Chapter 1185 Sad Batu
“Who is outside?”
Ortai asked unhappily.
"Go back to the Grand Marshal, Urat Tejituba is outside."
"Tuba? What is he here?" Ortai frowned slightly. Since the Shunzhi period, the Urat tribes surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and became one of the loyal allies of the Qing Dynasty. Later, its tribe was divided into three banners by the Qing Dynasty, namely the Front Banner, the Central Banner and the Hou Banner.
Tuba is Taiji of the Urat Front Banner. The Urat Front Banner in later generations is located in the northwest of Inner Mongolia. However, in this era, due to the changes in grassland power and the destruction of the three tribes in the north of the Mobei, in order to win over the Urat Three Banners, Ortai deliberately moved the location of the Urat Three Banners to the east and gave them a new territory.
Ortai did this to win over the Urat tribe, and the other was to guard against the Korqin tribe in the northeast. After all, the Korqin tribe is different from other Mongolian tribes. This tribe has always been a loyal lackey of the Qing Dynasty. The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang came from this tribe. Although it is forced to belong to Ortai due to its form, the boundless connection between Korqin and the Qing Dynasty must be guarded against.
"Let him come in." Ortai didn't know what Batu came for. As a tribe Taiji, he could be said to be of high power. He actually left the tribe and ran to his side. What's more, although Batu was greedy, he was one of the hardcores who supported him. Ortai could not keep the other party out of public or private.
"Master, you have to make the decision for me!" After a while, Batu, who was as fat as a pig, entered the door. When he saw Ortai Batu, he started crying like a child. Sitting on the ground, he cried with tears and snot, so much that he could not look directly at him.
"What are you doing?" Ortai was stunned and didn't understand what Batu was doing. He heard that Batu's wife was very powerful. She kept Batu tightly on weekdays. Even if she found a beautiful woman to enjoy it, Batu had to hide from his wife. Could it be that Batu did something bad and was beaten by his wife? Then she came to let herself make the decision? But if she thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was not right.
"Master, you have to make the decision for me! Woo woo..." Batu continued to cry, the loud crying made Ortai feel upset. He got up and walked forward to support him, and said at the same time, "How can you be like this, Taiji? Get up and say anything well."
After wiped his tears, Batu finally stood up with Ortai's support. To be honest, it was really not easy to get up by his tonnage. Even if Ortai helped him, the guy gasped for a few breaths after he got up. After sitting down, he cried and cried before he could say a word.
"Drink tea, stop crying! If you have something to say, how can you cry?
Ortai shouted angrily, then stuffed a cup of tea directly into Batu's hand. Batu then put away his cry and wiped his tears and talked about the serious matter.
Batu received a report not long ago that the three tribes below him were hit. Although these tribes were not big, only a small tribe of hundreds to thousands, the losses were extremely serious.
In addition to the many warriors killed in the tribe, all the cattle and sheep in the tribe were destroyed by the other party, and even the tribe's headquarters and the herders who had not had time to run away were burned and killed by the other party.
Although Batu is Taiji, his wealth comes from the tribes, and these small tribes all belong to him, so the cattle and sheep in the tribe, including the population, are also Batu’s precious property.
Now, Batu has lost thousands of tribe population and destroyed the cattle and sheep flocks of three tribes. These cattle and sheep flocks together have tens of thousands of heads. Now it is the season for cattle and sheep to grow fat and reproduce. So many cattle and sheep have been lost all of a sudden, which makes Batu feel as if he was cut by a knife.
As Taiji, if something happened to such a big thing in the tribe, Batu must have reacted. So he quickly summoned the tribe's warriors to find and eliminate the bastards who destroyed the cattle and sheep of his tribe. Unfortunately, Batu's people searched a large circle on the grassland, but failed to find the other party. Moreover, the other party seemed to disappear after looting and destroying the three small tribes, and they didn't know where they went.
In order to investigate who was doing this, Batu asked people to find the remaining herders of these three tribes. It was difficult to learn from one of the young herders named Bagen that the person who did this was not an ordinary Mongolian, but it was very likely that the Ming army was disguised.
Bagen said that these people were elite cavalry, one man, two horses or even three horses, and more importantly, they all carried powerful firearms. During the battle, the opponent first fired six-wheeled firearms, and then carried out charge and siege. This kind of tactic and equipment was impossible among the Mongols, and only the Ming army had this possibility.
After learning the news, Batu specially called the man named Bagen to ask himself. When he was sure that it was indeed what Ming Jun did, he was so angry that he even ate less lamb leg that day.
Batu feels wronged! He just eats, drinks, and lives a life of scrambling, and has not provoked the Ming Dynasty. Why did the Ming Dynasty send someone to beat him? And he directly destroyed the three small tribes under his name.
It’s okay for these tribes to forget it, the key is that there are so many cattle and sheep! These cattle and sheep are all Batu’s property. When they think of this, Batu is even more sad than my mother who died and can’t help crying.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Batu was willing to take revenge but was powerless. If this was really done by Daming, there was nothing he could do with his ability.
Although Batu is Taiji, I still know how powerful the Ming Dynasty is now. It would be nice if someone didn't come to beat him. He still wanted to beat him? It was simply a dream.
Helplessly, Batu could only come to Ortai to cry, hoping that Ortai could make the decision for him. If Ortai was willing to stand up for him, he would join forces with other tribes to form a coalition force, and might be able to give himself a sigh of anger.
Patiently waiting for Batu to finish all the whole story, Ortai felt a headache when he looked at Batu looking forward.
Let’s not talk about whether the Ming army that destroyed the three small tribes of Batu were really the Ming army. Even if they were Ming army, Ortai would not be able to stand out for Batu.
At the moment, Ortai was dancing on two eggs, afraid that he would ruin his business if he accidentally did it. Whether it was Russia or the Ming Dynasty, it was both the target of his use and the two sides he could not afford to offend.
In this case, for Batu's loss, Ortai was an idiot. Once he did this, the road to the Ming Dynasty would be completely cut off, and he would have to surrender to Russia. However, compared with the Ming Dynasty, Russia's greed made Ortai more guarded, and Ortai would definitely not do this unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Where is this Bagen? This is not a trivial matter. I naturally cannot sit idly by, but I cannot drag the whole Mongolia into the vortex because of unproven things. Batu, you are Taiji, you should know this." Ortai said after thinking for a while.
"I have brought this Bagen. You can tell if you ask whether it is true or false. Magistrate, this matter is absolutely true. You have to make the decision for me!" Batu's tears fell like they were worthless. It has never stopped since he came in, and I don't know how many tears he had come from.
"Okay, OK, I will definitely make the decision for you. You can go down and rest first, send Bagen here, and wait until I investigate the whole story before making a decision." Ortai comforted and patted Batu on the shoulder.
Batu nodded sobbingly. He knew it would be absolutely impossible to let Ortai send troops immediately, but since Ortai had already made such a statement, he was a little relieved.
After Batu shook his big butt and left, Ortai frowned deeply. Although this matter sounded simple, Ortai noticed other different meanings from it.
At present, he is making progress in negotiations with Russia, and at this time the tribe of Batu was actually attacked by the Ming Dynasty. Although it is said that the other party is the Ming army, only the one-man of the herdsman Bagen, Ortai, with a keen sense of smell, thinks this is very likely to be true.
The Ming Dynasty extended an olive branch to him before and agreed to appoint him as King Shunyi to command Mongolia, but in a blink of an eye it did this. The Ming Dynasty would not have known that Batu was his man, but he just started to attack Batu. It was meaningful!
