603 I really don't care! (2/2 for the hall master Han Miao)

When they arrived at the gate of the Mandarin Palace, they led their attendants in to make a prayer, while they waited outside for the time being.

Inside and outside the palace gate, there are Han generals standing guard. Babu and the others did not care about the movement, and waited in an orderly manner, while at the same time thinking twice in their hearts about the words they had thought of before.

After thinking about it, I found that I hadn't been summoned in yet, so I thought about it again.

As a result, after thinking about it, I still didn't see the summons. The chamberlain who led them, after entering the main hall, was like mud into the sea.

At this moment, Babu and the others were a little impatient. Turning their heads to look at each other, they were all a little suspicious. They were all summoned to the door, and then they were hung here? Won't it ...... Do you want to get caught again?

Although they thought of this possibility, they didn't dare to be really impatient, so they could only wait honestly.

Babu and the others, as if they had become fake Han generals, stood guard at the door. bored, he stared at the Ming officials who hurried out of the hall.

I don't know how long later, another official in a big red robe came out of the temple gate, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly saw Babu and the others, so he stopped, turned to look at them, and asked, "Who are you waiting for?" ”

Babu was bored, and when he saw that some high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty were ignoring them, he hurriedly replied in unison, saying that it was the envoy of the three tribes of Mobei who had come to meet the Ming Emperor.

When the official heard this, his face showed a hint of surprise and said, "Oh, I remember, it turned out to be you." The emperor is so busy that he probably forgot about you. Wait! ”

After saying that, he turned around and re-entered the Wenhua Palace.

Babu and the others bowed down and thanked him, looking at the back of the official, they looked at each other again, with a different meaning in their eyes, among which Babu whispered affirmatively: "Our three tribes in Mobei are also big tribes with tens of thousands of cavalry troops, how could the Ming Emperor forget us, it must be the intention of wanting to capture and indulge, and if you turn back and ask us too much, we must keep the bottom line." If it weren't for us, we wouldn't have been so troublesome! ”

The others nodded their heads and echoed what Ba'b meant. Counting the three tribes in Mobei, there is no problem with gathering 50,000 cavalry, who dares to underestimate such a huge combat power? Even the Qing Kingdom, which was once strong to the peak, only proposed to pay tribute to Jiubai at the beginning, just to save face, and did not dare to really persecute the three tribes of Mobei!

While they were thinking, the official came out again just now and said to them, "The emperor has really forgotten, so go in!" ”

After saying that, he went straight away.

It's weird to forget! Babu thought to himself, gathered his thoughts, put his appearance in order, and looked at each other to make sure that the apparent respect was in place before stepping inside.

The chamberlain, who was standing by the door, took a roll call at the same time and spread it to the temple.

Babu and the others did not dare to look directly at the emperor, and when they took a few steps forward, they bowed from afar, knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly: "The three tribes of Mobei, the prince of Chechen Khan, Babu, meet the Ming Emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Five bodies to the ground, three kneels and nine kowtows, is the highest etiquette.

Emperor Chongzhen raised his head, looked at the three Mongolians in front of him, and said lightly: "Calm down!" ”

After Babu and the others heard this, they stood up according to the words, and their attitude was still very respectful.

Babu is the head of the three envoys, so he opened his mouth and said: "When the three tribes of Mobei heard the prestige of the Ming Emperor, they specially presented twenty-seven white, which is to congratulate the Heavenly Khan!" ”

If the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty is powerful, the tribes on the grassland will give the name of "Heavenly Khan", to a certain extent, it is to recognize that the emperor of the Central Plains is powerful and express submission.

Therefore, as long as he is the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty, no one will dislike the title of "Heavenly Khan". It can be said that this title of "Heavenly Khan" is the most popular sycophant given by the Mongolian tribe to the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty.

However, what they didn't expect was that Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly, and then asked a little unhappily: "The people I sent didn't make it clear to you, what I want is for the three clans of Mobei to surrender, and the patriarchs of the three tribes can get the title and enjoy glory and wealth when they go to Beijing!" What twenty-seven white, is this what I want? ”

When Babu and the others heard this, they were all stunned: Why didn't this Ming Emperor play cards according to the routine? It's completely different from what I thought!

However, Babu quickly came back to his senses, it seems that this Ming Emperor has great ambitions, that is, he wants to annex the three tribes of Mobei, and it is estimated that this is also the reason why he will engage in some kind of strategy to capture and indulge.

However, before coming, Shuo Lei had explained the bottom line to his son. Therefore, Babu had no choice but to reply: "Your Majesty, the power of the Ming Dynasty is indeed seen by the foreign ministers. But my three tribes in Mobei also have hundreds of thousands of armor, and they are dominant in Mobei. If His Majesty wants to annex the three tribes of Mobei with just one sentence, this ......"

What he meant was to exaggerate the description and remind the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom that the three clans of Mobei were powerful, and then bargain, and it must not be what the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom said.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was impatiently interrupted by Emperor Chongzhen: "It seems that you know what I mean, but you don't want to do what I want?" ”

Facing the aggressive Ming Emperor, Babu remembered his father Khan's confession that he could not be blindly soft, but must be both soft and hard, so that it is possible to continue talking. Therefore, as soon as his face straightened, he was ready to speak in righteous words.

But before he could say anything, he heard Emperor Chongzhen speak again: "I can clearly tell a few of you, if you surrender to the Ming Dynasty, then you are all my people, and there is no difference between them and the people in Guannei." But if you refuse to submit, then you won't be treated so well in the future. ”

Speaking of this, he sneered again and said: "The three clans of Mobei are powerful, but they are stronger than Liaodong Jianyu? What the end, I guess you can't decide. I don't have that much time to talk to you. Liaodong Jianyu, Ao Han tribe and Karaqin tribe, you can choose for yourself, which one do you want to be the same. Give you a year, if you don't surrender voluntarily, or if you don't reply, I'll decide for you which tribe is as good as you. ”

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen conveniently rewarded each of the three Babu with a Grade A eavesdropping seed. If the three tribes of Mobei really refused to surrender, then he wouldn't mind leading his troops to exterminate them. There are these three "internal responses", and I am not afraid that I will not find these Mongols.

Of course, it is best for them to surrender on their own initiative, so as to avoid a war, select the elite from the three tribes and other tribes in Mobei, and then form the Northern Army with the border army of the nine sides, which can be used to conquer Western Mongolia, deal with the eastward invasion of Tsarist Russia, and compete for the Caucasus oil fields.

After Emperor Chongzhen made a decision, an attendant stepped forward and led the three envoys of Mobei Mongolia away.

At this moment, Babu and the others were suddenly dumbfounded. They never expected that the Ming Emperor would be so strong, could he really not care about the hundreds of thousands of people of the Mobei Three Clans? Is he arrogant or does he really have the ability to do it?

For a moment, he couldn't tell the difference. But if you really want to say that the three clans of Mobei are stronger than the previous Liaodong Jianyu, then he can't say it. So even Liaodong Jianyu can be exterminated by the Ming Emperor, and the three tribes of Mobei can withstand the wrath of the Ming Emperor?

Seeing that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom was holding the imperial pen and writing something there, it seemed that he had left what he had just done behind at once. Babu couldn't help but think again, could it be that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom was really very busy, and judging from his tone just now, he actually didn't pay so much attention to the three tribes of Mobei, so he really forgot about it before?

Thinking of this result, Babu couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart: Could it be that the strength of the three tribes of Mobei is really so unbearable in the eyes of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom?

With a lot of doubts, Babu and the other three had to leave the palace, go back to the post house to pack their luggage, and prepare to go back to Mobei to tell the Ming Emperor.

This is about to leave the Ming Kingdom Jingshi, and Babu and the others are suddenly a little reluctant. How prosperous it is here, the kind of poor place in Mobei is really not for people in comparison!

So, the three of them discussed it, and it was rare to come to the Ming Kingdom Jingshi, so they sold all the things they brought and exchanged them for some good things to go back.

In this way, these Mobei Mongols stayed for a few more days, seizing the time to enjoy the prosperity of this Beijing division, even to the point that they refused to return to the post house until the curfew time.

For these people, Emperor Chongzhen really didn't care, and he had long forgotten about them. After these days of intense discussions, the function of the silver ticket as a currency, which had been under consideration before, was officially decreed and the newspaper was issued to the world.

The general meaning of this will is to show that the Ming Dynasty is now a country and a country with more and more abundant materials, but the silver (silver tickets) circulating in the market is far from reaching the rate of material growth. Therefore, silver (silver tickets) in many places are becoming more and more expensive, and it has reached the point of affecting people's livelihood.

In order to solve this problem, Emperor Chongzhen decided to use one-tenth of next year's treasury revenue as collateral to print an additional 1 million taels of silver bills and distribute them to banks in 13 provinces in Beijing, so as to circulate in the market by way of loans to stabilize the value of silver (silver bills).

Silver tickets are still the same as before, and you can go to the bank to exchange them for physical silver. But in an extreme case, there will be a million taels of silver tickets that cannot be cashed on the spot. However, since it is collateralized by the treasury income of the previous year, there is no problem if the million taels are really exchanged for physical silver, and they will definitely be convertible in the next year.

The reason why he wanted to explain this in the holy decree, instead of printing more silver tickets silently, was that Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to deceive his people, and this kind of thing, there is no impermeable wall, and if it really spreads out, it will be a big blow to his credibility. Therefore, explain in advance, whether you believe what Emperor Chongzhen said, or worry that it will make the silver ticket worthless, and the same as the Ming treasure banknote, it depends on the people's choice.

In fact, this change is not an instant to the era of credit money, but a transition in the middle. The era of complete credit money is not realistic at the moment.

As soon as this will came out, the world suddenly shook.
