Yang Cong's conditions are really too harsh, this guy not only wants war horses, but also wants to die, 50,000 horses in the first year, and then 10,000 horses per year, and it will be a hundred years in a row!

O Nima!

Did you talk to him like this?

Zhao Quanjue said, I'm afraid that this peace talk can't be negotiated, war horses are the lifeblood of the steppe tribe, can Altan Khan agree to compensate so many war horses?

This peace can't be negotiated, and the Great Khan is afraid that he is going crazy, what should I do?

He returned to the Khan's court tremblingly, came to the Khan's tent as if he were going to the execution ground, reported the situation truthfully, and then stood there with his bow, just waiting for the Khan to vent his anger.

Unexpectedly, Altan Khan did not burst into a rage, on the contrary, after he finished telling the situation, Altan Khan did not react at all, and the whole tent fell into silence, not even a sound.

He secretly raised his eyes to see that Altan Khan was actually there frowning and pondering!

Could it be that such a thing as compensating war horses can also be considered?

Altan Khan is indeed considering the issue of compensating for the war horse, he has no choice, if he does not agree with the conditions of others, he will continue to send troops to loot, and when the time comes, he will really respond to the words of others, robbed it, but it is not money, and it is robbed in vain!

Besides, this grassland in the middle of the West is not enough to feed so many war horses, he is still having a headache about this, if all the grass is given to the war horses, the cattle and sheep will have no grass to eat, and when the time comes, the herdsmen of various tribes will starve to death, what is the use of leaving so many war horses?

Perhaps, it is also a good choice to compensate the war horses to the Ming Dynasty, at least, the saved grass can feed more cattle and sheep, so that the herdsmen of various tribes will not starve to death.

Of course, it is impossible for him to compensate Da Ming for all the war horses in his hands, at the very least, he has to leave hope for recovery.

Moreover, even if he compensated most of the war horses, the herdsmen of the various tribes could only barely starve to death, and there was no need to think about what to reproduce, and it would be good if the Tatars could not be trampled under the feet of other tribes.

That's not what he wants, he wants to make a comeback.

How can we keep the hope of a comeback?

He pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "Have you mentioned the matter of Ben Khan's request for the Ming Dynasty to be crowned king, and have you discussed the matter of opening the horse market with others?" ”

This one!

Zhao Quan said with a frightened face: "Great Khan, his subordinates haven't had time to mention this, then Lord Yang talked about compensating the war horse, and the subordinates thought that the compensation for the war horse could not be discussed, and nothing else could be discussed, so the subordinates ran back to ask the Great Khan." ”

You are a useless thing, you haven't mentioned any conditions, just let people put forward conditions, do you call this a peace talk?

When Altan Khan heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, but he still didn't get mad, because there were really few people under his command who could be sent to negotiate with Daming, although this Zhao Quan was useless, but he still knew the importance of it, and it was still okay to send it to be a mouthpiece.

He frowned and pondered for a while, and then said lightly: "You go and tell that Lord Yang, it's not impossible to compensate for war horses, but it's impossible to have 50,000 horses at a time, and he has to leave us a little seed." In addition, Ben Khan asked for the title of king, and the horse market must be opened, these are essential conditions, and you can also talk to others. ”

This!

Now you are cornered by others, okay, you still want to be crowned king, and you still want people to open a horse market?

Zhao Quan didn't forget these conditions, he didn't have the face to mention them to others!

As the defeated side, these conditions are still mentioned, is there a brain disease or what's wrong?

Of course, he didn't dare to say these words in front of Altan Khan, so he could only stubbornly say: "The subordinates understand, these subordinates must have a good talk with Lord Yang." ”

So, he ran to Songshan Fort again and ran to see Yang Cong.

Yang Cong didn't talk to him at all, and went straight to the point: "How about it, what did you Great Khan say, do you agree with the matter of compensating the war horse?" ”

Zhao Quan hesitated for a moment, and then he was embarrassed: "This, our Great Khan said, it is not negotiable to compensate for war horses, but it is a bit too much to compensate for 50,000 horses at a time, we only have more than 50,000 war horses, and this time we will pay all the compensation, and even the breeding is gone, and the next 10,000 horses per year will not be able to be cultivated." What our Great Khan means, the first time to compensate 20,000 horses, the remaining 30,000 horses for breeding, my lord, do you think it's okay? ”

This Altan Khan is really able to bend and stretch, and he can even promise to compensate for war horses, and he is really a hero who can endure humiliation and burden.

But what's the use of being able to endure humiliation?

Altan Khan was afraid that he was wrong, did he think there was still hope for the Tatar Ministry?

Just kidding, in front of muskets and artillery, cavalry is cannon fodder, as long as Daming can always maintain his superiority in thermal weapons, even if he has more cavalry, it is fake.

Yang Cong thought for a while, and then said seriously: "20,000 horses is too little, at least 30,000 horses, isn't it enough to leave 20,000 horses for breeding?" ”

Nima, it doesn't matter if you have 20,000 horses or 30,000 horses, it's none of my business.

Zhao Quan also understood at this time, he was just a microphone, he couldn't do anything, hurry up, just finish what he should say, as for the rest, let others have a headache.

He simply stubbornly said: "This, the grass people will go to tell our Great Khan, our Great Khan also said, he wants to submit to the Ming Dynasty, and ask the Ming Dynasty to follow the convention and give a prince, in addition, our Great Khan also wants to open a horse market with the Ming Dynasty and communicate with each other, I don't know if it is possible?" “

Hehe, there are quite a lot of conditions.

It doesn't matter if the king is crowned or something, anyway, it is not uncommon for the Ming Dynasty to give the leaders of these steppe tribes the title of king, not to mention the grassland overlord like Altan Khan, even if it is a grassland tribe leader with only a few thousand men and horses, as long as he is willing to belong to the Ming Dynasty and be crowned a king or something, it is a trivial matter.

In this case, the prince is not a real prince, and Da Ming is just giving people a false title.

I'm sorry, no.

Power or something, sorry, that's even more not.

When the officials of the Ming Dynasty saw it, they could call the prince enough to save face.

In short, there is no problem with this king, as for the opening of the horse market, Yang Cong himself has no opinion, and he is even a little inclined to open the horse market.

However, he can't influence the thoughts of the court officials, and he doesn't want to influence the thoughts of Zhu Zaikun, the emperor, and he still has to go to Guan to talk about the issue of opening the horse market, and at this time, he can't make a decision.

He thought about it carefully for a while, and then said slowly: "Feng Wang, this is a common practice, this official feels that this problem is not big, but it is a very troublesome thing to open the horse market, you know, you have not done anything good in the past few times to open the horse market, this point, the court officials are quite complaining." Otherwise, you can't make the decision about compensating the horses anyway, and the official who is crowning the king and opening the horse market must also consult the imperial court, so let's talk about it here this time. You go back first, wait for the news of the official, and the official will naturally send someone to inform you after asking the imperial court. ”

What else could Zhao Quan say, he could only bow down and retire and go back to the Khan Court.
