Chapter 538: Zhang Juzheng's Instructions
The third lady was unhappy and left angrily, but half of her anger was pretended, and she thought that the matter was not over.
The iron trade was not so easy to negotiate, and her clan had been working hard, but she had never been able to reach a deal with the mainland. Later, it took a lot of effort to get a certain share from the king of Alta.
The third lady wanted to find another way to buy more iron tools for the clansmen. I didn't expect to be so faceless, and I didn't want to give in at all, if I made a request on the price, it would be easy to do, but besides, I asked for the number of military horses to be ten to one with iron.
This is something she can't agree to at all, there is no such reason in the world, this is a typical forced buying and selling.
"You don't think about it too much, I can see that he did it on purpose, he just doesn't want to talk to you." Appointed to the Holy Maiden.
"Hmph, he just looks down on me and thinks I'm not qualified, if only my cousin were here."
The third lady is angry about this, she believes that if the little prince puts Hannaji here, he will definitely show enough sincerity to negotiate, instead of the lion opening his mouth to scare people back.
"It's better to hand over this matter to your father and the king to talk to him in Bansheng City, as long as he is willing to talk, there is a way. Besides, although the profit from this transaction is large, it will not reach you, and it will all have to be handed over. "The previous saint was not interested in the trade of iron weapons, she mainly protected the third lady, lest she be young and knowledgeable, eager for success and profit, and be deceived by the situation.
The third lady sighed, she also understood that this business was negotiated, and it had to be handed over to her father for the final decision, and she had no right to decide on the sale of military horses.
Besides, he completely relaxed for two days, saying that he was relaxing, but in fact it was meditation and practice, and he felt that he couldn't spend all his mental energy on miscellaneous things.
Only by paying attention to the cultivation of the mind and practicing the mind to reach a certain level can we not miss every opportunity, never be confused or hesitant in a complex and dangerous situation, and lock the correct path with the most concise and powerful method and the fastest speed.
He summed this point from Wang Yangming's life experience.
On the evening of the next day, he received a letter from Zhang Juzheng, telling him to delay the day and process of the negotiations as much as possible, and at the same time try to find out the movements of various ethnic groups.
Moreover, after reading the letter, he immediately had an idea in his heart, and ordered Ji Chang to continue to close the camp tomorrow, saying that he was in poor health and needed to recuperate, and he could not preside over the auction conference for the time being.
"My lord, is that okay?" Ji Chang smiled bitterly.
"What's wrong?"
"In the past two days, there have been a few adults who have very opinions, saying that the adults deliberately stayed here for their own small interests, forgetting the great interests of the imperial court, and saying that this is a child's play with the century-old plan of the imperial court."
"The imperial court's hundred-year plan? Are they embarrassed to say this? Since they left Beijing, they have been making small moves, when did they take national affairs to heart? In my heart, I just calculated their little interests, and I haven't asked them to settle this account. And sneered.
Ji Chang laughed secretly, thinking that adults don't make much money. Of course, he couldn't pay attention to the good intentions of earning money to support the troops.
"Don't pay attention to them, just do as I say, and whoever they have an opinion will come to me to talk to."
"Yes." Ji Chang went out to give the order after answering the promise.
Besides, I was not happy in my heart, it can be seen from Zhang Juzheng's letter that although the true intention of the imperial court to send them over is unclear, the item of dragging the knife is very clear. can count on his more than 10,000 people to hold back the 200,000 male soldiers of the king of Altan, which is too much to overestimate his own IQ and underestimate the strength of others.
Thinking of this, he was a little annoyed in his heart, the plan he came up with to sneak into the desert alone to spy on intelligence was the most reliable, but unfortunately it was vetoed by the imperial court.
It's a bit funny to veto it, and then let him come and spy on intelligence in the name of negotiations, where do they go to spy on intelligence under the surveillance of Tatar cavalry all the time?
Of course, he also has channels to find out some information, such as through the Salt Gang, but this is far from enough, although the Salt Gang's forces are all over the outside of Cyprus, they can't find out the top core secrets.
Zhuo Maolin is capable, but he is not omnipotent, after all, he is just a businessman, and if he wants to rely on him to enjoy his success, it is an insult to King Alta.
Zhang Juzheng's letter gave him a bit of a headache. He is now under the noses of others, and he has no right to move freely at all, even if he wants to go anywhere, he is still hugging from front to back, and it is difficult to be quiet alone.
He touched the three bags that the emperor gave him on his chest, and several times wanted to quietly open them to see what was inside, but he still held back.
When the emperor issued a secret order, he said it first, and he could not open it until the moment of life and death, otherwise he would be killed.
This can't frighten him, now that he is outside the city, not in the capital, he can deal with it privately. The problem is that even if he opens the bag, no matter what is inside, it will definitely not guide him on how to spy on intelligence.
The next day, after the news of the continued closure of the camp spread, the people guarding outside suddenly exploded, and many people came to the suspension bridge and shouted loudly, asking the reason, and the guards had to tell the truth: the adult is sick, and now he needs to recuperate, and he cannot continue the auction for the time being.
Subsequently, some gossip spread, saying that His Highness Qincha was so frightened that he couldn't afford to be sick because of the sudden arrival of the army of Warat and Uliangha, and he took medicine in bed every day to recuperate. If the condition does not improve in the short term, it is also possible to return home and go to the mainland to recuperate with peace of mind.
Of course, this news was sent out quietly by a few henchmen, in order to put pressure on the people of Warat and Uliangha.
When Umun, the commander of Warat, heard the news, he angrily kicked a gold-painted dwarf, and scolded him for being shameless, playing tricks, and being shameless.
Wumeng knew in his heart that besides, he was 100% pretending to be sick, and what kind of medicine to recuperate was all fake, and it was for him and Diemur Hua.
Besides, of course he saw the medicine, but what he saw more clearly was that he was not sick at all, and he was healthier than him. Although he is not a doctor, it does not mean that he cannot see whether a person is healthy or not.
"This is forcing us to take out benefits, if we don't give it, we will leave, amazing, amazing." Diemur Flower was not angry, but looked terrified and helpless.
Of course, they all understand that this is a plot to do so, either to bleed once or to wait for a diplomatic dispute. Besides, if he led the mission back, the anger of the king of Altan would be vented against the two tribes, and a full-scale civil war would probably ensue, which none of the three tribes wanted.
They regretted a little, regretted that they should not have come to such a battle in the first place, and wanted to suppress Hassan's 6,000 Tatar cavalry at once, and bluff the 10,000 guards who had been in trouble.
However, under the pressure of the soldiers, the situation was unpredictable, and the original beautiful idea collapsed in an instant, and it was completely lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.
"What should I do?" Umeng said with anger on his face.
"What else can I do? Of course, you have to bow your head, give him a heavy gift, and spend money to avoid disasters. Diemur smiled bitterly.
"That's how we admit it? I am not willing to die. Umeng clenched his fists and said.
"What if you are unwilling? The situation is out of our control. ”
"Just don't do anything, go to the camp at night, and arrest that little Qincha, as long as he holds him in his hand, can he still turn the sky upside down?" Umeng said viciously.
"Camp robbery? Let's score 10,000 people to deal with Hassan, and only 10,000 people to attack the Han camp? There were 10,000 people, not to mention how many people had to be killed and wounded across that trench. Dude, you can't do it, you're too impulsive. Diemur sneered.
"Isn't it just a trench of twenty feet? Didn't we even conquer the steep Great Wall? That trench can still hold us back? Umeng disagreed.
"In that case, I'll stop Hassan's men, and you will rob the camp." Diemur said with a smile.
"You ......" Umeng immediately woke up, this may really not work, otherwise Diemur Flower would not take the initiative to ask for a hard confrontation with Hassan's people, obviously in the eyes of Diemur Hua, besides, 10,000 guards are more difficult to deal with than Hassan's 6,000 elite soldiers.
"Dude, calm down, let's not talk about whether the robbery camp can be successful, even if you succeed, catch that Qincha, and then what should I do? That's a hot potato. King Alta may be glad that we have done this, and this has indeed cleared the way for him. However, we still have to hand over this mission to the court in the mainland or to the king of Alta, if you think about the result, who will bear the responsibility for the failure of the negotiation? ”
"Well, that's what happened." After Wumeng's anger subsided a little, he also understood.
"Why are all the people who are swarming this time planted in the hands of this Qincha? Isn't it that the people of the king of Altan colluded with a swarm of these rogues, hoping to use their hands to kill the 10,000 guards of this Qincha, and then clean him up. Diemur said.
"A swarm of bees is really a rabble, and a single look at the face will give birth to others." Umeng said disdainfully.
"It's really not comparable, but are you sure you can win? Besides, if we win, what benefits can fall on us? Diemur sneered.
has the ability to climb to the status of a strong clan captain, he is definitely not a simple-minded person, and what Wumeng said just now was also angry and angry nonsense under impulse.
At this time, I calmed down, and I also had some aftertaste. This is not a purely military issue, but a diplomatic issue involving several aspects, which these generals cannot solve at all, and can only be handed over to the person who is the king to adjudicate.
"Bah, he's too shameless, isn't he?" When the third lady heard the news, she couldn't wait to go over and pull him out and beat him up.
She's just seen it, and besides, where does this little bastard look like a patient? Look at that sasser, more energetic than anyone else.
"He's blackmailing them, but it's a little ugly. But it's quite interesting, we might as well watch it as a play. The previous saint covered her mouth and smiled, feeling that it was a little bit of a child's play.
"If you want benefits, then open up, why pretend to be sick and make excuses?" The third lady has an upright personality and looks down on these small means.
"It shouldn't be more than just good, this little Qincha should have other purposes, his heart is big." The saint thought for a moment.
She would rather overestimate it now, because this kid is indeed scheming, and on the surface it is for this purpose, who knows what else he has in his heart.
Of course, she could not imagine that she wanted to delay the negotiations, because the day of the autumn offensive was getting closer and closer, and from the perspective of the inland court, the negotiations should start as soon as possible, and at least a result should be negotiated before the autumn offensive, so as to facilitate the conclusion of a peace treaty.
