Chapter 050: Quadripartite Talks (Part II)

If nothing happens, it is not strong, Longwen Gaogong will help you!

Originally, Tumut was good, and Hannaji didn't have any ambition at the beginning - well, he was actually just slow to react, and he didn't find that in addition to the Tumut West Whistle in his hand, he could also obtain more than half of Tumut's strength through his marriage with Zhongjin Hatun, and he didn't expect that after having Gao Pragmatic, a person of right and wrong, Daming would also come over and intervene and help persuade Chataiji, and now the strength in his hands is already two thirds of the world's strength in Tumut...... Oh no, it's seven or eight out of ten.

Now that his ambition has been ignited by success, it will not be easy to make him give up.

Originally, this guy was an impulsive young man, a guy who could vote as Dacheng Taiji in a fit of anger, but he didn't think that there was no way, and he figured out where he could stop?

Therefore, the sweat on the forehead returned to the sweat on the forehead, but in the end he said fiercely: "What about the Tumen? Tumut has been fighting in the east and west for decades, and he has been in the south of the country, how could it be his turn to point fingers? If he dares to come, I will pierce the last layer of face of his Great Khan, beat him to the ground, and see how he will deal with himself in the future! ”

Hey?

His reaction was a little unexpected by Gao Pragmatic, he originally thought that Chataiji, who was the first fierce general in Mongolia, would stand up and say this, but he didn't expect that in the end, Hannaji jumped out and grabbed this line.

However, Gao pragmatic thought about it for a while, and realized again: Yes, although Hannaji has not fought any big battles, but that is mainly because I didn't give him any chance, this guy has been regarded as his lifeblood by his grandmother Yike Hatun since he was a child, where is he willing to let him go out and fight in person?

One gram of Hatun is a strong Hatun that I used to be afraid of, and Tiebei Taiji is her biological son, and Hannaji is also her own grandson.

At that time, after running Hannaji to Daming, Yike Hatun dared to whip my head, and scolded him: "The Ming people want your head, you just give them your head, I just want my grandson!" As a result, I didn't dare to let go of a fart, ran out of the gray, hurriedly gathered people and horses, took 100,000 iron horses, and spread out several roads to threaten Daming.

Some people may not understand why Yikehatun is so awesome, but in fact, it is because Yikehatun was originally the third hatun of Balsborot Jinong, the father of Altan Khan. In the fourteenth year of Zhengde, after the death of Balsborot, according to Mongolian customs, Yikehatun was taken in by Altan Khan.

Of course, if it stops at this, it still doesn't seem to be able to fully explain the strength of Yike Hatun, so it might as well be simpler: if there is no Yike Hatun, it will be ten times more difficult for me to control the East and West Ordos Wanhu, and even in Tumut headquarters, there are many people who are cronies of Yike Hatun.

Why is Hannaji so awesome, able to break through such a catastrophe and make me lose face, and was awarded by I to occupy forty percent of Tumut's strength of the west outpost?

Part of the reason is of course that I replied to his own love for him and his feelings of taking care of Daming, but there is also a fundamental reason that Xishao had gathered many of his cronies and subordinates at that time - that was originally what she planned to leave to her son Tiebei Taiji, but since Tiebei Taiji was dead, of course she had to give Hannaji to his only son.

By the way, when Tiebei Taiji died, one Kehatun wanted to be buried with a hundred boys and a hundred camel cubs, but when forty young children were killed, it caused a strong resistance from the people and some Mongolian nobles, and was forced to stop.

There is nothing to comment on in this matter, it is just a stupid, backward and extremely cruel funeral system, but it can be seen that she attaches great importance to her son, and at the same time, it is not difficult to understand her doting on her grandson Hannaji.

It is not surprising that there is such a powerful grandmother who dotes on him so much, that Hannaji can be strong enough, but it is also not surprising that he has never been able to get the opportunity to fight—how dare I? In case Hannaji dies in battle, I'm afraid I won't even dare to go home, and talk about a fart hegemony.

Hannaji, who grew up in this kind of environment, although no one dares to offend him, but at the same time, he must also want to make some military achievements to prove himself.

In particular, most young people who have never experienced war will subconsciously regard war as relatively simple, and take it for granted that victory can be achieved with their own bravery and wisdom.

Hannaji's current state of mind, that's it.

The highly pragmatic "material people like gods" made a slight mistake just now, but fortunately, this matter is not a big problem, after all, it is a good thing to fight Hannaji in the main battle.

However, there was something wrong with Chataiji's performance, and he seemed to be deep in thought.

Fighting with the sky, the fun is endless; Fighting with the ground, the fun is endless; Fight with people, the fun is endless!

Gao pragmatic almost subconsciously began to ponder Chataiji's mind again.

said that Chataiji was afraid of war, then no one would believe it, so Gao pragmatically estimated that he should be measuring it now. There may be several aspects to what it measures.

The first is whether it is cost-effective to fight this battle. "Cost-effective" may sound a bit cheesy, but any politician will definitely consider this first.

Later, some Western media criticized Putin, saying that he was cold, cunning, and untrustworthy, and so on, and when a foreign reporter asked him what he thought about this, Putin replied: I have not heard of it, but I think that the first thing a national leader needs to have is wisdom.

And considering "whether it is cost-effective" is a basic embodiment of wisdom.

In Chataiji's view, fighting with the Tumen is probably a loss-making business.

If Tumen really chooses to go to war, in the eyes of the Mongols, he must be doing it for the purpose of upholding the legal system established by Dayan Khan and the centuries-old traditions that the Mongols have followed.

This can be regarded as a kind of "great righteousness", so in this regard, the Tumut side is the party that is at fault.

So, what about the benefits? There has to be something good to be measured.

The first advantage is that from now on, Chechen Khan will not have to rely on the breath of the Great Khan, who only has one Chahar department left, and if it is done correctly, Chechen Khan will be able to justifiably govern the Eastern and Western Ordos Departments, so that the Tumut headquarters and Qinghai Tumut will be connected.

In other words, the Great Khan's life's work will be legitimized after the victory in this battle.

The second advantage is that because of the intervention of the Ming Dynasty, as long as Tumut obeys the will of the Ming Dynasty and falls out with Chahar, he will almost certainly be regarded as "his own person" by the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that the current mutual market will definitely be retained, and maybe more mutual market locations will be allowed, and it is even possible to further relax some restrictions in the mutual market - such as iron products.

The problem of iron products has actually become a big problem in recent years, mainly because the degree of agriculture in Tumut is getting higher and higher, and the lack of iron tools is becoming more and more serious. Therefore, iron ploughs, hoes, etc., belong to hard needs.

However, Tumut can't do this by himself, so he can only rely on Daming, but Daming restricts iron weapons from going out of the customs, isn't this a hurry? Obviously, Jinghua's iron farm tools are of good quality and cheap, but Tumut can only stare at it and can't buy it, so you can imagine how many Tumut people are so anxious that their eyes are red, and it can be said that the more agricultural tribes are, the more anxious they are in this matter.

Hannaji must be the most urgent, followed by Zhongjin Hatun, because Dabansheng City has the most Han people, and the naturalized royal court is second, and their demand for iron farming tools is the largest and most urgent.

Therefore, why are the two of them more pro-Ming, the more inseparable they are from Daming, and they are even more inclined after seeing Gao Pragmatic? Because Gao Pragmatic obviously has a huge influence on the policy direction of Daming, and he is also the owner of Jinghua and the absolute overlord of Daming Metallurgical Iron Industry.

Not to mention the government-run iron smelting industry in the Ming Dynasty, their costs have always been high, I heard that the government-run iron smelting factories in the north have found a new way to make money in the past few days: take the funds from the imperial court to Kaiping to find Jinghua to buy iron, and after buying it, it will be directly handed over to the imperial court.

As for whether the court is at a loss...... Whatever, there are a few deals in the imperial court that it can not lose, just me?

And Jinghua's attitude is also very simple: I am a businessman, you are a court agency, and you are reasonable and legal to buy iron from me, and this does not violate the law of the Ming Dynasty, why don't I sell it?

Therefore, if after this battle, the Ming Dynasty can be prompted to let go of the export of iron tools, at least the export of iron farm tools, then it must be a good deal for Tumut!

Well, fame is more important than profit, and if this matter is cost-effective, it is more cost-effective to follow Daming.

The rest is a question of fighting, or rather, how to win the war, and to what extent.

In Chataiji's view, this is just a simple military issue, and the military issue is relatively easy to handle, so we can let it go and talk about it for a while, and we must first figure out to what extent it is more cost-effective to win.

Directly blow up Chahar? Let's not talk about whether it can be done or not, at least Chataiji thinks it's not good.

Relying on the increasing number of Han subjects, not to mention the Haming faction such as Hannaji and Zhongjin Hatun, even Chataiji has heard a lot of Han knowledge, such as "the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks".

Keeping Chahar, the Northern Yuan court, on the side of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would feel that Tumut was really loyal and extremely useful, so that Tumut could obtain privileges and benefits. And if it is the other way around, Chahar is defeated in the First World War, whether or not the Ming are interested in capturing Chahar - which is very unlikely - is not a good thing for Tumut.

Even if the Ming Dynasty gave all the territory of the Chahar Department to Tumut, it would be useless, because in that case, there would only be one Tumut left in the north of the Ming Dynasty, in case the emperor was instigated by traitors, would the relationship between Daming and Tumut change, then no one could pack a ticket.

As for whether Tumut will be able to suppress Da Ming in turn after he has more Chahar, Chataiji will not be so naïve now.

Gao Pragmatism has made him understand that it is useless for the Mongols to just fight, as long as the Ming Dynasty says "strike the city", Tumut will be in big trouble, and as long as Tumut does not have the ability to occupy the Han land for a long time, even if he occasionally kills into the pass to grab a handful, it is meaningless, otherwise the Great Khan has been tirelessly begging for tribute for forty years, is it crazy?

What's more, now the Ming border army is obviously changing its outfit, and the rotten firearms that no one refused to use in the past have gradually been replaced by the Longqing II musket made in Jinghua, and the same is true for artillery, the old guns that are not good to use in the past have begun to be slowly replaced, or transferred to the less dangerous second-line defense line to "exert residual heat".

First-line important places such as Hukou, Desheng Fort, Xuanfu and Datong are now mostly Jinghua's No. 2 and No. 3 guns in service, and even Xuan, Da and some No. 1 guns that seem to be powerful.

So, it's not even easy to rob, how to counter Daming?

Therefore, it doesn't matter if you fight with Tumen, but don't talk about killing him, at most let him "suffer a little minor injury", and it's best not to be seriously injured.

Then now there is only one question left, Chataiji finally spoke slowly and asked: "Dacheng Taiji, if the Tumen really send troops to intervene, how do you think this battle should be fought?" ”

As soon as Hannaji heard that Chataiji also supported the fight, he was immediately arrogant and said loudly: "If the Tumen only bring the Chahar tribe to come, we Tumut will use the strength of our headquarters to defeat him, and if he calls on the inner and outer Khalkha and even Duoyan, Uliangha and other troops to attack together, I will pass down the order, let the East and West Ordos and Qinghai Tumut come to support together, and then defeat the Tumen in one fell swoop, so that all the Mongols know that the Tumen are not capable of leading them forward!" ”

What a spirit, Dacheng Taiji! It's a pity that you're so brainless.

Chataiji sighed softly and said: "Dacheng Taiji, you are much stronger in Sinology than me, you should know that there is a saying called 'the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength', why did he bring the Chahar Department here, and we should only use the headquarters like him?" And why, when we have decided to go to war, do we have to wait for him to come? Also, what about Xin Ai, doesn't it matter? ”

"This ......" said that Hannaji had also studied some sinology in the end, and he couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, and his idea of "headquarters to headquarters" just now was actually mainly from the perspective of reputation, hoping to make Tumert's prestige.

However, Chataiji's question also made sense, and he couldn't help but think about it.

"So, Uncle Tokhta, do you mean?" Hannaji asked.

Chataiji said: "Since the Kulitai Conference is going to be held, it is better to let the East and West Ordos and Qinghai bring troops at the same time, and it depends on how many troops can be transferred, so we can give more time." ”

"Giving you more time? Why? Are you afraid that they will not listen to my orders in the same way that the Inner and Outer Khalkhas do to the Tumen? ”

Chataiji said calmly: "That's not true, it's just that during this time, we still have a very important thing to do, and this matter can only be done by ourselves, not by others." ”

Hannaji's eyes widened: "What's the matter?" ”

"Defeat Xin Ai."
