The negotiations between countries made Chen Di and Altan Khan bargain with street aunts and vegetable sellers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Five million taels, that's the minimum I can bear!" Altan Khan said.
"Three million taels!" Chen Di gritted his teeth.
"Four million taels! No matter how low it is, even if I agree, the nobles of my headquarters will not agree! Altan Khan requoted.
"Three million taels!" Chen Di gritted his teeth.
"Three and a half million taels! The Ming country is rich in land and resources, and 500,000 taels should be taken care of? Altan Khan said.
"Three million taels!" Chen Di gritted his teeth.
Altan Khan was a little displeased and said, "Governor Chen, you have no sincerity in negotiating!" β
Chen Di replied to Altan Khan: "There is sincerity, what did the Great Khan just say that tens of thousands of cavalry traveled long distances and spent huge amounts of grain and grass?" As far as I know, your Tatars have always been supplied on the spot! To put it bluntly, on-the-spot supply is to grab where you go! It won't cost you a grain or a piece of grass at all! Also, how much of the property you plundered my people along the way? I'm afraid that those possessions are not less than three million taels, right? If the Great Khan really wants to fight to the death with our army in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, even if he returns to the grassland with this batch of goods in a tragic victory, this wealth will be snatched by the other three major families in Warat, Uliangha, and even in Waratγγγγγγ β
Altan Khan admired and said: "Governor Chen is not only good at fighting, but also eloquent!" β
Chen Di said: "The truth is there, you and I know it without mouth!" β
Altan Khan said, "Well, three million taels is three million taels." The last condition, you Ming Kingdom will be a vassal to my Tatars! β
Chen Di came directly: "Is it interesting?" β
Altan Khan looked at Chen Di suspiciously.
Chen Di said: "Great Khan, you are a member of the Mongolian Golden Family. You should know that at the beginning, the Mongolian tribes declared themselves vassals to the Jin State, and in the end, the Jin Kingdom was destroyed by the Mongolian courtier! Genghis Khan once called himself a vassal to the Tatars and the Mir beggars, and in the end the Tatars and the Mir beggars were destroyed by Genghis Khan, a courtier! Great Khan, I advise you, what is called a vassal or not is just a quick tongue, and it can only sow the seeds of hatred between the two countries! β
Altan Khan stretched out his thumb to Chen Di: "Chen Dadudu, a native of the Ming Kingdom, actually knows the past of my ancestors, admire!" Well, I'll listen to you! β
Chen Di patted Altan Khan's ass: "The Great Khan is wise!" β
Altan Khan said: "In this case, as long as the governor of Chen Dadu can fulfill the two conditions of opening the horse market and giving three million taels of silver to the Tatars, I will make peace with the Ming country!" What about two years for the duration of peace? In these two years, the Tatar Ministry will no longer harass the borders of the Ming Dynasty! Naturally, after two years, it's a different story! β
Chen Di smiled: "Okay! I agree, just for two years! I guess the Great Khan wanted to spend two years completely conquering the two tribes of Warat and Uliangha, and then clean up the enemies within the Tatar family. When the Mongolian steppe really falls into the hands of the Great Khan, the Great Khan will definitely raise troops to the south again! Great Khan is a good calculation, haha! β
Altan Khan laughed and said, "Governor Chen, I am not only defeated on the battlefield today, but also defeated in this tent!" You can read my mind everywhere, how can I not be defeated? β
Chen Di arched his hand and said: "Great Khan, rest assured, in the two years of peacetime, I, Chen Di, will not be idle!" I will build an iron army that will conquer the entire Mongolian steppe! At that time, let's abandon all worries, how about a big war? β
Altan Khan is a little fond of Chen Di, a young man! He held Chen Di's hand: "A word is a certainty!" β
Chen Di also said: "A word is a certainty! β
Altan Khan and Chen Di walked out of the tent and returned to their respective camps. Altan Khan retreated twenty miles with his army. Tomorrow, if Chen Di sends three million taels of silver to Altan Khan's tent, Altan Khan will lead his troops back north. If you can't send three million taels of silver, the two sides will meet again!
Chen Di also returned to the capital with the Flying Tiger Army and the Fur Plane mercenaries. As the saying goes, you can't do without the heart of defense. Chen Di specially arranged for the Flying Tiger Army to be stationed next to the Furlong Mercenaries. These Francois people all regard money as their lives, and Chen Di is afraid that they will covet the silver in the treasury!
After arranging everything, Chen Di entered the palace with two hundred Flying Tiger arms. There are still 300 guards in the palace, and God knows if there will be a story of the ten permanent servants beheading He Jin.
Since Chen Di led his troops out of Beijing, Emperor Jiajing and hundreds of officials gathered in Yongshou Palace to wait for news.
Chen Di entered the Yongshou Palace and bowed: "Chen Di, the minister, knocks to see the emperor!" β
Emperor Jiajing said: "Aiqing, please get up quickly!" At noon, news came that Aiqing led the army to win the first battle and killed nearly 5,000 Tatar cavalrymen, is it true? β
Chen Di said: "Your Majesty, a miserable victory is like defeat!" Although more than 5,000 Tatars were killed, our army also suffered 2,000 casualties! β
Chen Di exaggerated the number of Ming troops killed and wounded.
Although Chen Di and Altan Khan reached an agreement, Chen Di was never the emperor of the Ming Dynasty! To fulfill the agreement, or Emperor Jiajing still nods! This must scare and scare Emperor Jiajing.
Emperor Jiajing said: "Two thousand dead and wounded? Aiqing, but we still wonγγγγγ Right? β
Chen Di said: "Defeat, Emperor!" If the Tatar Department attacks desperately and exchanges two or three lives for one life of our Ming army, the capital will still not be protected! β
Emperor Jiajing said disappointedly: "Alas! How good is that? β
Chen Di said: "However, Altan Khan proposed a peace proposal!" β
"What? Peace? Emperor Jiajing's eyes lit up.
Xia Yan interjected: "Governor, don't you know that the ten peace conditions proposed by the Tatars are extremely harsh? I heard that you also cut off the hands and feet of the Tartar messenger for thisγγγγγ That one. β
Chen Di didn't pay attention to Xia Yan, but just said: "Your Majesty, Altan Khan said that as long as the Ming Dynasty compensates them for sending troops and salaries of three million taels, and opens up the border affairs, they can withdraw from the army!" β
Emperor Jiajing said: "Oh? What do Zhong Aiqing think? β
Emperor Jiajing pretended to be calm on the surface, but in fact, a stone fell to the ground in his heart, and then there was a burst of joy! Compensation of 3 million taels of military salaries and the opening of the border horse market, both of which he can accept! This is much better than the fall of the capital, the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and the fall of the Ming Dynasty, and he, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, becoming a prisoner of the Tartars, right?
Xia Yan said: "It is a rule set by Grandpa Tai to close the border pass horse market, and not to pay tribute to foreign clans is Grandpa Cheng's last instruction!" Chen Di, do you want to put the emperor on his backγγγγγγ β
Before Xia Yan finished speaking, Chen Di turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall!
Emperor Jiajing saw that Chen Di was leaving, and hurriedly asked, "Governor Dadu, where are you going?" β
Chen Di turned his head and said: "Since Xia Shoufu said that the two conditions are contrary to the ancestors' legacy, then this is not the same!" I took the Flying Tiger Army out of the city and went desperately with the Tatars! Your Majesty, it is estimated that the Flying Tiger Army will be wiped out in two hours! Rest assured, the minister will not be a slave to the country! Two hours later, the minister either died in battle or committed suicide! Grandpa Cheng has a testament! There is a clause in the testament, it seems to be 'the king dies in Sheji', and when the emperor also martyred the Ming Dynasty, the ministers will continue to be your courtiers in heaven! β
Emperor Jiajing's anxious face turned green: "Isn't it just silver?" I give! Also, send a decree to Taifu Temple! Open the border gate horse market! β
