"How many beauties, sir, this fall into the country of fragrant things. I don't know if it's ridiculous. I can't get up even if I have been absurd overnight." Cheng Qiyun laughed softly against Yang Ling's ear.

On the table were fresh fruits and mellow wine and meat. On the wide carpet in front of them were more than a dozen women with different clothes and pretty faces, all of whom were tall and graceful, standing in the tent, full of lotus emerged from the water.

These women are all stunning girls with light clothes and delicate curves. They are tall and deep, with blond hair and blue eyes. They are Western Regions, Indians, Persians, Ross, and some mixed-race children who cannot be called varieties. They each have exotic styles. When they stand in the tent, they are graceful and graceful, fragrant and breathtaking. They are simply dazzling.

Yang Ling smiled unanimously and smiled at the Oirat envoy sitting in the lower head, saying, "Lord Leguxi Accra is so polite. Speaking of this conquest of Tatars, the Oirat has made great efforts. I wonder how you are hurt? I heard that there are horse thieves everywhere on the grassland. Are you not calm all the way?"

The envoy of the Ola, Temur, hurriedly bowed and smiled, "Thank you for your care. Our Ola tribe..., uh... has not been damaged in strength, but Lord Yibula secretly came to plan to send troops together with Queen Doyan. On the way back, he was accidentally killed by Boyan's cavalry. The new leader Lord Huosie fell into the battlefield again, which led to the morale of our army being greatly devastated and unable to recover. If it were not for the military and horses of the Celestial Dynasty, the Ola would have suffered from this evil Lane."

Yang Ling smiled faintly and said to himself: "Have you ever been damaged? It seems that Accra is very worried now. Such a bluff is just to raise the bargaining chips for negotiation. I won't expose you, let you see my strength later, let's bargain again."

"Duke, these geniuses are pretty and have excellent dancing skills. Do you want them to sing and dance to the Duke to entertain the fun?"

Seeing that Yang Ling had never replied to his request, Temur felt a little anxious, but he knew that Yang Ling would not agree to such a thing after just a little negotiation, so he had to calm down and deal with it slowly. As long as Yang Ling agreed, the Ming Dynasty's first powerful minister nodded, it would be much easier to deal with the Ming court, so he suppressed his temper and wanted to launch a beautiful offensive first.

A guard quietly flashed to Yang Ling and whispered: "Duke, Queen Yin Qi has arrived at the camp gate."

Yang Ling's eyes flashed, he glanced at the more than ten beautiful beauties with a slim look, stood up and said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, this song and dance. Hahaha, my country's public has time to slowly appreciate it. The beauty is like jade and dances gracefully. You should hold a luminous cup in the night brocade tent, taste wine, and enjoy it with fun. What does the messenger of Temuer think?"

Temuer understood and laughed loudly, "What the Duke said is that the next ordinary person is not as elegant as this."

The two looked at each other and laughed. Yang Ling bypassed several cases and waved his hand and said, "Come on, take these beauties down and take good care of them." Then he smiled at Temu and said, "Akra is so kind, my country's Duke will refuse."

Seeing that he happily accepted these beauties, Temur was extremely happy and quickly stood up and paused and said, "It should be, the Duke of the State has been fighting for the peace of the grassland. This is a small gift from our tribe. It is not worthy of respect."

Yang Ling smiled and said, "Okay, what is discussed in Accra... This matter is too important. Well, my country's Duke must consider it carefully before he can reply. Uh... There is a routine military practice in our army. My country's Duke wants to go and see it. Did the envoy of Temurt have arranged a residence? If it is not convenient in Duoyan City, you can stay in my camp. When I have any worries, I will call you to discuss it."

Temuer looked moved and said hurriedly: "I dare not have a duty to help the Duke. No matter what, we and Duoyan always have an alliance to fight against the Tatars. Even if they don't welcome me, they won't be able to rush me to leave. Hahaha... I have my own place to live. But..."

His eyes slighted Yang Ling, and he looked full of admiration and said, "When he came down, he heard that the Duke's heavenly soldiers lost their warmth in Hulan and defeated Boyan Mengke with extremely sharp firearms. People said that the firearm was so powerful that it was like the sky collapsed and the earth was so exciting that it was so longing for. Since the Duke wanted to perform martial arts, I wonder if I would be lucky enough to see the bravery of the army of the Celestial Dynasty?"

Yang Ling laughed in his heart and said, "It's all right. Special Envoy Temurt is a guest from afar. Is there any reason to refuse? Let's go and have a look together."

Yin Qi strode in front with a horse whip with a black snake-skinned horse whip, followed by more than a dozen guards on the back and waist and a Ming army captain. The captain hurriedly explained: "Queen, the Duke of the Kingdom is receiving the Oirat envoy, so he is inconvenient to get up to greet him. Please forgive me. Can you go to the side tent first..."

"No need! I don't have that big show!" Yin Qi raised his horse whip and interrupted the captain's words. His bright eyes had already set his eyes on the largest military tent, and the group of people inside were walking out talking and laughing.

A young man, wearing a turban, a robe with a lace-green lace, a leather belt, a handsome and graceful figure, was a rare beauty. Yin Qi curled his lips and said to himself: "Yang Ling is as beautiful as jade. She is indeed a rare handsome man, but she is still a bit worse than my elder brother Yang."

The eyes turned again and saw Cheng Qiyun beside him, his lips were as red as red, his eyes were clear and clear. His skin was delicate, pink and white, and his face looked like a peach blossom blooming. Especially the charm between his eyebrows was really beautiful.

Yin Qi was shocked: "Why is she here? Yes, Yang Ling has such outstanding appearance and demeanor, and has the ability to be well-rounded. I think she likes someone? She... she is Brother Yang's sister. If she likes Yang Ling, the two families will be considered as being in-laws. I am Brother Yang's wife. How should I calculate this?"

Yin Qi was thinking, Yang Ling had seen her, and Cheng Qiyun whispered: "She can't hold back any more. What are you going to do? Are you going to show up in person later?"

Yang Ling glared at her and snorted, "Can you really use your strategy? Let her get married, and let me have another Li Dai Taozhuan? Let someone tell Ying'er and let her come here too."

After Yang Ling finished speaking, he walked towards Yin Qi. Yin Qi's eyes turned around the man dressed in Mongolian clothes behind him. Knowing that this person must be the Oirat envoy, he immediately bowed to Yang Ling and said, "Duke Weiguo".

"Yang Ling has seen the queen. Haha, the Bayar brothers have received the invitation to the land. It is because there are still guests in the house, so I can't get out for a while. I thought I would go back to pay my respects to the queen, but why did you work for the carriage?"

Yin Qi smiled slightly and said, "I want to discuss some things with the Duke of China. I thought it was because I was not sincere enough and could not urge the Duke of China, so I came to welcome him in person. I don't think that the Duke of China really has guests, I don't know if this person is..."

Yang Ling smiled and said, "Oh. This is Temuer, the envoy of the Ola tribe."

Temur hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to pay homage to Queen Yinqi, greeting him in Mongolian. Yang Ling smiled and said, "The envoy of Temur is about to see our army guards practicing firearms. If the queen doesn't dislike it, she might as well go and watch it. After the work is done, she will send the envoy of Temur and ask the queen to enter the account to discuss the matter."

Queen Yinqi once heard Agudamu say that the powerful firearm displayed by the Ming army in Hulanhudeng. When she heard it, she immediately aroused curiosity and temporarily suppressed her worries. She followed them to the school grounds.

Yang Ling did not live in Duoyan City. His military camp was stationed outside the city, forming a horn with Hongniang's white-clothed army camp. It was like the two iron fists guarding Duoyan City built against the mountain. The so-called school ground was actually a temporary land for soldiers to practice military martial arts.

The soldiers set up hundreds of weeds and human-shaped targets in the distance, led the soldiers and generals to run forward to meet Yang Ling, and then ran back after waiting for the instructions, and issued a series of instructions loudly.

Yinqi and Temuer watched curiously as a group of soldiers carrying muskets, quickly lined up in neat rows under the command of the general, and then ran to the shooting site, lined up in four horizontal lines, and knelt on one knee in the first two rows, and then a wonderful performance began.

The gunshots were as dense as fried beans. The targets in the distance were instantly broken into pieces, and some grounds even caught fire. Because the target was filled with some soil, the dust splashed everywhere. Although the bullets could not be seen flying when they were fired, the bullets could be estimated from the shooting situation where hundreds of targets were shot from a distance.

Yin Qi and Temuer noticed that the Ming army's firearms had no fuse leads, and they stood in a queue of two of them to exert the power of the firearms to the limit. The first row of singular soldiers fired, and then handed the gun to the second row. At this time, the even number of soldiers fired, and handed the gun to the second row. At this time, the second row of soldiers had handed the loaded ammunition back to the first row of singular soldiers and asked them to continue shooting, and at the same time replaced the returned muskets. The entire musket strike process continued and never stopped.

Yin Qi and Temuer couldn't help but change their colors suddenly. The Ming army had muskets. The reason why the Mongolian cavalry did not take the Ming army's firearms seriously was that they had a slow firing speed. As long as they fought for casualties, they could use the firearms to replace ammunition and the cavalry's speed to get close, and they started their one-sided killing performance.

However, the Ming army's firearms are strangely no longer using fuses, but they can still fire quickly. This is not counting. They handed over the refueling ammunition to the second row of soldiers. The entire firearm attack never stops. The scimitar and fast horse whirlwind cavalry can't get close. Even if someone among them is injured or killed, the soldiers can still load and fire themselves. In this entire shooting queue, a small number of such soldiers will not have much impact. Moreover, they still squatted in two columns.

If the Ming army fought against the Mongolian cavalry in this way, then... Queen Yinqi and Oirat envoy Temuer were a little scared: that would be a one-sided slaughter, how many flesh and blood would be used to fill their storm-torn strikes?

"In the past, when Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty was conquering Mahamu, he used a similar arrangement. However, there were three formations at that time. Now, our muskets no longer need to be ignited by the fuse. The speed is much faster, and two formations are enough. In addition, the two formations will be squatting, and the strike will be like a storm, with ammunition and shooting, and it will never stop."

Yang Ling explained casually. Yin Qi couldn't help asking: "I heard that there was a wheeled bead gun when attacking Boyan, and a weapon with palm thunder?"

Yang Ling glanced at her with a smile and said, "Yes, but the Lianzhu muskets are powerful. After the war is over, I asked someone to take them back to the ward. Is the queen interested in this? We are developing a new type of artillery with even greater power and lightweight and flexible cannon body. When the development is successful, we can use a horse to carry it. You can travel a hundred miles a day. If the queen is interested, you can invite the queen to watch it at that time."

Temuer's face turned a little pale, Yang Ling pretended not to see it and said, "But that thunder in the palm. Well, my guards carry it with me. Come on, try a grenade. The Queen and Temuer's envoy want to watch it."

At that time, the guards who were prepared had raised four wooden boards in the distance, pulled up something similar to a house, then hung a grenade with a crossbar, pulled the lead, turned around and ran away, crawled into the pit dug in advance.

In fact, Yang Ling had prepared these things long ago. He originally wanted to use force to Yin Qi to show off, but now he was just right for the Oirats to take a look. The reason why the grenade did not need to be thrown but hung inside was because it was difficult to control the explosion time. When the grenade exploded in the air, the killing effect was definitely more powerful than the explosion after landing.

Moreover..., because it is far away, it is not so real. The grenade that Yang Ling hangs is more accurate than a grenade, which is 3 or 4 in size.

There was a loud bang, and the huge wooden walls on all sides were lifted far away by an explosion of air waves like snowflakes. Yin Qi and Temuer were scared and shivered. Yang Ling smiled and said, "Let's go, let's check the explosion effect."

When they walked to one side, they flew out of the wooden board. Yinqi and Temuer discovered that the wooden board was extremely thick, with thick wooden boards added vertical strips of wood to fix it.

Yang Ling said: "Our grenades do not use explosive power as a damage, so they did not explode these thick wooden boards. They mainly used various steel needles, steel balls, iron sheets, etc. in the grenades to kill the enemy, so the range of killing is very wide and the shield is difficult to resist. Come on, turn the wooden boards over."

Several soldiers hurriedly turned the wooden board over and lifted Yang Ling and others in front of them. They saw the inner pits of the entire wooden board, dense steel balls, steel needles, and iron sheets were vertical and obliquely pierced the entire board surface, deeply trapped in hardwood, and there were terrifying slip marks on the wooden board. You can imagine how lethal it would be if such a thing was released in the galloping horse herd.

Yang Ling looked at Yin Qi and Temuer with a strange look, and smiled and said, "Okay, let the soldiers continue to train, Qiyun, send the Temuer envoy on my behalf, I will accompany the queen to return to the account first." He gave Cheng Qiyun a secret wink, Cheng Qiyun understood, smiled at Temuer, and said, "Sir Special Envoy, please."

Watching the two of them leave, Yin Qi was puzzled: "Why... Is the sister of King Beiying very familiar with him?"

Yang Ling returned to the central army tent with Yin Qi, full of doubts. The two of them sat down with the guests. Yin Qi asked straight to the point: "Duke, please forgive me for taking the blame. I don't know what the Oirats intend to visit this time? After all, the Oirats are not as weak as the Tatars. As the King of Duoyan, I dare not be careless."

"Oh! This, the queen doesn't have to worry. The Oirats are now suffering severe damage and dare not break up and use war against Duoyan." Yang Ling looked at the cute girl in front of her who pretended to be old-fashioned but still childish. Seeing that she was obviously relieved, she couldn't help but feel a little funny.

He poured a cup of tea for Yinqi and brought it to her. He said, "The Oirats retreated to a corner of the northwest by the Tatars, and life was not easy. Now the Tatars have been destroyed. They want to send troops to occupy the grassland at Duta and Huanghuerhuai in the east and Yijinai in the south, so Accra sent people to see me to test the Ming Dynasty."

"Puff!" Yin Qi sprayed out a mouthful of tea and kept coughing. His pretty face turned red with a swelling and red.

"Queen is careful, but the tea is too hot." Yang Ling immediately stepped forward and patted her back gently.

"Um... cough cough..." The tea choked into his throat. Yin Qi couldn't speak at all. Although he felt that Yang Ling suddenly came forward to beat his back and was a little disrespectful, he could not speak, and it was difficult to push it away. He coughed at the other person and was impolite, so he had to slouch and cough constantly, acquiescing Yang Ling's rudeness.

After a long time, she panted and straightened her waist, and said dizzyly: "Thank you, Duke. I'm fine."

She opened the distance from Yang Ling without any trace, sat back on the chair and said, "Duke, the two lands that the Oirat wanted are all the Tatar territory. They..."

Yang Ling smiled slightly and said, "Yes, the Tatars first lost the hand of Ling Zunhua as the prince, and were then taken back by Boyan. After a series of wars, the internal chaos was already in chaos. Now, as long as there is a force willing to accept them, they can easily turn them into their own tribes. In the war against the Tatars, the Oirats also made great efforts. Although in the final decisive battle, they fled back to their headquarters, this could not erase their previous achievements, so they naturally have the right to claim compensation."

"Hmph! I just don't know if the Ola now has the ability to fight with me Duoyan," Yin Qi raised his eyebrows and said majestic.

Yang Ling took a sip of tea and said slowly: "If the Ming Dynasty allows it, they can."

"You!" Yin Qi glared at Yang Ling with hatred. She was about to rise with both hands. But thinking about her current situation and her reliance on the Ming Dynasty, she couldn't help but sit back slowly. She looked at Yang Ling steadily and said, "Duke, the Ming Dynasty wants to support Ola and balance Duoyan?"

Yang Ling smiled and looked at her for a moment, until Yin Qi felt uncomfortable and slowly flashed away his eyes, then said, "Yin Qi, you are a smart person. Let's put aside your identity as a prince and have a heart-to-heart talk as a friend.

You should know that as long as the grassland is unified, the blade will definitely point directly to the Central Plains. This has been the case for thousands of years. Maybe you won’t be when you were kings, but can you guarantee that the next generation of the three guards of the Doyans will not be like this? The Ming Dynasty has no hostility towards you, the Oirat and even the Tatars. Everything we do is to prevent a powerful enemy from appearing to capture our territory."

"But, with the current force of the Ming Dynasty and the powerful firearms that the Duke of the State just showed, who else can pose a threat to the Han people's territory?"

"If a person has no long-term plan, he will have immediate worries. What's more, our earth fire weapons are good for defense, but they are not good for attack. We cannot always wait passively, right? Only a thousand days of being a thief, how can we defend against thieves for thousands of days? What's more, we are also for the peace of the grassland."

Yang Ling said jokingly: "The Ola is very respectful to the Ming Dynasty now. Of course, we cannot send troops to a tribe surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. If they have lived in a corner of the northwest for a long time, as the population grows, the barren grassland cannot support them. They must develop eastward and will sooner or later fight with you."

"And you, you still can't afford to take over the strength of this huge grassland. It is impossible to control all the Tatar territory in your hands. The result of forcibly occupying it is that the front line is lengthened and the troops are dispersed. You cannot control any place in your hands. The result is that you are driven out sooner or later.

Don’t forget that the Tatars and the Oirat have been ruled by each other for more than a hundred years, but you have always lived in the east. Your influence among the Tatar herders is far less than that of the Oirat. If you are anxious, you can’t eat hot tofu. The result of being too hasty is failure!”

Yin Qi glanced at him and said angrily: "After all, the result is not the same?"

"It's different. You don't know what I want to give him or what I want to give him. You don't know what I want to give you what I want to give you." Yang Ling said quietly.

Yin Qi's eyes flashed and he said, "Oh? Then I'm going to listen carefully. Please tell me!"

Yang Ling closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said, "I have carefully considered the needs of the Ola. In fact, the territory they have is already quite large, from the west to the Teliang Guxi (now Omsk Prefecture, Russia) to the north to the Qiergis (now Krasnoyarsko Prefecture, Russia). When it comes to the lush grasslands, it is indeed not as good as the two places they like."

That large area of ​​territory was actually extremely fertile land, suitable for planting barley and wheat. Now, relying solely on the primitive nomadic methods of the Oirats, of course, is not enough to feed their population, and is regarded as a barren land by them.

Yang Ling said: "You can't eat the entire grassland, and those tribes cannot let them fight each other and fall into turmoil. Leave it to the Oirats to manage it, so that the grassland can be calmed down temporarily. However, this grassland will not be handed over to them in vain. The Ming Dynasty also made great efforts in this battle. We will ask them to allocate the Baersikuo Mountain and Jinshan area to the Ming Dynasty in exchange."

Yin Qi was a little angry. Yang Ling's tone clearly regarded the entire grassland as his vegetable garden. They had to say the end of this piece of planting onions and the garlic. However, her power was originally only three garrisons in Liaodong. She had never been involved in such a vast grassland. Not only was the size of the entire grassland unimaginable, but now she only regarded the grassland as her trophy in love, and it was not so difficult to accept that there was no concept of territory that originally belonged to her.

It can be said that one tenth of this huge grassland was allocated to her, and it was a huge piece of land that made people dizzy, but it felt like they were being used in their emotions, so they couldn't accept it.

Yangling asked the Oirat to exchange the Baersikuo Mountain and Jinshan Mountains. Then the Oirat's territory did not actually expand, but the territory close to the Ming Dynasty moved from west to east, bordering the land that the three guards of Duoyan were about to occupy. This naturally had a more obvious effect on checks and balances between each other.

Baersikuo Mountain, Jinshan Mountains... Yin Qi suddenly figured it out that the Ming Dynasty had been competing with King Hami for the important pass of the Western Regions of Hami. Because he did not have an advantage in geographical advantages, he worked hard to expedition. He was defeated repeatedly, and now the Hami Guard has fallen into the hands of King Hami.

If the Ming Dynasty occupied the Baersikuo Mountains and Jinshan Mountains, a military situation would be formed to surround Hami, and Hami's important geographical role would be lost. Not only would it become a fat piece of meat within the Ming Dynasty, but it would be easy for the Ming Dynasty to launch its troops to the 36 countries in the Western Regions.

Yin Qi was secretly shocked: "He has such a big appetite!" Looking at Yang Ling in front of him, he looked smiling and kind. In Yin Qi's heart, he was no less than a demon who eats people and does not spit bones. She subconsciously shrank down and asked: "Then will other territories be taken over by our Duoyanwei?"

Yang Ling looked at her for a while and asked, "You are receiving these territories now. Do you have enough food to allow the tribe who surrendered to you to spend the winter safely? Your city is here, between the Damingwei Office in Liaodong, and it is located in a corner. It can be said that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Are you sure that you can control the entire grassland in your hands?"

Yin Qi said juicyly: "Duke, I...I have invited Duke today, but it is actually for this matter. You know, such a large piece of land has been conquered, and I have not discarded it. Besides, my subordinates are now in high spirits and hope that I can accept the Tatar grassland as soon as possible, divide the territory, and reward the three armies. I cannot ignore their wishes.

However, to accept this large area of ​​land and tribe, the big problem this winter is food. I want to borrow food from the Ming Dynasty. I wonder if the Duke can help and convince the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? You know, we, Duoyanwei, have always been close to the Han people and surrendered to the Khan of Heaven, and we can control the grassland. It is much more beneficial to the Ming Dynasty than the desperate Tatars who elected an ambitious leader."

"Food...that requires a lot of food!" Yang Ling sighed.

Yin Qi's face turned a little red, and Chi Chi said, "I know, but due to the war, our cattle and horses were too much to lose. If we exchange things, we can no longer afford to exchange them."

Yang Ling spread his hands and blinked and said, "So, how do you want me to convince the emperor, persuade the ministers of the Ming Dynasty's court to agree to transport grain outside the pass?"
To be continued...
