Chapter 127: The Death of Borjigin Zolaqiqige
Chapter 127 The Death of Borjigin Zhuolaqiqige
The Halawang camp had been breached for two days, and the cleanup and aftermath of the battlefield had been basically completed.
In this battle, the Ming army suffered more than 2,000 casualties, 24,000 grassland captives were killed, and 81,700 grassland people were captured.
There are more than a thousand former Yuan nobles.
Grand Master Ha La Zhang died of a heart attack due to anger, and all his eleven sons surrendered.
Tuo Yin Timur, the co-director of the Chancellery, took advantage of the chaos to escape from the eastern battlefield, but was captured alive by Zhang Yi, the Marquis of Heqing.
Twenty years of escape came to an end.
Lu Yunyi, who was a supporting actor in this battle, was walking in the front army camp and came to where the Princess of Beiyuan was.
Seeing old friends whom I haven't seen for a long time,
Lu Yunyi felt deeply relieved and then entered the camp.
The Princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, in a luxurious robe, sat quietly at the head of the table.
Compared to eight days ago, she looked even thinner, and her whole body revealed a dead air.
Seeing Lu Yunyi, Princess Beiyuan's lonely eyes turned slightly and looked over:
"You came."
The princess' voice was extremely hoarse and her lips were a little chapped.
Lu Yunyi remained silent, walked to the table beside him, poured a cup of tea, and handed it over:
"Drink tea."
Princess Beiyuan raised her eyes and looked up at the young general in front of her who also looked a little haggard.
His eyes shook slightly, he took the teacup, put it to his lips and sipped it gently.
Lu Yunyi didn't say anything polite and spoke loudly:
"The camp of Harazhang was destroyed, and nearly 80,000 prisoners were taken.
Forty thousand of them are grassland criminals who wanted to see you but were rejected by the general.
The Princess of Beiyuan pursed her lips, her face looking miserable.
The moment the Kharajang camp was breached,
She had already lost the honor of being the princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and her last value to the Ming Dynasty.
Lu Yunyi raised his hand to help her tidy up her messy hair. He looked calm and continued:
"The army is already discussing the placement of the grassland captives.
The initial plan was to divide it into three parts, with one part to be placed in the newly established Beijing Xingdusi, under the control of Prince Ning.
The other part was placed in Beiping Dusi, under the control of the Prince of Yan.
The rest were moved into the Ming territory, allowed to farm, and became Ming people. "
At this point, the tears in the eyes of the Princess of Beiyuan could no longer be stopped from flowing down.
This may be the best news for the people on the grassland.
"Thank you."
"This is not my credit, but the strategy that the army decided in Gyeongju.
The specific distribution will still need to be decided by the Ministry of War and the Five Military Command.
But don't worry, Princess, the Ming Kingdom is not like the grassland.
As long as you come to the territory of our Ming country and are willing to farm, you are a Ming citizen.
If they work diligently, I believe their names will appear in the Ming Dynasty Yellow Book within ten years."
Lu Yunyi's voice was calm, without a trace of emotion, as if he was talking about something completely unrelated.
In fact, if it is located in a strategic location,
After the Ming Dynasty conquered the grasslands, they would register the people there and make them citizens of the Ming Dynasty.
Just like the area of Liaodong, there are no grassland people there anymore, only Ming people.
Princess Beiyuan slowly wiped away the tears in her eyes and slowly raised her head.
The sadness in her eyes is still there, but the determination on her face is still there.
"Tell me, what else do you need me to do?"
Lu Yunyi narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists. After a long while, he sighed softly:
"Kill someone for me."
"who."
"Jinyiwei, Jiang Li."
"I don't know."
Lu Yunyi's eyes were focused and his voice was calm:
"He is the man sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to protect the General.
But I doubt he is your Majesty's man,
He knows too much and is a hidden danger."
The Princess of Beiyuan suddenly raised her head.
There was a strong dangerous light in his big and bright eyes, and he looked at Lu Yunyi with a little surprise:
"You want to rebel?"
Lu Yunyi closed his eyes slightly and shook his head slowly:
"Too many nails around you is never a good thing, you need to clean them up.
I've been thinking about this for days, and only if you take action can it not attract attention.
The grassland criminals rioting is the best possible reason."
Princess Beiyuan nodded, her voice was hollow:
"It makes sense."
Lu Yunyi fell into silence, his eyes were cold and calm, and he quietly waited for the reply from Princess Beiyuan.
"What's in it for me?"
"Dibaonu will not die."
"He is the prince of Beiyuan. He will never die."
"I could kill him."
Princess Beiyuan clenched her fists tightly, stared at the young man in front of her, and spoke with gritted teeth:
"Do you threaten me?"
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Lu Yunyi nodded gently:
"I guess so. You have to help me. Jiang Li has made me restless. He must die."
Princess Beiyuan frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise in her eyes:
"Why?"
Lu Yunyi didn't know what to say, so he just shook his head:
"I hate having eyes around me, and you know the relationship between the general and the prince.
He trusted Jiang Li very much.
I have warned him, but Jiang Li is still alive."
"Have you told Lan Yu about this?" For some reason, the corner of Princess Beiyuan's mouth curled up into a meaningful smile.
"I've reminded him, but he should understand."
Princess Beiyuan smiled gently, slowly stood up, and stared at the young man in front of her.
He slowly raised his hand and touched Lu Yunyi's face, which looked a little dry and dark due to months of fighting.
"Young people are still young people. You don't understand what the superiors are thinking.
I will help you one last time, but you have to agree to one condition."
"explain."
"You come to kill me."
Lu Yunyi was silent for a moment, then nodded gently, opened his lips and uttered a word:
"it is good."
The atmosphere in the military tent was somewhat depressing, and the two men looked extremely calm.
It seems like they are talking about something completely unrelated.
Suddenly, Princess Beiyuan slowly withdrew her hand, slowly stepped back, slowly sat down, and spoke lightly:
"I won't help you kill him."
Lu Yunyi frowned, his eyes were no longer calm, but full of murderous intent!
The originally handsome face also became hideous.
He took a step forward and quickly reached out his hand.
He directly grasped the fair neck of the Princess of Beiyuan.
He pulled it up with a sudden tug, and then applied more force a little at a time.
"I don't know how to praise!"
The Princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty did not flutter her feet back and forth.
It just fell straight down there.
Although her eyes were bloodshot, she remained calm and relieved.
Lu Yunyi could also see a hint of hidden expectation in her eyes.
Lu Yunyi's face quickly regained its composure, and the violence in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
As soon as her hand loosened, Princess Beiyuan fell down. She knelt in front of Lu Yunyi.
He lowered his head, coughed lightly, with a smile and excitement on the corner of his mouth.
The feeling of death brought a moment of peace to her heart.
"Why?" Lu Yunyi asked again.
Princess Beiyuan lay on the ground for a long time before she slowly moved her body, propped herself up, and sat back at the top.
"Spy in front and behind, can be the enemy or me."
Lu Yunyi's eyes flashed with doubt, and he picked up the teacup and handed it over:
"Drink water."
A trace of surprise flashed across Princess Beiyuan's eyes. She raised her head and stared at him, smiling and saying:
"Is this your way of apologizing?"
She saw some embarrassment in Lu Yunyi's eyes and smiled softly.
Take the teacup and drink while coughing
"Why?" Lu Yunyi asked again.
Princess Beiyuan lifted up her long hair that fell in front of her eyes and said:
"Before the spy was exposed, he belonged to the enemy.
But after being exposed, I can use it for my own benefit.
Spies are scary, but a spy standing in the open is nothing to be afraid of.
Kill him? Wouldn't the Emperor of Ming Dynasty send secret agents?
He will send out more secret agents,
Compared to this situation, it is better to keep him and use him for your own benefit.
And what you can find is,
Lan Yu should have known long ago that this was just a tacit agreement between the emperor and the powerful ministers."
Princess Beiyuan stood up, with a bright red palm print on her fair neck, but it was fading quickly.
She quietly came to Lu Yunyi and stretched out her hand to help him put his clothes in order.
Then he stepped forward, put his arms around Lu Yunyi's neck, and whispered in his ear:
"Halazhang, Shiremen, Manzi, Duoerji, Neqilai, Toyin Timur and other nobles of the grassland all had women placed by the Khan's side.
They know, but they don't tell.
Instead, they often expressed their loyalty to the Khan through these women. "
The Beiyuan Princess's expression suddenly turned sad.
"But in the end, they had their own army,
When the central army was attacked, instead of returning to help, Halazhang fled faster. How could he show any loyalty at all?"
Lu Yunyi frowned and fell into silence.
Many days of fighting had made his head a mess, and even his thoughts became sluggish.
After hearing what the Princess of Beiyuan said, Lu Yunyi found it difficult to make a decision whether Jiang Li stayed or not.
Princess Beiyuan reached out and touched his cheek, sighing:
"You are just a young warrior. You don't need to get involved in the fights between big men. Are you afraid of getting hurt by doing this?"
Lu Yunyi nodded.
Princess Beiyuan suddenly laughed heartily, her voice clear and crisp, echoing softly in Lu Yunyi's ears.
Her expression gradually became strange, and she looked at Lu Yunyi with a half-smile:
"There is a way to keep you from getting involved in the fights between big men. Do you want to hear it?"
"what?"
"Become a consort of the Ming Dynasty and stay away from military and political affairs."
Lu Yunyi's breathing quickened, and he almost lifted her up again.
Seeing this, the Princess of Beiyuan slightly opened her red lips, her expression becoming even brighter.
She saw the flash of ambition in Lu Yunyi's eyes and shook her head slowly:
"I knew you wouldn't agree. I can help you."
Lu Yunyi frowned, looked at the Princess of Beiyuan in front of him, and silently grasped the long sword at his waist.
"What do you want to say?"
The Princess of Beiyuan ignored her and continued, "I can marry you, Arisleng."
bass--
Lu Yunyi pushed him away and drew his sword.
He placed it on the neck of Princess Beiyuan and looked around vigilantly.
The Princess of Northern Yuan before him was not as calm as she looked, and seemed to have something in her heart.
Inside the military tent, the light was dim and the candlelight flickered.
It reflects the beautiful yet lonely face of the Princess of Beiyuan.
She was wearing a gorgeous dress with intricate and colorful totems embroidered on the lapels, but it couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes.
Her long hair fell like a waterfall, with a few strands sticking to her cheeks, adding a touch of sad beauty to her.
Her fingers gently stroked the long knife at her neck.
It was a weapon that shone with cold light and was extremely sharp, exuding the same heroic spirit as Arsleng.
Borjigin Zhuolaqiqige opened her red lips slightly, with regret in her eyes:
"Arsleng, you are ambitious, courageous, good at fighting, and ruthless.
If you marry me, you can become the king of this grassland.
It’s a pity that you are Lu Yunyi and can never become Arisleng.”
There was a hint of wry smile in his words, and his eyes showed both helplessness and relief.
She sighed slightly, her eyes moving as if she was recalling the glory of the past and the loneliness of today.
"The royal court was eventually destroyed, and heroes only emerge in the open." Her voice was low and sad, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of her heart.
She looked up at Lu Yunyi, a hint of complexity flashing in her eyes:
"Arsleng, I can feel the sharpness in your heart.
You can restore the steppe to its former glory. You are better than the Khan.
If possible, I hope to marry you and have children for you.
It’s a pity that you are a Ming person.”
After saying this, she slowly raised her head and looked through the gap in the military tent.
It was as if I saw the rising sun.
But that sun did not belong to the royal court, but to the distant Ming Dynasty.
Phew——
The sound of a long knife piercing flesh and blood slowly rang out, carrying an indescribable heaviness.
The Princess of Beiyuan had a calm expression, with a hint of a smile on her lips.
The long knife scratched the fair neck, and the flesh and blood tried to break through the blade, but left a trace of sad red.
Blood dripped like a thin thread, staining her clothes red.
It dripped onto the grassland, forming bright blood flowers.
The atmosphere in the military tent became extremely heavy and depressing at this moment.
The smell of blood began to spread.
Although Lu Yunyi was already very familiar with it,
But this time, he was filled with astonishment and a little shock.
The light sword seemed heavy at this moment.
He looked at Zhuola Qiqige's gradually blurred eyes.
And the faint smile on the corner of her mouth, an indescribable complexity welled up in her heart.
The fall of the cold corpse not only marks the end of life, but also the end of the grassland royal court.
He stood there silently.
He let the atmosphere in the tent surround him.
With his mind cleared, Lu Yunyi slowly lowered his head and looked towards the ground.
The bloodstains had gradually spread, and a few young grass shoots, bearing the bloodstains, quietly emerged.
He couldn't bear the heavy burden and his head was bent.
Life and death emerge,
Lu Yunyi knew that spring was coming.
