Chapter 163 Chahar Department

The mature and steadfast Empress Dowager Su Tai could no longer sit still. The Jurchens not only recruited soldiers in their tribe, but also took away their horses to alienate the internal relations of the Chahar tribe.

Many leaders in the clan had a gap and planned to separate from the Chahar tribe. The Chahar tribe was Lin Dankhan's lifelong efforts. How could she bear to see the Khanate destroyed in her hands?

Although the Ming Dynasty was weak and not a powerful ally, at least it never interfered in the affairs of their clan. The Jurchens were so hateful. They were both nomadic peoples, so they naturally knew how to weaken a tribe.

I heard that the Ming Dynasty had a rare general, and was very trusted by the Ming Emperor, so I quickly sent Boluochi to visit the upstart of the Ming Empire, hoping to explore the Ming Dynasty's intentions.

Boluochi was entrusted by Empress Dowager Sutai this time, but he promised that he would do the job even if he endured humiliation and the empress dowager. How could he meet the Khan and the Empress Dowager in such a shame?

"Sir, what we Khan meant is that the Ming Dynasty was short of horses. We were willing to exchange horses for food and tea, and return to the glory of the old tea-horse market. We were willing to re-align with the Ming Dynasty and fight against the Jurchens together!"

At the negotiating table, whoever shows his trump card first means who loses the opportunity first. Boluochi is angry and embarrassed. His opponent is just a young man, and he is inexplicably defeated.

"Hmph, you still know that the tea and horse market are in conflict. When I was a Ming Dynasty treat you well, why did I treason and surrender to Jiannu? Now I want to trade with me in Ming Dynasty, but your ministry has no food to eat?

Or, you exchanged precious food from the Ming Dynasty and sent it to Jiannu? How can you please your new master?"

Liu Hongjian was both harsh. Although he knew what the people in front of him should be the truth, these Tartars have always bullied the weak and feared the strong. The more tough you are and the more unreasonable you are, the more they are afraid of you.

But if it were an old civil servant who was already old, the Zhihuzhe would tell them, which would only make these mischief feel vulnerable.

"His Marquis, Borochi came with sincerity. Our Chahar tribe is now limited to the brink of collapse. The Jurchens not only want to divide our tribe, but also collect our horses and cattle and sheep.

All the tribes were in panic, and I, Empress Dowager Su Tai, also regretted surrendering to the Jurchens.

By the way, according to the detailed report from our division on the Jurchen side, the Jurchens have collected tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry from various tribes in the Mongolian grasslands, and are now preparing for war…”

"What?" Boluochi was frightened and was interrupted by Liu Hongjian halfway through his words.

The Qing Dynasty recruited troops again? Tens of thousands of troops were recruited? Could it be that Jiannu planned to fight with his clan? Liu Hongjian's face was gloomy and gloomy.

This is a major event related to the Ming Dynasty, and the news is still too late. It seems that the Jinyiwei must immediately set up a whistle to ride outside the pass.

Otherwise, it would be too passive to have such an important matter even if outsiders report it.

But Liu Hongjian doesn't care about thinking too much now.

"I have already written down what you said. I will go to meet the emperor now. Let's wait for the news first!" Liu Hongjian said in a deep voice.

Niu Dainian, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, was waiting outside. When he heard Liu Hongjian's words, he immediately came in to arrange the residences of Boluochi and Gu Ran.

Niu Dainian knew that the tall and big Boluochi was a foreigner, so he specially arranged two capable servants to call it protecting his safety.

Liu Hongjian immediately asked someone to prepare a horse and gallop towards the imperial city...
