Chapter 712: The Messenger
Meng He is a little gloomy now, "We are sweating a lot and are arrogant. The policy of harmony I proposed was originally to marry our little princess into the Central Plains and be a princess to Jia Ke, but I thought that the Great Khan would not agree, so I thought that if Jia Ke could agree to marry the princess of the Central Plains into the grassland, it would naturally be the best of both worlds, if Jia Ke did not agree, you were making a statement to Jia Ke, saying that our little princess admired Jia Ke's heroes and heroes, and our Great Khan also agreed to let the little princess enter Jia Ke's palace as a concubine. ”
After hearing this, Odengeril was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Meng He, you are the master of your own affairs, and let the Great Khan know in the future, how can I have my life?"
Meng He said to him with a firm look in his eyes: "If the Great Khan asks, you will say that I forced you." ”
"That being said, I still think I should discuss it with the Great Khan first."
"The Great Khan loves Princess Naren Gaova like a pearl in his palm, how can he agree to marry the princess to the Southern Dynasty, we can only cut it first and then play, when the two countries reach an agreement, the Great Khan wants to regret it, and there is no way."
The more Ao Denggeril listened, the more frightened he became, this Meng He was simply crazy, if he really dared to do this, I am afraid that his family would not survive.
Meng He saw that Aodengril shook his head like a rattle, and knew that he didn't have the courage to do this, but it was a taboo for the survival of the entire Tatar people, and if he didn't do this, he was afraid that Jia Ke would not let go of the people on the grassland.
So Meng He fell to his knees on the ground, "Aodengeril, I beg you on behalf of the entire Tatar people, now the situation of our tribe is very bad, I think Jia Ke will go on a northern expedition soon, if Jia Ke is not stopped, my nation may disappear." ”
Aodengeril saw Meng He kneeling on the ground and begging bitterly, thinking about himself, the nation has now begun to decline, but the Central Plains is soaring, and if the confrontation continues, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck.
So he could only help Meng He up, and then said helplessly: "I promise the general, but I will report this matter to the Great Khan before entering the border of the Southern Dynasty, this is the biggest compromise I can make." ”
Meng He was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, and when the time came, the Great Khan just didn't agree, and I am afraid there would be no way to recover Aodengril.
So Meng He excitedly grabbed the other party's hand and shook it three times, "I represent millions of Tatar herdsmen, thank you general." ”
Odengerile didn't say anything, just waved his hand, then turned on his horse and headed south.
After bidding farewell to Meng He, Aodengril stayed overnight. After walking for more than ten days, I came to the outside of Gubeikou.
The guards of Gubeikou did not dare to slack off after seeing a bunch of people coming from the grassland, and immediately waited above the city.
Odengril came to Gubeikou, took the lower side, and arched his hand and said: "Down is a Tatar envoy, on the order of Arslen Khan, who came to the Celestial Empire to present the national letter. ”
When the guard heard this, he didn't know whether to let them in or not. , after all, the two sides have always been hostile, and Arslen Khan once used a trick to break through the Gubei Pass, so this hand will be afraid that this time it will be the other party's tricks.
Seeing that the other party was hesitant, Odengeril knew that it was the strategy of their Great Khan last time that made these people a little bit of a snake.
So Odengeril said: "The general of the city, it is better for you to lay down the bamboo baskets and pull us up to the city, so that there is no need to open the gates." ”
When the commander at the head of the city heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he shouted to the city: "Leave all your weapons outside the city, and you must not bring any of them with you." ”
Ao Denggeril did not hesitate, and immediately threw the matching knife beside him to the ground, and the other entourages saw that Ao Denggeril had already disarmed, and they also took out all the weapons on their bodies one by one.
The hands of the city will see this, and then the people will put down the baskets and hang them up to the city one by one.
The guard went up to the tower, but he did not let down his vigilance, and immediately ordered a large number of people to surround them, and then said to them: "Although you are envoys, I will wait for the Bingming court, and you will first live in the small courtyard under the tower." ”
Naturally, Aodengril is a local custom.
As soon as the garrison had settled the Tatars, he wrote a telegram and sent it to the capital with an expedited dispatch of 800 li.
However, neither of them noticed that not long after Aodengril entered the Gubei Pass, a small group of cavalry appeared on the edge of the sky, and they approached the Gubei Pass quickly two yards apart.
When he arrived near Gubeikou, he found that he had not found Aodengril, so he had no choice but to turn his horse back.
It turned out that this was a ploy to send Meng He to the king's tent, and Arslen Khan was naturally furious when he saw it.
Naren Gaova was Arslen Khan's favorite daughter, and she was not going to marry her far away, but she was thinking of choosing a good son-in-law for him near the busy station, and then spend the rest of her life by Arslen Khan's side.
I didn't expect that this time Meng He and others would dare to make their own claims, which is worth it.
So Arslen Khan immediately sent fast horse cavalry to recall Odengeril, but it turned out to be a step too late.
Besides, Jia Ke is in the capital, cleaning up the mess caused by Wang Yi being wiped out.
This time, because of Jia Ke's purge, the county orders in various places were taken down one hundred and eighty, which shows how powerful this Wang Yi is?
In addition, Jia Kehan searched for nearly 10 million taels of silver from this secret location in Wang Yi's various places, and Jia Ke got this silver, so he naturally didn't think about making it moldy in the warehouse.
The money was used by Jia Ke in the firearms making workshop.
Since Jia Ke got the children's book given by the old lady a few years ago, he has invested millions of taels of silver every year in the past few years to make firearm improvement technology.
This firearm is not as simple as one might think, and although it can be slowly crafted in the hands of skilled craftsmen, such firearms cannot be equipped on a large scale, and their parts cannot be replaced with each other.
Therefore, it is still possible for these weapons to be used for hunting for the nobles, and if they are equipped with the army, it will be a disaster for the logistics of the army.
Therefore, over the years, although the firearms workshop has produced qualified arquebuses and flintlock pistols, Jia Ke has not equipped the troops.
Now with this investment of silver, the next research and development will be even faster, and as long as the original lathe can be made, then the skill of making muskets will be mature, and the processing of parts will be accelerated.
It was then that the time would come to massively equip the troops.
On this day, Jia Ke had just returned from the firearms attack and defense inspection on the outskirts of the city, and had just entered the Qianqing Palace to rest, when Li Gui, who was on duty in the palace, came to report to Jia Ke.
"Master, I just received a report from Gubeikou, saying that the Tatars sent an envoy, and now I am resting in Gubeikou."
Jia Ke was a little surprised after hearing this, the Central Plains and the Tatars have been fighting for so many years, and they have not sent envoys to each other, what happened this time? Could it be that Arslen Khan wanted to surrender?
This is absolutely impossible, with Jia Ke's understanding of Arslen Khan and others, even if he dies, he will not be subservient.
So Jia Ke was not in the mood to rest, and returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall with the eunuch he carried.
As soon as Jia Ke entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, he shouted to the eunuchs inside: "Bring the Gubeikou recital." ”
Li Gui, who had been beside Jax all the time, didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came to the front of the imperial case, turned out the folds of Gubeikou in the pile of twists, and then handed them to Jia Ke with both hands.
Jia Ke took the fold and looked at it carefully. Then put the music together, and walked a few steps back and forth on the main hall of the Heart Cultivation Palace, this time to see or not to see?
Jia Ke is not in the mood to negotiate peace with the Tatars now, and now the production of firearms is advancing by leaps and bounds, as long as the problem of the final production process is solved, it can be mass-produced, and then he will take 100,000 musketeers to the north, and at that time the Tatars are just native chickens and tile dogs.
So Jia Ke summoned all the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department to the Heart Cultivation Hall to discuss how to deal with this matter.
Sun Yan and the others had already gone home from the palace, but suddenly received Jia Ke's order, and they didn't dare to slack off, they each took a sedan chair and hurriedly came to the palace, and under the guidance of the eunuchs, they entered the palace of nourishing the heart.
And Jia Ke was still thinking about this book on the Heart Cultivation Hall at this time. After hearing the ministers coming in, he instructed Li Deshan next to him: "Show your lords and sit down." ”
Li Deshan immediately ordered the little eunuch to carry a few golden chairs and put them on the main hall of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
These five military ministers first confessed to Jia Ke before they dared to sit on the golden chair.
Jia Ke saw them sit down, so he asked, "Have you all seen the recital of Gubeikou?" ”
The five military ministers hurriedly stood up. "Long live Qiyu, we have all seen this letter, and we have reached an agreement to agree that the envoy will enter Beijing. ”
Jia Ke nodded, and then asked, "Do you think this is necessary?" Taking advantage of the accumulation of strength and money and food over the years, he was preparing to move his troops north and completely wipe out the Tatars. Isn't it to make peace with them now to give the Tatars a chance to breathe? ”
After listening to Jia Ke's words, Sun Yan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is to negotiate peace with them temporarily, and it will not prevent Your Majesty from going on a northern expedition in the future, and it can even play a role in paralyzing the other party." ”
Jia Ke nodded after listening, if it was really like what Sun Yan said, it would be a solution.
After listening to Sun Yan's words, Old Meng Ming on the side was a little unhappy.
"Lord Sun's words are wrong, since ancient times, the two countries have put faith and righteousness first, how can there be a reason to go back on their word, and besides, we are the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, if we make this decision, who will dare to believe in our dynasty in the future, how can the subject countries of the Quartet look at our suzerain."
Jia Ke frowned after hearing this, although Lao Meng Ming was a little pedantic, but this was right, he was just a small general soldier before, so he naturally didn't have to worry about these, but now that he is in charge of this old empire, if he loses his reputation, the surrounding subject countries will probably panic.
