(Recommended reading: "Great Khan, the minister got a message from Bahat of the Uziyat Department that the new governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty has received the holy decree of the Ming Emperor and is ready to let go of the mutual market with us."

Suddenly, a middle-aged Mongolian nobleman walked in and reported in a deep voice to Lin Dan Khan, who was Lin Dan Khan's uncle Tie Shan, Lin Dan Khan's most trusted person.

"Liberalize the mutual market?" Lin Danhan couldn't help but put down the book in his hand when he heard this, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he didn't know what this meant.

"According to Bahat, the new governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty has made it clear to the Ming Emperor and is ready to trade goods with us at market prices, including ironware, salt, and tea."

Tie Shan's face was filled with excitement, "According to the edict of Emperor Ming, there are a total of five Mongolian tribes that can participate in such an exchange, including our Chahar tribe and the Khalkha tribe of Bahat, and the remaining three tribes are decided by the Great Khan." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Hearing this, Lin Danhan's eyes suddenly lit up.

He has always been troubled by the unification of southern Mongolia, and this mutual market undoubtedly gave him a golden opportunity, not only to obtain benefits through the market price mutual market, but also to make other tribes submit, after all, he holds the power of the three tribes to participate in the mutual market.

"Is this matter safe, isn't it a trap set by Da Ming, the purpose of which is to let us help them deal with the Jurchens?"

Subsequently, Lin Dan Khan's brows furrowed slightly, and a vigilant look appeared on his face, he could see a lot of this kind of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, it was very likely that it was an expedient measure of the Ming Dynasty, after all, the Ming Dynasty was now newly defeated in Liaodong, and it was the time when the power was weak.

"Great Khan, the minister doesn't think it's a trap, the Ming army is now being chased and beaten by the Jurchens in Liaodong, they definitely don't want us to take the opportunity to attack them, so they put forward such lucrative conditions."

Hearing this, Tie Shan groaned for a while, shook his head at Lin Dan Khan, and then said with a smile, "Chen thinks this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we can monopolize the items on the mutual market, so as soon as the mutual market opens, the silver will come like flowing water."

”

"Monopoly?" Lin Dan Khan's brows furrowed, and then he looked at Tie Shan, wanting to see what he was paying attention to.

"Great Khan, this is very simple, let's buy their goods from other tribes at a low price, and then sell them to Da Ming at a market price, then the difference in price is ours."

When Tie Shan heard this, he immediately explained with a flutter of eyebrows, the so-called teaching people to fish is not as good as teaching people to fish, which is far stronger than the Ming Dynasty giving them a sum of silver every year.

"That's a good idea." Lin Dan Khan couldn't help but nod when he heard this, as long as he controlled the economy of Monan Mongolia, then he was not afraid that those tribes would not submit to him.

"Why was the Khalkha Ministry able to gain the power to exchange markets with the Ming Dynasty without the consent of Ben Khan?" Subsequently, Lin Dan Khan realized a problem, and couldn't help but ask Tie Shan with some dissatisfaction, which should obviously be decided by him, the Great Khan.

"Listening to what Bahat said, it was because they helped the envoy who came from the Ming Dynasty, so the envoy gave them one of the places." Hearing this, Tie Shan opened his mouth to explain, and then said with a smile, "It seems that the Khalkha Ministry has taken a big advantage this time. ”

"Things won't be that simple, they must have bought the messengers of the Ming Dynasty." Lin Dan Khan shook his head and commanded in a deep voice, "You have people go and check and see what happened between them and the Great Ming Envoy." ”

"Don't worry, the Great Khan, the minister will do it." Tie Shan nodded, then remembered something, and couldn't help asking, "Great Khan, when will you meet the envoys of the Great Ming, they have been here for several days." ”

"Dry them for two more days, now they are begging us to do something, what are we in a hurry, Ben Khan wants to wear off their sharpness!" Lin Dan Khan groaned for a moment when he heard this, then picked up the book in his hand and read it, he wanted to make the Ming envoys impatient, and then he would have the upper hand when negotiating.

"Great Khan, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty are preparing to leave tomorrow, and now his men are preparing the food they brought on the road, and it looks like they are going to go far away." At this moment, a subordinate walked in and knelt on the ground to report to Lin Dan Khan.

"The Ming envoy is leaving!" Hearing this, Tie Shan was suddenly slightly stunned, and was surprised by this news, didn't the Ming envoy want to cooperate with them?

"Where are they going?" Lin Danhan was also surprised, and asked quietly after putting down the book in his hand.

"It looks like I'm going to the west." The subordinate replied after thinking about it.

"Westside?" Tie Shan was stunned at first when he heard this, and then thought of something, and couldn't help but look at Lin Dan Khan worriedly, "The Ming envoy won't go to the right-wing departments, right?" ”

"Right-wing tribes?" Lin Dan Khan's brows suddenly furrowed, this is definitely not good news, since he converted to the Red Sect, the relationship with the right-wing Mongolian tribes in Monan has become more and more estranged, if the right-wing Mongolian tribes are supported by the imperial court, then it is obviously not good for him.

"Great Khan, you can't let them go to the right wing, those people on the right wing have a very tense relationship with us now, if they let them grow their power, it will not be good for us." Tie Shan didn't expect Li Hongyu to come to this move, and hurriedly persuaded Lin Dan Khan that he could not let the right-wing tribes of Monan Mongolia get benefits from the Ming Dynasty, so that Lin Dan Khan's rear would be unstable.

"Tell the Ming envoy, just say that Ben Khan is recovering from his condition, and let him enter the palace tomorrow for an audience." Lin Dan Khan naturally knew this, and after a deep groan, he ordered the subordinate who came to report.

He forgot one thing just now, that is, there are many Monan tribes available for the Ming Dynasty to choose from, although the Chahar Department is powerful, but it is not very attractive to the Ming envoys, and he prefers the kind of Mongolian tribes that are friendly to the Ming Dynasty, so he chooses a wide range of others.

Therefore, when the battle situation in Liaodong was unfavorable to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming envoy would definitely not hang himself on a tree and would definitely look for the cooperation of other Mongolian tribes.

Lin Danhan couldn't let Li Hongyu leave like this, so he was ready to see Li Hongyu, and he still had to put forward some conditions to Li Hongyu, so as to get the benefits from Daming as much as possible.

"My lord, someone came to the palace just now, saying that Lin Danhan's condition has improved, and he will see your lord tomorrow."

In the evening, Li Hongyu was drinking and laughing with Bahat in the room, Man Gui walked in excitedly, arched his hands and said to Li Hongyu with a smile, "My lord is clever, my subordinates really admire it!" ”

"It's not that the official is clever, it's that Lin Dan Khan needs to exchange markets with Daming, so how could he let go of such a good opportunity.

Li Hongyu motioned for Man Gui to sit down at the wine table, and then said with a smile, "Once this official chooses to exchange markets with other tribes, then Lin Dan Khan will lose a lot, so he will definitely see this official before this official leaves." ”

"The Great Khan is too, now that the situation in Liaodong is changing rapidly, he still wants to pinch you, it really shouldn't be." Bahat shook his head when he heard this, and did not approve of Lin Dan Khan's approach.

"No matter what, it's a good thing that Lin Dan Khan is willing to see this official, the battle situation in Liaodong is critical, and this official will rush back to resume his life after solving the matter here."

Li Hongyu smiled, looking disappreciative, he had already made a huge gain from coming to the grassland this time, that is, he had established close ties with the Inner Khalkha Department, so this trip was not in vain, there were many Mongol tribes in southern Mongolia that he could choose from, and he did not necessarily have to choose Lin Dan Khan.

Although Lin Dan Khan is the Great Khan of Mongolia, his strength is only the leader of the major tribes in the Mongolian tribes, but he has the orthodox title of the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, and it is this title that Li Hongyu values.

Historically, the Chahar tribe was known as the central ten thousand households of Mongolia, and was the direct tribe of the Great Khan of Mongolia in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and its lords of the Etok have always been inherited by the descendants of the "Golden Family" Dayan Khan, which can be described as the most noble tribe among the Mongolian tribes.

But then again, the leaders of the Monan Mongol tribes are all from the Golden Family, as long as the Ming Dynasty wants to support whom, then whoever can expand their power and become the leader of the Monan Mongol tribes.

Therefore, Li Hongyu wanted Lin Dan Khan to understand that the advantage of negotiation was actually on the side of the Ming Dynasty, and he, the Great Khan of Mongolia, was really a little unworthy of the name, otherwise he would not continue to go west to find the right-wing tribes of the Mongols in southern Mongols.

The next morning, Li Hongyu was led into the palace of Lin Dan Khan, and saw Lin Dan Khan sitting on a chair in a house, and couldn't help but look up and down at the last Great Khan of the Mongol Empire in history.

Lin Danhan was also observing Li Hongyu, and couldn't help but be surprised to see that Li Hongyu was so young, he thought that the envoy sent by the Ming Dynasty had to be an old and serious middle-aged man.

However, this also explains why the Ming envoy wanted to leave Chahanhot and go to the west, after all, the young man was young and impatient.

"Great Khan, this official was sent by the governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty to come to talk with the Great Khan about forming an alliance and attacking Jiannu together, and my Emperor Ming has approved this matter." After seeing Lin Dan Khan, Li Hongyu bowed his hand to him and quietly explained his intentions.

"The slave soldiers of Jianzhou often harassed the Mongol tribes in our east, so Ben Khan always hated them and wanted to eradicate them."

Lin Danhan groaned for a moment when he heard this, looked at Li Hongyu and said slowly, "However, the matter is in charge, this battle will cost a lot of money, and I am afraid it will be difficult to do it without permission!" ”

The corners of Li Hongyu's mouth suddenly flashed with an imperceptible sneer, Lin Danhan said that he had a grudge against Houjin and wanted to destroy Houjin, and later said that it was difficult to raise enough military funds for the war, and it was clear that he was asking for benefits.

"Don't worry about the Great Khan, my Emperor Ming understands the difficulties of the Great Khan, so he is ready to open the border market to trade with the Great Khan."

Subsequently, Li Hongyu told Lin Danhan in a serious manner about trading at the market price.

"That's very good." Lin Dan Khan had already learned about this, so he naturally wouldn't be surprised, and looked at Li Hongyu after bowing his head slightly, and said, "However, our ministry is now underfunded, and it is impossible to support the military needs of this dispatch, and I hope that the envoy can work hard to deal with it." ”

"Great Khan, in order to show his sincerity, the governor asked the official to bring four thousand taels of silver, hoping that it would be enough for the Great Khan to send troops."

Li Hongyu shook his head a little helplessly in his heart, and then said quietly, he had long known that Lin Dan Khan would not be able to settle so easily, so he had already prepared to bring four thousand taels of silver here.

In fact, Lin Dan Khan's troops are the same as Nurhachi's Eight Banner Soldiers, they are all soldiers for soldiers, serving the people in their spare time, and bringing their own dry food and weapons when they go out to fight, which is the same as the original intention of Emperor Hongwu to create a guard, so there is no need for military spending at this time, and the Ming army will definitely provide them with supplies after arriving in Liaodong.

Besides, Lin Dan Khan sent the people from the Inner Khalkha Department closest to Liaodong to fight in Liaodong, and he would not give the money he collected to the people of the Inner Khalkha Department.

Because the situation in Liaodong was too urgent, Li Hongyu didn't want to entangle with Lin Danhan over money, so he made preparations in advance, otherwise how could he easily let Lin Danhan's wishful thinking succeed?
