Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 322: Let’s do Ban Dingyuan once (Part )

Marriage has always been a diplomatic method. Now that the opponent has entered into a marriage alliance with the Qing Dynasty, Junggar cannot remain indifferent in diplomacy. Batur Hutaiji immediately sent an envoy to Beijing to propose marriage to a Qing princess for his eldest son, Chechen; Leaders of powerful factions such as Bu Erdeni, Chechen Khan Shuolei, and Hutai Jiombu Erdeni of the Tuohite tribe sent envoys requesting peace; in order to stabilize the internal affairs, they also sent envoys to Tereut, Nogai, and Du who were affiliated with Junggar. The leaders of the Erbot and Turgut tribes granted marriages and married more than ten Dzungar noble girls in one go.

The marriage, at least on the surface, was festive, and the city of Hobokseri was immersed in joy.

The beautiful Ob River is picturesque. Many Oirat tribes use this place as a pasture in spring and summer. The Durbots, Turghuts, and Junggars all left legends here. Nowadays, with the Durbot people moving to the Seven Rivers Basin, the Turghut people moving west to the Ejile River, and the Junggar people moving their focus southward after obtaining the pastures near Urumqi and Barkol, there are only some scattered small villages left here. tribe.

The newly hunted yellow sheep tasted very good, and a whole sheep feast was set up in Emo Gentaiji's big tent. Jiubatai Jimorgen and Shuoqi, Emogen, Ayush, Mergenconamu, Aldar, Shangdu Batur, Shangkayi, Qingbatur, and Kudet are all here. .

After thirty years of drinking and five flavors of food, Emo Gentaiji got to the point, "Everyone, Sonomu Celing, the envoy of Emperor Qianyuan of the Wei Kingdom, has been here for a few days. Everyone is very concerned about the surrender of the Wei Kingdom. What is your attitude? You might as well tell me."

"Brother, the Kingdom of David is a dragon, and the Dzunggar people are tigers. We don't have to join in the fight between dragons and tigers. We just need to remain neutral." Ayushtaji spoke first, and he won a round of approval as soon as he finished speaking.

"In today's situation, David is strong and Junggar is weak. We should embrace the strong and submit to David." Morgan and Shuoqi have different views.

"I thought I should kidnap the guard and hand it over to the Dzungars. The Oros people in Tomsk are becoming more and more restless. Not long ago, more than 20 Cossacks invaded my territory and kidnapped seven herdsmen and a large number of livestock. . Every time the Oros invaded the south these years, Batur Hutaiji would send troops to rescue us. As a Mongolian man who values ​​friendship the most, how could we do such a treacherous thing as surrendering to the defenders? Besides, the defenders are far away from us, and the Junggar tribe is far away from us. It is not the wise man's behavior to seek the distance at the expense of the near." Shangdu Batur's views are diametrically opposed to those of Morgan and Shuo. Although the nine tribes are headed by Emogen Taiji, he is the strongest individually and he is Emogen's uncle. He has never been convinced by his nephew, so he hugged the Junggar people tightly. The wily and scheming Batur Hutai Ji Le was able to cultivate influence among the Turhut people, so they naturally supported him in every possible way.

"Since everyone has different opinions, let the envoy go hunting and enjoy the scenery with us first," Emogen Taiji said with a smile. This is an old rule. Whenever everyone disagrees, just let it go and discuss it next time.

Choros Danzin, the envoy of Junggar, came to the pastoral area of ​​the Dulbert people. He first visited the three governors of Galdang Haledai, Ileden Ubas and Mergentaiji who had already settled their households. Chief Albert conveyed the order of Batur Hutaiji to grant marriage. The grandson of Galdang Haledai, the grandson of Elden Ubash, and the son of Mergentaiji had the honor to become the Tabunang of the Junggar tribe. (Horse attached), the three of them were overjoyed, served wine to celebrate, and gave them generous gifts.

Danjin's father was Mergen Daiqing, the second younger brother of Batur Hutaiji. He inherited his father's mature and steady character since he was a child, so he won Hutaiji's trust and was entrusted with envoys to Dulbert and Tu. Erhute's important task. He skillfully used diplomatic skills to carefully win over the three Dulbert tribes who were loyal to Junggar, and achieved good results. Suletan's attempt to persuade these three tribes to surrender failed.

Among the three Taijis, Mergen Taiji was the most loyal to the Junggar tribe. He was the son of the old Taiji Erke Yilden of the Dulbert tribe. Erke Yilden was the eldest brother of Daleitaish. He was highly respected in the tribe and was appointed as the tax collector of the Seven Rivers Basin after surrendering to Junggar. Unexpectedly, Kundulun Ubas Dataiji and Duerbote tribe Wutaiji in the Qihe River Basin surrendered to the Weiguo. They were angry that Erke Yildeng conquered them violently and nailed them to the wooden stakes. The death of his old father was so tragic that Mergen Taiji was filled with hatred for Kundulun Ubashi and Wu Taiji of the Dulbert Tribe in the Seven Rivers Basin. He also hated the Kingdom of David, which made him even more hateful. Listen to the Junggar people.

"This is my gift to Danjin Taiji." Mergen Taiji ordered his men to escort him over.

"Who is this?"

"This is the envoy sent by the traitor Sultan of Weiguo to persuade our troops to surrender. I ordered people to kidnap him and present him to Huitaiji." "Okay, okay! Huitaiji will definitely be moved by your loyalty." Seeing this gift, Danjin was relieved and took the trouble to come to the fourth part of Dulbert, which had not yet been registered as a household. Orros, Babai, Erqin Batur, and Burbusch greeted him respectfully as usual, but Denjin always felt that there was something strange about these four people.

"Congratulations to the four Taijis. This time I have brought the marriage decree from Huitaiji. Please each of you choose a son to marry a noble daughter of the Junggar tribe," he tried with a smile.

"Oh, it is really a blessing for us to be able to marry with the Junggar tribe." Orros's face turned into a smile.

"Yes, I heard in the morning that the girls in Junggar are as beautiful as flowers. My boy is so lucky." "Please bring Taiji to the tent and drink the wine." "Yes, yes, you must drink this festive wine well." Everyone talked. Expressing joy with a lot of tongues.

The crowd gathered around him and entered the big tent. The wine and meat were fragrant, and the host was gracious and hospitable. They didn't notice anything unusual. Danjin laughed dumbly, what happened to him? Become suspicious.

Talking about things was most refreshing at the banquet. Everyone quickly discussed the matter of marriage. Sitaiji also gave him a generous gift. Everything was so natural.

"From now on, we are all a family. Please do not let down Huitai's good intentions. I will take my leave." Danjin took up the wine bowl and bid farewell to the host.

"Taiji is going back to Hoboksali so soon? Why don't you stay in my tent for a few more days?" Orros persuaded him to stay.

"I still have to go to the Turgut tribe. Hutaiji betrothed the daughter of Chuhuer Ubas Dataiji to the son of Emogentaiji, and the daughter of Shaba Tutaiji to Shangdu Batur. The grandson of Taiji. I still have to rush to read out the decree granting the marriage."

"Oh, I met an eminent monk a few days ago. He told me that the Red Luan star shines in the west, and the Lord of Desert is filled with happy events. Sure enough! Since you have something important to do, I can't force you to stay. I wish you will arrive soon. Success," Orros said with a smile.

Danjin was a forthright person, and after toasting everyone present with a bowl of wine, he left.

As soon as the front leg left, Orros, the rear leg, ordered his confidants to bring a letter to Sonom Celing: "The Junggar envoy has gone to the nine tribes of Turgut, and I hope to make preparations as soon as possible."
