The next morning, not long after Gushi Khan got up, his eldest brother Bai Bagas's eldest son Eqirtu broke into his camp. Although he was greeted with courtesy, it was obvious that he was a little dissatisfied. He asked, "Uncle Khan, I heard that not only did you personally welcome the Ming envoy yesterday, but you also treated him with Mongolia's most noble etiquette?"

Gushi Khan felt his dissatisfaction, but he was not angry. He just smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

After his eldest brother Bai Bagas was killed, he was supported as Gushi Khan. In other words, he actually inherited the position of Khan from his eldest brother. When he first succeeded to the throne, he had said that after him, the Khan throne would be passed to his eldest brother's eldest son, Eqirtu.

Now he is forty-eight years old, and Oqirtu is also an adult. He was sent out for training. He happened to come back in the morning and heard what happened yesterday.

When Eqirtu heard Gushi Khan's rhetorical question, he couldn't help but said angrily: "You are the noble Gushi Khan, how could you lower your status so low and treat a mere envoy of the Ming Dynasty with courtesy? Last time, you could That’s not how it’s done!”

"This moment, that moment!" Gushi Khan said with a smile, "The Ming Dynasty, with its northwest army, suddenly wiped out the Tumote tribe with lightning speed and killed Bu Shitu. You shouldn't be able to Don’t you know?”

"So what?" Eqirtu retorted a little unconvinced, "That Bushitu couldn't even defeat Lin Danhan, and escaped like a lost dog. With that little strength, my nephew can also kill him. !”

At this point, when he saw Gushi Khan opening his mouth to speak, he quickly said again: "Uncle Khan, my nephew remembers that you said that it has been nearly three hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. He is old. Now even Liaodong is We couldn't protect ourselves, and we were beaten so hard by the Jianzhou Jurchen Division that we couldn't even fight back. With such strength, why should we and the Shuote Division be afraid of them?"

After hearing this, Gushi Khan couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Eqirtu, you can't always look at people with the same old eyes. You have to learn to observe and grasp the details!"

At this point, he paused, and seeing that Eqirtu seemed a little confused and unconvinced, he explained in detail: "I have said that before, but it is true, but that was what I said before. Judging from the news we have heard in the past year, the Ming Dynasty is showing signs of resurgence. Old ideas must keep pace with the times. If you remain stubborn, you will pay the price sooner or later!"

"Is it because of the destruction of the Divination Rabbit?" Eqirtu asked a little unconvinced.

After hearing this, Gushi Khan shook his head and said: "Before destroying the Stone Rabbit, the Ming Dynasty also destroyed Lin Dan Khan. If it was just Lin Dan Khan, it could be said that there were coincidences and other reasons, but he continued to destroy him with the power of thunder. The divination stone rabbit. This is not just a coincidence, it can only show that the country is still very strong..."

Having said this, he sighed in his heart when he saw that Eqirtu still looked unconvinced. My nephew has just grown up, and he is so young and energetic that he really cannot see the essence of the matter.

With this in mind, he looked at the sky and felt that there was still time, so he continued: "You have to know that the Ming Dynasty is fighting on all sides. But even so, the Ming Dynasty can still mobilize troops and destroy the Chahar tribe one after another. And the Tumote Department, its strength will definitely not be inferior. There is another key point..."

"What's the key?" Eqirtu asked a little puzzled.

Gushi Khan's face became a little more serious and said: "If I were the leader of the Jurchens in Jianzhou, I would definitely not let the Ming Kingdom occupy the Hetao area. Otherwise, after the Ming Kingdom has the fertile Hetao area, it will definitely have a powerful impact on Liaodong. Pressure. But you see, it is almost the end of the year, but the Ming Dynasty can still mobilize troops to crusade against the fortune teller in the west. This shows that the Ming Dynasty is definitely confident in Liaodong. In other words, Liaodong's I'm afraid the Ming Kingdom has the upper hand in the situation. Otherwise, I believe that the Jianzhou Jurchens have only risen in such a short period of time, and their leader will definitely not be a mediocre person, and they will not think of this and fail to respond."

At first, Eqirtu was a little unconvinced, but after hearing it and thinking about it carefully, he felt that Gushi Khan's inference was reasonable. With this understanding, he was suddenly a little surprised, thinking in his mind, how did Mingguo become so powerful?

While he was thinking, Gushi Khan was still talking: "The Ming Kingdom is far away from us, and the Western Regions are not the focus of the Ming Kingdom. This means that the Ming Kingdom has taken the initiative to become our enemy. The possibility is very small. Unless we and the Shuote Ministry take the initiative to provoke the Ming Dynasty, then a war may break out. If this is the case, then why do we and the Shuote Ministry still want to provoke the Ming Dynasty and take the initiative to provoke a powerful war? A war of confrontation? Needless to say, if we lose, even if we win, how much loss will our Heshuote Department suffer, and will we get enough benefits?"

This series of questions made Eqirtu a little confused. Faintly, he felt that what Gushi Khan was doing was well thought out.

"Now our Heshuote Department is already in enough trouble. It's not like you don't know about Tibet, Qinghai, Khalkha Mongolia, and even Tsarist Russia. The focus of our Heshuote Department is What, it’s clear at a glance. Under the current circumstances, do we still want to take the initiative to provoke and provoke the Ming Kingdom far in the east to become the enemy of our Heshuote Department? "

Gushi Khan's question made Eqirtu unable to answer it. The matter has been made so clear. He is a normal person. As long as he is not hostile to Mingguo from the beginning and has enmity with Mingguo, he will know what to do!

"The Han people have a word that I think is very good!" Seeing Eqirtu paying attention to him, Gushi Khan said with a smile: "Distant diplomacy and close attack, I think this is what the Heshuote tribe and other forces maintain. A principle of relations. Having good relations with the powerful Ming Dynasty will help us and the Shuote Ministry handle other matters. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty has expressed goodwill to us before and is willing to trade with us. In this case, we and the Shuote Ministry Why not just go with the flow, it’s better to have one more friend than one more enemy, right?”

"Uncle Khan is right!" Eqirtu finally acknowledged Gushi Khan's point of view and nodded in reply.

When Gushi Khan saw it, he was very pleased. He stepped forward and patted Eqirtu on the shoulder and said: "Then you stay with me today and see how I deal with the relationship with the powerful country. After this matter is over, , you go to Ufa on my behalf to make contact with Tsarist Russia. It is best to handle it the same way I handled the relationship with the Ming Dynasty. Only in this way can we and the Shuote Department have the energy to do the other two things. ,understand?"

"Okay!" Eqirtu nodded after hearing this. He was a little curious. He didn't know how Gushi Khan would communicate with the Ming envoy to achieve such a goal.

Thanks to Yang Zijiu, fugudoku for the reward!
