Chongzhen Chat Group

After Eqirtu and others withdrew from the court, they had been waiting in the post house. Envoys from other tribes also came to him. Speaking of being able to visit the Ming Dynasty's strong military training, they couldn't help but be grateful to Eqirtu. There were even several small tribes who complimented Eqirtu, saying that the Heshuote tribe was really a big tribe, and that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty could think so highly of it that they all benefited from it.

Eqirtu did not expect that his request would actually be granted by the Ming Emperor. He was also proud in his heart, and when he heard the compliment, he felt even happier. Thinking about the whole process, I couldn't help but humbly say: "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty still has the foresight, otherwise if it had been anyone else, I'm afraid he wouldn't have agreed!"

After chatting until noon, they had all finished their lunch and there was no movement. The envoys from these tribes couldn't help but become worried again.

"When I was in the palace, I saw that the officials of the Ming Dynasty seemed very unhappy with our request. Could it be that they have changed their mind?"

"Maybe it's really possible. When we were here, they were concerned about the emperor's face and had no objection. But as soon as we left, they probably admonished the emperor. What if he changes his mind?"

"It seems that tomorrow is the biggest festival for the Han people. Will it have to wait until after the new year?"

"Maybe it will be gone if I drag it on!"

"..."

These remarks made Oqiltu very worried. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't estimate when they would be allowed to visit. If I keep putting it off, there is a chance that it will become obsolete!

With this in mind, Eqirtu thought of a way to mention it to the Ming Emperor when he congratulated him on the New Year.

When they were talking about this matter worriedly, they saw people from the post house coming in accompanied by a military general and said to them: "According to the emperor's decree and the order of the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp and the commander-in-chief of the new army, I am here to pick him up." Everyone, come and visit Beijing Camp!"

Upon hearing this, these Mongolian envoys were so happy that they set off immediately, urging the general to leave quickly, as if they were afraid that the general would regret it again.

When he arrived at the administrative office in the capital, Zu Dashou came out to show his face, said a few polite words, and then went about his business. Mao Yuanyi, the chief instructor of the New Army, took these Mongolians to visit.

After leaving the Yamen and walking along the way, seeing the behavior of the soldiers in the Beijing camp, Eqirtu and his party began to feel a little restrained. They didn't say much, but they were just evaluating the scenes they saw in their hearts.

To be honest, Eqirtu is the one who is going to succeed Khan after all. Gushi Khan has been deliberately training him, if he has some vision. The soldiers from the Beijing camp he saw looked really good, but compared to what he had expected, they still felt a little worse. Therefore, after slowly adapting to getting along with Mao Yuanyi, he did not talk much as before.

After walking for a while, I turned around a building and suddenly it became clear that I was in a large school field.

At this time, the school grounds were quite empty. Only in an area inside, which looked isolated at first glance, were many soldiers training. Mao Yuanyi saw them looking over and introduced with a smile: "That's the New Army training camp. They are now doing the last training of the year."

Upon hearing this, Eqirtu and others' eyes lit up, and their steps could not help but speed up a lot. Mao Yuanyi noticed this detail and couldn't help but feel quite proud.

After leading them closer, they stood and watched the training of the new army. There are about a thousand people doing queue training. As the slogans rang out, the officers and soldiers of the new army changed their formations.

Eqirtu watched carefully and observed every move of the new army soldiers. After a while, he asked Mao Yuanyi, "Excuse me, how long have you been training this new army?"

When the other Mongolian envoys heard this, they couldn't help but look away and turned around, wanting to hear the answer.

"It lasted two months and eleven days from the time of assembly to training!" Mao Yuanyi blurted out without any hesitation.

When Eqirtu heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised and said: "It's only been two months, how can you train so well in such a short time?"

It could be heard from his tone that he seemed to be a little unconvinced, and the expressions of other Mongolian envoys also had similar meanings. Obviously, they felt that Mao Yuanyi might have told lies to save face.

Mao Yuanyi listened, smiled and replied: "How long do you think it will take, or how long does your training take to reach this level?"

Although he spoke with a smile, there was a hint of contempt in his words, which made Eqirtu and others feel a little embarrassed. They couldn't admit that this was true, right?

Perhaps in order to change the subject and resolve the embarrassment, or indeed, an envoy from a small tribe had doubts and asked: "What's the use of just doing this queue drill?"

Hearing this, Eqirtu immediately remembered what was painted on the mural. The Ming army was fighting in formation, and the corpses of the captives were piled up like mountains.

After hearing this, Mao Yuanyi glanced at the man, thought for a while and said, "This question is simple, just let your followers go up and fight."

Naturally, these envoys were escorted by their entourage, but they all stayed at the gate of the capital camp. After hearing this, Eqirtu and others were also interested in seeing the result. They did not refuse and immediately agreed.

There were about a hundred guards from each tribe recruited, and they all seemed to be capable people. They were obviously carefully selected from the tribes. Mao Yuanyi looked at these people, turned around and said something to the guards following behind. The guard immediately ran over and conveyed the order to the general in charge of the drill over there.

Here, Mao Yuanyi led these Mongolian envoys to the generals' platform, and let the two sides compete on the school field in front of the generals' platform.

The ones on the left are Mongolians, all of them look strong and capable; while the ones on the right are the same number of New Army soldiers, and they are inferior to their opponents in terms of stature. After the two sides were ready, the contest began.

To the surprise of the Mongolians on the general stage, the results of the contest came out in just a moment. The officers and soldiers of the new army cooperated with each other, attacking and defending. After losing about thirty people, they killed about a hundred Mongolians on the opposite side.

This result surprised many Mongolians. Especially the small tribe messenger who said that the formation was useless remained silent.

Eqirtu knew that the guards of his own tribe did not cooperate with each other, and it was not uncommon for them to be defeated when facing an army in formation. After all, Jianlu was so fierce that he couldn't defeat the new army formed in formation. Because of this understanding, he did not care about the results, but carefully observed every move of the new army.

Not to mention, after such a long period of observation, he really discovered something.
