Xiao Ruxun looked overjoyed.
"I am very happy that the Great Khan has such an idea. To be honest, the Daqin has just been established. If the northern border is unstable, I will also be very worried. Moreover, I have no allies in the northern prairie. Once something happens, I will have no one to take care of me. I am indeed very worried about this matter. I am very happy that the Great Khan is willing to form an alliance with the Daqin."
Buyan got the answer he wanted and was immediately happy.
"I am very happy that Your Majesty has such an idea. This, this jade seal is a small greeting gift. I have another big gift for the Daqin."
"Hahahaha, the Great Khan is too polite!"
Xiao Ruxun laughed.
After reaching a preliminary intention of cooperation with Buyan, Xiao Ruxun smiled and sent Buyan away. He also agreed with him to send some people to discuss the specific details of cooperation, such as trade and so on.
It seemed that the closure of the border trade by the Daqin had really put a lot of pressure on them.
After sending Buyan away, Xiao Ruxun returned to the palace where he received guests.
"Come out."
Weng Guodai came out of a side room in the palace.
"Did you hear that?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Please believe us. We have absolutely no intention of offending the Daqin. Otherwise, we would not have helped the Daqin destroy the Jurchens. Buyan is completely stirring up trouble and slandering us.
He has always wanted to tell us what to do. If we don't want to, he will find ways to deal with us! This time, he even slandered us in front of Your Majesty. He is the greediest and most shameless person. "
Weng Guodai angrily complained to Xiao Ruxun about Buyan.
"I have heard a little about what kind of person Buyan is. As for you, I am very satisfied that you keep pace with the Daqin on the matter of the Jurchens, so I naturally believe you more."
Xiao Ruxun reached out and patted Weng Guodai on the shoulder.
After the battle of Liaodong, the hardliners led by Nurhachi were completely wiped out, and the power of the Jurchen people declined greatly. Liao Zhong followed Xiao Ruxun's order and did not continue to send troops.
After that, Chu Ying rebuilt the Jianzhou Jurchen Tribe and gathered the exiled Jianzhou Jurchen Tribe to return to their homeland. However, the Jianzhou Jurchen Tribe, whose population and strength had been greatly reduced, could no longer restore their former glory. Instead, they left behind a lot of hatred, such as the hatred with the Barbarian Jurchen Tribe in the north, and the hatred with the Mongolian Horqin Tribe.
Xiao Ruxun instructed Liao Zhong to secretly contact Weng Guodai of the Horqin tribe and allow him to attack and harass Jianzhou from time to time. He did not let him be afraid to attack just because Chu Ying was under the protection of the Daqin. In this way, Chu Ying was forced to constantly seek help from Liao Zhong.
Liao Zhong's solution was to send troops. However, after sending troops too many times, Liao Zhong said that the finances could not support it. Otherwise, they could move to the mainland to live.
At first, Chu Ying was a little hesitant. Later, in the face of the constant harassment of the Horqin and the envious Barbarian Jurchen, he really had no way to stop his tribe's determination to move inland. Therefore, he had to agree to move inland and began to arrange for the move. The time was when Xiao Ruxun was on an expedition against Nihon.
The migration process was secret, and the route was also secretive. The remaining less than 100,000 people of the Jianzhou Jurchen Tribe were settled in various states, counties, and villages in the land of Liaodong. They did not live together.
When the migration was about to be completed, Liao Zhong received instructions to kill Chu Ying with a borrowed knife.
Therefore, Liao Zhong revealed this news to Weng Guodai, asking him to lead reliable elites to pretend to be people of other Jurchen tribes to attack Chu Ying. As long as they succeeded, they would be allowed to trade with each other. In order to trade with each other, Weng Guodai decided to take the risk and personally led people to ambush Chu Ying.
Although Chu Ying fought hard, he did not succeed. More than 2,000 people of his trusted tribe, who had not had time to move into the interior of Liaodong, died in the hands of Weng Guodai.
After finishing all this, Liao Zhong immediately announced to the Jurchen people who had moved to the interior that all this was caused by the remaining forces of the Barbarian Jurchen tribe and the Haixi tribes. They dared to kill their tribe leader and the adopted son of the emperor of Daqin, so they must pay the price in blood!
Under Liao Zhong's instigation and long-term cooperation, the Jurchen people of the Jianzhou Jurchen Tribe had a certain trust in the Daqin. At this moment, they were even more willing to work with the Daqin to avenge Chu Ying.
Therefore, under the command of the Daqin, they launched a small scale, low-intensity, but long-lasting revenge battle with the Haixi Jurchen Tribe and the Barbarian Jurchen Tribe. The Horqin Tribe made a lot of profits from it.
Therefore, although Xiao Ruxun closed the border trade in name, the Horqin Tribe could get a lot of benefits because they repeatedly sent troops.
In contrast, Buyan of the Chahar Tribe, who had no connections, was very anxious.
Horqin had always been at odds with him, and it wasn't just a day or two that the two tribes had been hostile to each other. Now that the Hans had risen again, if he didn't seize the initiative with the Hans, his tribe would never be able to regain the prestige and status of the Huang Jin Family.
Therefore, even if he had to pay the precious jade seal passed down from generation to generation, he had to form an alliance with the Daqin.
But he did not know that after his arrival, Weng Guodai of the Horqin Tribe came to the capital alone with a small army. Under the arrangement of the Daqin officials, he quietly met with Xiao Ruxun, and under the arrangement of Xiao Ruxun, he listened to the meeting between Xiao Ruxun and Buyan.
Then, he angrily complained to Xiao Ruxun about what the bastard had done, expressing his strong desire to submit to the Daqin instead of Buyan.
He knelt down to express his willingness to submit to Xiao Ruxun.
"Don't worry, I don't trust Buyan. The former Ming Dynasty and the Meng Yuan Empire have never reconciled. The former Ming Dynasty failed to completely destroy the Meng Yuan Empire, and the Meng Yuan Empire failed to recapture the Central Plains. And the Daqin inherited everything from the former Ming Dynasty. In principle, I and Buyan are still enemies."
Xiao Ruxun personally bent down to help Weng Guodai up: "I am very happy that you and Horqin are willing to be my arms on the prairie. With your help, I can do a lot of things, and I trust you more. As for Buyan, if he dares to be on an equal footing with me, he must have the strength."
Weng Guodai expressed his happiness for Xiao Ruxun's attitude.
"It is a blessing for the Horqin Tribe that Your Majesty is willing to believe in the Horqin Tribe. In the future, if there is any sign that Buyan wants to mobilize troops, the Horqin Tribe will do its best to help."
"Mmm."
Xiao Ruxun nodded and patted Weng Guodai on the shoulder: "Whether it is the Jurchens or Chahar, I don't trust them. Only you, I trust. I will not forget what you have done for me. Later, I will order the border trade to give Horqin more high-quality weapons than Chahar."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Weng Guodai was very happy.
He could see very clearly that sooner or later the Haixi Jurchens and the Savage Jurchens would become a piece of meat in the mouth of the Daqin. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the new Daqin was far stronger than the Ming Dynasty in terms of military strength. Their fighting strength was extremely strong, and their desire to expand was also very strong. It was unwise to be hostile to such a Daqin.
When they were dealing with Nurhachi, Weng Guodai observed the battle of the Qin Army and was deeply shocked. He felt that if his tribe did not attach to the Qin Army as soon as possible and become its arms, they would definitely encounter misfortune in the future.
