    Although Buri Gude was resentful, he still had to obey this arrangement. He and the old lama only brought ten people with Ning Ximing into the city, but Gong Nai, who was the envoy to receive him, had long since disappeared!

    The five hundred cavalry led by Burigude and Zhou Kang's two hundred men were taken to the west camp of the city. The Mongols were to be monitored at the west camp, while Zhou Kang and his two hundred men were to be in the capital.  Waiting to escort the Mongolian envoy back to Datong!

    After entering Beijing, the resentment in Burigude's heart was gradually replaced by fear, because he found that Beijing is now like a huge construction site, with tens of thousands of slaves and an equal number of hired workers building new city walls and roads!

    The reason why Burigude could see the difference between slaves and hired workers was that many of the slaves were Mongolians, and a few were Koreans and Jurchens. Although their clothes were dirty and torn, they could still be seen.  Show obvious national characteristics!

    In addition, these people are all disheveled, with numb expressions, and are engaged in the heaviest labor. They are also guarded by guards armed with whips and long knives at their waists, so it is not difficult to guess their identities!

    On the contrary, the hired workers are different. Although these people are wearing shabby clothes and their bodies are covered with dirt and stains, they are full of energy and work hard.  Thousands of people working together are really in full swing!

    What surprised Burigude the most was that the newly built city walls were not only tall and wide, but also had a three-story platform constructed of four square stone pillars six to seven feet high every fifty steps.  , the stone pillars extending horizontally are also two to three feet long. Obviously, platform crenels will also be built on the extending stone pillars.

    Burigude was very surprised. How could such long stone pillars be made the same in length and thickness? Moreover, with Burigude's eyesight, he could not tell what kind of stones they were, let alone what the stone pillars were.  How are they connected together?

    With deep doubts, Burigude looked at the old lama. As a result, what he saw on the old lama's face was also deep doubts. It was obvious that this knowledgeable old lama did not know what happened.  what's going on!

    However, as an envoy, spying on intelligence was Burigude's main task. Since he had doubts at this time, he tentatively asked Ning Ximing: "Master Ning, your capital has been built for hundreds of years, why is it starting to build again?"  Already?"

    Ning Ximing said with an arrogant look: "The national policy I want for the Ming Dynasty is to have no fraternity, no surrender, no tribute, the emperor will guard the country, and the king will die. Therefore, Beijing's defense has never slackened!"

    Burigude pretended to be surprised and said: "It turns out that when our great Lin Dan Khan built Chahanhot, I also participated in the construction of the city wall, but I only knew that the city wall needed rammed earth to be covered with bricks, but that kind of stone platform had never been built.  I¡¯ve seen it before, but I don¡¯t know how it was built and what purpose it serves?¡±

    Ning Ximing didn't seem to know that Burigude was inquiring about information, and said casually: "That's not a stone platform. I called it a reinforced concrete frame platform to your majesty. I don't know exactly how to build it, but according to what your majesty said,  It is said that this kind of platform is built to imitate a European bastion and has dual functions of defense and offense. However, I am a civil servant and do not work in the Ministry of Industry, so this is all I know about the things inside!"

    Burigude didn¡¯t listen to Ning Ximing¡¯s explanation, but he was just confused. After hearing Ning Ximing¡¯s explanation, he was simply confused. He had never heard of anything like a reinforced concrete frame platform or a European bastion!

    But although the official of the Ming Dynasty in front of him is not strict with his words, he is a complete dilettante, even worse than a dilettante. He only knows the name of everything and knows nothing else!

    With this maddening doubt, Burigude and his party were led to Honglu Temple by Ning Ximing.

    Arriving at the gate of Honglu Temple, Ning Ximing said: "Your envoy will check into Honglu Temple first, and negotiations will begin in three days!"

    Burigude said in bewilderment: "What does Master Ning mean by negotiation?"

    Ning Ximing smiled slightly and said: "Your envoy has come all the way here, so he must have something to discuss. This so-called negotiation means that we and your envoy have settled all the things that need to be discussed, and then ask for your majesty's permission to use the seal. If  If the negotiation is not successful, your envoy will have no need to meet with His Majesty!"

    Burigude was even more confused this time. He said unhappily: "Didn't you meet His Majesty the Ming Emperor directly before? Why did you cause such an incident again?"

    Ning Ximing showed a look of helplessness and said: "In the past, even if your envoy came to see your Majesty to submit a petition, your Majesty would have to discuss it with the cabinet ministers before deciding whether to approve it. Now your Majesty feels that this is the case."It would be too much of a waste of time, so you ask me to wait until everything that needs to be discussed is settled, and then just ask for permission. This can be regarded as His Majesty's new policy today, so please bear with me!  "

    When Burigude heard this, he knew that it was useless to say any more, so he had to smile bitterly and said: "In this case, I will wait for three days. I hope that Lord Ning and that Lord Gong will stop deliberately making things difficult for you!"

    Ning Ximing did not pay attention to the sarcasm in Burigude's words. Instead, he smiled and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, please rest peacefully! You can wander around as you like in these two days, but except for the food and drinks in Honglu Temple, other expenses are  It¡¯s up to you to bear the responsibility!¡±

    Burigude was unable to say anything now. He just smiled wryly, stroked his chest and saluted, "Thank you, Lord Ning, for reminding me!"

    Ning Ximing clasped his fists and said, "Farewell!"

    Then he took a group of guards and rode away!

    Looking at the backs of Ning Ximing and others, Burigude murmured to himself: "The current Ming Dynasty is really hard to see through!"

    "Alas!" The old lama also sighed softly: "In the past, the Ming Dynasty was huge and stupid, and the warriors on the grassland could tear flesh and blood from it at any time. But now the Ming Dynasty has become cruel and wise, and the warriors on the grassland have become cruel and wise.  If the warrior wants to bite it at will, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be that easy!¡±

    Burigude looked at the old lama and asked with a sad face: "Master, can we still fulfill the Great Khan's instructions?"

    The old lama pondered for a moment, and finally said with a hint of helplessness: "Now we can only take one step and see one step. Since Mingren has arranged for negotiations in three days, let's settle down first and see more of Beijing's scenery in these two days. Even if it's the last  Even if we are unable to fulfill the Great Khan¡¯s instructions, we must try our best to bring back news about the Ming Dynasty so that the Great Khan can be prepared to deal with the Ming Dynasty again!¡±

    Burigude also felt that this was the end of the plan for now, so he nodded and said: "The master said yes, let's settle down first and then talk!"

    Burigude and his party entered Honglu Temple and were quickly arranged to stay by a cold-faced official. Then the official said that they were handed over to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy and left!

    The young man looked quite honest and honest, and was very kind to Burigude and others. After taking them to a courtyard, Xiaonian said with a smile: "My lords, this is where you all live. Inside  It has been cleaned. If you have any orders, please feel free to greet me. By the way, my name is Xi Gen'er. As soon as you call my name, I will come!"

    This young man can be said to be the most amiable and approachable person Burigude has seen since he took Daming under his wing. This makes Burigude have an infinite fondness for this young man.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
