Chapter 206: Keeping Up With the Commander
Chapter 206 Follow the coach
Yang Ling sat down again and pondered: "Two conditions? Haha, please tell me the messenger of the wooden picture!"
Nomutu smiled slightly and said with a flash of eyes: "The three guards of Duoyan were favored by His Majesty the Emperor and allowed Khan to be king. Of course, even if our great leader was called Khan, he would not dare to be on par with His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Their ranks and inferiority were the same as those of the princes and vassals of the Ming Dynasty."
Yang Ling smiled and said, "That's natural, but Huadang Khan will be able to control the vast grassland, land, cattle and sheep, and will only pay tribute without paying taxes and serving. How can I compare to my vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty?"
Namutu was moved by the beautiful blueprint depicted by Yang Ling, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He calmed down for a moment before pretending to be reserved: "But, the Khan of the Oirat and the Tatars were both personally enthroned by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so we hope to get the personal order of His Majesty the Emperor and give him golden seals and talismans."
Yang Ling suddenly realized that the envoy was afraid that the Ming Dynasty would just verbally agree. They had the least influence among the three ministries of Oala, Tatar and Urianha in Mongolia. Without the public support of the Ming court, the Khan would not be able to continue to do it legitimately, at least until their power was enough to suppress the other two ministries.
Yang Ling pondered for a moment and nodded, "What you are worried about is reasonable. I will report this to the emperor. What is the second thing?"
When Namutu saw Yang Ling agreeing, he sat down opposite him with joy. After thinking about it, he said carefully: "In the past, Emperor Yongle, because our three guards of Duoyan made contributions to the Longjing period, he gave us the Daning Guard (now Chengde City, Pingquan County, Jianchang County and Laoha River Basin).
However... I believe Lord Yang also knows that our three guards live on nomadic life, and cattle and sheep are all ours, but His Majesty Yongle does not allow us to stay in the Daning area. We only have large grasslands, but we cannot use them to grazle cattle and sheep. So I hope the emperor allows us to grazle in the Daning area."
After hearing this, Yang Ling couldn't help but jump. When he speculated about the conditions that the three guards of Duoyan might have put forward, he thought that the three guards of Duoyan might have put forward this condition, but it was unexpectedly true. In fact, decades ago, the three guards of Duoyan were supported by the Korqin tribe who had a marriage relationship with them and then went straight to Kuanhe (Hebei Waterfall) through Huizhou (Pingquan, Hebei) and continued to advance southward.
Now Duoyan Wei goes straight to Xifengkou from Daning City, and across a mountain is Xuanhua, Hebei; Taining Wei's power comes from Jinzhou, Yizhou passes through Guangning Wei to Liaohe River. Fuyu Wei's power comes from Huangniwa to Shenyang, Tieling to Kaiyuan Wei. The Xilamulun River and Liaohe River south of Kaiyuan River, starts from Kaiyuan in the east and is close to Xuanfu in the west, and is actually in the hands of the three Duoyan Wei.
The three guards of Duoyan and the Ming Dynasty coalitions were all required to deal with the Tatars. All they wanted was a publicly enthroned identity of the Ming Dynasty and the recognition of the areas they actually controlled. It seemed that the Ming Dynasty did not suffer any actual losses, but Yang Ling couldn't help but hesitate.
These places are unable to control. In fact, it is true that they have fallen into the hands of the three guards of Duoyan, but the public recognition of their ownership is to cede the territory. This problem is really harmful.
In the past, Emperor Yongle gave them the land of the three guards of Duoyan, and he had already made a fatal mistake. The Ming guards outside the pass were connected into one. The various guards echoed each other with points and surfaces. The three guards of Duoyan broke this strategic system with one loss. The various guards lost an effective connection, and the individual Liaodong guards could not even resist the attack of a small tribe.
These areas are key strategic areas. Yangling is provoking civil strife in Tatars, and then dragged the three guards of Duoyan into the water and increased their troops in Liaodong. He is planning to strengthen control of this area. How can he be willing to grant the population a solid population?
Yang Ling immediately shook his head and said, "Emeng Mutu, you must know that although you take a great risk, your benefits are even greater. Once the Tatars surrender to you, you can choose the most abundant land of water and grass to grazle cattle and sheep. Even if you fail, you retreat to the three guards of Duoyan. If the Ming Dynasty restrains the Tatars, they will not do anything to you. Liaodong is the barrier of the Ming Dynasty's capital, and we cannot give up."
Nomutu opened his mouth and Yang Ling raised his hand and said, "Nomutu Envoy, I don't need to ask His Majesty the Emperor for this matter. There is absolutely no need for negotiation. Liaodong cannot be used to bargain!"
Namutu picked up the milk tea and took a sip, stroked his thick black beard like iron and thought for a while. Then he said, "We have to take great risks in the open break with the Tatars. If there is no guarantee, how can the entire tribe feel at ease? Since the Lord said that... can we reply to His Majesty the Emperor, to show sincerity, our three guards of Duoyan have been married to the court?"
Yang Ling was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Nomutu had the courage to propose marriage. It was so outrageous! Before Huadang became a great khan, Do Yan's three guards thought he was the Northern Yuan court with the four major khanates under his tent? He actually dared to ask for marriage with the Ming court.
When Numutu saw his face darkened, he hurriedly said, "The leader of Huadang has a beloved girl named Yinqi, who is the most beautiful flower on the Kelinqin grassland. She is only 15 years old this year. If His Majesty the Emperor does not dislike him, the leader of Huadang is willing to offer her to His Majesty Zhengde as a concubine..."
Yang Ling Yan Yiji: It turns out that she was going to offer beauty, haha, this makes it a matter of political marriage anyway, it doesn’t matter if it’s ugly. Just go to the palace to offer sacrifices. Anyway, even the queen and the two imperial concubines are now in decorations. Is it almost a bit of a person to eat in the Forbidden City? Besides... Colinqin? Da Yuer, the most beautiful woman in Manchuria, seems to be a girl from the Colinqin grassland. This Miss Yinqi should not look bad.
Thinking of this, Yang Ling smiled and was about to agree to go back to report to Zhengde. Unexpectedly, the words of Mutu changed and continued: "I'm happy to hear that His Majesty the Emperor has two sisters, Princess Yongfu, Princess Yongchun, and the leader of Huadang are willing to marry one of them and help him become the wife of the chief wife. He has a love affair with the Ming Dynasty and the Qin and Jin Dynasty. He will definitely cooperate with each other."
When Yang Ling heard this, his face was "chewing" and then he piled up again: If you marry your daughter, then you will marry your daughter. Why do we have to spare one more?...No, Huadang's daughter married Zhengde, and Zhengde is his son-in-law, and he wants to marry his son-in-law's sister... What a mess?
I heard that Huadang already has five sons and three daughters. It should be an old bearded man in his 50s, right? Let the gentle and lovely little princess Yongfu marry Huadang that old boy? Yang Ling suddenly felt uncomfortable when she thought of this.
Why didn't it be that little girl Yongchun? As soon as this thought arose, Yang Ling had a cold war and felt a chill in his heart. If he dared to agree, he would probably have to carry a sword and chase him all over Datong when he went back, just like he was chasing his father-in-law's brother-in-law.
Yang Ling took a breath and reminded himself secretly: "You are here for peace talks and alliances. Even if you don't agree, you can be more tactful. If you can achieve your goal, you must not learn from Guan Gong to say, "Will my tiger girl marry a dog son?"
He suppressed his anger and put on a disapproving expression and laughed loudly. Nomutu said in surprise: "Why is Lord Yang laughing?"
Yang Ling Zhanxiu laughed and said, "The envoy of the Mutui believes that it is related to the fate of hundreds of thousands of people and the life and death of a clan. Can it really be related to a woman? The Ming Dynasty and the three guards of Duoyan have an alliance, trade with each other, watch over each other, and help each other, and have sincerity.
I have long heard that Huadang's Great Leader is one of the three heroes outside the Frontier. He is talented and has a lofty vision. It is not inferior to Boyan and Huo Siew. How could he hope to make an alliance on marriage? Could it be that the envoy of Nomutu made his own decision? Haha... After the envoy of Nomutu returns, do not mention it to Huadang's Leader, otherwise it will bring shame to Huadang's Leader."
Nomutu's red face was covered with blood and looked a little dark. He said in a slight sense: "The marriage of marriage has been happening in ancient times. In the Han and Tang dynasties, princesses married outside the Great Wall have become a beautiful story for all ages. If marriage cannot show sincerity, then what will Lord Yang use to prove the sincerity of cooperation?"
Yang Ling said without hesitation: "Only with common interests can we cooperate with each other."
He stood up and walked to the Haixi Jurchen envoy Hu Chi and said, "In recent years, the Ming Dynasty and Jurchen transactions have become more frequent. I would like to give an example. Ginseng alone is not easy to preserve because it is difficult to preserve water-soaked ginseng, and Han merchants wantonly lower prices. Your annual losses will be hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, right?"
When this matter was mentioned, Hu Chi was full of anger. They had nothing to produce. They all rely on digging ginseng on the mountain to hunt and change salt and tea from the Han people, cloth and iron pots. The ginseng was the Han people who recognized this thing. They could not sell it in other places, nor did they have so many buyers. The Han merchants had indeed made them suffer due to the price cut. Hu Chi hurriedly stood up and said respectfully: "Sir, I have a clear understanding. My tribe came this time and was willing to join the alliance, hoping that the court could treat the Jurchens fairly."
Yang Ling nodded and said, "I understand that only one ginseng is the only tribe of Haixi Jurchens. You only export more than 50,000 kilograms of ginseng through the Ma market every year. In the past two years, we had a ban on trading with each other for two years. Your ginseng has rotted more than 100,000 kilograms? Therefore, countless people died of poverty. If we form an alliance with our dynasty, we will not ban the market, and we are willing to set official prices and reduce taxes to subsidize Han merchants. Is this the greatest sincerity?"
Hu Chi was overjoyed and lit the ground and pecked the rice. He kept saying, "Of course, of course, thank you Lord Yang, thank you, the emperor, we are willing... willing to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty forever."
Yang Ling nodded, walked to the envoy of the Jianzhou Jurchen Lidou with a smile, and said, "The Jianzhou Jurchen used to raise livestock and eat meat to make a living. My Ming Dynasty made a living by farming fields and eating grains.
But in recent years, you have gradually developed arable land, purchased plowing oxen and iron plows from the Ming Dynasty, hired Han professors to farm, and were as rich as Han people. In the three Jurchen tribes, the three men in your tribe had no plow shovels, women had no needles and cuts, cooking without pots, and eating without salt. I believe the envoys in the beans have a deep understanding?
If we open multiple horse markets, change the first day of the 1st and the fifteenth day of the year to daily markets, and relax the scope of items in the market, do you think this is the sincerity of the Ming Dynasty? Or is it true that we send a princess and bring a dowry of 100,000 taels of silver?"
When Lidouli heard this, his eyes shone. As long as the Ming Dynasty was willing to change the three trading places of the original opening from two trading places to Changshi and relax the restrictions on exchanging items, they would wake up laughing in their dreams and open another trading location? This was beyond their expectations. Lidouli didn't think about it and immediately turned against him: "Of course, it is sincere to completely open the trading places. We don't want much. As long as the Ming Dynasty court is willing to trade with us, the Jianzhou Jurchens will be the eternal subordinates and friends of the Ming Dynasty!"
The envoys of the Duoyan tribes were very moved and could no longer sit still. However, Duoyan's Nomutu was obviously the leader of the envoys of the Duoyan three guards, and they all turned their attention to Nomutu. Seeing this scene, Nomutu pondered: "What the Lord said is very much, but in this case, how should we believe in the sincerity of the Ming court?"
Yang Ling raised his finger and said, "First, it is also a public transaction. I believe your troops will benefit greatly from it; second, it is military cooperation. Once troops are used, the Ming Dynasty will send troops from the Xuanhua and Liaodong routes to form a horn. The middle road is in the middle. If there is no intention to cooperate, our heavy troops in Liaodong will be in danger. This can show our sincerity, right?
Third, just like the attack of Yesian Taishi of the Oirat was blocked by the attack on Yanjing, and this time the attack of Boyan was frustrated. After returning to the Tatars, civil strife will surely arise. We do not need you to send troops now. Both sides can open the horse market first. When the troops are strong and food is sufficient, they will take them down in a row. You can act according to the opportunity and take the initiative. Can the above show our sincerity? The envoy of the Mutu”.
When Numutu heard this, he raised his eyebrows, stood up and pressed his chest with one hand. He said solemnly: "We believe in the sincerity of His Majesty the Emperor. I will report to the leader of Huadang as soon as possible."
Yang Ling smiled happily and said, "Okay. Then I will wait for good news from all the messengers in Datong City."
He walked back to the table, picked up the bowl of milk tea and drank it all in one sip, and then laughed loudly: "Next time, I will entertain all the envoys in Datong. I hope you can bring good news that Hua is the leader of the great leader at that time. Everyone, let's say goodbye!"
Seeing more than a hundred light cavalry gradually disappearing into the valley, the envoys of various tribes were still standing at the entrance of the valley. Geriletai, the envoy of the tribe of Wengniut, walked to the side of Namutu with a contemptuous look on his face and said respectfully: "Sir Huadang, do you think this envoy of the Ming Dynasty is credible?"
Huadang, who was a pseudonym Nomutu, had a little bit of a mercy and had a sharp and shrewd look. He stroked his beard and smiled faintly: "If they just use us, they will definitely not pay attention. Then I ask for a price everywhere, and they can agree first. The alliance is fake. Do you still care about fake or personal cessation? This envoy of the Ming Dynasty is so cautious, it seems that he is indeed sincere."
Geriletai breathed a sigh of relief. Zhan Yan smiled and said, "It's good to have sincerity. To be honest, our tribe against the Tatars will bring death to our tribes, but against the Ming Dynasty will not only bring death, but also poverty, which is even more unbearable than death.
If the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was really not a cowardly monarch, but was as great as the original Hongwu Tian Khan and Yongle Tian Khan, then obeying the will of this Zhengde Tian Khan may be a very correct choice for us."
Hua Dang smiled cunningly and said, "If Boyan was really so easy to deal with, would the Ming Dynasty have offered such generous conditions? Don't look at Boyan suffering a great loss outside Datong City, the eagle will soon lick its wounds when it returns to the grassland.
The golden signboard of the direct descendants of the Golden Family will quickly replenish his tribes and soldiers unless... the civil strife of the Tatars that Lord Yang said really will happen, but Boyan's reputation is at its peak. Is there anyone within the Tatars really dare to go against him?
Don’t rush to tie yourself to the tree in the Ming court. When the sun is hot, you can borrow its shade. If it can’t shelter us from the wind and rain, then ride on the horse and run far away, hahahahaha..."
A pair of bright eyes as bright as Chenxing glared at him fiercely. This was a handsome and handsome "boy". However, as a man on the grassland, although he was young, he thought it was too thin and his facial features were too delicate and delicate.
A short robe with bearskin, high-waisted ground leather boots, a pair of thick eyebrows under the brown and yellow leather hat, a pair of thick eyebrows as stained as ink, a erect nose, a small and plump lips, and a clear and perfect line of the oval face. He snorted unhappily: "Since that's the case, why did my father promise me to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? What if the Ming Dynasty minister agreed just now?"
This man was one of the eight guards in the tent. He was standing in the shadow just now and no one paid attention to him. When he spoke, he realized that he was a girl. Hua Dang was stunned and laughed and hugged her shoulders and said, "Yinqi, isn't it good to marry into the Ming court? The house of a centurion is richer than our big tent. An ordinary rich man's family can buy all the cattle and sheep in our family. If he becomes a concubine, he will live in heaven."
The girl snorted disdainfully and said, "I don't care. My husband wants to ride a fast horse and shoot sharp arrows. If he is the most amazing hero on the grassland, he will follow him to the ends of the world. No matter how hard he is, I will not be afraid. It turns out that the emperor of the court has to carry him over from one house to another. Oh my God, I will go crazy when I think about it."
Huadang, Geriletai, Aqimai and others burst into laughter after hearing this...
"I just heard the adult laughing loudly, and I felt relieved. Otherwise, after waiting for so long, I couldn't help but lead someone to rush in," Xu Tai whipped the horse's buttocks and said with a smile.
"Sir. Have you reached an agreement with the envoy of the Three Guards of Duoyan?" Liu Biao asked excitedly as he ran up. The war horse had just climbed up a small mountain ridge, and Yang Ling stopped reins. Looking at the snow-capped mountains as far and wide as silver under the bright sunshine, he said, "It's hard to say. These people are very speculative. Although they are quite moved by our Xu Nuo's conditions, they must be able to do things for us with one heart. It may not be so easy."
He suddenly smiled and said, "Fortunately, my purpose is to bind them to the Oirat, and then bind them with mutual markets. The bet that decides the victory or defeat is not bet on this fence, hahaha... I just laughed. It was because Huadang's envoy actually proposed to exchange kinship with me, Daming, to marry Huadang's youngest daughter to the emperor, and then let the current emperor's sister marry Huadang's. Hey! The three guards of Duoyan are becoming more and more arrogant."
He turned around and looked at the mountains that were stacked with eyes flashing, and he thought to himself: "Doyan's three guards are disrespectful to get up early. It seems that it is right to lead them to the bay of Tatars. Judging from the attitude of the Jurchens, it seems that you can use it for an unfair boxing match. You have to find a helper for the weak side, and this fight is wonderful."
Xu Tai said resentfully: "Bah! What is Hua Dang's identity? He is worthy of marrying my Princess of the Ming Dynasty. If he is a palace maid like Wang Zhaojun or an ordinary royal family woman, then that's almost the same. I guess he refused it all at once?"
Yang Ling turned around and said seriously: "Xu Tai, you are wrong! He said he was a royal princess. Even a humble Han family girl or even a maid maid, we should not let him marry and do things that would insult the country."
He lifted the reins of the horse and walked a few steps on the ridge, facing the whistling mountain wind wrapped in snowflakes, saying loudly: "Good marriage, marriage is the most shameful! Even if the foreign tribes who have been married in ancient times have had good friends with us Han people, it is actually because the strength of the Han people is not insulting. How could they give up their greed just because of a woman?
I deceive myself and build the safety of the country on sacrificing the happiness of a woman, letting her be ravaged by foreign countries, and even contrary to our Central Plains customs, father, son and brothers alternately, and give birth to a brother and a son to treat him like a beast, and he also called it "marriage". In fact, it is worse than a pig or a dog. It is simply a coward who swallows his teeth and stomach!"
He turned around and said seriously to Xu Tai, Jing Foer, Liu Biao, Wu Hanchao and others: "A man who does not know that he is a man who is unprosperous in maintaining his dignity in women is a man who is unprosperous in men, and a nation who does not know that he is a man who is unprosperous in men who is unprosperous in men.
Not only do we not want to marry each other, but one day we will kill the desert and take back the stolen Han women, so that those barbarians who act as a mighty and oppress the Han people will surrender to us! You are all heroic men among me, Han people, and we should safeguard the dignity of our Han men. Can you do it?"
Wu Hanchao and others heard this and their expressions became solemn. Xu Tai straightened his back solemnly and was about to answer, but unexpectedly, Liu Dabangchui was already pulling his arms and shouting, "Master, we can do it! We will follow the Master to kill the Tartars, steal women, and fuck his grandmother! Brothers, do you think so?"
After hearing this, more than a hundred lieutenants raised their arms and shouted with murderous intent: "Yes! Follow the general, kill the Tartars, steal women, and fuck his grandmother!"
The mountains roared and echoed, and the snow melted on the snow peak fell down with a bang, rolling into the valley like snow waves.
Yang Ling almost vomited blood when he heard this: "His grandma, what did you say in Liu Dabangchui's mouth? Why is it so unpleasant?"
Taiyuan Central Guard, Taiyuan Left Guard's flags rolled up, war horses neighed, and entered Shanyin County in a mighty way. It was already dusk, and the army was choosing a place to station, burying pots and making rice. Two small schools with the flags of military post messengers hurried into the central army's tent.
Taiyuan Guard Commander Zhang Yin smiled kindly and said, "The two messengers have worked hard all the way, please have a cup of hot tea first."
The two primary schools said solemnly: "Military affairs are in their own hands, and they dare not delay their duties. Here is a letter from Mr. Yang, the general manager of the Three-Prince, please sign for the military information of the commander."
Zhang Yin quickly took the letter and checked the seal of the hot paint. He used the seal on the two of them to sign and collect the book. The two school tea did not take a sip. He said goodbye quickly and left the commander's tent.
Zhang Yin returned to the tent, opened the letter and watched under the lamp, but Yang Yiqing asked his army to move to the old Guangwu Fort and stand by on time. Zhang Yin bounced on the letter paper a few times, smiled slightly, asked the secretary to file the letter, and then called the central officer and said, "I will send an order to go. I will station tonight, and set off for the old Guangwu Fort tomorrow morning."
There are two new and old Guangwu Fort in Shanyin County. The new city was built in the seventh year of Hongwu and is close to the Great Wall. There is a guard stationed. The old Guangwu Fort is located in the west of the new city and is located within the Great Wall. It was originally a place for garrisons. After hearing this, the central officer hurried down to pass the order. Zhang Yin waved his hand and asked his personal soldiers to retreat, holding a cup of tea and frowned and pondered.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, a central army quietly walked in. Zhang Yin didn't look back and pondered for a while before sighing: "After years of hard work, success or failure is right in front of me. I felt nervous."
The central army raised its head and found that it was the day when he sat against Guardian Yu in the "Taibaiju" and drank in the green robe. He said respectfully: "Master, my sect is prosperous and prosperous, but now Zhengde is in a desperate situation and is unconscious. I think he can't escape this time."
Zhang Yin shook his head gently and said, "I heard that he was going to move to the leopard house. I asked someone to lead the thief Yang Hu into the capital. Unexpectedly, he ruined the Guardian Liu for nothing. Two hundred thieves were also beaten by Yang Ling, but Zhengde was not injured at all. When he arrived in Datong, Wang Long was found out by him, and Wang Hu was beheaded together..."
He lay tiredly on the handsome chair and chuckled, "Even the leader of the sect believes in those false statements. Could it be that Yang Ling is the nemesis of our sect? This time, Wang Hu has an important role in the local plan! He can't kill him. Without this person, Zhengde will probably be back to Beijing. Alas!
How many twists and turns I spent and how much money to help him as the general of the Xicheng City defending city, I hope that one day it will be of great use. If he responds at the Xicheng Gate, we will lead Boyan to attack Baidengshan, the alliance land, and then lead the fire to Datong. We will take two steps to make Yang Yiqing lose sight of one thing and unable to rescue and respond, and at least 70% chance of winning. Now Datong is as solid as a god, so there is only..."
He smiled and said, "Although even if the failure is not the one who loses the troops and generals, it would be a pity if such a great opportunity is wasted."
He suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes flashed like lightning, and he said, "That move of chess has not attracted their attention, right?"
The army of the Central Army said sternly: "No, don't worry, leader. In order to keep it confidential, no one in this sect in Datong knows his identity except his subordinates."
Chapter completed!
