Chapter 400: Clever Blackmail
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, when the eldest brother returns here from Beijing, the portrait will be there." Besides, he laughed.
"Thank you very much." The little prince saluted solemnly and thanked him.
"That's polite, brother." Besides, he waved his hand with a look of no surprise.
At this moment, a guard suddenly came in from outside and whispered a few words in the little prince's ear.
"Huh? Please let the messenger in. The little prince said.
Besides, he had already heard the words of the Tatar guard, and he chuckled in his heart, the border army still made a fuss, Wang Chonggu sent someone to ask him to go back quickly, it must be because of this matter, if it was something else, Wang Chonggu would not ignore diplomatic etiquette, and sent someone over to ask him to interrupt the visit and rush back to Guannei.
Suddenly, an official ran in, stunned and looked at the big people in the tent, a little dazed.
"You were sent by Governor Wang? Is there anything that matters? Besides, he asked.
"Lord Chincha, Lord Governor, please go back immediately, something big has happened in the city." The official didn't care about saluting, and hurriedly said.
"Li Zhipeng is making a fuss?" Besides, he said coldly.
"Well, that's true." The official saw that there were many foreign nobles here, so he could not explain the situation in detail.
"I said, big brother, this is your inauthenticity, we are about to start formal negotiations, but you are making small moves behind your back." Besides, his face changed greatly, and he made a color.
"What's going on?" The little prince was confused, not knowing what he was talking about.
"You instigated our border army to oppose my brocade guards, isn't this a small action?" Besides.
The little prince smiled and said: "Brother, the conscience of heaven and earth, I don't know about this at all, and besides, I don't have the ability to provoke your border army to rebel." ”
Moreover, of course, he knew this, and he also knew that the matter might not have anything to do with the little prince, but not necessarily with the other noble officials in the tent, and he said this to them.
"That's Sect Leader Zhao's gift to me? I haven't gotten out yet, and the gift has arrived first? Besides, he sneered.
The little prince wanted to speak and stopped, if he said that it was the Zhao Sect Master, of course it was very possible, this great god made his own opinions, but he could do anything.
"Brother, I really don't know, I can only say this to you, this kind of thing has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with my subordinates." The little prince smiled bitterly.
"That's it, Your Highness Qincha, we are also going to enter the customs, it is impossible to make any small moves at this time, isn't that harming others and ourselves?" A Tatar nobleman stepped forward and explained.
"Then please send a message to Sect Master Zhao, just say that in the future, try to do as little as possible in this kind of thing, it's best not to do it, otherwise we will fight back, let him not forget, his Great Elder and His Royal Highness the Holy Maiden are still in Beijing, and the imperial court only gave the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Prince of Alta to let them go, if he continues to secretly make ghosts, his Great Elder and Holy Maiden will have to reconsider the candidates."
"Okay, I'll pass the word to him, this may not be what Sect Master Zhao did, it may be that the people below are messing around."
"That's it, I have to go back right away." After saying that, he hurriedly walked out of the king's tent.
Qi Jiguang also hurriedly followed, and the rest of the people naturally followed quietly, needless to say.
The little prince hurriedly sent off the guests with his subordinates, and he also felt a little ashamed in his heart, if it was really as he said, this thing was really not very authentic.
Besides, he mounted his horse, turned around and saluted the little prince with his fists, and then said: "Please report to the king of Alta, just say that I insist on taking 10,000 people out of the customs this time, if the king of Alta thinks it is inappropriate, this negotiation will be canceled, let's go back to our respective homes, and find our mothers." ”
After saying that, he clamped the horse's belly slightly, and the horse that sat down shot out like an arrow.
He didn't come out on a royal horse this time, but chose one of his subordinates' horses. The horse ran too fast, and he had to stop from time to time to wait for others, feeling a little out of the crowd.
The little prince sighed in his heart, knowing that this was an ultimatum, this Han Anda was really the character of a little overlord.
Besides, it was deliberate, deliberately grabbing Zhao Quan's small actions, which was equivalent to grabbing the other party's pigtails, and in the future, the situation would be eased, and the king of Da would have to agree to his somewhat excessive request.
"Forget it, let him bring someone in, no need to ask my Zu Khan." The little prince said.
"Your Highness, isn't this inappropriate?" A noble officer frowned.
"What's wrong, don't you often say that the Han people are weak and incompetent, and they are vulnerable? Does 10,000 make you afraid? The little prince sneered.
"No, this Jinyi Guard of His Royal Highness is not an ordinary official army, but carefully selected, after very strict training, and the equipment is also very sophisticated, it is said that they are even more elite than Guanning Iron Cavalry!" The noble officer said hurriedly.
"So what? But 10,000 people, can it really cause any trouble? The little prince said displeased.
"Not really." The noble officer wiped his sweat.
There is a price to pay for arguing with His Royal Highness the Little Prince, in case His Royal Highness holds a grudge, when he takes power, his own clan will not have a good life.
"If it's not, then why is it so verbose? Could it be that it is cowardice? The little prince pressed step by step.
At this time, another noble official came over and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the main thing is not the matter of these 10,000 elite soldiers, but the strict principle of reciprocity in diplomatic etiquette, all personnel, including the guards, must notify the other party in advance, and then obtain the consent of the other party, but we have strictly abided by this rule." ”
"Didn't my brother inform us now? I agreed, do I have no right to approve this? The little prince said angrily.
Several nobles didn't dare to speak, shrunk their thick necks, and they all smiled bitterly.
Who dares to say that this master has no power, that's not looking for death.
Even if they don't want to die, they have to think about their own people.
The Ming Dynasty also had relatively perfect laws to ensure the safety of its subjects, and in the Saiwai Empire, the life and death of a person or even a group of people were under the words of the supreme power holder.
Now the king of Altan is the holder of this supreme power, and the one who will inherit this power in the future will be the little prince Hannaji.
Besides, after riding ten miles, he laughed on his horse.
"What are you laughing at?" Qi Jiguang felt inexplicable.
"Haha, this is really a gift from Sect Master Zhao, and I happened to grab the pigtails. This time, there is no obstacle for me to take 10,000 people out of the customs. Besides.
"How so? Are these two different things? Qi Jiguang didn't understand.
"It's the same thing, they have to think about it back if they lose money this time, otherwise they will be afraid of retaliation, if after His Royal Highness the Little Prince enters the customs, we will also make small moves behind our backs, and the little prince and the Great Elder of the White Lotus Sect in Beijing and His Royal Highness the Holy Maiden will not have a good time." Moreover, explained.
"Oh, you just deliberately pretended to be so angry, but you were actually blackmailing people?" Qi Jiguang laughed.
"It's not blackmail, it's necessary to bring people out of the customs this time, this is my bottom line, otherwise the negotiations will be canceled. It's just that if there is no such thing, you will have to toss back and forth many times to reach an agreement, and now you don't need to, I guess His Royal Highness the Prince has already made a decision. Besides, he laughed.
"You even count your own brother? I'm glad I didn't bow down to you. Qi Jiguang was sweating.
"I didn't calculate His Royal Highness the Little Prince, I calculated King Altan and Sect Master Zhao. These are two different things. The little prince made this decision, and he didn't have to bear any responsibility, if he was responsible, it was also on Sect Leader Zhao. Besides.
"I don't think it's the same thing." Qi Jiguang muttered.
Thirty miles was not far away, and their group were all good horses, and they had reached the pass in a short time.
When the people who closed the door saw the sign of the minister in front of the procession, they hurriedly sent someone out of a corner gate to verify, and then quickly opened the gate to welcome the minister back.
"What the hell is going on in the city?" Besides, at this time, he asked the official sent by Wang Chonggu.
"The border army, under the leadership of General Li, made a noise and surrounded the Qincha Office, wanting to recover the bodies of Liao Bingxun and Rong Zhongjun." The official hurriedly bowed down on his horse and reported.
"Well, Lord Cao, they didn't agree, did they?" Besides, he laughed.
"Lord Cao hasn't spoken yet, your commander Sun is gone, and the people who commanded the Jinyi Guard surrounded the border army and refused to let one go, and now the two sides are deadlocked, just waiting for you to come back and decide what to do."
"Haha, Sun Hu did this authentically, Li Zhipeng's grandsons have to clean them up like this." Besides, it's very airway-solving.
"Commander Sun is still reckless, this kind of thing is not suitable for big fights, it is better to make big things small." Qi Jiguang smiled bitterly.
He also knew that besides, he still didn't agree with it, he felt that it was normal for the border army to make trouble, it was widespread, and the imperial court was not in a rut, and it was impossible to completely solve these problems.
Of course, he understands this truth, but he is a doctor, and when he encounters this situation, it is like encountering a tumor on the patient's body, and he will feel uncomfortable if he does not cut it off, and he must be cut off immediately.
As for the common situation of the border army, of course he can't control it, he can only solve one thing when he encounters it, and if he can't meet it, he should not exist, no matter what, he can't meet it and pretend not to see it, right?
Wang Chonggu and the imperial court are now in this attitude, pretending not to see the slack and domineering style of the border army, the soldiers are arrogant and fierce, but they are vulnerable to war when they encounter war.
Besides, he can't help this, as long as he sees it, he has to reach out and take care of it, he doesn't have power in his hands, he now has the highest power in his hands, of course he has to use it.
Moreover, when training the sixth guard of brocade, he firmly established a principle, and the benefits that should be given to his subordinates are not bad, and they should be given more in the cold and summer seasons, but in terms of discipline, there is absolutely zero tolerance.
Of course, the border army can't compare with the well-equipped, well-trained, double pay and various welfare benefits of the Jinyi Sixth Guard, but they can't blindly connive at it.
"If the negotiations can succeed and bring a hundred years of peace to the imperial court, there will be time to put the border army in order." Besides, he sighed.
He hoped that all the officers and soldiers would be like his Sixth Guard in Jinyi, better than the Guanning Iron Cavalry, in this case, even if the number of officers and soldiers was reduced by half, it would be enough.
Soldiers are not many but fine, this is a truth that everyone understands. However, now the imperial court still relies on the quantity of officials and soldiers rather than the quality.
