Chapter 382 The Great Protector(1/2)

The news of the defeat of the Tuman tribe shocked the grassland. As foreign merchants returned to the wall and went to Liaodong, Shuofang Protectorate truly established a reputation to shock the Mongolian tribes.

In the newly built royal city of Chahanhot, the Khans king's court, the Khans looked at Lindan Batulu on the throne, and his old face was a little worried. He was the leader of the Neikhalkha tribe. Although he supported the young Khan, who would have thought that Ming Kingdom had another fierce man comparable to Qi and Li.

Since Dayan Khan (the little prince) unified Mongolia and enfeoffed the sons with the blood of the Borjijin clan, and established 60,000 households on the left and right wings, Dayuan was still weak for the first time, with 30,000 households on the right wings. Originally, the Tumote tribe was the most powerful, and Altan Khan almost usurped the throne and became the master of the Mongolian Khan.

But now there are 30,000 households on the right wing. The Ordos tribe was conquered by the Shuofang Protectorate. The 50,000 army of the Tumote tribe was defeated. The tall lord established Su Nang as the Khan of the Tumote tribe. The remaining Yongsebu simply sent an envoy to the Shuofang Protectorate to seek the seal. To put it bluntly, the 30,000 households on the right wing that once suppressed the 30,000 households on the left wing were breathless.

Fried flowers is an old man who has experienced the era of Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, but even famous generals like Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang who were once famous have never made him feel as scared as the young Shuofang Dadushi now.

After the time of Dayan Khan and Altan Khan, there was no real genius in Mongolia. Even the thirteen-year-old man in front of him succeeded to the throne, and after ten years of endurance, he finally reestablished the majesty of the Mongolian Khan, so that the young Khan who restored tribute in various tribes could not make the Baixu feel that their 30,000 households on the left can now confront the Shuofang Grand Protector.

"Da Khan, it's better to show his favor to Daming now."

Two years ago, with Lin Dan's efforts, 30,000 left-wing households jointly sent troops to plunder Guangning and other places, capturing many Ming people. Lin Dan's original intention was to force Ming to give him the trade privileges of customs clearance and trade with him like he did with Tumote tribe, but the Ming court never agreed.

The frying flowers originally supported Lin Dan, but now that Chahanhao was built, the people of the Ming Dynasty who were plundered were useless and were released to the Ming Dynasty. As for the use of the Later Jin Dynasty to force the Ming Dynasty court to agree to trade with tribute, it would naturally not work.

Lin Dan was silent and didn't say anything. When he ascended the throne, he was just a thirteen-year-old child. Even the Taiji people in Chahar headquarters didn't take him seriously. He endured it for a whole ten years, honing his martial arts and horsemanship, and recruiting young and unsuccessful Taiji and warriors in the tribe, and finally regained the power that his Mongolian Khan should have three years ago.

I thought I could show my might and restore the glory of the Yuan Dynasty, but the Ming Kingdom, which should have been declining to the west, had such a powerful figure. Why didn't Lin Dan be extremely angry?

"Taoshi, can't we fight a war? Are the tribes of Tumote, Yongsebu, and Ordos willing to be the dogs of the Great Protector of Shuofang?"

In order to win over the leader of the Neikhalkha tribe, Lin Danfeng became the Grand Tutor to help him handle government affairs. Although the government orders did not exceed 30,000 households on the left, he also saw that the system of auxiliary ministers that rebuilt the five ministers back then.

Baked Flower looked at the unwilling young khan, and finally shook her head, "The army we can take on will not be much more than the 50,000 troops of the Tumot army, and once we and the Dadu guardians of Shuofang, the Ming army in Datong will not turn a blind eye."

Lin Dan's face looked ugly. Although the Ming army in Datong and Guangning could not fight, if he really set up a large army to deal with the Shuofang Protectorate, the Ming army would definitely come out of seclusion and take advantage.

He couldn't fight, and he had to bow to the Ming Kingdom. This made Lin Dan, who was responsible for reviving the Dayuan, feel extremely frustrated. "Taishou, can we really want to beg for peace with the Ming Kingdom? At worst, I will be with the old slave of Jianzhou..."

"Da Khan, you are the orthodox of the Yuan Dynasty and the Mongolian Khan. How can you reduce your identity and join forces with the Jianzhou old slave?"

Fried flowers looked at Lin Dan, who was working with the Jianzhou Jurchens and said with a deep face that the Ming Dynasty was the most upright in China and that they recognized the orthodox status of the Yuan Dynasty. Those Jianzhou Jurchens were just a group of savages who were ignorant. How could they be compared with them and the Ming Dynasty?

If this young khan really chooses to join forces with the Jianzhou Jurchens, then the tribes in the 30,000 households on the left that border the Jianzhou Jurchens will be separated from the Khanate of the King.

"Since that's the case, the matter of peace talks with the Ming Dynasty will be handed over to the Grand Tutor."

After sending off the fried flowers, Lin Dan pulled out his scimitar and cut the table into pieces, which scared the guards around him so much that they didn't even dare to make a sound.

...

In the Camel City, the gate of the General's Mansion was about to be broken, and Du Hongyu naturally knew why the generals came. He did not expect that Gao Jin actually changed the Tuman tribe to a great knight. The secret letters of the victory came to his desk, and then the five thousand real Tartar heads were now pickled and stored in Shuofang City and transported back to Hekou Fort soon.

At the moment, the generals had just vague news, but Xiao Gao still did not take the credit to heart as usual. These five thousand true Tartar heads were still willing to deal with him, but Xiao Gao also told him his idea in the secret letter, which was called Du Hongyu taking it to heart.

Gao Jin asked his subordinates to take away the secret letters sent by himself and put them on the desk. Those who could really let Du Hongyu discuss major issues with confidence were no one except his father.

After reading the secret letter, Du Wenhuan couldn't help but sigh, "Xiao Gao is thinking carefully. You have made new achievements and are indeed not suitable to attract jealousy at this time."

"My father thinks Xiao Gao is right?"

Du Hongyu looked at his father, and he knew that Xiao Gao was right, but if he didn't share such great achievements with the generals in Luotuo City, he was afraid that he would start to make trouble.

"Of course, you just got the title. Xiao Gao beheaded 5,000 and replaced the Tuman tribe with a great knight. If you really want the court to discuss the merits, you will only give gold and silver rewards. If you want to go further, it is not that simple. Xiao Gao is young and has little experience, so it is even more difficult to get promoted."

Du Wenhuan could see through it clearly. The emperor is the most greedy for money nowadays. In addition to the court's misfortune, Xiao Gao's great achievements this time are the most unworthy. It would be better to use these five thousand real Tartar heads as bargaining chips for greater benefits.

"He and the Li Guangrong, the general of Guangning, have some friendship for his father. He and the Li family can eat these five thousand true tatar heads."

Du Hongyu didn't expect that his father actually planned to take these five thousand true tatar heads to Liaodong for favors, but the Guangning general was indeed a good candidate. First, he was born in Camel City, and second, the most serious border troubles in the court at present is Liaodong. If the old slaves in Jianzhou can accomplish anything, it is not that the Mongolian invasion in the north of Mobei.

"It's up to my father to decide everything."

Du Hongyu didn't think too much. Speaking of the generals in Camel City, he was troubled by it. The five thousand true tatar leaders really sent to Liaodong for favors, which saved a lot of trouble. "But my father, I can't ask Xiao Gao to suffer a loss. The five thousand true tatar leaders have to get at least 100,000 taels of silver."

"That's natural. If we take this favor, we can't lose money to Xiao Gao."

Du Wenhuan nodded and said, Li Guangrong was just a matchmaker, and in the end the money was the Li family in Liaodong. Life was not easy for the Li family in recent years. These five thousand real Tartar heads were enough to make the Li family stabilize the situation. How could it be compared with a mere 100,000 taels? In the end, the favor the Li family owed the heaviest.

"Then I will write a book on Yu Xiaogao and ask him to put the five thousand true tatar heads outside the pass and wait for the Liaodong to reply to the letter."

"If the generals in the city ignore them, they will treat them like eagles. Never let them eat enough, then they will not be able to move."

"Boy knows."

Du Hongyu replied in a deep voice that in the past six months, he disbanded most of the original subordinates of the Du family and recruited them again, but he treated the generals who had served in a lukewarm manner. As long as Xiao Gao was under his sect, he would not be afraid that these generals would be able to fight.

...

Ten days later, in Shuofang City, Gao Jin received a secret letter from Camel City. He knew that Du Hongyu was actually contacting the Li family in Liaodong to deal with the five thousand real Tartar heads, which surprised him a little.

Originally, Gao Jin felt that even if he and Du Hongyu took this credit, they would not be beneficial. It would be better to exchange it for a large sum of gold and silver from the generals of Camel City. Since Du Hongyu was sure that the Li family in Liaodong was willing to pay the money, he didn't care who he sold it to.

"Second brother, the envoy of the Ola tribe has arrived."

Outside the Mingtang, Chen Sheng strode in. Since the great victory over the Tuman tribe, as the news spread, envoys from various Mongolian tribes in Hexi in Qinghai came to Shuofang City to pay their respects to his second brother.

"Bring them to see me."

Mongolia and the Oirat were mortal enemies. When Dayan Khan unified Eastern Mongolia and established 60,000 households on the left and right wings, he directly kicked the Oirat out of Mongolia. Since then, 60,000 households on the left and right wings of Mongolia. No matter who is strong or weak, as long as he borders the Oirat, he will be beaten to death.

Nowadays, the territory of the Ola is mainly in the northern desert and the Western Regions. With the strongest of Khshuote and Junggar, Gao Jin can control 30,000 households on the right wing. In addition to the strong enough of the Shuofang Protectorate, it is also related to his willingness to open a market and do business in Mongolia.

The two generations of powerful rulers, Dayan Khan and Altan Khan, made Eastern Mongolia always suppress Oirat and drove them to a remote and bitter place. Oirat always wanted to return to the east, and now the Shuofang Protectorate Palace asked them to see hope.

Soon the envoys of the Ola arrived in front of Gao Jin. After seeing Gao Jin, the dozen short and strong envoys and warriors of the Junggar all knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "Greetings to the Great Protector, the Great Protector Wansheng."

"Get up!"

After the envoys of the Nawala tribe rose up, under Gao Jin's inquiry, Fang Zi trembled with their intention, hoping to ask him, the Great Protector of Shuofang, to send a caravan to the Owala to do business.

Because of their bad relations with Eastern Mongolia, the Oirats did not dare to come to Shuofang City to trade, because they would be snatched away by Eastern Mongolia on the way.

"Our Oirat tribes are willing to be the chief of the Great Protector, and only hope that the great Protector's kindness will benefit our Oirat people."

The envoy of the Oirat was a fat middle-aged man, but he spoke fluently in Chinese. He had a sincere expression on his face when he spoke, and the samurai with flesh on his face behind him were also respectful.

Outside Shuofang City, the five thousand Tuman Tartar heads placed in the open air, these fierce Oirat warriors were completely in awe of the Shuofang Protector in front of them. And they saw with their own eyes the respect of the Eastern Mongolian tribes for the Shuofang Protector.

They were surrounded by Eastern Mongolian troops more than several times on the road, but after the envoy came forward and said loudly that they were here to pay homage to the Great Protector of Shuofang. Moreover, the Great Protector of Shuofang had already known their itinerary, all the troops of Eastern Mongolia retreated, and no one dared to offend the greatness of the Great Protector of Shuofang.

"Your request is approved by Bendu Protector. You should settle down in Shuofang City first. Bendu Protector will organize a caravan and go to Oirat with you at that time, but your troops will need to send two thousand warriors to serve under my command."

Gao Jin naturally agreed. Although the Oirat tribes were now suppressed by Eastern Mongolia, their strength was not weak. The key was that the Oirat tribes were too far away from Shuofang, and he had no time to go on an expedition to the Oirat to defeat them. Since they were willing to surrender on their own initiative, he naturally treated them equally, and this could also balance the remaining 30,000 left-wing households in Eastern Mongolia.

"I wish to serve the Great Protector."

Behind the Oirat envoy, a dozen warriors walking with him knelt on the ground and said in stiff Chinese words.

The warriors on the grassland have always respected and followed the strong, and Gao Jin is undoubtedly the strong ones that these Oirat warriors are willing to follow.

After seeing off the Oirat envoy, Gao Jin said to Chen Sheng, "Arranging these Oirats, and at the same time tell the Mongols in the city that these Oirats are guests of our Shuofang Protectorate. If anyone dares to cause trouble and provoke, he will be killed without mercy."

Not to mention the feud between Eastern Mongolia and Oirat, the 30,000 households on the right wing of Eastern Mongolia were conquered by him. Just for trade with the Shuofang Protectorate, it was enough to make them take risks to attack the Oirat envoy.

"Don't worry, second brother, I will send a white horse riding to protect them."

Chen Sheng nodded. He knew the importance of the Oirat. Once the Oirat was included in the throne of the Shuofang Protectorate, the 30,000 households on the right wing of the Eastern Mongolians would like to jump straight, and the Oirat tribes would definitely be happy to join forces with them to deal with these mortal enemies.

After leaving the Protectorate Mansion, Gao Yingxiang's team became the guard of the Oirat envoy. The Oirat warriors along the way looked at them with envy in their eyes and a look of eagerness on their faces.

After the flag of the black-backed white horse was lit, many Mongolian warriors on the street showed a look of fear on their faces. They could only look at the Oirat team and spit on the ground with anger, and then they were caught by the people from the Shuofang tribe next to them and whipped it.

"You sluts, you don't know the rules, are Shuofang City, you dare to spit on the street."

A dozen warriors from various tribes in Eastern Mongolia were caught by warriors from Shuofang tribes and whipped them in the street. They could only swallow their anger. Shuofang City had many rules, but those Shuofang people who were originally Mongolians with them suddenly became particular people, and they could not defeat these low-key people who turned over.

Back then, Hekou Fort could catch people who drown everywhere and fine them for whipping. Shuofang City was even more powerful because of the surrender of 30,000 households on the right wing of Eastern Mongolia and the caravans that were coming and going, Shuofang City had many people, and almost every day, outsiders were whipped.

"I hope you will abide by the rules of my Shuofang City."

When the Oirat envoy was sent to the city's post station, Gao Yingxiang informed all the rules that the city had to follow. Looking at the Eastern Mongolian warriors who were stripped of clothes and whipped at the entrance of the street, although the Oirat warriors were secretly relieved, they were also shocked.

"This general, our warrior wants to challenge the general... No, he wants to see the white horse rider that is striking the grassland."

"I am not a general, I am just a tenth chief under the command of the Great Protector. If you want to challenge me, it is not impossible. However, the Great Protector said that if we ride a white horse and swords and guns out of the sheath, we will definitely return after seeing the blood. You are sure they want to challenge me."

Gao Yingxiang looked at the Oirat envoy and said coldly. His soldiers also looked at the fierce Oirat warriors with expressionless expression. Suddenly, a chilling aura rose, which made the Oirat warriors unconsciously draw their swords.

“No need, no need.”

The Oirat envoy felt the cold murderous aura of the white horse knights, and hurriedly said, then turned around and scolded the samurai who were ignorant of the world in Oirat. Although they never looked down on the warriors of the Eastern Mongolian, the white horse knights in front of them could defeat the unparalleled iron cavalry of the Qiexue army with one against five.

"The envoy will go to the post station to rest first, and we will be near the side. If there is any trouble, we will call the post station."

Gao Yingxiang watched the Oirat envoy lead his samurai into the inn, and then he heard the tallest among the samurai still cursing. Although he couldn't understand Oirat's words, he could roughly see that he was dissatisfied.

The bow string exploded, Gao Yingxiang took the bow suddenly, and shot through the helmet of the Oirat warrior with an arrow. Then he put down the bow and said to the frightened Oirat messenger, "I think you are a guest. If you dare to speak rudely again, be careful of your life." After that, Gao Yingxiang led his subordinates away.

"Are you a fool? You can provoke the white horse riding. If you want to die, don't implicate everyone."

Looking at the warrior who had a blood mark on his scalp after taking off his helmet, the Oirat envoy cursed that the speed of Gao Shi Chang's bow and archery was too fast, and he was also a top-notch Batulu in the Oirat.

...

In Shuofang City, with the arrival of the Oirat envoy, the tribes in the Eastern Mongolian region naturally started to stir up trouble. The remaining tribes in Ordos, a 30,000 households on the right wing, didn't care. The new khan of Su Nang, the Tuman tribe, didn't care. Yong Xiebu, who had just surrendered, had some ideas, but he didn't dare to say anything more. Instead, the mission sent by the Chiahua to the Shuofang Protectorate to test the situation felt that this was an opportunity.

"Are you crazy? This is Shuofang City. If we attack those barbarians of the Gulath, do you think that Shuofang Protector can let us go."

In another inn next to the Oirat envoy was a delegation from the Chahar tribe, and the envoy in charge was Zaise, the nephew of the Baixu, who advised him to be the deputy envoy.

"The Protector Shuofang dare not kill me unless he wants to go to war with us."
