E'linchen and Omubu were both shocked at the same time, their eyes filled with reluctance and helplessness.
They had already guessed Chongzhen's purpose, which was nothing more than sending troops together.
Although they say they will send troops together, there is a high probability that they will be used as shields and rushed to the front on the battlefield.
Whether they agree or not, the tribe will face a fatal blow.
Looking at the expressionless faces of the two, Chongzhen laughed: "You two are worrying too much. The Ming Dynasty not only has tens of thousands of cavalry, but also hundreds of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of warships! These forces are enough to recover Liaodong. You don't need to send troops."
E'linchen, whose thoughts were exposed, was the first to answer: "I am the Shunli King of the Ming Dynasty. I have the responsibility to help the court recover Liaodong. The Ordos tribe is ready to be dispatched at any time!"
Ombu followed closely and expressed his loyalty.
Chongzhen smiled and continued to shake his head: "No need! What I want to discuss with you is not sending troops to Liaodong, but sending troops to the grassland."
"Grassland?" E'linchen and O'mubu were a little confused.
"Yes," Chongzhen put away his smile, "In order to recover Liaodong, I will mobilize the elite troops of Xuanda to rush to the front line, and there will be a shortage of troops in the Xuanda area."
"The Chachahar tribe, which had previously suffered heavy casualties, is very likely to take the opportunity to invade the border in order to recover its losses."
"So I want you to expand your power eastward and reduce the Chahar tribe's range of activities. If you encounter the Chahar tribe, fight them if you can. If you can't, it doesn't matter. Just tell the border guards the news as quickly as possible!"
That’s it?
E'linchen and Omubu were shocked by Chongzhen's request.
This task is too easy!
The two looked at each other and said at the same time: "I obey your order!"
"Okay, let's drink!" Chongzhen took the full wine glass from Wang Chengen and drank happily with the two Mongolian kings of different surnames.
Since both E'linchen and Omubu were afraid of alcohol, the banquet ended earlier than expected.
Chongzhen no longer needed to worry about the rest of the matters and could just leave them to the ministers.
These ministers did not disappoint Chongzhen's trust. Not only did they get the Mongols drunk, they also settled their hostages properly.
More than twenty days later, the Mongolian delegation reluctantly left the capital.
Early in the morning of the second day after they left the capital, Chongzhen summoned cabinet members to the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters.
The topic of discussion was just two words: pacify Liao!
