Lin Dan Khan was a little disappointed, but more joyful. The two Ming envoys were willing to help him without telling their emperor, and this was the biggest gain. Now I am willing to send someone to help him fight, and it will be possible to help him improve his weapons in the future.

He smiled and said: "That Ben Khan thanked the two of them for their help first, and after today's dinner, Ben Khan has gifts to give, and he also invited the two of them to laugh." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "I'll talk about the gift later, I have to talk about the rules about the mercenaries first, the Great Khan thinks it's feasible, then of course it's best." If the Great Khan has objections, it will be treated as if we did not say it. ”

Lin Danhan hurriedly said: "Although the bachelor said, I have nothing to disagree. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Don't promise too early first. You also know that if this news comes out, we will both be charged with murder. And if you want to hide it from the country, the most important of them are these mercenaries. If someone runs away and reports it to the higher-ups, it's a tragic thing. Therefore, this mercenary army must be led by trustworthy people, who are responsible for managing it, and the Great Khan cannot interfere in it. ”

Lin Dan Khan said: "This is natural, Ben Khan will never interfere in their internal affairs, as long as they can fight." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "The mercenaries must be well paid to help the Great Khan fight, otherwise it is impossible for these veterans to do it. First of all, there must be a salary not inferior to that of the Guards for a month, and then a part of the harvest must be given to them for each battle. ”

Lin Dan Khan asked, "What is the salary of the Guards?" How much of the harvest after the battle was given to them? ”

Xiong Tingbi said: "Ten yuan a month for ordinary soldiers, fifteen yuan for the first level of assassination, twenty yuan for captains, and so on, the higher the rank, the higher the official position, the more salary." A doubling of the number of mercenaries participating in the battle as a percentage of the total number of combatants is the mercenary deserved. ”

Lin Danhan calculated in his heart, this price is indeed a bit expensive, but the Guards have strong combat effectiveness, especially the veterans, and they are even more powerful. The Ming people are really a waste, it's a pity that these veterans let them retire. "No problem," he said. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "The mercenaries take twice as much as others because they are far away from the Ming Dynasty, and if they don't have enough income, they will have no intention of fighting." The death pension for each Ming Guard is 1,000 yuan, and the mercenary needs 2,000 yuan. ”

Lin Dan Khan said: "It's so expensive." ”

Xiong Tingbi said angrily: "Mercenaries are far away from their own country, go to distant places to fight, and after death, they can only transport the ashes back to their hometown, is two thousand yuan a lot?" ”

Lin Danhan hurriedly said: "No more, no less." In his heart, he secretly made up his mind to try to let the mercenaries exist as a deterrent, otherwise he would not be able to afford to die a few more.

The two sides discussed some specific matters carefully, and in the evening, Lin Dan Khan held a banquet to entertain the Ming envoys, and the Mongol warriors lost the battle to the Ming army, and they were not convinced, so they wanted to win back at the wine table. Lu Xiangsheng symbolically drank a bowl of wine, and refused the Mongols' persuasion on the grounds that he was too strong to drink. The Mongols became more and more annoyed, and although Xiong Tingbi was old, he was very good at drinking, so he fought with the Mongols, and finally fell to the ground unconscious, which finally made the Mongols sulk.

Lin Dan Khan gave Lu Xiangsheng and Xiong Tingbi two thousand taels of silver each, a mink coat, a thousand-year-old ginseng, and their entourage also had gifts. Lu Xiang accepted Xiong Tingbi on behalf of him, and then the group returned to Du Guangting's camp.

As soon as he entered the camp, Xiong Tingbi woke up and scolded: "These Mongolian cubs are really good at drinking, Xiong Laozi will be really drunk if he doesn't pretend to be drunk." ”

Du Guangting stretched out his thumb and said, "Elder Xiong should be strong, and he is really a model for my generation." ”

Xiong Tingbi scolded: "I really can't fight, I really obeyed the Mongols when it comes to drinking." These people, if they have wine, they don't even want their lives. ”

Bai Jiansen was reconciling with the military judge: "Four thousand nine hundred taels of silver, two collars of mink, two branches of thousand-year-old ginseng, and three collars of sheepskin, these Mongolians are really small, give us a sheepskin coat." ”

Li Delin said: "The mink coat I gave you is not yours, what's the use." ”

Bai Jiansen said: "You are a single dog, and you have no family, naturally you don't have to worry about the family, after this gift is received, but there is a percent of it back, mink is much more expensive than sheepskin clothes, and I have one more family at home." ”

Li Delin said angrily: "You are not allowed to call me a single dog, your salary is no problem for you to support everyone, and you are so greedy for money." ”

Bai Jiansen smiled proudly: "This word is said by the emperor, adult men who have not married wives are single dogs." As for the greed for money, the emperor also said that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, I now have two sons, and it costs a lot of money to raise a son. ”

Li Delin's eyes erupted with fire, and he despised Bai Jiansen for showing off his son, so he wanted to fight back, Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand and said, "Okay, the gossip is over." You should sort out the record of the conversation just now, and if you don't remember, you can recall it together, and then send the record to the capital. At the same time, Wei Junru was informed that the ideological and political training of the mercenaries should be strengthened, and their psychological adaptability should also be strengthened, and it should be their turn to play soon. ”

So the three staff officers got busy, retold by Bai Jiansen, recorded by Li Delin, Zheng Shaozu was responsible for proofreading, Lu Xiangsheng and Xiong Tingbi listened carefully, raised some questions about words from time to time, and several people recalled together, and then wrote it.

The next day, Lin Dan Khan officially wrote a descendation table and sent Asurataiji as an envoy. And Lu Xiangsheng sent a banner of soldiers, led by Bai Jiansen, to escort Asura's to the capital.

Zhu Youxiao met with Asurataiji, accepted the surrender table of Lin Dan Khan, and named Lin Dan Khan as the Great Khan of Chahar, the administrator of the Chahar tribe, and the co-ruler of the entire Mongolia. The Great Khan is equivalent to the king, and this kind of title has never been used in the Ming Dynasty, and is only used in the Ming Dynasty, which means that Mongolia has become a subject country of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao rewarded Lin Dan Khan with a six-foot-high glass mirror, ten boxes of red candles as thick as a child's arm, ten boxes of high-grade sandalwood, ten boxes of silk, and ten boxes of cotton cloth. This is a relatively small reward, but considering that Lin Dan Khan has fewer gifts, but only ten white horses, such a reward is already very handy.

Ashura was very disappointed because Lindan Khan wanted to be made the Great Khan of the Mongols, not the Great Khan of Chahar. Although the Ming said that he was the co-lord of the whole Mongolia, other tribes would not admit this account. But the Ming Emperor is not sealed, so you can't sprinkle it here, and Lin Dan Khan doesn't know how to take his anger out on himself after he goes back.

After Zhu Youxiao rewarded Lin Dan Khan, he then convened a meeting of the cabinet and various ministries to discuss the Mongolian issue.
