In April of the Guangbei grassland, spring has just begun, and the crowd is also the most peaceful time in the Ming Lianping Plain, because most of the livestock give birth to cubs at this time. For the herdsmen, this is the most important time of the year, just like the spring plowing of farmers in the Ming Dynasty.

The nobles on the grassland rarely worry about herders at this time, and they have more livestock to take care of.

However, since the end of February of the ninth year of Wanli, from Yilibali in the Western Regions to Korqin and Taining in Liaodong, there were messengers running and moving everywhere.

These messengers traveled back and forth between the tribes, and only one message was conveyed. Altan Khan died.

Since the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang destroyed the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Chengzu Zhu Zhu went out to the frontier several times to the northern expedition, there has been a pile of loose sand on the Mongolian grasslands. Several times, strong men wanted to unite the various tribes, but none of them succeeded.

Altan Khan of the Tumot tribe did this during the Jiajing period. He swallowed the Uryanha tribe and suppressed the orthodox Chahar tribe of the Golden Family. He either annexed or formed an alliance with the rest of the tribes, and finally became the overlords on the grassland.

During the years when Altan Khan became stronger, the war against the Ming Dynasty almost never failed. The nine-sided important town seemed to be useless in front of him, and they were allowed to come and go.

The three sides of Shaanxi, Datong, Shanxi, and even the Xuanfu, which was the key areas of the capital, were once broken by Altan Khan and led his cavalry to plunder everywhere. The border troops on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty were defeated again and again, which was extremely miserable.

Later, the border general fled and even Qiu Luan, who was in charge of the border town garrison, bribed Altan Khan to seek peace. At the most, Altan Khan could mobilize 100,000 cavalry, and was invincible.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty was raging with hunched enemies in the southeast and Altan broke through the border in the north. It was really miserable, the country was turbulent, and there was a danger of overturning.

But Altan Khan had no big ambitions. He just wanted to be his khan with peace of mind. He plundered more gold and silver women from the Ming Dynasty, traded with the Ming Dynasty, and enjoyed wealth and beauty. In his later years, he was even more confused by the lamas of Tubo, believed in Tantric Buddhism, worshiped Buddha all day long, and wrote about the pictures of the picture, so that the Ming Dynasty had a chance to breathe.

In the late Jiajing period, Qi Jiguang and Yu Daxian, who had pacified the hunchbacks in the southeast, led the southern troops to the north, and the troops in the border town were integrated. Li Chengliang, the general of Liaodong, also grew into a general and managed his own elite power. Only then did the power of Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty begin to balance, and the Ming Dynasty gradually gained a weak advantage.

During the Longqing period, the two sides finally reached a collaborative agreement. Since then, there has been no large-scale conflict with the Altan tribe on the grassland.

At the end of the eighth year of Wanli, Jizhen, Xuanfu and the imperial guards organized a battle north of Gubeikou. In one battle, they destroyed the Wanhunajit and some of the Korqin tribes who rebelled from Altan's tribe, severely damaged the shoe caps, making the comparison of strength more inclined to the Ming side.

This war shocked all the troops on the grassland and contacted each other to seek countermeasures. However, although this war was amazing, it was still not as shocking as the news of Altan Khan's death.

The death of the Khan on the grassland was like the death of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. However, the Ming Dynasty had a complete inheritance system. The emperor passed away and the prince succeeded to the throne. The change of power was stable and there would be no fluctuations. However, the strong were respected on the grassland. When Altan Khan was there, everyone was convinced.

If Altan Khan dies, his sons may not have such power. Moreover, the Altan tribes are not the eldest son of Altan Khan, but are divided into several parts, each with its own subordinates. In addition to a few princes, Altan Khan's favorite woman, the third lady, has the most elite cavalry, and is also in charge of the exchanges with the Ming Dynasty.

Once Altan Khan dies, the greatest force on the grassland will be divided. At that time, who is the most respected person on the grassland, or what kind of self-governing or even fighting continuously, may be arguing.

The tribes on the grassland communicated with each other, and joined forces with each other. Altan Khan's sons also restrained the guards of their tribes and kept in touch with the outside world. The built city "Nichua City" is different from other grassland tribes. Altan Khan has more than 100,000 Han farmers farming for him here, which is also an important reason why he overwhelmed other tribes.

Guihua City is also the core of the name and reality on the grassland now, trade, deliberation, and alliances, all of which are held here, and the third lady also lives here, and is the owner of it. Altan Khan's eldest son Senggedu Gulen lives ten miles outside the city to protect the city.

Altan Khan was over 80 years old, and Senggedu Gulen was over 50 years old. In fact, many people on the grassland called him Senggedu Gulen Khan, who was considered the most outstanding heir to the Altan tribe.

The first destination he arrived at was the big tent of Senggedu Gulen, who was also sent by the people he arranged to be Altan Khan.

Senggedu Gulen is tall and his long-term life made him look more like a civil servant in the Ming Dynasty. His skin color is as rare as Baizhe on the grassland. He is so clean that he is cleaned up and is wearing loose robes.

When the guards outside informed the messenger that he was watching the song and dance, and two Han people were reporting the income and expenditure of the trade between the two Han people there.

Halfway through, the messenger stumbled in, lay down on the ground and said loudly:

"Your Highness, King Khan, King Khan is here to die in heaven"

Upon hearing this news, Seng Gedugulen, who had been sitting in a crooked manner with his eyes half-closed, suddenly stood up. His face first showed joy, and then he changed into a sad look.

"I understand, you go down and rest first, I will go to the city immediately!"

After the messenger said this, the people in the tent who had not had time to go out knelt there. The messenger thanked him, and then hurriedly stepped down from the little monk Gedugulen immediately shouted:

"Record Tiger"

A fierce warrior wearing iron armor walked in and saluted, and Senggedugulen said softly:

"The messenger, the singers and dancers here, and the servants, were all taken into custody separately. Now the camp is under martial law. Without my token, no one is allowed to enter and exit.

The warrior bowed to accept the order, and some of the people who were kneeling down had already begun to tremble. He was slightly calmer when he heard this order. It was possible that all such major events could be killed and silenced.

Everyone was taken out, but the two Han people were left in the room. Seng Gedu Gulen had no expression on his face and sat down slowly. The two Han people looked at each other and remained silent. Seng Gedu Gulen picked up the silver bowl in front of him, drank it in big gulp, let out a long breath, and said with emotion:

"What a good wine. Compared with the best horse-milky wine on the grassland, it is the same as urine as the fine wine of the Ming Dynasty.

After saying that, Seng Gedu laughed loudly, laughed, patted the table and said:

"The old guy finally died, and finally he died of old age."

After talking to himself a few words, Senggedugulen wiped the tears that were laughing out, and inexplicably turned into a cry again. He wailed and beat his chest, crying and cursing:

"The old beast killed by heaven, you have 100,000 soldiers and horses in your hands. But you live in this desolate grassland. If I listen to me, I should cry for you in the Golden Palace of Tiandu now.

Seeing him crying and laughing over there, one of the two Han people next to him stepped forward and said in a stern voice:

"King Khan, this is not the time to be crazy, so he has to confirm his position as Khan from the Second Prince."

Senggedu Gulen Khan took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes. He had calmed down and glanced at him. Another Han man said again:

"The rules on the grassland: if your husband dies, you will marry your son. The Khan is under the command of 13,000 elite cavalry. The third lady of Guihua City has more than 10,000 elite cavalry. The third lady of Guihua City has married the third lady. The two families have joined forces. In addition, there are 35,000 cavalrymen in the remaining tribes of Guihua City. They can subdue the rest of the tribes. Please ask the Khan to follow!"

Originally, the name everyone called Senggedu Gulen was "Your Highness the Prince." But several people in the tent had changed their name and were called "King Khan". Senggedu Gulen Khan only felt comfortable in body and mind, but after hearing the proposal, he frowned and said:

"The third lady is arrogant. She is less than thirty and has her own strength in her hands. It would be so easy to marry me.

The Chinese man who was talking said with a smile:

"The hero of Khan, the third lady must have admired him for a long time, so why is he reserved? Besides, isn't Feng Lao Khan in the south? The Khan should inherit this name. The third lady yearns for Mingguo, and then start from here.

"You mean?"

"I ask the people from Mingguo to persuade the third lady, she will definitely obey.

In the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng led the world, while Zhang Siwei was in charge of meticulous affairs. Although he had no status, he was actually the second assistant.

After the incident of robbing love, Zhang Siwei has been regarded as a natural heir by the people of the world. He is also cautious in his work. He will do everything Zhang Juzheng wants to do, and he will do his best to do it, and there is no such thing as nothing.

However, as a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and Minister of War, Zhang Siwei also has his own party members and his own scope of interests. Such obedience is not a long-term solution.

Zhang Juzheng was clearing the field of Zhang Baimu and promoted the whip method. His reputation was at its peak. It was not something that Zhang Siwei could shake. Even if he was dissatisfied, he could only swallow his anger.

"Mr. Zhang, Shi Zhong is the foundation of the country and a sage. But now this whip method has caused Shi Zhong to be damaged. All the officials in the assessment are the word "profit". If this continues, the country will not be a country."

"Gu Xiancheng, you are a small leader, and you are talking about what you are going to do to the political country. I am tired, you go back!"

Zhang Siwei scolded angrily. A young man sitting below was arrogant. He stood up and saluted and said goodbye. As soon as the man left, a family member hurriedly ran in and said:

"Master, I just got the news from the Ministry of Personnel that the Fourth Master's errand was overtaken by You Qi's relatives."

"With a bang, Zhang Siwei threw the cup on the coffee table to the ground.

Guihua City is today's Hohhot
