy and asked: "How is your forehead? When I was in the palace, my aunt often talked to me about her sister, and she missed her very much." . After hearing this, Babu felt hot in his heart, "I, Ehe, have always been thinking about my aunt."

The two people were talking about their family affairs, but refused to talk about the business. Hang Tudai was anxious and stepped forward, "Zasak Tuhan ordered me to ask His Majesty, is the "Mongolia-Oirat Code" still valid? Why do you Oirat people want to fight? Our Khalkha?”

"Nonsense!"

Sultan was angry, and the emperor who was killed from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​​​blood was as angry as a burning prairie fire, "It is obviously you who interfered in the internal affairs of Oirat and supported Yumhagas and Sengge's mother and son to become my enemy, so you provoked this." It’s a war. Why do you think it’s us Oirat who want to attack your Khalkha? If you don’t raise troops to go south, why would I come all the way to Mobei to hunt with you?”

"This~"

Hang Tudai was speechless for a moment and argued forcefully: "It was Yumhagas mother and son who asked us for help, saying that Your Majesty relied on his own troops to bully the ministries. It was not enough to kill her husband, but also to drive out her mother and son. We are outraged. , just sent troops to rescue. According to the "Mongolia-Oirat Code", the Oirat and our Khalkha are brothers, and they should be as close to each other as brothers, guarding and helping each other. If our brothers are in trouble, we will send troops to rescue them. Is there anything wrong with that? "

"According to your opinion, Khalkha and Oirat are brothers, so they can interfere in the internal affairs of Oirat and take soldiers and horses to the south of the Altai Mountains. For the same reason, why shouldn't I come to the north of the Altai Mountains to hunt?"

"This~" Hang Tudai couldn't argue with Emperor Qianyuan, so he simply asked directly: "How can His Majesty be willing to retreat?"

"Okay! Have fun!"

Suletan praised him, his expression softened, and he said slowly: "It is not difficult for me to retreat. You only need to agree to three conditions: first, Khalkha should surrender to me; second, if David and other When the country is at war, Khalkha should send troops to help; thirdly, in addition to trading in Altay, the two sides should also open up Fuyun and Qinghe for trade."

After hearing this, Hang Tudai thought for a moment and said: "This matter is so big that we can't make the decision. We need to go back and discuss it with all the ministries. With all due respect, opening up ports for trade is a great thing. Article 3 All ministries should will agree; but the first point is that Khalkha has already paid the "Nine White Tributes" to the Qing Dynasty. If it surrenders to David, it will be punished by the Qing Dynasty; the second point is that the "Mongolia-Oirat Code" only stipulates that Khalkha When one side and Oirat are attacked by foreign enemies, the other side should send troops to help. However, if one side takes the initiative to attack another country, the other side has no obligation to send troops. If the defensive treaty is changed to an offensive and defensive alliance, the ministries will not agree, and the Qing Dynasty will definitely not give up. ".

Seeing that he mentioned the Manchus twice, Sultan understood that Khalkha had been frightened by the Eight Banners soldiers in recent years, and it was extremely difficult to conclude a military alliance with them. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "We are guests from afar. Are you two hungry? The back tent has prepared fine wine and food. Let's go to the back tent to have a drink first."

"Yes, yes, yes, eat first, eat first and then talk." Babu also laughed and tried to smooth things over.
