Chapter 31: Bargaining (I)

The words were so loud that Chen Ji, Feng Guoyong and Zhang Yi were all moved.

As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and he can raise a strong resistance team behind Tuhuan Timur, which is beneficial but harmless to the current Huai'an army, and Yeluzhao also keeps claiming to be Han, so that everyone instinctively has a lot of closeness in their hearts.

However, Zhu Chongjiu was not moved by the other party's words at all, picked up the tea bowl and took a few sips, then gestured downward, and ordered with a smile: "Yelu shopkeeper, please get up, Yelu shopkeeper is ambitious, Zhu is so admirable, but Yelu shopkeeper first came to talk to Zhu about business, and when he talked, he talked about borrowing generals from Zhu to train soldiers, this turn is too big, Zhu needs to think carefully before making a decision." ”

"The chief steward can't trust me, Yelu." Yelu Zhao was in a hurry, stood up, and asked with red eyes, "As long as the chief manager is willing to help him, my Yelu clan will remember the great manager Hong En for generations and will never dare to forget." ”

"It's too far, Zhu doesn't want to hear it anymore." In the expectant eyes of the three senior counselors, Zhu Chongjiu smiled and continued to bow his head to drink tea.

It's not that he is calmer than Chen Ji, Zhang Yi and Feng Guoyong, but in his previous life, he heard too many bold words, what carried the coffin into battle, what died and then died, what dedicated his youth and his life, and dedicated his life to his children and grandchildren, but in the end, other people's children should be laid off, and they should be unemployed, and their own children have an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars in politics and business, and hundreds of millions of family assets have been accumulated out of thin air in just a few years.

"Then continue to talk about business, how can General Manager Zhu be willing to send people to help train the troops, even if he offers a price." Yeluzhao was once again forced to have nothing to do, gritted his teeth, and returned to the point.

Zhu Chongjiu smiled indifferently and said very frankly, "That's not in a hurry, you tell Zhu first, who is your father-in-law, and then Zhu can decide how to continue to talk to you." ”

'Ah, I'm ashamed, I was almost deceived by this guy again,' Hearing Zhu Chongjiu's words, Chen Ji, Zhang Yi and Feng Guoyong instantly sobered up and glared angrily at Yeluzhao.

At first, this guy kept saying that he would contact his master, and then quietly transferred to the history of blood and tears of the Daliao royal family, and finally negotiated the business to let the Huai'an army unilaterally lend troops to the Yelu family.

"This, this" Ye Luzhao knew that he had been easily dissolved by someone again, so he looked around in a wry manner, and whispered, "It's a big deal, please take a back seat for the time being." ”

"They are all my confidants, and there is no need to avoid them." Zhu Chongjiu frowned, very dissatisfied with the other party's pretense.

Yeluzhao, the big shopkeeper of Jiaozhou Commercial Bank, had no choice but to take a few steps forward and confide in a few inaudible amplitudes, "Genghis Khan was kind to my ancestors, so my Yelu family has been serving the descendants of Wo Kotai Khan over the years, and the current lord is the sixth grandson of Emperor Taizong of the Great Yuan, the blood of the orthodox golden family, and the ancestor of Timur was a traitor Meng Ge, seeking to usurp the throne and forcing his sister-in-law with his uncle"

"Be louder and try to talk as little nonsense as possible." Zhu Chongjiu's knowledge of history was not ordinarily poor, and he was upset and irritable when he heard it, and he scolded him unhappily.

"Hmm" Yelu Zhao's face turned black when he was reprimanded, but thinking of the benefits that the Yelu family could get after the two sides joined forces, he had to hold back his anger and continue to explain in a low voice, "My lord is the sixth grandson of Ogedai Khan, King Lu Aluhui Timur, when Genghis Khan integrated the Mongolian tribes and established Wokotai as Khan, after Wogedai Khan, the successor was Guiyou, but Guiyou Khan was in the army, and was poisoned by Meng Ge, the son of Torrey, since then, the throne has been usurped by the Meng Ge brothers, and the golden family has been fratricidal, and the government is turbulent, People are displaced"

"This is an internal matter of the Golden Family, what does it have to do with your Yelu Clan." Chen Ji, who joined the army, also sobered up, and ridiculed with a bit of revenge.

"Lord Chen still doesn't know." Yeluzhao sighed helplessly, and continued to explain carefully, "My ancestors were able to rebuild the Liao State, thanks to the strong support of Temujin Khan, and the ancestors in order to repay the favor, they also wholeheartedly assisted Wokotai Khan, and made immortal contributions to the destruction of gold for Mongolia.

"He is talking about Yelu Chucai, the king of Guangning, who was called Wenzheng after his death, and the law of Mengyuan is mostly from his hands, and the old legend says that this person died of grief because of his disagreement with the mother of Guiyou Khan, Trege, and he did not expect to be killed by Meng Ge, the son of Tuolei." Knowing that Zhu Chongjiu might not understand, Feng Guoyong explained to him very carefully (Note 1)

"Exactly." Yelu Zhao took over the conversation with red eyes and hatred, "After the puppet emperor Kublai Khan ascended the throne, in order to buy people's hearts, he pursued Wen Zhenggong vigorously, however, for the descendants of Wen Zhenggong and my Yelu clan's Liao State, he killed if he wanted to, cut it if he wanted, and refused to be soft at all. ”

"Then are you borrowing troops from the head of my family for your Yelu clan, or are you borrowing troops from the head of my family for Aluhui Timur." The more Zhang Yi listened, the calmer he became, frowning, and asked in a low voice.

"Both." Now, Yelu Zhao has nothing to hide, he doesn't want to think about it, so he dragged out the hole cards and plates on his side, "His Royal Highness Aluhui Timur, with the lord of King Lu sitting in Lingbei, the king of Qi, the king of Guangning and other clans outside the Saiwai are all under its constraints, and the children of my Yelu family control Kaiyuan, Ningchang, Liaoyang 30,000 households, as long as the timing is right, His Royal Highness Aluhui Timur will erect a banner of rebellion in Lingbei, hang the people and cut down the crime, and my Yelu clan will raise a three-way army to respond, overnight, you can make the puppet emperor Tuhuan Timur lose all the land outside the block, and from then on, it was no longer possible to draw a single soldier from the north. ”

The temptation of 'hiss,,,' was really huge, which made Chen Ji, Zhang Yi and Feng Guoyong quietly gasp in their hearts.

Since the uprising of the Red Turban Army, the soldiers and horses of the Mengyuan court have been wiped out one after another, but the Mengyuan court has been able to continuously mobilize elite soldiers from outside the Saiwai, and the bloody battles with the Red Turban Army have continued.

If it was really as Yelu Zhao envisioned, King Lu and Yelu joined forces to rebel in the north, even if it could not make Tuhuan Timur anxious, at least it would make him unable to get effective troops from outside the fortress in the next few years, and invisibly, it would win a rare opportunity for the Huai'an army to recuperate.

Thinking of this, the eyes of the three of them became a little hot, and they quietly gave Zhu Chongjiu a look, signaling that their lord might as well agree to the deal.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Chongjiu suddenly became extremely philistine, smiled, shook his head and said: "It does sound good, but Zhu Mou helped you, what is the benefit to yourself, who knows if you have learned Zhu's training methods, will you gain an inch in the future, and raise troops to kill directly in the Central Plains." ”

"No, you can swear by the heavenly spirits of the ancestors of the Yelu clan." Yelu Zhao didn't expect Zhu Chongjiu to be so difficult, raised his right hand, and added loudly, "I, Yelu clan, only take a corner of Liaodong, and I must not inch in, if King Lu betrays his faith in the future, my Yelu clan will stand by and watch, and the two will not help each other." ”

"Look, you still can't be the lord of King Lu, and Liaodong is also the old land of China, what qualifications does Zhu have to give it to your Yelu family." Zhu Chongjiu yawned tiredly, waved his hand and said.

"Without the help of my Yelu clan, King Lu will definitely be unable to support himself." Yelu Zhao responded quickly, and then, after thinking about it, he added very unwillingly, "The chief administrator can be called the emperor, and I, Yelu clan, am willing to pay tribute to the chief administrator as I did when I called Temujin Khan, and I will always be a vassal for generations." ”

"And then wait for the opportunity to rebel."

"At that time, the chief manager already owns the entire Central Plains, and his strength is a hundred times that of my Yelu clan, how dare he dare to kill himself no matter how bold he is."

"At that time, the territory of the Great Liao was a hundred times that of the Jurchens, and the territory of the Jurchens was not only a hundred times that of the Mongols." Zhu Chongjiu smiled again and reminded very unceremoniously.

"This" Yeluzhao was speechless when he was refuted.

Jurchen and Mongolia, originally just a tribe, all the force combined, just a few dozen bows, a few collar leather armor, but they can destroy the suzerain, and then sweep the Central Plains, there are these two precedents, who dares to believe that the Yelu family will always promise to lie dormant in Liaodong.

Knowing that no matter what he said, he couldn't ask Zhu Chongjiu to help, so he simply turned his heart sideways and once again loudly mentioned the construction he said before, "Since the chief manager doesn't believe in it, ask the chief manager to put forward conditions, and if you can agree to it, you can agree directly." ”

"That's right." Zhu Chongjiu picked his thumb and praised with a smile, "They all said that they were doing business with Zhu, but they always used those vain things to deal with Zhu, when Zhu was a three-year-old child, you listened, Zhu's condition is that he is dead, and it's very simple to talk about it in detail."

Putting down the teacup with a smile, Zhu Chongjiu slowly and methodically prescribed the conditions, "First, Zhu can only lend a maximum of 100 people, help Er wait for half a year to train soldiers, how many people will be when you go, how many people will be when you come back, if you lack one, you will pay back with 100 Khitan warriors, are you willing to agree." ”

"Okay." Yeluzhao didn't have much choice at all, gritted his teeth, and nodded vigorously.

"Second, the brothers sent by Zhu, each of whom is paid twenty first-class horses, you use a boat to send the war horse to Zhu to Huai'an, Zhu will naturally let the brother go back with you, pay the bill first, and then hand over the person, we are not bullied, are you willing to agree,."

"No questions." All parts of Liaodong have always been rich in horses, so this condition is far simpler than the previous one, and Yeluzhao doesn't need to consider it at all.

"Third, and the last, Zhu wants you to take the route from Jiaozhou to Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom, you send someone to lead the fleet of my Huaiyang firm to take a complete sea route, and then send Zhu back with a complete boat with people, Zhu will believe in your sincerity, otherwise, Zhu would rather be scattered in two."

Note 1: Yelu Chu is a master of his generation, and most of the legal systems in the early days of the Mongol state were written by him, and in the official history, it is recorded that he died of grief, and in the wild history, it is believed that he was killed by Kublai Khan.
