Chapter 173: The Great War's Monkey

"My lord, it's been three days, and we've eaten all the dry food we brought, what do you think we should do?" Sun Ying said worriedly, he was a hundred households of Jinyiwei, he spent the night in the border army in his early years, and his kung fu was strong, this time he took four brothers to protect Yang Jisheng out of the city to see me back.

When they saw the Mongols, they were sent to the barracks, thrown into a tent near the stable, and never questioned again, as if they did not know about them.

"Nothing to eat? It's so easy to do! Yang Jisheng stood up suddenly, patted his buttocks and walked outside, got out of the tent, and walked a few steps to the east, when a pungent smell of urine hit, and hundreds of sturdy horses couldn't stop neighing, as if they were alive and well.

"Tartars are rampant all over the world, and it depends on you!"

Yang Jisheng sighed, took out a short fire gun from his arms, aimed it at the tallest war horse, snapped, the horse's head was punched out of a fist-sized hole, blood gushed out, the war horse fell to the ground, convulsed a few times, and died. Without saying a word, Yang Jisheng jumped over the railing, took out a swift dagger, cut off half of his bloody hind legs, returned to the tent, and removed the kettle from the stove.

"Come on, brethren, it's time for a barbecue!"

Several Jinyi guards were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene, Sun Ying slapped himself roundly, and slapped himself hard, half of his face turned red.

Yang Jisheng gave him a blank look, "Are you crazy?" ”

"I'm not crazy, it's my lord, you're crazy!" Sun Ying didn't know what to say, so she grabbed Yang Jisheng's arm and said, "My lord, run, the Tartars won't let us go." ”

Yang Jisheng shook his arm and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you running, I still have to eat horse meat, how fresh." As he spoke, he got a little salt from somewhere, and roasted it deliciously.

Sun Ying's face turned green. "My ancestors, you are trying to kill us!"

"Don't worry, the Tartars won't dare touch us."

As he spoke, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and suddenly the tent opened, and a group of Tartars with scimitars rushed in. The guy at the head saw that the clothes turned out to be a Han man, and he came in like a fierce look, and when he saw Yang Jisheng roasting meat slowly, his nose was crooked.

"If you dare to kill the Great Khan's war horse, I will kill you!" This guy raised the knife and slashed it down according to Yang Jisheng, Yang Jisheng didn't even raise his head, and said to himself: "Get out of the way, don't block the light." Who's the bake is it? ”

Still thinking about eating, this guy has a problem with his brain?

"What are you pretending to be stupid, I'm going to kill you!"

Yang Jisheng glanced up at him and smiled contemptuously, "If you have the ability, you will already use the knife, tell your master, and say that when I finish eating horse meat, I will go to see him again!" ”

The man waved his sword. I was stunned and didn't cut it down, so I could only slam down viciously: "Take care of the tent." ”

The tartar turned and left. Sun Ying was so frightened that his legs were weak just now, there were so many people on the other side, as long as they gave an order, they could become dumpling fillings.

"Lord Yang, don't say anything, I'll serve you alone in this life!"

Yang Jisheng smiled faintly and reached out to pat Sun Ying's face. Wet, all sweaty!!

……

"I've seen the Khan." Yang Jisheng faced me answer, but just arched his hand casually.

The Han man he had just seen jumped out again and scolded angrily: "Why don't you kneel when you see the Great Khan, kneel down quickly!" ”

Yang Jisheng stretched out his hand and slapped it. chuckled: "In the summer, there are so many mosquitoes." ”

"You!" The angry lackey wanted to rush up, but Altan Khan stretched out his big hand, stopped him, and laughed: "Han envoy, you are very courageous, Ben Khan intends to recruit you, are you willing to be Ben Khan's subordinate?" ”

Yang Jisheng glanced at me and said with a chuckle: "King Khan, I thought you should not waste time, hurry up and get down to business." ”

"Hahaha, it's interesting and interesting, it's been a long time since I've seen a Han man with such hard bones!"

Yang Jisheng said disdainfully: "There are too many bones in the Han people, it's just that the King of Khan likes to recruit some beasts who are not human or ghost!" ”

"You!" The guy standing next to me was so angry that his hair stood on end, but I gave him a fierce glare, and said angrily, "Get out of the way!" ”

The guy stepped aside angrily, and I replied with a smile: "Okay, Ben Khan likes to go straight, this time Ben Khan led 100,000 troops, and all he asked for was one thing, that is, Tonggong, as long as he promised Ben Khan, he would immediately withdraw the army, if he didn't agree, the warriors under Ben Khan could also do it!" ”

Before the words fell, the Mongolian generals on both sides drew their sabers and shouted loudly to cheer, the cold light flashed, if they were timid, they would really lie down, but they faced the world's most daring Yang Jisheng, and it was completely in vain.

"King Khan, swords do not grow food, and bowstrings do not spin cloth. What's the use of you scaring me? If you really want to talk, you have to be sincere. ”

"It's a character, you put away your weapons." I replied and stared at Yang Jisheng, and Yang Jisheng also looked at him fearlessly. The two of them are like vindictive old bulls, and in the end, I gave up first.

"Ben Khan said that it was for the sake of trade, as long as he promised, Ben Khan immediately withdrew his troops and never broke his word."

Yang Jisheng smiled and said: "King Khan, since this is the case, please give me a letter of state, and I will return to Beijing immediately and report to the imperial court." ”

I replied and agreed, and motioned to his subordinates to give Yang Jisheng the national letter that had been prepared. Yang Jisheng and Sun Ying left the Tartar military camp, swaggered, and returned to the capital.

……

"It seems that the Tartars have a lot of appetite!" Tang Yi sighed, I actually asked the Ming Dynasty to set up a horse market on the same line of Xuanfu Datong in one breath, and allowed the Mongols to come to trade at will. And he also had to compensate for the expenses of the teacher, and made a detailed list, but he asked for 100,000 taels of silver, which was not a lot, but the back made people vomit blood. 2,000 iron pots, 200,000 rice bowls, 3,000 quintals of tea, 10,000 hoes, and 5,000 iron ploughs......

Just looking at all the things, Tang Yi's eyes turned red, if he was in power, he would not be able to ask for this kind of trade, but it was a pity that he had to refuse it for the sake of the dignity of the imperial court at the moment.

"Elder Ge, you have a lot of experience, let's see how you can delay time."

Xu Jie took the national letter, read it twice, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"This letter of state is only written in Chinese, and according to the rules, there must be Han and Mongolian characters before it can be officially classified into the Ministry of Rites, and it will be troublesome for Zhongfang to go again."

Yang Jisheng didn't say anything, turned around and said goodbye to Xu Jie, went to the city again, and tied it with a bamboo basket.

When he saw Altan Khan, he said with a smile: "Congratulations to the Khan, our dynasty has agreed in principle to Tonggong's request, but there are some details to be dealt with." ”

"The details? What details? ”

"It's very simple, such as the national letter, in order to respect the Khan King, the national letter must have Han and Mongolian languages, this one is only Chinese, if it is passed on to future generations, I am afraid that it will be said that the Khan King is cowardly and submitted, and even the Mongolian text has been forgotten!"

"Ball, Ben Khan will be afraid of you!"

Altan Khan didn't think much about it, and immediately changed a bilingual letter of state, and asked Yang Jisheng to bring it back to the capital.

……

The next day, Yang Jisheng went outside the city again and met me smoothly.

"King Khan, Your Majesty and the cabinet have agreed, but there are still some troubles."

"What's the trouble, why do you Han people have so many things?" I was already furious.

Yang Jisheng was still unhurried, and said with a smile: "King Khan, the two sides do business, Mongolia is just cattle, sheep and horses, there is nothing to say, and my dynasty is rich in products, variety, and prices are also very different, Lord Tang proposed to make a list of commodities and issue a guide price." With this thing, you can ensure your interests and save trade frictions. ”

Yang Jisheng gave me another lesson in international trade, and I was dizzy to listen, but what he had dreamed of for many years was about to come true, so he was patient and sent a few Han people under his command to negotiate with the people brought by Yang Jisheng.

After two days of verbal debate, the two sides finally finalized the preliminary list.

Can trade in this way, obviously not, and then the Ming side proposed to set up a ticket number jointly managed by both parties, which can be deposited and transferred, and a special trial yamen can be set up to deal with case disputes......

When it comes to the end, I am crazy, I really want to flip the table and don't talk about it, Lao Tzu wants a tribute, is it so troublesome!

Yang Jisheng was still full of smiles, "King Khan, if you don't prepare, you will be abolished, you can talk about these tribute regulations in all fairness, which one is not for your consideration, the Heavenly Empire is willing to accept all rivers, and please also ask King Khan to take into account the face of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"How about you want Ben Khan again?"

"It's very simple, the Khan King retreated out of Gubeikou, the treaty will take effect immediately, and our first batch of goods will be delivered to the military camp immediately, there is no ambiguity, what do you think?"

My brow was twisted into a pimple, and his talents were limited to military affairs, and the continuous arguments for many days had exhausted his patience.

"Ben Khan agreed, if you still repeat it, Ben Khan will immediately attack the capital, there is no ambiguity!"

"Hehehe, King Khan, it's a little more troublesome now, and when the tribute begins, you will feel very convenient, and everything will be smooth sailing."

"I hope so." I said weakly.

Under the protection of Sun Ying, Yang Jisheng hurriedly returned to the capital, and he had only walked for less than two hours when he saw the Tartars outside the city packing their bags and beginning to retreat north.

Yuxi Palace Jingshe, Jiajing looked at the report sent every day, and almost laughed so much that tears came out.

Xu Jie used words to say things, and asked me to change the national letter, which made Jiajing's eyes light up, and he didn't see that Xu Jie was also wilted and broken. But then Tang Yi's various tricks made me answer around, similar to a monkey, which made Jiajing addicted. The two veins of Ren Du all over his body have been opened, and his body is light all day long.

Each article seems to be designed to answer well, in order to reduce trade disputes, read the whole article, and fill in all possible loopholes. If it weren't for the sake of face, Jiajing really wanted to follow Tang Yi's design and answer Tonggong with me.

The highest level of deception is to deceive and deceive, and even believe in yourself.

Under Tang Yi's ingenious arrangement, ten days passed in a hurry, the people in the capital settled down from the initial panic, the newly recruited young men already had a slight appearance, and Tang Shen also carefully selected from the Beijing camp and found out three thousand available soldiers. Under the command of Tang Yi, the military department also urgently made a batch of munitions......

On this day, the army of Altan came to Baiyangkou, and suddenly several cavalry rushed from the north. When he was far away, he rolled off his horse, used his hands and feet, and ran to my horse.

"Qi Qi Great Khan, Minggou's men and horses have been killed to the grassland!" (To be continued.) )
