Chapter 273: Gushi Khan Becomes a Vassal (Page 1/1)

Xu Pengmin thought to himself, if that's the case, why did I come to see you. Then he continued: "I heard that the Great Khan is fighting with the Rakshasa Kingdom in the north, and the Khalkha Ministry is fighting in the east, and now I am about to enter Lhasa, but Lin Dan Khan and others are blocking it. In this case, why didn't the Great Khan pay tribute to the Daming, so that he could befriend the Daming, and the Daming could also influence the Khalkha Ministry. ”

The Trans-Khalkha Ministry has been subordinated to the Ming Dynasty, and Gushi Khan knows it, but the Ming Dynasty will generally not interfere in the battle between Trans-Khalkha and the Tile Thorn, but if the Trans-Khalkha is defeated, the Ming will participate in the attack on the Tile Thorn.

And more importantly, the Rakshasa country, Gushi Khan has found traces of the Rakshasa people in the north, although the Rakshasa people found now are still relatively few, and can not pose much threat to the Gushi Khan, but the firearms of the Rakshasa people make the Varsa people deeply afraid, Gushi Khan does not want to fight in many ways, if you can form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, first keep the south and east peaceful, and then concentrate on dealing with the Rakshasa people is naturally the best, but if you want to pay tribute to the Daming, this has to think about it.

Xu Pengmin is not in a hurry, and he does not expect to convince Gu Shi Khan all at once, he must always give him enough time to weigh the pros and cons before he can make a decision. He took his leave, leaving Gushi Khan to continue thinking.

Gushi Khan summoned his subordinates Khan, Hongtaiji, Jinong, Dataiji, and Zhangjiahutuketu to a meeting to discuss whether to pay tribute to the Daming.

Everyone knows the situation of the tile spur now, so his Jinong Aullah said: "Great Khan, we have the Rakshasa country in the north that is looking for trouble at any time, and the Khalkha in the east has always been hostile to us, and now Lin Dan Khan occupies the big grass beach, this kind of enemy on all sides is not pleasant, if you can make friends with the Ming Dynasty, at least you can suppress the Khalkha and jointly deal with Lin Dan Khan." This is a saying of the Han people, distant friendship and close attack. ”

His son Latsi disagreed: "If you want us to pay tribute to the Great Ming, that is to submit to the Great Ming, when did we fall to this point." ”

Ratsi's words resonated with many people, and everyone felt that it was unacceptable to submit to the Ming Dynasty, and there was no problem in forming an alliance.

Aula had a few Han friends, and he understood the Han people's thoughts very well, so he said: "Actually, there is actually no difference between paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty and forming an alliance. The Ming Emperor thought that he owned the world, and all the forces could only become his vassal states, and we only needed to give him some symbolic gifts as tribute every year, and there was no need to do anything else. ”

Gushi Khan said: "This is true, the tile spur used to be a member of the Ming Dynasty, and later he grabbed the Ming Emperor and asked for a ransom." So we nominally belong to the Ming Dynasty and pay them tribute every year, but we can get great benefits. ”

Ratsi said: "Will the Ming really restrict the Khalkha tribes?" ”

Gushi Khan said: "The Khalkha should only be a nominal vassal state, and the Ming should have no limited power over them, but there should be no problem in making peace in the middle." We have submitted to the Ming Dynasty, and if we encounter a powerful enemy, such as the Rakshasas, we can ask the Ming for help at that time, and I heard that the Ming Dynasty's firearms are also very powerful. ”

When everyone heard that there was such a thing, they naturally felt that they only needed to pay a name to get the actual benefits, which was considered to be earned anyway, so everyone decided together to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Pengmin was summoned to the big tent by Gushi Khan, and Gushi Khan spoke: "The sign you showed Ben Khan a few days ago shows that you should be a person from the Ming Dynasty, but it is uncertain whether it is a messenger or not." We discussed it for a while, and decided to submit to the Ming Dynasty, and I will send someone to Beijing City to meet the Ming Emperor, and you will go as a guide. ”

Xu Pengmin was overjoyed and said: "May it be driven by the Great Khan." This was much more important than gathering information, and he instructed his men to continue their activities in Dogansi and wait until he returned from the capital before going to Wusizang. So he took the messenger of Gushi Khan and went to the capital.

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a long time after receiving the report, it seems that his ideas are not bold enough sometimes, this person from the Military Survey and Statistics Bureau is good, and he actually served as an envoy, and he persuaded the Tile Spur people to surrender without making a sound.

And Dai Chunfeng felt that he was in the limelight, Xu Pengmin gave himself such a face, he naturally wanted to reward him well. So he played to the emperor, hoping to promote Xu Pengmin's special affairs office to major general (the promotion time of military rank is at the end of each year), and the emperor naturally would not refute him with such a face, so Xu Pengmin became the third person to be promoted to major general in the Military Survey and Statistics Bureau.

Gushi Khan's title of vassal, Nagon, was a decision that could be reversed at any time in the eyes of the Vaspurs, and it was not taken seriously. But it is very important for the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty is a country that pays attention to the name and righteousness, and it must be famous when fighting, such as attacking Japan because the Japanese attacked the Ming Dynasty's subject country Ryukyu, attacking Luzon because the Spaniards killed the Chinese, and recovering the Hetao because the Hetao was originally the Ming Dynasty. Now that the tile spur has become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, if one day he does not obey the edict of the Ming Emperor, or shows hostility towards the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty will be able to send troops to quell the rebellion with reasonable evidence. The different ideas of the two countries have caused a misunderstanding about the importance of this tribute matter, and now the Ming Dynasty, who is now high in military value, will obviously like this misunderstanding very much.

Zhu Youxiao recognized Gushi Khan as the leader of the four tribes of the Tile Thorns, recognized his rule over the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and appointed him as the commander of the Duogansi Xuanwei Division and the commander of the Wusizang Xuanwei Division. These two Xuanwei Divisions were originally restrained, and the Ming Dynasty did not actually rule, not even officials. Now this appointment signifies that the Ming Dynasty recognizes Gushi Khan's authority to occupy these two regions.

Zhu Youxiao also rewarded Gushi Khan greatly, giving him a bucket of pearls, 1,000 yuan of silver coins, 100 pieces of brocade forging, 10 glass mirrors, a large box of soap, a large box of matches, and a large box of candles. In fact, this kind of reward can't be regarded as generous at all, but Zhu Youxiao feels that the meaning is enough, and he really rewards it, unless Gushi Khan does something beneficial to Daming, and it is not too late to give some substantial rewards.

Of course, this little reward is already great in the eyes of Gushi Khan, and he doesn't like the pearl, but the glass mirror and soap matches make him love it, so the ingenious and practical items are what he needs, of course, the brocade forging is also very good, you can give it to the living Buddha, tear it into one by one, and dot it on the mountain.

Zhu Youxiao gave an order to Shaanxi Governor Hong Chengchou and Man Gui to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, let Gushi Khan and Lin Dan Khan fight first, and wait until the two sides have decided the victory. If Gushi Khan wanted to enter the Wusi Tibetan area, he could be provided with mercenaries to familiarize himself with the situation in the Wusi Tibetan area.
