"Take it for me."

Lin Dan Batur sat on the sweat seat with a golden knife, took the letter of state handed by the maid, and looked at it quietly, and after a long time, he said:

"I'm really sorry, we are in the Chahar Department, there are not many people who know Chinese characters, even I am a second knife, I can't understand it, and I invite the envoy to go back and wait for some time."

"When we fully understand the meaning of this national letter, how about discussing it again?"

Feng Quan was stunned for a moment, then sneered and said:

"Khan won't, what are you looking at for so long, is it now learning and selling?"

"If you really want to learn, this official can ask Your Majesty for some scholars to come to the grassland to teach Chinese characters and customs."

When the words landed, the ministers of the surrounding Chahar Ministries all shouted.

"Isn't our own writing easy to learn? What do you do when learning Chinese characters? ”

"Return the Chinese character customs, and do your mother's daydream!"

"Hahaha!"

Feng Quan understood Lin Danbatur's intentions very well, and it was obvious that after reading the requirements on the national letter, he was not satisfied with the remuneration, and raised the price by not understanding Chinese characters.

At that time, there was a whistling sound outside the tent, the cold wind was biting, and the goose feathers and snow were falling.

Namu Zhong, Lin Danbatur's wife, now Da Kedun on the grassland, is dressed in a mink fur, accompanied by two Mongolian maids on both sides, and lifts the curtain into the tent.

"I've seen the envoys."

After Namu Zhong entered the account, he gave Feng Quan a salute for the first time, which made the latter, who was feeling angry, a little at a loss, and was stunned for a moment before returning the salute:

"I've seen Da Kedun."

Namu Zhong nodded slightly, and then changed to a domineering attitude, came to the middle of the ministers of the Chahar Ministry, stood against the light, with a cold face, and said:

"We, Chahar, must ally with Daming!"

"The captured cattle and sheep must be returned, and the captured Han people must also be returned!"

Namu Zhong suddenly entered the account and said such categorical words, and given her status as a great knight, the lords and ministers of the Chahar tribes immediately began to discuss.

Namu Zhong turned to look at Lin Dan Batur, lost his arrogance in an instant, fell on his knees like a little lamb, and persuaded:

"Khan, we have made a bad relationship with the Jurchens, we can't tear our faces with Da Ming anymore, except for Da Ming in this world, there is no second family that can help us fight against the Jin people."

Lin Dan Batur's expression became a little uncertain.

Forming an alliance with the Ming Dynasty against the Jin people, he also knows this truth, but once the alliance is formed, he can't go south to fight the grass valley at will every year.

Without such a source of materials, life will not be easy.

This is also the reason why he just gave Feng Quan a cold face and planned to delay the date in order to increase his price.

After a long time, Lin Dan Batur still didn't resist Namu Zhong's firmness, so he had to ask with a calm face:

"If all the captured cattle, sheep and people are returned, how can Daming ensure that my Chahar Department will survive the winter smoothly?"

Yuluo, Gui Yingcha and the others were all silent, waiting for the following, this is the focus of their attention, if there are no proper winter conditions, the Chahar Department will be seriously injured this winter.

Chahar, who was already sandwiched between the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin, will have an even more difficult situation in the coming year, and even if Nurhachi comes, they will become vulnerable.

Zhu Youxiao naturally took this into account.

Since you want the Chahar Department to help you control MonanMongolia and form a barrier, you must help them survive this winter.

A Mongolia that can't stop the Houjin at all, what's the use of the alliance?

Namu Zhong was still lying at the feet of Lin Danbatur and said:

"Has the Great Emperor taken into account the needs of our Chahar Department in winter?"

"We didn't mean to rob you Daming, but if we don't rob you, our herdsmen will starve to death!"

Your own people are starving to death, what are you doing to my Daming, your people come to rob us Daming when they have nothing to eat, what is the reason?

Feng Quan knew this, but for the sake of the alliance's plan, he didn't blurt it out.

He laughed, quite generous as the envoy of the Heavenly Empire, and said:

"Isn't it because you can't beat the Jurchens that you came to rob my Daming?"

"But you have to know that Da Ming is not muddy, the Yongle Five Expeditions are not enough, I don't want to do it again, the Five Expeditions of the Apocalypse can't be successful!"

Gui Yingcha was a little moved, and the case was taken:

"What do you mean by this, to ridicule me, Chahar, who was insulted by Jianzhou?"

Feng Quan smiled slightly and said:

"Your Majesty has long known the current predicament of the Chahar Ministry, and if the Chahar Ministry, if the Chahar Ministry, if they are willing to return the people who have been captured this year, and the cattle and sheep can be kept for themselves, they will be rewarded by the dynasty."

"The Ming Dynasty formed an alliance with the Chahar Ministry to restore the reward of five thousand taels of silver for the Chahar Department to help survive the winter, as for the additional silver reward, it depends on the performance of the Ministry."

Gui Yingcha was faintly uneasy in her heart.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Fight a battle and carry the head of the Jurchens in exchange for an equal amount of silver."

Feng Quan stood in place and said quietly:

"A Jurchen banner person can get five taels; A person wearing a banner in armor can get ten taels; 18 flag foot armor, you can get 35 taels; One eight-banner cavalry can get fifty taels. ”

"As long as you cut off enough 100 heads of the Jiannu Eight Banner Cavalry, you can exchange for an additional 5,000 taels of silver, and 1,000 Jiannu heads will have the same effect."

"Such a reward, I can say that I have already given a very generous reward."

"Khan, are you satisfied?"

Lin Dan Batur was silent for a long time, feeling that this was almost the case, compared to his own Chahar, Daming's situation was actually not much critical.

In a word, Zhu Youxiao can afford it but he can't afford it.

There is no silver reward, every year before the winter, Lin Dan Batur has to gather all the troops to go south, and he is not very self-interested at the expense of others, to put it bluntly, just to survive the winter.

He thought for a while, but said:

"The matter of raising troops to kill slaves, the power needs to be in me, I Chahar Department, I can't listen to the orders of the Ming Dynasty, this is the alliance, not the minister!"

"In addition, the Ming Emperor will also recognize my status as the Khan of the steppe Lin Dan Batur!"

Lin Dan Batur has great ambitions, and he is naturally unwilling to succumb to the Ming Dynasty.

Before Feng Quan came to Chahanhot, he already knew the minimum requirements of the Emperor of the Apocalypse for this "alliance", and these so-called alliances or the titles of ministers were useless for the Ming Dynasty.

Now all Da Ming needs is to provide the necessary help to the Chahar Ministry, so that they can fight with the Jurchens, and use the momentum of going south to Datong to fight the grass valley to earn rewards.

As for the so-called Ming Emperor commanding them to fight, which Lin Dan Batur was worried about, Zhu Youxiao didn't expect this at all, and it was not uncommon to command these "Mongolian iron horsemen".

I command my own battalion of brave guards, and my loyalty and combat effectiveness are not bad, isn't it fragrant?

So when Lin Dan Batur put forward these face-saving requirements, Feng Quan looked embarrassed on his face, but he sneered in his heart, and quickly agreed.

The final agreement was as follows:

The Chahar tribe, as the descendants of the Golden Family, represented the entire Mongol Empire, and formally signed an alliance with the Ming Empire at the end of the second year of the Apocalypse.

The Ming Dynasty rewarded 5,000 taels of silver every year to fund the needs of the Chahar Department for the winter, and Lin Dan Batur could use the head of the Jurchens to earn additional silver.

In addition, all the Mongol tribes that respected the Chahar tribe as their co-rulers were regarded as allied with the Ming Dynasty and had the obligation to assist Xiong Tingbi and Sun Chengzong in defending and recovering the Liaoshen and Guangning areas.

After repeated negotiations, the last 5,000 taels of silver are scheduled to be distributed on July 10 every year in more than a dozen places such as Tuan Shan and Zheng'an Fort in Quang Ninh.

After signing an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, Lindan Batur also officially responded to Nurhachi's insulting letter last year, saying that the Great Mongol Empire had formed an alliance with the Ming Empire.

He called himself "Baturu Genghis Khan, the lord of the 400,000 Mongols", called Nurhachi "the lord of the 30,000 Jurchens on the waterfront", and warned the Jin soldiers not to invade Liaoshen and Guangning.

Otherwise, 400,000 Mongolian iron horsemen will be sent to break through Jianzhou.
