After discussing the general response plan with the generals around him, he quietly summoned two cronies and asked them to take a part of their own actions. A direct army out of the source of the Daling River in the face of the army to garrison, openly said to the Ming army that in order to prevent the Karaqin people from coming to sneak attack again, you can privately exchange food and intelligence with the Karaqin people, so that both sides are not easy to say, and after a long time, both sides will also recognize the value of this army and acquiesce in its existence. Normal grazing will still be allowed.

Su Bu drank wine with the two cronies and swore a poisonous oath, promising each other that no matter what the circumstances are, they will support other people's subordinates in the future, otherwise the land will be destroyed, and if these arrangements are made, I will stay at home with peace of mind and wait for the reward of the Ming Dynasty, if you restrict my freedom, I have to eat and drink, otherwise the rebellion is something that can happen every minute.

When Lin Dan Khan's envoy, that is, his own brother Tubahai, returned to the Han Department, he was accompanied by a returning official of the Ming Dynasty, who was Hong Chengchou who had just arrived at the Military and Political Department. Later, Tianqi felt that this person also had some vision, so he transferred him to the Military Administration Department to study, and was ready to wait for the three armies that appeared in the name of the royal family to form an army, and let Hong Chengchou go to the army as a supervisor, so that he knew that theory alone was not enough, but also needed to learn in practice.

When Tubahai wanted to go back, Sun Chengzong said that Lin Dan Khan was the Great Khan of Mongolia, and since he sent his own brother over to explain the Lianghekou incident, I should send someone to pay a return visit so as not to be rude, and at the same time, through continuous visits, Lin Dan Khan could understand the true intentions of the Ming Dynasty, so that he gradually gave up his unrealistic ideal of restoring the Yuan Dynasty.

Tianqi approved Sun Chengzong's proposal, and thought of Hong Chengchou in terms of specific candidates, and decided to let him go to the Han Department. In the past, one of the people who contacted the Han Department was Wang Huazhen and the other was Hou Sui, Wang Huazhen became the governor and then let him be a messenger, and it was a little inappropriate to let him be a messenger, and Jizhou itself also had many affairs. Hou Sui had just gone to Phi Island to help Mao Wenlong reorganize the army, because in the last Liaodong raid and disturbing the East Jiang Army, he did not obey the order of the Military Affairs Yuan not to attack more than 1,000 enemies, and as a result, he suffered thousands of losses.

Hong Chengchou followed Tubahai after a day's trip to Lin Dan Khan's big tent, in the big tent he saw the cordial attitude of Lin Dan Khan, but also saw not only not friendly but also from time to time to show hostility of the two generals of the Han Division. Hong Chengchou first bowed to Lin Dan Khan, and then told Lin Dan Khan that the Ming army was preparing to build Lianghekou City by itself and send tens of thousands of troops to protect it.

Lin Dan Khan smiled and asked: "The terrain of the two estuaries is treacherous and remote, I am afraid it will not be easy for the Ming army to repair the city there, and it will be the place where I will trade between Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty in the future, it stands to reason that we should also contribute, do the Ming army need my help in repairing the city?" ”

Hong Chengchou smiled and said: "Thank you for the great Khan's kindness, but my Emperor Ming issued a decree to the Ming army to complete the construction of the Lianghekou City alone, one reason is that I am afraid of repeating what happened a while ago, and the second reason is that it is estimated that your ministry itself is inconvenient to disturb." ”

At this time, Taiji of the Naiman Department chuckled and said, "I heard that after the army repairs the city, it will build two side walls to enclose the Duoyan Division, do you want to raise my Mongols as sheep?" ”

Hong Chengchou smiled and said: "There is a saying about this, many of my people in Daming live in a fixed place, they all like the walled living environment and think it is very safe and very satisfied, I think it will not be long before the people of the Duoyan Department will also be very satisfied." ”

At this time, Taiji of the Ao Han Department asked: "Han people are Han people, and Mongolians are Mongolians, do you want to make Mongolians Han Chinese?" Besides, if the Mongols are really encircled by the Han Chinese, they won't be bullied to death by you? ”

Hong Chengchou said: "Before I came to your ministry, I was received by the emperor, and the emperor said that the purpose of repairing the border wall is to let everyone be protected and make everyone feel equal [is it equality?] That is, whether it is a Mongolian or a Han Chinese, no one is noble, and no one can bully others casually, everyone can be protected and respected, this is equality. As for this Taiji saying that the Han people will bully the Mongols to death, this statement is unreasonable, my general Man Gui, the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty Ningyuan, is a Mongolian, and he is now in charge of tens of thousands of horses and horses in charge of the second grade of the official residence to serve the Ming Dynasty, if nothing else, it is not impossible to be crowned a prince and a marquis in the future. ”

Taiji of the Naiman Department said: "At least there are still people who know about the existence of Duoyan, if the people of the Duoyan Department eventually become the people of the Ming Dynasty, who still knows about them?" ”

Hong Chengchou said: "In the Ming Dynasty, everyone can exist in the name of an individual, and in the future, people with a lot of face can also exist freely in their own name and reproduce offspring." But if they want to exist in the form of a state, they can't, don't say that I don't agree with it, I guess you won't agree to it, right? Even if Mongolia wants to establish a state, it is a matter for Lin Dan Khan to consider, and it will not be a matter for the Duoyan Department to consider anyway, I think they themselves understand this truth. Instead of dreaming unrealistic dreams all day long, it is much better to recognize reality and accept it. ”

Lin Danhan listened to Hong Chengchou's words about dreaming, and wondered if he was using Duoyan to satirize himself, so he asked: "Lord Hong, I heard that your emperor is preparing to negotiate with the Jurchens, does it mean that the Jurchens can also build a country and sit on an equal footing with the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Hong Chengchou said: "It is said that the Jurchens are not qualified for this, because the Jurchen leader Nurhachi once accepted the official position of my Ming Dynasty, and his rebellion against the Ming Dynasty is a rebellion, and I will kill the rebels as soon as possible." However, my Emperor Ming admired his talent and martial arts, and specially allowed the Jurchens to build a country and become a brother to my Ming Dynasty, but the premise was that he had to retreat to Mobei with all the Jurchens. Now that Nurhachi is dead, Huang Taiji has succeeded to the throne, and the position of my Emperor Ming has not changed, it depends on what Huang Taiji thinks. However, he had no choice, either to put down his weapon and integrate into the Ming Dynasty or to take up his weapon and retreat to Huawai, there was no third way other than that. ”

Taiji of the Naiman Department asked coldly at this time: "So does it mean that my Great Khan does not have a third choice?" ”

Hong Chengchou thought for a while and said: "I wanted to say no, but my father warned me not to lie since I was a child. ”

Taiji of the Ao Han Department said excitedly when he heard this: "Great Khan, please see, how arrogant this Ming man is, do we still have to accept their insults?" Do we still have to work with them? The Jurchens are also children of the grassland, and I think it is much better to cooperate with the Jurchens than with the Ming. ”

Lin Dan Khan didn't speak, and Tubahai said: "No matter how it is explained, people want to trade with us, but the Jurchens are picking up knives and riding horses step by step, and it is not difficult to know who to cooperate with." Besides, didn't the Jurchens also accept the agreement of the Ming Dynasty? Is my Great Khan not as bold as the Jurchens? ”

Lin Dan Khan nodded and said: "From the words of Emperor Daming, it can be seen that he is a very bright and upright person, not the kind of person who says beautiful words but has a bad stomach, if it is possible, Ben Khan would like to see him." ”

Hong Chengchou said: "The Great Khan's thoughts will be conveyed to the emperor when he goes back next, and if possible, the Great Khan will definitely be able to get his wish." ”

Lin Dan Khan laughed and said: "Okay, if possible, we can meet, since the Tumubao incident, the Mongolian Great Khan and the Ming Emperor have not met, even if they fight to the death for their respective positions in the future, it will be a good story." Lord Hong went back and told the Ming Emperor that the two of us would meet at the mouth of the two rivers after the two estuaries were repaired. ”

After Hong Chengchou returned to Beijing, it was already the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, and Tianqi heard that Lin Dan Khan did not vehemently oppose the matter of repairing the border wall in Duoyan, but wanted to meet him at the mouth of the two rivers, so he readily agreed to let the Ministry of Rites arrange the preparations. Then I came to Kunning Palace to see the inner account room to settle accounts, and when I came to Kunning Palace, I found a familiar back, and took a closer look at it It turned out to be Princess Zhu Huiyan of Ningde, who had been married for a month.
