Blott explained with some embarrassment: "Lord Zhang misunderstood what I meant, our Kedun did not mean to send troops to garrison the Hetao, but to send some people to maintain order in Fang City with your people.

Mongolia and the Ming Kingdom have not opened a mutual market for a day or two, and the contradiction is not small, why? In the final analysis, it is that you Ming people do not follow the rules at all, and they deliberately suppress the price of furs, and they can often sell things for one or two silver in the Central Plains, and the silver in the hands of herdsmen may only be a penny.

If too many such things happen, I am afraid that the people's resentment will boil at that time, even if Mandu Hai Kedun and the little prince are unwilling to start a war, they will not be able to help them at that time.

For the sake of friendship between the two countries, Mr. Zhang should think carefully about this issue. ”

Zhang Ru said coldly: "Blot, don't say it so high-sounding, your people have been forced to buy and sell in the market from time to time, and every time there is a businessman who deliberately suppresses the price, I will deal with it severely and strictly." On the contrary, you so-called steppe warriors do not seem to have received any punishment.

Benhou also heard that not only did your warriors not receive the punishment they deserved, but they also received rewards from the tribe when they returned. ”

"This, Master Zhang, I think we have a misunderstanding." Blott was very embarrassed, because what Zhang Ru said was true.

It can be said that this is what happened with the acquiescence of the Golden Horde.

He didn't know why Zhang Ru didn't let them send people to the Hetao, but he knew how important the Hetao was to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Ru said: "Misunderstanding is not misunderstood, it doesn't matter what Ben Hou said, today you are a guest, I will let you enter the door, next time, our friends are not." The Hetao is the inherent territory of the Ming Dynasty, and whoever wants to invade it must be prepared to die. ”

Brott said unhappily: "I am the captain of the Golden Horde, and I have come to negotiate with Lord Zhang this time. ”

Zhang Ru sneered: "If the matter you want to negotiate is related to the Hetao, then there is no need for us to negotiate." You can take your little prince with you, but as long as I know that anyone other than merchants has entered the loop, I will not let any of them go. ”

Brott threatened: "Lord Zhang, you should think clearly, what kind of iron cavalry of my Tatar department is, you should know. The hard-won peace, you Ming Kingdom wants to break, the warriors on the grassland, there will definitely be no opinion. Killing people is the best means of the prairie warriors. ”

Zhang Ruman said indifferently: "Okay! Since Lord Blott wants to give it a try, Benhou doesn't mind touching you. Ben Hou wants to see if a Tatar tribe that is not united at all can spark with the millions of border troops of the Ming Dynasty. The ugly words are ahead, Batu Mengke has not left the Ming border for a day, as long as you Tatar use the sword soldiers, you Blott will have to bear the responsibility of killing the little Tatar prince. ”

"You" Blott was choked to the point where he had nothing to say.

He knew how much of the blame for killing the little prince was, and not everyone in the royal court supported him. Once he is saddled with this black cauldron, then someone will inevitably want him to die without a place to be buried.

After thinking about it for a long time, Blott realized what a stupid decision it was to threaten Zhang Ru.

In recent years, the grassland has been turbulent, and those small tribes have gradually grown up, and there is still a royal court in their eyes. On the other hand, Daming's side has been recuperating.

Although the opening of the sea ban cost a lot of money, and the formation of a sailor is a bottomless pit, the financial resources of the Ming Dynasty are still significantly better than the grassland.

In small-scale encounters, the iron cavalry on the grassland can rely on strong mobility to dodge and disturb the Ming border, but once a large-scale battle occurs, it is the advantage of the Ming Dynasty to occupy the battlefield.

After thinking about it, Blott had to pull down his face and smile dryly: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, Blott is a rude person who can't speak, please don't be angry." As long as the little prince can be released, what does the Hou Ye need, although it is. ”

Zhang Ru's face softened slightly, he took a sip of the teacup, put it down gently, and then squeezed out a smile: "This is not in a hurry, come, drink tea, drink tea." ”

Although this tea was fragrant, where could Blott drink it, if he could not bring the little prince back, his own life on the prairie would be more difficult than it was now.

Since the hard ones can't work, he can only come to the soft ones.

He didn't go to serve tea, just looked at Zhang Ru: "What does Master Hou want, although he says it bluntly, as long as Blott can afford it, Blott will definitely not shirk." ”

"In the grassland open market, you can choose the location of the market, but the market must be built next to a tribe with a population of more than 100,000 people. The craftsmen who built the Fang City, I can come out, but after the Fang City is built, you must escort these craftsmen back. As for whether you can steal their skills during the construction process, I don't care.

The Fang City on the grassland is managed by your own troops, but you must ensure the personal safety of my Ming merchants, once something happens, either you take the initiative to send the troublemakers to Daming, or I Ming leads troops to take people away.

Every year, 100,000 good grassland war horses are sent to Datong, and someone will hand them over to you at that time.

The Tatar tribes bowed to the Ming Dynasty and became vassals of the Ming Dynasty.

On the day of the return of the little prince, no one in the Hetao Plain shall herd horses and sheep, once my Ming border army finds out, there will be no forgiveness! The Tatars were not allowed to use this as an excuse to invade the Ming border, let alone wield butcher knives against the common people.

Every year, the Ming Dynasty can sell a batch of grain to the Tatar tribes for the winter, but the quantity will not be very large, and the Ming Dynasty will teach the grassland people the method of farming. Seeing that the heat was almost over, Zhang Ru said his conditions very frankly.

His conditions were very harsh, and he didn't think that Blott would be able to agree to his conditions with a sip of wine, he asked for a price, and Blott could pay back the money on the spot.

As for what the final price is, no one knows now.

Brott stood up very excitedly and said, "No, Lord Zhang, you are trying to provoke a war between the two countries, and you are not talking to me with the intention of negotiation at all." ”

Zhang Ru stood up and said, "What about the war?" You want to stand, the Ming million border army, accompany to the end! ”

With that, he walked out of the living room.

Now is not the time to stay here and wait for an answer, Blott needs a buffer time, he is here, Blot will veto all proposals because of the problem of face.

He wasn't here, and after Buloh had the privilege to weigh the gains and losses, he had to accept some of his conditions, and then reject some of them.

Zhang Ru, who walked out of the living room, was in a very comfortable mood, and the Ming Dynasty had been bullied by the Tatar Warat for a hundred years, and today, he personally broke back into a city.

He was not afraid that Blott would not agree to his request, after all, he seemed to have disappeared from the Ming Dynasty Hall over the years, but in fact, there was still a lot of information sent to his desk from all over the world.

Daming, except for the emperor, the busiest person is Zhang Ru.

"Boss, what does this Blott mean?" Wang Zhou asked when he saw Zhang Ru.

Zhang Ru pouted and said: "No matter what he means, now I am a knife, he is a fish, and he only has to let me slaughter." ”

"The boss is wise." Wang Zhou patted the horse.

Zhang Ru said unhappily: "Don't pat yourself on the back, go tell Tu Hu, get ready to go to the grassland, and when you get there, let him find a way to contact Ma Jinzhong, and don't worry about other things." ”

Wang Zhou arched his hand and said, "The subordinates obey the order." ”

After walking a few steps, Zhang Ru stopped him: "Slow down, send someone to Datong and tell Yang Rong to be ready to fight at any time." Inform Ma Xuan and let him pay attention to Yang Rong's every move, and if Yang Rong has any abnormal behavior, he can cut it first. ”

Wang Zhou felt very strange about his order: "Boss, Yang Rong is the chief soldier of Datong, will he be anti-minded?" ”

Zhang Ru waved his hand and said, "Go and do your business, you don't have to worry about the rest." ”

The figure in the corner flashed, Zhang Ru couldn't see it, but Wang Zhou didn't see it at all.

When it was night, after thinking about it all afternoon, Blott, who hadn't even eaten, made his own decision.

This time, he didn't dare to talk to Zhang Ru again, and said very seriously: "Master Zhang, I have thought about it, I can accept some of your suggestions, but there are two that we still need to discuss." ”

"Which two?" Zhang Ru asked nonchalantly.

At this time, he was not afraid of what kind of moth Blott would make. If the life of the people on the grassland was really so good, they would not be bent on taking back Batu Mengke, who had the pure blood of the Golden Family.

Of course, this Batu Mengke is of pure Han Chinese blood, which is unknown to Blott and the people of the steppe.

Brott said: "The matter of being a minister is to be discussed, and Mandu Haikedun will not agree, nor will the nobles of the royal court agree." ”

"And whatever!" Zhang Ru asked again.

Brott said: "The mass production of grassland war horses is not large, it is good to have 50,000 horses a year, and if you want 100,000 war horses, it is completely difficult for a strong man." ”

Zhang Ru said coldly: "How much can you give." ”

"Ten thousand!" Brott directly pushed the floor price to the minimum.

There are no less than 200,000 war horses produced on the grassland every year, but he refuses to give so many war horses to the Ming court. Who knows if the people of the Ming court will launch an attack on the grassland after taking the war horse.

Zhang Ru agreed without thinking about it: "Yes, these are not problems, the key is that the attitude of your Mongolians must come out." Your attitude comes out, and I'll be fine. ”

As soon as he heard this, Blott immediately regretted that he hadn't pushed the number down a little more.

But now that the wood is in the boat, he can't talk back anymore, after all, the little prince is still in the hands of the Ming people, if he talks back, the other party can hand it over without talking about the little prince.

The two sides agreed to let Batu Mengke return to the grassland three days later, Blott went to the post station with his entourage empty-handed, and Zhang Ru took the initiative to enter the courtyard where Tuhu and Ma Tongbei lived.

Since Su Qiqi's 'death', he has not entered this courtyard, and the two little guys have not taken the initiative to look for him.
