Chapter 292: Liu Jishan is fooling (5)
Liu Jishan flickered, and in the negotiation field, he had already taken full advantage, and he was able to rely on the emperor's high enough height to arrange the strategy; Second, Lin Dan Khan was jointly squeezed by Huang Taiji and the Mongolian right wing, and the pressure to survive was extremely great, so he had to lower his arrogant head, come down in a low voice to negotiate, and make a lot of forbearance; Third, Liu Jishan's information is very accurate, and the details of the opponent are clear; Fourth, the Ming Dynasty really wanted to unite with Lin Dan Khan to deal with the Eastern Emperor, and the conditions given were also quite sincere. Combining several advantages, Liu Jishan gradually took the initiative on the negotiating table and gained an advantage.
Lin Dan Khan was helpless and very annoyed.
The old Mongolian man took over and said, "Ming Dynasty envoys, how much can you Ming Dynasty pay for these heads?" "This envoy of the Ming Dynasty doesn't care about any dignity or undignity, and if he can get support, that's the best.
"Hehe, the price I offered is very high, three taels of silver and a head, of course, the head of the Dongyu Zhuangding, if it is a woman or a child, it is worthless, of course, if it is the forehead of the Dongyu, the chief, the price is much higher, you can get several times the price, if you can get the head of the Dongyu Huang Taiji, even if it is ten thousand gold, a prince, it is also possible." Liu Jishan began to bargain with the Mongols on the price of wild boar skin heads.
"Three taels of silver? Isn't that too cheap? If I remember correctly, the Ming Dynasty gave its own officials and soldiers, but there were as many as thirty taels of [Qi Jiajun's reward] silver, how did they get here, only three taels of silver? The envoy of the Ming Dynasty, is it wrong? The old Mongolian man asked in disbelief.
"Hehe, old man, this messenger is not wrong, it is three taels, or a stone of food, or something else, as long as you can bring the head, after verification, you can change whatever you want, the old man may think that three taels is too little, in fact, there are already a lot, you know, this is a big sweat, I took out these three taels of silver, I have tried my best, this can not be calculated according to the standard of my dynasty, I will offer such a high reward in order to stimulate morale, but the record is really not good, so, In fact, the reward paid by my dynasty is quite limited, and the three taels of silver prescribed to the Great Khan, with the ability of the Great Khan, are thousands of heads of Dongyu as soon as I make a move, and if I cash out, I will spend tens of thousands of taels of silver on the Great Khan, tens of thousands of taels! The Great Khan, for my dynasty is also a large amount, hehe, so, not only look at the price on both sides, but also look at the actual reward on both sides, with the Khan's combat power, the reward can be obtained is definitely several times that of the official army of our dynasty, the account is so, the Great Khan can understand? Liu Jishan used his three-inch tongue to fool these Mongolians to his heart's content.
The Mongols are stupid, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty are very shameless, and they can even say this kind of excuse, but this is also the truth, although the Ming Dynasty has a very high reward for itself, but unfortunately, the number of people who can get the reward is quite small, and if you look at the results of the battle between Lin Dan Khan and the Eastern Emperor, even if you are at a disadvantage, the number of Eastern Prisoners killed is far greater than that of the Ming Dynasty itself, so the reward you get will definitely be more than that of the Ming Dynasty.
"The envoys of the Ming Dynasty, three taels are too little, but the Ming Dynasty's own one, this point, we really can't accept it, at least five taels of silver, or two stones of grain for a head, and the Mongols and Han people who belong to the East Captives should also be counted into this, all of which are limited to adult men, women and children are not in it, if it is an elite warrior in the East, this price will be doubled, if it is a true one, then it will be doubled on the basis of the elite soldiers, and then it will be multiplied several times on the basis ......of the elite soldiers, and then it will be in accordance with the one before the Ming Dynasty. Capture the slave reward', how about it? "As soon as the old Mongolian man made a counteroffer, he doubled the price, and he was also a master of bargaining.
Liu Jishan got the authorization from the emperor is a stone of grain for a head, of course, this is the ideal state, the emperor does not have to take this as a standard, just said, according to the situation, if the drought is severe, you can buy the head of Dongyu at a lower price, Liu Jishan is in a dilemma, it is not the driest season, it has not yet reached the most difficult day, although the price of grain is very high, but it is far from the point where a few buckets of rice can be exchanged for a person's head.
Liu Jishan was very embarrassed, this matter exceeded the authorization given to him by the emperor, five taels of silver, according to the current market, you can buy almost two stones of grain.
"Hehe, old man, this price, to be honest, is a bit difficult to do! It's too high! Liu Jishan shook his head and rejected the proposal of the old Mongolian man, in fact, the price of five taels of silver to buy the head is not necessarily very high, if you can use a million taels of silver to quell the scourge of Dongyu, the Ming Dynasty people will raise their hands and feet to agree, but negotiation is negotiation, and it is necessary to lower the price.
Lin Dan Khan smiled, waved the whip in his hand, and said: "Messenger, since the emperor of the Ming Dynasty gave Ben Khan a big gift, Ben Khan has not returned the gift, so in this way, these days, Ben Khan sent people to Donglu to take the authentic Donglu head 300 as a gift to the Ming Dynasty emperor, which also shows Ben Khan's sincerity; Second, the envoy gave a little on the price of the head, and took five taels of silver as the benchmark to change the head, so that the messenger could receive the head of the authentic Dongyu as soon as possible, and the silver was just a little more, if the Ming Dynasty could get three hundred authentic Dongyu heads, it should be celebrated by the whole country, so why care about a little silver? Isn't it? If this can be done, the messenger will not waste his efforts, and he will have received a great merit! In front of the emperor, it's good to make a difference...... "Seeing that the negotiations were at an impasse, Lin Dan Khan immediately threw out a weight.
Three hundred authentic Dongyu heads, this number, more than the number of heads obtained by the Ming Dynasty Jinning victory, this is exactly Lin Dan Khan through the head to tease Liu Jishan, the result of the battle of Jinning, Lin Dan Khan of course knows, more than 200 heads, can make the entire Ming Dynasty celebrate, called a great victory, this matter, in the grassland, is also a laughing stock, Lin Dan Khan is confident, to take 300 heads, it is not a difficult thing, to take the head of the matter, the price of the head is raised.
Even if Liu Jishan is thick-skinned, he is not embarrassed by Lin Dan Khan's teasing, indeed, Jinning Dajie, who really confirmed the head, that is, more than 200, this is called a great victory, saying it, it is really embarrassing to deceive yourself.
Liu Jishan's brain teaser turned quickly, and he quickly calculated a few times, and he also had an idea in his heart, the emperor's trust, the emperor's strategy, and the emperor's intentions, not to worry about this reward.
"Good! Since the Great Khan is so refreshing, the messenger is waiting for the head of the Great Khan, and the price of the head is based on the meaning of the Great Khan, and the price of the head is subject to five taels of silver. Liu Jishan agreed to Lin Dan Khan's request very boldly, raised the silver from three taels to five taels, and of course, dug a pit for Lin Dan Khan, preparing to put Lin Dan Khan together.
"Good! If the envoy was indeed a cheerful man, then it was decided, and Ben Khan immediately sent troops to fetch 300 heads for the envoy to reflect the sincerity of Ben Khan's unity. Lin Dan Khan smiled from ear to ear, he just mentioned the scars of the Ming Dynasty slightly, the Ming Dynasty people couldn't stand it, and agreed to raise the price of the head to five taels, this is really a good deal, he has won and lost each other in the last few battles with Dongyu, and the dead and wounded are thousands, or even tens of thousands, if they are exchanged for silver, it is really a very cost-effective deal, it can be said that it is for nothing.
Liu Jishan also smiled, and secretly set up an ambush for Lin Dan Khan, and said, "Okay, good!" The sweat is really refreshing, then it's decided! The head of the Dongyu, our dynasty has always had the means to verify, this point, the Great Khan needs to be verified by our dynasty, can not use the head to impersonate, this point, the envoy can remind the Great Khan. ”
"This is no problem, Ben Khan promises that he will not use human heads to impersonate, it will definitely be the heads of authentic Donglu, of course, envoys, words can be said in front, the Mongolian tribes who have now taken refuge in Dongju, including the Han people, these people also belong to Dongju, and their adult males also came out to fight, so, these heads, of course, are adult, not adult, women and children are not counted, how, Ben Khan is sincere enough." Lin Dan Khan saw this point, and now many tribes that have taken refuge in the East are still Mongols, and even many Han people, it is a bit difficult to kill 300 real East Captive men, but it is quite simple to use the heads of these Mongols and Han people who have taken refuge in the East Captives.
"No problem, as long as the Great Khan does not pretend, I have a way to determine whether it is a person from the East, even if it is a Mongol and Han who have just taken refuge in the East, it is also counted, the Great Khan just takes the head, this messenger is to see the head of the person to give silver, unambiguously, in addition, the man has not yet become a man, the price is set at one or two, and he will also buy it together. If the Great Khan has it, he will also send it with him. Liu Jishan accepted it without care, the emperor was carrying out the project of registering the Dongyu, how much was the population of that family, and the male belonged to that Niu Lu, and the Ming Dynasty was clear.
"Refreshing!" Lin Dan Khan now fully believes in the sincerity of the Ming Dynasty and his alliance, laughing heartily, he can get thousands of heads and 10,000 taels of silver in a battle, this expectation has far exceeded his original expectations.
Liu Jishan smiled and nodded.
The old Mongolian man opened his eyes and said: "Envoy of the Ming Dynasty, there is one thing, I still want to mention, that is, the matter of our two mutual markets, this matter, the Ming Dynasty promised us before, for this reason, we have contributed a lot to the Ming Dynasty, and now, the two families are further united, this mutual market, should it also be expanded?" ”
Liu Jishan said boldly: "Although the old man is relieved at this point, although the Great Khan is relieved, this matter, I have always admitted it, and it is also serious, the horse market of our two families, right here, this place where we stand, the Great Khan is here, and you can buy the same things as the previous horse market, or even more, so the Great Khan can rest assured." ”
"Here?" Not only Lin Dan Khan was surprised, but the old Mongolian man, the Hongyi Lama, was also surprised!
"Yes, this is it. This place. "This place chosen by Liu Jishan is close to the Xiaoling River and Jinzhou to the north, which can be used to defend Jinzhou.
"Messenger, why is this place? The Ming Dynasty is not afraid that our Mongols will make it bad? "Lin Dan Khan is confused, this is the hinterland outside the Ming Dynasty! The horse market was set up here, and the people of the Ming Dynasty were not afraid that the Mongols would suddenly turn their faces and plunder the people of the Ming Dynasty? Grass valley is a Mongolian tradition.
"Make it bad? Hehe, the Great Khan and our dynasty are united, our dynasty believes in the Great Khan, believes that the Great Khan can control his subordinates, both families have a common enemy, I believe that the Great Khan can understand the painstaking efforts of our dynasty, and I am not worried about the Great Khan making it bad. Liu Jishan said so, in fact, Liu Jishan is not afraid of the Mongols at all, first, now that there are grenades to defend the city, who dares to climb the walls of the Ming Dynasty? As for the problem of small-scale plunder, Liu Jishan believes that Lin Dan Khan now has a request for the Ming Dynasty, and if he wants to make it bad, he will first look at his own situation, once he angers the Ming Dynasty and breaks off his alliance, he will immediately be like a kite with a broken string, unable to float a few times, which is more important, Lin Dan Khan will understand as long as he is not a fool.
Lin Dan Khan's mind is relatively simple, and when he heard Liu Jishan say this, he nodded, thinking that what he said was that since the Ming Dynasty was not afraid of coming to fight the grass valley by himself, why did he care so much? If the people of the Ming Dynasty want to say that they defend the city, they have a hand, but when it comes to field battles, Lin Dan Khan also looks down on them.
But obviously, the old Mongolian man was not easy to deal with, and said: "The envoy of the Ming Dynasty set up the horse market under this Jinzhou city, but he was afraid that the eastern captives would come to plunder?" ”
"Hehe, old man, that's right, it's also a bit of this meaning, Jinzhou is now the largest city in my front line outside the Guan, set up the horse market here, be safer, there will definitely be a lot of materials in the horse market, once it is plundered by the Dongyu, the loss of our two families is not small, isn't it cheaper to Dongyu? Besides, now that the two of us are united, and the defense line is even closer together, Dongyu wants to come and grab something, and he is afraid to weigh it, old man, what do you say? Liu Jishan explained.
"In that case, why don't we set up our two horse markets in Xuan and Da? It used to be a horse market for trading with Mongolia, and it was located there, so there was no need to worry about the problem of the Eastern Captives, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, what do you think? This old Mongolian man felt that the abnormality was a demon, and he didn't believe that the people of the Ming Dynasty would be so kind, so he asked tentatively.
"Hehe, old man, in fact, there is another layer of meaning, there is no explanation, the old man must have heard about my relief of ten million taels of silver to His Majesty." Liu Jishan began to flicker.
"This, I have indeed heard of it, speaking of which, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is worthy of being rich all over the world! He is the richest person in the world, ten million taels of silver, I am afraid that it will be piled up into a mountain. "When this old man said that he was ten million taels of silver, his eyes were also shining, which was a great fortune in any case. The Mongols are very happy to get the Ming Dynasty to trade with each other every year and earn a few silvers, which is really incomparable with the Ming Dynasty emperor's 10 million taels of silver.
"Alas...... If the old man knows, doesn't he understand? Why spend so much money on disaster relief? Because I pointed out to His Majesty that I was facing the north, there would be a continuous drought, so the grain harvest in the north was poor, and the materials were in short supply, so I had to rely on mobilizing food and materials from the south, and it was difficult to travel long distances, and it was difficult to transfer and consume hugely, and it was too difficult to support the Great Khan from the land, so His Majesty specially requested that all the materials related to the Great Khan should be shipped by sea and directly ashore in Jinning, so that the huge consumption of land transshipment could be offset, otherwise, when the time came, Lin Dan Khan was afraid of ten taels of silver, and he would not be able to buy a stone of grain, I am also for the sake of the Great Khan! Sincerely cooperate with the Great Khan, the Great Khan knows, I have always been in the Mao Wenlong Department, the materials have always been transported by sea, directly from the south to Mao Wenlong, in the future, the materials of our Jinning defense line, like the Great Khan, all by sea, no longer by land. Therefore, the horse market was set up here to facilitate transportation, and the defense line of the Great Khan was connected together, back to back, and the Great Khan took supplies here, wouldn't it be better? It's much closer to each other than from Xuanda, isn't it? Therefore, after that, the Great Khan's trading, mutual markets, and receiving materials and so on, all come here, and don't go to the border wall in the hinterland, there is nothing the Great Khan needs...... "Liu Jishan looks like I'm good for you."
Lin Dan Khan, Na Nai, and Hongyi Lama were all dumbfounded! For nothing else, but the god man in Liu Jishan's mouth. Mongolians are extremely believing in Buddhism, believing that there are gods and Buddhas in the world, and now they are dumbfounded when they hear an official of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor's confidant envoy say that the emperor has a god in his dream to guide this kind of thing! What is even more stunned is that the Ming Dynasty actually used 10 million taels of silver to relieve disasters according to the emperor's dream, doesn't this mean that the emperor really dreamed of a god? Otherwise, the ministers would let the emperor play like this? These people, all have a lot of seeking longevity, seeking the truth of God's **, now listening to Liu Jishan said, the mind of negotiating with the people of the Ming Dynasty, most of them went to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty again, it was just a rumor before, believe it or not, or between the two, now, but the Ming Dynasty officials, the emperor's confidants said it personally, the credibility naturally increased greatly, and the attraction of this is naturally different.
Lin Dan Khan forgot that he was Lin Dan Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia, and also forgot that he was in a disadvantageous situation, and also forgot that he had to fight to the death with the enemy, and began to ask Liu Jishan sincerely: "Messenger, is this matter true?" Are there really gods? ”
Liu Jishan looked at Lin Dan Khan with a pious look, looked at the clarity in Lin Dan Khan's eyes, and almost couldn't believe his eyes, this is Lin Dan Khan, who killed people like hemp?
"Great Khan, this matter is absolutely true, the envoy has personally experienced it, at the beginning, when I decided to provide disaster relief, but even the summer harvest has not yet arrived, my court decided to provide disaster relief, the scale is so large, it is to deal with the disaster that the god said, hehe, if it is not for the guidance of the god is true, I can be willing to use ten million taels of silver to do this nonsense?" The emperor predicted the disaster in Shaanxi, and Liu Jishan participated in the whole process, and he can be described as an insider about the process. Speaking of which, it is also full of emotion, fortunately, the god is pointing out His Majesty the Emperor, if it is the opponent of the Ming Dynasty, then the earth will sink and hell will come!
"Emperor Daming is really a blessing! It's really a blessing to be guided and valued by the gods......" Lin Dan Khan said in an envious tone, with only yearning, piety, and clarity in his eyes.
Liu Jishan looked at Lin Dan Khan and felt that it was really unbelievable, Lin Dan Khan, who had killed more than 100,000 people on the Mongolian right wing, would have such a pious and clear gaze.
