Chongzhen Chat Group

In western Mongolia, on the boundless grassland, a cavalry army is advancing. At the front of the team is a civil servant who upholds integrity. Needless to say, this team was the one sent by the Ming Dynasty as an envoy to Western Mongolia.

At this time, Ban Dian, the envoy walking in front, pointed to the front and said to Li Guo, the general guarding him: "After passing the front, we will reach the pastureland of the Heshuote tribe. Be careful next. , remember not to be reckless!”

When Li Guo heard this, he was a little depressed. I didn't do anything, so you told me not to be reckless. Am I a reckless person?

Ban Dian may have seen what Li Guo was thinking, so he said to Li Guo: "Li Guoqi, don't blame me for being a little rude in his words. After all, this trip is related to whether the Hetao area can survive this winter safely. I am Daming Whether we can finally gain a foothold in the Loop is a huge responsibility on our shoulders!"

Feeling a little emotional, he turned back and looked at the vast grassland in front of him and said: "I have been on a mission before, and I have heard about the Heshuo Special Department before. Therefore, the most critical factor in the success of this trip is the Heshuo Special Department. Bu Gushi Khan’s attitude.”

"Oh, I don't know anything about western Mongolia. Please tell me about it, so that I can have an idea." Upon hearing this, Li Guo's attitude was correct and he immediately asked humbly.

Ban Dian couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. He could see that this guerrilla-turned-traitor did have the overall situation in mind. I abandoned the dark side for the bright side before, but now I focus on the Loop, which is really good.

Thinking of this, his attitude became a little more kind, and even less contemptuous of scholars towards warriors. He said patiently: "The Heshuote Tribe is one of the four major tribes in Mongolia, the Oirat Tribe of Western Mongolia. , and it is the most powerful one, and its leader has always been the leader of the Oirat tribe, and the leader of this generation is Gushi Khan."

At this point, his tone suddenly became serious: "Don't underestimate this Gushi Khan. He can be said to be the most outstanding leader in Western Mongolia in recent years!"

"Oh, very powerful?" When Li Guo heard this, he couldn't help but be very interested and asked quickly. Even the personal guards around them pricked up their ears and listened.

Ban Dian nodded solemnly and replied: "Not very powerful, but very powerful! He is the 19th grandson of Habtu Hassar, the younger brother of Genghis Khan. He was brave and good at fighting when he was thirteen, and led his troops to defeat the Gogar tribe. Wan Enemy, won the respect of his subordinates, and then when he was twenty-four years old, his biological mother Ahaihatun passed away. He devoted his family property to spread it widely, and saved his mother, which won the support of his subordinates. It was also here that One year, a conflict broke out between the Oirat tribe and the Khalkha Mongols, and a war broke out. It was he who came forward again and skillfully defused the battlefield, which once again won him great reputation."

Having said this, he suddenly turned back and asked Li Guo: "Do you know the reason why he is called Gushi Khan?"

"..." Li Guo was speechless, thinking how could I know about the Mongolian tribe so far away. But on the surface, he quickly and humbly admitted: "I don't know!"

Ban Dian didn't mean to despise him at all, but immediately answered: "It was the reputation he accumulated continuously that made him, at the age of twenty-four, represent the Gelug sect in Tibetan Buddhism and contact the Mongolian sects. Dongkolhutuktu III Jiawajiacuo, together with the leader of the Khalkha Mongolian tribe, bestowed upon him the title of 'Great National Master'. And this Great National Master, transliterated into our Chinese is Gushi. His greatness, This is evident from this.”

"To have achieved such results at the age of twenty-four is really impressive!" Li Guo nodded honestly and admitted, but he changed the subject and immediately added: "But the general will think that I, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, am even more powerful!"

When he said this, he spoke very quickly and immediately added: "You see, our Ming Emperor used to be just a vassal king, but after unexpectedly ascending the throne at the age of sixteen, he quietly killed the powerful Wei Ni. Then he regained Hetao, the most fertile land in the Yellow River Basin, and obtained the imperial seal that no previous emperor had obtained. This was God's will, and Gushi Khan did not have it! Also, the Ming Dynasty had been losing battles against Jianlu, But this year, the Ming Dynasty’s troops were pointing directly outside Shenyang City. From this, it can be seen that the recovery of Liaodong is just around the corner..."

Because of his chat group, Li Guo was able to get closer to Emperor Chongzhen than others, and he received more divine grace than others. For this reason, he was very grateful to Emperor Chongzhen in his heart, and usually paid more attention to Emperor Chongzhen's affairs than others. At this time, he spoke so eloquently that the guards around him nodded repeatedly and felt sorry for their Ming Emperor. And proud. When he looked at Ban Dian, his head was raised slightly, as if Ban Dian represented that Gushi Khan!

But when Ban Dian listened, he actually didn’t completely agree with it. He did not deny that what Li Guo said was true and he indeed did better than the previous emperors. However, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, during the reign of several emperors, the enemies of the Ming Dynasty attacked the capital city, causing the people in the capital to suffer military disasters? A boastful Nanman easily gained the emperor's trust, causing such serious consequences. These things are stains that the emperor cannot erase!

Comparing Gushi Khan's experience with himself, the Ming Emperor, Gushi Khan should naturally be more powerful. Otherwise, why would you send an envoy yourself to win Gushi Khan’s understanding and establish friendly relations?

Of course, although he thought so in his heart, on the surface he was not stupid enough to bring up these things to refute Li Guo's words. After Li Guo finally finished speaking, he nodded, pretending to be acknowledging it and said, "Although it is true that my Ming Emperor is more powerful, now we are about to reach Gushi Khan's territory. His ability , as I said just now, I believe Li Youyi should be aware of it."

At this point, his face became serious again, and he explained in an extremely serious manner: "After contacting the Heshuo Special Department, Li Youyi must remember what I just said. This mission can only succeed, not fail." .Our lives are not a big deal. In order for Ming Dynasty to gain a foothold in Hetao and to complete our mission, even if we suffer some insults, we must endure it. Do you understand?"

After hearing this, Li Guo felt that something was wrong, but after all, he had not received relevant guidance, nor had he read much history. He was just a bandit, so he couldn't remember that he represented the Ming Dynasty. If they insulted them, wouldn't it be an insult? If Daming said this, he nodded a little depressed and agreed that everything should focus on the overall situation.

Li Guo had a vague feeling that probably Ban Dian had encountered bad reception when he was on a mission to the Heshuo Special Department last time, and now this time, he was afraid that he would not be able to avoid it, so he must have confessed to him in such a special way!
