Emperor Kangxi: Yuyu Chengxiang

Chapter 103 Leading the King’s Master Kangxi to Resign from the Imperial Capital to Welcome the Rebel Army Zagon and Bleeding Himself (2)
Ge Erdanzi blushed, and listened quietly. After a while, he waved his hands to stop the crowd, and asked, "Why didn't Xiaozhen and Musar come?" A matouqin came out, and he bowed and replied: "The princess and the golden knife attached to the horse have said that there is something on the Khan's side, so I asked the old slave to agree." Galdan nodded after hearing this, and he also agreed to his stubborn daughter. no way.This time, Zhong Xiaozhen would rather die than come to Monan this time, but the [-] troops led by little Musar are the most skilled troops under his subordinates. It took desperate efforts to escape.To put it bluntly, he promised little Musar to support his army, teach and protect the commander, and not confront the Qing army head-on, and promised not to bring Fujin with him, so Xiaozhen agreed to come with her husband, but she was "obeying the tune and not listening to the announcement." ", Ge Erdan can't do anything about them.Ge Erdan pondered for a long time, and ordered: "Stop shouting, let that Zagon come in, I have nothing to say!"

Zagon came in.This is a Mongolian man in his 40s, with a pair of treacherous small eyes on his reddish-purple face, blinking non-stop. Great Khan, my master, I wish you good luck! If you ask me to come, I will try my best to do it!”

"Although you have a eloquent tongue, what you say is as melodious as the song of a skylark on the grassland," Galdan said coldly, suppressing his anger, "I, Galdan, have also experienced vicissitudes of life, so I can't be deceived." People—I am not your master, and there is no auspiciousness to speak of, your master is Zhuo Sutu, he is surrounded by the fire with concubines, and the wine and fat sheep are really "auspicious"!"

Zagon raised his head, squinted his eyes and smiled, and said, "Bodhisattva, you know that my master is sick. He sincerely welcomes the Great Khan! The Hada I presented on behalf of the master is only used when worshiping God and Buddha. The gifts sent are enough to exchange for [-] slaves, and there will be a steady stream of donations in the future, this is the highest way of hospitality in Mongolia!"

"Do you know how much I gave Zhuo Suotu?" Galdan couldn't help it no matter how patient he was, he roared hoarsely, "Three times in total - only gold is 14 taels! 14 taels of gold is enough to buy." These two hundred Jiezi sheep that are too old to lose their teeth, and this little silk that turns to ashes when the wind blows? You--" He coughed angrily, but didn't say what he said next. "This is not a business. Of course a noble owner like the Great Khan doesn't do business, right?" Zagon was very savage and rogue, he didn't get angry at all, and responded calmly with a smile, "If the Great Khan doesn't believe me, I will I would like to bring Khan to Horqin to meet our lord."

Galdan originally had this plan. He also heard that Horqin had secret envoys with the imperial court. He originally planned to hold a grand banquet as soon as he arrived, put Zhuo Suotu under house arrest, and order Monan Mongolia. Going to Horqin is also very dangerous.Thinking about not being able to turn his face at this moment, while he was thinking, someone outside came in to investigate: "Khan, that Mr. Grigoriev is back!" Ge Erdan cheered up, and hurriedly said: "Come in, please!" He said to Zagon with a half smile: "You are right here, I have something to ask later!"

"Listen to my orders, little one!" Zagon looked indifferent, smiled and agreed, retreated to the edge of the tent and stood with hands down.

With a dejected look on his face, Grigoriev walked in with leaden steps, bowed stiffly to Gerdan, and said, "Khan, I'm sorry I couldn't bring you good news. In view of Due to the domestic situation in our country and the Nerchinsk Treaty just concluded with the Qing Empire, Minister Plenipotentiary Gorovin ordered me to represent the supreme tsar to pay tribute to the Great Khan. At present, it is inconvenient to provide the Great Khan with muskets and ammunition—myself and the Great Khan’s I feel the same, and on behalf of myself, I would like to express my deep sympathy and apologies to you, my honorable friend and master..." Ge Erdan's face suddenly turned pale.He opened his eyes wide, staring blankly at the chilling autumn colors outside the tent, and the withered yellow and sparse grass. After a long time, he burst out into a maniacal laugh: "Treason, betrayal again! Hahahaha... Within a few days, I have been subjected to such The betrayal of the two big ones can be considered a great adventure in life! Hahahaha..."

"As I said, I personally apologize to you." Grigoriev stepped forward and said calmly, "Our great Tsar Peter is currently concentrating on solving the political problems on the western and southern borders of Russia. No more troops will be needed to resolve the border dispute in the Heilongjiang River Basin. Fortunately, Minister Suo'etu does not know this inside story, otherwise they would not even give in to the Nerchinsk negotiations. With your wisdom, of course, our country Due to our country’s difficulties, we cannot interfere too much in your country’s internal affairs—to express my sympathy, I only present ten sticks of the Great Khan’s black blunderbuss and the corresponding ammunition in my own name—after completing this mission, I With regret and hope, I will be called back to China..." Finished.With a shake of his chin, two Luocha soldiers came in carrying a big box and put it on the ground.Grigoriev breathed a sigh of relief, shrugged his shoulders, raised his cane, said: "Goodbye-I wish you all the best", and walked away.Gerdan was trembling with anger, spat at Grigoriev's back with a "bah", and cursed: "You rascal, whore!" A letter from Gordon.Seeing that the seal on it belonged to King Horqin, Galdan tore open the envelope with red eyes. When he looked at it, he saw that it read:
King Horqin would like to send a letter to Khan Geerdan of Zhungeerbu: You have come from a long distance, and it is a pity that you cannot greet him with a libation in person.Although the servant is ill, he is not so rude, but knowing that His Highness killed his father and brother in the past, his heart was chilled.The servant and His Highness are brothers and sisters, and can't bear to fight any more, which will add to His Highness's eternal infamy, so he avoids it.Your Highness is a sinful servant, and it is difficult to quit as a servant, but you must not vent your anger on the cattle and sheep of my subjects on the Horqin Grassland.Otherwise, fighting is inevitable.Zhuo Suotu is ill and pays respects again.

Ge Erdan really exploded at this moment with seven souls and three corpses, tearing up the letter three by two, and said with a grinning smile: "Zagoon, come forward a little bit, I have something to ask you."

"My ears are very good." Zagon still did not change his smile, "Khan just say what he has to say."

"How long have you been in the Horqin Palace?" Gerdan gritted his teeth and asked with a smile, "I think you are very capable in handling things."

"Me?" Zagon scratched his ears and replied, "I used to be a singer on the grassland. When my mother was ill, my daughter was sold to the palace as a slave. This time when the sweat came, the prince released my daughter. After giving her a hundred sheep and promoting me to be a housekeeper, I really have nothing to say when I come to you to say hello..."

So it turned out that Zagon was temporarily brought in to act as a housekeeper, just to tease him!Gerdan was so enraged that he pulled out his sword with a "bass", and walked down with a grin. Seeing Zagon's broken face, he raised the cold sword, put it down again, and patted the sword. On his shoulder, he said: "You are a man, for your daughter's freedom, you dare to risk your teeth in my tiger's mouth, I will spare you—go back! Tell this evil wolf, Zhuosutu, he has to keep his promise Otherwise, my soldiers have nothing to eat, so of course I want to attack his grasslands, killing and looting are inevitable. Since I came from the east, I can’t go west empty-handed! Hmph, forgive me for how much you can do in Mobei Mongolia. Have you got the Khalkha Tripartite Mongolia?"

Zagon did not expect Ge Erdan to have such a heart of righteousness, his usual laughing and indifferent expression was swept away, he became solemn and self-reliant, he raised his body and took a step forward and said: "I have promised our prince to die here, our Horqin A man is an iron man, how can he not keep his word? I'm dead!" As he spoke, he pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist and plunged it into his heart.Blood gurgled out immediately, and his body shook, like a tree that had been cut down, dripping with juice, and fell to the ground slumped.

Galdan didn't expect him to be so bloody, he stood there in a daze, his head was buzzing, and he didn't know what to think.The Mongols value warriors, and the surrounding generals looked at Zagon's body and mourned silently. After a long time, they asked someone to carry him out.

After being hit one after another and witnessing Zagon's bloodshed, Galdan became calmer. He patted his dizzy head, and immediately felt an inexplicable fear: Losing the Raksha Kingdom and Zhuo Sutu. With the help of the Great Austrian Army, this army of more than 2 people has become a lone army. Except for the food brought by [-] camels, which can barely last for half a year, there is no hope of successor food sources. This is really a terrible thing!The autumn wind outside the tent made the dry grass rustle, and the cowhide tent was stirred by the cool wind blowing in, making uneasy groans. Galdan shivered, wrapped his cloak, and cheered up:

"The whole army immediately entered Bajing Peak, built a stronghold by the mountains and rivers, and stationed in Huanggang Mountain and Linxi area to prevent Zhuo Suotu from copying my back, and set up defenses along the Xilamulun River, and listened to the Qing army at Gubeikou at any time. Let's see what happens to Kangxi!"

While thinking about it, he said: "Hurry up and send someone to contact Sangjie Rencuo in Qinghai, and tell him to raise [-] stone grains, which will be shipped next spring. It is best to send some Tibetan soldiers to Zhaomodo to meet them. As long as I The army is constantly retreating, and they can finally win this Ulan Butong—a firm foothold is success!"

His solution is indeed the best plan at the moment.Tens of thousands of Zhungeer's fierce Mengzhan cavalry immediately shrunk into fists and entrenched Ulan Butong, Jingfeng and Huanggang Mountains in the territory of Keshiketeng Banner. The Ramulun River is a natural danger.When Zhuo Suotu woke up from his complacency, he had already formed a confrontational situation. Although the Mongolian kings in Mobei had the intention to join forces to attack Geldan, they could not send troops far in the severe winter.How could Zhuosutu compete with Gerdan with just one effort?Countless small battles were fought, but instead of gaining a bargain, many cattle and sheep were lost.
