Since the ministers all thought that it would be better to recruit troops from among the Mongols again, the Ming court sent messengers to summon the leaders of the Mongol tribes to Baicheng to discuss the matter of better integration into the Ming Dynasty, and Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi, as representatives of the Ming court, went to Baicheng to preside.

The tribal leaders will naturally not refuse, now the Ming Dynasty is not only powerful, but also economically developed, every year from the Ming Dynasty to transport more and more good things, more and more exquisite production, of course, the price is getting more and more expensive. After the Mongols could not rob, they finally realized the power of the economy, and the goods of the Mongols could not be sold at a high price, and a small mirror actually required a hundred sheep in exchange, and the colored silk to worship the Buddha was also expensive, and this was indispensable. If it weren't for the mercy of His Majesty the Emperor and the purchase of wool in large quantities, so that the tribes would have some living money, the leaders of some small tribes would have been so poor that they could not bear to rob them.

Now the Ming said that he was coming to a meeting, and the matter of integrating Mongolia into the Ming Dynasty was discussed, which made the heads of the various tribes extremely excited. Therefore, when Sun Chengzong and the two came to Baicheng, not to mention the large tribes such as Horqin and Nekhalkha, which were close to each other, even small tribes like Karaqin, the leaders also came in person to see if they could get any benefits.

The Chahar Department is the master, and Erke Konggol, as the Chahar Jinong, because of its proximity to Liaodong, has frequent exchanges of goods with the Han people in Liaodong, and has established a good relationship with them, so the economic situation of Chahar is good among the Mongolian tribes. And this time, he borrowed Baicheng as the meeting site, and Daming specially rewarded the Chahar Department with 20,000 yuan, which made Erke Konggol overjoyed.

As soon as Sun Chengzong and the two arrived, they were greeted in the largest house in Baicheng. Erke Kongol personally received the two high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty, and ordered them to be entertained with the highest standard, and all of them were Mongolian beauties.

Sun Chengzong kept his face silent, while Xiong Tingbi looked at those Mongolian girls who were more than vigorous and not soft enough, and just smiled slightly: "Jinong has a heart, and this official has thanked Jinong for his hospitality on behalf of Sun Gelao." ”

Erke Kongguoer smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyebrows, and said in a loud voice: "As long as Sun Ge Lao and Chief of Staff Xiong are comfortable, then Xiao Khan will be content." He looked at these two and thought that if he entertained well, maybe Daming would be rewarded again, and it would really be done. The big mirror that his Fujin wanted to buy last time can now be bought with a wave of his hand, and if there is a reward, then Xiao Fujin can also buy another one.

Sun Chengzong finally spoke up: "Are the leaders of the other tribes here?" ”

Erke Kongguo said: "The major tribes, all the small tribes, are the ministers or leaders who came, everyone thought that the elder would only arrive tomorrow, but I didn't know that the elder would come by car, so he didn't come to greet him, do you want Xiao Khan to inform me." ”

Only then did Sun Chengzong show a smile and said: "Jinong is good, this idiom is used very accurately." Let's discuss something with Jinong first, I don't think we need to inform them, they should know that we're here soon, Jinong will sit down first, and let's talk about it when they don't come. ”

Erke Kongol sat down a little carelessly and looked at Sun Chengzong. Sun Chengzong said: "Jinong thinks that he is still having a good time now? ”

Erke Kongol was taken aback: "Why did the elder say this? Since Xiao Khan returned to the Ming Dynasty, he has not had two hearts. ”

Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Jinong, don't worry, Chengzong has no other meaning, it's just that my Ming Emperor specially instructed me to wait to carefully inspect the herdsmen's life in the Har Department, at least better than before." ”

Erke Kongol smiled reassuringly: "Speaking of which, the life of the herdsmen is much better than before, at least in the case of the white plague, the relief of the imperial court has made the situation of starvation death no longer happen." That's what I'm grateful for. ”

Xiong Tingbi smiled: "Listening to Jinong, there should be something that is not very satisfied?" ”

Erke Kongol hurriedly denied: "No, no, it's just that Xiao Khan is more greedy, Da Ming's utensils are exquisite, Xiao Khan wants to buy some rare things, especially glass mirrors, but he thinks it's too expensive, this is purely Xiao Khan's own problem." ”

Sun Chengzong smiled and said nothing, Erke Kongol himself did not take the initiative to assist the Ming Dynasty's northern expedition, so he did not receive the rewarded gold coins and glass mirrors, and this matter is now brought up to express his dissatisfaction a little. It was this dissatisfaction that was needed to get him to agree to the next negotiations. Xiong Tingbi said: "So that's the case, the old man has a way, I don't know if Jinong is interested." ”

Erke Kongol hurriedly asked: "Chief of Staff, please speak, Xiao Khan listens." ”

Xiong Tingbi said: "If the Ming Dynasty wants to explore the Northland, it needs more troops. The herdsmen of various tribes of Mongolia adapted to the cold weather in the north, and if they joined the Ming army, it would be very suitable. ”

Erke Kongol was stunned for a moment and said, "Our tribes have already sent troops to assist the imperial court in the northern expedition?" ”

Xiong Tingbi smiled and said, "Yes, each tribe has contributed some troops to assist the imperial court, but the leaders of the various tribes have not received any benefits." The court was upset, although the Inner Khalkha Department and the Koruqin Department were rewarded that day, but the other ministries were not rewarded, and the court wanted to compensate, but there was no proper name, so it thought of a way, no longer asking the tribes to send troops to assist the guards, but directly recruiting troops in the tribes, and each Mongolian soldier recruited, he gave five yuan to the tribe, and then the soldier was in the army for a year, and gave the tribe five yuan, so that the tribe also fell some benefits. ”

Erke Kongol thought to himself that he had sent 10,000 troops, just because he was a little late for Bioba and Fried Flowers, and as a result, he didn't get anything, so he could only look at the glass mirror of the two of them and drool. If at the current price, you can get 50,000 yuan first, and then you can get 50,000 yuan every year, so not to mention the small mirror that Oba and they rewarded, even if it is the kind of large mirror that is life-like, you can buy a few faces.

Of course, will this prevent him from controlling his subordinates? Erke Kongol shook his head firmly in his heart, did he still want to unify Mongolia like his father Khan? Da Ming is so powerful that he didn't drive himself to the poor extreme north, which is already very good.

He immediately said: "The court is deeply gracious, and it really makes Xiao Khan admire." ”

Xiong Tingbi pursed his lips, I still don't think this Chinese language is very good, shouldn't I use gratitude? He smiled and said: "Jinong is willing, if you do this, the court will not let people say favoritism in the back." ”

Erke Kongol's face was slightly red, but he himself was red-faced, but he was not afraid of being seen, and hurriedly said: "Someone slandered the court like this, and Xiao Khan had nothing to do with him. ”
