The rulers of the Horqin tribe, the Borzigit family, began to worry.

For the nomadic people, every loss of young and strong children is the loss of the nomadic people's fighting power. It can be said that the strength of a nomadic people is supported by the young and strong children in those tribes.

The Jurchens lost 12 young and strong children, which was a huge blow to a Jurchens with a population of only a few hundred thousand.

.....

"What should we do? It's not an option for us to just sit here? Just wait for Daming to attack Horqin's tribe?"

In the king's tent, someone finally broke the calm.

"Didn't we send Tanqi to Jianzhou? Although we brought back the news that Jianzhou Jurchen was beaten by Daming, didn't we also bring back Daming cavalry to leave Shenyang City, and there was no sign of going north, but returned to the division in the direction of Daming any news?"

"The news is such a news, but don't you know? The Daming Knight who made a surprise attack on Jurchen's Shenyang City did not return directly to Daming at all. Instead, it stayed outside Jinzhou City for a night, and met Liaodong who came out from Shanhaiguan to greet him. Jinglue, after the meeting called Sun Chengzong, he handed over the property, livestock, and women looted from Shenyang City to the welcoming team and took them back to Daming Shanhaiguan, while this Daming Knight diverted to North Korea. He is still domineering in Seoul, the capital of North Korea, and has no plans to go back to Daming. Who can guarantee that this Daming Knight will not go crazy. Come back and go north to our Horqin Department. You know, our Horqin Department , but the first Mongols to form an alliance with the Jurchens, and provided the Jurchens with a lot of war horses for war, it is hard to guarantee that Daming will not hold a grudge against this and feel revenge."

"Then what should we do? Why don't our Horqin tribes form an alliance with Jianzhou Jurchen, and if we want to come to Daming, we have no reason to attack us." A Mongolian man in Wang's tent said impatiently.

The long speech just now made his head hurt from listening to it, he didn't listen to it all, and he didn't listen to it at all. However, as a nation on horseback, they don't have the delicate mind of the Han people, they can only think with simple thinking, and they can't understand it. Let him grasp a key point, that is, Horqin's alliance with the Jurchens may be retaliated by Ming Dynasty.

In this way, it would be better not to form an alliance.

Even though he said that, the Mongolian man was still very aggrieved. The Central Plains used to be the grazing land of the Jin family. Once upon a time, the men of the Jin family needed to care about the attitude of the Ming people.

"Bastard, do you think the alliance with the Jianzhou Jurchens is what the Horqin Department wants to do? You know, although the Jianzhou Jurchens lost 12 young and strong children, Daming didn't know why, so they gave them back. They left behind [-] young and strong children and did not kill them all, you fool whose brains have been eaten by rats, are you going to put the Horqin tribe on the opposite side of Daming and the Jurchens?"

Obviously, among the men of the Borzigit family, an elder saw the junior's inconspicuous proposal, and angrily scolded him.

"Why don't I just talk about it casually, you have been discussing here for so long, haven't you come to a conclusion?"

The Mongolian man who was scolded shrank his neck in fright. Obviously, this guy was often reprimanded by the elder, and he had developed a conditioned reflex.

However, even after being reprimanded, he still said stiffly: "Besides, our Horqin tribe has the blood of the Golden Family. It's a big deal. When the Ming army comes, the Horqin tribe will gather all the iron cavalry of Horqin to fight with Daming." Let's see if the descendants of the Golden Family are the most powerful, or the Daming who seized the Central Plains of the Golden Family is the most powerful."

This guy is obviously a militant, full of the glory of the Golden Family, simple-minded, passionate, and wants to fight at every turn.

"Bang, bang."

Hearing this, after reprimanding the Mongolian man's elders, he was so angry that he picked up the flat jug beside him, threw it out, and cursed: "You said your brain was eaten by a mouse, but it was really eaten by a mouse." , Really? The 12 Jurchen Eight Banners in Jianzhou can’t defeat the [-] Ming cavalry, don’t you think that the Horqin tribe has lived too long, so you can end the lives of the Horqin tribe as soon as possible?”

The Mongolian man whose flagon was smashed, smiled slowly, picked up the flagon at his feet, walked quickly to the elder, put the flagon back in place, and said, "Hey, Uncle, I am That being said, don't take it seriously."

Facing one of the most powerful uncles in the Horqin tribe, this Mongolian man dared not make any mistakes.

Today's Horqin tribe has long lost the customs of most Mongolians and is gradually becoming Sinicized, so they still respect their elders, especially those elders who are very powerful in the tribe.

Obviously, the elder Borzigit who taught his nephew a lesson is very powerful in the Horqin tribe. He ignored the nephew who put the wine pot on him, but turned his attention to a middle-aged Mongolian man opposite him.

"Sai Sang, please tell me too. After all, your sister married to Jianzhou to become a grand Fujin for Huang Taiji, and your daughter also married to Huang Taiji to be a side Fujin. You are the only one who is most qualified in this king's tent." .”

In the Mongolian tribe, it is very common for aunts and nephews to marry a man. Some Mongolian families are even more absurd. When the father dies, the son will continue to use the woman and continue to have children.

For the Mongolian tribe, a woman is more like a tool for procreation than a family member. Unless she can give birth to many sons, it is possible for her to have a certain status in a Mongolian family.

However, in Mongolian tribes, if a woman is very capable of giving birth to sons, she is often doomed to have a tragic fate. Their men will use it as a reproductive tool to keep giving birth to sons. To grow the whole clan, clan.

In the Mongolian tribe, men are the dominant position, and women are just a living property that can be inherited.

During the field, when the elder brothers in the clan discussed how to deal with Daming and whether they should still maintain the covenant with the Jianzhou Jurchen, they were one of the people who were at the center of the whirlpool of this incident.

Sai San has remained silent.

The Mongolian man who put the flagon saw that the uncle no longer reprimanded him, and felt relieved. When he saw Saisang who was silent, he reminded him: "Brother Saisang, you should hurry up and don't let uncle wait here." Speaking of which, the Horqin tribe said that the person closest to Jianzhou Jurchen is Saisang Ge. This niece has just married Jurchen Huang Taiji, and she did not expect to encounter a surprise attack from the Ming Dynasty. What's going on in the city, it really worries me as an uncle."

"Oh, by the way, there is also my sister Zhezhe."

In the end, the Mongolian man thought of Zhe Zhe and added something.

"Go back to your seat." The elder of the Borzigit family kicked the Mongolian man when he heard what he said, and cursed: "I made Saisang talk, so I made you talk too much." Is it? Horse wine can't stop your mouth, can it?"

"Uncle." The Mongolian man who wanted to say something, saw the elder's stern eyes, sat back in his seat bored, and said nothing.

At this time, the silent Saisang raised his head and saw that all the relatives of the Botzigit family in the king's tent were looking at him, even the Mongolian man who had just returned to his seat, although not Dare to speak, and cast his eyes over.

Seeing that he had no choice but to speak, Sai Sang said in a deep voice: "Uncle, all the Borzigit clan members of the Horqin tribe present, my daughter Bumbutai and younger sister Zhezhe may not be in Shenyang now. , so the relationship between the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Horqin Department is up to you to decide, Saisang dare not say anything."

"how is this possible?"

"Bumbutai is not in Shenyang city, not in Huang Taiji's harem, where is it?"

"Impossible. Since he is not in Huang Taiji's palace, why didn't the envoy sent by the Horqin Department bring back any news?"

"Didn't it mean that Bumbutai and Zhezhe occasionally felt cold? Why are they not here? How did you know, Saisang?"

.....

"Okay, don't talk about it anymore, let Saisang speak for himself." The elder who asked Saisang's opinion just now, saw the chaos in the field, and stopped it loudly.

"Sai Sang, tell me, what's going on? Why aren't Bumbutai and Zhezhe in Shenyang City, or in Jianzhou Jurchen Huangtaiji's palace?"

Saisang glanced at Uncle who was the elder, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Uncle, Saisang also speculates that if Zhezhe and Bumubutai only feel cold occasionally, it is impossible for them to feel cold occasionally at the same time, even if they are together Sickness, wind and cold are not considered serious illnesses, and the envoys sent by the Horqin Ministry will not have a chance to meet. Besides, when Bumbutai was not married to Huang Taiji, Zhezhe had one. In spite of the precedent of getting wind and cold, Huang Taiji still let the envoy sent by Horqin meet with Zhe Zhe."

After a pause, Saisang said the result that he could not predict: "Saisang's younger sister Zhezhe and daughter Bumbutai probably didn't feel the cold because they were not in Shenyang City. The Ming army took them with them when they left, after all, we got the news that when the Ming army left Shenyang City, they took away a large number of young women from the Jianzhou Jurchen in addition to property and livestock."

In fact, Sai San had another guess, but he didn't dare to say it out. This result was also the result that he, as a father and elder brother, didn't want to know the most.

"So, it's really possible." The elder of the Borzigit family thought about it.

In the past, the envoys sent by the Horqin Ministry to Jianzhou Jurchen would always meet Zhezhe in the harem as long as they had the excuse of bringing Zhezhe some hometown specialties.

Only this time was an exception. The envoy who came back reported that when he mentioned that he wanted to see Zhezhe and Bumubutai in the palace, Huang Taiji, who would usually agree wholeheartedly, refused and found a reason Fooled him.

"Is there only one possibility of being taken away by the Ming army?" Sitting on the seat, the Mongolian man who had just shut up hinted, implying the result Saisang didn't want to talk about the most.

"What kind of result do you want? Zhezhe and Bumbutai married Jianzhou Jurchen together for the prosperity of the Horqin tribe. This is not easy. Otherwise, you would have died in Jianzhou Jurchen His cavalry has dismounted." The elder reprimanded him.

Saisang didn't react too much, but felt relieved, and said to the uncle who defended him: "Uncle, this is another guess of Saisang, that is, Zhezhe and Bumbutai met when Daming and Jurchen confronted each other. Unexpectedly, that's why Huang Taiji found a reason to prevaricate us, wanting to continue to maintain the alliance between Jianzhou Jurchen and the Horqin tribe."

"Hey, without Zhezhe and Bumbutai to maintain the alliance between the Horqin Tribe and the Jianzhou Jurchen, it is not impossible for the Jianzhou Jurchen to launch an attack on the Horqin Tribe in the spring of the coming year in order to restore their strength faster." The elder of the Borzigit family said sadly.

As a nomad, he knew very well the Jianzhou Jurchens who were also nomads. The oath was not a constraint, but a bond to maintain the relationship between the two parties.

Otherwise, the Horqin Department will not continue to marry Zhezhe and Bumbutai to Huang Taiji, especially they plan to continue to marry the princesses of the Horqin Department to Jianzhou Jurchen in the future. The relationship between the Horqin Ministry and the Jianzhou Jurchen.

Now, Zhezhe and Bumbutai may be taken away by the Ming army, or die in the war, no matter what the outcome is, it is not what he wants to see, and it is not the news that the Horqin Department wants to get.

This is tantamount to the fact that the Horqin Department not only needs to guard against Daming's retaliation, but also guards against the sudden betrayal of its allies.

In the king's account, the leaders of the Horqin tribe and the men of the Borzigit family were discussing how to deal with the relationship with the Jianzhou Jurchen and how to ease the relationship with Daming.
