Chongzhen Chat Group

What made these people from the Bute tribe even more unexpected was that they actually met people from the Naiman tribe. At first sight, he was almost exposed, but thanks to Lord Tabu's hint, he was able to pass the test safely.

But before they could do anything else, they heard from the Ming soldiers that the envoys from the Oirat tribe were coming. The governor personally received them and arranged for them to go to the capital to pay tribute before the end of the year.

On this day, the heavy snow stopped, and the depth of the snow was probably as deep as an adult's knees. But even so, many people came out to see the envoys from the Oirat tribe, especially those from the Mongolian tribe, and even their whole families came out.

Zhutabu and others were also accompanied by Ming army soldiers and stood in the crowd to watch. They found that the four largest tribes in the Oirat tribe seemed to have come, and they seemed to bring a lot of tributes with them, far exceeding the amount they had heard of some Mongolian tribes paying tribute to the Ming Emperor. As a result, they were very worried. I was surprised, and couldn't help but think that the Ming Dynasty was actually so powerful that even the Oirat tribe from far away in the Western Region came to pay tribute, and it seemed that they were sincere!

From this point of view, it is no wonder that the Qing Dynasty lost one battle after another. It was not that the Qing Dynasty was weak, but that the Ming Dynasty became stronger!

They didn't know that the reason for the grand occasion they saw was because Emperor Chongzhen gave remote instructions through Li Guo, which caused misunderstandings and competition among the Oirat tribes.

What they didn't expect was that the accompanying Ming soldiers pointed to a few people in the tribute team who were leaving and introduced: "The young man at the head is a member of the Heshuote tribe, the leader of the four major tribes in Oirat, and belongs to Gushi Khan. The nephew's name is Oqirtu. According to rumors, he is likely to succeed the Khan. And, that one, from the Jungar tribe..."

When Lord Tabbu and others heard this, they were all so shocked that they did not hear clearly what was said next.

Gushi Khan's nephew is likely to succeed the Khan in the future. Such a person is sent as an envoy to the Ming Dynasty. How much attention must be paid to this tribute!

In the past, Eastern Mongolia was not bad either. Lindan Khan of the Chahar tribe commanded Eastern Mongolia, and its strength was not weaker than that of Western Mongolia. However, Lin Dan Khan went against the grain and even changed his religious beliefs and wanted to annex various tribes, which led to the fragmentation of Eastern Mongolia and finally ended up in the current situation. With this background comparison, Zhutabu and others were even more surprised by the Western Mongolia's tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

What they never expected was that the reason why Western Mongolia was so grand was actually a misunderstanding. Gushi Khan had always heard how powerful and powerful the Jianzhou Jurchens in the east were, and they had conquered many Mongolian tribes in the east. But even so, they were still defeated by the Ming Dynasty, so he had the foundation for paying tribute.

And Oqiltu would send someone because Gushi Khan wanted him to confirm with his own eyes whether the situation in the east was like that! It is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

The envoys from the Mongol tribes in Oirat have gone away, but the crowd of people watching have been unwilling to leave for a long time, still looking at the departing black spots in the distance of the grassland. It was not easy to discuss before, but now that the officers and soldiers left, they all started talking excitedly.

"I never thought that in my lifetime, I would see people sent from the Oirat Mongolia. Did you see that even the future king of Oirat is coming!"

"Yes, no matter whether it was the time of King Shunyi or the time of Lin Dan Khan, it was impossible for them to invite people from the Oirat tribe to come over, let alone pay tribute!"

"The Ming Dynasty is mighty! Have a good life in the future!"

"Is life difficult now? In the past, when you were working as a cow or a horse, you had to worry about starving and freezing to death. Look now?"

"Yes, yes, I was wrong. In today's day, it is better to live in the Ming Dynasty!"

"..."

Listening to the noise of the Mongolian and Chinese languages ​​coming to their ears, Zhutabu and others looked at the black spots in the distance and couldn't help but fell silent.

At this time, a personal guard from the Governor's Mansion came and ordered them to follow him to see the Governor.

The people from Naiman's Department and Bart's Department looked at each other, a little speechless. They did not expect that the governor of Guihua City in the Ming Dynasty would receive them together instead of meeting them separately one by one. So what should I say? Shouldn’t they all be the same?

Lord Tabbu watched the people in the Naiman tribe glance at him from time to time, thought about it, and then made a decision.

The Governor's Palace, located in the inner city of the original Guihua City, is also where the royal palace is located. It was built during the reign of Anda Khan.

As these Mongolians walked along, looking at the scene here and the Ming soldiers standing guard, they couldn't help but feel very emotional. I think back then, Anda Khan was such a hero. He led the Tumote tribe to rise in Tumochuan and firmly occupied this fertile land. But now, the glorious palace built on the grassland is owned by the Ming Dynasty. The people living here are no longer Mongolians, but naturalized governors of the Ming Dynasty. The world has really changed!

Entering the lobby of the Governor's Palace, it is also the original main hall of the palace, but has been slightly changed. On both sides stood civil and military officials from the Ming Dynasty. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be from both Mongolian and Han ethnic groups. Sitting on the main seat was a majestic middle-aged man wearing a scarlet robe, looking at them.

When Lord Tabu saw it, he was the first to greet him and said loudly in Ming Dynasty Mandarin with an accent: "The chief Tabu of the Bute tribe has met the Governor of the Ming Dynasty, and the Bute tribe is willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty!"

The reason why he took the lead was because he didn't want the people from Naiman's department to reveal his identity first. In that case, it would be embarrassing!

His example, as well as what he saw and heard, left the Naiman tribe with no other choice, dispelled their concerns, and also expressed their intention to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

Hong Chengchou already knew their purpose of coming. After a set of official words came down, he asked them to surrender. The heads of each tribe personally took the surrender letter and went to the capital to present it to the Ming Emperor. As for their clansmen, they must undergo reorganization before they can become Ming people and enjoy the benefits of Ming Dynasty.

The chief of the Bart tribe and others only made one request, that is, they did not want to be reorganized by Guan Ning. After all, Guan Ning's army killed many of their tribesmen, and they felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

Regarding this request, Hong Chengchou nodded to express his understanding. As long as they could submit a surrender form to the emperor and get the emperor's permission, he would write to the court to agree to their request.

After some communication, the people from the two tribes immediately rushed back to inform the tribes of the results. While moving to Guihua City, they had to rush to the capital to submit their surrender.

Everything that happened in Guihua City was naturally reported to Emperor Chongzhen in advance through the chat group. He was not surprised at all by this.

After some consideration, Emperor Chongzhen ordered the Honglu Temple to wait for the envoys from the Oirat Department to wait until they arrived.

There should be another chapter tonight.
