Chapter 165 Man Gui Exits

Chapter 165 Man Gui Exits
Man Gui ignored him and just rode his horse at a leisurely pace.

After a while, Ezhe finally caught up with him and said angrily, "My father Khan heard that you were coming and arranged a banquet for you. Why are you leaving without saying a word?"

Man Gui finally stopped and looked at Ezhe coldly and said, "Although I am of low rank, I came here on the orders of our emperor, so I represent the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

"But the noble Khan did not come out to greet him. Does he look down on the Ming Dynasty or the Emperor? If His Majesty Lindan Khan looks down on the Ming Dynasty, then there is no need for me to enter the camp to meet him, right?"

Ezhe was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he refuted: "It's just a small matter, why is it so serious?"

Upon hearing this, Man Gui was furious and said, "I am here on behalf of our emperor to discuss the matter of joining forces. It doesn't matter if I am humiliated, but if I lose the emperor's face, I will never be able to atone for it even if I die a thousand times. How dare you say it's a small matter!"

Ezhe curled his lips and said, "I heard that General Man is also a Mongolian. How come he has become so stingy?"

Man Gui glared with his tiger eyes and said, "I am from Xuanfu, the Ming Dynasty. Who is the bastard who spread the rumor that I am a Mongolian?"

"Anyway, I am here today on behalf of our emperor. If Khan Lindan cannot treat me with courtesy, I will have no choice but to leave!"

After that, he bowed to Ezhe and said, "Goodbye!"

Seeing that Man Gui was not pretending, Ezhe immediately became anxious and compromised, "Okay, okay, I will pass the message on for you. General Man, please wait for a moment, okay?"

Man Gui finally stopped and said unhappily, "If you had done this earlier, there would have been nothing to worry about. Do you think it's fun to make me tired and walk three times and stop three times?"

Ezhe was so angry that his nose was crooked. Only then did he realize that Mangui was really playing tricks and didn't really want to leave.

However, once the words were out, if he regretted it and didn't pass it on, Man Gui would be forced to leave.

So without saying hello, he turned his horse around and went back to the camp.

About half a quarter of an hour later, an even larger group of people rushed out of the camp and headed straight for Mangui.

When there were still a dozen steps to go, the leader cupped his hands and laughed, "Is that General Man Guiman? I am honored to meet you!"

Man Gui no longer held his head high, and immediately rode forward, also bowing and smiling, saying: "Oh, how could I trouble Lin Dan Khan to come out of the camp to greet you in person? I am really ashamed!"

After hearing this, Lin Danhan, Ezhe and others all looked disgusted.

So it's you who's being so irritating that you insist on me coming to greet you?

But even though he thought so, Lin Danhan said politely, "General Man is here on behalf of the emperor of the upper country, how can we not go out of the camp to welcome him!"

This time, Lin Danhan was even more friendly than the last time Fang Zikun gave him silver, and could even be described as respectful.

In addition to the fact that the Ming Dynasty provided assistance to the Dorlot tribe, it was also closely related to the fact that the Ming Dynasty sent troops to Liaodong, defeated Dorgon and others, and even frightened Huang Taiji so much that he fled without a fight on the banks of the Daling River.

Of course, Lin Danhan had no idea about the coincidences involved, but the result was always the same.

This made Lin Danhan realize that even a rotten boat can have three pounds of nails and a lean camel is bigger than a horse, so he put away his contempt.

Moreover, a Ming army general Yebushou had come to inform Man Gui of his upcoming visit, and he had said at the time that Man Gui's intention was to form an alliance with him on behalf of the Ming court, and to join hands to fight several battles, which was not comparable to the previous verbal alliance. Therefore, if Lin Danhan wanted to use the Ming Dynasty, he was willing to give him enough face, after all, it didn't cost him anything, right?

Lin Danhan enthusiastically stepped forward and took Mangui's hand. The two dismounted and walked hand in hand into the camp.

Along the way, the Chahar tribesmen stood on both sides and clapped their hands to welcome them, which was very grand.

Man Gui held his head high and chest puffed out, exuding the air of a Celestial Empire.

The servants behind him, looking at these previously unruly Mongolian Tartars in front of them, could not help but look down on them with a sense of pride and felt deeply proud of the Ming Dynasty.

They completely forgot that most of them were Mongolian Tartars in their eyes...

Although Man Gui claimed that he was not a Mongolian, he managed to gather a lot of scattered Mongolians when he was in Liaodong.

This is also one of the reasons why Mangui's servants are so powerful.

Lin Danhan brought Man Gui to the Khan's tent. The huge yurt was already filled with food such as roasted goat milk wine.

Man Gui was not unfamiliar with these foods, but he had eaten too much delicious food in the Ming Dynasty, so he looked down on these things.

After eating a few bites, he could not wait to say: "Don't blame me, Khan. I came here on the orders of the emperor. It won't be too late to enjoy these banquets after we have finalized the alliance!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Danhan put down his wine glass and said, "Your country had an envoy come earlier, but he only announced that General Man was coming to discuss the alliance, but the specific rules were vague. Now I want to ask for your advice."

Man Gui directly took out the document that he had prepared long ago, stood up and walked to Lin Danhan's desk and sat down next to him.

Upon seeing this, Ezhe and other Chahar tribesmen became a little annoyed and were about to stand up and scold, but Lindan Khan immediately gave them a look, and everyone had to shut up.

In fact, everyone in the world thought that Lin Danhan was a mad dog. In fact, he was indeed a mad dog, but he was a sane mad dog who could pretend to be a hegemonic demeanor.

In his opinion, as long as it was helpful for him to unify Mongolia, he didn't need to care too much about some small details, so he tolerated Man Gui's behavior of sitting directly next to him.

You know, the so-called Khan of Mongolia is equivalent to the emperor of Central Plains.

If that foreign envoy suddenly left the state banquet and ran to sit next to Chongzhen, how disrespectful would that be?
Even if this envoy represents the monarch of his own country, that won’t work!
But Lindan Khan endured it. It must be said that although Lindan Khan was crazy, he also had normal and generous moments.

Of course, all this must be based on the premise that it is profitable and that Lin Danhan cannot rob it directly.

After Man Gui sat down, he pointed to the clauses in the document and began to explain them word by word.

Fortunately, I started learning to read when I became a general, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome to explain it today.

The content of the clauses was similar to what Yuan Chonghuan and Zhao Lushi discussed at the time. To sum up, the Ming Dynasty and Chahar would join forces to completely expel Huang Taiji's forces in Mongolia, and at the right time, they would jointly send troops to Liaodong to completely wipe out the Jiannu.

After Liaodong is pacified, the Ming Dynasty will fully support Ligdan Khan to become a powerful Mongolian.
