Chapter 294
Li Guodong pointed at Hai Lanzhu and shouted to the soldiers: "Clog her mouth!"
Han Dashan took out a piece of rag that he got from somewhere and stuffed it into Hai Lanzhu's mouth, preventing him from shouting.
"Kill Jiannu! Otherwise you will die!" Li Guodong yelled.
For nearly two hundred nights, the crossbow machine that had not been flattened and raised the strings, loaded the crossbow arrows, and aimed at the Korqin people.
The Korqin people were holding a scimitar in their hands and aimed at the Jurchen people. More than a dozen people were trembling and did not dare to step forward. The Ming army immediately pressed down the crossbow machine and hung the knife when they didn't stop at night. The crossbow arrow nailed the more than ten Korqin people to the ground.
The so-called killing of chickens to scare the monkeys, the remaining Korqin people were frightened. They shook their heads desperately, waved their swords and rushed forward, chopping all the more than 30 Jurchens into meat paste.
"Okay! Well killed! Everyone is the hero who killed Jiannu!" Li Guodong walked forward and patted the shoulder of the Korqin captain who was the first to take action.
"I am willing to be loyal to my lord!" The Korqin people, who had the blood of the Jurchens on their hands, had no way out and handed over all the letters of fame. In the future, they could only do their best to do things for Li Guodong wholeheartedly.
During Li Guodong's subsequent years of war, these surrendered Korqin people were more loyal than anyone else. They killed the Later Jin soldiers and were more cruel than the Ming army, because they could only show their loyalty to Li Guodong and gain the trust of their lord.
The Jurchens and the Korqin people attacked the Ming envoy camp at night, but were killed. The Ming envoys attacked the Jin envoy camp and destroyed Hailanzhu's guards and captured Hailanzhu. Such a big disturbance was caused. If the Chahars had not been awakened, it would be too unreasonable.
After hearing the news, the Grand Martial Concubine, Su Tai Grand Martial Concubine, Ezhe and others left the camp and rushed to the camp of the Ming Dynasty envoy.
Just now, when he heard the explosion, Namuzhong was woken up in his sleep, and someone reported to her: "Empress Dowager, something is wrong! The camp of the Ming envoy has caught fire!"
Namuzhong was so scared that he was completely sleepy. He immediately put on his clothes and rushed to Li Guodong and his camp with his guards.
Su Tai's concubine was also awakened and rushed to the Ming army camp where the flames were soaring into the sky.
Ezhe was the same. He was woken up by the explosion and heard that the camp of the envoys caught fire, so he put on his clothes and took people there. Even Wu Yunna came here after hearing the news. Although she didn't like the Ming people who killed her brother, she hated the Jurchens even more. If she wanted to make the Chahar tribe survive, she had to rely on the envoys of the Ming country to climb the road to Mongolia in the north of the desert.
Although it was the darkest time in the early morning, the camp of the Ming Envoys was still burning. The fire illuminated half of the sky. Standing near the camp where the fire was caught, it was as bright as daytime. Namuzhong, Su Tai, Ezhe and others arrived, but they saw that all the tents of the camp of the Ming Envoys were on fire, and the snow on the ground was burned. Bodies were everywhere inside and outside the camp, and the melted snow water was flowing on the ground, and the water was dyed red.
Su Tai was shocked: "The envoy of Ming Kingdom is nothing to do!"
When they saw that Li Guodong and others were fine, Namu Zhong, Su Tai and others breathed a sigh of relief.
"General Li, what's going on?" Su Tai asked.
"General Li, why did he tie Hai Lanzhu up?" Before Li Guodong could answer, Namu Zhong saw Hai Lanzhu being tied up and came up to question.
Li Guodong replied: "Empress Dowager Nangang, you can ask Hai Lanzhu yourself and ask her why she wanted to help the Jurchens attempt to kill this general, in an attempt to destroy the alliance between our Ming Dynasty and Chahar."
After saying that, Li Guodong turned to Su Tai and said, "Empress Dowager Su Tai, the Jurchens and the Korqin people from Hailanzhu have just attacked our Ming envoy camp. Fortunately, our brothers fought fiercely and defeated the enemy. Otherwise, we would have been harmed by them. Because it was the Jurchens who wanted to kill me first, I also killed the Jin envoy!"
"The Jin envoy died in our Chahar tribe. Huang Taiji will definitely be furious. We Chahar people will suffer." Su Tai Grand Marshal sighed.
"Don't worry, Empress Dowager Su Tai. As long as you Chahars are willing to form an alliance with us, we will join forces with the three tribes of Mobei and the Tumotes to fight against the Jin Dynasty! And our Ming Dynasty will also help us." Li Guodong bowed his hand.
Subahai, who had just arrived, was shocked when she saw Hai Lanzhu being tied up. She secretly glad: Fortunately, I did not agree to Hai Lanzhu to deal with the envoy of Ming Kingdom together, otherwise my people would have suffered heavy casualties, and maybe I was tied up now.
Namuzhong was surprised for a while before he came to his senses, put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly, and saluted Li Guodong: "General Li, can you let Miss Hai Lanzhu go for the sake of the Ai family? Although the Khan had never given her a title, she was like a sister with us."
"No!" Li Guodong refused without any doubt, "She offended me today! If I hadn't been for my great fortune, I'd probably have been harmed! What's more, Hai Lanzhu's sister Da Yuer is Huang Taiji's concubine, I can't just let her go! I must bring her back to the Ming Dynasty!"
Now the envoy of the Jin Kingdom died on the territory of the Chahar people. Subahai, who originally planned to take the initiative to surrender to the Later Jin Dynasty, also cut off this idea. She was worried that after she went to the Later Jin Dynasty, Huang Taiji would be on the fire and she would not have a good result. Even if Huang Taiji did not care about this matter and surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty, the Later Jin Dynasty would definitely be rebellious about this matter and would be under the roof. If the Jurchens wanted to take revenge, they could take revenge at any time.
The cloth that blocked Hailanzhu's mouth had been torn off by Namuzhong. Hailanzhu shouted anxiously: "Empress Dowager Huangang, he has killed our Mongolian guests, and take them down quickly!"
Namuzhong sighed: "The envoy of the Jin Kingdom died on the territory of our Chahar people. We offended the envoy of the Ming Kingdom again. There is still a place to allow us Chahar people in the world? Since the envoy of the Jin Kingdom is dead, we might as well submit to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty can give us food, iron and spices, and cloth and silk. Now we have no way out."
At this time, the Great Concubine and Ezhe really had no way out. If they gathered all the remaining troops of Chahar, it would be no problem to take down Li Guodong and others, but what if they had already offended the Great Jin Kingdom and offended the Ming Dynasty, where could they hide?
What's more, Lin Danhan also fought against the three tribes of Mobei, and the Chahars offended the three tribes of Mobei and the Tumotes. If there were no envoys of the Ming Kingdom who came forward to deal with it, how could they join forces with the three tribes of Mobei and the Tumotes to fight against the Jin Dynasty?
Li Guodong took the opportunity to say to Namu Zhong again: "Empress Dowager Nangang, you are no better than Hai Lanzhu. Her sister is Huang Taiji's favorite concubine. She can still be favored by her when she surrenders to the Jurchens, but what about you? After you go, you will be slaughtered."
Namu Zhong saluted Li Guodong: "General Li, now the Chahar tribe has no way out. We will entrust us and our tribes to you. I hope you can keep your promise and help us unite the three tribes in Mobei and Tumote tribes to fight against the Jurchens together!"
"Please rest assured to the Queen Mother! As long as you are willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, I, Mr. Li, can do all these things. After we go back, we will ask the emperor for the enthronement edict and contact the three tribes of Mobei to let you return to the Hetao grassland as soon as possible."
"Then I thank General Li!"
"Then please ask the Queen Mother to take Hai Lanzhu away. She is from the Jin Kingdom. It will be detrimental to you sooner or later to stay here."
Namuzhong widened his eyes in surprise: "Although Hai Lanzhu is from Korqin, she is now a member of our Chahar tribe. Please leave her to us for disposal."
"No!" Li Guodong insisted on the railway line, "Let it be left to you, how do you deal with it? She is disrespectful to me, so we can only deal with it. Queen Mother Nangang, your Chahar tribe has no way out. Since we have formed an alliance, let's hand the criminals over to us. Her Korqin warriors, those who are not dead, have surrendered to me, so she must follow us."
