Chongzhen's ingenious conversation topic completely disrupted the conversation steps that Lin Dan Khan had been envisioning since he set off, which made him fall into a state of aphasia for a while.

Lin Dan Khan was also observing the expressions of his subordinates and the Suiktu Taiji from Mobei, and he just glanced at them to understand how interested these people were in Chongzhen's claims.

Lin Dan Khan could only sigh in his heart about this, although he took Genghis Khan as an example everywhere, but in terms of resolute and decisive character, he did not even have one percent of this ancestor.

The successive defeats on the various battlefields against the Houjin had actually left Lin Dan Khan's self-confidence seriously lacking, and the image of wisdom and generosity that he had erected in front of his subordinates and subjects was now almost completely bankrupt.

Now Lin Dan Khan is like a gambler who is about to lose all his chips, for every bet he makes, he is either forward-looking or reckless and impulsive, just like a traveler who has lost his way in the desert.

After seeing the intentions of his subordinates, he made the mistake of indecisiveness again, and he couldn't immediately refute Chongzhen's statement. However, his silence is also an attitude in the eyes of others.

For example, the silence of Lin Dan Khan was taken as a tacit acquiescence, as the weaker Mobei Mongols had always nominally submitted to the powerful Mongols, and used this to fight against their common enemy, the Moxi Mongols, that is, the Oirat Mongol tribes.

However, submission to submission does not mean that the Mongol tribes of Mobei are really willing to be the little brother of Mongol in Monan. For example, if he hadn't failed in the battle with the right-wing tribes of Transkhalkha, he would not have traveled thousands of miles to get Lin Dan Khan to send troops to Mobei.

What's more, Khtutaiji looks like a person who has little desire for secular power other than religious beliefs. But wasn't the reason for his war with the right-wing tribes of Transkhalkha to compete for the tribal population that had fled from southern Mongolia to northern Mobei. If it weren't for the expansion of his own power, how could he have started a war with the right-wing tribes for the population.

It is to follow Lin Dan Khan to restore the glory of the golden family; Or follow the advice of Emperor Yu Ming and pursue a happy life in the Mongol tribes, in the heart of Yuktu Taiji, there is actually nothing to choose. Rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the ox, this truth is not only understood by Han people.

He looked at Lin Dan Khan and didn't refute silently, so he immediately said out loud: "The emperor's benevolent heart can be felt by foreign ministers like me. If the emperor could really treat the Mongols and Han Chinese as equals and help us live a happy life, how could we not want to? Great Khan, you are the Great Khan of our Mongols, and it is up to you to decide the emperor's proposal. No matter what others think, as long as it is for the benefit of the Mongols, I am willing to be the first to stand up and support the negotiations between the Great Khan and the emperor. ”

The statement of the Taiji immediately aroused the solidarity of a group of Taiji, and Lin Dan Khan, who was already hesitant, was even more difficult to say the words of refusal at this time.

Hai Lanzhu, who was the translator for Zhu Youzhen, observed the reactions of Lin Danhan and others, and quietly looked at Chongzhen, who was leisurely eating the milk strips on the table after throwing a difficult problem to Lin Danhan.

As the eldest daughter of the Zaisan family of the Horqin tribe, Hai Lanzhu is no stranger to power struggles between clans. Although Lin Dan Khan was deflated again and again in front of the Houjin Kingdom, he seemed to be a little incompetent. But before the rise of the Later Jin, no one in the left-wing Mongol tribes had defeated Lin Dan Khan. Even the Korqin Ministry, with the help of the Jurchens, was not completely annexed by the Chahar Ministry.

It's just that although the Horqin tribe escaped the fate of being annexed by the Chahar tribe, they did not rely on their own strength to be independent, and now they have slowly become vassals of the Houjin.

After witnessing the first battle between Chongzhen and Lin Dan Khan, Hai Lanzhu suddenly realized that the way in which his own tribe's Taiji and Nayan fought for power and profit was too petty.

Let the Mongols, like the Han Chinese, have the power to pursue a happy life. It is similar to what the Houjin Khan said, the remarks of the Manmeng family. It's just that compared to Houjin, who only has excellent military force, the rich Ming Dynasty is obviously more likely to be listened to by these Mongolian Taiji.

Lin Dan Khan, who couldn't tear his face with Daming, finally hesitantly accepted Chongzhen's statement in the ardent expectations of his subordinates, which set the tone for the alliance between the two.

Although he was in his own big tent, Lin Dan Khan still felt extremely lonely. Because Chongzhen's proposal disrupted the various issues he had previously discussed with his cronies, Lin Dan Khan quickly cut off Chongzhen's desire to continue the discussion on how to make the Mongols live a happy life as Han Chinese.

He needs time to re-respond to the main idea of the talks proposed by Chongzhen, and he can't let Chongzhen completely lead him by the nose in the talks. Therefore, Lin Dan Khan suggested to Chongzhen that today is the first time everyone has met, and there is no need to get to the point so quickly for the time being, it is better to let him entertain Chongzhen first, and let the two sides get acquainted with each other first.

Zhu Youzhen understood Lin Danhan's intentions, but he did not refuse this proposal. In fact, as long as Lin Dan Khan can agree that the Mongols and the Ming Kingdom belong to China, the meeting will already be considered a minimum goal. As for whether other conditions can be negotiated, he actually does not expect to solve the problem in a single meeting.

Lin Dan Khan is not an incompetent person after all, and if Da Ming wants to get anything from him, he must pay an equal or more price. The reason why Lin Dan Khan was willing to bow to Chongzhen was because he felt that the Chahar Ministry needed the Ming Dynasty, and even more so than the Ming Dynasty.

But in Chongzhen's eyes, this is not the case. At this stage, in fact, it should be that the Ming Dynasty needs the Chahar Department more. Because of the westward migration of the Chahar Department, the passage from the Later Jin to Monan Mongolia was opened, which means that the northwest border of the Ming Dynasty could become the location of the Later Jin invasion as long as the Later Jin wanted. Zhu Youzhen needed the Chahar Department to re-block the passage on this grassland, so he had to tie the Chahar Department and Daming together.

Perhaps the Chahar Department could not carry the Houjin army in the front, but in the vast steppe, the ability of logistics and supply was more important than the combat capability of the army. Only with the assistance of the Chahar Ministry was the Ming army able to cut off the logistical supply capacity of the Later Jin, forcing the Later Jin to give up the delusion of an expedition to the Ming Dynasty by detouring through the Mongolian steppe.

Of course, even the Mongols would not have believed that the Later Jin army would have made such a suicidal move if the Later Jin had not succeeded in realizing such an expedition. Therefore, Zhu Youzhen did not intend to show excessive enthusiasm for the alliance, so that Lin Dan Khan would take the opportunity to extort some more benefits.

However, Zhu Youzhen did not plan to continue to place the meeting in Lin Dan Khan's camp. He could take a risk and show his sincerity to the Taiji and Nayan of the Mongolian left that he wanted to join the alliance, but it did not mean that he was willing to put his life in the hands of an unreliable ally.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen followed Lin Dan Khan's words and said: "Since the King Khan thinks that it is not appropriate to talk about things today, I will be the master and the guest." But to be honest, the place in this big tent is small, the light is dim, and after sitting for a long time, you will be depressed, and it is really not a good place to talk about things.

Either we choose a suitable mansion in Zhangjiakou as the venue for the meeting; Either build a few bungalows between the camp and the gate to serve as a venue for the two sides to meet and talk. What do you think, King Khan? ”

Lin Danhan hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "We are noisy, and I am afraid it will be inconvenient to enter the city." Or should we build a few bungalows as a venue for the meeting, but I don't know how long it will take? ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "It's just a few temporary bungalows, and it will be done in three or five days." Didn't King Khan say that before this meeting, everyone should familiarize themselves with each other? I see that when building a bungalow, let's not be idle, let's get close to each other first.

Since today is the King Khan's invitation to a banquet, tomorrow I will set up a banquet in Zhangjiakou to invite you. This Zhangjiakou is already a big market, and you can also go around by the way, buy a few gifts for your family, and don't ask you to come for nothing..."

Chongzhen's words suddenly made the Taiji present laugh heartily, and many people got up to salute Chongzhen, expressing their gratitude to the emperor for the reward for their families. Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Dan Khan quickly interrupted the thanks of these Taiji and ordered the guards outside to bring wine and dishes.

What Lin Dan Khan used to entertain Chongzhen was naturally not the wine and food sent from Zhangjiakou, but the live mutton and mare's milk wine brought by the Mongols. Hai Lanzhu was very careful when handling these wine and meat on the side, whether it was mare's milk wine or mutton, she had to taste it before giving it to Chongzhen. Even if Chongzhen, whose cheeks were red from drinking, hinted that she didn't have to do this, Hai Lanzhu still didn't change.

The meeting between the Chinese emperor and the Tatar chieftains made Methwold extremely excited. It was also the first time he had seen the Eastern way of state negotiations. It's a pity that he doesn't have a translator by his side who is as dedicated as Hai Lanzhu, so he doesn't know much about the content of this meeting.

However, the outcome of this meeting made him guess, and although the Tatar leaders put on a posture of flaring their teeth and claws, the emperor easily broke the Tatar army and made the Tatar Khan bow to him.

Methwold greatly appreciated Chongzhen's political ability during the talks, which did not be held hostage by stupid morals and beliefs, nor did he pander to the Tatars without a bottom line.

Methwold hated the foolish religious and foreign policies of his own king. It would be nice if Charles I, like the Chinese emperor, could be more objective about religious beliefs and flexible with his subjects.

Zhu Youzhen, who had left the Mongol camp, was already a little drunk, and Hai Lanzhu rode beside him and pulled the reins of his horse to prevent Chongzhen from suddenly startling his mount.

However, although Zhu Youjian's alcohol consumption is ordinary, the wine is good, and he didn't do anything absurd on the way back, just stared at the moon in the sky blankly, and sang a little song in a muttering voice.

“… The crooked boat..."Hai Lanzhu listened quietly, thinking that this little song was really good, but which Gillian Chongzhen missed? This made her feel a pang of trouble in her heart.

Wu Huai and the others, who were standing at the pass, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Chongzhen return safely. It was a long day for them.
