Although Hua Dang saw Xie Hong for the first time, he still knew a lot about Xie Hong, at least his positioning of Xie Hong was very accurate, that is, this Hou Ye was different from ordinary Ming court officials, as long as he looked at the fate of the Jianzhou people, he knew that this person was not a sheep, but a wolf. [Full text reading]

Such a person suddenly offered to help his tribe, just as the little prince suddenly ran to say that he wanted to build a harmonious home with Uliangha, which is why Huadang was confused.

And when Xie Hong put forward the principle that if there is a right, there is an obligation, Hua Dang breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, he doesn't understand the terms rights and obligations, not to mention that his Chinese is only rough and superficial, even if he is a military general in Liaozhen, he may not understand the meaning of this new word. However, the meaning of this is very simple, and it is clear that the benefits can be given, but there are conditions.

The good thing is the relief that makes him excited, that is, the food and the hope for next year, the key is what the conditions are, as long as it is not too excessive, Hua Dang intends to agree to it.

According to the practice of the Ming court, the conditions that would be put forward during the general negotiation were easy to deal with.

The most frequent condition is to guarantee that there will be no invasion, almost every time they negotiate with the Ming court, the grassland people will agree to such a condition, of course, they keep their promises less often, and break the contract more often, so this condition is really a little insignificant, even those civil officials are gradually reluctant to mention it, and they will not take it seriously.

There are also a lot of weights, such as sending envoys to pay tribute to the court is one of them, the ministers of the Ming court like this way the most, and feel that it is not only face, but also political achievements, and is the best means to show the prestige of the Celestial Empire.

In fact, the grassland people also like this method, send some people to the capital for a turn, take some worthless things on the grassland and give them away, there will be ten times and a hundred times the reward, which is higher than the profit of doing business, who doesn't like it?

It's just that the Ming people are not stupid, and they don't welcome the grassland tribes who return and immediately turn their faces and deny their accounts, for example: the Tatar and Warat tribes who have been in the army for many years can't enjoy this treatment, but Duoyan Sanwei is qualified, at least they don't start a war with Liaozhen every year, but only occasionally make a move.

In addition, there is a more weighty way, which is to send hostages, and relatives or something, but this is a legend passed down from generation to generation on the grassland, and it is said that only in the Han and Tang dynasties, there are such examples. It's nothing to send hostages, and it's a great good thing to be kind, but Hua Dang doesn't think that this kind of good thing will fall on his head, but ...... What if it's the other way around? Hua Dang's eyebrows trembled, and she glanced at her daughter, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense.

In the end, thinking about Huadang, the most suitable for the surname of this marquis, and the most far-reaching condition, is to form an alliance, and the two sides form an alliance to jointly attack the Tatar department. Compared with the previous vanity, with the current situation and the style of the Ming Dynasty emperor, this is the most likely condition to be proposed.

However, if the other party really brings it up, how should you deal with it? Hua Dang was a little worried.

In fact, the Uliangha Sanwei and the Tatars were already in a state of war, and the large tribes attacked the small tribes, and the small tribes tried their best to resist or reluctantly submit, which was the norm on the steppe.

If it was a different negotiation opponent, Hua Dang would definitely come down without hesitation, because this is the truth, unless he bowed his head to Boyan Mengke and promised to merge into the Tatar Ministry, there would be no possibility of peace between the two sides.

But in the face of Xie Hong, he didn't have the confidence. Although Uliangha and the Tatar Ministry are a little dirty, after all, it is not a complete face, nor is it a full-scale war, of course it is no problem to fool the civilian officials, but if you want to fool this marquis, the risk is too great, and it is really impossible to do it.

can think of really turning his face with the Tatars, Hua Dang has no confidence, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, and the other party does not need the main force to pour in, only 30,000 elite soldiers of the king's tent are enough to completely defeat Uliangha.

Therefore, although Xie Hong has not yet put forward the conditions, Hua Dang still realizes that what is in front of him is likely to be another dilemma, which makes him want to cry.

“…… Since he is a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, he should obey the dispatch of the imperial court, and Benhou is the manager of Wuliang Ha Sanwei, so ...... "Hua Beware has a thousand thoughts in his heart, it is just a matter of a moment, don't look at him thinking so much, but in fact, Xie Hong's sentence has not been finished."

Hearing this, Hua Jing chuckled in his heart, almost mentioning his throat, he was really afraid of something, even if he had made up his mind to give in, but, thinking of the gloomy future, he still couldn't help but want to raise objections.

Of course, it's just to think about it, even if it's repeated, it's not a matter of now, you know, Chief Hua's legs are still weak.

"According to the example of the Yongle period, Ben Hou thinks so......"

The keyword he was most afraid of didn't appear, but Xie Hong's words still made Hua stunned, of course he knew about Yongle, could it be that this Hou Ye was going to borrow soldiers?

His heart relaxed slightly, he didn't expect this condition at all in advance, because he didn't think that Xie Hong had the need to borrow troops, the border army in Liaozhen was not much worse than that of Uliangha, especially after not having to do farm work, elite sergeants abounded, as long as he looked at those knife hands who could cut off the stake with one sword.

Besides, in addition to Duoyan Sanwei, there is no enemy of sufficient weight around Liaozhen, the Jianzhou people have been defeated, except for them, there is only North Korea, but in that poor and remote place, what is there to fight? What's more, the attitude of the North Koreans towards the Ming Dynasty is much more deferential than that of Uliangha, is it necessary to fight?

The only possible surname is to be transferred to Jizhen or Xuanfu to fight against the Tatars. In this case, the borrowed soldiers will not be able to come back, but for Hua Dang, it is much better than directly fighting the little prince, of course, this is when there are not too many borrowed soldiers.

"Little courage, dare to ask Hou Ye how much he intends to transfer troops?" Hua Dang's face finally had a little other expression, in addition to deference and fear, there was also prayer and expectation.

"Since it is an example of Yongle, the number is naturally the same, three thousand, how about the same knowledge?" Xie Hong stretched out three fingers and said with a smile.

"Three thousand!" Hua Dang's heart was determined, if he knew this condition when he received Xie Hongxin, he might be furious, but now, he felt relaxed, and a heart that had been hanging for a long time finally fell back into his stomach.

Although the Uliangha is not as powerful as the Tatar army, there are still many men in the clan, and if they can ride horses, they can pull out 100,000 cavalry, but the combat power cannot be guaranteed.

Therefore, the three thousand cavalry, even if they are drawn from the elite of the clan, are still within the tolerance range of Huadang, although there is no idea of fake, but seeing Xie Hong's kind and cordial attitude, he has the idea of asking clearly, and even bargaining within the scope of permission.

"Dare to ask Master Hou, do you have a standard for the cavalry you want? and the amount of relief food...... How to relate? Hua Dang asked cautiously.

Back then, the cavalry drawn by Chengzu Zhu Di were the most elite in the tribe, and the price paid was also very high, Daning Wei was what Zhu Di promised to Duoyan Sanwei at that time, but after the Jingjing, the Ming court repented again, and there was a scene of Duoyan Sanwei and Daming rebelling during the Xuande period.

Of course, Hua Dang didn't dare to ask Xie Hong for that kind of non-sharing, all he asked for was food for the winter. In addition, the elite level of the wheel cavalry, the current Duoyan Sanwei can't be compared with the Yongle period, of course he has to ask these two questions clearly, so as not to cause misunderstandings.

"Standard," Xie Hong groaned slightly, making Hua Dang's heart beat violently a few times, and then said indifferently: "As long as you are not old and weak, you can ride a horse, dare to kill people with a knife, and you can also shoot a bow and arrows." ”

Since Xie Hong appeared, Hua Dang's heart has been fluttering up and down, and these words naturally led him up and down, and after listening to it, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This condition is simply too simple, how can there be a shepherd who does not know how to ride a horse? Not to mention men, even women can gallop horses, the latter two conditions are considered to have a bit of height, but they are just to exclude the old and weak, how can men on the grassland dare not kill? Uliangha is not really a citizen of the Ming Dynasty.

"Benhou doesn't want your horses, and your men don't need to bring weapons, and when they get to the ground, they will have equipment to receive."

Xie Hong thought for a while, and added: "Well, by the way, in addition, the food for relief is calculated according to the capitation, and every soldier in Uliangha will be paid another share, which means a mercenary, specifically, probably like this, in addition to rations, a soldier can receive one stone of grain a month, and the grain will be sent directly to Uliangha, and the surname Benhou will pay you for two years at a time......"

The more Hua Dang listened, the more excited he became, and when he got to the back, he was a little fluttery, with three thousand mouths to eat, and then one person could exchange it for twelve stone of grain a year, twenty stone for two years, and more than 70,000 stone for three thousand people, although there were still shortcomings, but didn't Hou Ye finish talking yet?

"Since you are going to fight, it is inevitable that there will be casualties, and Ben Hou will also pay you a pension, how about ten stones for one person?"

"Good! Of course it's good. "Flowers' eyes are bright.

He longed that all these people would die in two years, so that more than 100,000 stone of grain would be in the account, and as for the men, as long as there was food, were you afraid that there would be no one in the tribe? Even if you don't have time to live, you can recruit from the steppe, and there are many scattered small tribes that have been defeated by the Tatars!

This kind of employment model is more cost-effective than robbing in Liao Town. You know, robbery also has a cost, and it will kill people, and now this way of getting through the current difficulties without taking risks is better.

"Master Hou, look, in addition to Duoyanwei, Wuliangha also has Taining and Fuyu two guards, do you also recruit some soldiers from them?" Delong Wangshu, Huadang is also a little more hopeful, thinking that Xie Hong will have more people, make this human trafficking bigger, and get a lot of food.

"Hua Tongzhi is loyal to the country, Ben Hou is really pleased." Human trafficker Xie Hong stroked his palm and smiled: "But this mercenary, for the time being, it's only three thousand, as for the future, if there is a vacancy, can it be replaced." As long as Hua Tongzhi has always maintained his sincerity, Wuliang Ha Sanwei will not starve. ”

"Yes, yes." Huadang also accepted it when he saw it, thought about it, and asked the last question: "Master Hou, can you ask the little ones, where are the sons and daughters going, and who are they fighting with?" ”
