Chapter 116: Leader Xiao's ambition
Chapter 116
However, at this time, someone reacted first.
This person is not someone else. He is the leader of Sect Xiao.
To be honest, the moment when Altan died, Master Xiao was still a little sad. Although the memories between him and Altan may not be all good. But after all, the king and his ministers were in trouble. Master Xiao felt a little lost in an instant.
But it was just a moment.
Political interests are the priority for political figures. Master Xiao’s instinct made him immediately think about the political situation in the post-Altan era.
Although Altan brought his eldest son Xin Ai with him and cultivated him more, he did not really want to regard Xin Ai as the crown prince. This is a tradition of the Mongolians. The Mongolian father and son are not as inherited as in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, when his son is powerful, he might not be able to wait for me to die naturally.
Altan did not cultivate a powerful heir now.
The reason why he cultivated Xin Ai was because his son's power was also Altan's own power, especially when he was fighting for power within Mongolia.
This son can come in handy too.
Altan never expected that he would die here.
This brings up an embarrassing question. Xin Ai does not have the prestige of Altan among the Mongolians, and it may not be possible to inherit the power of Altan's headquarters. Not to mention trading, the large market of Mongolian departments.
However, Master Xiao felt that Xin Ai could still inherit Altan's status. After all, although Altan was dead, he led the Mongolians to the city of Beijing. Such military achievements were unprecedented in the past century. Even if people left, they would have some shade.
This is enough for Xin Ai to ascend to the throne.
But that's all. How much prestige can a general Xin Ai have depends on Xin Ai himself.
Master Xiao immediately smelled the opportunity and said to himself: "Who is Xin Ai's biggest enemy? It's not me. No matter how well a Han man is in Mongolia, he will never be able to ascend to the throne of Khan. His biggest enemy is other Mongolian tribes and other Borjijin."
"If I could help Xin Ai do all this, then the status of the White Lotus Sect can be established in Mongolia."
"I may not be able to become the king of the Mongolian South Court."
Master Xiao had a sharp ambition in his heart.
After this battle, Master Xiao’s original plan to conquer Beijing and then become independent in the north was no longer possible. However, Altan’s death gave him a new opportunity.
Before this, the basis of the rule of the Mongolian Khan was the Mongolian tribes. Altan was like this. As long as he could win the loyalty of the Mongolian tribes, the Mongolian Khan would be as stable as Mount Tai. Now he wanted to change it, and to make the rule of the new Mongolian Khan based on the alliance between the Altan headquarters and the White Lotus Sect. That is, it was based on the alliance between the Mongolian and the Han Dynasty.
The last time that the reform was Kublai Khan.
Yes, when Kublai Khan was fighting for the Khan throne on the grassland, he used a large number of Han troops, and these Han troops were even one of the keys to his victory.
At that time, the Han army marquis in the north became an important support force for Kublai Khan. From that moment on, Mongolia became the Great Yuan.
Thinking of this, Master Xiao thought to himself: "Da Khan, Da Khan, you're dead at a very time. Thank you for giving me this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Please rest assured that I am a loyal minister of Da Khan, so naturally I will do whatever it takes to support Da Khan's descendants as Khan."
Master Xiao suddenly stood up, came to Xin Ai's face, knelt down on the ground, and said, "The country cannot be without a king for a day. Now we are deeply in the Ming realm, and the crisis is everywhere. Emperor Ming has issued an edict to support the king. Maybe there are many large armies near Beijing. The more this moment, the army must unite. The Khan is the lord of the revival of Mongolia, and the blessings are broadcast. I, Xiao, here I swear that if I am not the Khan's descendants, I will attack him. Xin Aibeile is the eldest son of the Khan, and the throne should be established. Who do you have any objections?"
Master Xiao’s words stunned many people.
The Mongolians naturally lacked a single mind in this regard.
Many people have disappeared before they accept the Khan. How can they think of so many things?
Xin Ai couldn't hide her mind. If Xin Ai had never thought about being a Khan, it would be absolutely impossible. But he did not expect that his Khan's position would come so quickly. He didn't understand. With Altan's Yu Yin, he could not escape.
After all, Altan's son who needs to be used as an adult is just a person.
Of course, Altan died in a hurry and many things were not arranged. There may be some twists and turns. But as long as the power of Altan's headquarters is still there, Xin Ai's status will be stable.
Xin Ai only felt that Master Xiao was a loyal minister. He also stood up with a knife and said, "What do you think?"
These Mongolian nobles were not without opinions. But at this time, they found that there was a missing important person, that is, Tutuo.
Tuotuo had high prestige and experienced seniority. When Altan was there, he could not help but give some face, which could represent the opinions of most Mongolians. If Tuotuo was there, he would say something against him, and probably even Xin Ai could not say anything. It was just Tuotuo was dead.
For a time, the Mongolian nobles could not find another person who could speak out on behalf of everyone. As for themselves, they came forward.
In such a big matter, if you accidentally kill the whole family, you will end up destroying the whole family. You should know that the Mongolians' struggle in this regard is much crueler than the Han people.
When Master Xiao saw that the Mongolian leaders were silent for a moment, he rushed while the iron was hot and immediately said, "Greetings to the Khan."
Seeing this, some generals around Xin Ai immediately came out to kneel down one after another and said, "Greetings to the Great Khan."
These people are either Xin Ai's direct subordinates or Altan's subordinates. After all, Altan is dead. These people are also loyal to Altan's heirs.
So more than half of the people were bowing down one after another, and the Mongolian generals below all knelt on the ground.
Xin Ai was happy and said, "Get up."
Master Xiao said: "This is not a place to stay for a long time. Please step back and discuss it. After all, that shot just now----"
When the leaders of various Mongolian tribes heard this, they immediately ordered the withdrawal of their troops without saying a word.
The troops did not care about the people who were driving away, and retreated for several miles, and naturally disappeared from the Ming army's offensive.
Zhou Mengchen had just loaded the second shell, but found that the situation was extremely complicated.
He was happy that the Tartars retreated, but he was also worried that Altan would have been killed just now.
After all, Zhou Mengchen knew one thing very well, that is, the gap between his troops and the Tartars was too big. Only by killing Altan and putting the Tartars in a vacuum of power could the Tartars take the initiative to withdraw their troops. However, if Altan was not dead.
This shot has no effect at all.
The transmission frequency is too low. It only has a little shocking effect.
Zhou Mengchen was anxiously waiting for the result, and wanted to send an envoy to the other side to ask if Altan was dead.
However, Qi Jiguang was not idle at this time. He accepted all the people who drove out of the Tartars. He opened several channels and placed the people in the formation and selected all the young and strong men, especially the defeated soldiers, who asked them to form a formation west of the formation, that is, in the direction opposite Chaoyang Gate.
I also thought that the space in the square array was limited and could not accommodate so many people.
Zhou Mengchen is still waiting for a result here.
But Emperor Jiajing at the top of the city was completely confused and had no idea what had happened.
In his opinion, the Tartars were ready to go, so Zhou Mengchen fired a shot here and stopped. Then he withdrew his troops. It was really inexplicable.
Jiajing asked Lu Bing, "Tell me, what's going on?"
There was a thumping sound in Lu Bing's heart, and he had already had some speculations in his heart. But this matter was too serious, so important that Lu Bing dared not say anything in front of Jiajing. If he guessed wrongly, he would have to beat the board.
Lu Bing said: "I dare not speak nonsense, but, in this way, I am afraid that something happened to the nobles of the Tartars."
After hearing this, Jiajing's thoughts changed, and his heart suddenly began to beat, almost jumping out of his mouth. When he heard Lu Bing say this, the first thing he thought of was the Chanyuan Alliance.
