Chapter 1055 The Right Wing
"Open the city gate! I am Mrs. Zhongshun personally appointed by the Son of Heaven. Why don't you allow me to enter the customs and ask your town to meet me in the city in the future!"

At the gate of Shahukou, the third lady on the grassland on the back of a strong iron-shoeed horse swept the wind blowing across the wilderness in a red robe.

Her guards were all resting in a barren wine shop on the back slope of the undulating official road three hundred steps away from the city gate. More than a dozen weather-stained men on the prairie sat on benches wearing bright frontier cotton armor, their palms never leaving their swords and bows, The evil spirit all over his body and the brown blood stains on his armor made the shopkeeper dare not speak.

The store owner has not seen such a tense situation between Ming and Meng for many years. On the contrary, they are used to seeing the frontier soldiers asking for wine money from Hu'er in the past, and Hu'er intercepting Hanjia and vying to sell their skins.

However, between ten months and ten months, prosperity has become a mirror image.

Farther to the north, there were still a few rangers on guard. At this moment, the chaotic situation on the grassland made them even more nervous.

The Ming army, Xin Ai Huang Taiji, either of them may kill them... These simple-minded warriors who are loyal to the leader can't figure it out anyway. Mother left the little prince to study in the Imperial Prison. After a few months of mediocrity, why did he suddenly break his promise and deploy heavy troops on the Great Wall, triggering civil strife in Mongolia.

After all, San Niangzi didn't wait for the town general to enter the city, because the city gate opened, and there was a man wearing a peacock scarf robe riding a horse and clapping his hands away. It was Wu Dui, the servant of the Ming Dynasty.

"Wu Gong, why?"

She has always had a deep friendship with Wu Dui, and she used to visit the Xuan Mansion often. Even the red bone brocade dress she is wearing now was given by Wu Dui. Although there is a difference in age between them, Wu Dui Treat her as kindly as you would treat your own daughter.

But at this moment, Wu Dui shook his head slightly and sighed, and he rode his horse to lead her into the city gate. This scene made the third lady's heart skip a beat, and she hurriedly rode her horse to follow.

More than ten horse guards also entered the city gate, leaving only two horses to pass messages outside the city.

Not long after, Wu Dui entered the side hall of the yamen in the city, and then asked, "My cavalier is wounded, was he attacked on the way here?"

"When is it that Mr. Wu still has the mind to take care of these things, Buta Shili, Buta Shili was killed by the emperor?" San Niangzi spoke very eagerly when she mentioned her son: "Xin Ai Huang Taiji said that he would call all the ministries and thousands of households, saying that the emperor Smash Buta Shili, and send a large army across the frontier to attack us, is this true?"

"Could it be that the emperor is dissatisfied with the exchange market? For several years, I have devoted myself to managing the exchange market for the imperial court. I have led troops to wipe out the two rebellious tribes. Wouldn't it be good if the flames of exchange have died down? Why do we have to raise the army again."

Wu Dui was very embarrassed at first. He pondered over how to explain the actions of the Ming army to San Niangzi, but after San Niangzi asked several questions one after another, he was amused. All of this eased up a little, he said: "It's nothing to do with Buta's salute, the little prince is living a good life in Beijing."

"The Heavenly Army has indeed left the fortress, but they are not going to attack Tumochuan."

The third lady shook her head, she didn't believe the latter sentence, and said: "There are three times more troops stationed at the city gate than when the exchange market was closed, and the exchange market is also closed. If it is not for the purpose of attacking the board, why should it be so?"

"Guihua City doesn't know yet? The imperial court wants to attack the barbarians. Tumen disrespects education and has repeatedly sent troops to close the fortress. His Majesty will send troops to encircle and suppress Tumochuan as a punishment. As for whether this battle will affect Tumochuan, it's not up to me, but on the third day." Lady and King Shunyi."

"If the King of Shunyi intends to help the local barbarians, then the frontier fortress will start fighting again. If the King of Shunyi knows the kindness of the emperor, the market will reopen after the war is over. There is no need to worry... How is the King of Shunyi in Guihua City?"

My answer is how is it in Guihua City?

The third lady could only shake her head silently: "Xin Ai Huang Taiji cut off the road to the east and sent envoys to persuade the King of Shunyi, saying that the court killed Buta Shili and wanted to attack him with Qingtaiji. Guihua City was disturbed by him. Panicked, although the King of Shunyi doesn't believe in Huang Taiji, he can't stop him from being alarmist all the time——Is the emperor really treating Buta well?"

The Qingtaiji mentioned by the third lady is the Qingba Dutaiji, who is Alda's nephew.

In the past, the Tumed tribe was just a small tribe attached to the barbarians. Tumen Khan was the real Mongolian Khan. Neng, Alda in the middle, San Niangzi in Guihua City, Ji Xinai in Huangtai in the east, and Jibaduer in Qingtai in the east are all from the Tumote Department.

As early as decades ago, the Mongolian Khan was forced by Alda to move [-] left-wing Mongolians to the south, and now the best horse farms have been taken over by Xin Ai.

In response to San Niangzi's repeated questioning, Wu Dui said helplessly: "Your Majesty said that he would wait for Buta Shili to grow up and become the Mongolian Great Khan, and come to do great things with him. How could he harm Buta Shili? The imperial court has already done everything in the frontier fortress. You must persuade King Shunyi on behalf of the Son of Heaven, that Tu Mochuan, the native tribe that the imperial court is about to attack, should not make foolish decisions."

"It is a good thing for King Shunyi that the local barbarian forces are damaged; Xin Ai has always had the idea of ​​embezzling the three guards of Wuliangha, and he is unwilling to join Daming. The tribute horses presented by his tribe every year are sent by King Shunyi for him. Everyone knows the matter, if only he participated in this war, the emperor would definitely not punish Tu Mochuan."

The third lady's face is cloudy and uncertain, she really doesn't want to tell Wu Dui that Saibei Shengshi has long lost the vigor of his prime of life, and has been driven crazy by this incident recently, and she is very worried every day in Guihua City Altan Khan, who had been ill for a long time, was pissed off by this incident.

It wasn't that he was mad at Ming's Chen Bing at the border, but that his nephew was played and applauded by several letters from the Ming Dynasty. The most brave and wishful eldest son was full of thoughts of being an enemy of Daming, and even faintly showed the appearance of seizing power.

Altan Khan, who annexed right-wing Mongolia when he was young, deterred left-wing Mongolia from moving south, and indirectly led to the disintegration of Uliangha Sanwei, was still able to convince the public even though he was old and seriously ill, but he could not convince his son of the decision to return to Ming Dynasty.

"If Huang Taiji insists on uniting with the local barbarians, what will happen to the court?" The third lady has no other straw to save her life. At this moment, she can only rely on Wu Dui: "Will the emperor turn his anger on Buta and salute?"

Wu Dui shook his head and said, "The Son of Heaven will not blame other people for their faults. If Xin Ai joins forces with the barbarians, the imperial court will send troops to attack Xin Ai. When the war is over, the trade with Tu Mochuan will continue as usual. As long as King Shunyi does not If you rebel against the court, the court will not make things difficult for King Shunyi."

"If there are such rumors at other times, you only need to go to Beijing and you will know that this is Huang Taiji's nonsense, but not at this time. For the people behind us, the two sides are fighting at this time, and it will be life-threatening for everyone."

After pondering over the words for a moment, the third lady clutched her skirt and asked in a low voice: "Then what if King Shunyi wants to stop this battle and restore the border to the way it was before the chaos started?"

Wu Dui could only shake his head in return.

He pointed to the letter beside the table and said, "Your Majesty's mission to the three parties is to prevent King Shunyi from doing anything, and he must do nothing."

"No matter what he does, as long as he does it, war will come."

"Especially you, you should not help Xin Ai, but attack him together with the imperial court. The more Xin Ai's tribe is weakened in the war, the easier it will be for Buta Shili to get more in the future - this kind of benefit, you Do you know?"
