Seeing that the other party didn't eat his set, Huang Taiji's face changed and said, "Where is my father Khan now, and how is it going?" ”

"He's doing well, we've arranged the best place for him to live and the best doctor to see him, so you don't have to worry." Pao Chongde said: "However, he was seriously injured, and coupled with the long-distance bumps, he had to recuperate for a year and a half to recover." ”

"When will you release my father Khan?" Huang Taiji finally asked the question that made him entangled.

"Put it back? How can it be! For decades, Altan Khan invaded the border passes, harassed the Central Plains, and committed heinous crimes against the people of the Ming Dynasty. Pao Chongde said lightly: "The imperial court has set him as the number one criminal, and everyone will be punished." ”

"If you dare to touch a single hair of my father's sweat", Huang Taiji said angrily: "I will definitely wash the Hetao Xuanda in blood and avenge my father!" ”

"Is it interesting for Taiji to say such things?" Pao Chongde didn't smile and said, "Do you think it's the time for you to give what you want?" If you want to mess around, then kill me, and then lead the army south, but see if you can beat Ma Wangye, or beat Qi Dashuai? ”

This is the key, Huang Taiji has suffered a big loss in front of these two, and he knows that against them, even his father Khan has no chance of winning, and he can only be beaten everywhere...... If you can't beat people on the battlefield, how can you be arrogant? "Are you here to mock me?" He stared at Pao Chongde hatefully and said, "Sending you to death is not your way to die. ”

"Of course this official is not here to send him to death", Bao Chongde said with a straight face: "I am here for Taiji." ”

"Me?" Huang Taiji squinted his eyes and said, "Don't think about any ghost idea, I won't be fooled." ”

"I'll just ask one thing", Pao Chongde said lightly: "Does Taiji want to be a tribal chieftain only, or like your father, become the king of all Mongolia?" ”

"It goes without saying." Huang Taiji said: "Men have no ambition, just as it is sad that women have no breasts. ”

"Haha, that's a good point." Pao Chongde clapped his hands and said, "That Taiji might as well imagine whether it is possible for you to realize your ambitions if the current development of events continues." ”

"............" Huang Taiji was silent. If you can't avenge your father or bring him back, you won't be able to win the allegiance of the tribes. Whether it is the headquarters army of Kuku and Tun, or those brothers, or the Qilagut and Wushen tribes...", they will not buy their own accounts. Even if you call yourself lonely in the future, you will only become a laughing stock, which is really sad. It is precisely because he sees this, but he is at a loss, that he will fall into anxiety, and shout and kill as soon as they meet.

"Once you are divided and fighting separately", seeing that he did not speak, Pao Chongde continued: "I can defeat each of them, and I believe that Ma Fang and Li Chengliang will be happy to carry out this kind of task. ”

"I'm confused." Huang Taiji then said: "Which side are you on?" ”

"I said that I came here for Taiji", Pao Chongde said lightly: "Of course I have to put myself in your shoes." ”

"............" Huang Taiji stared at him and said: "Don't go around in circles, you Han people are annoying, if you have a fart, let it go, and if you have something to say!" ”

"That's good", Feng Chongde smiled disapprerovingly: "I'll just say it, I'm here to show Jin Ji a clear way." ”

"What Minglu?" Huang Taiji narrowed his eyes and said.

"Please hold your back." Running Chongde mysteriously said.

"Hmm......,..." Huang Taiji let out a sullen breath and waved his hand to make the rest of the people withdraw.

"Can we talk now?" There was no one else in the tent, Huang Taiji said in a low voice.

"Yes......... Bao Chongde lowered his voice and said: "You might as well make a deal with Taiji, your father Khan will go to the capital to live in the capital for a few years, and if Hanmeng does not achieve peace for a day, he will not be able to come back for a day." As for whether he will come back after peace in the future, it depends on what Taiji means......", "What do you mean by that?" There was no one around, and Huang Taiji didn't pretend to talk to him, but just asked with an inquiring face.

"According to the humble opinion", Pao Chongde said in a low voice: "A living Altan Khan who is not in the steppe is actually the most beneficial to Taiji. Seeing that Huang Taiji was meditating, he explained: "I know that Mongolia's most important martial arts bloodline can only be ranked second, and Taiji wants to become a great khan like your father, and he must show your father's martial arts." But the world has changed over time, and the situation of your father back then was that the great revenge had not been avenged, and the Quartet had not decided that he would raise a long ge, attack the West Sea, and destroy the children in the Gobi: and after 20 years of fighting in the east and west, the Khan court was forced to move eastward, and only then did the great territory be laid, and then the various departments returned, and today's situation was established. The words changed and said: "But the situation that Taiji is facing now, it looks better than your father, but in fact it is 10,000 times more difficult, and now the Ming army is growing, and it can no longer be humiliated, and the grassland has been plagued for many years, and the people are not good at food and clothing: look around, but it is either your brother, or a force like Wuliangha that cannot be provoked, Taiji can be said to be in a dilemma, and he can't break the situation by force,"", all the words went up to his heart, Huang Taiji couldn't help but nod secretly, yes, the days are too difficult, even his father Khan can't hold back, so he has only asked the court for tribute several times, and his bravery and strategy are not half of his father Khan, how can he maintain it?

"As the saying goes, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and the willow is dark and bright and another village" Seeing that the fire was coming, Pao Chongde said unhurriedly: "Now there is a new road in front of Taiji, which can be described as a godsend."

"What new road?"

"Didn't you always want to pay tribute?" Pao Chongde said: "Now is the opportunity. My lord is a rare peacemaker, if you want, you can ask the court to crown Altan Khan as the king of Shunyi of the Ming Dynasty, but you need to submit to the table first............" raised his hand, blocking Huang Taiji's words, he continued: "I know this is not decent, but now everything is in your father's sweat, you are for filial piety, otherwise the court will put your father Khan to death, if your brothers do not agree, they are deliberately forcing your father Khan to die." After a pause, he said: "At least Ikhatun will support you, with the 50,000 army in her hands, as well as Kuku and Tun, how dare your brothers surrender?" ”

Huang Taiji's expression changed several times, and finally fixed on a gloomy face: "You want me to be the first Mongolian Khan to be blackmailed?" ”

"Everything comes at a price." Cannon Chongde took a sip of Ma **, and said unhurriedly, as long as the remuneration is generous enough, why bother with false fame? ”

"What do I get?" Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said, "I mean what the imperial court can give me!" "Your father Khan...... Oh no, since my father lives in Beijing, then the power of his tributary belongs to you. Pao Chongde said: "In addition, the imperial court will send you a letter of official uniform" appointing you as the only Tusi of the Tumut grassland, and you also have the right to pay tribute, and the annual reward is compared with your father Khan's example, which is generous enough, right? "............" Huang Taiji pondered for a long time and said: "The scale of the mutual market in the capital is too small, and I ask the imperial court to open the border and set up a permanent horse market." "As mentioned earlier, after the tribute, a mutual market will be opened in the capital hall, but after all, the distance is too far, and the scale of the transaction is limited" The millions of Mongolian tribes are simply a drop in the bucket. Therefore, the opening of the borders of the Ming Dynasty and allowing the Mongols to trade freely was the real solution to their livelihood difficulties.

"What ...... this", Cannon Chongde groaned.

"As long as the imperial court agrees to open a border market", Huang Taiji thought he was very embarrassed, and hurriedly added: "I can guarantee allegiance to the imperial court, not only to restrain the subordinates and never harass the Ming Dynasty, but also to lead the army to conquer the tribes that are not subordinate, and ensure that the Ming Dynasty will no longer worry about border troubles!" Seeing Huang Taiji's anxious roar, Pao Chongde smiled. Wang Chonggu really felt the pulse of the Mongols...... In fact, it has been 200 years since the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, although the Mongols still talk about fighting back to the Central Plains, but in fact, they have long lost the bravery and courage of their ancestors, and most of the Mongols, including the Mongolian nobles, only think about eating and waiting for death or drunk and dreaming of death. However, their economic structure is too simple, "materials are too scarce, and they must rely on the supply of materials from the Central Plains in order to live more comfortably"...... You can survive on your own, but it's too hard, and the current Mongols can't stand it. They want to wear cotton and silk clothes in the summer, "after eating meat, they want to drink tea to relieve their greasyness, and they don't want to eat half-raw meat boiled in leather bags......

Therefore, they needed the material input of the Ming Dynasty, which is why after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the two clans quickly reconciled and lived in peace for more than a hundred years. However, the cattle, sheep and horses provided by the Ming Dynasty to them were not necessary, "especially after the world was peaceful, and there was no need for so many good breeds of animal power, which made the dependence of the two sides on trade seriously unequal", and the original mutually beneficial trade was also used by the Ming Dynasty as a means to blackmail the other party, and threatened to close the mutual market at every turn.

When the appearance of British lords such as Dayan Khan and Altan Khan in Mongolia unified the scattered tribes, the threat to the Ming Dynasty naturally increased, and they found that doing business honestly would always be bullied by the profiteers of the Ming Dynasty, and it was more cost-effective to rob them. After several robberies, the two sides completely turned into enemies, and the mutual market was naturally closed, and what the Mongols wanted in the future could only rely on robbery.

But after more than a dozen years, they found that the proceeds of the robbery were withering and the price they paid was increasing...... Moreover, the frequent burning of grass and smashing nests by the border army of the Ming Dynasty caused great damage to the production and property of various tribes, making them realize that if they continued to rob, they could only make life more and more difficult, and they had to change their thinking.

That's why I replied that I would ask for tribute for 20 years, this is not his own whim, but the voice of the whole Mongolian clan, after all, for a few tea bricks, a few iron pots, you have to work hard for a few days, everyone has enough day. But their hot faces were pasted with a cold ass, and Emperor Sejong Jiajing and his ministers hated this, believing that the so-called tribute and mutual market was the same humiliating act as the Song Dynasty.

In fact, the border ministers and border generals of the Ming Dynasty have always been in favor of paying tribute, because the people on horseback come and go like the wind, and there are vast grasslands and deserts as mobility, even if they are prosperous with Hongwu Yongle, they cannot be eliminated, but make them more and more fierce and capable of fighting, and the greater the harm to the border passes. Wang Chonggu is an old border pass, naturally until it is powerful, in his opinion, the tribute market will not only not damage the dignity of the country, but also enable the imperial court to restrain the behavior of the Mongols at a very small cost, so that they can restrain their ferocity and gradually tame.

But he also knows that only under the premise of equal strength will there be long-term trade. And for the feudal tribute market, the biggest obstacle never came from the Mongols, but from Beijing, from the ministers who stood and spoke without backache.

Why are the officials of the Ming Dynasty so tough on Mongolia? Speaking of which, there are some historical references...... That is, each dynasty will always sum up the lessons of the previous dynasty's demise, and then enshrine it as an iron rule that is not easy for a hundred generations. For example, when the current dynasty summed up the late Song Dynasty, it believed that seeking peace and paying tribute was the root cause of the country's demise. Over time, a complex was formed among the scholars, that is, they could only wage war with the outside world and not compromise. No one wants to be accused of misleading the country.

However, if you don't teach Hu Ma to do Yin Mountain, although you are proud and happy, you will have to pay a heavy price! The Han Dynasty ruled with Wenjing, recuperating for several generations, and only then did the national war of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty occur. It was a real national war, and although it was a complete victory in the end, the Han Dynasty did not achieve any benefits, but was dragged down by the war, which brought down the finances, intensified the contradictions, and the state affairs prospered and declined...... Therefore, a rational government has to settle accounts all the time, whether it is worth fighting a war, and whether there is a more cost-effective way to solve it, these are all issues that must be considered, rather than being dominated by so-called self-esteem and blindly being tough.

If it is only reasonable and useful, there will be no war in this world. Well, it's impossible to change their point of view, just find a way to shut them up.

The first is to change the offensive and defensive posture of the two sides, since Longqing, the Ming Dynasty has sharpened its troops, and finally mobilized the strength of the whole country to launch a war of repetition, and achieved brilliant results, so that the officials of the DPRK and China realize that now I am strong and the enemy is weak, and the initiative is in my hands............ According to the silent arrangement, it should first start trading with the attached tribes, and then attract more tribes to join the tribes to solve this problem imperceptibly. But now, the sudden capture of Alta has given Wang Chonggu an opportunity to solve it quickly............ After all, the situation in the imperial court is changing, no one dares to say what they will be like in a few years, a hundred years is too long, seize the day, some things should be decided, don't leave it to future generations to regret.! ~！
