"Lord Chincha. My grandfather was a greedy man. There is only interest and no family affection. I don't have any feelings for him. I was raised by my 'milk' and 'milk'. We 'Mongolian' ancients don't talk about human ethics like you Han people. My grandfather didn't have any morals to speak of. He raised an army and chased me to Xuanfu. It's also a head. Several years of drought on the grasslands. Livestock losses are significant. It is estimated that this winter will not be good. So they marched south. By the way, grab something and go back to spend the winter."

"Put Hannaji. You said that your grandfather brought this army of 200,000. How much moisture there is. Isn't there 200,000. And how about their combat effectiveness . Tell me about the logistics."

"Lord Chincha. Our 'Mongolian' ancients had a different military system than yours. Say it's 200,000. It's a general number. We are all called up on an ad hoc basis. It doesn't matter how many people there are in a tribe. Less to a thousand-person team of official weaving. It doesn't matter how many soldiers are in it. More to give an official position to a team of 10,000 people. So this 200,000 is according to this official position. How many of them are in it that they don't even know. Their real strength. I estimate it to be around 150,000."

Zhang Juzheng poured a bowl of tea and handed it to Hannaji. Said: "And saliva you continue. It's better to be detailed."

"As for combat effectiveness. We didn't have any orthodox military training. It is usually in the process of grazing. Trained on your own. Only 30,000 men were there to defend the royal court. These people are the strongest in combat. The equipment is also the best. But. If it's really fighting. These forces are also rarely used. They will only be sent up at a critical moment. Leading the way are the tribes who are not pleasing to the eye of the Antar Khan. They are cannon fodder. The combat effectiveness is also the weakest. Their equipment is also five 'flowers' and eight 'gates', and some of them don't even have weapons. It's okay to go it alone. If you really come to attack the city. They only have to die. I defected to the Ming Dynasty. It's not just because my grandfather robbed my daughter-in-law. Since I was a child, I have envied the prosperity and strength of the Ming Dynasty. Dissatisfied with our grandfather's reckless warfare. For this return to the south. I prepared for three years. This time, it was not easy to use the excuse that the daughter-in-law was robbed. Ran out."

"Antar Khan, but your own grandfather will still guard against you. It's impersonal." Zhang Juzheng 'interjected' and said.

"Master Zhang. with us. There's no human favor to speak of. It's all for the sake of profit. If I threaten my grandfather. He won't hesitate to kill me. Luckily, I had my 'milk' or my 'milk', or I would have been killed by my grandfather, who didn't have sex. He's got quite a few people in my tribe to spy on me. This time I wanted to take all the people of the tribe back south. It's a pity they watched too closely. I had to escape with a dozen of my cronies."

"Alas. This Altan Khan too. The same is true for your own people. How do you look like a grandfather?"

"Master Zhang. It's quite normal with us. I have always admired the humanistic culture of the Ming Dynasty. There is a strong affection between the family and the family. My teacher is Han Chinese. Teach me all the time. I read a lot of books from the Central Plains. This is also one of the reasons why my grandpa has always disliked me. Lord Zhang asked just now. How do we supply logistics. We, the 'Mongolian' ancients, sent troops. There is generally no logistics. It's to bring a dozen days of dry food. Then there are the live cattle and sheep levied by the various tribes. The army got there. It is to maintain the logistics of the army by fighting grass valleys. So now they've come. Seven days. It is estimated that after 10 days, many tribes will run out of food. So as soon as I got here, I reminded Lord Wang and Lord Fang to clear the field first. Even if they want to fight. I can't get in. Also, I had to strictly prevent my grandfather from sending people to attack somewhere else. If only there was logistics. He can continue to use his troops."

"It's important to put Hannaji on what you're saying. I'm going to negotiate with your grandfather tomorrow. It's not too early for now. Go and rest. I also have to discuss the negotiation with Lord Wang and Lord Fang."

After Wang Chonggu sent Hannaji away. Zhang Juzheng spoke first: "Lord Wang. Master Fang. Do you think you believe what you just said about Hannaji?"

"Master Zhang. We've all sent scouts to investigate. This matter is credible. Even the contradictions between him and Altan Khan are clear to us. So Master Fang and I think it's better to negotiate with the 'Meng' ancients. You can't give Hannaji to Altan Khan like this. If you send it back like this. Then the prestige and majesty of our Celestial Empire will be gone."

"Lord Wang is right. This put Hannaji. I don't think it's bad. How do you arrange tomorrow's negotiations? And then there are those that Hannaji said. Fortified Kiyono. Prevent the 'Mongolian' ancients from sneaking up on other places. You didn't do a defense. You can't give the 'Meng' ancients a chance. Nor can they be allowed to grab a little food and supplies. Neither will our people be arrested."

"Master Zhang. This one brought Hannaji to Xuanfu. Master Fang and I made arrangements. The various passes and forts were fortified. And all the people from the outside withdrew into the city. There is also a notice that is far too late. May suffer point losses. But it was impossible for the 'Mongol' ancients to get a lot of supplies. The grain of our Xuanfu can last for a month and a half. In order not to let the 'Mongolian' ancients rob our grain transport team. I have ordered a moratorium on the delivery of military rations to Xuanfu."

"Not bad. You and Lord Fang's handling is very good. His Majesty is also very satisfied. What is the situation of our garrison in Xuanfu now. Can you introduce the old man?"

"There are 120,000 officers and soldiers in the whole town of Xuanfu. Usually scattered in various forts and passes. Now Xuanfu has about 50,000 defense troops. It is more than enough to defend the army of the 'Mongolian' ancients. The walls of Xuanfu are the nightmare of the 'Meng' ancients. If they don't come to fight, they're done. If you come to attack. We've been preparing for a long time. Make sure they have no return. It's just that. Our troops outside are defending against the 'Mongolian' ancients from other directions. I have ordered them not to move lightly. In this way. We don't have any foreign aid. Please also ask Lord Zhang to write to His Majesty. Send a force to contain the 'Meng' ancients outside."

Zhang Juzheng took a sip of tea. Said: "Lord Wang. Master Fang. Your Majesty has already thought of this. After Cheng'an, he had already led 100,000 Beijing troops to march to this side. Just to ensure the safety of the capital. The Beijing army can't all come over. If all 300,000 Beijing troops come. I don't have to think about going back to these 'Mongolian' ancients."

"Master Zhang. How will tomorrow's negotiations be arranged. Please also advise. I'll send messengers to inform Altan Khan."

"So be it. There's no way we're going to them. I don't think it would be possible for Altan Khan to come to us. It's between their barracks and our city. Ten people on each side. More than the number of people. We'll stop talking."

"That's good. Tomorrow I will send to inform Naaltan Khan. I've also arranged for Master Zhang's entourage here. And that Altan Khan doesn't understand our Chinese. I'm going to have to give Mr. Zhang a translator."

"Good. There's King Lao. This retinue. No need to come out of your side. The 'squires' we brought with us are perfectly fine. You just need to send a translator. As outside. You also need to prepare a light cavalry guard. Prevent the ancients from cheating. For these barbarians. The old man still doesn't trust them much. They have no faith in their own people. and how can you speak faith to us?"

"Master Zhang. Xiaguan will accompany you tomorrow. After all, I know a lot about these 'Mongolian' ancients." Fang Fengshi, who had not spoken, said.

"Forget it. Master Fang. I'll go with Landan. We are chincha. Besides. We can't all go out either. You and Lord Wang still have to stay in the city and preside over the overall situation. The old man has a plan. Now let's talk to the two adults."

"Master Zhang. What a good strategy. Tell us about it." Wang Chonggu's official position is high. Talk a lot casually.

"Such. Didn't Hannaji say that the dry food brought by the ancients was not enough for almost ten days? It's the seventh day. I want to drag with them. Drag him for three days. He even doesn't agree to our terms. What do you think?"

"Gao Ming. Mr. Zhang. You deserve to be the cabinet assistant. The two of us didn't expect it yet. No wonder Altan Khan had to negotiate for six days. It turned out that they were not well supplied with military rations. He couldn't stay long either. It looks like we will win this negotiation."

"So it was decided. The old man is also tired. I ran for three days in a row. This old bone is falling apart. You're tired, too. It's time for us to rest. I don't know if Lord Wang arranged for the old man and Lord Lan to rest there."

"Master Zhang. I've been ready for you a long time ago. Signed by many people outside the city now. For your safety, Lord Zhang. I have arranged for your resting place in this commander's house. You don't have to go to the post house outside. Don't be too shabby, Lord Zhang."

"There's the words. I, Zhang Juzheng, are not here to enjoy happiness. All it takes is a 'bed' to suffice." That being said. The Chin mission is coming. That's the highest standard of hospitality. How can you just do it?

Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi. Let the guy lead the way. Led the two of us to the prepared room. It is a detached two-storey building. My room with Zhang Juzheng is on the second floor. Here is my entourage. And Liu Jinhu ten of them. Outside, three steps and one sentry, five steps and one post. Looks like they're really working hard for our safety. Downstairs. After the two said goodbye. I followed Zhang Juzheng upstairs. There were also two little guys upstairs who picked us upstairs. This Wang Chonggu and Fang Feng arranged it very thoughtfully. I just wanted to follow the guy to my room.

Zhang Juzheng stopped me and said, "Yun Jie. You come down here. I have something to tell you for the teacher."

to Zhang Juzheng's bedroom. After sitting down in a chair. The little guy had already brought up the brewed tea. One of us poured us a glass. Zhang Juzheng took a sip of tea. Said: "Yun Jie. You see we're going to take those guys to tomorrow's negotiations. You know a little bit more about them. I think you're a good guy. I'm still relieved that they are more. So we rejected the kindness of Lord Wang to send us people."
