Jinyi Night Walk

In the Yinma River in early winter, when the weather is good, the sun is shining and the sky is clear. When the weather is bad, the wind is cold and the sky is full of sand.No pop-up window qi

The first snow in early winter just fell today. The snow was shallow and thin, and most of it melted away before evening. It will be beautiful when the real heavy snow falls and covers the entire grassland, and the snow is thousands of miles away.

However, the northern scenery of the snow dancing with the silver snake and the original galloping wax figure is definitely not a kind of enjoyment for the people in the grassland. If such heavy snow falls, it will certainly be a happy event for the people who mainly focus on farming. It is a big trouble for the people who are mainly nomadic.It is always cold after snow. Although there is a large amount of fodder in stock, it is also a big problem for livestock to keep out the cold.

This is the residence of the Alutai Department, very close to the territories of Kaiyuan and Wuliangha Sanwei in Liaodong.

At the end of winter, nomadic tribes will choose a place to settle down and wait for the spring to bloom before nomadic. Therefore, in the past, the Tatar settlement Khan tent would never have been set up so close to Liaodong. With the increasingly close relationship between the two sides, there is no fear of war between the two sides, and these concerns are gone.

It was a peaceful night, and a little warm, as the weather is always warm when the snow first falls, and you won't feel the chill until the next day.

The wind is not strong tonight, and few stars can be seen under the black sky. The night sky must be covered with dark clouds, and a bigger snowstorm is brewing.

The pasture is also quiet, the herdsmen are hiding in the tents, and occasionally there will be the cry of cattle and sheep and the long hiss of horses.

Alutai's tent is warm as spring, and a dinner party is being held.

Matouqin, Kekuer and other instruments played cheerful tunes with clear rhythm and vivid music.

Four girls, wearing bright Mongolian robes, are performing a chopstick dance in the center of the big tent. Each girl holds a pair of chopsticks in each hand and dances to the music. With both shoulders and hands crossed in front of the abdomen and hitting the chopsticks, it is a joyful sight especially for men.

They danced quickly, with long braids flying, flowing and vigorous.When the rhythm of the music became both relaxed and fast, a pair of chopsticks flew down, hitting bright nodes everywhere, pushing the performance to a climax. The knife cut off large pieces of beef and mutton, blood sausage, etc., and stuffed them into his mouth to chew.

Grand Master Alutai sat at the head, completely different from the joyful expressions of the leaders, even when he was smiling, his eyes were cold and cold.He is now King Hening appointed by the Ming Dynasty, the real master of the Tatars.Although Tatar's strength is now much weaker than before, he has walked from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, and no longer has to give orders under the shadow of the profuse Khan. This kind of glory and satisfaction is unprecedented.

In order to resist the pressure from Oala, Alutai has paid tribute to Daming frequently in the past two years, and behaved very docilely.Taking advantage of his status as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the King of Ning, and his status as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, he has strengthened economic exchanges with Liaodong and Wuliangha Sanwei. Like this winter, he not only ordered all tribes to prepare sufficient pasture and winter clothes in advance Robes, sleeping tents, and a batch of rice grains were purchased from Liaodong for emergencies.

Now that he has enough soldiers and food, he is confident that he will recover his vitality within a few years and compete with Oala again.

However, during his contacts with Liaodong, he also found that the three guards of Wuliangha had deteriorated. The three guards of Wuliangha, who used to live as nomads, were brave and good at fighting, and were good at riding and shooting, now tend to focus on farming, which is more stable. A large number of Han immigrants appeared in the territory of Wuliangha Sanwei, and because of the many benefits and wealth they brought, they were honored by the Wuliangha Sanwei.

Arutai is quite vigilant about this. Han people have more advanced production methods, and they are even more masters in business and trade. If they let go of their own tribe, their tribe will soon be attracted, imitated, and even assimilated.In just a few short years, the men and women of Wuliangha Sanwei are already proud of wearing Hanfu, speaking Chinese, and inviting Han recruits to teach their children to know Chinese characters and read Chinese.

Alutai does not want such a situation to arise, so although he vigorously develops border trade relations with Liaodong, he has strictly set up several trading places, and he definitely does not dare to let himself go unsuspectingly like Wuliangha Sanwei territory.

Internally, there are still voices against him, but in view of his excellent leadership, under the combination of soft and hard, there are fewer and fewer tribal leaders who dare to oppose him. Even if some tribal leaders do not obey him, they will not follow him He sang the opposite tune and played against the stage.

"Give me some more time..."

Arutai took a sip of strong wine, squinted his eyes and thought: "In two more years, I can integrate the whole Tatar and make it united. In another five years, my cattle, sheep, horses, and wealth It can restore the strength of the heyday. I have to continue to think of ways to instigate Ming Dynasty to conquer Oala, and use this opportunity to strengthen my power. If I can unify the entire prairie, 20 years later, I will have the strength to annex Liaodong. It will take 30 to 40 years , have the ability to launch a real challenge to Daming!"

Alutai squinted his eyes and glanced at his stepson Shi Nieerqian. Shi Nieerqian was holding a large wooden bowl, drinking with other leaders boldly, put down the wine bowl, and took another fire. The strings sang loudly.

Alutai smiled slightly, and thought to himself: "These big things may not be done in my hands, but after I pave the way, my stepson will naturally finish it. At that time, he will be Kublai Khan, and I, Will become Genghis Khan!"

At this moment, the thick curtain of the felt bag was suddenly pushed open, and a man wearing a khaki fat Mongolian robe walked in quickly. The girls who had just finished dancing and were about to retreat quickly avoided to the left and right. Stepping forward, the speed was extremely fast, and with the flames burning on both sides, he also floated towards the direction he was rushing towards.

"My lord! Don't beg and come back, Wulantuya don't beg and come back!"

The guard put his hand on his chest and saluted Alutai with an excited expression.

Ulan Tuya is the most beautiful girl in the Tartar grasslands. I don’t know how many men admire her. The status of this guard is too far away from her, or she can only look up and fall in love with her from afar, but the goddess-like girl in her heart has returned. Horde, that kind of heartfelt joy still made him ecstatic.

"what?"

Alu Taihuo, who has always been calm and composed, stood up suddenly, and said in surprise and joy: "What did you say? My Ulantuya...is back?"

Back then when Arutai decided to give up his revenge for killing his son, not to kill Xia Xun, but to instigate the relationship between the Liaodong Han Dynasty and the Jurchen tribes, Sakura refused to obey and insisted on revenge on the 1st day. For her father's feud, Alutai could not stop her, it was tantamount to abandoning her. If his plan succeeded, Sakura would probably die in Liaodong. In the face of great cause and personal relationship, Arutai finally chose the former.

After the failure of the Liaodong incident, there were different opinions about the news about Liaodong. Some said that a Tatar female spy who pretended to be the governor's maid failed to assassinate the governor and was tortured to death. Another news said that the governor was merciful and pardoned. They killed the female assassin and drove her out of Liaodong. There are also rumors that the maid was sent to a kiln after her tendon was cut off... There are different opinions, but there is no certainty. Without any accurate information about her, I only thought that she was dead, so I stopped thinking, I didn't expect that she was still alive.For a moment, Alutai was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said: "Where is it? Bring her to see me!"

As soon as the words were finished, several guards rushed in rushing in surrounded by a girl dressed in men's clothing. She had already taken off her face scarf and hat, and a big black and shiny braid hung down her shoulders. Tuya.

Many of the leaders here also recognized her, and when they saw Sakura appearing, they were surprised.

Excited and happy, Alutai stepped out of the table, opened his arms, and said excitedly: "My Wulantuya, you are finally back!"

Seeing Alutai's true feelings at first, Sakura's mood is very complicated, but remembering that he designed her marriage with his son in order to consolidate her status, and sacrificed herself mercilessly for his great cause, she calmed down again, and Sakura hurried away for a few minutes Step by step, he hurriedly said to Alutai: "Qian Dae, prepare quickly, Wala is going to send troops to attack us!"

"what?"

Alutai was taken aback, he is a mature politician after all, as soon as he heard the news, his love for Yaolun was immediately forgotten, Alutai clapped his palms twice, and said in a deep voice: "The banquet is over, Everyone retreat!"

All the leaders were astonished when they heard what Sakura said. After hearing Alutai's order, they had to retreat one after another. The tent was empty. Where? Why do you say Wala is going to send troops to attack me?"

When Xiao Ying came here, she had already thought up some explanations, and said that she failed in the assassination, but was released by Xia Xun's righteousness. At that time, she was angry that her adoptive father ignored her father's hatred and her life and death, and did not want to return to Tartar, so she rode alone. Ma wandered in the grasslands, and later wandered to Western Mongolia, where she was taken in by her distant relative Huo Ahatun, so she has been staying in Wala for several years.

Not long ago, Tuotuobuhua Khan convened the Dahuligetai. Both Hashha and Mahamu were assassinated, and even Tuohuan died. The Oala tribes were so angry that they decided to send troops to attack the Tatars.Although Sakura is entrusted to Oara, after all, she is a Tatar. Although she is not resentful of the cruelty of her adoptive father, but at this critical moment of life, all the grievances and resentments can't hide her feelings for so many years. How can she bear her family members being slaughtered by Oara?So he fled by plane and rushed to report.

The series of news stunned Alutai. He didn't expect so many things to happen recently. Wala's attack is certainly an emergency for him right now, but the two men, Mahamu and Hashha In the long run, the assassination of a powerful enemy is a very good thing.

For Xiao Sakura, he has no doubts, because he only needs to inquire about these things that Xiao Sakura said later.Sakura warns him that he can be alert in advance. If Wala doesn’t come, then the news is not true. If Wala really sends troops, he can prepare early if he knows the news. undoubtedly.

Alutai said apologetically: "Tuya, the adoptive father must think about the future of the family. In the face of righteousness, we have to give up our family ties. It is the adoptive father who is sorry for you. Now, if you can rush to report to the adoptive father, you will not be in vain for the adoptive father." I love you a lot. Now, the adoptive father is the king of He Ning, and he has the sole power in Tatar. When you come back, you will be my princess of Tatar from now on. The foster father will never wrong you again!"

The two chatted for a while, and Alutai asked him to take Xiao Ying down to rest. He meditated for a long time in the tent alone, and said in a deep voice: "Come in, quickly summon the leaders of the various departments, and discuss the matter in the tent!"
