Chapter 238: The Partition of Mongolia (Page 1/1)

After the battle of Guihua City, Lin Dan Khan evaded Xue Boling's pursuit and fled back to Vazartucha Hancheng in embarr. Although the losses of the soldiers in this battle were not large, the morale of the Chahar tribes fell sharply, and most importantly, the other tribes saw the weakness of the Chahar in the face of the Ming army, and even more disobeyed the orders of Lin Dan Khan, which intensified the centrifugation of the Mongol tribes.

After the battle of Guihua City, Sun Chengzong successively met with the envoys of Horqin Minister Oba, Alu Korqin's Chegen Khan, and Nekhalkha Minister Fried Flowers. The envoy didn't say anything, but just proposed that he hoped to have a normal mutual market with Daming, so he asked Daming to open more horse markets, and was willing to sell the best uncastrated war horses to Daming.

The Mongol tribes have always been reluctant to sell strong war horses to the Ming Dynasty, and even if they do, they are castrated stallions, so as not to have strong cavalry in the Ming Dynasty. Now he is willing to sell the uncastrated war horse to Daming, which actually means that his life and safety are handed over to Daming, which is no different from Toucheng.

Sun Chengzong was naturally happy, and after consulting the emperor, he opened five more horse markets in various parts of Liaodong. These five places are located between Daming and Alu Korqin, Korqin, and Inner Khalkha, and Daming has connected these five places with G2 high-grade highways on the grounds of strengthening the mutual market. This allowed the guards stationed in Shenyang to reach these five horse markets within two days.

Zhu Youxiao not only agreed to open more horse markets, but also specially sent an envoy to Inner Khalkha to meet the fried flowers. The main envoy is Chen Qiyu, the squire of the military department, and the deputy envoy is Bai Jiansen. The messenger brought a thousand pieces of silver, a hundred pieces of cotton cloth, ten pieces of silk, and a hundred iron pots. Fried flowers are naturally hospitable, and I can't wait to offer the two of them.

Chen Qiyu said to the fried flowers: "Jinong, I came to your ministry today, mainly to convey the goodwill of my Ming Emperor to the five departments of Inner Khalkha, of course, His Majesty the Emperor originally wanted to crown Jinong as the king of Anyi of the Ming Dynasty, but I am afraid that Lin Dan Khan will be dissatisfied, so I want to discuss with Jinong first." (Note, the fried flower is not Jinong, but the Minister of Inner Khalkha, which is an honorific title here.) ）

Fried Hua's face changed continuously, he was naturally greedy for the reward of the Ming Dynasty, but now although Lin Dan Khan was defeated, he was still the Great Khan of the Mongols, and if he accepted the throne, he was afraid that the soldiers and horses of the Chahar troops would immediately push over.

He smiled and said: "He, the Great Khan, doesn't know how many days he can do, and the Ming Emperor's Endebenjinong is very grateful, but this King Anyi is better to wait for some time." ”

Chen Qiyu sighed secretly, if the fried flowers really want to accept King Anyi, it means that the Ming army will join forces with the Inner Khalkha departments to deal with Chahar. This is a good thing that the Ming people can't ask for, but unfortunately the fried flowers also think clearly, if Nekhalkha unites with other Mongolian tribes to defeat Chahar, then the Mongols will only praise him as a hero. But if he joined forces with the Ming army, although other tribes might not dare to say anything to his face, his reputation would also be greatly affected.

Fortunately, before Chen Qiyu came, the ministers in the court also discussed that Fried Flower would not accept the title of the Ming Dynasty now, but this should be a matter of time, and when Lin Dan Khan was beaten to pieces by the Ming army, all Mongolian ministries would compete to show goodwill to the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Qiyu smiled: "We believe that this day will come soon. There is one more thing to bother Jinong, we want to go to Transkhalkha, please ask Jinong to send us a few guides. ”

Sending guides was just an excuse, after the death of Dayan Khan, the five Inner Khalkha tribes moved south, far away from the seven outer Khalkha departments, but after all, the favor was still there. Chen Qiyu's meaning is that he wants to let the fried flowers serve as an intermediary between the Ming Dynasty and the Outer Khalkhas, and send a weighty person to make peace with them.

Of course, Fried Flower understood it, so he called his son Latulu and said: "You take the envoy of the Ming Dynasty to Transkhalkha and introduce the envoy to the Three Khans of Transkhalkha." ”

Chen Qiyu saw that the fried flowers were so good, so he naturally had to repay the favor. He took out a hundred silver coins and a piece of silk and gave them to Laturu, and gave an additional thousand silver coins to the fried flower himself.

So Latulu took the Ming envoy to Transkhalkha. There are two routes to Transkhalkha, one is from Inner Khalkha bypassing the Chahar Department and reaching Transkhalkha via Korqin and Alukorqin. The other is to return to the capital and return it after naturalization. Because Chen Qiyu still had to go to Horqin and Alu Korqin, he took the first route.

In the Horqin Division, after Chen Qiyu gave the reward of the Ming Emperor to Oba, he gave Hailanzhu's gift to her father Zhaisang. After taking out two beautiful mirrors among the gifts, Zhaisang gave the rest of the gifts to Oba and asked him to divide them among the Horqin tribes.

Oba saw that Hai Lanzhu's gift was almost in time for the Ming Dynasty emperor's reward to Horqin, and he thought in his heart that this Ming Dynasty was really rich, Hai Lanzhu was able to give so many gifts if he married a waiting master. He didn't expect that most of Hai Lanzhu's gifts were actually added by the emperor, which was to make the people of Horqin envy the wealth of the Ming Dynasty and strengthen Horqin's heart to join the Ming Dynasty.

The discussion of King Anyi, who fried flowers, came again in the Horqin tribe, and Oba said: "The pearls of Horqin are all married to Daming, will I, who is an uncle, still pit my niece?" Please rest assured that Emperor Daming will definitely follow Daming. As for the throne, let's talk about it later. ”

Chen Qiyu said with a smile: "In short, I can't run away, if I have something to trouble the prince, please look at today's matter, give me a little thin noodles." ”

Oba smiled: "Of course, there are good skins here, please two messengers laugh." ”

Chen Qiyu smiled: "This really doesn't work. When we are on a mission, we are not allowed to accept things from private individuals. What the foreign minister just said will not be a private matter. His Majesty the Emperor said that the goodwill between Han and Mongolia began with the Horqin tribe at the earliest, and Minister Oba was the best friend of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Oba also smiled and said: "The friendship between Han and Mongolia is beneficial to both races, and our Horqin tribe will devote ourselves to this and do our best for the peace and friendship of the two races." ”

Alu Korqin's Chegen Khan, like Oba, was also willing to have friendly exchanges with the Ming Dynasty, but Chen Qiyu, the proposal of King Anyi, did not mention it again, because the mention of Chegen Khan would definitely agree, and the Ming army was the farthest away from Alukorqin, if Lin Dan Khan sent troops to recruit Chegen Khan, the Ming army would not be able to rescue in time, which would greatly reduce the deterrent power of the Ming army in the eyes of the Mongols.

Therefore, after Chen Qiyu handed out the emperor's reward, he just chatted with Chegen Khan about how to conduct mutual markets in the future, such as what items were needed to be sold by Daming, and what kind of goods Alukorqin could provide.
