Chapter 318: Bargging

Altan Khan did not expect Zhang Juzheng to have conditions, he thought that the conditions he proposed were also very simple, under the pressure of 200,000 iron horsemen, the Ming Dynasty would quickly agree to his request, from the historical experience, as long as it was not excessive, they would agree, and now Zhang Juzheng said that he would also put forward his own conditions, but it aroused the curiosity of Alda Khan.

"Great Khan, my emperor said, the first condition is that in the future, the Great Khan must restrain his subordinates, and must not disturb the border at will, if there is another 'commotion' to disturb the border, the emperor will close the Xuanfu Mutual Market, which is still open, until the murderer is punished, you can start again, the group of cavalry that intercepted us yesterday also wants your Great Khan to find out as soon as possible, and give us a 'handover' generation. The second is to ensure the safety of Hannaji, and I think the Great Khan is also a smart man, in order to show your broad 'heart', you will definitely forgive Hannaji's betrayal. Thirdly, we have a few Han Chinese in the Ming Dynasty who have defected to your side, hoping that the Great Khan will 'hand' them over to me. ”

"It's not fair, Lord Qincha, we put forward two conditions, why did you return three conditions." Ayin Baki said for Altan Khan.

"Is this, in fact, we also have two problems, the matter of Hannaji is the family affair of the Great Khan, and it is brought up here by the way, if your Great Khan really punishes his own grandson Hannaji, it is your Great Khan who suffers in face and prestige, and it will have no impact on us at all."

Ayin Baki went to discuss things with Altan Khan and the two of them, and the two of us could not understand it, only the interpreter could know, but he could not interrupt their conversation, and it seemed that if we wanted to know what they were talking about, we would only have to ask the interpreter when we went back.

The two of them discussed for a while, and Ah Yin Baki said: "My Great Khan said that he can't be the master of these things, and he will only know after discussing with a few tribal leaders when he goes back, but who is the Han who defected to our side that Lord Zhang said, and it is difficult for our Great Khan to decide without a list." ”

"Okay, then that's it, I will also write down your Great Khan's request and send it to the emperor for decision, however, if we find that your rangers continue to 'disturb' our soldiers and people in the next few days, we can temporarily stop negotiating, and our army will not 'disturb' you, and your Great Khan should be able to call the shots."

"This is okay, our Great Khan will also inquire about yesterday's incident when we go back, and see if the tribe sent troops without authorization, and our Great Khan said just now, Lord Zhang's wine and food are good, can you bring another table tomorrow when you negotiate." It seems that this Altan Khan is addicted.

In the end, the two sides agreed that they would be here at the same time tomorrow to continue the negotiations, mainly some details, it is estimated that Zhang Juzheng's recital will arrive at the imperial court, and it will be delayed for a few days to come over, Zhang Juzheng will not talk about it now, mainly because he doesn't know who Zhao Quan is just now, and he knows that he is a traitor, but he doesn't know the specifics, and he has to go back and ask Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi. The third article was also added by Zhang Juzheng temporarily, he knew that for the Ming Dynasty, the harm of the 'Meng' ancients was not as great as the harm of the Han 'traitor', and Ah Yin Baji also said that this time the 'Meng' ancient army pressed the territory, and Zhao Quan and a few people were behind the wind and made 'waves', otherwise, the 'Meng' ancients were in such a difficult situation, how could they raise a large army to go south, there must be wars, and small fights are indispensable, but such a big action will not happen.

As soon as we got out of the tent, we saw two horses galloping from the direction of the camp of the 'Mongolian' ancients, and when the two horses came to our side, we saw that the leader was the Han 'traitor' Zhao Quan, and there was a Han man behind him, carrying a food box in his hand.

"Altan Khan, what are you doing here?" Puzzled, Zhang Juzheng asked.

"Lord Qincha, this is the meal that the Great Khan of my family was hungry just now, and sent Zhao Quan back to get the food, the Great Khan is full, and he came back, hum." Ah Yin Baki seems to be extremely dissatisfied with this Zhao Quan.

Zhao Quan saw Altan Khan coming out of our tent with us talking and laughing, his face was green, and he was carrying a food box over there, and he didn't come over until we got on the horse and left, Zhao Quan didn't talk to Altan Khan.

"Great Khan, the dish you want is here, do you want to eat it now."

"Don't eat it, Ben Khan ate it at Qincha's side, I guess you didn't eat either, you can eat it yourself." Altan Khan's voice was full of displeasure, although he did not blame him, but Zhao Quan already felt that Altan Khan was dissatisfied with him.

"Great Khan, this negotiation has not yet begun, and the Ming Qincha is leaving." Zhao Quan didn't know that the conversation had already ended, and he didn't know that he was about to be 'killed' by Zhang Juzheng.

Altan Khan said, "We have already told the Chincha what we wanted, and we will come back tomorrow morning to talk, and you will not come with you tomorrow." ”

"Great Khan, you have to pay more attention, be careful of the Han people's 'treacherous' deceit, if you fall into their trap, you will be in trouble." This is like this traitor, I always think that if I become a slave, I can be the same as the master, but I don't know that the master still treats him as a slave.

"Okay, Zhao Quan, do you think that the Great Khan has no heart, or is not as smart as you Han people, without you we will be deceived by the Han people, which shows that you are smarter than the Great Khan, how can you be so smart that you Han people drove us to 'Meng' Gu." Ah Yin Baki's words, Zhao Quan was speechless, he had good intentions, but he was framed like this, Zhao Quan, who was angry, turned back to his horse, and didn't even say goodbye to Altan Khan, so he galloped towards the camp.

"Great Khan, look at it, so Zhao Quan, it's because you don't need him to negotiate, just this attitude, Great Khan, these Han people are unreliable, we have to guard against him, while asking me to send troops here, on the other hand, I want you to negotiate with the Han people, and on the other hand, I want us to attack Xuanfu, I don't know what he has in mind."

"Ah Yin Baji, don't say it, Zhao Quan will not take refuge in the Ming Dynasty, he turned his back on the Ming Dynasty and came to us, do you think he will turn back, will the emperor of the Ming Dynasty spare him when he goes back? As for Zhao Quan's relationship with the Han people, I believe that he has no collusion. ”

"Great Khan, I'm not worried that Zhao Quan will return to the Ming Dynasty, I also believe that he will not hook up with the Han people, but according to the secret reports of the people below, now Zhao Quan's power is developing rapidly, and they are stationed on the floor, and they have also built a large scale of earthen forts, and now Zhao Quan has a population of 50,000 people, hundreds of miles around, 50,000 horses, 30,000 cattle, 20,000 grains, and the Great Khan, according to reliable sources, Zhao Quan wants to be the king, and he is still wooing me around him. Meng'gu tribe, if he is the king, wouldn't he not take the Great Khan in his eyes, these Han people are very ambitious, and the Great Khan has to guard against it. ”

Ah Yin Baki was right, after Zhao Quan and others gained the trust of Anda, they began to make great achievements in the Fengzhou area, and the land of Bansheng gradually prospered, looking at the increasing population and land, Zhao Quan was not calm and ambitious. These defecting Han leaders often instigated the 'Mongolian' people to enter the country, plundered the young and middle-aged laborers in the mouth, and gave advice for them, provided all kinds of information, made sharp soldiers and strong armor, cloud ladders and other combat weapons, and provided various tactical advice. This time, I also listened to Zhao Quan's suggestion, and Altan Khan raised an army.

Don't you know that Zhao Quan's place of bansheng is not peaceful, and the life of the captive people at the bottom is not very good, so there are also Han people who try to flee back to the mainland and pay a heavy price. And those who have benefited are naturally happy. An Da 'handed over' the Han people to Zhao Quan and several other Han people, and these Han leaders, after gaining benefits, were still only tools of the 'Mongolian' nobles, and their continuous expansion of property power would inevitably lead to conflicts of interest with other 'Mongolian' small tribesmen and nobles. As a result, many 'Mongolian' ancient tribes regard Zhao Quan as a thorn in their side.

Ah Yin Baki's words hit the key point of Altan Khan, he has long heard of Zhao Quan's development in Bansheng, but he has always believed that this Zhao Quan will not do anything sorry for himself, what Ah Yin Baki said today, although it is a bit exaggerated, but it is not chasing the wind, many of them are facts. One of the things that a monarch is most afraid of is that he will be killed by his own people, and Zhao Quan's ambition is indeed very big, which has aroused the vigilance of Altan Khan, and no one wants his subordinates to be too ambitious. Altan Khan was no exception.

"Okay, go back and talk about it, you can go to Xuanfu to see later, if those heads are true, you have to give me a strict investigation, it was done by that tribe, Ben Khan knows about it, he must be severely punished, dare to send troops behind my back, if the big thing of negotiation is ruined, how will we spend this winter."

The two of them rode back to the 'Meng' ancient camp with the 'squire', and Ah Yin Baki went hungry to summon those influential tribal leaders to come over to discuss things, but he didn't call Zhao Quan.

Zhao Quan's camp was in the southwest corner of the entire camp, and because Zhao Quan's men and horses were still mainly Han Chinese, a small battalion was set aside as their separate station.

In the big tent, Zhao Quan angrily scolded the dozen or so leaders below: "These 'Meng' ancient barbarians are not things, they treat my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, Lao Tzu has worked hard for them, and in the end he still wants to kick me away, brothers, how to deal with this matter." ”

There are eight people sitting at the bottom, all of whom are Zhao Quan's right-hand men, and they are also some of the leaders of the White Lotus Sect, Li Zixin and Wang Tingfu. ZHANG Lilin. Guo Heng, Chang Ziqi, Sun Wentai, Zheng Dayuan, Guan Changfu, these are all Han 'traitors' who defected with Zhao Quan.

"Big brother, I don't think this matter is simple, it is said that Zhang Juzheng can speak well, talented, resourceful, if Altan Khan is persuaded by him, our situation will be very bad, now the only way is to prevent them from negotiating, so that we can profit." It was Li Zixin, who was known as Zhiduoxing, who spoke.
