Chapter 262: The Jade Seal

"Stop!"

Sirhunak Dulen shouted in horror.

Yang Xin let go of his hand with a smile, and Lin Danhan greedily took a deep breath of long-lost air.

"We can let you into the city, but it's up to the Great Khan to decide whether or not to be a vassal."

Sirhunak said.

Yang Xin nodded with satisfaction.

"Second, release the soldiers and civilians you have captured, return the looted property, and pay a tribute of 5,000 horses and 5,000 cattle to the Ming Emperor to apologize, at least half bull and half cow."

Yang Xin said.

Of course, this is mainly for himself.

He had little interest in horses, but cattle were what he needed most.

After all, he still has to give Fengyang's subordinates ploughing cattle, it is enough to have such five thousand cattle, in fact, his favorite in the past two years of trade is also cattle, the reason why the Dangkou army on the Tianjin side quickly turned into normal production and life and even completed the reduction of the river is largely with the help of a steady stream of Mongolian cattle, although this kind of cattle is not suitable for paddy fields, but it is very useful to use in dry fields.

In fact, paddy fields can be cultivated.

That's not the buffalo's patent.

It's just that the hooves of cattle are relatively small, and they are not as convenient as buffaloes with wide hooves in the mud, and they are not as waterproof as the latter, so they are not suitable for soaking in water for a long time, and they are easy to rot their hooves.

But it can be used.

The efficiency is poor, and the loss is relatively large.

"Yes!"

Sir Hu Nak Du Ling said without hesitation.

This is the ransom, and according to the rules it is essential.

Five thousand horses, five thousand cattle, this number is not too much, compared to Lin Dan Khan's status as a great khan, this number is even a little cheap.

"Third, offer the jade seal in your hands."

Yang Xin said.

Lin Dan Khan did have a jade seal in his hand.

And it is also collected as the root of life, originally in history, after he died of illness, this jade seal was dedicated to Huang Taiji by his wife, who was pleasantly surprised to boast of the jade seal of the country, and held a grand ceremony to greet it, and then proudly officially changed the name of the country to change the yuan, so that this thing is just like the real thing.

But......

This is actually a jade seal of the Ming Dynasty.

And it's also a treasure that is only used for one to five grades.

There is more than one jade seal in the Ming Dynasty, as for the so-called jade seal of the country, it has long been gone, the Song Dynasty did not, Hu Yuan was also carved by himself, and was packaged by Li Wenzhong, Zhu Yuanzhang made ten of his own go, the treasure of the Ming Dynasty, the seal of Fengtianzhi, Guangyun, two treasures of the thick load, six treasures of the Son of Heaven, four more in Yongle, the treasure of the emperor's relatives, the treasure of Fengtian and the two treasures of the edict.

But after the change of the civil fort, several fires in the palace, these jade seals have been lost many times, and those that are lost must be replaced, but these are all affairs in the palace, there is no historical record outside, and Jiajing has also made a lot of new ones, including his one for cultivation.

In the end, there are twenty-four imperial treasures in the Ming Palace.

Twenty-four jade seals.

Each one is used differently.

As for the treasure in the hands of Lin Dan Khan, no one knows where he came from, it may be that he was buried during the change of the civil fort, but it was later discovered by a sheep herder, and it is also possible that several fires in the palace were stolen by the eunuchs and sold for money. In short, he got a treasure that the Ming Emperor used to make an edict, and it was a new discarded jade seal that had been made because of the loss, and the palace now has the same one, and then he kept it as a treasure, and even whether his ambition was related to this thing is difficult to say.

Then he died, and the thing was taken away by Huang Taiji.

This is the so-called heirloom jade seal, to put it bluntly, it is a waste seal lost by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

But this one still has to be returned.

Because Lin Dan Khan used this to pretend to force the Mongolian tribes.

Get this jade seal back, the aura on his body immediately weakened, and the leaders of the various tribes who didn't bird him much in the first place didn't bird him, not to mention that he still handed over this jade seal as a prisoner and gave the Ming Emperor the freedom to pay tribute to the Ming Emperor, then he became a laughing stock, and the various departments that were already dissatisfied with him because of faith issues took him as a joke.

And his ambition will not disappear because of this, he still wants to dominate the ministries.

But then the ministries will not be willing to accept his rule.

In the end, it will definitely be resisted.

Historically, they have resisted, and this will be more resolute.

However, it must be explained that Lin Dan Khan's strength is actually not weak, and the Chahar Department is also the strongest among the ministries, mainly because the Chahar Ministry is still a little cohesive as a direct subordinate to the Great Khan, but the other ministries are even more chaotic, and the five ministries of Inner Khalkha are because of the fried flowers, which can be called the ancestor level, so they can barely become an alliance, but the other ministries can hardly even be called an alliance.

Especially the Twelve Tumuts, the most important thing in these years is the melee of various departments.

The current boss is Bu Shitu, who accepted the canonization of the Shunyi King of the Ming Dynasty, but continued to fight with Su Nang and several other Taiji, and the twelve Tumut couldn't get along at all.

The strength of the other Korqin, Dulbert and other departments is much weaker than that of Chahar.

Therefore, Lin Dan Khan, who was originally strong in history and held righteousness, quickly defeated the ministries at least superficially surrendered, but when Jiannu expanded westward, most of the various ministries who were bullied by him and held grudges quickly defected, and the Horqin Department took the initiative to run to Jiannu to say that he was invaded by him. Now that Jiannu has been beaten back, in the face of Lin Dan Khan's conquest, these unwilling ministries have to find new foreign aid to take refuge.

The Ming Emperor would have been able to accept them mercifully.

Give them protection, divide pastoral areas for them, build temples for them, in short, you can apply the same set of methods as our Daqing Dynasty.

It doesn't matter if you spend a little money.

After all, a place like the grassland is really not good, and if you want to really control it, you must resettle and reclaim it, but if you have the ability, why should you reclaim this area? How much fertile land do you want in Southeast Asia? Even if the development of Taiwan is carried out, it is more cost-effective than immigrating to this side to reclaim land, and the land here will also leave a disaster for future generations, after all, the result of the land reclamation is desertification, and then sandstorms sweep through the north from time to time. But if you don't settle for reclamation, win the war, plough the court, or even learn from Lan Yu, it's useless, because you can't be stationed at all, and you can die of exhaustion just by transporting supplies, unless you build a railway, but that's very far away.

In the end, after the fight was completed, the people were evacuated, and then the wildfire could not be burned, and the spring breeze blew and reborn.

That's how it was in the northern steppes.

Two thousand years have not changed that.

On the contrary, our Daqing method is the smartest.

In that case, why not follow suit? Even if there is a cost, the cost is not worth mentioning compared to military means, not to mention that it can pay for itself if you play well.

But......

Lin Danhan in Yang Xin's hand struggled angrily.

Sir Hunak Du looked at the Great Khan in embarrassment, and it was clear that the Great Khan did not accept this article.

"I'll give you fifteen days to think about it, fifteen days is enough for you to go to Chahanhot to gather horses and cattle, and come back with the jade seal, and if you can't get it in fifteen days, I'll take him to the capital to sacrifice prisoners."

Yang Xin said.

Chahanhot in modern Aru Korqin.

Fifteen days is enough time to make a round trip.

At this time, Cao Wenyao arrived with the cavalry, Yang Xin held Lin Dan Khan, smiled and looked at Sir Hu Nak Du Ling and the thousands of troops and horses on the opposite side, behind him the cavalry surging into Guangning, and at this time the other side of the Mongolian cavalry was in chaos, and the dust of the cavalry running wildly appeared in the sky in the distance, and soon a Mongolian cavalry ran to Sir Hu Nak Du Ling in panic.

The Yeh cavalry of Delgrad arrived.

He is also the father-in-law of Lin Dan Khan, whose third wife Su Tai is his daughter.

Of course, at this time, everyone knew that he was not here to help his son-in-law, in fact, he came with the Ming army, plus the Mongolian cavalry of the Zaisai Department, and the latter did not come to help the Great Khan either.

This coalition army, which had just defeated Daishan in a joint operation in Kaiyuan, entered the border wall directly from Zhenyuan Pass and threatened the back of the Chahar cavalry from the north of Quang Ninh. In fact, the Mingmeng Yehe alliance was forming a siege of the Chahar department, and Sirjunak, who understood the situation in front of him, did not dare to act rashly, so he saw Yang Xin standing there with the Great Khan.

The Ming army in the back continued to enter Quang Ninh.

Just as the last Ming soldier stepped across the moat, Yang Xin, who was holding Lin Dan Khan, retreated into the city with a smile.

"Invite this Great Khan to a place that matches his identity."

Yang Xin, who entered the city, handed over Lin Dan Khan to Cao Wenyao.

Lin Dan Khan glanced at him with hatred, but at this time, the Great Khan was exhausted from struggle, and he was not interested in showing bravery, and then he was handcuffed by the Ming army and went to Ding Wensheng's house.

"Senator Wang also goes where he should go!"

Yang Xin looked at Wang Huazhen and said.

The latter was also handcuffed by the Ming army and then escorted to Ding Wensheng's house.

Yang Yanshi is not going to change places, anyway, Ding Wensheng's family is going to raid his house, which happens to be his station in Guangning.

As for Ding Wensheng and others......

"Let's all go where they need to go, Shi Tingzhu is locked up alone!"

Yang Xin waved his hand and said.

Shi Tingzhu is not from Guangning, he is from a family in Liaoyang.

It is said that he was a slave, Su finished the Guerjia clan, and later moved to Liaoyang, so how to bite a few unpleasant families in Liaoyang, this important task will be handed over to him, not to mention others, Zhu Shichang must not let go, and there are those left in the Tong family. In short, this time we have to clean it up, Zhu Shichang also ran very fast on the battlefield before, so whether they participated in the plan or not, this is still hard to say, even if they did not participate in this plan, the last time Yang Xin went to Kaiyuan, the Jiannu who suddenly ran to attack must have been Zhu Shichang's ghost.

It's time to settle this old account.

However, at this time, Yang Xin is not interested in dealing with these for the time being, and the most important thing now is ......

"Raid the house, copy all these families, and open their warehouse, the city is calculated according to the household, each household will be given one stone of rice first, and as for the soldiers who participate in the defense of the city, one person will be given five taels of silver, and the young and strong will be given two taels."

Yang Yishi shouted.

Then there was jubilation.
