Killing Two Birds with One Stone, Stealing Weapons!
"Why are you here?"
In Peace Stronghold, Jin Taishi, who had just woken up, looked at his son, Dergler, who was sitting by his bed, and asked in surprise.
"Ama, didn't you ask me to lead my clansmen south to Taiping Stronghold and attach myself to Commander Zhu Ke?”Dergler asked suspiciously.
He had not seen Ama Jintai Stone for a long time after he had led his clansmen to Taiping Village.
That Zhu Yu was always finding excuses to not let him enter the pass to visit.
Fortunately, the Qi Family's Army of Peace Stronghold didn't do anything unusual. On the contrary, they sent a large amount of wine, tea bricks, and other Ming Dynasty materials that were most rare to the prairie people to the tribe encampment outside the pass.
This made Dergler feel much more at ease.
Moreover, he had already arrived at Peace Stronghold. If he wanted to retreat, he would have to pass through Chahar.
Would Bu Yan let the Ye He Tribe go?
Due to these two factors, although Dergler was anxious that he would not be able to see his father, he could only wait.
It was only when Zhu Ke returned and his cousin came out of seclusion to see him that he was completely relieved.
He followed his cousin into Taiping Village alone.
Jintai Shi struggled to get up in excitement. The wounds on his body pulled, and he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air in pain. His face instantly turned pale, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Quickly tell me how you went south and what happened after that!”Jin Taishi grabbed Dergler's hand and asked anxiously.
Dergler quickly summarized the whole matter to his father in a concise manner without losing any important details.
Jintai Shi sighed helplessly." It's Brother Dong. Brother Dong chose a general of the Ming Dynasty. I should have thought of it long ago. When we were at Kou Pass, the longer Zhu Ke defended, the more Brother Dong was interested in this person.”
"She actually gave the entire Ye He Division to a Great Ming general!”
"A general of the Great Ming Dynasty who has the imperial power above him and has no autonomy at all!”
"Ma, what do we do now? Is there any way to save it?" Dergler quickly asked.
To be honest, if it wasn't for his father's letter, he would have been very resistant to joining the Ming Dynasty.
Did he not have to rely on Ming Qiang to rely on Nurhachi?
In Great Ming, they were barbaric representatives. They did not have any foundation in Great Ming and were always different.
Jianzhou Nurhachi was different.
Both of them were Zhenrens, and they had a marriage relationship.
"There won't be another chance. You were brought into the pass alone to separate us from the clan.”
"If I were Zhu Ke, I would ask Brother Dong to transfer over 10,000 of our elites into the pass and separate them from the tribe after you leave," Jintai Shi analyzed.”
"The elites of the Ye He Tribe inside the pass are surrounded by the Ming court army on all sides. The tribes outside the pass have to rely on the Taiping Village. In the future, they will need the support of the Taiping Village to resist the Tatars.”
"Originally, I wanted to take Zhu Ke into my Ye He Tribe, but I didn't expect that in the end, he would swallow him whole!”
Jintai Shi said desolately and sighed helplessly.
……
Peace Stronghold.
Zhu Ke stood in front of the city tower with one arm hooked up, looking down at the ten thousand elite cavalry of Ye He's tribe neatly lined up and entering the city one after another.
Xu Xin and the others lined up beside him.
"Commander, young hero!"
"In the two hundred years of the Great Ming Dynasty, such a hearty victory can only be achieved by Daren!”
"This Ye He Tribe admires Daren and is attached to my Great Ming, so it should be controlled by Daren!”
……
Xu Xin smiled as he stood beside Zhu Ke, allowing the group of governors and centurions who had come with him to say such mushy compliments.
Although it was mushy, he, Xu Xin, couldn't say it because of his identity as the Xu family. It would only be beneficial for others to say it more.
After all, they had come here to express their loyalty to Zhu Ke, hoping to hold him back so that he would not be forced to side with the Qi Family's Army under the threat of the one thousand soldiers from the pass.
However, they had already been here for two days.
All kinds of flattery and words of loyalty had been said, but Zhu Ke's attitude was still ambiguous.
However, Xu Xin could understand.
After all, the Qi Family's Army had 1,000 elites stationed in Peace Stronghold.
This Peace Stronghold was also part of the Qi Family Army.
As Ye He's troops entered the pass, Xu Xin felt that it was time for him to express his stance.
"Commander, we have already jointly submitted a petition to the Imperial Court, asking the Imperial Court to understand the local government's actions and hand over the control of the Ye He Division to Milord. The Imperial Court will most likely sympathize with Milord's difficulties in doing things in the local government.”
"For example, this time, when Your Excellency wanted to check the fields, some of the generals of the Qi Family's Army were shouting and killing.”
"We are willing to assist Milord and fully support the commander in investigating and sorting out the fields of the Guard Office. All these years, the Qi Family Army has used the knives in their hands to harm countless loyal officials of the court.”
A smile appeared on Zhu Ke's face. He turned around and patted Xu Xin's shoulder."I am very grateful to Thousand Households Xu and everyone else for cooperating with me. Don't worry, after I hand over the Ye He Division to the Imperial Court, I will conduct an open and fair investigation. I will not bend the law for personal gain, and I will not let off those who violate the rules!”
These words seemed to have an attitude, but in fact, there was no attitude.
However, it was much better than before. Xu Xin and the others looked at each other and felt some comfort in their hearts.
He thought that Zhu Ke did not dare to declare war on the Qi Family Army before he obtained the military power and was truly confident!
Xu Xin could not help but ponder.
In two days, their joint memorial should have reached the Forbidden City, right?
……
Zhu Ke glanced at the silent Xu Xin, who was frowning and pondering, and smiled.
He had already learned through Qi Jin's connections in the capital that the court wanted to appoint Li Ruzhen to control the Ye He Tribe, but so what? He wasn't willing to give anything that belonged to him, Zhu Changluo. If someone else extended his hand, he would sever that hand, making him suffer a double loss!
